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

As a core disciple of the Pill Tower, and a personal disciple of one of the three giants, Ye Chen possessed considerable authority within the Pill Tower. While the supply of ordinary sixth-grade medicinal herbs for refining wasn't unlimited, he could certainly use them freely.

Of course, the use of medicinal herbs is not free; you need to provide 30% of the pills you refine to the Pill Tower.

This is actually quite generous, considering that the success rate of pills is not 100%. Especially since alchemists often refine pills to the limit of their abilities in order to improve their alchemy skills, the success rate is even more appalling...

It's already considered very good if three parts of medicinal herbs can be used to refine one pill. Therefore, if the Pill Tower wants one pill back, it must provide nine parts of medicinal herbs, which seems like a loss for them.

Of course, you can't look at it that way. After all, the Danta isn't making money this way, but rather cultivating talent.

The resources required for a seventh-grade alchemist to reach their level are an incredibly high number, and for those who go higher, the resources are simply incalculable. That's why countless young people want to enter the Pill Tower...

As Ye Chen was traveling, just as he was about to ask about the location of the medicinal herb storehouse inside the Pill Tower, he suddenly saw a familiar face...

"Cao Ying?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, then quickly returned to normal.

As disciples of the three giants, they had the same authority in the Pill Tower, and their cultivation rooms were not far apart, possibly even on the same floor, so it was not surprising that they met.

Ye Chen was curious about what kind of teachings this woman had received after becoming a disciple of the powerful female figure in black robes...

You have to understand that everything I originally got from Xuan Kongzi belonged to him in the original story. In a way, I changed his fate.

When Ye Chen stopped, Cao Ying also saw him.

This scene caused Cao Ying's originally lazy posture to pause slightly, and then the expression in the depths of her eyes slowly turned cold and fierce.

Her long, narrow, beautiful eyes swept over Ye Chen, seemingly trying to see if he was any different from a few days ago...

With light, graceful steps, her supple body seemed boneless as she swayed like a willow branch in the wind as she walked over. Her elegant and graceful movements made one want to take a second look.

Ye Chen sighed inwardly; his male intuition told him that this woman seemed to be up to something again…

Well, calling her a woman doesn't seem quite accurate, because right now she's at most a girl.

However, this vixen's personality is indeed quite wicked, making it impossible for anyone to like her.

"Brother Ye, where are you going?" As she approached, Cao Ying immediately called out enthusiastically in her sweet voice, which gave Ye Chen goosebumps.

If it were any other young man, being called "brother" so enthusiastically by this enchantress would probably make his legs go weak and he'd be completely disoriented. But every time Ye Chen heard her voice like that, he always felt an urge to clench his fists...

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ye Chen abandoned his dangerous idea of ​​punching her to see how long she could cry, and said helplessly, "Miss Cao Ying, we are now considered fellow disciples. I am older than you, so why don't you call me Senior Brother Ye Chen and I'll call you Junior Sister Cao Ying?"

Cao Ying pursed her thin lips slightly, and a victorious smile curved her lips.

Ever since her proud soul power was crushed by this despicable guy in the previous assessment, she has enjoyed seeing his helpless expression.

Of course, as a smart girl, she knew how to behave appropriately.

If she really angered this guy, it would ruin the fun, so Cao Ying simply tapped her rounded chin with her finger, made a thinking gesture, and then readily nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll ask Senior Brother Ye Chen to guide me in the future. However, my family calls me Ying'er. Since you say we're fellow disciples, we're practically family, so please just call me Ying'er..."

Scratching his head, Ye Chen finally managed to say with difficulty, "Okay~ then~".

"Hehe, where are you going, Senior Brother? I haven't seen you come out for the past few days. Are you in seclusion? I wonder what secret technique President Xuan Kong taught you?"

Hearing this series of questions, Ye Chen suddenly felt overwhelmed.

This woman is way too outgoing!

This doesn't fit your aloof persona at all...

However, after hearing the last question, Ye Chen, who had been completely overwhelmed by the chatter, instantly snapped back to reality and immediately understood why the girl was behaving the way she was...

"Little girl, so you were waiting for me here! Trying to extract information..."

Chapter 163 The Changes in the Ye Family

As Ye Chen and his two companions successfully joined the Pill Tower and became core disciples, the news spread throughout the entire Pill Domain and then rapidly spread to other regions of the Central Continent.

Don't think this is impossible. The influence of the Danta in the Central Plains is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Moreover, two of them are disciples of the three giants of the Dan Tower, and are expected to become new giants in the future...

The most direct impact of this situation was that the prestige of the Ye and Cao families soared instantly, even surpassing that of the other three of the five major families.

