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

Page 91

Ye Chen, who had been paying close attention to everything outside, was overjoyed when he saw this scene, and then released his aura even more unreservedly.

This sudden movement seemed to shatter some kind of balance, as numerous orbs of light shot directly towards Ye Chen...

Ye Chen glanced at the four orbs of light, two yellow and two purple. It seemed that even if no other orbs chose him afterward, he wouldn't have to leave empty-handed this time.

Of course, choices are always two-way, especially since Ye Chen only has three spots available.

If fewer than three orbs of light had appeared, that would have been fine, but since more orbs were clearly interested in him, he would have to make a careful choice.

As time passed, two more orbs of light flew to Ye Chen's side, joining the other four orbs to slowly shimmer around him...

However, judging from the energy intensity emitted by these six orbs of light, they should all be at the same level, which made Ye Chen a little troubled.

There was no way to determine what was inside until the energy layer surrounding the orb was broken. If it was what he needed, that would be fine, but if it wasn't, wouldn't that be a waste of this precious opportunity?

Just as Ye Chen was struggling with this problem, two more beams of starlight suddenly fell from the dense starlight in the sky...

When Ye Chen's soul swept over the two points of light, he was first stunned, then his expression turned to great joy.

"That is……?"

Looking at the ball of silver light, Ye Chen could clearly sense a strong spiritual fluctuation emanating from it. Clearly, what was inside this ball of light was likely related to the soul…

For an alchemist like Ye Chen, regardless of whether the ball of light contained a soul skill or a soul secret technique, anything related to the soul was more valuable than cultivation techniques or fighting skills.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly chose the silver light cluster...

"Soul Condensation Technique? It's actually a secret technique that allows one to cultivate their soul?!"

After both sides made their choices, Ye Chen directly obtained information about the items in the silver light. To his surprise, he actually obtained a scroll of soul cultivation secret techniques!

Ye Chen had originally intended to ask his teacher to teach him the method of soul cultivation, since if he wanted to continue to advance his soul to its current level, he would need the method of soul cultivation.

Now it seems that sending me to the third floor of this library was intentional on the teacher's part.

After obtaining the information about the Soul Condensation Technique, the silver energy ball that had been enveloping the item dissipated, revealing the ancient parchment scroll inside. Ye Chen touched it with his palm, and a faint, strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Hehe, this is indeed a good product!"

With a smile to his heart, Ye Chen did not hesitate to put the scroll into his Star Emblem Ring.

After obtaining the first item that satisfied him, Ye Chen's gaze swept across the room again, landing directly on the cyan light cluster that had descended at the same time as the Soul Condensation Technique...

This cyan light cluster clearly exhibits stronger energy fluctuations than the other light clusters, suggesting it's of a higher level. However, judging from the nature of its energy, it should only be a high-level cultivation technique or combat skill.

Seeing that time was running out and no other orbs of light were automatically approaching, Ye Chen stopped waiting and instead chose the cyan orb with stronger energy fluctuations, as well as a purple orb that caught his eye...

The Phoenix Slayer Spear is a low-level Heaven-rank combat skill. It condenses terrifying battle qi into an ancient Azure Phoenix image, uses blood as a catalyst to lock onto its target, and destroys everything with boundless power, relentlessly pursuing its goal until death.

The cyan light ball turned out to be a low-level Heaven-rank combat skill, which was both unexpected and reasonable for Ye Chen.

After all, Xuan Kongzi had already mentioned when they entered that the lowest-level fighting techniques and cultivation methods on the third floor of this library were all high-level Earth-rank, and there were quite a few Heaven-rank techniques and fighting methods as well.

Of course, only such a profound foundation can be worthy of the ancient tradition of the Dan Tower, which has existed since ancient times...

"I didn't expect this to be a lock-on skill. Does that mean that once an enemy is locked onto by this Phoenix Killing Spear, they have no choice but to use their superior strength to withstand the skill's power?"

Ye Chen glanced through the information about this Heaven-Rank Battle Technique and thought to himself.

If that's really the case, then this fighting technique is incredibly valuable...

With the Soul Condensation Technique and the Phoenix Killing Spear already established, this third purple orb, whose energy and attributes were clearly inferior to the former two, was destined to be nothing more than an add-on.

However, to Ye Chen's surprise, this thing, which he originally considered a bonus, actually gave him a big surprise...

"Thunder God Nine Revolutions, Nine Revolutions to Godhood!"

The first four characters are the name of this fighting technique, while the last four characters are its description...

Actually, calling it a combat skill is a bit inaccurate, because "Thor's Nine Revolutions" is more like an extremely profound secret technique!

Ye Chen didn't care about things like becoming a god after nine revolutions.

As for the effects and value of the "Nine Revolutions of the Thunder God," Ye Chen felt that even if it wasn't as good as the Phoenix Killing Spear, it was still comparable to ordinary low-level Heaven-rank combat skills...

There's no way around it; it's a secret technique that can enhance combat power, just like Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame Three Transformations in the original novel, so it deserves this kind of evaluation!

