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

Page 64

At this point, Ye Zhong gave Ye Chen a special look and continued, "Those who obtain a spot through this special clause are almost guaranteed to become disciples of the Pill Tower. As for whether they can become core disciples, that depends on their future growth..."

Five hundred soul points! That's almost the standard for a sixth-grade alchemist.

To possess such terrifying soul value at the age of twenty means that one will at least become a peak seventh-grade alchemist in the future, and may even be able to break through to the eighth grade. Therefore, the Pill Tower will naturally not let go of such a genius.

In the original novel, Song Qing was selected by the Pill Tower and granted a core disciple position because of this clause. Under the Pill Tower's tutelage, he grew rapidly and was valued by the Grand Elder Qiu Ling, becoming a core disciple as well. Cao Ying, on the other hand, was directly accepted as a core disciple because she was already fifteen years old, exceeding the standard, without even going through the formalities.

Chapter 144 The Soaring Serpent Makes its First Appearance

In front of the Ye family manor, all the members of the Ye family stood there, their eyes burning as they looked at Ye Chen and the others in front of them.

Although it was just participating in a public assessment of the Pill Tower, everyone knew what it meant for the Ye family right now.

If Ye Chen can demonstrate potential and strength in this assessment that will force even the higher-ups of the Pill Tower to take him seriously, then the Ye family's plummeting reputation will be instantly halted, and they might even be able to soar to new heights once again...

At that time, they will once again be the Ye family, one of the five great families that can dominate the Pill Domain!

"Second brother, third brother, I'm taking Chen'er to Saint Pill City this time, so I'm entrusting the Ye family to you..." Ye Zhong said in a deep voice to the second and third elders, who were the leaders of the Ye family.

These two, one inside and one outside, are the absolute pillars of the Ye family after Ye Zhong.

"Yes, Elder, you can rest assured. With us here, the Ye family will not be in chaos!" The Second Elder's voice was weathered, but his tone was extremely firm.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Chen was also giving some instructions...

"This trip to Saint Dan City may mean I won't be back for a while, so I'll have to ask Cai Die to take good care of the house..." Ye Chen said to Queen Medusa with a serious expression.

Of course, the "family" he was referring to wasn't the Ye family, but rather the people in his little courtyard, and his own mother...

For the time being, the Ye family doesn't need Queen Medusa, a low-level Dou Zong, to do anything.

"Don't worry, this was our agreement, wasn't it?" With the help of a Fire Lotus Pill provided by Ye Chen, Queen Medusa successfully broke through to the two-star Dou Zong realm, which made Her Majesty very happy. Therefore, she agreed to Ye Chen's request without hesitation.

"I'm relieved to hear that," Ye Chen said with a smile, nodding to Queen Medusa.

The reason for this is that Ye Chen had already started Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation several days ago...

The cultivation of the Calamity Poison Body naturally involves taking poison.

This process is actually quite dangerous...

However, Ye Chen had already explained this situation to Ye Zhong, and that his courtyard would be designated as a forbidden area of ​​the family from now on, and ordinary family members would not be allowed to approach it.

Ye Chen also asked his mother, Song Chun'er, to look after Little Fairy Doctor. With a sixth-grade alchemist watching over her, even if Little Fairy Doctor accidentally got into an accident, his mother could handle it quickly and prevent any serious consequences.

When Little Fairy Doctor grows to the point where even Song Chun'er can no longer control her, Ye Chen will probably have already firmly established himself in the Pill Tower.

Then we can find a powerful Dou Zun to create a stable spatial passage connecting Ye Cheng and the Star Valley from back then, so that Little Fairy Doctor can be transferred to that valley to cultivate...

"Alright, Chen'er, it's getting late, we should get going."

Ye Zhong's voice came from afar.

Originally, according to Ye Zhong's plan, they were to follow the original route, first passing through Ye Cheng's spatial wormhole to reach Qingling City, and then turning towards Shengdan City...

This time, before Ye Zhong could speak, Ye Chen made his move first.

Then, he pulled off his robes, and a strangely shaped silver ship appeared before everyone.

这船

It is over twenty meters long and four or five meters wide, much like a regular spaceship. The only difference is that at the bottom of the ship, there is a huge recess, two or three meters wide, that runs through the entire bottom of the ship...

Seeing Ye Chen's actions, everyone in the Ye family was completely confused. Only Queen Medusa, who was in the distance, knew the inside story. The moment she saw the ship, she realized something and uttered two words in a low voice.

"childish!"

After speaking, he turned and left the farewell party.

"Chen'er, what's wrong with you..." Ye Zhong wanted to ask, puzzled.

But Ye Chen just smiled mysteriously, then tapped his right wrist, which was hidden in his sleeve, and said, "Hey, get out there and get to work..."

