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

Page 182

"Seven-Colored Thunderbolt is also running for elder?" Xuan Yi curled his lip, his words still extremely harsh.

Cao Ying, standing beside her teacher, looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Will this girl become this sarcastic in the future? Her original sarcastic tone is already bad enough, but if she turns on her sarcastic side, my life is going to be tough.

Hou Laoguai

"He should be able to successfully condense the pill within three days. If I'm not mistaken, what he's refining this time should be the 'Flame Demon Purifying Profound Pill.' If this pill is successfully refined, it will surely attract nine-colored pill lightning..." Xuan Yi had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking at this moment, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, this old fellow's alchemy skills have improved quite a bit over the years." The silent Tian Lei Zi finally spoke his first words.

Clearly, the old monster Hou was showing a level of strength that surpassed his own, which was why Tian Lei Zi had this thought.

"If you want to live 100% of the time like this old monster, unless that old guy Xuan Kong can refine a ninth-grade pill, little guy, are you sure your teacher is okay?" Xuan Yi couldn't help but look at Ye Chen again and asked.

Unfortunately, if Xuan Kongzi were to advance to the ninth rank, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi would likely suffer an even greater blow...

Three more days passed.

Just as Xuan Yi said, Hou Laoguai's pills attracted nine-colored pill lightning, causing a lot of discussion.

Elder Lin, who was in charge, looked much better. After all, he had seen too much Seven-Colored Pill Lightning before, which made him wonder if the Little Pill Tower's strength had declined.

After the pill was completed, Old Monster Hou's attention was immediately focused on Xuan Kongzi.

He knew very well that his biggest rival in this election for elder was Xuan Kongzi.

Xuan Kongzi, of course, wouldn't disappoint those secretly observing him. At the crucial moment, he directly dropped a drop of golden liquid into the medicine cauldron...

Instantly, a deafening dragon roar resounded from the medicine cauldron.

The next moment, terrifying energy erupted, even breaking through the medicine cauldron and transforming into a golden dragon that soared into the sky.

"This is..." Everyone's expression changed as they felt the pitch-black thunderclouds in the sky.

"Black Demon Lightning, a ninth-grade pill..." Old Monster Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the joy on his face was clearly visible.

"It seems that my Pill Tower is about to gain another ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster!"

As the golden dragon soared into the sky, jet-black lightning instantly descended from the heavens.

Many people were shocked by this scene. If the pills were really hit by this lightning, the pill refining process might fail instantly.

However, to everyone's surprise, the golden dragon, which they had originally regarded as the essence of the pill, actually swallowed the pill lightning whole...

Then, a powerful dragon's might swept across the entire area, and the immense energy within the ancient dragon's blood essence became entangled with the black demonic lightning, subsequently merging into the elixir...

"This is... using Dan Lei to temper the body, Xuan Kongzi is too audacious!" Beside the Grand Elder, an old man dressed in hemp clothes with white hair and beard couldn't help but sigh.

This old man is the Second Elder, one of the two Grandmasters of Ninth-Rank Alchemy originally in the Little Pill Tower.

"Hehe, it's not that he's bold, but rather that all of this was within his expectations. If I'm not mistaken, what Xuan Kongzi just added to the cauldron was a drop of essence blood from a high-level Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan that had reached the ninth rank..."

"Even I rarely see something like this, I never expected that Xuan Kongzi would actually possess it..."

The Second Elder looked on with curiosity upon hearing this.

After all, the Ancient Void Dragon is no ordinary magical beast, and it hasn't officially appeared in Zhongzhou for a long time.

"I've heard that Xuan Kongzi's disciple has a good relationship with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I think that's probably the reason..."

Chapter 427 The Tribulations of the Flower Sect

Having successfully refined a ninth-grade elixir, the outcome of this new elder election is already self-evident.

Moreover, to Ye Chen's surprise, after this alchemy session, Xuan Kongzi's accumulated fighting spirit realm also broke through, directly advancing to the level of a beginner half-saint.

"My Pill Tower has gained another half-saint level expert, this is truly a double blessing!" Ye Chen said happily.

However, the expressions of Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi standing next to him were rather unpleasant...

They can't compete in alchemy, and now they're even far behind in battle qi cultivation. No wonder they're both in a bad mood!

"I'm going back first..." Tian Leizi, whose face was already ashen, seemed to stiffen even more. After leaving those words, he disappeared from the spot.

Ye Chen suppressed a laugh and secretly glanced at Xuan Yi, who hadn't reacted yet...

"What are you looking at!" Xuan Yi glared at them with her beautiful eyes, yelled in annoyance, then turned around, leaving behind a seductive back view. Her calm voice reached the three of them: "I'm going into seclusion now. Ying'er, you'll stay with this little guy Ye Chen. If you have any questions about alchemy, just ask him..."

Watching Xuan Yi's disappearing figure, the three juniors finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After laughing, Cao Ying looked at Ye Chen with sparkling eyes and said sweetly, "Did you hear what the teacher said just now? You'll have to take responsibility from now on..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes at the girl after hearing this, but still said, "No problem, you two can come to me if you have any problems in the future!"

