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

Page 337

Since passing the Little Pill Tower's assessment, Ye Chen has become a candidate for a Pill Tower giant in name and in fact, with a status above the eight elders. Moreover, this old man is just a steward elder, so it is only natural that he should come to pay his respects.

"Elder Han Li, you're too polite. You and my grandfather are close friends, so there's no need for us to be so formal..." Ye Chen quickly returned the greeting with a smile.

Although Ye Chen's current status is much higher than the other party's, he has never become arrogant because of it, and still treats those who were once on good terms with the Ye family with courtesy.

Han Li was naturally very pleased with this, but he still insisted on observing proper etiquette before standing up and saying, "Hehe, etiquette should not be neglected..."

Upon hearing that Ye Chen was going to lead a group for the assessment, Han Li immediately smiled and said, "That's easy, Young Master, you can come with me..."

Upon entering a spacious and quiet room, Ye Chen glanced around and noticed several young people waiting quietly, who were also looking over.

These are people who were assessed through special connections; this exists at every assessment point.

However, although Ye Chen had a great reputation, these young people might not actually recognize him. So when they saw that he was personally welcomed in by Han Li, the elder of the Pill Tower, they all became curious.

Of course, just because they didn't know him didn't mean their elders didn't. Upon seeing Ye Chen, many people were immediately surprised, and regardless of whether Ye Chen knew him or not, they all hurried over to pay their respects.

Ye Chen glanced at these people and realized he didn't recognize any of them. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he fell silent.

lt;/p>

Seeing this, the others tactfully left, quietly waiting for the two people Ye Chen brought to be given priority in the assessment...

Xiao Yan watched all of this silently until he and Ye Xinlan entered the assessment room under Han Li's guidance.

If his previous understanding of Ye Chen was based on rumors, now he truly felt the former's status in the Pill Tower and even in the Pill Domain.

"If I could reach that level, how could I not rescue my teacher and father!"

Clenching his fist, Xiao Yan felt an even greater surge of ambition...

Watching the two figures disappear, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

In the original novel, the Pill Gathering was the beginning of Xiao Yan's true rise to fame in Zhongzhou, and also the time when he truly began to rival the Soul Palace.

But those prerequisites weren't just that he found Venerable Wind, but more importantly, that he became the champion of the Pill Refining Competition and an eighth-grade alchemy master...

It was precisely because of his reputation as the champion of the Pill Gathering and his strength as an eighth-grade alchemist that countless powerful figures were willing to obey his commands, and that the giants of the Pill Tower looked at him with special regard.

Without these advantages, Xiao Yan would probably have been wiped out by the Soul Palace from the very beginning, and wouldn't have had so much time to grow.

However, Xiao Yan in this life is much weaker than in the original story. Not only does he no longer have the strange fire to protect him, but his alchemy skills are also completely incomparable to those in the original story.

It was precisely because Ye Chen saw this that he helped him regardless of the consequences...

However, since his relationship with Xiao Yan was superficial, his help was limited. Otherwise, going too far might backfire. Therefore, if he wanted Xiao Yan to step up, he would need to find another way.

Time passed slowly. Although Ye Chen didn't put too much pressure on the two of them, the others didn't think so...

They were very curious about just how talented these two young people were who Ye Chen had personally brought to participate in the assessment!

Half an hour later, the tightly closed testing room finally opened slowly with a slight creaking sound...

Seeing that there was finally a response, everyone in the room perked up, and their gazes instantly fixed on the door.

The door opened, and Han Li walked out first, followed by Xin Yue, who looked overjoyed, and Xiao Yan, who looked indifferent.

Ye Chen glanced at the badges on their chests...

The badge is dark gold in color, with flames swirling around it. Within the flames is a colossal tower reaching the sky, and on the tower, seven dazzling purple-gold stars shimmer, although the seventh star is now slightly dim.

Are they both mid-level seventh-grade alchemists?

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at Xin Lan, who was beaming with excitement. Clearly, the little girl was also very pleasantly surprised to have passed the intermediate seventh-grade assessment.

"Young Master, this young friend Xiao Yan's talent for alchemy is truly exceptional. Judging from his alchemy skills, the seventh-grade intermediate level is probably not his highest level yet. Perhaps we should send him to headquarters for the assessment..."

Han Li, who was walking in front, said to Ye Chen with a solemn expression.

Chapter 638 Reporting the News

Within the shattered ancient sacred abyss, four streaks of light streaked across the sky, hurtling toward a certain point in the void.

Due to the spacetime storm, everyone in the Ancient Sacred Abyss can only travel by flying and dares not use spatial power recklessly.

