Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 183

These words shocked not only the woman in the green palace dress, but also the quiet woman in blue standing beside her.

"Is this Ye Chen really that powerful? He can actually control such a massive force as the Pill Tower all by himself?"

Hua Yue's expression was solemn as she said in a deep voice, "Yes. During Ye Chen's succession ceremony, he successfully refined a ninth-grade precious pill in front of everyone, and he also personally defeated the Soul Hall's deputy hall master's clone, demonstrating combat power at the Dou Sheng level..."

These are all things I witnessed with my own eyes!

Among the many forces that attended the ceremony at the Pill Tower was the Flower Sect, and the Flower Sect's Grand Elder and Hua Jin, who was acting sect leader at the time, were both present.

"Refining a ninth-grade precious pill, with the combat power of a Battle Saint?" The two women in green palace dresses couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Is it really because we've been closed off for too long that young people these days are so terrifying?

"In addition, after taking office, President Ye Chen immediately announced to the entire Central Continent that the Pill Tower would recruit strong individuals as its offering group, and only those with combat power at the peak of the Dou Zun level would be qualified to join."

Moreover, it's rumored that if you're a half-saint level expert, you'll also have one free opportunity to refine a grade nine pill every year..."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the green palace dress raised an eyebrow.

"Is this true?"

"This is news personally delivered by the Pill Tower, so it shouldn't be false..." Hua Yue pondered for a moment before replying.

"It seems this new president of the Danta has quite the ambition..." The woman in the green palace dress narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her mind racing.

"By the way, you said that the burly, dark-skinned man who came to help Yunyun earlier came with a young girl named Ye Xinyue?"

Hua Yue paused for a moment, then said, "It should be..."

"Is that little girl Ye Chen's younger sister?"

"This... is correct. Could it be that you, Elder, suspect... that burly man is one of President Ye Chen's subordinates?"

"Ha! Almost certainly..." the woman in the green palace dress sneered.

"Moreover, it's not impossible that the other party was specifically sent by President Ye Chen..."

From Hua Yue's account, the woman in the green palace dress saw the ambition of the new president of the Dan Tower. Such a person might have ulterior motives in every step he took, so she couldn't help but suspect that the other party had some other purpose in sending people to interfere in the internal struggle of the Flower Sect.

"It seems we should head to the Dan Tower to see this terrifying little guy..."

Chapter 429 The Trapped Ancestor

The Pill Tower, the alchemy platform.

On the high platform, Ye Chen sat cross-legged, with a huge silver medicine cauldron standing in front of him, its scorching heat constantly emanating from it.

Below the platform, Cao Ying and Dan Chen gazed silently at the sky, sensing the energy fluctuations that had begun to change dramatically.

Not far from the two women, a figure shrouded in black stood silently.

However, when the man in black's gaze swept over Ye Chen, his worry and anxiety were clearly visible.

"Hehe, Senior Xiankong, there's no need to rush. Although this Seven Treasures Soul Cleansing Pill is a ninth-grade pill, President Ye Chen has already refined it once before, so the success rate is guaranteed."

Cao Ying sensed the other person's anxiety, chuckled softly, and offered words of comfort.

"Hehe, in that case, thank you for your kind words, Miss Cao Ying." Raising her head, a frail voice that seemed completely out of place with her youthful appearance slowly rang out.

This man in black is no ordinary person; he is the Old Man of Trapped Void Mountain, also known as the Trapped Void Ancestor. He is an old monster who is a generation older than Xuan Kongzi and Yao Chen.

Rumor has it that this old monster possesses a very magical body-swapping technique, which allows him to replace his aged body with a younger and more promising one, similar to possession, but it can be done multiple times. That's why he's been able to live to this day and even break through to the level of a high-level demigod...

However, this body-swapping technique has a huge drawback: the young bodies he swaps with already contain remnants of the soul. Because it is equivalent to being possessed, these remnants of the soul are filled with resentment and malice, which can be said to be the most poisonous poison for the soul. So, over time, the soul of the Trapped Void Ancestor is filled with such impurities, which eventually prevents him from making any further progress in strength.

When Ye Chen refined the Seven Treasures Soul-Cleansing Pill, a ninth-grade precious pill capable of purifying the soul, in front of everyone during his succession ceremony, this ancestor had always wanted to obtain this pill.

Unfortunately, the ninth-grade precious pill is far too precious, and even if he gave up everything, he might not be able to obtain it.

Moreover, he might not be willing to pay such a high price, so he has been hesitant.

Just then, Ye Chen announced the recruitment of retainers, and even offered the opportunity to refine ninth-grade pills for free. Shortly after, the Trapped Void Ancestor arrived...

Although the medicinal materials needed to refine the Seven Treasures Soul Cleansing Pill were still not easy to collect, they were still a little easier than the finished pill. Moreover, the Trapped Void Ancestor had considerable resources, so he spent a month collecting the medicinal materials and then approached Ye Chen.

