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

The three men all looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and they even bore a striking resemblance, so they must be three brothers...

To be able to cultivate to the level of a nine-star Dou Ling before the age of thirty is considered extraordinary talent even for an ordinary person.

Moreover, with their strength, even in the Black Corner Region, they could easily find a small, ordinary town to settle down in, and might even be able to establish their own power base...

Unfortunately, the three brothers inadvertently offended the Golden and Silver Elders, two of the top experts in the Black Corner Region, which forced them to live a precarious life on the run.

"Big brother, what should we do next?" The second of the three brothers quietly approached his eldest brother, secretly asking what to do next.

Without any hesitation...

None of the people who have managed to survive in the Black Corner Region are selfless!

"Wait! Let's see what those bastards from the Blood Shark Gang do."

"If they attack those people, we'll find a chance to escape..."

The eldest of the three brothers spoke directly.

This is the normal way of thinking in the Black Corner Region! As for whether Ye Chen and his group will be affected by this, what does that have to do with the three brothers?

You can only blame yourselves for being unlucky!

……

……

The Blood Shark Gang's covetousness and foul language had filled the proud Queen with rage.

However, since Ye Chen is currently leading their group, whether or not to take action depends on Ye Chen's choice...

Feeling the cold gaze from Queen Medusa, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't stop her from venting her anger. He chuckled and said, "A bunch of clowns, daring to speak so rudely. Then I'll trouble you, Butterfly, to teach them a lesson. No need to hold back..."

Although this final warning was spoken in a casual tone, the chilling killing intent it contained had already sealed the fate of the Blood Shark Gang.

With a cold snort, Queen Medusa didn't bother wasting words with these ants. She simply raised her slender hand and clenched it tightly towards the group of people...

puff!

A series of rhythmic, muffled thuds rang out, and then the sky was stained with blood as it splattered upwards.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen powerful warriors at the Douling level vanished from the world, leaving only bloodstains on the dark grass, adding even more carnage to the already terrifying black plain.

"...!!!"

The three brothers, who were already prepared to flee, were so shocked by what they saw that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets...

How terrifying was that alluring and seductive woman who so easily wiped out a group of fighting spirits?!

At that moment, the three of them felt like their legs were about to cramp. They wanted to run away, but they couldn't control their bodies at all and could only stand there dumbfounded...

At this moment, Ye Chen's gaze fell on the three men, once again plunging the three brothers into fear.

"You guys, tell me. Who were those people just now, and why were they chasing you?" Ye Chen asked.

Although they didn't know how the other party wanted to deal with them, the three brothers still answered Ye Chen's questions very honestly.

“Sir, we are three brothers. You can call me Yao Da, and they are my second and third brothers. You can call them Yao Er and Yao San.” The eldest man stepped forward and answered.

"The Yao brothers?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, and three people suddenly came to mind.

Could these three be the Yao brothers who joined Xiao Yan's Xiao Clan after he founded the Xiao Clan in the Black Corner Region in the original novel?

Curious, Ye Chen gestured for the other person to continue.

Seeing this, Yao Da dared not hide anything and continued, "Those people were from the Blood Shark Gang. The Blood Shark Gang is one of the three major gangs in Blood Fiend City. The gang leader, Blood Shark, is a nine-star Dou Wang. Those people were a group of experts from the Blood Shark Gang led by the vice gang leader, Wolf Shark..."

Hearing about the Blood Shark Gang's strength, Ye Chen and the others didn't change their expressions at all. After all, it was just a gang founded by a Dou Wang (Battle King), not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing this, Yao Da knew that the other party didn't care about the Blood Shark Gang, and continued, "The reason they are chasing us brothers is because we brothers offended the Gold and Silver Elders. They want to kill us as a gift to join the Gold and Silver Elders' ranks..."

Chapter 121 Maple City

It really was the Yao brothers that Ye Chen had guessed.

Well, they're just three minor characters with only names...

but……

Looking at the three people in front of him, Ye Chen suddenly had a new idea.

"In the original story, these three were able to cultivate to the level of Dou Wang, which shows they have some talent. If these three were to cultivate the Three Beasts Savage Technique, they might become three decent powerhouses with some training. At the very least, they could reach the level of the Three Elders of Mulan, right?"

