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

Page 156

However, these words cannot be said to Xin Lanming for the time being. After all, although the little girl seems carefree and nonchalant, her pride is no less than anyone else's, and saying them out loud would inevitably hurt her.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, the pride that Ye Xinlan had just developed vanished before it even blossomed.

Conversely, a spirit of never giving up begins to brew within them...

"We must get good results in the assessment this time, and we must not let our brother and the Ye family down!"

The girl secretly made up her mind.

Beside them, the shrewd Song Chun'er and Queen Medusa naturally understood Ye Chen's intentions. Seeing Ye Xinlan's expression at this moment, they also knew that the latter had succeeded in igniting the girl's indomitable spirit.

"Alright, Xinlan, don't think about it too much. Being promoted to a seventh-grade alchemist is a great thing. Just now, we received news from the family that Xinyue has finally returned after playing outside for two years. Let's take this opportunity to go back and celebrate properly..." Song Chun'er interrupted the siblings again and said directly.

"Oh? Xinyue is back already?" Ye Chen smiled.

This girl is something else. Originally, she was just supposed to wander around the Pill Domain, but she unexpectedly ran into Yun Yun, which ultimately forced the Heavenly Fire Venerable, who was secretly protecting her, to step into the limelight.

With a Dou Zun as her bodyguard, the girl's responsibilities grew even heavier, and she didn't return for two whole years...

If Ye Chen hadn't occasionally received news from Venerable Tianhuo about the girl's current situation, the Ye family might have been searching for her by now!

"I heard before that Xinyue was about to break through to the Dou Zong realm. I wonder if she has broken through this time since she came back..."

"Wow! Sister Xinyue is about to reach the Grandmaster level? Does that mean I'll never catch up with her..."

Upon hearing this, Xinlan couldn't help but speak up.

Although she has now become a seventh-grade alchemist, her cultivation level is still only a one-star Dou Huang, which is an important reason why Ye Chen believes that she is inferior to Cao Dan and Qiu Ji.

& nbs

The lack of fighting spirit cultivation also makes Xinlan's soul power a weakness. If it weren't for Ye Chen's strong support behind her, she probably wouldn't be able to become a seventh-grade alchemist now.

Seeing this, Ye Chen glared at the girl with annoyance and said, "Xin Yue specializes in fighting spirit cultivation. How can you, an alchemist, compete with her in fighting spirit?"

"hey-hey……"

"Alright, alright, big brother. Let's go back quickly. I haven't seen Sister Xinyue for so long, I miss her terribly..."

……

……

The sisters were naturally excited to see each other.

Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised that Xin Yue had actually broken through to the Dou Zong level.

A Dou Zong in his early twenties—frankly speaking, his strength is far superior to that of Chen Xian and others from the Xuanming Sect!

Of course, compared to Yi Chen, the young sect leader of the Tianming Sect, who is known as Yi Xiuluo, he is much inferior.

There's no way around it; their upbringing was just too different.

The way the Heavenly Nether Sect trains its disciples is not mysterious to the major powers in Central Continent, but it is extremely bloody and cruel...

Legend has it that each generation of true disciples, after cultivating to a certain level, will enter the sect's forbidden area.

There, these fellow disciples had to fight each other to the death, and only those who finally emerged from the forbidden area would become the true core disciples of the sect.

Moreover, the Heavenly Nether Sect's techniques are extremely cruel and domineering. They can forcibly devour other people's battle qi, and they must devour it along with flesh and blood...

To a normal person, isn't this just cannibalism? How is this any different from those unformed magical beasts!

People who grow up in this environment, it goes without saying, how could they possibly be weak...

"By the way, you said before that you and Han Yue went to the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool again? So you broke through using the energy from that Blood Pool?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

Ye Xinyue nodded honestly and said, "Yes. And that's not all. I also met a junior from Canaan Academy there, a guy named Xiao Yan."

Junior Brother Xiao Yan is quite strong and talented, and he's also an alchemist...

Most importantly, he actually had a deep connection with Venerable Wind of the Starfall Pavilion, to the point that the latter was willing to turn against the Yellow Springs Pavilion for him...

Seeing his talent, this fortunate opportunity, and his status as an alchemist, I invited him to visit the Ye family in the Pill Domain sometime.

