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

Page 120

This gave Ye Chen an additional 50 points of comprehension ("skill" attribute), 50 points of soul control, and 50 points of fire control. This made him more capable of controlling his own soul power and flames, so he no longer had to worry about the problem of insufficient control caused by excessive increase in soul power, as he had before.

The improvement in his comprehension not only allowed him to cultivate combat skills more quickly, but Ye Chen also discovered that his understanding of pill formulas had deepened. In fact, if he wanted, he might be able to develop his own unique pill formulas at a faster speed than other alchemists of the same level...

Looking at the star field now, it has become a completely dilapidated space. At a glance, you can even see the spatial barrier in the sky that is constantly being torn apart by the void turbulence.

Clearly, this star field has truly come to an end...

Shaking his head, Ye Chen quickly formed hand seals and then sent a mark into the void. After a spatial fluctuation, a complete spatial passage appeared in front of him.

……

……

Having obtained the Three Thousand Burning Flames, Ye Chen's strength has been greatly enhanced. It can be said that Ye Chen has undergone earth-shattering changes in less than a year.

Thinking about what had happened with the Ye family, he knew it was time for him to go back and take a look...

Of course, before that, Ye Chen still needed to refine the Vajra Bodhi Pill that he had promised to Venerable Golden Cauldron.

Originally, this time would have been much earlier, but there are advantages to it too. With Ye Chen's overall strength improving, the Vajra Bodhi Pill he refined this time will no longer be just a simple two-colored pill...

Thick thunderclouds once again enveloped the alchemy plaza of the Pill Tower. Many idle alchemists gathered in twos and threes outside the plaza, looking up at this scene.

"Three-colored thunderbolts? It's heading towards four-colored thunderclouds..." Among the eight elders, Mu Rong, who hadn't appeared for a long time, couldn't help but sigh.

Several other elders were also present beside him.

Especially as one of the top three elders, Qiu Ling stood with the patriarchs of the Cao and Dan families. Upon seeing this scene, the Cao family patriarch couldn't help but say, "Four-colored thunderclouds, isn't this Ye family boy's alchemy skills going to surpass mine?"

This doesn't mean that the Cao family patriarch himself couldn't refine pills with four-colored lightning, but rather that the Vajra Bodhi Pill was originally only two-colored, but Ye Chen has now forcibly elevated it to four-colored lightning, which is the most important thing!

The patriarch of the Dan family silently compared the two and realized that although he could also achieve this level, he would never be as relaxed as the other party. He exclaimed in amazement, "Who would have thought that in just a few years, this little guy would have such strength, and even his alchemy skills have improved to such an incredible level!"

Chapter 274 Reunion

In one alchemy session, Ye Chen directly won over the eight elders of the Pill Tower, which will greatly benefit him in the future when he takes over the position of the Pill Tower's leader.

This was also one of the reasons why Xuan Kongzi arranged for Ye Chen to publicly refine pills this time.

Perhaps spurred on by his disciple's phenomenal growth rate, Xuan Kongzi is now diligently nurturing Ye Chen towards becoming a top-tier figure, while he himself has subtly hinted at wanting to step down...

Although the leaders of the Pill Tower hold prestigious positions, they have too many things to worry about, which is not exactly a desirable job for alchemists who are focused on mastering the art of alchemy.

Look at those old monsters inside the Little Pill Tower. Why don't they show themselves? It's because they're so focused on their pursuit of alchemy and cultivation.

Previously, Xuan Kongzi hadn't felt anything was wrong. After all, such a large pill tower definitely needed someone to oversee it...

Seeing his disciple's astonishing growth rate made him consider quitting. And it was precisely this astonishing growth rate that made him consider quitting.

If Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi knew what their old friend was thinking, they'd probably explode again...

After leaving Saint Pill City, Ye Chen did not return directly to his family, but instead headed towards Misty Valley.

If nothing unexpected happens, the spatial wormhole between the Ye family and Misty Valley should have been completed by now. I wonder if my grandfather has arranged for any of the family members to go there for secluded cultivation.

Ye Chen's trip to Misty Valley was not only to see his mother, Song Chun'er, and Medusa, but also, most importantly, to help Little Fairy Doctor condense the poison pill...

It wasn't that Ye Chen deliberately dragged this matter out until this time; it was simply that the three different flames required for the Poison Pill technique could only be achieved after Ye Chen subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Moreover, neither the three different kinds of strange fire forging the body nor the seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Demon Core can be withstood by ordinary people.

Therefore, it is essential to allow Little Fairy Doctor to improve her strength under strict control.

After reaching the Dou Zun level, Ye Chen's travel speed had greatly improved. Misty Valley itself was not far from Saint Pill City, so it only took Ye Chen a little over an hour to arrive at the outside of this mountain shrouded in white mist...