Well, while a Dou Zong level fighter might not be of much use, for a large family like the Ye family, it's still considered a decent fighting force.

Having considered this, Ye Chen had already made his choice...

Ye Chen tossed a purple pill to each of the three men and said without any politeness, "Take this pill, and from now on, the three of you will be my servants..."

Yao Da was stunned for a moment, then looked at the pill in his hand and his face turned pale.

It's obvious without even thinking that this purple pill is definitely not a useful medicine; it's very likely a poison used to control the three of them!

Ye Chen's words also proved this point.

"This is the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Pill I have prepared. After taking it, you must take the antidote that I specially refined every year. Otherwise, the poison will directly corrode your soul, and even a high-level alchemist will not be able to cure it."

"Take this, and you'll be mine. Refusal, and I'll send you to the Blood Shark Gang..."

Well, that doesn't give them any choice at all.

Although they were unwilling, the three Yao brothers had no intention of refusing. After all, nobody wants to die if they can live, right?

The three brothers exchanged a glance, and then Yao Da took the lead, swallowing the purple pill in one gulp. He then knelt on one knee and bowed to Ye Chen, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Seeing that their eldest brother had already taken the pills, the remaining two brothers could only swallow them as well and kneel on the ground.

"Very good." Ye Chen hadn't expected Yao Da to be so decisive.

However, since you've taken in a servant, you can't not give them benefits, otherwise they won't be easy to use, right...?

"This is the Three Beasts Savage Technique, an ancient secret method passed down from ancient times. You three brothers should study and cultivate it diligently to quickly improve your cultivation level. Otherwise, with your current strength, you are not qualified to become my servants!"

"Yes!" Yao Da was pleasantly surprised as he looked at the gray scroll in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so generous, giving such a precious secret technique right after accepting my help. Thinking about it this way, being a servant doesn't seem so bad.

While the others didn't find anything unusual about Ye Chen's actions, Queen Medusa was filled with curiosity.

"I find you quite strange. You've been recruiting people everywhere you go. Is the Ye family itself weak?"

Faced with Queen Medusa's question, Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "No, but I consider myself to have some ability to judge people. Those who are valued by me all have good potential and are worth cultivating."

"Really?" Queen Medusa asked, her face full of disbelief.

He gestured to the two younger ones beside him and asked, "What about these two? Do they have some extraordinary abilities?"

This issue isn't just about Queen Medusa; it also involves Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin Dun, who are also involved in the problem.

Every now and then, I couldn't help but secretly shift my attention to it.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, glanced at the two girls who were sneaking around, and said calmly, "Cai Die, you mustn't underestimate them either. These two girls will be just as capable as you in the future..."

"You're not kidding?" Queen Medusa was immediately surprised.

It wasn't that she was arrogant, but rather that Queen Medusa, after evolving into the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, possessed potential comparable to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. As long as she grew smoothly, becoming a Dou Zun in the future was inevitable, and even becoming a Dou Sheng was not impossible.

Looking at the two girls who had no fighting spirit at all, she really couldn't understand how they could be compared to her.

Ye Chen simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

After all, it's not easy for too many people to know about Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body.

Moreover, Queen Medusa and Ye Chen now have more of a cooperative relationship. Queen Medusa helps protect the Ye family, while the Ye family provides her with as many resources as possible to grow.

Beside her, Alita looked over with some expectant eyes and asked Ye Chen, "Young Master, do you think I'm also very talented?"

"You? You're just an extra..." Ye Chen bluntly retorted. "Even with my full support, with your talent, you'd only ever break through to the Dou Huang realm at best..."

Alita, who had initially looked unconvinced, widened her eyes upon hearing the next sentence, and exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You really think I have a chance to break through to the Dou Huang realm?"

Ye Chen: “…”

Okay, he did misunderstand.

For someone like Alita, who truly grew up from the bottom, a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) level expert was a powerful existence that she couldn't even dream of. Therefore, the Dou Huang level experts that Ye Chen looked down on were actually their lifelong pursuit.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to a spineless coward like you." Ye Chen waved his hand weakly, then ordered everyone to board the giant eagle and set off again.

……

……

Maple City is an unassuming little city in the Black Corner Region.

