"Stop talking nonsense! The one who wants to keep on eating the food is yourself, right? Don't bully Yuan Fei for being honest!" Ye Yuan taunted with a smile.
"Cough, cough . . . Big Brother, can't you just let me be happy for a while? Alright, alright, I know that we both owe it all to you, okay?" White Light said helplessly.
"Good that you know! Alright. This matter brooks no delay. I'm going to start refining pills. You guys help to guard me by the side," Ye Yuan said.
The Demon Manor Pill was a Tier 3 demonic pill. It was not much of a challenge to Ye Yuan, and he finished refining it very soon.
The instant that Yuan Fei took the Demon Manor Pill, he was so agitated that he could not speak; he was stammering for some time, stifling until Yuan Fei's face was black with a touch of red, getting ridiculed by White Light.
"Hahaha! Old Yuan, one Demon Manor Pill can make you agitated until like this! Such a good for nothing!" White Light burst into laughter.
Being interrupted by White Light like this, Yuan Fei cooled down a little instead. "You this brat's bloodline is invincible. How can you know the significance of the Demon Manor Pill to me? Making irresponsible and sarcastic remarks when you don't understand my plight!"
White Light laughed and said, "Following Big Brother, this is just the beginning! Don't talk about a puny little Demon Manor Pill. So what if it's a Shapeshifting Pill? You're like this now; wait until Big Brother refines a Shapeshifting Pill for you. Wouldn't you be so agitated that you would breathe your last? Haha, then that would be fun."
Hearing White Light's words, Yuan Fei could not help shuddering.
Shapeshifting Pill!
He had truly never thought that he would one day successfully shapeshift and advance to a Tier 5 demonic beast?
Tier 5 demonic beasts, which was also a sovereign level demonic beast. It was another beginning to demonic beasts.
But now, he was about to step into the ranks of Tier 4 demonic beasts. Would Tier 5 . . . still be far away?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What White Light said is right. It's just a Demon Manor Pill. You don't have to be so agitated, Yuan Fei. Do you still remember what I said to you before? Tier 5 Demon Sovereign, Tier 6 Demon Ancestor, are all nothing difficult."
Yuan Fei's emotions finally calmed down a little. He clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "Yuan Fei understands! Encountering Young Master is Yuan Fei's greatest fortune in this lifetime!"
Yuan Fei naturally would not forget the words that Ye Yuan said back then. At that time, Ye Yuan was still just an Essence Qi Realm youth. Opening his mouth to say Tier 5, Tier 6, Yuan Fei still more or less doubted it.
But, a year's time had passed. That Essence Qi Realm youth already grew into a Crystal Formation Realm expert!
Yuan Fei only knew what a fortunate thing it was to encounter Ye Yuan back then in retrospect!
"Haha. What are we still talking about these between us for? You make your preparations. Make use of this one month to break through to Tier 4," Ye Yuan said with a big laugh.
Yuan Fei acknowledged and went to another place to enter seclusion.
When Yuan Fei left, Ye Yuan put out all the medicinal herbs in the storage ring. The originally sparse and empty room immediately became full.
"Big Brother, there are so many medicinal herbs. How do you plan on refining?" White Light asked curiously.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's refining all of them together!"
As he said, all the essence energy in his body seethed, firing one seal after another into the Square Cauldron!
The Square Cauldron initially looked like a metallic product. But at this time, it actually lit up gradually under Ye Yuan's seals!
That appearance actually looked like a divine object, dumbfounding White Light who was watching.
After over a dozen breaths, Ye Yuan was also exhausted until he panted heavily, while the Square Cauldron's luster gradually stabilized too.
"Huff . . . With my present strength, activating an array formation inside a profound artifact is also so taxing!" said Ye Yuan powerly, while swallowing a Condensed Fragrance Pill.
"Wow! This huge cauldron looks so impressive! Big Brother, what you doing here?" White Light asked doubtfully.
