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

Maybe he still cares about his image in public and likes to show off, but if he puts on that act in front of his family, especially his mother, he'll just look like an idiot...

Ye Chen spent a lot of time chatting with his mother about what had happened recently, which has become a must-do for him every time he returns from a trip.

Afterwards, Ye Chen inquired about Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation and discovered that this little girl had actually broken through to the Dou Shi level...

This really surprised Ye Chen.

You have to understand, this girl only started cultivating a few days before I participated in the public assessment, and in just a few months, she has directly cultivated to the level of Dou Shi. This speed is beyond description!

However, Ye Chen immediately frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you before that cultivation cannot be rushed and must be done step by step? Why didn't you listen!"

Hearing Ye Chen's much heavier tone, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, but made no sound.

Song Chun'er, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her son's hand, scolding, "You brat, are you talking about your mother? I've been watching Xian'er's cultivation all along, so blame me if you want!"

"Uh... no way, Mom, you're overthinking it."

What to do? Mom adopted a protective stance, and as the son, he had no choice but to give in.

This scene made the Little Fairy Doctor, who was originally on the verge of tears, burst out laughing, and then unconsciously took Song Chun'er's arm.

Clearly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a very good relationship, which makes things difficult for their son, Ye Chen.

Her Majesty watched all this silently, feeling the strong sense of family affection surrounding her. A hint of envy flashed involuntarily in her pale purple eyes. Then she thought of how she once had the chance to have all of this, but fate had played a cruel trick on her, and in the end, she had lost everything. Her captivating eyes dimmed instantly...

Chapter 174 The Clever and Obedient Little Doctor

Queen Medusa's changes naturally did not escape Ye Chen's notice.

However, their current relationship is more of a collaboration, a mutually beneficial one, so there are many things that Ye Chen is not suited to do or say.

Looking at Her Majesty the Queen's restored noble and beautiful appearance, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Cai Die's cultivation has improved very quickly during this period. She should be breaking through to the three-star Dou Zong soon, right?"

It must be said that the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is indeed powerful. With the assistance of Ye Chen's Fire Lotus Pill, Queen Medusa's cultivation level has also exceeded everyone's expectations.

At this point, Queen Medusa smiled and said, "If you could provide two more Fire Lotus Pills, I could break through again in less than three months..."

Ye Chen smiled helplessly and said, "I can't help you with that. The Fire Lotus Pill can only be refined using the Earth Fire Lotus Seed that grows alongside the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. And only one Earth Fire Lotus Seed is born every hundred years. I only have eleven in total. Considering the losses during the refining process, I can only give you one more Fire Lotus Pill at most. I really don't have any more..."

Although slightly disappointed, Queen Medusa did not push her luck.

Of course, the Fire Lotus Pills weren't truly gone; Ye Chen planned to keep them for his family so his parents could use them later, so he definitely couldn't take them all out.

However, Ye Chen thought for a moment and continued, "Although we're out of Fire Lotus Pills, I did refine some Qi Burning Pills while I was in the Pill Tower. They're also high-grade sixth-rank fire-attribute pills, only slightly weaker than Fire Lotus Pills. I can provide you with two..."

Ye Chen originally modified the Fire Lotus Pill recipe from the Burning Qi Pill recipe. Previously, the Burning Blood Jade Marrow needed to refine the Burning Qi Pill was very rare and difficult to obtain.

However, Ye Chen still found a large piece of volcanic blood jade in the medicine warehouse of the Pill Tower. He extracted some burning blood jade marrow from it and refined three pills.

Ye Chen gave two of the three Qi-Burning Pills to Queen Medusa, and kept the remaining one within the family as a reserve of medicinal pills.

Although the Ye family is now showing obvious signs of prosperity, it is precisely because of this that the entire Ye family has become very busy.

Especially those clansmen who have reached the sixth-grade alchemist level are now all working at full capacity to refine pills...

With the increase in the number of offering groups, the Ye family's expenses also rose sharply. While sixth-grade pills were manageable—the Ye family currently has some sixth-grade alchemists—seventh-grade pills were becoming increasingly scarce.

Currently, besides the four elders, the Ye family only has Ye Chen, a seventh-grade alchemist. However, Ye Chen is likely spending most of his time at the Pill Tower, focusing on improving his strength, so he can't really offer much help...

This places a heavy burden on the family elders!

Ye Chen hadn't hesitated before taking out all the seventh-grade pills he had and handing them over to his father, so as to temporarily alleviate the Ye family's urgent crisis.

Once Grandpa Ye Chong emerges from seclusion, everything should get back on track...

"By the way, where are Alita and Qinglin? I haven't seen them." Putting aside his worries, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask when he suddenly realized that two people were missing.

Song Chun'er rolled her eyes, somewhat displeased with her son's lack of attention, and said, "You only just remembered them?"

Come on! It's a good thing that this little girl has been thinking about you all this time..."

Ye Chen was speechless upon hearing his mother's tone.

