Upon hearing Tang Ling's angry scolding, Tang Yan remained silent. He knew that although his grandfather's words were filled with fury, deep down, Old Ling still cherished his only grandson, especially since his father had been missing for years, and he had no uncles or brothers as the sole heir of the Tang Family.

He was also pondering his current situation. With his Dantian crippled, even though he knew the formula for refining the medicinal pill to restore his meridians, the pill was of the sixth rank, while the entire Tianxiang Kingdom had only a handful of fourth-rank alchemists. Who could he possibly find to refine a sixth-rank pill?

What should he do next in his cultivation?

Without the power to protect himself, he would be crushed to nothing in this martial world.

Tang Ling couldn't help but wonder why this kid was so well-behaved today. Normally, if he was bullied, he would be all riled up, begging for revenge. What changed today?

What surprised Tang Ling even more was that this kid, usually dressed flamboyantly and carelessly, never changed despite countless scoldings. Yet today, his attire was simple and proper. Had he really changed his ways?

Looking at his posture, though his head was lowered and he didn't speak, he stood straight, showing a hint of dignity.

"This time, it's fortunate that Uncle Mo arrived in time. If he had been any later, that little beast from the Liu Family might have taken the opportunity to kill you. Be more careful in the future, don't cause trouble. If you dare to stir up trouble again, you'll face the family rules! Now, leave!"

Seeing his grandson remain silent, Tang Ling was unsure what the boy was thinking. Although his Dantian was destroyed, he never wanted to cultivate in the first place. Tang Ling didn't expect him to achieve anything in martial arts. He just hoped he could live safely and carry on the Tang Family line.

"The young master seems different today," the old butler, who had been silent, suddenly remarked.

Tang Old Master nodded, sighed, and said, "I don't know if it's just an illusion. Maybe it's because he's recovering from a serious illness. Who knows what he'll be like in a few days? If he truly changes, we should hire some teachers for him to learn business strategies. If he excels in management, it could be a viable path."

...

Tang Yan was unaware of the conversation between Tang Old Master and Uncle Mo. He walked back with a heavy heart. Having just transmigrated into this world, his Dantian was already in a ruined state—a hellish start!

Tang Yan couldn't help but think of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron. If it existed, he could use it to cultivate again. Unfortunately, the cauldron was in an even worse state than he was, having vanished into thin air.

Although he couldn't control the alchemical fire with true Qi, Tang Yan wasn't one to sit idle. He turned and headed to the library, eager to learn about this world, especially its herbs, which were fundamental to alchemy.

After skimming through a few books, Tang Yan couldn't help but smile. Although this world was culturally different from China, the names, properties, and effects of the herbs were remarkably similar!

Despite this, Tang Yan still went through each book page by page, memorizing the differences. When he looked out the window, the sun had already set. He touched his protesting stomach, smiled, and returned to his courtyard.

After eating the dinner prepared by Little Cui, Tang Yan sat on his bed, carefully organizing his thoughts.

His luck was indeed extraordinary. Forcing a breakthrough had caused the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron to explode, yet he had managed to transmigrate and live again.

However, the situation of his original body was equally frustrating.

First, his father disappeared ten years ago. The original body was uneducated and incompetent. Although the Tang Family was a prominent family in Yun City, without strength, if his grandfather passed away, it would likely mark the end of the Tang Family.

"I can't just sit and wait for death. I must regain my strength!" Tang Yan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and decided to see if his transmigration could work a miracle and allow him to cultivate again.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he calmed his mind, focused, and tried to enter a meditative state.

Five minutes passed, and his Dantian showed no reaction...

A quarter of an hour passed, and still no reaction...

An hour passed, and there was still no reaction...

In his previous life, as a 9th Rank Alchemist, Tang Yan often spent ten days to half a month by the cauldron, possessing a strong will. However, with no response from his Dantian for half a day, he gradually became restless.

Fing Hell, is cultivation even possible?

Just as Tang Yan was about to give up, a familiar, vast aura suddenly erupted from his sea of consciousness.

Tang Yan's heart trembled violently. This aura... it was the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron!

He quickly calmed his mind, immersing his consciousness into his sea of consciousness. There, a semi-transparent cauldron slowly rotated.

"Supreme Alchemy Scripture, seize the creation of heaven and earth, refine the supreme essence! The cultivator must disperse their Dantian's power, break and then establish, to practice the Supreme Alchemy Scripture." A deep voice resonated from within the cauldron. Following that, a complex and lengthy stream of information flowed into Tang Yan's mind.

After a while, Tang Yan finally digested the information, his heart in turmoil.

In his previous life, even with his mastery of the Alchemy Path, he still needed a cauldron to refine pills. However, according to the "Supreme Alchemy Scripture" from the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, once cultivated to a certain level, one could transform their body into a cauldron to refine pills, with even better results!

"Amazing!" Tang Yan praised in his heart.

As he had speculated upon awakening, the ultimate secret of the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron was to refine the cauldron's soul, with the ultimate goal of cultivation being the unity of man and cauldron.

In his previous life, he never grasped the correct method to use the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron. In this life, his fate coincidentally aligned with the cultivation of the Supreme Alchemy Scripture. It was truly destiny.

Tang Yan began his cultivation, gradually entering a meditative state with each breath. With his previous life's monstrous experience and the good foundation of this body, soon, a warm aura began to gather in his lower abdomen.

...

"Master, the young master didn't leave the house today but went to the library." That night, in Tang Old Master's study, the head butler Uncle Mo reported quietly.

"What?" Tang Old Master raised an eyebrow, quickly asking, "He stayed in the library all day?"

"Indeed."

Hearing Uncle Mo's confirmation, Tang Old Master couldn't help but show a strange expression. After a while, he said, "That kid used to fall asleep after reading just one page. Now he stays in the library all day? Does he even know how to read? Or does he just sleep better in the library? Bring me the books he read today!"

Uncle Mo chuckled, opened a prepared box, and handed it over. "The young master read quite a few books today!"

"Compendium of Medicinal Herbs, Detailed Explanation of Herbal Materials, Detailed Geography of the Continent, Two Thousand Years of Tingxiang Kingdom History..." Seeing these books, Tang Old Master's expression grew even more peculiar. "Has that kid really changed?"

Hearing Tang Old Master's words, Uncle Mo congratulated him, "From the young master's birth until now, he hasn't read as many books as he did today. Perhaps he really has changed."

"Bullshit, that kid has hidden plenty of erotic picture books and scandalous stories under his bed, and he's read quite a few! " Tang Old Master snorted angrily, continuing, "However, reading these books doesn't match that little rascal's character. Let's observe for a few more days!"
