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

These words were like a bomb dropped on Queen Medusa's heart!

"What did you say? You said you're still a minor?" Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips slightly parted, she was simply naturally alluring!

"As expected of Queen Medusa, even her surprised expression is so alluring..." Ye Chen said with a light laugh, then pretended to be nonchalant, "So what if she's a minor? What's the big deal?"

Queen Medusa's eye twitched involuntarily; she felt this bastard was just showing off in front of her...

However, if what the other party said is true, then a Dou Huang who is not even sixteen years old, and more importantly, the other party is also a sixth-grade alchemist...

Is such a monstrous talent truly capable of existing in this world?

Queen Medusa took one last deep look at Ye Chen and suddenly realized that her heart was completely unsettled...

Ye Chen noticed all of her behavior, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

He's not a real fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, so Ye Chen wouldn't show off in front of women for no reason.

The purpose of doing this is simply to subtly deepen the impression one makes on the other person.

Ye Chen did this not just because he was after her body, but because he wanted to leave an impression on the powerful Medusa Queen that he would definitely be stronger than her in the future.

That's the only way to break her arrogance!

Of course, this would also let her know that following him would be her best choice, and that he would give her and the snake people a more limitless future, thus making their relationship more stable.

"Sigh, what can I do? I'm a good person, I didn't mean to take advantage of anyone..."

Based on Ye Chen's previous assistance to Queen Medusa in her evolution, if he wanted to emulate Xiao Yan from the original story, it would be an easy task.

In the end, Ye Chen did not choose to do that, but instead maintained his bottom line.

"Alright, little one, no need to hide anymore. With me here, the Great Demon King won't eat you. Besides, I have something good for you..."

While scratching the little head of the Teng Snake with his left index finger, Ye Chen took out a drop of the essence blood of the Rift Sky Flying Tiger and presented it to the latter.

Sensing the pure energy and trace of spatial power contained within the essence blood, the Teng Snake, which had been feigning death, immediately perked up and swallowed the essence blood of the Sky-Splitting Flying Tiger whole...

Chapter 130 The Changes in the Spark

Obtaining the Soaring Serpent was an unexpected surprise, but it also forced Ye Chen to change his original plan to use the Sky-Splitting Flying Tiger for alchemy.

Ye Chen estimated that once the little guy had completely digested the essence and magic core of the Sky-Splitting Flying Tiger, it would be able to grow to the sixth rank.

"The matter is settled, let's go back." Ye Chen said to Queen Medusa, having the Flying Serpent coil around his wrist again.

"There's more trouble ahead. We originally planned to refine the Dou Ling Pill to help the three Yao brothers break through to Dou Wang, but now that we're missing the main ingredient, the Blood Python Branch, we have to abandon that plan. We'll probably be stuck here for quite a while..."

At this point, Ye Chen also felt helpless.

However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the Sky-Soaring Serpent, which had been quietly refining the Sky-Splitting Flying Tiger on his wrist, stir...

The little creature swam to Ye Chen's palm, then opened its small mouth, revealing a black spatial void. A red object, several times larger than the Soaring Serpent, was then spat out.

"This is... the Blood Python Branch?"

This scene not only caught Ye Chen's attention, but even Queen Medusa next to him couldn't help but look over.

"You little rascal, it seems you really were behind this during the day! But at least you saved your master a lot of money..." Ye Chen chuckled, put away the Blood Python Branch, and then scratched the Soaring Serpent's head with his finger.

However, as he scratched, Ye Chen's thoughts drifted again, and he suddenly thought that the evolved Medusa Queen in the original work seemed to be similar to the current Flying Serpent...

If only I could hold Her Majesty the Queen in my hands and play with her...

Ye Chen, whose gaze was gradually becoming distorted, did not notice. Perhaps sensing his deep "malice," the usually calm Queen suddenly became alert, her pale purple eyes fixed warily on the "little" man beside her. She said coldly, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about now?"

"Huh? Ah! No, I was just thinking that with the Blood Python Branch, we can refine more Spirit-Boosting Pills..."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Hmph! I'll believe you if you wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth first..."

……

……

After returning to the inn, the two parted ways. Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb the star power that filled the night sky.

Actually, Ye Chen's stay in Yushui City wasn't just to allow the Yao brothers to improve their strength. He also wanted to use this time to raise his Star Essence to 350 points so that he could light up the eighth Star Soul of his Dragon Head Star Domain.

However, the task was still very heavy, because in addition to absorbing star essence at night, he also had to refine pills during the day, almost filling his schedule to the brim...

This is why he has had one adventure after another since he first left Ye City. Otherwise, how could he have become a Dou Huang in such a short time with only a short period of time to cultivate Dou Qi!

There was no other way; with the cheat code, his cultivation talent and techniques reached the top level, which gave Ye Chen more time to do other things. This was the main reason why he was able to surpass his peers, those alchemy geniuses, in all aspects!

"The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill requires three different flames to refine. Its effect mainly relies on the powerful energy contained within each flame to help a person achieve breakthroughs."

break……"

The next morning, Ye Chen finished absorbing star power early and immediately began refining pills.