Without needing the guidance of the psychic white fox, Ye Chen's immense soul power spread out and easily located the Misty Valley.

"Hmm, it seems that this mist can only affect those below the Spirit Realm Soul level. Once the soul reaches the Spirit Realm, its effect of blocking soul power detection is almost negligible..."

Ye Chen now had a deeper understanding of the safety of Misty Valley.

However, this is already enough. After all, not everyone can reach the Spirit Realm Soul. Apart from an eighth-grade alchemist, even some Dou Zun might not be able to achieve such a transformation in the Soul Realm!

Upon entering the valley, Ye Chen discovered that it was now quite lively, and he even saw some young members of the Ye family, dressed in their family attire, building houses under the guidance of someone...

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile at this scene.

Clearly, these young people below are all elite members of their families, mostly under twenty years old, and their cultivation levels are all at the Great Dou Master and Dou Ling levels...

With their skills, they would be excellent at moving bricks and carrying wood, and

Upon closer inspection, Ye Chen realized that the person in charge of command was Ye Chi, a member of the Ye family and of his father's generation. According to seniority, he should call him "Sixteenth Uncle"...

Although this person's talent in battle qi and alchemy is not outstanding, he is a master of creation, so having him in charge of these matters is a good use of his talents.

After briefly observing the group below to get a sense of the current situation of the Ye family members, Ye Chen quickly headed towards the inner valley...

There, he sensed several familiar presences, clearly indicating that this was the place where his mother and the other women lived.

Under a brand-new pavilion, Song Chun'er looked at the wisps of white steam rising from the tea in front of her with some boredom, lost in thought.

In an open space outside the pavilion, Alita, still dressed simply, was speaking seriously to a girl in a green dress...

"Qinglin, how many times have I told you? That last strike needed to have killing intent. Do you understand killing intent? What power could a move as light and airy as yours possibly have?!"

Alita's fierce roar echoed around them.

Unfortunately, all that answered her was the innocent and naive face of a young girl...

"But I have enslaved magical beasts protecting me, why should I rush up and attack people with a knife? Isn't that very dangerous?"

"Who taught you this nonsense..." Alita was getting a little frustrated.

“Young master, he said that as an alchemist, why rush in himself when others can do it?”

Although I'm not an alchemist, the powerful snake-like magical beasts enslaved by my Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes will certainly be more obedient to me, so there's even less reason for me to rush to the front, right?

His words were so reasonable and well-founded that Alita, as a mother, didn't know how to respond.

However, Ye Chen, who also heard these words, couldn't help but twitch his lips. He never expected that his casual remark would cause this girl's thoughts to become so distorted. He wondered what the future held...

Wiping away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, Ye Chen could only cough lightly before stepping down from the sky.

His appearance startled the girls, who then rushed over in surprise...

"You brat, you finally decided to come back!"

Yes, only Song Chun'er could have said that.

As for Qinglin, who had grown into a young lady, she let out a sweet and cheerful shout: "Young Master is back!"

When Alita saw this, her face, which had been somewhat surprised, immediately darkened. This little thing had never been so enthusiastic towards her before.

It seems I've ruined my daughter...

Ye Chen was first scolded by his mother in a huff, and then his gaze fell on Qing Lin, who had grown into a graceful young woman.

She was still dressed in an elegant light green outfit, and her jet-black hair had been tied up for cultivation, which made the girl look more mature.

Although she looks a bit petite, she is very well-developed, with curves in all the right places, full and slender, though she looks slightly immature.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Before we knew it, even this little kid had grown so much. It seems cultivation truly transcends time...

Chapter 275 Her Majesty's Change

Looking at the now graceful Qinglin, Ye Chen couldn't help but rub her head and sighed softly, "It hasn't been that long since I last saw her, and the little girl has grown up so much..."

When Ye Chen patted her head, Qing Lin's face immediately turned red, and she looked shy and incredibly alluring.

After exchanging a few more words with Alita, who looked displeased, Ye Chen turned to his mother and asked, "Where are Xian'er and Cai Die? I haven't seen them."

Song Chun'er gestured towards a cluster of simple wooden huts in the valley and said, "The two girls are in seclusion. Since arriving here, they've rarely shown themselves; they're either in seclusion or preparing for it..."

"What brings you back this time?"

Song Chun'er knew very well that her son would never come back unless something was wrong. He didn't care about his mother at all and was really not cute at all!

Of course, Song Chun'er could understand that a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up.

But this guy is so lax about even his own life's most important matter. He has two beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, at home. It's been so long, and he still hasn't produced a child. It's such a waste of all the years of my teaching!

Seeing his mother's strange, resentful gaze, Ye Chen felt a little awkward, but he still forced a smile and said, "I'm here this time to help Little Fairy Doctor resolve her Calamity Poison Body..."

