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

Page 233

Of course, being able to fight a six-star Dou Sheng doesn't mean that Cai Die now possesses the combat power of a six-star Dou Sheng; the gap of one star is still quite large.

Even so, the current Rainbow Butterfly can be said to be invincible below six stars, which is enough!

only……

"Will there be any problems?" Ye Chen gently tapped the snake pattern on Cai Dieyu's arm with his finger and asked with some concern.

"These ancestors, though possessing remnants of their souls, are not complete souls. In a sense, they are driven by me..."

At this point, Cai Die's expression darkened slightly.

Ye Chen gently patted the other's hand, comforting her, "It's alright. I'll see if I can repair these souls later and bring them back to life..."

For Ye Chen now, as long as there is a soul, resurrecting a person is not a difficult task.

Ultimately, the most important thing is whether there is a suitable bloodline and body...

In the following period, Ye Chen also gained a full understanding of Cai Die's combat power after her breakthrough, and then the two settled down in Saint Pill City.

Of course, this leisurely time wouldn't last long for Ye Chen, because another major plot point from his memories was about to begin...

Pharmacopoeia of the Medicine Clan!

The pharmacopoeia is the most important document in the field of medicine.

The timing of the event is not entirely fixed and may change due to various circumstances.

This was originally just something the Medicine Clan kept to themselves, since the Medicine Clan was so arrogant that they looked down on other alchemists on the continent...

However, since the establishment and rise of the Pill Tower, the profession of alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent has become increasingly prosperous, and powerful alchemists have emerged one after another, many of whom are no less than the chosen ones from the Medicine Clan.

However, the Medicine Clan began to gradually decline during this process...

In this process, the rules of the pharmacopoeia changed at some point...

In general, this pharmacopoeia is somewhat similar to the Pill Tower's Pill Gathering, and to some extent, it is a grand gathering of the continent's truly top-tier alchemists.

If one can win the championship in this competition, one will gain the title of the number one alchemist on the continent!

Yes, that's a very prestigious title, much stronger than the champion of the Dan Tournament, the number one in Zhongzhou.

However, although many people are unwilling to admit it, the Medicine Clan is indeed professional in alchemy, and this title rarely falls into the hands of outsiders; it is almost monopolized by the Medicine Clan.

Although the Pill Tower had received invitations before, it usually just went to participate as a side project. Although it had no shortage of ninth-grade alchemists, the Pill Tower had no intention of joining in to be a mere supporting role for others.

As for why the Pill Tower has failed to produce a truly top alchemist on the continent, the Soul Hall deserves considerable credit for this...

“The Soul Clan, the Medicine Clan…” A strange look flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

This marks the first time the Soul Clan has publicly attacked an ancient race, demonstrating their immense power, as seen in the original story...

If I were to get involved this time, would I also find myself in danger...?

Chapter 513 The Secret of Devouring Spirits

Ye Chen was very hesitant about whether or not to participate in this Medicine Clan Pharmacopoeia.

Although Ye Chen has done a lot over the years, overall, it hasn't had much impact on the Soul Clan's plans.

Firstly, his strength was too weak and his background insufficient, making it difficult for him to do anything to influence the Soul Clan's plans; secondly, and most importantly, Ye Chen was rather timid...

Throughout his journey, Ye Chen's every plan was based on ensuring that he would not fall into crisis!

Even if I had eyes that could see the future, nothing was more important than saving my life... No matter if you're a transmigrator or a protagonist with cheat codes, death would be the end of it all!

Just as Ye Chen was struggling with his decision, an unexpected person came to his door...

"Senior Su, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is something wrong?"

In the reception room on the upper floor of the Dan Tower, Ye Chen met Su Lingyin, who had come with Dan Chen, with a completely bewildered expression.

As Dan Chen's mother, and Dan Chen becoming one of the presidents of the Dan Tower, although everyone knew that this president position was more of a figurehead, bringing her relatives into the Dan Tower was still an easy task for Dan Chen.

Ye Chen was just curious about why Su Lingyin had always wanted to keep her and Dan Chen's identities hidden from the outside world.

Why did I risk coming to the Dan Tower today?

"How did you obtain that black bead that Chen'er gave me before? Was it from the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Flame of the Soul Palace Master?"

Ye Chen understood slightly; so that's why...

After the Pure Lotus Demon Flame devoured the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Flame, it gave Ye Chen a strange black bead. Ye Chen guessed that it was likely a more refined power of the Devouring Spirit Royal Bloodline, so he later had Dan Chen give it to her mother, who is the one in front of him.

