Chapter 726: Chapter 726 - 337: Seeking Heart

Ron stared at the mirror-like surface of the star, his Spiritual Power cautiously probing its edges like a needle. Suddenly, the surface began to ripple, like a lake disturbed by a pebble. But this ripple was not regular; it resembled more the unstable operation of some ancient machinery. A chaotic and fragmented wave of consciousness transmitted over; it was not a complete thought, but countless memory fragments accumulated over the ages: Seeking. price. truth. blood and bone. Eternal longing. the curse of knowledge. Observation. record. witness. These fragments of consciousness surged at Ron's spirit like a tide, each piece carrying different emotions and memories. Some came from ancient observers, some from seekers devoured, and others from souls lost in the pursuit of truth. This so-called "Scholar Star" was actually a massive memory repository, collecting fragments of every consciousness that had contacted it over the millennia. And now, it was selectively pouring key parts of these fragments into Ron according to his own memory repository. The first clear image appeared. Ron found himself in a pristine laboratory. The walls around were made of pure white stones, and the air was filled with a faint herbal aroma. It looked more like a medical facility, rather than a terrifying laboratory. In the center of the room, a tall middle-aged man was carefully examining his right arm. He was Alexander King, the legendary figure known as the "Merciful Alchemist."