The way he's saying that makes it sound like he's a heartless man. Qinglin is such a tiny little thing; even if he were a pervert, he wouldn't have any bad intentions towards her…

It seems necessary to remind my mother that she shouldn't be too hasty in doing things, and at least she should wait until her daughter is older before making any decisions.

What if he grows up to be ugly...?

Although Qinglin grew up to be a beautiful woman in the original story, it's always best to be cautious in everything you do.

Seeing her young master speechless after being choked by his wife's words, the clever and obedient Little Fairy Doctor quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Young master, Qinglin is in the courtyard next door. Aunt Alita is about to break through to the Great Dou Master realm, and Qinglin was worried, so she stayed there to wait for Aunt Alita to come out of seclusion. She didn't know that you were returning today."

Ye Chen immediately gave Little Fairy Doctor a gentle smile, nodding to himself, "My fairy is so sensible, she knows how to help her young master out of a predicament..."

only……

"I didn't expect Alita to be about to break through to the Great Dou Master level?"

This surprised Ye Chen somewhat.

After all, Alita was truly just an ordinary member of the masses on the entire Dou Qi Continent, without any special talents, or even any talents at all...

Her rapid cultivation was entirely due to the massive amount of pills provided by the Ye family.

Although the Ye family had no need to waste so many resources on an ordinary woman, they had a wonderful daughter.

Ye Chen had already promised that if he could help the other party reach the strength of a Dou Huang, then the Ye family would definitely be able to do it!

After all, even a pig, if fed all sorts of elixirs every day, could eventually become a divine pig...

However, it's unclear whether Alita is Cao Cao reincarnated from another time. Just as he mentioned her, Ye Chen noticed two footsteps, one big and one small, approaching outside the door, and then he heard Alita's boisterous voice.

"Hmph! Young master, you're looking down on me again. Why can't I break through to the Great Dou Master level?"

As the sound faded, Ye Chen looked towards the door and saw a daring and fiery figure walk in.

Alita was wearing a short top that barely covered her chest and lower body, exposing her tanned, sexy waist to everyone's view. Beneath her short leather skirt, a section of her long, sexy thighs was visible, giving her a wild and alluring look.

This outfit is the standard attire of a female desert mercenary from Stone Desert City. Although they are now at the Ye family's residence and no longer in the desert, Alita is still used to this style of dress. In her words, it's neat and won't hinder her combat ability...

Ye Chen didn't make any demands on the other party in this regard, so he just let it be.

However, after spending the past six months at the Ye family's house, perhaps because she was no longer exposed to the wind and sun, the woman's skin had become much fairer, and she had gained a more feminine charm.

After silently evaluating the woman in his mind, Ye Chen didn't choose to argue with her. Instead, he waved his hand behind her...

Chapter 175 The Star Essence Pill on the Agenda

Perhaps it's because she no longer lives in constant fear, but Qinglin has changed a lot in the past year. She has completely shed her former thin and small appearance and her body has grown up.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's summons, Qing Lin obediently walked to Ye Chen's side, letting the former gently stroke her soft, long hair.

Qinglin loved this feeling of closeness. When her young master's warm hand covered her head, she felt a great sense of peace...

Perhaps this is the aftereffect left after Ye Chen "descended from the sky" to save his mother and himself.

Seeing her daughter's docile appearance, Alita felt a little jealous, because even in front of her, her daughter rarely showed such an expression.

At this time, Qinglin was still cultivating under her mother's guidance, but the Ye family treated her as a member of the family, giving her a Qi-cultivating pill every month...

It's not that they're stingy, but for these beginners who haven't even reached the level of a Dou Zhe (Fighter), the pills are still very harmful to them because their tender meridians simply can't withstand the impact.

Although this Qi-Nourishing Pill has been specially modified, one pill, once ground into powder, is enough for one person's medicinal baths for a month. This not only strengthens the foundation and nourishes the vital energy, but also increases the conversion speed of fighting qi. Its effect is second only to the Foundation Establishment Elixir that Elder Yao prepared for Xiao Yan...

Of course, strictly speaking, Foundation Building Elixir is a second-grade pill, one level higher than Qi Cultivation Pill, so it's normal that it's more effective.

Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment Elixir wasn't included in the pill formula he received from Han Feng, which left Ye Chen slightly disappointed.

With the help of the Ye family's resources, Qing Lin has now reached the third level of Dou Qi, even though she started cultivating very late.

It should be noted that Xinlan, who is the same age as Qinglin, is already close to the seventh level of Dou Qi... This is also the biggest change that Peiyuan Pill has brought to the Ye family, that is, the cultivation speed of the younger generation has increased significantly.

After chatting with his mother and the other women for a while, Ye Chen and Song Chun'er left the courtyard and went to the residence of the family head in the inner courtyard.

There, Xinlan, who was almost ten years old, was being forced by her father, Ye Lan, to memorize the medicine classics. Beside her, a small white creature sat obediently, its head held high, watching everything...