Although this treasure was found by him, he was utterly clueless about the functions of this treasure and was filled with curiosity.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You look properly!"
Only to see his essence energy seethe once again. A large pile of medicinal herbs actually flew inside the Square Cauldron just like that!
The next instant, the Square Cauldron gave off an immense brilliance, releasing a dazzling radiance from the mouth of the cauldron. It was also uncertain what was happening inside the cauldron.
After 15 minutes, the radiance dissipated. The Square Cauldron returned to normal again.
White Light was very nosy and scurried to the mouth of the cauldron right away, a pair of tiger eyes becoming wide saucers.
"This . . . This . . . Is this all medicinal embryos? My God, how did you do it?" White Light exclaimed in shock.
"Haha, it wasn't done by me. It was this profound artifact's own array formation. As long as one activates the array formation, it can automatically extract and refine medicinal embryos!" Ye Yuan explained.
"So amazing? Hehe, indeed, the treasures that I find are extraordinary!" White Light flattered himself again.
"But so many medicinal embryos, you aren't planning on refining them all at once as well, right?" White Light suddenly asked again.
"Of course. How troublesome is it to refine one by one?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Tsk tsk, I'm really curious about Big Brother's origins. Your alchemy skills completely roll over the Lower Realm alchemists! That Shi Haoran's strength already seems to be very strong, but it isn't even enough to refine so many medicinal pills in a month's time. You're only at the Alchemy Grandmaster Realm and can actually refine so many Tier 3 medicinal pills in minutes. Simply heaven-defying!" White Light sighed with admiration.
"Haha, of course I have some background. When the time comes, I'll naturally tell you. As for now, don't inquire too much," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
Not that Ye Yuan did not trust White Light, but this road to revenge of his was too arduous. A single misstep and it would be the outcome of eternal damnation.
He did not even have any guarantee whether or not he could succeed in the end, so he did not wish to drag the innocent White Light in.
"Fine then, fine then. I won't inquire!" White Light curled his mouth and said.
After Ye Yuan regulated his breathing for a while and his essence energy recovered to the peak condition, he started refining.
The medicinal pill that he was refining this time was called Jade Spirit Pill. It was naturally a medicinal pill used for raising essence energy.
The effects of this medicinal pill compared to the ones used by ordinary Lower Realm martial artists was way higher.
The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame spat out lightly, instantly igniting the Square Cauldron!
But sadly, with Ye Yuan's current strength, he simply had no way of unleashing the full functions of the Square Cauldron. Otherwise, he completely did not need to waste strength to refine this batch of medicinal pills.
He was sill using the Tri-Origins Samsara Art!
Following one seal after another being struck into the Square Cauldron, the body of the cauldron radiated splendor once again!
Chapter 406. Yuan Fei Breaks Through! |
"Condense for me!"
Ye Yuan gave a light cry. The Square Cauldron's radiance gradually dimmed, recovering back to a metal lump.
After finishing the refinement, Ye Yuan plopped onto the ground.
Such a refinement was a tremendous test to both soul force and essence energy. There was basically nobody who could accomplish it in the Lower Realms!
Only an existence like Ye Yuan whose control of soul force and essence energy wa
s brilliant to the pinnacle could complete a refinement like this.
"Big Brother, i-it's done like this?" White Light asked in surprise.
"Still . . . Still not done? Do you . . . want to tire me to death?" Ye Yuan said crossly.
"Cough, cough, I didn't mean that. But . . . this is only half a day's time!" White Light felt like the scene before his eyes was not quite real.
After breaking through to Tier 3, White Light awakened inherited memories and had a much greater understanding of this world.
In his inherited memories was knowledge on the aspects of alchemy.
Refining so many medicinal pills was absolutely a colossal project. But Ye Yuan completed it in half a day's time!
After resting for a bit, Ye Yuan finally caught his breath and said, "My present strength is still too weak. If I have Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm strength, refining these toys can be done in two hours."