It seems this bead has brought considerable benefits to Su Lingyin, as she rushed here directly from the Sound Valley in such a hurry...

“That’s right. That black bead was the one that was extracted from the Void Devouring Flame. You should have seen what happened back then.”

Although the Soul Clan's scheming caused the bloody battle Ye Chen envisioned to end hastily, Su Lingyin wasn't entirely without merit. At the very least, she helped him stretch his muscles during the destruction of the Heaven and Earth Palaces. Ye Chen even knew that she had secretly devoured many powerful members of the Soul Palace...

However, these are of little help to Su Lingyin now; they can only serve as a small snack and are not enough to help her break through her current realm.

Judging from the mysterious aura surrounding Su Lingyin, it was clear that her bloodline had undergone some unknown change, and all of this must be due to the black bead.

"I hope that if there is an opportunity in the future, you can help me obtain more of the Devouring Spirit Clan's bloodline power..." Su Lingyin said solemnly, without any beating around the bush.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, his heart filled with joy, but his face showed a troubled expression. Finally, he said helplessly, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but as you know, that thing was extracted from the Void Devouring Flame. If you want to get more, you have to confront the Void Devouring Flame..."

"Although I don't know the exact strength of this Void Devouring Flame, judging from the strength of that sub-flame, its true strength is probably greater than that of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng."

"Not to mention that he also has the Soul Clan, one of the two most powerful ancient races in the world, as his backer..."

After saying all that, Ye Chen's message can be summed up in one sentence: This is going to be very difficult!

Su Lingyin knew it would be difficult, but it concerned her future path to enlightenment. No matter how difficult it was, she had to do it. Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry to find Ye Chen?

The reason she chose to ask Ye Chen for help was because she saw the boy's extraordinary growth. In less than thirty years, he had grown to his current level, and she had not yet seen his limit. This made Su Lingyin believe that the height he could reach in the future would definitely not be lower than those supreme-level powerhouses...

And perhaps this period of time won't be too long.

Based on this, after careful consideration, Su Lingyin still came here.

Staring intently at the troubled-looking young man opposite her, Su Lingyin let out a long breath and said, "Everyone knows that the Devouring Spirit Clan can devour everything and turn it into energy for their own use, but in fact, the Devouring Spirit bloodline has another crucial ability, which is only passed down orally among the races..."

"What?" Ye Chen was surprised for a moment, then asked casually.

"Everyone knows that the Devouring Spirit Clan can devour everything, but because these devoured things are transformed into their most primal form within the Devouring Spirit Clan's body, if the Devouring Spirit Clan wishes, they can even feed these primal substances back to the outside world..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief: "You can do that?!"

Returning to one's roots and giving back to the outside world?

This ability is absolutely incredible!

If anyone still doesn't understand the power of this ability, just think about how the Soul Palace spent countless years capturing souls and extracting their essence, and you'll understand...

The importance of fundamental substances to humans!

Unfortunately, everyone knows the vital importance of primordial substances to humans, but truly obtaining these things is extremely difficult, even impossible.

After all, this world is ultimately a material world; everything exists in a material form, including battle qi and other energy...

Because of the unique talent of the Soul Clan, the Soul Palace has the means to extract the essence of souls. However, this means is not easy, and the manpower, resources and time required are a big problem.

Even so, the Soul Clan still expended great effort to cultivate the Soul Palace, such an evil force, in the Central Continent, with the aim of obtaining more soul essence...

It could even be said that this is what propelled the development of the Battle Through the Heavens storyline.

The Devouring Spirit Clan is different. Their bloodline grants them the ability to directly devour all things, and they can return to their origin in a very short time, ultimately absorbing the essence and growing stronger...

This is also the main reason why they have been able to grow rapidly and fight against the entire peak Dou Qi Continent for countless years!

"I can help you quickly improve your strength, including your soul power, but you must help me obtain the complete bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan royal family!" Su Lingyin said through gritted teeth, her pretty face icy cold.

Clearly, one of the reasons that led her to make such a decision was the discovery that the Devouring Spirit Bloodline contained within the Void Devouring Flame was the royal bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan, or perhaps the most important reason!

"Mother, you..."

Beside her, Dan Chen, looking completely bewildered, didn't know what to say.

I have this strange feeling that I'm trying to steal my mother's man...

What a mess!

The naive Dan Chen suddenly felt like her head was a complete mess...

Chapter 514 Preparations Before the Adventure

To be honest, Ye Chen was really tempted by Su Lingyin's offer.

Although he was confident that he could become a Dou Di, there was a question of time involved. Until he reached the true peak of power, he would not be qualified to stand on the stage alongside Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan.

