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

"Hun Xuzi..."

Upon seeing this unexpected guest, both Yao Dan and the elders of the Medicine Clan below turned grim.

Even the Medicine Clan deeply abhors the Soul Palace's practice of capturing alchemists' souls. Moreover, the upheavals involving the Spirit and Stone Clans have made the Medicine Clan extremely wary of the Soul Clan.

Now that Hun Xuzi has arrived uninvited, he naturally won't be welcomed by the Medicine Clan...

"Hehe, it seems my friends from the Medicine Clan aren't very welcoming. This goes against the Medicine Clan's hospitality!" In the sky, Hun Xuzi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Yao Dan, and said with a faint smile.

....

"Soul Void Child, my Medicine Clan did not invite you. Moreover, the relationship between your Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, as well as the other ancient races, is not what it used to be. Your actions may deepen my Medicine Clan's suspicions about the Soul Clan," Yao Wanhuo said first, his voice deep.

"It is precisely because I am not afraid of deepening your suspicions that I have come here today..."

Hun Xuzi smiled and continued, "This Pharmacopoeia is known as the highest-level alchemist conference on the Dou Qi Continent. Hehe, I am somewhat interested in the title of the continent's number one alchemist. If Elder Wan Huo is qualified to bestow this title upon me, I may leave now."

"Arrogant!"

Hun Xuzi's words immediately drew angry rebukes from some of the Medicine Clan elders.

"Heh, the title of the continent's number one alchemist is not something my Medicine Clan can bestow upon just anyone," Yao Dan chuckled. "Since you're so eager for this title, then stay. My Medicine Clan is not one to treat guests lightly. As long as you abide by our clan's rules, you are a guest. Otherwise… even if you were the Soul Clan's chief alchemist, I would still make sure you stay here!"

Hun Xuzi smiled slightly, completely disregarding the threat posed by the medicinal pill.

His mission this time is to cover up the Soul Clan's blockade of the Medicine Realm. After success, he will act as an inside agent for the Medicine Realm to assist the Void Devouring Flame in consuming the entire Medicine Clan. Therefore, before that, Soul Void Prince will not do anything that might cause accidents.

"As expected of the Medicine Pill Clan Chief, his magnanimity is indeed unmatched by others." Hun Xuzi chuckled lightly, a strange smile flashing across his eyes.

Next, Hun Xuzi moved and appeared directly on a stone chair under the gaze of many people, a position that was not far from Ye Chen.

The moment their eyes met, an invisible force collided with them like lightning.

Crack!

A thunderous sound echoed deep within the souls of everyone around, then vanished.

They both looked away at the same time...

"Hehe, I didn't expect that in just a few hundred years, the Pill Tower would produce such a monstrous talent as you..." Hun Xuzi's indifferent voice reached Ye Chen's ears.

Ye Chen said calmly, "I just wonder how much weight that skill you stole from my Pill Tower still holds!"

"Heh, you'll find out..." A murderous glint flashed in Hun Xuzi's eyes as he spoke in a sinister and icy tone.

Despite this, Ye Chen did not underestimate Hun Xuzi in the slightest.

The fact that he was chosen as a disciple by the former master of the Little Pill Tower demonstrates that Hun Xuzi possesses exceptional talent and skill in alchemy. Coupled with the Soul Clan's relentless cultivation, his alchemy skills have now reached a high level.

They are a whole level above even the legendary Shennong...

Others could naturally sense the changes between the two, and quite a few insiders turned their attention to the relationship between Ye Chen and Hun Xuzi.

Upon seeing this, Yao Wanhuo turned to look at his clan leader and opened his mouth as if to say something.

However, the medicine pill stopped him in advance and shook its head at him...

Yao Wanhuo looked somewhat unwilling, but he understood the clan leader's meaning. The current period is crucial for the Yao clan, and it goes without saying how important this is. It would be best to avoid any unexpected conflicts during this time.

[This book-reading app was recommended to me by a book-loving friend of ten years! It's so damn useful! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here.]

The tension between Ye Chen and Hun Xuzi was palpable, but neither of them intended to make a move. However, they both harbored the same thought...

"Just wait and see how you get out of here!"

Yes, Soul Void Master is confident that once Lord Void completes the blockade of the Medicine Realm, everyone here will only face death.

As for Ye Chen, he had already made up his mind to kill this old turtle first after the battle started!

Chapter 519 Alchemy

Most people present showed little interest in the alchemy skills demonstrated by a group of young members of the Medicine Clan.

They traveled thousands of miles to get here, not to watch these young members of the Medicine Clan show off their skills. What everyone was looking forward to was the final battle to determine the continent's number one alchemist!

