Once again, Ye Chen arrived at the small space that served as the true gateway to the Pill Realm, and there he saw the Fourth Elder sitting on the giant tortoise once more.
"Elder, we need to go to the Pill Realm..."
The Fourth Elder closed his eyes slightly and did not make a sound, but simply waved his hand at the three of them.
Upon seeing this, the three bowed again, then crossed the spatial passage and disappeared from the spot.
After the three left, the Fourth Elder, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them, a smile in his eyes, and said in a barely audible voice, "Youth is truly wonderful. I didn't expect this lad to be so popular with young ladies..."
Of course, as an old bachelor who had devoted hundreds of years to alchemy, the Fourth Elder had no feelings for romantic love.
However, the strange aura he had just sensed from the young girl from the Dan family had made him suspicious.
"This girl, is she the great-granddaughter of Old Master Dan? Another alchemy genius! But what was that special aura just now? Why did it make my heart pound..."
This was quite unexpected.
It should be noted that even Ye Chen, who is already a three-star Dou Zun, could not possibly make a half-saint like the Fourth Elder feel any sense of crisis.
But that young girl from the Dan family was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Dou Huang. Although she already possessed a Spirit Realm soul at such a young age and with such strength, she could indeed be called a "prodigy," but compared to someone like the Fourth Elder, she was truly like a firefly compared to the bright moon...
After thinking about it for a long time without being able to figure it out, the Fourth Elder finally gave up. In any case, the other party was also a member of the Pill Tower. The more monstrous her talent was, the better it would be for the Pill Tower.
After entering the Pill Realm, Ye Chen and his two companions found themselves in a vast expanse of yellow sand.
This is completely different from the scene when Ye Chen first entered. It seems that the location that the portal can teleport to is also random...
Of course, this randomness is largely based on various "safe zones," otherwise, being directly teleported to the territory of a seventh-tier magical beast would be tantamount to suicide...
"Where are you planning to go next?" Cao Ying asked, glancing around at her surroundings.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen conjured a very detailed map of the Pill Realm, which he then handed over to Cao Ying amidst her smiling gaze…
"This records the possible locations of 70% of the high-grade medicinal herbs in the alchemy world. Although I don't know what you're looking for, it should be helpful to you."
Cao Ying raised her beautiful eyebrows and smiled with a charming smile, asking, "You gave me the map, so what are you going to do now? Didn't you say you were going to help Dan Chen find the medicinal herbs to refine the Hunyuan Body Shaping Pill?"
"Oh, this? Actually, I already noted down where those two medicinal herbs grow when I came last time, so I can find them without a map. You can use this map. After all, one can't stay in the Pill Realm for too long..."

Chapter 340 Everyone Who Sees It Has a Share
Ye Chen's words were flawless, but Cao Ying's woman's intuition told her that this guy seemed to be fooling her.
"Forget it, I'll stay with you. After all, the Pill Realm is quite dangerous, and I'm just a weak girl; I need your protection, a Dou Zun..."
weak?
Ye Chen glanced at the woman speechlessly.
Looking at you, you don't seem to fit the word "delicate" at all, do you?
However, it would indeed be unsafe to let a one-star Dou Zong wander around the Pill Realm, so Ye Chen did not refuse the request to accompany her.
"In that case, let's go together..."
Ye Chen nodded.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a gigantic python, several dozen feet long, shot out from the seemingly sand dune-like ground beneath their feet. Its ferocious snout opened wide and lunged to bite at Cao Ying, who was standing nearby.
The attack was swift and sudden; clearly, the giant python had been waiting for its prey to come to it for a long time...
However, apart from Dan Chen, who was relatively inexperienced, Ye Chen and Cao Ying were not surprised at all.
call out!
A streak of blood-red light flew from her slender, jade-like fingers and pierced directly through the giant python's head.
"A sixth-order yellow sand python. It seems that the Pill Realm is indeed fraught with danger..." Cao Ying withdrew her finger, glanced at the giant python's corpse that had fallen to the dust, and said casually.
Watching this scene, Dan Chen bit her lip slightly, feeling that she had been outshone by the other person again...
The red streak of light just now was clearly a crimson flame, which should be the Blood Demon Flame that Cao Ying controls. Its ability to instantly kill a sixth-tier Yellow Sand Python is obviously due to the immense power of this Blood Demon Flame.