Maple City is located outside a continuous mountain range. If Ye Chen remembers correctly, the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy lies deep within these mountains...

This is also why Han Feng chose to settle here. From the very beginning, he had his eye on the Canaan Academy's strange fire!

However, although the city is not large in scale, it holds a pivotal position in the Black Corner Region. The reason is none other than that the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region lives there!

As the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, Han Feng, who has long been a sixth-grade alchemist, holds a high position in the hearts of many forces and even powerful figures.

Of course, even on the entire continent, a sixth-grade alchemist is a rare find, except in special regions like the Pill Domain, which gathers ninety percent of the continent's alchemists.

Even high-level Dou Huang or Dou Zong experts would have to be respectful in front of a sixth-grade alchemist. After all, everyone knows how much influence a sixth-grade alchemist can have!

In the very heart of the city lies a bamboo grove, a stark contrast to the bustling market outside.

This bamboo forest has extremely strong defenses. Ordinary people would be attacked indiscriminately as soon as they approach a certain range, let alone enter it!

Every year, quite a few people are killed by the bamboo forest guards for these reasons. Therefore, although this place is secluded, it is also a forbidden area in the hearts of many people in Maple City.

Chapter 122 Easily Taken Down

At this moment, in a bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest, a man sat cross-legged. The man was dressed in an alchemist's robe, on the back of which was an exquisitely crafted character "枫" (Feng). He was currently engrossed in a prescription in his hands, appearing completely focused and undistracted.

Han Feng, the Medicine King, may not be well-known among the lower-level people, but in the eyes of the upper-level powerhouses of the Black Corner Region, he is a truly remarkable figure. Even those hidden sects would have to give him some respect.

However, it seems that Maple City has welcomed an unwelcome guest today. The terrifying pressure that overwhelms the entire city has even alarmed the Medicine King, who is researching pill formulas...

"Who has come to visit my Maple City? Please forgive me for not being able to greet you properly!"

A clear voice rang out from the city center, and then a handsome middle-aged man appeared in the sky.

"It's the Medicine King!"

In the city, many people who witnessed this scene were men staring at the sky with excited expressions.

It's as if as long as this person is there, this city is the safest place!

However, what they didn't know was that Han Feng's heart was unusually heavy at this moment...

Just from the other party's aura, he knew that the person who came this time was extremely powerful and was definitely a genuine Dou Zong expert!

At this moment, many thoughts were on Han Feng's mind...

"Who exactly is causing trouble? Could it be that the Starfall Pavilion has discovered the Black Corner Region? Or perhaps the Soul Palace..."

There was no other way; he had too many and too powerful enemies, which was the main reason why he had been trapped in the Black Corner Region for decades.

However, regardless of who the visitor was or what their purpose was, since they had come knocking on his door, Han Feng couldn't simply pretend to be deaf and dumb.

As Han Feng ascended into the air, deep in the mountains outside Maple City, the very source of that terrifying pressure, a faint voice reached his ears.

"I humbly request Your Excellency the Medicine King to come and have a chat, as I have a favor to ask..."

Hearing the other party's polite words, Han Feng felt a little relieved. At least, the other party was probably not there to cause trouble.

After all, as the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, countless people come to him for help in refining medicine, including some who are at the Dou Zong level.

Although their actions were somewhat domineering and deliberately mysterious, where was this place? This was the Black Corner Region! Many of the powerful individuals who could come here were eccentric, some even forced to conceal their tracks for fear of attracting the pursuit of their enemies…

Of course, Han Feng couldn't be that naive and simple-minded; more importantly, his soul power had already locked onto the other party...

He's just a one-star Dou Zong!

Moreover, there was no sign of any powerful figures within a hundred miles, so he was confident that the other party could not do anything to him, a peak Douhuang alchemist with a different kind of fire. Therefore, after only a brief moment of thought, he went directly to the appointment.

A moment later, Han Feng arrived at a small valley...

Here, an old man in a gray robe was sitting cross-legged. When Han Feng descended from the sky, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

Hu Tian sized up the man opposite him, who was called the "Medicine King." Although he was very displeased that a mere sixth-grade alchemist dared to call himself the "Medicine King," he still had to put on a smile and politely bow, saying, "This is the Medicine King, Han Feng."