Before a massive spatial rift, Liu Guang stopped, and then Ye Qiu, Qing Xuan, and the others appeared.

"Judging from the information, this should be the place, but it seems that the information is outdated. There are no traces of ruins left here at all." After carefully searching the surrounding area, Ye Qiu frowned.

Qingxuan looked slightly disappointed, after all, this was the third location they had visited, but they still hadn't found anything.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu chuckled and comforted him, "You don't need to be disappointed. Perhaps the time for the Floating Buddha Ancestor's relics to appear has not yet come..."

"Moreover, if we can't find it with such detailed information, then others can forget about it either, so there's no need to worry about the Xuanmai and Momai succeeding."

Even so, Ye Qiu himself had many doubts.

They had already explored many places within this ancient sacred abyss, not only the ruins of the Floating Buddha Ancestor, but also the information about the Spear Ancestor's ruins that Ye Qiu knew, but none of it was accurate. This matter was definitely not simple.

Ye Qiu didn't believe that someone like Qin Tian would use false information to deceive his father, and since he dared to say it, he must have some confidence in it.

In the end, he still found nothing. The only explanation is that in the time between when the other party received the news and when he came to search, these ruins had changed locations!

This made Ye Qiu realize the seriousness of the situation even more, because such a rapid and extensive relocation did not conform to the usual patterns of movement of the Four Sacred Relics.

Something must have happened in the ancient sacred abyss that they are unaware of.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu looked at the three of them with a serious expression and said, "Let's go, let's go and take a look at other places!"

Seeing Ye Qiu suddenly become serious, Qingxuan and the other two nodded solemnly, even though they didn't know what he was thinking.

Afterwards, the four of them circled around the Ancient Sacred Abyss several times, verifying all the information they knew about the Four Sacred Relics, which further confirmed Ye Qiu's guess.

"The movement speed of the Four Sacred Relics is increasing, and it all started simultaneously..."

This is strange... Although the Four Saints have all perished, how could the consciousness of a Saint-level Heavenly Sovereign be so easily lost? Just look at the Heavenly Emperor in the Ancient Heavenly Palace to see this.

If that's the case, then the simultaneous changes to these four sacred ruins are very likely related to the four saints...

"It seems this matter is beyond our control. Let's report it and see what the Great Thousand Palace has to say..." Ye Qiu said.

Qingxuan nodded. Although she was somewhat disappointed that she had gained nothing from the Ancient Sacred Abyss this time, she knew that things had priorities and that Qingxuan was clear about what was important and what was urgent.

The four of them simultaneously crushed the spatial jade slips in their hands, and then appeared in the Holy Abyss Continent.

However, because Qingxuan's spatial jade slip was not given by Caidie, she appeared in a different location than Ye Qiu and the others, but the two had already agreed to meet at Daqian Tower.

"Why are you out so early? What happened?" Sensing Ye Qiu and the others' presence, Cai Die immediately appeared in front of them.

"Auntie, we've discovered a big problem. Let's go to Daqian Tower first..." Ye Qiu said somewhat anxiously.

Although she was a little surprised, Cai Die nodded. She knew that although Ye Qiu was a bit mischievous, he was very steady when it came to important matters.

The Daqian Tower remains the same as before, but it seems a bit quieter than when I last visited.

After all, with the appearance of the ancient Sacred Abyss, everyone rushed in with their own purposes, so Sacred Abyss City was bound to fall silent.

"Ye Qiu, you've arrived..."

Upon seeing the person approaching quickly, Qingxuan was initially delighted, but then, upon seeing the stunningly beautiful figure following behind, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Are there really women this beautiful in the world?

Qingxuan asked herself this question in her heart, and then, thinking about herself, she felt somewhat ashamed of herself.

When this unprecedented thought suddenly appeared in her mind, Qingxuan was startled.

Ye Qiu failed to notice the change in the woman's mind. On the contrary, Cai Die's alluring purple eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, causing Qing Xuan to lower her head involuntarily.

"Could this woman be Qiu'er's sweetheart?" Cai Die was slightly surprised. She had only been out for a short time, yet she had already encountered the girl she was attracted to.

As expected of that bastard's son...

Their gazes swept over Qingmo and his companion behind them, and then the two brothers subtly nodded to Caidie, indicating that it was exactly as she had thought...

"Qiu'er, aren't you going to introduce her to your aunt?" Seeing that the woman seemed to have misunderstood something, Cai Die spoke up calmly.

Qiu'er?

Aunt?

Upon hearing these two titles, Qingxuan immediately showed a surprised expression, and then her whole demeanor brightened...