This was something Ye Chen had never expected...

My younger sister went out and not only encountered Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, the female protagonists and their master, but she even met the main character.

Moreover, all of these people had become connected to her, meaning they were all indirectly connected to her—it was truly bizarre…

only……

"A sixth-grade peak alchemist of a seven-star Dou Huang? I never expected that even after losing so many opportunities, Xiao Yan could still reach this level on his own. He truly deserves to be the absolute protagonist of the original work."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

Seeing Ye Chen deep in thought, Ye Xinyue suddenly became a little nervous, thinking that her actions had displeased her older brother.

Ye Chen quickly noticed this as well, and immediately put on a smile, saying, "It's alright. Since he's a genius, it would be a good thing for our Ye family to get to know him..."

Chapter 355 The Wrath of the Heavenly Dragon

Although Xiao Yan's appearance surprised Ye Chen slightly, it was not a major issue.

However, this reminded Ye Chen of something, so after secretly giving Queen Medusa a task, she disappeared.

"Hey, where did Sister Butterfly go?" Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but ask after discovering Medusa's disappearance the next day.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "It's nothing, just asked her to do a small favor..."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Ye Chen was then summoned to his study by his father, who inquired about the upcoming assessments of the five major families.

"Are you really sure you want Xinlan to go?"

You could tell from her tone that Ye Lan still lacked confidence in her daughter.

"Father, rest assured, the results of this assessment won't have a significant impact on the Ye family, so it's perfectly appropriate for Xinlan to participate. Besides, with Xinlan's current abilities, she might not necessarily be at the bottom..."

"Alright, it's good that you're confident. Then let you take Xinlan to participate in the assessment this time..."

Ye Chen readily agreed.

With the Pill Gathering approaching, Ye Chen, given his status, would definitely need to return to the Pill Tower, so bringing Xin Yue to participate in the assessment was merely a convenient option.

Although the champion of this year's Pill Gathering did not receive the Three Thousand Burning Flames as a reward, the Pill Tower still went all out, directly offering a scroll of Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill Formula, along with a Soul Skill and a scroll of Soul Cultivation Secret Technique, not to mention countless other precious materials...

The reason why there are no cultivation techniques or fighting skills is that, for alchemists, these things are obviously not as important as the former. If it were a Heaven-rank item, it would not be good to take out too many of them, so the Pill Tower simply omitted them.

"Anyone want to come to Saint Pill City this time?"

In Ye Chen's courtyard, looking at the women around him, Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"I me me!"

A delicate, white hand was raised high and kept waving, as if afraid Ye Chen wouldn't see it.

"Okay, then Qinglin will come with me..."

Looking at the owner of the small hand, Ye Chen readily agreed.

"Hehe, thank you, young master!"

After truly unlocking the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Qinglin's growth rate was astonishing.

Especially after she enslaved many high-bloodline snake-type magical beasts, her cultivation received a special boost.

Although she was the youngest among them, her strength was enough to rank her in the middle, even slightly stronger than Ye Xinyue, who had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm...

It should be noted that two years ago, the latter's cultivation level was much stronger than Qing Lin's.

"Big brother, Sister Han Yue and I also want to go to Saint Pill City to have a look..."

When facing Ye Chen, Ye Xinyue completely lost the lively and unrestrained demeanor she displayed outside, always appearing obedient and docile.

“Sure, this alchemy conference can only be held once every thirty years, it would be good for you all to go and broaden your horizons.”

Seeing that Ye Chen did not refuse, the two women were immediately happy.

Then, Ye Chen's gaze turned to Song Chun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Alita...

Noticing Ye Chen's gaze, Song Chun'er, as the mother, spoke first, saying, "Don't look at me, your old mom isn't in the mood to play with you little rascals..."

"But let Xian'er go with us anyway."

& nbs

"You'll definitely be busy once we get to Saint Pill City, and you won't have much time to take care of these little girls. Having Xian'er with you will make things easier."

The little fairy doctor next to him nodded slightly upon hearing this.

As for Alita, seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was with her, she put aside her previous worries and also expressed that she did not want to go.

After all, she is only a beginner-level Dou Huang. With such limited strength, she is of no use in the Pill Domain except to hold others back. She might as well cultivate honestly in the Misty Valley.