Chapter 205 Ascetic Training

Ye Chen was in a very good mood after stepping out of the ancient stone gate.

Xuan Kongzi, who was waiting outside, saw this scene and immediately understood what was going on.

"How was it? Judging from your expression, you must have had a great time, right?" Xuan Kongzi asked his disciple with a smile.

Ye Chen nodded: "I obtained a soul cultivation method, a Heaven-rank combat skill, and a high-level Earth-rank secret technique. The gains are substantial."

Xuan Kongzi raised an eyebrow, but wasn't too surprised.

After all, Xuan Kongzi had already suspected this when he decided to let Ye Chen advance to the third level. Or rather, he had even considered something more outrageous, but it seems his disciple's luck wasn't quite that extraordinary...

"Okay, so what are you planning to do next?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's refine some pills first, and then raise our battle qi level."

Xuan Kongzi nodded and said, "Okay, after you go out, go directly to the medicine warehouse to get the medicine. I'll give you a warrant later..."

With the order from President Xuan Kongzi, Ye Chen could freely use the medicinal herbs in the Pill Tower's herb storehouse, which gave him considerable power.

After leaving the library, Ye Chen showed no intention of resting. He immediately took the medicinal herbs and locked himself in the alchemy room.

For more than ten days, Ye Chen did not show his face again. Only after the alchemy room was reopened from the inside did Ye Chen, looking exhausted, see the sunlight outside again.

"Phew... Four Breakthrough Pills should be enough to help me break through to the Dou Zong realm."

After breaking through to the Spirit Realm, Ye Chen's alchemy skills improved significantly. It took him less than twelve days to refine four Breakthrough Pills, averaging only three days to refine one pill. This speed was more than double what he used to be.

Once his Dou Qi cultivation breaks through to the Dou Zong level, this speed will be even faster. At that time, he might be able to refine a peak sixth-grade pill in less than a day.

Back at his residence, after recovering his energy slightly, Ye Chen couldn't wait to get back into cultivation.

He did not use pills such as the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Breakthrough Pill to break through at the beginning, but instead used the Azure Origin Pill to assist his cultivation.

After more than ten days of refining medicine, Ye Chen's three-star Dou Huang level Dou Qi had reached the edge of a breakthrough. So, in less than half a day, he directly broke through to the four-star Dou Huang level.

However, this did not stop Ye Chen's cultivation; on the contrary, it became even more frantic...

The Qingyuan Pill was originally meant to increase the user's cultivation speed for three days, but under Ye Chen's bottomless and terrifying absorption, the effect of one Qingyuan Pill couldn't even last half a day. This made him take the pills like they were free, stuffing them into his mouth one after another...

Of course, the results of such intense training were also quite astonishing.

Ye Chen's battle qi surged upwards like a rocket, breaking through to the fourth star in three days and then to the fifth star in ten days...

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Ye Chen had actually broken through to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Huang.

Such a terrifying rate of improvement is not without its side effects.

Just like now, Ye Chen felt as if the battle qi within his meridians weighed a thousand pounds, and its circulation was incredibly slow.

The intensity has decreased significantly.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that this battle aura was much more mixed than his previous battle aura, and it also seemed somewhat weak.

However, there's no need to worry about that. All you need to do next is stop improving and patiently refine or remove the lingering medicinal toxins in your body.

As for the issue of mixed battle qi, that's even less of a problem. Wherever there's starlight, Ye Chen, possessing the Acquired Primordial Star Body, can purify his battle qi with the starlight.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Chen's cultivation speed was too fast, with his physique and cultivation method, there would have been no way that the problem of mixed battle qi would have occurred. The external energy would have been purified by the starlight long before it entered his body.

After stabilizing for ten days, Ye Chen discovered that all the previous aftereffects had disappeared, and he could now happily improve his cultivation again.

However, now that he is a Seven-Star Dou Huang, he no longer plans to rely on cultivation aids like the Qingyuan Pill, but instead will directly take the Huangji Pill to improve his realm.

The Imperial Pill can directly raise a Dou Huang's realm by one or two stars, so Ye Chen is confident that he can break through to a nine-star Dou Huang directly.

Just as Ye Chen was in seclusion cultivating diligently, something unexpected happened in the Ye family...

Ye Chen's Courtyard

This place had always been where Song Chun'er and Queen Medusa and the other girls would gather, but now it was completely enveloped by a huge light curtain...

The light screen was multicolored, clearly the work of Queen Medusa.

Although many powerful members of the Ye family were alerted, the presence of the seven-colored light screen prevented anyone from seeing what was happening inside.

Outside the light screen, Ye Zhong's expression was somewhat gloomy.

He naturally knew what kind of place this was, so seeing this scene, he could guess the reason to some extent.

The matter of the Calamity Poison Body is a closely guarded secret within the Ye family. Apart from a few close relatives of Ye Zhong and Ye Chen, no other members of the Ye family know about it.

Although Ye Chen confidently assured that he had a way to perfectly resolve the aftereffects of the Calamity Poison Body, he was currently in seclusion at the Pill Tower for three years, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to emerge. This made the matter of Little Fairy Doctor a major problem for the Ye family.