"Oh, Auntie, this is Qingxuan. She is from the Qing lineage of the Futu Ancient Clan. She also contributed to what we discovered in the Ancient Sacred Abyss this time." Ye Qiu, unaware of the sudden changes around him, introduced her to Caidie with a smile.

Cai Die nodded, then her expression softened, and she said gently, "This is Ye Qiu's first time going out, so he lacks experience. I'll have to trouble Miss Qingxuan to take care of him."

Ye Qiu was completely dumbfounded. What did he mean by "first time going out"? What did he mean by "lacking experience"? How could you, Aunt, fabricate such a brilliant image of me?

Hearing the woman in front of her, who looked to be about the same age but was even more beautiful than herself, speak in such a senior-like tone, Qingxuan immediately felt a strong sense of incongruity. She then tried hard to suppress the rapid beating of her heart and said softly, "Senior, you flatter me. Ye Qiu has always been helping me in the Ancient Sacred Abyss..."

Cai Die suddenly realized, then glanced at the boy next to her. It seemed that this had been planned all along and that he had already begun to make his move.

"Well...should we take care of the important business first, and then you can talk?" Ye Qiu sensed that Aunt Cai Die's gaze was a little strange, and asked weakly.

This scene amused Qingxuan, since this guy had always either acted like a rogue or exuded domineering arrogance in front of her before, but he had never been so genuine as he was now.

“Alright, I’m also curious to know what important situation you discovered that made you abandon your exploration of the Ancient Sacred Abyss…” Cai Die nodded, then took the lead and headed into the Great Thousand Tower.

Inside the Daqian Building, Elder Wanfeng, who had been dozing off at the counter, was both curious and troubled when he saw this group of people.

Why is this old lady here again? He's extremely annoyed by women he can't afford to offend who are also unreasonable.

My head is throbbing...

"Hehe, Madam Caidie, I wonder what brings you to Daqian Tower at this hour?"

The subtext of this statement is: Why don't you guys go to the Ancient Sacred Abyss to try your luck at a time like this? Why do you always come to my territory?

Cai Die's expression remained calm as she said, "Don't ask me, it was Qiu'er who came to see you this time..."

Elder Wanfeng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ye Qiu and asked curiously, "Then what business does the young palace master have with me?"

Young Palace Master...

This title made Qingxuan pause for a moment, and then she was finally 90% sure that this guy's identity was as she had guessed.

"You're actually that person's son...?"

In the past, before her father disappeared, Qingxuan's status was considered to be a good match for Ye Qiu. But now, would she still be recognized by such a powerful person?

Qingxuan felt even more uneasy.

"Elder Wanfeng, it's like this..."

Ye Qiu didn't hide anything and recounted what had happened to them in the Ancient Sacred Abyss, including his own speculations...

"The Four Sacred Relics are moving at an accelerated pace at the same time, are you sure?!" After hearing the details, Wan Feng immediately became serious.

Ye Qiu nodded, "This is the result of our extensive investigation!"

Wan Feng pondered for a moment. Given Ye Qiu's status, he certainly wouldn't be joking about this, which meant that it was probably true...

"It seems things are really serious..."

Wan Feng pondered for a long time, then sighed.

Seeing Ye Qiu looking at him, Elder Wanfeng thought for a moment and explained, "Young Palace Master should know that after the four ancestors fell, there were remnants of their will within their ruins, right?"

Ye Qiu nodded. That was for sure. With the terrifying cultivation of those four ancestors, their remaining will was probably comparable to that of an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign.

Wan Feng continued, "Although the consciousness of these four ancestors is usually in a deep sleep, they still have some awareness of the outside world."

“Normally, these ruins just wander aimlessly within the Ancient Sacred Abyss, but if for some reason they attract the attention of the four ancestors, then they might take the initiative to control those ruins to act on their own…”

"According to the young palace master, all four ruins have undergone changes. The only explanation is that the four ancestors are intentionally controlling them, and they may very well meet one day in the future!"

"But...why would they do this? Could it be that they want to have a reunion with old friends?"

boom!

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, he felt a hard knock on his forehead.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cai Die scolded the brat, somewhat speechless. He didn't even consider the atmosphere before acting so cheekily.

Elder Wanfeng secretly shook his head, deciding not to stoop to the level of this little fellow, and said, "Since the four ancestors can detect the outside world, there is probably only one possibility in the Ancient Sacred Abyss that could attract them to act together..."

Upon hearing Elder Wanfeng's words, Ye Qiu abandoned his playful intentions, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Then the four fallen Heavenly Demon Emperors."

Even the colorful butterfly couldn't help but become serious this time.

It should be noted that those suppressed by the four ancestors were no ordinary individuals; they were four top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors, far stronger than the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Blood Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