As he spoke, a small black snake, about the thickness of a finger, slowly slithered out of his sleeve. It raised its little head and looked at the large ship floating in the sky. A human-like melancholy appeared in its eyes. It shook its little head slightly and flew away unwillingly.

To everyone's astonishment, the small black snake that had been thrown out grew at a visible speed, and in just a few breaths, it had become a giant black python tens of meters long...

The black scales on its back, paired with the silver patterns on its belly, added countless colors to this snake.

"This is..." Ye Zhong stared wide-eyed in shock at the giant black python that had embedded itself into the groove at the bottom of the ship. He was completely bewildered by his grandson's audacious move.

"Let's go, Grandpa. With the Sky Serpent here, we don't need to use the space wormhole; we can set off directly..."

Crossing the void!

In Ye Zhong's memory, only the Void Heavenly Horse Beast Chariot of the Dan family had such convenient abilities.

"Soaring Serpent? This thing is probably even rarer than the Void Pegasus Beast of the Dan family. When did you start raising such a strange beast?" After boarding the ship, Ye Zhong looked around curiously and found that it was even more comfortable than his own space ship. It must have been specially made. He couldn't help but ask.

Ye Chen smiled calmly and said, "I happened to encounter this in the Northern Region of Central State before, and as you know, I was with Queen Medusa at the time, so capturing this little thing wouldn't have been difficult..."

Ye Zhong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. With an evolved snake king like Queen Medusa, there is indeed an absolute suppression of beings like the Sky Serpent."

Thinking of the fact that his grandson seemed to have a Jade Serpent with Three-Flower Pupils that had not yet grown up, Ye Zhong could already imagine how miserable the fate would be if a snake-type magical beast became his enemy in the future!

A violent spatial fluctuation came, and the Ye family members outside discovered that a huge black spatial hole had suddenly appeared in the sky. Then they saw the giant python dragging the large ship on its body and plunge into the hole, disappearing without a trace.

This scene not only caused an uproar among the Ye family members, but also among the powerful figures passing through Ye City. They immediately began to discuss what kind of magical beast that giant python was.

With just a small gesture, the Ye family regained their fame, which was a fitting reward for Ye Chen's deliberate and grand display of the Soaring Serpent.

For the Ye family now, keeping a low profile is no longer their choice; they want to be as high-profile as possible to show everyone their strength and resources.

In this way, once Ye Chen successfully becomes a core disciple of the Pill Tower, the Ye family can more quickly recover the prestige they have lost...

Chapter 145 The First Clash with the Three Thousand Burning Flames

The seemingly endless red rock plaza was almost completely packed with people.

Spaceships continuously emerged from the space that was constantly distorting and fluctuating violently, and quickly became tiny, while the figures inside fell from the sky like beans...

Among the crowd, many young people with youthful faces were observing everything around them with great interest, accompanied by their elders.

During the public assessment, even young alchemists who were not qualified to participate would be brought by their elders to be bystanders.

Opportunities to witness so many talented alchemists gathered together are rare!

"Ancestor, look! There are so many alchemists..."

A teenager who had just disembarked from the spaceship was stunned by the scene before him.

Beside him, an old man dressed in a sixth-grade alchemist's robe stroked his beard and chuckled, saying, "Hehe, silly boy. This is Saint Pill City, a sacred place in the hearts of all alchemists. Nearly ninety percent of the alchemists in the entire Central Continent gather here. Do you think it's crowded?"

The boy nodded repeatedly, and remembering that he was also one of them, he immediately straightened his back and tried his best to show off the badge of a first-grade alchemist hanging on his chest.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were about to leave the plaza and head to the outer city of Saint Dan to find a place to stay, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky behind them, and then a special "space ship" with a silver body appeared in the sky...

What makes this "spaceship" special is that after leaving the space tunnel, the ship's hull remained unchanged. However, upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the ship was being carried by a giant python tens of meters long...

"Wow! What's that?" the boy couldn't help but exclaim.

The old ancestor beside him stared wide-eyed at the scene, wondering what kind of magical beast it was that could carry a spaceship through a wormhole...

Of course, although many people do not know the true appearance of the giant snake, the green leaf patterns on the hull indicate the identity of the people on board.

"They're from the Ye family!"

The five great families of the Pill Domain, namely the Pill Clan, the Ye family, and the Qiu family, are all behemoths that countless people in the Pill Domain look up to.

Moreover, the Ye family played a significant role in making this public assessment so sensational. Therefore, the sudden appearance of a special spaceship bearing the Ye family's insignia immediately drew the attention of countless eyes across the entire plaza.

Ye Chen and his grandson inside the ship paid no attention to the commotion outside.

Ye Zhong glanced at his grandson across from him and said, "We've been traveling all day. Let's rest at Ye Academy first. Tomorrow I'll take you to the Pill Tower's testing site to upgrade your alchemist level badge."

