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

Page 126

Two hours later, Ye Xinyue finally finished her cultivation. As Ye Chen had predicted, her cultivation level remained at the Seven-Star Dou Wang level.

This made Zi Yan, who was standing next to her, a little unhappy. She secretly decided that once she got out, she would find a place to swallow those three pills and improve her cultivation level!

"Let's go, we should get out of here..."

With the two women in tow, Ye Chen raised his hand and tore apart the surrounding space, then took one in each hand and stepped into it.

……

……

Outside, Su Qian, still blocked from entering by Little Fairy Doctor, looked anxious. The longer the time went on, the more he felt that the Fallen Heart Flame in the inner courtyard was definitely doomed.

I can only hope that Ye Chen will spare the matter out of consideration for our past relationship and leave the inner courtyard a way out...

Chapter 288 A World Apart

When Su Qian saw Ye Chen dragging two girls out of the void, her angry gaze immediately locked onto the two culprits.

Unfortunately, this gaze had no effect on the two women at all. In fact, Zi Yan even curled her lip in disdain at him, which made Su Qian furious.

Ye Chen smiled slightly upon seeing this and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Grandpa Su, it's been many years. How have you been?"

Su Qian opened her mouth, looking at the smiling young man in front of her, wanting to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.

"Okay... um, it's alright..."

With a forced smile, Su Qian mumbled two incoherent words.

He was actually doing quite well before. Although his strength hadn't improved much over the years, he was very gratified to see the inner courtyard thriving.

Unfortunately, everything was shattered by what happened today!

"Ahem, um, Ye Chen, I wonder what happened to you down there?" Facing a young man who addressed him as "Grandpa Su," and who was also a powerful figure far stronger than himself, Su Qian found it difficult to speak directly.

However, Ye Chen was very perceptive, feigning realization, and said, "Oh, Grandpa Su, you want to ask about the Fallen Heart Flame down there, right?"

Su Qian nodded somewhat awkwardly. This kid had absolutely no sense of tact...

With a flick of his wrist, Ye Chen retrieved the palm-sized Fallen Heart Flame "child," and said apologetically, "Grandpa Su, I'm so sorry. When I arrived, I just saw this Fallen Heart Flame about to kill Xin Yue and the other girl, so I hit it a little too hard and hurt it a bit too badly..."

Pressing on the Fallen Heart Flame floating in the air, Su Qian's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're saying this is the Fallen Heart Flame?!"

Although he carefully sensed it, and this seemingly weak flame did indeed possess the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame's original flame, the difference between the two was still quite significant.

However, compared to Su Qian, the inner court elders around him were all beaming with joy...

"This is wonderful! The Fallen Heart Flame was originally untamed and wild, and we had to worry about it going berserk and threatening the safety of the inner courtyard. Now that Young Master Ye has dispersed its spirituality, we no longer have to worry about it causing trouble!" Elder Liu, who was in charge of guarding the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, said excitedly.

His statement was also agreed upon by the other elders.

Although Su Qian felt that something was wrong, he couldn't see anything wrong with the strange fire in front of him except that it was a little weak, so in the end he could only accept everything Ye Chen said.

"Hehe, thank you so much. You've solved a huge problem for our inner courtyard." Su Qian said to Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen waved his hands repeatedly, looking like a humble young master, and said, "Grandpa Su and all the elders are too kind. Ye Chen did it casually. As long as you don't blame Ye Chen for going too far, that's fine."

Beside her, the guileless Zi Yan's eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open, and the Qingyuan Fruit she was putting into her mouth fell to the ground.

Clearly, Ye Chen's actions had utterly shocked the little girl. She simply couldn't understand it. This guy had allowed her sister to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame, yet the old man and the others were thanking him with expressions of gratitude. What was wrong with this world?!

Ye Chen glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye, to prevent

The little girl gave herself away, and Ye Chen silently raised a finger...

"A bottle of Instant Qi Pills!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly wiped her mouth, then secretly stuck out two white little fingers.

"Two bottles?"

Ye Chen glared at him and gestured, "Don't be too greedy, just one bottle!"

Fearing the other party might kill her in the end, Zi Yan quickly nodded. One bottle it is, I can always finish it myself and then ask Ye Xinyue for more...

In Zi Yan's mind, Ye Xinyue, who had always been kind to her, was obviously easier to talk to than Ye Chen, that treacherous guy.

After secretly making a deal with the little thing Zi Yan, Ye Chen put on a smile again and said to Su Qian, "Although the Fallen Heart Flame has suffered a lot of damage, in the future, as long as we find someone at the Dou Wang level or above to infuse it with fire attribute Dou Qi, I believe it will be able to grow up again soon."

