“Father, Mother, your child is a bit tired and would like to rest for a while.” William Clark still needed to recuperate, so he politely asked them to leave.

“Yuan’er, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, you should rest more. If anything comes up, have Lucy notify us.” With that, the couple led everyone out of the room.

……

William Clark began to meditate, guiding the yuan force within his body to dissolve the medicinal power of the detoxification pill, clearing away the toxins inside him.

Unfortunately, the yuan force in his body was pitifully scarce, so the efficiency was naturally low. The once mighty Pill Emperor, having just been reborn, nearly died not from poison, but from sheer frustration.

By the time William Clark had fully digested the medicinal power in his body, dawn was already breaking. This session of meditation had actually taken six hours—truly bizarre.

However, the hard work finally paid off. William Clark’s complexion was now noticeably rosier, his spirit rejuvenated, and most of the toxins in his body had been cleared away.

For the current William Clark, this was nothing remarkable. With Edwin Clark’s mastery of alchemy, fully extracting the effects of a small detoxification pill was hardly a challenge.

Thinking back, although his predecessor had been rather careless in cultivation, it wasn’t without its benefits.

Now, this body was like a blank sheet of paper, allowing Edwin Clark to do as he pleased without fear of damaging it. If the predecessor had practiced recklessly, Edwin Clark would have had to pay a hefty price to rebuild the foundation. Now, much trouble was saved.

Although the poison of heartbreak grass was no longer a major concern, the detoxification pill from Henry Clark was limited in potency, leaving a small amount of toxin in the body. Moreover, the pill itself was flawed, leaving behind some pill poison in William Clark’s system. After daybreak, he would need to find some herbs to completely eliminate these hidden dangers.

Fortunately, the The Clark Family was one of the most renowned alchemy families in the Qin Kingdom, so obtaining some herbs would not be a problem.

With some time left before dawn, William Clark decided to carefully plan his path after rebirth.

In his previous life, Edwin Clark was obsessed with alchemy and neglected martial arts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so powerless before that traitor.

Edwin Clark practiced martial arts only to better refine pills—just enough to get by. Because of this, he became the youngest Pill Emperor in the Divine Realm.

Back then, when he achieved the title of Pill Emperor, all the great holy lands of the Divine Realm hailed him as the most likely genius in tens of thousands of years to reach the realm of Pill God. It should be known that no one had reached the Pill God realm for hundreds of thousands of years.

Past glory was just that—the past. Now, the genius Edwin Clark of the Divine Realm was gone, replaced by the young man William Clark of the lower world, embarking on a path of vengeance.

Since he was set on revenge against that traitor, Edwin Clark would have to devote himself to martial arts in this life. Although that traitor was slightly inferior to Edwin Clark in alchemy, he was an undisputed genius in martial arts. To surpass him, the current William Clark would have to work even harder.

For a young man from a mortal nation in the lower world, the greatest lack was nothing more than resources and cultivation methods. Resources were indeed a luxury for William Clark at the moment, but as for cultivation methods, that was the one thing he lacked least.

Alchemists, whether in the lower world or the Divine Realm, held extremely high status. What’s more, Edwin Clark’s father, Samuel Clark, was the number one Pill Emperor in the Divine Realm, and over the years had collected countless cultivation methods.

Although Edwin Clark was not particularly interested in martial arts, he had read extensively to aid his alchemy and improve his realm. Finding a few suitable cultivation methods for himself was no problem at all.

After sorting through memories of his previous life, William Clark finally chose a technique called “Nine Suns Divine Art of Lingzhe” as his main cultivation method.

This technique was the primary cultivation method of the famous Arthur Clark in the Divine Realm. Back then, in order to refine a ninth-rank pill, he sought out Samuel Clark, but couldn’t gather the required payment, so he left his own main cultivation method behind.

This technique was extremely domineering. With it, Arthur Clark swept through the Divine Realm undefeated, becoming one of the ten most mysterious supreme beings.

In the Divine Realm, anything associated with the word “God” was of the utmost rarity, and any such item would spark a bloody storm.

When the “Nine Suns Divine Art of Lingzhe” first appeared, the entire Divine Realm was shaken. It’s said that over ten God Kings fell in the struggle to seize this technique, but in the end, it was obtained by the then-unknown Arthur Clark.

After lying low for more than a decade, he emerged in a single bound to become one of the top God Kings in the Divine Realm. If not for the fact that the ninth-rank pill was so precious and crucial to Arthur Clark, he would never have traded this technique for it.

Of course, he entrusted the technique to Samuel Clark with confidence because both Samuel Clark and his son were obsessed with alchemy and uninterested in worldly affairs, having no designs on his cultivation method.

William Clark reviewed the “Nine Suns Divine Art of Lingzhe” once more, then began to circulate the technique as described. Threads of yuan force entered his body, and a faint yellow glow emanated from him.

The Qi Foundation Realm—drawing the yuan force of heaven and earth into the body—was the stage of building one’s foundation.