At times like this, it's only right to treat both girls equally, otherwise they'll definitely start arguing.

Moreover, nurturing the two girls is something he will definitely have to do next, because only when they grow up can they provide him with greater assistance.

Of course, the reason why Ye Chen still has time to slowly play the "raising" game is because Zhongzhou will enter a period of peace in the next year or two.

The smooth transfer of power in the Pill Tower, along with the strength Ye Chen displayed, was enough to bring stability to the Pill Domain and even the entire Central Continent.

As for the Soul Palace, which had been secretly plotting, after its last scheme failed, it didn't have much time to deal with the affairs of Zhongzhou.

Because in the coming period, they would have to spend a lot of energy collecting enough souls, and they could not make too much noise in the process, otherwise they might attract the obstruction of forces like the Danta. So they all went into hiding.

However, while the Central Plains were at peace, other wild and untamed regions of the continent suffered.

In remote places like the Northwest Continent, great battles have begun to erupt between various empires and sects. The flames of war have already begun to burn, blood is constantly watering the earth, and lives are quietly slipping away in this environment...

Meanwhile, the Flower Sect was in stark contrast to the tranquility of Zhongzhou.

Although Hei Qing intervened and Yun Yun won the competition, she only wanted peace and quiet and had no intention of taking over as the sect leader of the Flower Sect. So, after the incident, she chose to go into seclusion again.

However, the calamity befell the Flower Sect did not disappear as a result; instead, it erupted prematurely...

Above a sea of ​​flowers, powerful auras stood in mid-air, their chilling killing intent soaring into the sky.

Meanwhile, within the green mountains at the end of the sea of ​​flowers, the Flower Sect's higher-ups had urgently summoned all disciples to defend against an invasion from the outside world.

& nbs

However, when the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect arrived at the sea of ​​flowers with many Flower Sect experts, he was shocked to find his own acting sect leader standing among the other side's crowd, looking like a guide. This immediately enraged him.

"Hua Jin, what exactly is going on?!" the white-haired elder shouted sternly.

Hua Jin's expression was indifferent as she calmly said, "What else could it be? Surely the Grand Elder wouldn't fail to recognize you..."

"Very well, then I will introduce him to the Grand Elder. This is Lord Liu Cang, the Vice Sect Master of the Tianming Sect, and behind him are all the elders of the Tianming Sect."

Upon hearing Liu Cang's name, the Flower Sect's Grand Elder's pupils constricted slightly.

There's no other reason than that Liu Cang's name is quite famous among the top experts in Zhongzhou, because he is a true top expert at the level of a nine-star Dou Zun!

Of course, it's not to say that the Flower Sect doesn't have any Nine-Star Dou Zun experts. Being able to be on par with the Heavenly Nether Sect for so many years shows that the Flower Sect still has a very strong foundation.

Moreover, this is the Flower Sect now, and the people from the Heavenly Nether Sect are not enough to make the Flower Sect fear them.

However, the other party's intentions this time are definitely not good, especially with Hua Jin, who is siding with outsiders. It's possible that the Hua Sect will suffer some losses this time...

"I wonder what brings Vice Sect Master Liu to my Flower Sect?" the First Elder asked calmly and respectfully.

Liu Cang smiled slightly and said casually, "Hehe, I think Elder Hua knows why I came here, doesn't he?"

At the same time, standing next to Liu Cang, a burly man with short, fiery red hair stepped forward and said arrogantly, "I am Crimson Flame Evil Lord. My elder brother, Demon Flower Evil Lord, was killed by your Flower Sect. Today, I am here to avenge my elder brother!"

"Where is that Yun Yun and her lover? Make them come out!"

Upon hearing the words of the Crimson Flame Evil Lord, everyone in the Flower Sect felt a chill in their hearts.

When that burly man slapped the Demon Flower Evil Lord to death, they had already anticipated this scene, but they didn't expect these guys to arrive so quickly, and that Hua Jin would actually bring them directly into the sect's space...

"I think your Tianming Sect should be well aware of the matter of the Demon Flower Evil Lord. If someone is killed in a normal competition, he can only blame his own lack of strength. Does your Tianming Sect dare to come to my Flower Sect to cause trouble over something like this? Do you think my Flower Sect has no one to rely on?!" The Grand Elder spoke with great firmness.

There was nothing that could be done; Hua Jin, the acting sect leader, was no longer a reliable figure. However, as the Grand Elder of the Hua Sect, she absolutely could not disgrace the sect.

"I don't care!" Crimson Flame Evil Lord said directly, "I only know that a life for a life, and a debt for a debt, are timeless truths. My brother was killed, and I must avenge him!"

"Now your Flower Sect only has one choice: hand over the murderer, or we'll go to war!"

Such arrogant words enraged the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect: "This is outrageous! Do you really think the Flower Sect is afraid of you? If you want a fight, then come!"