Recalling the information about the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill in his mind, Ye Chen thought, "I refined this pill to help Alita improve her strength. She's only a one-star Dou Shi, so taking the highest quality Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill definitely won't be enough for her..."

The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill comes in three grades. Each grade will form a ring of pill patterns on the pill body. If three rings of pill patterns can be formed, it is the highest grade Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill.

Looking at the special reminder before the pill formula: "The highest quality Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill should be used with caution by those below the Great Dou Master level!"

It is obvious that the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, which has absorbed the energy of three kinds of flames, is extremely violent, and a Dou Shi level cultivator simply cannot withstand that kind of energy impact.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan refined the Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill using two different kinds of strange fire and one kind of beast fire. Its ferocity reached a terrifying level. Xiao Yan used it to break through to the Great Dou Master level with the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Master, and the risks involved were unimaginable.

Putting aside Xiao Yan's character, just in terms of his courage to disregard everything for the sake of improving his strength, Ye Chen was ashamed of himself!

Of course, this is also because Ye Chen did not experience the crisis of his family being wiped out. Not only was he not hunted down, but his growth has been smooth sailing, and he was about to become a disciple of the Pill Tower, one of the most powerful forces on the continent...

If he didn't know how dangerous the world would become in the future, Ye Chen would have preferred to just lie down in this environment.

Isn't a life of eating, drinking, and having fun more appealing to him?

Shaking his head with some sigh, Ye Chen continued reading the detailed description of the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill on the pill formula.

Ordinary Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill can help a Dou Shi expert break through to the Great Dou Shi level. If a Great Dou Shi expert takes it, there is a small chance that the user's level will be increased by one star, and there are no adverse effects.

From this perspective, I only need to refine a three-patterned Azure Spirit Pill of ordinary one-pattern quality for a Battle Master to consume.

However, you cannot use your own starfire during the refining process...

As Ye Chen's strength increased and the number of Star Souls he lit up grew, his accompanying Star Flame also experienced tremendous growth.

When Queen Medusa evolved, Ye Chen felt the terrifying temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame up close. However, if he were to unleash his full power, his Starfire, even if not as strong as hers, would be nearly equal.

According to Ye Chen's guess, the temperature of his Starfire at this moment is definitely comparable to the three Strange Flames ranked 20th or lower on the Strange Flame Ranking.

This is already a very terrifying thing!

After all, Ye Chen has only just reached the Dou Huang realm, and his Star Soul has only been lit up to 10 points...

This is one of the reasons why Ye Chen looks down on the Burning Blade Technique.

Anyway, his own spark can continuously increase its power through autonomous growth, and in the end it may not be inferior to those powerful strange flames ranked at the top, so why should he risk his life?

To reiterate, if Ye Chen wants to become stronger and reach the pinnacle, there are easier, simpler, and safer options. There's absolutely no need for him to compare himself to Xiao Yan, who's at his wit's end...

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen took out the Star Cauldron, crushed a jade bottle containing beast fire, and threw the pale purple flame directly into the cauldron. Relying on his powerful control over flames, refining an ordinary three-patterned Azure Spirit Pill, which was only a mid-grade fourth rank, was naturally a piece of cake...

Chapter 131 Battle Spirit Pill

In two days, Ye Chen refined several batches of three-patterned Azure Spirit Pills. In addition to the ordinary quality pills for Alita's use, he also produced two-patterned and three-patterned pills as reserves.

During the refining process, Ye Chen also gained a deeper understanding of this pill. Don't underestimate this fourth-grade pill. If you want to successfully refine a perfect three-pattern quality pill, in the entire Ye family, besides himself, only his grandfather Ye Zhong and a few elders can do it.

Honestly, to be able to multitask and master three different flames is asking too much...

Ye Chen gave the pill to Alita, who had been eagerly waiting for two days, and instructed Queen Medusa to keep an eye on her. Then, Ye Chen returned to his alchemy state.

Even though they are all sixth-grade pills, the difficulty of refining them varies.

The Soul Cleansing Pill and God Protection Pill that were previously refined for Queen Medusa were not difficult to make, but they were nothing compared to the Spirit Fighting Pill.

Among the sixth-grade pills, the difficulty of refining pills such as the Fighting Spirit Pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill, and the Breaking Sect Pill increases dramatically. In detail, the Fighting Spirit Pill belongs to the high-grade of the sixth grade, while the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Breaking Sect Pill belong to the peak of the sixth grade...

“Refining sixth-grade pills is too stimulating and doesn’t require staying in the city, so I’ll be leaving for a few days. Hu Tian will be with me, so please look after things here, Cai Die.”

Queen Medusa naturally agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, Ye Chen and his companion went directly to a desolate mountain a hundred miles away from Yushui City, found a flat spot, and landed there.

On the lush mountain peaks, silvery flames flickered among the greenery...

Countless starlight fell from the enormous Star Cauldron, illuminating the mysterious patterns on its surface, making them seem almost alive.

Warming the cauldron is the first step in alchemy. The higher the quality of the cauldron, the longer the warming process takes. As for the Star Cauldron, which ranks among the top five on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, it takes a full five minutes to warm it up each time.