Actually, it's not Ye Chen's fault. After all, he didn't expect his seclusion to last so long. Moreover, in the original story, Little Fairy Doctor only started to lose control after her cultivation reached the Dou Zong level. According to Ye Chen's calculations, as long as he didn't act rashly, the girl should have plenty of time to recover.

Clearly, under his influence, Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation growth rate in this life far exceeded that in the original story. This was something Ye Chen had been too careless about and hadn't made any prior arrangements for.

Outside the light screen, upon seeing this sudden scene, several elders of the Ye family came up and asked Ye Zhong if he needed their help.

It should be noted that these guardians stationed in the Ye family are not weaklings; the weakest among them are all Seven-Star Dou Zong, so breaking through Queen Medusa's protective barrier would not be difficult for them.

Knowing what had happened inside, Ye Zhong naturally couldn't let them do such a foolish thing, so he could only give them a perfunctory answer.

However, what worried him was that among the crowd at this moment, besides the Ye family members and those who offered sacrifices, there was also this outsider, Tian Shuangzi…

Considering the other party's Dou Zun level cultivation, Ye Zhong found it hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Chapter 206 The Exposed Calamity Poison Body

If it were any other Dou Zun powerhouse, even if they discovered the Ye family's secret of possessing the Calamity Poison Body, they probably wouldn't have made it public.

After all, it's completely unnecessary to offend the Ye family over such a trivial matter.

Despite the considerable trouble the Calamity Poison Body once caused on the continent, unless the opponent can grow to the point of mastering the Poison Body, it still poses little threat to a Dou Zun-level expert.

The characteristic of the Calamity Poison Body is that its toxicity increases as it progresses, and eventually the poison will backfire on itself. Therefore, without special methods, it is very difficult for a Calamity Poison Body to grow to the Dou Zun level.

Unfortunately, if there are any people in the Central Plains who are interested in the Calamity Poison Body and even willing to go to great lengths for it, it would probably be the Ice River Valley...

As mentioned before, the Calamity Poison Body can be either congenital or acquired.

Little Fairy Doctor is considered to be born with a calamity-poison body in this generation, while the Ice Venerable is currently the only one in the Central Continent with an acquired calamity-poison body.

The Acquired Calamity Poison Body is artificially created, but it is extremely difficult to succeed and involves a near-death experience. Even if one succeeds, the resulting body might be a useless one, far inferior to Little Fairy Doctor's Innate Calamity Poison Body.

The pursuit of the Calamity Poison Body by the Ice Valley has never stopped for many years, but it has been carried out in secret, and not many people know about it.

Although the Ye family is backed by the Pill Tower, as a family of alchemists, they don't really care much about things outside the Pill Domain. So apart from Ye Chen, who knows the original plot, no one else knows these things.

Despite Queen Medusa's constant protection, the outbreak of Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body still caused some poison gas to leak out.

Perhaps other powerful figures wouldn't discover the truth from such a small clue, but as the Grand Elder of Ice River Valley and the person who had the most contact with Ice Venerable, Tian Shuangzi had a lot of knowledge about the Calamity Poison Body.

Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor's unexpected outburst immediately alerted Tian Shuangzi.

However, because it was uncertain, and given the current power and backing of the Ye family in the Pill Domain, even Tian Shuangzi and Binghe Valley dared not easily offend them. Therefore, he simply pretended not to know about this matter...

After briefly asking Ye Zhong if he wanted to help, and the latter politely declined, Tian Shuangzi stopped talking.

But in his heart, the scene was quite different...

……

……

At this moment, within Queen Medusa's seven-colored light screen, gray mist permeated the entire courtyard. As soon as one stepped into the courtyard, a gray mist carrying a slightly fishy smell would immediately hit them.

At this moment, Song Chun'er, whose body was protected by yang fire, looked anxious. Together with Medusa, they rushed to the room where Little Fairy Doctor was and pushed open the door.

The door opened, and a wisp of grayish-purple poisonous mist drifted out. Upon seeing this, Queen Medusa quickly used her battle aura to envelop it, then carefully refined it. With a flick of her sleeve, the door closed tightly again. She said in a deep voice to the room, "Be careful, speak up if anything happens!"

"Don't worry, just seal this place off, and make sure no one else comes in." Song Chun'er's solemn voice came from inside the room.

Queen Medusa nodded and slowly stepped back.

Looking at the house, he hesitated slightly, then suddenly moved his hand, and a stream of seven-colored battle qi surged out again, pouring down from the sky and completely enveloping the room.

wrap……

After doing all this, she still felt uneasy looking at the defense, so she used her spatial power to add another layer of defense outside the battle aura shield in the room.

It's no wonder Queen Medusa was so cautious.

After all, the gray poisonous mist in the courtyard was already so potent, and the grayish-purple poisonous gas that had surged from the room earlier was even stronger. If it weren't for the protection of Yang Fire, even a Dou Huang like Song Chun'er probably wouldn't have been able to get close...
