That blazing sun, the bright solitary moon, and the sky full of stars faded from the horizon one by one, and the entire thatched cottage returned to its original, ordinary state.

Maren’s eyes were filled with absolute joy, and she could not help but marvel. "The alchemy skills of these two seniors must truly be heaven-reaching! No wonder my Veil family ancestor, who was merely a mortal of flesh and blood before stepping into this secret realm, possessed such miraculous alchemy skills afterwards."

"Now that I have also glimpsed a fraction of these two seniors’ alchemy skills, I will definitely become an alchemy mighty figure like Ancestor Raiden in the future."

More than just rivaling Raiden.

In Adam’s eyes, Maren’s future achievements in alchemy would likely far surpass his.

Raiden’s alchemy skills were indeed outstanding, but his innate blood qi was insufficient and his physique weak, his fortuitous encounter in the secret realm managed to replenish his blood qi, but he ultimately missed the optimal time for cultivation, making it difficult to achieve great things on the path of cultivation.

Alchemists and cultivators complemented each other.

Any powerful alchemist must inevitably possess powerful cultivation, without strong cultivation as a foundation, an alchemist simply could not refine certain powerful precious pills.

If forcefully refined, they would likely suffer pill backlash, the Eternal Pine Pill was a bloody example.

The Eternal Pine Pill was a Deity-tier pill.

A thousand years ago, Raiden, with mere Mortal Supreme cultivation, tried to go against the heavens and forcefully refine this Deity-tier pill, he suffered a backlash and died young.

Maren’s cultivation talent was superb. At only eighteen, she was already at the Peak Innate realm.

This talent naturally could not compare to him and Cecilia, but looking at the younger generation across all of Silver Willow, she was absolutely a top-tier existence.

As long as she did not perish midway, this girl was destined to stir up the winds and clouds of Silver Willow in the future.

Noticing Adam’s gaze, Maren finally remembered his presence, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes. "Young Master Adam, all the opportunities in this secret realm have been obtained by me. I’ve made you come all this way for nothing."

"It’s fine, this one also had some minor gains in the secret realm."

Adam smiled faintly, not taking it to heart, he then said, "Miss Maren, if you don’t mind, could you gift me the Blood Python Branch, Iron Meridian Blood Ginseng, Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit, Yin Spirit Flower, and a few other ancient herbs?"

Maren was momentarily stunned but did not refuse, she had just harvested many great herbs, and the ancient herbs Adam asked for were nothing special.

Taking the herbs Maren handed over, Adam threw them one by one into the bronze cauldron. He then took out an Enlightenment Fruit from his storage bag and placed it into the cauldron as well.

"Young Master Adam, are you going to refine pills?!"

"Mm," Adam nodded.

An Enlightenment Fruit nurtured nine powerful Dao Laws.

A person who consumed this fruit could comprehend one of those Dao Laws, he, however, was refining Enlightenment Pills to extract the Dao Laws perfectly.

One Enlightenment Fruit could be refined into nine Enlightenment Pills, each containing one specific Dao Law.

Not only could a cultivator choose freely, but the pill also made it easier to comprehend the Dao Law it contained than eating the raw fruit, and the comprehension would be more profound.

Becoming a Mortal Supreme required comprehending Dao Laws.

The deeper the comprehension, the further one walked in the Mortal Supreme realm. Comprehending more Dao Laws would similarly provide a massive boost to one’s strength.

Ordinary cultivators would only comprehend one Dao Law. Only peerless monstrous talents, in pursuit of absolute invincibility within their realm, would cultivate several simultaneously.

What Adam comprehended was the Dao Laws of Creation, one of the highest Great Daos between heaven and earth, he completely looked down on ordinary Dao Laws, so he had never chosen the path of cultivating multiple Dao Laws simultaneously.

However, if they were Dao Laws nurtured within an Enlightenment Fruit, that was a different story.

The Dao Laws nurtured in an Enlightenment Fruit were all exceptionally powerful. If one had deep fortune, even comprehending the Top Ten Dao Laws was not impossible.

Ancient texts recorded that ten thousand years ago, a cultivator whose luck rivaled the heavens actually comprehended the Dao Law of Space, one of the top ten Dao Laws of the Mysterious Yellow Great World, from an Enlightenment Fruit.

Relying on the Dao Law of Space, this cultivator advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually comprehending the Great Dao of Space and becoming one of the pinnacle cultivators of that era.

If he could comprehend a powerful Dao Law from the Enlightenment Pills, it would still provide a massive boost to his strength.

Covering the cauldron with its lid, Adam ignited his Heart Fire and began refining.

Above the lid, wisps of green vapor rose, exuding the rich fragrance of great medicine.

Within the Medicine Immortal Secret Realm, endless supreme-grade spiritual qi gathered around the bronze cauldron like a surging torrent, then poured directly into it.

The cauldron did not look large, but it seemed to contain its own world, actually swallowing the entirety of this torrent.

After a long while, the green vapor dissipated, Adam opened the lid. Instantly, radiant light shot out in all directions.

Nine Enlightenment Pills exuding thick pill clouds had been successfully refined.

Adam reached in and took out the nine Enlightenment Pills radiating intense pill glow one by one.

"Dao Law of Sword, Dao Law of Thunder, Dao Law of Five Elements..."

The quality of this batch is quite good! Eight pills in a row nurtured Dao Laws that were absolutely top-tier in the Mysterious Yellow Great World.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Adam’s eyes.

Comprehending any one of these eight Dao Laws would massively boost his strength.

Adam reached back into the cauldron, preparing to take out the final Enlightenment Pill, suddenly, a rosy glow several times more intense than before burst from within.

Pill glow filled the sky, so blinding that it made it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