There was another advantage that Ye Chen didn't mention, but Su Qian and the others were all very clear about it...

Even if the Fallen Heart Flame nurtured by the inner elders' fighting spirit grows to the same level of intelligence as before, it will no longer be hostile to the inner academy. Perhaps a hundred years from now, Canaan Academy will be able to acquire another powerful trump card.

Su Qian's anger had long since vanished. After hearing Ye Chen's suggestion, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Good, good. Ye Chen, Canaan Academy owes you a huge favor this time..."

……

……

After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Chen and Little Fairy Doctor were kept in the inner courtyard by Su Qian.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Xinyue excitedly introduced the Star Pavilion she had established to her older brother...

It's clear that this girl truly put her heart and soul into this, which is why she immediately showed it to her most respected elder brother, hoping to gain his praise.

Ye Chen naturally didn't hold back his praise, giving Ye Xinyue two thumbs up in a row, making the latter happy and smiling all day long.

However, what Ye Xinyue didn't know was that Ye Chen's praise was actually because his younger sister had the ability to capture all the named women in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy in the original novel, including even Xiao Xun'er, the main female lead...

Although Xiao Xun'er had only shown herself to be a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, Ye Chen could vaguely sense that her strength was definitely more than that.

He could even feel a tremor in his heart emanating from the other person, which made Ye Chen take a few more glances at him...

"That must be the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking..."

The flame that can make the three thousand star flames within his body fearful is one of only five different flames on the entire continent.

"Gu Xun'er, huh..." Ye Chen chuckled lightly and then paid no more attention to the leading lady.

As he withdrew his attention, Xiao Xun'er, who had been quiet, couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly and looked up at the figure surrounded by her nominal sect leader...

"The Ye family of Danta... a genius alchemist who has reached the eighth rank..." Looking at the other person's back, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but think of her brother Xiao Yan.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth!

Chapter 289 The Third Fragment of the Map

It is located in a mountain outside the inner courtyard.

Here is a slightly sloping grassy area, where lush green grass stretches to the horizon like a green carpet. Not far below the grass, there is an extremely wide and deep mountain stream, with a light mist swirling around it, making it look like a fairyland.

Tilting her head slightly, Little Fairy Doctor's bright, jewel-like eyes gazed at the young man beside her, who had his eyes closed and looked relaxed. A subtle smile slowly curved her lips...

"Young Master, I really wish time could just stay like this forever..." Little Fairy Doctor murmured, her head resting slightly against Ye Chen's chest.

The days she spent traveling with the young master were the happiest days of her life.

Gently stroking the girl's long hair, Ye Chen hugged the soft body in his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, we will live happily ever after! Then it won't just be the two of us, we will have a son, and then our son will have a son... They will all live happily in this world under our wings."

Hearing her young master's words, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes sparkled with deep longing, as if she had already fallen into this wonderful daydream.

After an unknown amount of time, the two who had been silent for so long finally reacted and got up at the same time. Little Fairy Doctor even gently tidied up her young master's somewhat disheveled clothes.

After the two had finished getting ready, several figures rushed over from the distant mountains and arrived in front of them in just a few breaths.

"Greetings, sir!"

"Greetings, Master!" *3

The visitors were none other than Hu Tian and the three Yao brothers!

The four of them had been following Ye Chen since the early days, but after Ye Chen joined the Pill Tower, they were already falling behind him. So, Ye Chen sent them to be his younger sister Xin Yue's guardians.

Several years had passed since the last time the master and servants met. In those years, Ye Chen had undergone tremendous changes, and although Hu Tian and the other three could not compare, their strength had also improved considerably over the years.

After all, with Ye Chen's presence, even though they were far away from the Ye family, they still received plenty of family resources. So, over the years, Hu Tian, ​​who was originally only a beginner-level Dou Zong, had broken through to the four-star level, making him much stronger than Su Qian...

As for the three Yao brothers, although they have not broken through to the Dou Zong level, they have reached the level of a nine-star Dou Huang. In addition, with the Three Beasts Savage Technique they have cultivated, their current combat power is much stronger than that of the three Mu Lan elders!

"Hmm, very good. It seems your cultivation hasn't lagged behind these past few years." Ye Chen glanced at the three of them and nodded with a smile.

After all, they had been with him for a long time. Even if Ye Chen was mindful of their relationship, he wouldn't give them a second glance if they proved useless.

Looking at Ye Chen, Hu Tian could sense that the aura emanating from his young master was far stronger than that of his former master, Ye Xun…

Finally, his master's last regret before his death was also fulfilled!