You should know that Ye Chen's Starfire now has a temperature comparable to that of a different kind of fire!

Five minutes later, Ye Chen glanced at the many medicinal herbs he had laid out on the ground, recalled the details recorded in the pill formula, and with a wave of his hand, the blood-red branch that resembled a twisted snake flew into the medicine cauldron.

As soon as the Blood Python Branch entered the medicine cauldron, the originally quiet silver-white starlight in the cauldron devoured it like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, and in an instant, it began to wither rapidly.

Ye Chen focused his attention on the medicine cauldron. Although the flames inside were burning fiercely, he suppressed them to a rather low level. Therefore, although the flames seemed fierce, they did not burn the blood python branch to ashes.

As time passed, the Blood Python Branch gradually withered. During this process, fine, blood-red water droplets seeped from the surface of the Blood Python Branch, eventually sliding down the surface and hovering above the flames, constantly dripping and rolling.

As the flames continued to scorch and the blood-red droplets seeped in, the crimson color on the surface of the Blood Python Branch rapidly faded. After a short while, the Fire Fungus completely turned into a withered gray...

At this moment, the pure medicinal power contained within the Blood Python Branch had been completely forced out by the flames, thus turning its body into a pile of useless waste.

With a flick of his wrist, the withered blood python branch flew out of the medicine cauldron and finally fell onto the grass beside him. The moment it landed, it turned into a pile of gray ashes and scattered with the wind.

Ye Chen performed these actions with ease, demonstrating his alchemy skills, showing that he was already adept at refining sixth-grade pills.

This is thanks to the breakthrough in cultivation and the significant improvement in control over one's own soul.

Inside the Star Cauldron, a ball of blood-red liquid was spinning rapidly, resembling a blood-red bead.

These blood-red liquids are the pure medicinal power initially extracted from the Blood Python Branch, and the energy contained within them is astonishingly vast.

After these crimson liquids condensed, they did not quietly follow the refining process as Ye Chen usually did when refining medicine. Instead, strands of blood quietly spread out, each strand containing extremely powerful energy. When each strand of blood struck the inner wall of the cauldron, it produced a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds.

This was within Ye Chen's expectations.

As the grade of the refined pills continues to increase, not only are there extremely high requirements for the alchemist's alchemy skills, but the alchemist's cauldron is also of paramount importance.

If the cauldron is of poor quality, the mere impact of these blood streaks could easily pierce it, rendering any attempt at alchemy pointless...

Unfortunately, this level of damage had absolutely no effect on the Star Cauldron.

With a casual wave of his hand, the starlight inside the cauldron suddenly surged, and the blood vessels that were touched by the flames retreated rapidly as if startled.

As a result, under the massive encirclement of the sparks, the dense blood vessels were once again suppressed back into the crimson liquid, and under the watchful eyes of the surrounding sparks, they no longer dared to venture out at will.

"puff!"

A cluster of silvery-white sparks, under Ye Chen's distracted control, broke away from the main force and finally hovered beneath the crimson liquid. As the flames rose, they erupted with extremely high temperatures, and instantly the surface of the crimson liquid began to boil, with tiny bubbles constantly bubbling.

As the bubbles bulged, wisps of extremely thin gray smoke rose from them. These were the impurities contained within. To refine high-quality pills, these impurities had to be completely removed; otherwise, the impurities might make it difficult to form pills.

After about half an hour, the refining and purification of the Blood Python Branch was finally completed. Ye Chen poured the refined medicinal liquid, along with the starlight, into a jade bottle for storage, and then began to continue refining other medicinal materials...

This is a very special method of preserving medicinal liquids, which is only passed down among many advanced alchemists.

The advantage of this method is that it keeps the liquid medicine at the same temperature and purity as when it came out of the oven, and it is not contaminated by impurities in the air...

However, achieving this requires a high level of skill in controlling the flames. Jade bottles are fragile, and if the temperature is too high, they will shatter and the refined medicinal liquid will be completely ruined.

This was a technique personally taught to Ye Chen by his ancestor Ye Xun when he was a child. He was only able to use it after returning to the Ye family from his first travels, and only after practicing it many times.

Chapter 132 The Eighth Star Soul

Although they only refined one Spirit-Refining Pill, it was enough for the three Yao brothers.

The three of them cultivated the Three Beasts Savage Technique. With the assistance of the three kinds of demonic beast blood essence provided by Ye Chen, they quickly mastered the basics. Then, using the unique fusion technique of the Three Beasts Savage Technique, all three of them cultivated using a single pill at the same time. This way, they could avoid the terrifying medicinal power of the Battle Spirit Pill directly causing them to explode...

In this way, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the three of them finally stabilized their cultivation at the level of a one-star Dou Wang.

If they were to use the Three Beasts Savage Technique, the three of them would be able to withstand the attack of a five-star Dou Wang, which is similar to the secret technique mastered by the eight leaders of the Snake-People Clan.

These weren't Ye Chen's words, but rather Queen Medusa's conclusion after experiencing the combined battle qi attack of the three at close range.

As for Ye Chen himself, after absorbing star power continuously during this period, the star essence he possessed finally broke through the 350-point mark, enough for him to rekindle his star soul.