Ye Chen's current alchemist badge is still the fifth-grade alchemist badge he obtained from the Pill Tower assessment more than a year ago. Because he does not intend to take the special assessment route like Cao Ying, he needs to obtain the qualification of a sixth-grade alchemist before that.

Ye Chen naturally had no objection to this and replied, "It's all up to Grandpa's arrangements."

Before everyone's eyes, the Sky Serpent carrying the large ship quickly disappeared into the horizon. Half an hour later, it landed at Ye Yuan, located in the southern outer region of Saint Pill City.

……

……

&

As time passed, night slowly poured down from the sky, enveloping the entire city of Saint Dan in a hazy twilight.

In a small courtyard of Ye Academy, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the brilliant stars in the sky. After a long while, his brows slowly furrowed.

"According to the original work, the Three Thousand Burning Flames should have been sealed by the Pill Tower in this star field above Saint Pill City. With my current soul power, I can't even sense the slightest abnormality?"

With his current physique and the special existence of the Star Chart, Xiao Yan in the original story should be able to sense that star field, while he can't...

As he stared intently, he finally noticed something unusual. The night sky over Saint Pill City seemed even more unreal than the night skies of other places…

"This is... a seal?"

This discovery delighted Ye Chen, who was surprised that he could actually see the difference in this star field.

But that's all. Whether it's his current cultivation level or his soul level, he's far too lacking to even touch that seal.

However, Ye Chen, who had been focused on the starry sky, did not notice that at some point, he was enveloped in a dazzling starlight. Almost all the star power in this world was attracted to him, illuminating the area within hundreds of meters around him as if it were daytime.

Because there was no human habitation within a ten-mile radius of Ye's residence, no one except the Ye family members in the residence noticed this unusual phenomenon.

At this moment, Ye Zhong, who had been alerted, rushed over. Seeing his grandson standing there motionless like a light bulb, he immediately stopped everyone from approaching and ordered the area around Ye Courtyard to be sealed off, forbidding anyone from disturbing him...

"That kid, he really knows how to stir things up." Ye Zhong muttered to himself, then left with a look of delight on his face.

Ye Chen was completely unaware of all this, because at this moment he was completely captivated by the sky above him.

Although Ye Chen's current soul power is insufficient to reach the seal in the sky, the sky itself is actively embracing him, as if guiding his soul to the Star Realm...

This scene suddenly reminded Ye Chen of the Primordial Star Body he had acquired. One of its features was "Star Force Affinity"!

Ye Chen originally thought that this so-called star power affinity was just to make it easier for him to absorb the star power that permeated the world...

But what he saw now made him realize just how abnormal this so-called "Star Power Affinity" really was!

"I feel like I can easily become one with the starry sky right now..."

This was the only feeling in Ye Chen's mind at that moment!

This state lasted for an unknown amount of time, but Ye Chen suddenly found himself as if he had stumbled into an unknown space. He was jolted, and when he came to his senses, he found that in his field of vision, a giant dragon that seemed to have almost no end was coiled up. The dragon's eyes were closed, and a strange purplish-black flame was swirling around its body...

The instant Ye Chen saw the scene before him, the dragon coin's pupils suddenly snapped open, and a terrifying pressure descended upon Ye Chen in an instant, the immense impact almost causing him to collapse...

A terrifying dragon's roar resounded from his soul, instantly blasting Ye Chen out of his previous state.

"That's... the Three Thousand Burning Flames?!"

Chapter 146 The Hidden Truth

Above Saint Dan City, in the starry sky, there exists a special star field that is like a mirror image of Saint Dan City.

This place was originally created by the three giants of the Pill Tower together with the three elders from a spatial rift. It was also a place that the Pill Tower used specifically to seal the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

Rumble!

The once deathly silent space was suddenly filled with violent tremors, and a faint dragon's roar could be heard echoing through it...

This change naturally did not escape the eyes of the people of the Pill Tower. The moment the tremor sounded, a figure in white robes appeared in this space.

"This is... could it be that beast has woken up?"

The newcomer was Qiu Ling, the head of the eight elders of the Pill Tower, and a powerful figure in the Pill Tower who was responsible for guarding the star field on a regular basis.

However, although there was a dragon's roar, it quickly subsided, which made Qiu Ling deny his previous guess.

"Has someone discovered this place and was just testing the waters?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Ling's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp.

If that's the case, then things might get complicated...

Moreover, I had been paying close attention to the changes in the entire space. If someone was indeed spying on me with their soul power, they would definitely not escape my eyes.

"The day of the public assessment is approaching, and with this happening today, it seems I must speak with the president..."

If it was indeed done intentionally, then this matter is far from simple, and they must prepare in advance.