White Light gave a low roar and said scornfully, "You're indeed a freak!"
Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Go help me take a look. How's the quality of the medicinal pills? My realm breakthrough this time is all on these toys."
White Light scurried over to take a look. Inside the Square Cauldron was full of medicinal pills, probably hundreds!
He observed those medicinal pills closely and was filled with astoundment in his heart.
"How is it?" Ye Yuan asked impatiently.
"You're indeed a freak. Refining pills like this, and it still resulted to such high quality! The vast majority inside is all high-grade medicinal pills. There is still quite a fair portion which is superior-grade. Only a very tiny portion is middle-grade!"
"Hah! Not even one transcendent-grade! Fail!" Ye Yuan said with a sigh.
"Transcendent-grade . . . These are Tier 3 medicinal pills!" White Light was thoroughly defeated.
Actually, the refinement this time, Ye Yuan's greatest drawback was still essence energy.
A refinement like this was a tremendous test of the alchemist's essence energy. Without late-stage Crystal Formation Realm essence energy, it was very hard to sustain.
Only Ye Yuan's way of splitting one portion of essence energy into two halves to use could support his refinement to succeed. If there were even a trace of waste, it would also not be possible to have the present results.
"Alright. I'll recover my strength first. You play by yourself. Wait until I break through to late-stage Crystal Formation Realm, then I'll help you refine Demon Crystal Pills," Ye Yuan said feebly.
White Light was overjoyed upon hearing it and said, "Haha! It's indeed Big Brother who dotes on me! Little Brother, I, will definitely break through to Tier 4 quickly. At that time, I'll protect Big Brother!"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "It will be pretty good if you don't drag me down!"
While he said that verbally, Ye Yuan knew that White Light's strength could not be underestimated.
Previously, when facing off against Zhao Chenggan, White Light actually wounded the Sea Transformation Realm Zhao Chenggan with Tier 2 strength. His might could be seen at a glance.
If White Light had Tier 4 strength, dealing with Zhao Chenggan should be a cinch!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that White Light would explode with extraordinary strength under certain special conditions. His speed would be unbelievably quick!
Regarding that final strike against Zhao Chenggan, even he did not see clearly what happened!
Also, when White Light's mother was on her deathbed, White Light dealing with the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python was like so too.
Looking at this, White Light's strength indeed could not be underestimated.
. . . . . .
The second day. Ye Yuan already recovered to his optimal condition and prepared to break through!
He casually grabbed a bunch of Jade Spirit Pills and directly stuffed them into his mouth!
At the same time, Ye Yuan started to revolve the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Their medicinal properties were rapidly refined, flowing into the dantian!
The small crystal in Ye Yuan's dantian continuously expanded!
After a day, Ye Yuan directly broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm!
Another three days passed, Ye Yuan's momentum met no resistance the entire way, directly smashing the barrier between early-stage Crystal Formation Realm and middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm, breaking through to Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm!
. . . . . .
Time flowed like water. In a twinkle, a month had passed.
On this day, the essence energy inside another secret room surged and was abnormally violent!
"Haha, Yuan Fei has divine beast bloodline when all is said and done. His talent is actually not poor. It's just that the Lower Realm's resources and environment made it very hard for him to mature," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
"Tch. Isn't it just breaking through to a Tier 4? What's the big deal? As long as I have Big Brother providing Demon Crystal Pills, I can surely break through to Tier 4 within half a year!" White Light said disdainfully.
Ye Yuan was speechless. This fellow said it as if he owed him.
"I say, don't you feel ashamed? Yuan Fei's improvement speed is indeed inferior to yours, but he didn't spend much time to break through from middle-stage Tier 3 to peak Tier 3 either! If you didn't have the support of medicinal pills, you might not even be faster than him!" Ye Yuan said huffily.
"Cough, cough. This tiger is a descendant of the Four Great Divine Beasts. How can a stone ape with a dilute bloodline be compared with me? If he has the capabilities, you make him not eat medicinal pills and compare cultivation speed with me!"