However, Ye Chen watched with great interest as these young members of the Medicine Clan competed against each other.

Well, it's a bit incongruous for him to say "young people," because these people are about the same age as Ye Chen, and can be considered young talents under the age of thirty.

At this age, in the Central Continent, being able to reach the eighth rank of alchemist would already be considered a peerless talent, far surpassing the likes of Song Qing and Dan Xuan, and second only to Dan Chen and Cao Ying.

But among the hundreds of young members of the Medicine Clan present at the Medicine Clan's pharmacopoeia, Ye Chen noticed that more than half had reached the eighth rank...

In this respect alone, the Medicine Clan has far surpassed the Pill Tower.

Moreover, Ye Chen also saw more than one eighth-grade alchemy master who had successfully refined seven-colored and eight-colored pill lightning. This level of skill was comparable to that of the old fogies in the Little Pill Tower.

As for Yao Tian and Yao Ling, who appeared in the Demon Flame Space, they even directly refined pills with nine-colored pill lightning. This ability would rank them in the top ten even in the Small Pill Tower...

"No wonder the title of number one on the continent has always been firmly held by the Medicine Clan. Just in the field of alchemy alone, the Medicine Clan is enough to be the most respected on the continent!" Ye Chen's calm voice carried out, causing the many Medicine Clan elders around him to show proud expressions.

However, they didn't notice the strange expression that suddenly appeared on Hun Xuzi's face not far away after hearing Ye Chen's words...

"The Medicine Clan's prodigies possess unique alchemy techniques, and each one is exceptionally talented. Given time, they will surely achieve great things!" Shennong the Elder stroked his beard and praised.

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, my old friend Shennong and Chairman Ye. These little guys may have some talent, but they're not quite up to par yet..." Yao Dan said modestly with a smile.

Listening to the three men's commercial flattery, Hun Xuzi let out a strange, cackling laugh.

Although the Medicine Clan's bloodline endowed their people with unparalleled talent in alchemy, wasn't this also their constraint?

Ancient races, each possessing an incredibly powerful bloodline, which is both their advantage and their fatal flaw.

As time relentlessly passes, the power of bloodline will only become weaker and weaker until the bloodline is exhausted, just like the Xiao clan in the past.

Even if the Soul Clan doesn't intervene, given the current state of the Medicine Clan, it's likely that within a thousand years, the entire Medicine Clan will follow the same path as the Xiao Clan, unless the Medicine Clan can produce another Dou Di along the way...

But that's completely impossible!

You should know that no Dou Di has appeared on the entire Dou Qi Continent for ten thousand years!

After the prelude to the pharmacopoeia was over, the atmosphere in the square did not quiet down; instead, it suddenly became heated.

A series of almost burning gazes swept across the square, finally landing on the stone benches.

Everyone knew perfectly well that the real highlight of the pharmacopoeia was these big shots standing at the pinnacle of the alchemy world...

"Heh heh, it's finally about to begin. That boring scene just now almost made this old man sleepy..." Hun Xuzi chuckled strangely.

However, his words immediately drew hostile glances from all the elders of the Medicine Clan.

Even Yao Wanhuo couldn't help but frown, a surge of anger rising within him.

Ye Chen watched all this calmly, but then he heard Su Lingyin's voice...

"Are you going to make your move next? Who do you think your opponents will be?"

"Among those present, there are only a few qualified to make a move... Yao Wanhuo of the Medicine Clan, that Shennong Elder, and Hunxuzi."

"Not offering any medicinal pills?" Su Lingyin glanced at the medicinal pill on the head table and asked.

"As the head of a clan, one should naturally possess the pride of a clan leader..." Ye Chen smiled and said, "However, his alchemy skills are no weaker than anyone else present!"

Su Lingyin nodded; she believed it.

"Hehe, after the appetizers, it's time for the main event. I understand what you all are thinking..." Facing the gaze of the entire audience, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, "In this Pharmacopoeia Conference, there are a total of four people competing, and you should all know who these four are even if I don't say it."

The final winner among them will claim the title of the continent's number one alchemist!

I think that no one should object to or disagree with the person who wins this title..."

"Please enter, gentlemen."

As his voice fell, the domineering Hun Xuzi took the lead and went directly to the stage.

Yao Wanhuo watched this scene, a glint of fire flashing in his eyes. Then, he waved his sleeve, transforming into a ball of flame and occupying a position.

The old man Shennong smiled gently, his feet stepping on the void. As he shook the cane in his hand, which looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs, the jade bottle on it clattered together, making a crisp sound. He then slowly walked up to it.

Ye Chen looked at the three of them and a smile appeared on his face.

These three can be considered giants in the entire Dou Qi Continent's alchemy world. He was extremely excited to be able to compete with such powerful figures on the same stage...