Not to mention that the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave also has an old dragon emperor who could be called a father-in-law...

Faced with the temptation of advancing to Dou Di, Ye Chen didn't believe that the old Dragon Emperor would care about the unofficial relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.

If that's true, then why was he trapped in the ancient emperor's cave for a thousand years by the design of the ancient emperor Tuoshe?

"What is your current strength level?" Ye Chen pondered for a moment and asked Su Lingyin.

"Peak of the Five-Star Dou Sheng..." Su Lingyin did not hide it.

Ye Chen: "...!"

Damn, is the Devouring Spirit Royal Bloodline really that monstrous? It directly caused a peak three-star Dou Sheng to fall by two major realms!

But this is actually understandable...

Looking at Cai Die's several leaps in strength, and Ye Chen's own breakthrough relying on the essence of the Demon Saint, it all demonstrates how powerful the bloodlines of these ancient supreme powerhouses are.

Moreover, Su Lingyin herself is an awakened member of the Devouring Spirit Clan bloodline, which doubles the effect!

"How about this, you prepare for a while, and then you'll come with me to participate in the Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia..." After pondering for a while, Ye Chen finally decided to take the risk.

"Pharmacopoeia? What does that have to do with what we're talking about?" Su Lingyin was a little confused by Ye Chen's sudden change of topic.

However, after only a moment's thought, she seemed to understand something, and her expression changed drastically...

"Could it be..."

Ye Chen gently shook his head, stopping her from continuing.

There are many things that shouldn't be revealed yet, otherwise how can I benefit from them...?

Of course, Su Lingyin had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking, nor did she expect the Soul Clan to be so aggressive towards the Medicine Clan. She simply felt that Ye Chen must know some secret information, such as the possibility that the Medicine Compendium might produce another Void Devouring Flame Sub-Fire, or even that the true form might appear directly.

After all, no one would have expected the Soul Clan to be so rampant and so terrifyingly powerful, actually launching a direct attack on the Medicine Clan when countless powerful figures had gathered there...

"Isn't this too dangerous? Besides, the pharmacopoeia should be held within the Medicine Clan's territory, right? If we make a move then, we might attract attacks from the Medicine Clan's powerful members..." Su Lingyin said with some worry.

Because she also possessed the bloodline left over from ancient times, Su Lingyin had an inexplicable sense of awe for the power of these ancient races, which also made her very wary of them!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen knew that what this person was thinking was completely different from what he was saying, but he wouldn't bother to explain.

"Don't worry, I have everything planned out. You just need to act according to the circumstances," Ye Chen said ambiguously.

Helpless, Su Lingyin could only leave, completely bewildered.

However, as he was leaving, Ye Chen saw that Dan Chen looked conflicted, as if she wanted to say something to him but couldn't, and was forcibly pulled away by her mother.

This puzzled Ye Chen. What was wrong with this girl? She seemed unhappy.

She must be worried about his and her mother's safety, right?

Thinking of all this, Ye Chen smiled warmly and decided to comfort the other person properly.

However, his decision this time was indeed somewhat risky. With his current strength, plus Su Lingyin, there weren't many ways to break the deadlock against the Soul Clan's all-out attack. So, to be on the safe side, Ye Chen decided to find another layer of protection for himself...

The void, Ancient Dragon Island.

Since the Four Dragon Islands were granted permission, the power of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan has been recovering at an extremely rapid pace. This, of course, does not refer to the rise of new powerful figures…

For the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, the process from birth to adulthood is extremely long, so it is unrealistic to expect to quickly cultivate a large number of powerful individuals.

However, if cultivating new powerhouses isn't an option, then we can bring out the older generation of powerhouses...

The reason why the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan declined so quickly after the disappearance of the Old Dragon Emperor was largely due to the exodus of a large number of older generation powerhouses.

Like Elder Zhu, who came with Zi Yan to help Ye Chen, most of these powerful figures who followed the old Dragon Emperor back then left Dragon Island. Some went out to find their own emperor, while others simply hid in some place in the void to cultivate...

It was precisely because the older generation of powerful figures had all passed away that such people as the three Dragon Kings developed unwarranted ambitions, ultimately leading to the division of Dragon Island and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Now that Zi Yan, a member of the legitimate royal bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, has returned to Dragon Island and unified the Dragon Clan, as long as she issues the Dragon Emperor's Decree, those who have gone out into seclusion or are searching for the old Dragon Emperor will return without hesitation as long as they can sense the call of the Dragon Emperor's Decree...

As a result, the strength of Ancient Dragon Island will definitely grow stronger with the return of these old dragons!