Of course, this influence is only temporary and will gradually return to normal over time.

But that's enough for the Ye family!

What struck the Ye family members most was the sheer number of renowned experts from the Pill Domain who had visited their family's Grand Elder recently. Besides those simply seeking personal connections, some had voluntarily joined the Ye family as retainers…

Yes, after Ye Xun's death, the Ye family had disbanded 90% of its offering group, but in an instant, it recovered to its former peak state. One of its strongest members had even reached the level of an eight-star Dou Zong!

This is something that has not happened in decades for the Ye family!

"What's so special about him? He's just an eight-star Dou Zong. Look at the Cao family and the Dan family, which one doesn't have one or two Dou Zun experts as retainers? We're nothing compared to him..."

Although many family members said this, they could not hide the excitement on their faces.

However, the Ye family's higher-ups were not blinded by this false prosperity.

Although the Ye family seems to have returned to its peak when their ancestor Ye Xun was still alive, they are well aware that all of this is based on Ye Chen's ability to quickly realize his talent and potential in the Pill Tower. Otherwise, everything they have now will vanish in an instant, just like before!

Of course, the outside disturbances did not affect Ye Chen's courtyard...

Because this place has been designated as a forbidden area, besides Ye's mother Song Chun'er, only Queen Medusa and Little Fairy Doctor live here.

Because Little Fairy Doctor had already started ingesting poison, and her Calamity Poison Body had begun to manifest, for safety's sake, Song Chun'er directly had Alita take Qinglin to live in another courtyard. If it was just Queen Medusa and herself there, they could easily deal with whatever happened.

The morning sunlight streamed through the bamboo grove, casting dappled shadows across the courtyard.

The courtyard was unusually quiet at this moment, with only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, giving the surroundings a sense of desolation.

squeak~

The sudden sound of the door opening shattered everything.

A tall, slender figure in a purple robe walked out of the door, and the once lifeless courtyard instantly became vibrant and beautiful because of her appearance.

Queen Medusa looked around at the scenery in the courtyard, then stepped into the small square in the center of the courtyard, and her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the room on the left...

There, the door was tightly closed, and there seemed to be a faint gray mist seeping out from the cracks in the door and window.

The mist looked light, but it didn't dissipate in the gentle breeze. Instead, it slowly sank down and finally settled on a green blade of grass...

Medusa then witnessed firsthand how a green leaf was corroded and dried up in just a few breaths, eventually turning to ashes and falling into the soil.

& nb

This scene caused Queen Medusa to raise an eyebrow slightly, her expression becoming increasingly serious. She raised her hand and released a powerful burst of seven-colored battle aura, completely enveloping the room.

"This girl is really being ridiculous!"

Feeling somewhat angry, Queen Medusa immediately thought of Song Chun'er and prepared to call her over to deal with her.

After all, although her true form is a snake, she can also use venom to attack. However, Queen Medusa herself is not familiar with the Calamity Poison Body. It is better to find a professional to handle this kind of matter, so as not to make a mistake and cause more trouble.

She had barely formed this idea when someone approached the courtyard.

It's no surprise that the person who would be here at this moment is Ye's mother, Song Chun'er.

Upon approaching, the latter also noticed the aura shield released by Medusa, realizing something had happened, and thus rushed over.

"Butterfly, what happened?"

Before she even arrived, Song Chun'er's voice could already be heard.

Queen Medusa didn't hide anything and directly recounted what she had seen. Song Chun'er's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "How could this girl be so reckless!"

Although Little Fairy Doctor has begun her cultivation, Song Chun'er is strictly controlling the process. It must be done step by step, and poisons that exceed Little Fairy Doctor's current physical limits cannot be used.

Although the Calamity Poison Body itself cannot be killed by poison, if it faints due to being unable to withstand the toxicity, then Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body will gradually go out of control. In severe cases, it can even turn the surrounding area for miles into a dead zone!

The village where Little Fairy Doctor and her mother lived was destroyed because of this. Also, in the original novel, after she and Xiao Yan separated, she stayed at the home of an old couple, which ultimately led to the death of that couple...

"Come on, let's go in!"

After saying this, Song Chun'er took the lead and headed towards the seven-colored protective barrier.

With Medusa by their side, the two easily entered the area. Seeing the gray mist that had begun to spread, Song Chun'er didn't hesitate and immediately raised her hand to release a burst of blazing white flames, instantly burning away the highly poisonous gray mist.

This scene made Queen Medusa's gaze freeze.

The blazing white flames were the perfect nemesis of poisonous gas; the gray mist was instantly purified by just a tiny spark, which was completely beyond Queen Medusa's expectations.

She never expected that this woman, who was usually so carefree and somewhat unreliable, would have such methods.