Looking at the familiar pavilion, the familiar figures, and the equally miserable expression on his sister's face, Ye Chen felt a sense of relief, as if a certain obsession from his childhood had simply vanished.

"Brother~~"

When Xiao Xinlan saw her mother and her brother who had been away returning, she was about to shout with joy, but a cold look from her father frightened her back, and she weakly called out with a mournful face.

That pitiful little expression would probably soften anyone's heart...

Unfortunately, she was faced with Ye Lan, who was determined to carry on the strict fatherly legacy, and a shameless older brother who, while appearing to "feel the same way" on the surface, was secretly overjoyed.

So, Xiaoxinlan, accept your fate!

As for the white fox beside him, upon seeing its master, whom it hadn't seen for many days, it joyfully rushed over and jumped into Ye Chen's arms. This scene immediately made Xin Lan's expression even more aggrieved...

Of course, there was also a kind mother present, so Xiao Xinlan still had a last glimmer of hope...

Song Chun'er didn't seem to want to disappoint her daughter. She quickly walked over, gently hugged her, and stroked the stray hairs on her forehead, saying, "Xinlan, don't be sad. Study the medicine classics carefully. As long as you complete Father's task, you can play. Don't worry, Mother promises it's easy. Your brother didn't even need half an hour to complete it."

After memorizing it…

Upon hearing this, the heartbroken Xinlan burst into tears...

The family enjoyed a happy and cozy afternoon together, except for Xinlan...

Later, when Ye Chen was alone with his father Ye Lan, he also inquired about Xin Yue's situation.

"That girl has been training like crazy lately, either practicing battle qi or battle techniques. She just chose a cultivation method when she broke through to the Dou Zhe level, and she's been diligently practicing that ever since..."

At this point, Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes, even he, as the father, couldn't bear to see his eldest daughter's hard work.

But he also knew his daughter's personality well; although she seemed obedient and well-behaved, she was quite stubborn inside. Knowing she lacked the talent to be an alchemist had a significant impact on her…

Although it was Ye Chen's suggestion and the family's decision to let her develop in the area of ​​battle qi, it has always been a hurdle in Xin Yue's heart.

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

He knew very well that if Xinyue continued in this state, she might end up hurting herself. But even as her older brother, he didn't have a good solution to this situation.

"Perhaps it's time to let Xinyue grow in a different environment..."

Strictly speaking, Xin Yue's talent is not bad, and she even has a great talent in fighting spirit cultivation. It's just that in Zhongzhou and Danyu, she doesn't stand out.

Moreover, the Ye family is a family of alchemists, and her lack of talent in alchemy made Xinyue even more self-conscious...

After pondering for a long time, Ye Chen finally said to his father, "Father, I plan to have Xinyue join Canaan Academy for cultivation after some time..."

"Canaan Academy?" Ye Lan paused, her gaze involuntarily turning to her son.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "When Grandpa Su was here, I also did some in-depth research on Canaan Academy. I know that this academy has very unique advantages in cultivating students, and it has also gathered many talented students from all over the world. If Xin Yue can join it, it should be more beneficial to her growth."

Both of them were well aware of Ye Xinyue's current predicament, and Ye Lan also agreed to let her daughter live in a more relaxed environment.

Canaan Academy, which seems to be known as a gathering place for countless young geniuses, would it really help Xin Yue to succeed if she joined?

"Father, rest assured, after returning to the Pill Tower this time, I will refine the Star Essence Pill as soon as possible, and then..."

Ye Chen didn't say much, after all, this involved the Ye family's most core secret, so it was better to be careful.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Lan's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated and asked, "Chen'er, have you really decided to give this opportunity to Xin Yue?"

Ye Lan knew very well that the Ye family could only possess a maximum of three Star Essence Pills, so each one represented a very important opportunity, an opportunity that could change a person's entire life.

Although he also hoped that his daughter could have a better future, he was still the head of the Ye family, so he was destined to prioritize the family!

However, Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "Father, this Star Essence Pill is ultimately mine, not the family's, so I decide who gets to use it."

As the head of the family, you have many difficult decisions to make. But I am not, so I don't need to worry about those things. Xinyue is my sister, so naturally I will take care of her first if there are good things for her.”

Chapter 176 Seeking Help

Ye Chen did not stay at the Ye family for too long. Since he had already decided to refine the Star Essence Pill, he had no choice but to return to the Pill Tower ahead of schedule.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen wasn't entirely confident in refining the Star Essence Pill yet and still needed the Pill Tower's help.

When Ye Chen hurriedly returned to the Pill Tower and saw his teacher, the latter was clearly somewhat surprised...

"What, you're back so early?"

Given the distance between Saint Dan City and Ye City, in these few days, at most, one can only make a round trip on the road, right?

"Teacher, I have some things I'd like to ask for your help with," Ye Chen said directly.

Xuan Kongzi frowned and said seriously, "Alright, go ahead."