The four stepped forward and each took their place on one side.

A huge cheer erupted from the stands below, showing the same enthusiasm for this top-level competition.

Seeing this scene, Hun Xuzi let out a strange laugh and said, "Heh heh, very good. It's just right for this old man to bring back the title of the continent's number one alchemist to the Hun Clan in front of all the heroes of the world..."

"Hmph, the Medicine Clan is a clan that refines medicine. This title is probably better left to the Medicine Clan!" Elder Wanhuo sneered, making a declaration without showing any weakness.

The old man Shennong didn't have such a fierce aura. He simply said to Hun Xuzi in a calm tone, "Although I don't have much interest in such empty titles, it would be a great disgrace for us alchemists if the title of the number one alchemist on the continent were to fall on your head."

Well, alright. Given what the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace have done over the years, they are absolutely the common enemy of all alchemists.

The reason why the Soul Palace could capture souls so recklessly was largely due to the machinations of this Soul Void Child. That's why even a kind old man like Shennong Elder spoke harshly.

As for Ye Chen...

"A shameless scoundrel who murdered his master and stole his skills, do you really think you can covet the title of the number one on the continent?"

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from the three men, even Hun Xuzi was furious and gritted his teeth, already thinking that he would skin these bastards alive and devour their souls in a moment.

"Fine, I'd like to see if your skills are as tough as your words!"

After speaking, he didn't waste any more words. He simply waved his sleeve, and black flames surged out of his body in an overwhelming manner.

The black flames quickly condensed in the sky in front of Hun Xuzi into a statue that was as large as...

The enormous black fire cauldron, hundreds of feet tall, faintly emanated a strange devouring power.

"Void Devouring Flame?"

Gazing at the fire cauldron formed from black flames, Yao Dan, Yao Wanhuo, and Shennong Laoren all sharpened their eyes and said in deep voices.

Only Ye Chen and Su Lingyin present were not surprised by this scene; in fact, a hint of greed flashed in the latter's eyes...

"Summon all the strange flames within you. My Void Devouring Flame is extremely craving their taste," Soul Void Master said with a smile, looking at Ye Chen and the other two.

Those who have reached their current level, how could they possibly not possess a different kind of fire?

First was Shennong the Elder, who was most surprised by the sudden appearance of the Void Devouring Flame and couldn't understand how the Soul Clan could obtain such a high-level strange fire.

However, since the Medicine Clan had also participated in the matter of the Demon Flame Space, they naturally knew that the Soul Clan possessed the Void Devouring Flame. Therefore, they were only slightly surprised before Yao Wanhuo regained his senses.

Faced with Hun Xuzi's arrogant words, he simply said coldly, "If you want to devour our strange fire, we'll see if you have the ability!"

Having finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a gust of dark wind suddenly howled out from it...

These gales were rapidly writhing in mid-air, but only upon close observation could one discover that they were not gales at all, but rather a strange kind of flame!

"Nine Netherworld Wind Flame..."

Soon, everyone recognized the name of the flame.

The Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked tenth on the list of strange flames, is also a peculiar and terrifying flame.

Seeing that both Hun Xuzi and Yao Wanhuo had summoned their strange flames, Shennong the Elder laughed heartily, lightly tapping the void with his herbal cane, and said with a smile, "It seems that I can no longer hide my talents..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicinal herb cane in his hand suddenly ignited without fire, and a wisp of green flame, as if it were liquid, slowly rose up.

Flames rose, mist swirled, and everyone saw countless strange medicinal herbs slowly growing, exuding a moving aura of life.

"The Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the list of extraordinary flames... I never expected that the old man Shennong would possess such a flame, which is most suitable for alchemists!"

This scene once again caused a huge uproar.

Unfortunately, while the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which rank among the top three, may be more powerful, the Life Flame, which can instantly generate countless precious medicinal herbs, is clearly more suitable for alchemists.

Three people, each unleashing a different kind of flame, and all of them were strange flames!

This scene immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax, especially the Void Devouring Flame and the Flame of Life, which attracted almost everyone's attention.

"Heh heh, kid, didn't you want to avenge that old ghost? What, now you don't even dare to unleash your flames?" Hun Xuzi looked at Ye Chen, who still remained calm, and mocked him.

Ye Chen glanced at the old man, giving him a "I don't want to talk to you" look, and then, amidst everyone's eager anticipation, a milky-white flame lotus slowly rose from his palm into the air...

"The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

Immediately, countless people exclaimed in surprise.

Although everyone present knew that the Dan Tower President had become the ultimate winner within the Demon Flame Space, they still couldn't help but feel shocked when they actually saw the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appear before them.