"In the world of alchemy, where there are magical beasts, there must be spiritual herbs..." Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
"It's just a sixth-tier magical beast, what kind of high-grade medicinal herbs could it possibly guard..."
Even so, Cao Ying still raised her hand and slapped the sand dune below.
The sand dune was broken open, and a deep yellow root, as big as a child's head, appeared in the three people's sight.
"Rehmannia glutinosa?"
"It's still a thousand-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa!"
This surprised Cao Ying, who hadn't paid much attention before.
The age of Rehmannia glutinosa can be determined by its size. A hundred-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa is only the size of a fist, and in the outside world it is just considered an ordinary medicinal material.
However, if it enters the millennium, its rarity increases dramatically.
More importantly, as members of a family of alchemists, Ye Chen and Cao Ying have cultivated in the Pill Tower for many years, so their understanding of these medicinal herbs is far superior to that of ordinary people from the outside world.
"Legend has it that Rehmannia glutinosa is born from the condensation of the pure and profound power of the earth. Its size will not increase after a hundred years. If someone breaks this rule, then there must be a rare treasure to nourish it!" Cao Ying's eyes gleamed as she stared intently at the sand below.
"Not bad, it seems you're very lucky this time, Ying'er, to encounter such an opportunity so soon after arriving."
Cao Ying killed the Yellow Sand Python, so according to the rules, the thousand-year-old Earth Yellow Essence and the things below belong to him.
Neither Ye Chen nor Dan Chen had any objections to this. Cao Ying didn't feign modesty; she simply reached out and put away the thousand-year-old earth essence, then continued digging into the sand below, preparing to see what lay beneath...
Five minutes later, the soft sand disappeared, and Cao Ying took out a piece of snow-white jade from the ground.
& nbs
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen suddenly realized: "So it's the Earth Core Jade Mother. No wonder it can nourish such a large piece of Earth Yellow Essence."
The Earth Core Jade Mother is also a magical jade formed by the power of the earth over countless years, and it has some similar origin to the Earth Yellow Essence.
However, compared to the ten-foot-square Earth Core Jade Mother that Ye Chen obtained, the piece in Cao Ying's hand was much thinner...
However, upon seeing this scene, Ye Chen suddenly realized something.
Isn't this what Xiao Yan obtained when he entered the Pill Realm during the Pill Gathering in the original novel? If I remember correctly, there is also Earth Core Soul Essence in this Earth Core Jade Mother!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen said directly to Cao Ying, "Let me see..."
Although she didn't know what Ye Chen wanted to do, Cao Ying still tossed the Earth Core Jade Mother in her hand over casually, saying, "This thing is useless to me. You can have it if you want..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Don't speak so confidently, or you'll regret it later..."
Cao Ying immediately glared at him, about to say: "I am a woman of my word, and I will not go back on my word."
But she saw Ye Chen directly conjure a purplish-brown fire blade with his left hand and slash it down at the Earth Core Jade Mother...
The fish fillet fell off, revealing a hole the size of a walnut in front of the three people.
Within the hole, wisps of pale white mist seeped out. The three of them took a deep breath, and instantly, an incomparably comfortable feeling spread from their very souls…
"This is...?!" Cao Ying's phoenix eyes were sharp, but her gaze was full of surprise.
"Hehe, Earth Core Soul Essence..." Ye Chen chuckled, but his hands continued to move.
Before long, a jade pit came into view. To be precise, what the three of them were focusing on at this moment was the white liquid less than half a finger deep inside the jade pit!
"It really is the Earth Core Soul Essence!" Cao Ying's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Chen turned his gaze away from the soul essence and looked at Cao Ying with a hint of mockery, saying, "So, do you regret it even a little bit now?"
Cao Ying's expression froze, and she glared at Ye Chen with her beautiful eyes, saying, "No way! I said I wouldn't go back on my word, and this thing is yours now!"
Ye Chen chuckled, but he had no intention of taking possession of the Earth Core Soul Essence.
After all, he still has some stockpiled items, and with his current peak Spirit Realm soul power, these items are of very limited help to him.
"Forget it, at my current level, this Earth Core Soul Essence is of little use to me. You can have it..."
