Chapter 385: Divine Medicine Nerve!

Golden Light enveloped the entire Taoyuan Village, and the surging vitality emitted by the Divine Medicine Cauldron continuously nourished this realm.

Jiang Feng stood silently within the Golden Light, a swirl of aura encircling him, his link with the Divine Medicine Cauldron growing ever tighter.

After the black dragon's phantom entered the cauldron, the cauldron's vibration gradually eased.

The Golden Light still remained dazzling, but it was no longer as blinding as before; instead it became increasingly warm and gentle.

Time passed bit by bit, about half an hour later, the Golden Light emitted by the Divine Medicine Cauldron began to slowly contract, shrinking from the scope that had enveloped the entire Taoyuan Village to only cover the area around Yao Lu.

The Golden Light Pillar bathing Jiang Feng also gradually faded, eventually turning into specks of golden spark that merged into Jiang Feng's body.

Huh…

Jiang Feng gently exhaled a breath of foul Qi, his form slowly descending from midair, his feet landing steadily on the ground.

His complexion was rosy, and his eyes were clear.

A faint golden aura lingered around him, and his entire demeanor underwent a subtle change.

Not only had he just activated the Divine Medicine Cauldron to restore its divinity, but the cauldron also helped him heal the injuries within his body.

And almost at the moment Jiang Feng touched the ground, the Divine Medicine Cauldron suspended in midair also began to change.

The Golden Light completely faded, and the massive bronze cauldron once again reverted to the shape of Yao Lu, gently settling back into its original spot.

It appeared identical to before, as if the earth‑shaking transformation moments ago had never occurred.

But everyone present knew that everything had already changed.

Jiang Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the assembled crowd.

He discovered that everyone in Taoyuan Village, at this moment, looked at him with an extremely reverent gaze, their eyes filled with awe.

Yao Lao's face bore a satisfied smile as he slowly approached the disheartened old Village Chief.

"Zuo Laogui, do you have anything else to say? With Jiang Feng becoming Yao Lu's successor, do you have any objections?"

The old Village Chief's weathered face showed a trace of bitter smile.

He shook his head, his hoarse voice saying.

"I have no objections; Jiang Feng, little friend, truly is the most suitable candidate."

He knew clearly in his heart that he no longer had any reason to oppose.

Jiang Feng not only displayed medical Dao attainment far surpassing that of Taoyuan Village's younger generation, but also caused the long‑dormant Divine Medicine Cauldron to begin regaining its divinity.

Just this alone was enough to make the Five Great Elders completely abandon standing on his side.

Although he was the Village Chief of Taoyuan Village and a strong one of the Wu Zun Realm, the power Yao Lao just unleashed was enough to easily suppress him.

The Zuo Family's ambition to seize control of the Divine Medicine Cauldron's inheritance had been doomed to fail from the moment Jiang Feng appeared.

At this thought, the old Village Chief couldn't help but look up at Yao Lao, his eyes filled with complex expression.

So this elder who had lived for an unknown number of years finally waited for his era, waited for someone who could truly inherit the Divine Medicine Cauldron.

He raspily opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and still asked.

"You had foreseen all this long ago, hadn't you?"

"These years, on the surface the Zuo Family has been the sole dominant, you have ignored worldly affairs, focusing on managing Yao Lu. Yet now, looking back, the Zuo Family's dominance may have been a result of your tacit consent…"

"Otherwise, given your strength that could suppress me, if you truly intervened, the Zuo Family could never have progressed to this stage, nor could they continuously hold sway over Taoyuan Village's authority."

The old Village Chief's words left everyone present stunned.

They had previously thought that Yao Lao had been too low‑key these years, allowing the Zuo Family to dominate alone; now hearing the old Village Chief speak, they suddenly realized.

It turned out Yao Lao had been waiting for a suitable successor to appear.

The Zuo Family's existence might have been merely a compromise Yao Lao made to maintain Taoyuan Village's stability.

Yao Lao looked at the old Village Chief, his smile gradually fading.

Finally he sighed, his tone carrying a hint of complexity.

"You… after all are a remnant of the Wang Sect lineage, with the thin bloodline of the ancient Divine Medicine Temple flowing in you. If you truly can lead the Divine Medicine Temple's revival, restoring the Divine Medicine Cauldron's divinity, I, the old, would naturally be pleased to see it, and would also fully support you."

"But Jiang Feng, he is destined to be more suitable than any of you. He seems born to inherit the Divine Medicine Cauldron."

The old Village Chief fell silent, as if his spirit had been drained.

His body seemed to age rapidly, his face covered with desolation.

He weakly waved his hand, the sparkle in his eyes having completely vanished.

"From today onward, I, the old, step down from the position of Village Chief."

The old Village Chief's voice echoed throughout the scene, carrying a hint of relief.

"From now on, all matters big and small of Taoyuan Village shall be entrusted to you all."

He looked up at Jiang Feng, his eyes still full of complexity.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, the Divine Medicine Cauldron is the foundation of the Divine Medicine Temple. I hope you truly can lead the temple's revival, restoring the ancient brilliance; I, the old, am here, I beg you!"

After speaking, the old Village Chief bowed deeply to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng tried to hold him, but Yao Lao stopped him.

The Village Chief lifted his head, turned away, no longer looking at anyone, hunched, stepping slowly toward the distance.

His silhouette appeared especially lonely, as if he had instantly aged by a dozen years.

The Five Great Elders exchanged glances, then each stepped forward before Jiang Feng, bowing their hands in salute.

"We, the Five Great Elders, present ourselves before Mr. Jiang! From now on, we shall spare no effort to assist you!"

The remaining people of Taoyuan Village all rose together, giving Jiang Feng a slight nod.

At this moment Jiang Feng had completely won over all of them.

Jiang Feng gave a slight nod to the crowd.

"Thank you all for your generosity. Since I have become Yao Lu's successor, I will do my utmost to let the Divine Medicine Temple regain its former glory."

Yao Lao looked at the scene before him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

He walked up to Jiang Feng, his gaze fixed on Jiang Feng, and asked with a solemn Tone.

"Jiang Feng, the Medicine God Cauldron has already given you Recognition, and the position of Yao Lu heir is already certain. Now, I ask you, are you ready?"

At this moment, Yao Lao became incredibly serious again.

Jiang Feng did not hesitate and gently nodded.

"Good!"

Yao Lao Laughter, then his eyes flashed with Golden Light.

In the next moment, a Jade Tablet suddenly appeared before Jiang Feng.

"Sss! Is this the Medicine Nerve?"

The Gong Family Elder was the first to recognize the origin of the Jade Tablet, and couldn't help inhaling a gasp of cold air.

The Medicine Nerve is the supreme scripture of the Medicine Temple.

Did you not expect Yao Lao to hand the Medicine Nerve to Jiang Feng right now?

Soon, the Jade Tablet fell into Jiang Feng's hand.

"Release your heart and mind..."

Yao Lao's voice sounded at Jiang Feng's ear, Jiang Feng nodded, and immediately released his heart and mind.

But in the next moment...

A terrifying force instantly swept Throughout Taoyuan Village.

"Laughter, Wang Sect Remnant, you truly are here!"

"Huh? The aura of the Medicine Nerve! Laughter, I have finally waited for it!"