"Of course, I also unintentionally obtained a cultivation technique that is very suitable for Qinglin before, and I'm here to give it to her..."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the eyes of the three women present lit up.

"Solve the Calamity Poison Body? Is this the Poison Pill method you mentioned before? Wasn't it said that the conditions for this method are extremely difficult? Are you already confident?" Song Chun'er asked in surprise.

"Young master, young master, what kind of cultivation technique is it? Can I really cultivate it?" It was Qing Lin who asked this question.

Alita, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up when she heard that there was a cultivation method suitable for her daughter...

Seeing the three people looking anxious, Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Although the method of using poison pills is difficult, I have now met the conditions for performing it, and I have also prepared all the necessary materials..."

As for Qinglin's cultivation technique, it's quite extraordinary, reaching the low-level Heaven Rank. If she successfully transitions to this new technique, Qinglin will quickly grow into a great expert!

Hearing the last sentence, Qinglin was so excited that her face turned red. She looked at Ye Chen, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Ye Chen naturally knew what the little girl was thinking, and then said, "Don't rush, cultivating Heaven-rank techniques isn't that simple. I'll personally teach you in a little while..."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" The little green-scaled chick nodded repeatedly, like pecking at rice.

"Alright, let's call Xian'er and Cai Die out first. We need to explain these things to them as well." Ye Chen said as he used soul transmission to wake up Little Fairy Doctor and Queen Medusa, who were in seclusion.

The women gathered, and before Ye Chen could speak, Queen Medusa, who had just emerged from seclusion, suddenly asked, "Ye Chen, what realm are you in now?"

This statement immediately stunned everyone.

To be honest, among everyone present, apart from Queen Medusa, everyone else was weaker than Ye Chen, so even though Ye Chen had advanced to the Dou Zun level, they couldn't detect it at all.

However, when they last met, Ye Chen was only a one-star Dou Zong, far from being as powerful as Medusa.

Meanwhile, Queen Medusa also diligently cultivated, not wasting a single moment, but at present she has only barely broken through to the Seven Star Dou Zong level...

But when she looked at Ye Chen again, she found that she could no longer see through his cultivation level. This gave Queen Medusa a bad feeling, which led to the question mentioned above.

Ye Chen glanced at Her Majesty the Queen, whose face was solemn. He wanted to tell a white lie, but knowing her personality, he knew that if he did, the consequences would probably be counterproductive.

So after only a moment's hesitation, Ye Chen said frankly, "I just broke through to the first-star Dou Zun a while ago..."

"Battle Venerable..." Queen Medusa fell silent.

As for the others, apart from Song Chun'er who looked overjoyed, the other three women were completely bewildered. For them, the title of Dou Zun was still something they had only heard of…

After a long silence, Queen Medusa took the initiative to speak: "I also want to break through to the Dou Zun level. You have to help me!"

To be honest, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised by what the other person said. In his mind, the proud and aloof Her Majesty was not the type to take the initiative to ask for favors...

Moreover, even Queen Medusa, who had previously sought the Ye family's help, would have proactively reciprocated. For instance, she had received resources from the Ye family over the years, and she had wholeheartedly followed Ye Chen's instructions to help Song Chun'er assist Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation of the Calamity Poison Body.

Ultimately, Queen Medusa still wanted to treat her time with the Ye family as a transaction...

But this time, speaking up has a completely different meaning for someone like Medusa!

Ye Chen glanced at his mother, wanting to ask what had happened during his absence that had caused such a drastic change in their Queen.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Chen turned his gaze, it met Song Chun'er's. Ye Chen then saw his mother's smug look, as if to say, "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

Ye Chen secretly gave his mother a thumbs up!

After a quick telepathic exchange between mother and son, Ye Chen looked at Medusa with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

He didn't just give that random answer...

When I obtained the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Serpent Treasure Record, I also received a spine bone that resembled that of a heavenly serpent...

Based on Ye Chen's speculation about the skeleton, it was likely a fallen ninth-tier magical beast.

However, it was unknown how long that snake had been dead; the entire remains of the Battle Saint had decayed, leaving only a spine...

"Perhaps this will be useful to you..." Ye Chen flipped his hand and took out the crystal-clear bone that looked like crystal.

The moment the crystal skeleton appeared, two people present were instantly stunned...

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, a slight smile appearing on his face, and asked softly, "What's wrong? How do you feel?"

As he asked the question, Ye Chen also glanced at Qing Lin sitting next to him. The little girl's eyes were glazed over as she stared at the crystal skeleton in front of her, looking lost in thought.

In contrast, Queen Medusa quickly regained her composure, forcibly suppressing the intense desire within her, and said in a trembling voice, "You, you really want to give it to me..."