Cao Ying frowned, looking somewhat displeased.
Using materials readily available, she crafted three identical jade bottles from the Earth Core Jade Mother, dividing the soul essence into three equal portions. She then took one portion for herself, saying, "According to the rules, whoever sees it gets a share! I'll take mine; the rest are yours to take or leave as you please, or you can throw them away—it's none of my business!"
Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly. It seemed this proud girl was truly angry...
Since that was the case, Ye Chen didn't refuse any longer and directly picked up the two jade bottles, handing one of them to Dan Chen...
"This is also Ying'er's kind intention, take it." Seeing the girl's hesitant look, Ye Chen smiled and persuaded her.

Chapter 341 Ye Chen's Purpose
Wanyao Mountain Range
As the largest mountain range in the Pill Realm, it contains countless spiritual herbs, and of course, countless powerful guardian magical beasts...
"Is the elixir you need on the mountaintop?" Cao Ying couldn't help but ask as they followed Ye Chen toward the highest peak of the mountain range.
Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, you'll see when we get there..."
"Tch..." (New Biquge)
Upon reaching the mountaintop, the two women were astonished by the enormous stone palace perched atop the peak and the two seventh-tier magical beasts guarding the entrance.
With a quick glance, Cao Ying instantly understood and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the lair of that mysterious magical beast in the Pill Realm that's rumored to be about to break through to the eighth rank?"
There are countless magical beasts within the Pill Realm, but there is only one true emperor, which is said to be close to breaking through to the eighth rank...
When someone from the Pill Tower enters the Pill Realm to collect herbs, people usually make a point of avoiding them; this practice is quite widespread within the Pill Tower.
"He's not about to break through; he actually broke through several years ago..."
Ye Chen said with a smile.
Then, it flashed into the sky and roared into the stone hall: "Old Bear, an old friend has come to visit, why don't you come out and greet him!"
His soul power had just clearly detected that Xiong Zhan, that idiot, was currently hiding in his lair, "hibernating"...
Startled awake by the long howl, Xiong Zhan flew into a rage, rushing out as he roared, "Which bastard dares to come here and cause trouble, dares to disturb my sleep? I'll kill you!"
Looking at the massive, clumsy guy charging out with a rumble, Ye Chen chuckled lightly and teased, "Oh? Old Xiong, are you talking about me?"
Looking up at the young man standing against the wind in the sky, Xiong Zhan's eyes widened immediately: "Damn it! Ye Chen, what are you doing here again?!"
"What, not welcome?" Ye Chen asked, raising an eyebrow with a smile.
"How could that be..." Thinking that he would need the other party's help to get out of this hellish place, Xiong Zhan immediately softened.
"Haha, what's our relationship? This palace of mine is your second home, Brother Ye. Come whenever you want!"
Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly. Looking at this shameless, big, and simple-minded man, he couldn't help but say, "That's perfect. Since you've said so, Brother Xiong, then I won't stand on ceremony. I happen to need quite a few medicinal herbs this time, and I saw they were all available at your medicinal herb market before..."
"What...?!" Xiong Zhan's eyes widened, and he instantly felt that the smile on the other person's face was somewhat "repulsive".
"Well, Brother Ye, actually..."
Seeing the two-meter-tall man acting awkwardly in front of him, Ye Chen almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I knew this guy looked generous, but he was actually incredibly stingy. Getting medicinal herbs from him was practically like scraping his flesh off...
"Alright, alright, I only need a few spiritual herbs as the main ingredients for refining medicine this time, I won't take too many!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chen was somewhat speechless and said, "Didn't you always want to get out? If that's the case, then why do you still care about these spiritual herbs? Do you expect to take some with you when you leave?"
This is the Pill Realm, the Pill Tower's largest treasure trove of medicinal herbs! Everything here belongs to the Pill Tower. Even if the Pill Tower were to allow Xiong Zhan to leave in the future, it would never allow him to take away a single blade of grass or tree...
"We still don't know when we'll be able to get out..." Xiong Zhan said casually.
Although he couldn't take them, he still had the right to freely enjoy these medicinal herbs before he left, which could be considered one of the benefits of being freed up in this alchemy world by the Pill Tower.