". . . . . ."
"Heh heh, actually, talking about improvement speed, we can't catch up to Big Brother even if we whipped our horses! In a month, you already broke through four realms consecutively, reaching the peak Sixth Level Crystal Formation Realm!"
Although White Light saying these words looked a little like licking his boots, he was really very astonished in his heart.
Ye Yuan's bloodline did not have any special aspects; his body was not even the most ordinary spirit physique. But Ye Yuan's breakthrough speed was not any bit slower than him, a divine beast progeny.
This was the most freakish!
While they were talking, the dulation of essence energy at the other secret room already calmed down. Yuan Fei walked out of the secret room.
The aura of Yuan Fei who broke through to Tier 4 was already completely different!
It was only to see him conceal his splendor inwards with not a trace of essence energy escaping his body. One clearly could not sense his essence energy, but it gave people an extremely powerful feeling!
This was still him just after breaking through a realm and not able to release and withdraw it as he pleased. Wait until he finished consolidating his realm, that sort of soul-stirring threatening force would not emanate out, and he would look no different from ordinary demonic beasts.
Yuan Fei was similarly a divine beast descendant. After breaking through to Tier 4, it was equivalent to stepping into the middle of the Three Realms. His divine beast bloodline would also trigger; his combat strength became exceedingly formidable.
The stone ape clan was originally extremely skillful at fighting. Their combat strength even far surpassed same-rank demonic beasts!
It was just that Yuan Fei's divine beast bloodline was not activated in the past and was unable to unleash shocking combat strength.
"Haha! Old Yuan, how's the feeling of breaking through to Tier 4? Looking at your appearance, it's like you're going to totally destroy the room!" White Light said with a laugh.
He and Yuan Fei were old friends already too. Seeing Yuan Fei broke through, he was naturally very happy as well.
But Yuan Fei gave a silly smile and said, "Just broke through. Essence energy is still unable to be controlled freely. I've incurred Young Master's ridicule. But the feeling of breaki
ng through to Tier 4 is truly excellent! I feel like my entire body is filled with strength and that I can punch through a mountain in one fist!"
Evidently, breaking through to Tier 4 made Yuan Fei very excited.
After all, this was something he simply could not imagine before meeting Ye Yuan!
Chapter 407. It's Because I'm Scared That Foundation Will Be Unstable |
"Haha, looks like your divine beast bloodline awakened!" Ye Yuan saw through Yuan Fei's transformation and said with a laugh.
"Young Master has good eyes! After breaking through to Tier 4, I've awakened another part of inherited memories. Furthermore, I feel an extremely powerful bloodline strength hidden inside my body!" Yuan Fei said with joy.
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed worthy of being the Equals Heaven Sage Ape's progeny. As long as you can draw out this bloodline strength, you'll surely be an extremely formidable existence in the future!"
After a moment, Yuan Fei calmed down from basking in his joy and suddenly realized something not quite right.
"En?" Yuan Fei gradually went from pleasantly surprised to astonishment.
"Haha, Old Yuan's reaction is really slow, only noticing now that something was off! You only broke through one level in a month's time. Big Brother is going to break through the fifth level very soon and advance to the late-stage Crystal Formation Realm!" White Light said in derision.
Yuan Fei was filled with shock. Breaking through five levels in a month's time?
Ye Yuan was at the Crystal Formation Realm now, not the Essence Qi Realm or Spirit Condensation Realm back then!
Wasn't such a breakthrough speed overly terrifying?
Actually, logically speaking, the difficulty of this level that Yuan Fei broke through was far more challenging compared to Ye Yuan's five levels added up.
But the problem was that the time used was too short!
To some ordinary martial artists, a month's time was just barely enough for them to use to consolidate their realm.
Even for those genius martial artists, wanting to break through a level in a month, that was something impossible!