"Young Master, these are the things we have obtained in the Black Corner Region over the years according to your instructions. Please take a look!"

Hu Tian took out a storage ring and respectfully handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up. Remembering what he had said to Hu Tian earlier, he eagerly took the storage ring and immediately extended his soul power to scan its interior...

&n

This is just an ordinary storage ring; the space inside isn't large, and there aren't many items inside at the moment—only two...

The first thing Ye Chen saw was a slightly worn and tattered map, on which nothing could be discerned except for some unintelligible patterns.

However, Ye Chen, who already had two fragments of the map, immediately recognized the familiar routes and the half-finished eerie pattern...

This is the third fragment of the map that records the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!

"Hehe, I've obtained three of the four fragments. It seems my luck is truly quite good." Ye Chen smiled inwardly, then looked at Hu Tian...

Where did you get these two things?

Although Xiao Yan obtained the fragment of the Demon Flame Map from the Black Seal City auction in the original novel, since the former's fate has already changed, Ye Chen cannot be sure whether many things will change due to the butterfly effect.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's question, Hu Tian immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "As per your instructions, young master, we have been keeping an eye on the large auctions in the Black Corner Region for the past few years. This was obtained from the Black Seal City auction a year ago, along with a Earth-rank movement technique, Three Thousand Thunderclaps..."

If it were just a low-level Earth-rank movement technique, Hu Tian would definitely not have presented it to his young master. However, the Three Thousand Thunderclaps was very famous in Zhongzhou and was considered the signature technique of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion among the Four Directions Pavilions. So Hu Tian just casually brought it over.

However, although the Three Thousand Thunder Movements has a great reputation and is indeed a very powerful movement technique, Ye Chen also knows that it is a prerequisite skill for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body...

Ye Chen didn't care about any of this.

Putting aside how many powerful identity techniques the Ye family currently possesses that are even stronger than the Three Thousand Thunderclaps, the fact that the other party is the flagship of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion alone is enough to ensure that Ye Chen will not touch this thing.

There's no way around it; given Ye Chen's current status and position, there are some things he still has to consider. It's nothing more than his reputation!

Given Ye Chen's current status, if he were to be accused of stealing techniques from other sects, it would significantly impact his reputation.

This is because it is one of the unspoken taboos among all the factions.

Moreover, it's not just Ye Chen personally; even the Ye family can't cultivate so openly. The reason is simple: it's not worth it!

Although he didn't intend to cultivate, Ye Chen didn't ignore the Three Thousand Thunderbolts, but put them into his storage ring along with the incomplete map.

It was Hu Tian's kind gesture, after all. If I were to simply throw it back, it would easily offend this old man who was so loyal to the Ye family.

Anyway, my Star Ring has plenty of space, so I'm not worried about it taking up too much room.

Who knows, maybe I can use it to exchange for something or to do someone a favor someday...

After learning about Hu Tian and the others' experiences in the Black Corner Region over the past few years, Ye Chen looked at the three Yao brothers.

According to Hu Tian, ​​over the years, in order to facilitate their operations, they had also established a force in the Black Corner Region...

Three Beasts Gate!

This is an existence comparable to forces like the Blood Sect and the Eight Doors in the original work. In fact, the three Yao brothers were even ranked first among gangsters because of their strength.

After all, they were both nine-star Dou Huangs, and together they could even contend with Dou Zongs. Their strength far surpassed that of the Gold and Silver Elders from back then.

Chapter 290 The Turmoil of the Gama Empire

Ye Chen gave the three Yao brothers two choices.

Firstly, they can stay in the Black Corner Region and continue developing their Three Beasts Sect. Although Hu Tian will certainly no longer be there to support them, with their own strength, it will be easy for the three of them to establish a firm foothold here.

Moreover, the Ye family won't really give up on them like that; they will continue to provide resources. So, in a few years, the Three Beasts Sect might even develop to the level of the Black Emperor Sect.

As for the second option, it would be for the three of them to return to the Ye family with him, and then serve as worshippers in the Ye family's ancestral hall, which would not be a problem.

However, it certainly won't be as free as being a king in the Black Corner Region...

Faced with these two choices, the three brothers did not hesitate at all and all chose the second one!

Unfortunately, both options seem similar, and neither will ultimately lose the support of the Ye family. However, if they stay in the Black Corner Region, once Ye Chen, Ye Xinyue, and the others have left, this place will become a completely forgotten island.

Even if they believed that Ye Chen's promised support would not stop, it was still worlds apart from what they could gain by staying in the family.