To be honest, Ye Chen was naturally very happy to have a high-level semi-saint personally come to his door, so he didn't hesitate and immediately began refining pills for him...

This can be considered a case of spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones. Through this Old Ancestor of Trapped Void, he is also sending a signal to outsiders that he absolutely keeps his word; if he promises a free alchemy opportunity every year, he will definitely not break his promise!

When the two Grand Elders of the Flower Sect appeared in Saint Pill City, they suddenly noticed that the sky over Saint Pill City had darkened...

"That's... Dan Lei?!" The woman in the green palace dress changed her expression and looked at the pitch-black clouds in the distance, her expression somewhat solemn.

"Black Dan Lei, could it be a ninth-grade pill?" Beside her, the woman in green robes who had been calm all along couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although the two were quite knowledgeable, they had only heard of the emergence of a ninth-grade elixir but had never seen it before, so when they first saw the black demon lightning, they were still somewhat hesitant to confirm it.

Taking a deep breath, the woman in the green palace dress said in a deep voice, "Let's go and see this Danta."

Just how formidable is the new president...?

Transforming into a thunder giant, Ye Chen withstood the Black Demon Lightning this time solely with his Thunder God Body and Heavenly Dragon Armor.

The reason for this is that his battle qi cultivation has broken through again, reaching the level of an eight-star Dou Zun.

Ye Chen's eight-star Dou Zun level, if converted to an ordinary person, would even be comparable to a first-stage Dou Zun. After activating the Thunder God Body, his aura would surge to the level of a fifth-stage Dou Zun.

Seeing this scene, both the Elder of Trapped Void who was nearby and the others who stayed in Saint Pill City were filled with emotion.

The growth rate of this new president of Danta is truly astonishing!

"I have successfully completed my mission; the Seven Treasures Soul-Cleansing Pill has been successfully refined!"

Ye Chen smiled and handed the pill to Ancestor Xiankong.

With slightly trembling hands, Ancestor Xiankong accepted the pills from Ye Chen and gently opened the spirit wood box. Inside, a small, emerald-green snake was coiled up. Upon seeing the box open, it even slowly raised its head and looked at Ancestor Xiankong with its lively eyes…

"As expected of a Grade Nine Precious Pill!" Ancestor Xiankong's eyes reddened slightly. He then carefully closed the box and said to Ye Chen, "Thank you, President Ye! I will keep my promise. From now on, I will be a member of the Pill Tower's patronage group and will be at your service!"

"Hehe, Senior Xiankong, you flatter me. I would be more than happy to receive your help!" Ye Chen said modestly.

"Huh?" Just as Ye Chen was about to speak again, he suddenly sensed two unfamiliar auras. He frowned, then smiled and said, "Then, senior, I'll take my leave first..."

"President Ye, please go ahead!" Ancestor Xiankong was also eager to try the effects of this ninth-grade pill, and immediately said.

After bidding farewell to Ancestor Xiankong, Ye Chen left with Cao Ying and the other two women. However, instead of returning to the Pill Tower, they went to the sky outside Saint Pill City...

There, two women stood against the wind, their extremely powerful auras subtly spreading out.

"A mid-level half-saint, a high-level half-saint... it seems that Central Continent is indeed full of hidden talents." Ye Chen thought to himself, but directly cupped his hands in greeting.

"May I ask the two seniors who are..."

Upon seeing the other party's demeanor, the woman in the green palace dress smiled calmly and said softly, "My sisters and I are from the Flower Sect..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and immediately guessed the identities of the two.

"May I ask if you are the two senior disciples, Qinghua Fairy and her companion, from the Flower Sect?"

"So you really know us? Did that old fellow Xuan Kongzi tell you?" Qing Xianzi, dressed in a green palace dress, said with an air of certainty.

"Hehe, as the president of the Pill Tower, I naturally know a thing or two about some of the seniors in the Central Continent..."

"It is truly an honor for Fairy Qinghua to grace Saint Pill City with her presence. Please, seniors, come inside the tower for a chat."

Qingxianzi nodded and immediately followed in Ye Chen's footsteps.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were standing nearby, remained silent. At this moment, their status and strength were not enough to stand on equal footing with such a powerful figure, so Ye Chen could handle everything.

However, both women were very curious as to why most powerful women looked so young and charming, while the men mostly looked like decrepit old men...

The Fairy Tree Romance

The previous three giants, Xuan Yi and Xuan Kongzi, were like this, and now this Qinghua Fairy is the same!

Chapter 430 Intimidation or Prophecy?

At the same time that Fairy Qinghua went to Saint Pill City, there was an unnamed mountain outside the Flower Sect.

On the mountain peak, a figure dressed in a dark gray robe stood in mid-air.

This person had long gray hair and a face without wrinkles, which was unusually fair. If it weren't for the blue light in his eyes, which exuded an aura of old age, no one would have thought he was an old demon who had lived for hundreds of years.