"Alright, in that case, the personnel are settled..."

……

……

After finalizing the list of people who wanted to join in the fun, they didn't set off immediately.

After all, there are still nearly half a year until both the assessment of the five major families and the Pill Gathering, so they don't have the option of traveling.

After returning to his room, Ye Chen also checked his current Star Essence Chart attributes.

Name: Ye Chen

Realm: Four-Star Dou Zun

Star Essence: 800 (10 points can be absorbed each time)

Star Soul: 16 points (Note: Special hidden Star Soul, primary Fire, secondary Wood.)

精：1400；气：1350；神：2100（+155）；速：680；力：1300；技：400；控魂：350（+50）；控火：300

Flame: Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire (formed by the fusion of Three Thousand Blazing Flames and Starfire)

Star Chart: Starry Sky Dragon (Three Thousand Blazing Fire Spirit)

星域图，龙首星域（内含16位星宫，已点亮16位星宫）、左前龙爪（内含11位星宫）、右前龙爪（内含11位星宫）、左后龙爪（内含11位星宫）、右后龙爪（内含11位星宫）、龙尾（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·前（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·中（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·后（内含12位星宫）

Star Domain Skill: Dragon Head - Heavenly Dragon's Wrath, High-level Heavenly Rank (cannot be upgraded), summons the true form of the Heavenly Dragon, and attacks all targets with a terrifying dragon's rage. All people and objects affected by the sound waves will be reduced to dust, including their souls and energy.

Note: Using Star Domain Skills will directly consume all Star Power in the Star Domain. Until the Star Power is replenished, all skills in this Star Domain will be on cooldown.

Star Orbit Skill: Dragon Devour, Intermediate Heaven Rank (cannot be upgraded), after casting, it can summon an angry dragon head, which will devour everything it touches.

When star fields and star tracks are connected, star track skills can be generated; when the same star field is fully upgraded, star field skills can be obtained.

These are the attributes Ye Chen obtained three months ago after he finally lit up all sixteen star palaces in the Dragon Head Star Region.

Finally, the Star Domain Technique that Ye Chen had been longing for appeared, and its terrifying power did not disappoint him in the slightest.

The advanced Heavenly Rank can be considered the highest level of all cultivation techniques and fighting skills in the entire Dou Qi Continent at this stage. As for the Dou Di level fighting skills above that, Ye Chen feels that he can only see them after he breaks through to the Dou Di level...

However, although this Star Domain Technique is terrifyingly powerful, the conditions for its execution are quite demanding, requiring the consumption of all the star power within the entire Star Domain!

In this way, the Star Domain Technique can only be used as a last resort, and cannot be used for normal combat like the Star Orbit Technique.

This is actually quite good, since neither Star Track Technique nor Star Domain Technique consumes his battle qi, which gives Ye Chen a huge advantage in battle.

If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you can instantly unleash two Dragon Devour attacks, which are comparable to mid-level Heaven-rank combat skills. I'm afraid no one can withstand that!

Chapter 356 Ye Chen and Xiao Yan's Meeting

Over the course of more than a year, although he didn't absorb star power every day, Ye Chen didn't slack off and directly accumulated 3,500 points of star essence.

Lighting up the next four star palaces consumed 2,700 points of star essence. Ye Chen did not use the remaining 800 points for the time being, mainly because he wanted to save some as a trump card and as a source of quick replenishment of star power after using star domain techniques.

Of course, besides that, illuminating the remaining star fields is also very important. The Star Chart's bonus played a decisive role in enabling me to directly increase my cultivation level by one star within a year solely through cultivation!

Once his "divine" attribute exceeded two thousand, Ye Chen suddenly sensed a change in his soul...

Although the amount of soul power does not determine the realm of the soul, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. If the soul power is accumulated infinitely, Ye Chen is confident that he can forcefully push his soul realm to the Heavenly Realm with his terrifying soul power.

Over the next few days, the Ye family gradually quieted down.

On this day, a young man in black emerged from the wormhole of Ye City. Looking at the colossal city in the distance, which resembled a prehistoric beast, he couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is Ye City? It's far more magnificent than any other city I've seen along the way!"

Three months ago, Xiao Yan encountered Venerable Feng, a former close friend of his teacher...