As expected of someone from a great clan in the Pill Domain, this single skill with fire is something even the alchemists of the Northwest Continent couldn't match.

As expected of the matriarch of the Ye family, Song Chun'er acted swiftly and decisively, kicking open the tightly closed door and immediately being met with a thick cloud of gray poisonous fog...

This scene was naturally within the former's expectations. The powerful flames reappeared and directly attacked the gray mist, completely purifying the poisonous mist in the entire room in just a moment.

"Yang Fire?" Queen Medusa finally remembered what Ye Chen had once told her, one of the most important foundations of the Ye family.

Song Chun'er glanced at her, smiled, and nodded, saying, "It seems that brat Chen'er told you. That's right, this is the Yang Fire of my Ye family, which can be said to be the nemesis of some poisons. When that brat left, he entrusted Xian'er to me, not just because I am his mother..."

Chapter 164 Song Chun'er's Big Plan

In the original novel, before Xiao Yan helped Little Fairy Doctor condense the poison pill, he used Yang Fire to suppress the poison in Little Fairy Doctor's body.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, Song Chun'er rushed into the room. There, on the bed, Little Fairy Doctor had her eyes closed, and her once rosy face was now tinged with an eerie seven-colored glow.

"it is as expected……"

With her brows furrowed even more, Song Chun'er's expression became even more serious.

Queen Medusa also witnessed this scene and asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Song Chun'er sighed, shook her head, and said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. This girl has taken an overdose of poison, causing her to lose control and faint. Until she wakes up, the poison will probably continue to dissipate..."

Just as the two were talking, the gray poisonous fog that had previously dissipated reappeared. Although it was very faint, it was still terrifying.

Queen Medusa watched this scene silently, recalling Ye Chen's words: "Once this girl grows up, her potential is no less than yours!"

Queen Medusa originally did not believe this, even knowing that the other party was a cauldron of calamity and poison.

But after witnessing the consequences of the poison's outbreak firsthand, she had no choice but to believe it...

"If this girl were to truly grow to the Dou Zong level, her unleashed power would likely leave millions dead and devastate a thousand miles of land..."

The two remained there until the sun had set.

During this time, whenever the poisonous fog reached a certain concentration, Song Chun'er would burn it with Yang Fire to ensure that it would not overflow the room and affect the outside world.

Of course, Queen Medusa's aura shield did not disappear either.

Sitting at the table, Song Chun'er's gaze remained fixed on the girl on the bed, a sigh lingering on her face...

"What a wonderful young girl, so kind-hearted, yet she was born with such a constitution, destined to become a master-level poison master feared and dreaded by many on the continent."

Queen Medusa glanced at Song Chun'er, who seemed somewhat sentimental, her cherry lips moved, and she suddenly said, "Isn't this precisely the purpose for which your son brought her back from so far away?"

One sentence made the sorrowful Song Chun'er freeze for a moment, and then she turned her head away with an unfriendly expression.

She suddenly realized that, ever since her son left, this witch had become increasingly rude to her, and always used certain phrases to shut her up, leaving her speechless and only able to feel the pain in her heart...

Well, what Song Chun'er didn't know was that Her Majesty the Queen did this on purpose.

Honestly, Her Majesty was a little overwhelmed by Song Chun'er's previous enthusiasm, and she kept trying to pull herself towards becoming her daughter-in-law, so Her Majesty was a little hesitant to chat with Song Chun'er, which is why she came up with this annoying idea.

Ultimately, it's because the aloof Queen isn't good at dealing with people like Song Chun'er...

Little did she know that her actions not only failed to dissuade Song Chun'er from her idea, but also had the opposite effect.

At this moment, Song Chun'er glared fiercely at the Queen, thinking to herself: "Hmph! You brat! Once my son wins you over and makes you my daughter-in-law, let's see how you dare to talk back to me! I'll show you what a 'wicked mother-in-law' looks like!"

In fact, Song Chun'er, who was very good at having a vivid imagination, could already picture this guy crying and whining under her teasing in the future...

Seeing Song Chun'er's increasingly twisted gaze, Her Majesty the Queen directly...

A chill ran down my spine, and I suddenly felt a strange discomfort all over my body.

Frowning slightly, Her Majesty the Queen rose from the stool and casually approached the bedside to check on Little Fairy Doctor, avoiding the former's chilling gaze.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the seven colors on Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks were gradually fading.

Is he about to wake up?

Queen Medusa murmured something, waited a moment, and finally, Little Fairy Doctor, whose eyes were tightly closed on the bed, slowly opened them...

The moment Little Fairy Doctor opened her eyes, a dark figure rushed from behind to the bedside, and the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a kind face.