Behind the gray-robed man were Liu Cang, the vice sect leader of the Heavenly Nether Sect, and a group of powerful figures from the Heavenly Nether Sect, including the Crimson Flame Evil Lord.

With a high-level half-saint leading two nine-star Dou Zong, three eight-star Dou Zun, and a group of six-star and below Dou Zun, it can be said that the Tianming Sect has come out in full force!

"Has there been any news yet?" In the silence, the old man in the gray robe suddenly spoke, startling Liu Cang, who was standing by.

"Ancestor, I have already sent a message to Hua Jin. She should be here soon..."

The man in the gray robe remained silent, and the room fell silent once more.

Just then, as Liu Cang felt the pressure around him increasing, a colorful streak of light rapidly approached from afar.

Upon seeing this, Liu Cang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to bring the person over.

Upon approaching, Hua Jin was about to say something to Liu Cang, but after seeing the gray-robed man standing quietly not far away, Tong Kong immediately shrank back...

"Junior Hua Jin pays respects to Ancestor Tianming!"

Startled, Hua Jin immediately performed a deep bow, showing no dignity befitting a sect leader.

The gray-robed man's expression remained unchanged, and his calm voice rang out: "Get up. Tell me, what is the current strength of the Flower Sect?"

Hua Jin took a deep breath to calm himself down and introduced, "As far as I know, after Vice Sect Master Liu left the Flower Sect, that old thing Hua Yue went deep into the Flower Sect, probably to invite our two reclusive Supreme Elders..."

"After that, although Hua Yue didn't say it, I knew that those two old geezers had left the Hua Sect a day ago. I don't know what they went there to do."

"Oh? So those two vixens from Qinghua have left the Flower Sect..." The old demon Tianming's gaze darkened slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Besides those two, how many combatants above the Seven-Star Dou Zun level does the Flower Sect currently have?"

Hua Jin, who had served as the acting sect leader of the Flower Sect for many years, didn't think much of it and said directly, "Our Flower Sect currently has two Supreme Elders who are Nine-Star Dou Zun, and only one Seven-Star Dou Zun, the Grand Elder. We don't have any Eight-Star Dou Zun..."

The Flower Sect has many powerful elders, but in the last hundred years, no disciples with exceptional talent have emerged, resulting in a shortage of successors.

Liu Cang's eyes darted around, and he immediately asked, "What is Yun Yun's current strength after obtaining all of your master's battle qi?"

Upon hearing Yun Yun's name, Hua Jin's eyes immediately revealed undisguised disgust. She said hatefully, "That bitch is only a two-star Dou Zun now. My master, that old bastard, set a seal when he transferred the Dou Qi to her, so that bitch can't fully control it!"

"Hehe, the Flower Sect was once even more powerful than my Heavenly Nether Sect. I never imagined that after a hundred years, it would have fallen to such a state!" Old Demon Heavenly Nether said with a sigh.

"Let's go. Since the Flower Sect has weakened so much, it has no reason to exist anymore..."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of dark figures rushed out of the mountain and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

……

……

Inside the Dan Tower, in the reception hall.

Qingxianzi didn't immediately question whether Ye Chen was plotting against the Flower Sect, because she knew very well that no matter what role this young man played in this matter, the Flower Sect couldn't possibly turn against him now, and even needed his strength...

Given this reality, questioning will only create discord between the two sides and will not help the difficulties that Hua Zong is currently facing.

“I’ve heard that there’s some unsavory business between the Heavenly Nether Sect and President Ye, and my Flower Sect is currently facing the Heavenly Nether Sect’s ambitions. I think our two sects can cooperate in this regard,” Fairy Qing said decisively.

Ye Chen smiled and said softly, "I wonder how Senior Qingxianzi intends to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. Let's join forces and wipe out the Heavenly Nether Sect!"

These words were full of murderous intent, and Ye Chen never expected that this beautiful, mature woman, Qing Xianzi, would be so bloodthirsty.

Point Guard Here

Ye Chen chuckled softly and said, "That's not entirely unacceptable. However, I have a better suggestion that you two seniors might consider..."

Both Qinghua Fairy and her companion frowned, looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Actually, we can... form an alliance."

"An alliance?" Qingxianzi's expression turned serious. She suddenly realized that she had underestimated this little guy's ambition.

With the current power of the Pill Tower, even the Soul Palace suffered a setback. It can be said that its prestige and influence in the Central State have reached their peak.

Even so, the president of the Danta still wanted to drag the Flower Sect onto the war chariot. What exactly did he want to do?

Are we going to destroy the Soul Palace?

Don't be ridiculous! The Soul Palace has existed for over a thousand years, its history is no shorter than that of the Pill Tower, and it even has an even more terrifying existence supporting it. How could such a force possibly be destroyed!

"Could you elaborate?" Qingxianzi took a deep breath and finally spoke.