Above the High Heavens

Just as tensions were running high, Hua Jin suddenly spoke up, saying, "Elder, what you said seems a bit inappropriate... How can a sect war be started so easily?"

“Our Flower Sect has always been kind to others. If we were to ask our sisters to risk their lives just for some outsider, wouldn’t that be taking our lives too lightly? Besides, wouldn’t it be too unjust for us to die in the midst of a battle between two sects?”

Chapter 428 Upper Pill Tower

Hua Jin's words made the Grand Elder's heart sink.

Because of what he had just said, the Grand Elder could clearly feel a slight commotion among the elders behind him.

Clearly, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Hua Jin's character, she had to admit that he still had a great influence in the Hua Sect, and a considerable number of the elders were his supporters.

Moreover, compared to Yun Yun, who has always resisted the position of sect leader, more people are willing to believe Hua Jin.

More importantly, the Flower Sect is, after all, a women's sect. The members are not warlike and are not very willing to fight, especially against a terrifying force like the Heavenly Nether Sect, which is known for its bloodshed and killing.

But no matter what, Yun Yun was the successor personally chosen by the old sect leader, who even gave her the sect leader's token and all his strength...

These elders, who had once followed the old sect leader, had already decided on Yun Yun and chosen to support only her, so naturally they would not hand her over.

Seeing the menacing group from the Heavenly Nether Sect, the Grand Elder was at a loss for what to do.

After a long silence, the Grand Elder decided to stall for time, saying, "I cannot make a decision on this matter. I hope Vice Sect Master Liu can give me some time. At that time, my Flower Sect will give you a satisfactory answer!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Cang's smile widened. He stopped the Crimson Flame Evil Lord, who was still about to shout, and then said, "Alright, I'll give you three days. I hope to hear good news in three days..."

"In that case, we'll take our leave now."

After speaking, Liu Cang led his men away without any hesitation.

As for Hua Jin, who was originally with them, she stayed where she was, glanced at the Grand Elder and the others indifferently, and sneered: "Grand Elder, I hope you can make the right choice and not let the Hua Sect's hundreds of years of foundation be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

Seeing Hua Jin leave without saying a word, and the elders following behind him, the Grand Elder of the Hua Sect knew that things were really going to get serious...

"It seems we have no choice but to ask those two to come out of seclusion..." The elder shook his head bitterly, his aged face filled with helplessness.

Then, in a secluded valley filled with blooming flowers within the Flower Sect, the Flower Sect's Grand Elder, whose figure was somewhat hunched, arrived at the valley entrance leaning on his cane...

"Hua Yue requests an audience with the two Supreme Elders!"

An aged voice echoed through the valley, causing the surrounding flowers to rustle and whisper like countless people.

"Hanazuki? Come in..."

A moment later, a clear female voice came from within the flower valley.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yue, the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect, immediately entered the valley. There, she found two beautiful figures sitting cross-legged among the flowers.

Judging solely from their appearance, few would believe that the two graceful and beautiful women opposite them were actually the elders of the Flower Clan, who were of a higher generation than the aged Hua Yue…

"Tell me, what happened that made you come here?" The woman in the green palace dress spoke first.

"Grand Elder, please forgive me. This is what happened..." The First Elder recounted the events that had occurred over the past few days.

Upon hearing that the Tianming Sect had actually come to their doorstep, the woman in the green palace dress became furious.

"That old bastard Tianmingzi actually dared to send someone to threaten my Flower Sect! Does he really think I'm dead?!"

Listening to her sister's unchanging temper, which hadn't changed in centuries, the woman in the blue palace dress beside her looked helpless and could only say softly, "Sister, please don't be angry. Let's find out what happened first..."

The woman in the green palace dress snorted coldly, suppressing her anger, and said in a cold voice...

He asked, "Who was that burly man who killed the Demon Flower Evil Lord? And what about Yun Yun? Since she was the successor chosen by Senior Sister, why hasn't she taken the position of sect leader yet?"

Hua Yue dared not hide anything and immediately told Yun Yun's thoughts and the choices of some elders in the sect. As for Hei Qing, she really didn't know anything about him.

All we know is that he was a powerful expert invited from Zhongzhou by Yun Yun's disciple...

"Although we don't know the identity of that big, burly man, he was accompanied by a young girl named Ye Xinyue. She is from the Ye family and is the younger sister of Ye Chen, the current president of the Pill Tower!"

The Gene Era

"Who? Ye Chen, the president of the Pill Tower? Who is this? Isn't Xuan Kongzi the president of the Pill Tower?" The woman in the green palace dress was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Hua Yue could only explain, "This Ye Chen is Xuan Kongzi's personal disciple. A month ago, Xuan Kongzi officially announced his resignation and passed the position of president to his disciple Ye Chen."

Moreover, this time the three giants all chose to step down, and Ye Chen is the only successor. Therefore, the Pill Tower now has only one president, and that president is none other than Ye Chen!
