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

Although this young man comes from such a small family, he is quite satisfied with his performance in all aspects so far. If he is properly nurtured, he may very well amount to something in the future...

Perhaps, I will have the chance to set foot on that land of Zhongzhou again!

After calming himself down, the old apothecary reiterated the basics of his Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Strange Flame Ranking, and then began refining Qi Gathering Powder for his disciple.

Regardless, let's focus on getting this little guy back to the Dou Zhe level first; everything else is still too far off...

……

……

At the same time, in the Black Corner Region, at Canaan Academy.

Although it was the enrollment season for the foreign language department, this had no impact on the internal language department at all.

At this moment, in the central square of the inner courtyard...

This is the largest area in the inner courtyard. Normally, this square is not open to the public; it is only opened when the inner courtyard holds competitions.

As the most exciting "Top Ranking" competition in the inner courtyard, this is naturally the perfect venue.

Yes, this is the day of the new Inner Academy Strong Ranking Competition, which can also be described as a reshuffling of the major forces in the entire Inner Academy...

On such an important day, countless teachers and students throughout the inner courtyard were naturally alarmed.

Although the central square covers a vast area, it was still filled with countless dark heads today. Looking around, the bustling crowd, accompanied by noise, spread in all directions and finally converged into a single mass that soared into the sky.

Chapter 200 Xinyue and the Star Pavilion

As a "freshman" who had only been in the inner academy for a year, Ye Xinyue was similar to Xiao Yan, who had a protagonist's halo in the original work. She was not exploited or bullied by the senior students like other freshmen.

This was not due to her status or the protection of Elder Su Qian, but rather to her own strength!

A year ago, after returning to the Ye family, Ye Xinyue's cultivation level naturally broke through from Great Dou Master to Dou Spirit.

Moreover, when she won first place in the outer academy's competition, she was fortunate enough to obtain a high-level Earth-rank combat skill from the academy's library, which greatly enhanced her combat power.

Although the Ye family had a wealth of resources and possessed many high-level Earth-rank combat techniques, Ye Xinyue did not covet more. She focused on diligently practicing the "Mysterious Spirit Sword" technique she obtained from the academy. Combined with the extremely powerful combat energy accumulated from the Heaven-rank cultivation method, fighting against opponents of higher ranks was a piece of cake for her.

During her year in the inner courtyard, Ye Xinyue also established the first all-female faction in the entire inner courtyard, "Star Pavilion"...

And the best helper for Xin Yue, the Pavilion Master, is none other than Han Yue, the master who established the "Moon Spirit" inner courtyard power in the original work!

Speaking of which, Han Yue is a year ahead of Ye Xinyue, making her Ye Xinyue's senior. After a year of cultivation in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, her strength has broken through to the Dou Ling level, and she originally planned to build her own power.

However, by chance, he met Ye Xinyue, who was just a freshman. The two got along very well. In addition, Xinyue's improvement speed made Han Yue have to admit defeat. So, the two finally put their heads together and the Star Pavilion was born.

However, Han Yue had a lingering question: why was the organization named Star Pavilion? It didn't capture the aesthetic appeal of an all-female gang at all…

Although the square was already packed with people when Xinyue and her group arrived, with a human wall forming in front of them, the appearance of such a beautiful group of women instantly made them the most beautiful sight in the entire square. The boys who were blocking their way unconsciously made way for them.

Ye Xinyue and Han Yue seemed to be used to this, walking in without looking to the side, completely ignoring the adoring glances from those around them.

As for the group of young ladies following behind the two pavilion masters and the deputy pavilion master, they were somewhat shy, and many of the new students even blushed and lowered their heads, only able to instinctively follow the group.

"Hehe, Sister Yue, this competition is much better than the inner court selection competition back then."

Standing on the high platform, Xin Yue's gaze swept down, and she saw that the spacious area was neatly divided into five platforms, which should be the venue for this competition.

With her arms braced against the railing, her delicate body, wrapped in a blue dress, stretched out its beautiful curves, captivating countless men's gazes.

Of course, Han Yue next to her was by no means weak either...

She wore a silver dress and had a tall, curvaceous figure.

Although her face was slightly thin, it was a rare beauty, with skin as white as snow and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

Of course, what's most surprising is Han Yue's waist-length hair, which is a rare silver color. The silver hair, combined with her silver dress, gives her an aloof and unapproachable aura, making her seem like someone you can admire from afar but not touch.

These two beauties standing together cannot be said to be...

It's not about vying for attention; each has its own unique strengths...

Of course, in this world, while beauty is attractive, strength is the foundation of everything.

If you look closely at the gazes of the men who are looking at the two of them, you will find that these gazes contain not only the usual admiration of men for beautiful women, but also a deep sense of fear behind that admiration.

This is precisely because of their formidable strength.

Upon hearing Xin Yue's words, Han Yue's cold demeanor softened slightly. She said softly, "This inner courtyard is a place where geniuses gather. To be able to enter the top fifty in such a place full of geniuses, there are naturally no ordinary people. In this competition, there are quite a few people whose cultivation level surpasses yours and mine. However, as long as you can enter the top fifty this time, Xin Yue, our Star Pavilion's status in the inner courtyard will be raised again."

Their status and strength determine the resources they can obtain in the inner court.

In terms of cultivation level alone in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, the better positions are often contested by powerful individuals and groups. The Star Pavilion has only been established for less than a year, so if you want to obtain these positions, there is no other way but to fight for them with your strength!

However, Ye Xinyue's thoughts were clearly slightly different from those of her senior...

"Top 50? Sister Yue, don't underestimate me..." With a slight smile, her elegant and beautiful face exuded a strong sense of confidence.

It has to be said that Ye Chen's decision to bring Xin Yue to Canaan Academy was absolutely the right one.

During her two-plus years of study at Canaan Academy, Xinyue not only improved her skills, but also her strong self-confidence.

I am not a waste, nor a burden on my family. As long as I work hard, I can become a pillar of my family in the future and help the person who is most important to me...

Hearing her younger sister's confident words, Han Yue's gaze froze for a moment, and then she immediately turned her head in surprise to stare at the other's face.

"Xinyue, don't tell me your cultivation has broken through again recently?!"

To be honest, Han Yue was really scared after having this idea.

It should be noted that Ye Xinyue was already a four-star Dou Ling before. Such a terrifying cultivation speed was something she had never heard of even in Zhongzhou.

Although Han Yue suspected that her friend's background was not simple, and that she might even come from a force more powerful than their Han family, this cultivation speed was just too astonishing.

Facing Han Yue's gaze, Ye Xinyue smiled and nodded, saying lightly, "Yes, it was just a lucky breakthrough during my previous cultivation..."

really!

Han Yue was deeply shocked.

You have to understand that when the two of them first met, this girl's cultivation level was not as high as his!

But now?

In just over a year, despite my diligent cultivation, I only managed to break through to the three-star Dou Ling realm a little over a month ago, yet my opponent has surpassed me by two stars in cultivation!

"You really are a monster!"

In the end, Han Yue could only utter this sigh.

However, after hearing what the other person said, Ye Xinyue secretly rolled her eyes playfully, chuckled coldly to herself, and said with a sneer, "Monster? Once you meet my brother, you'll truly understand what a real monster is..."

Chapter 201 The Competition Begins, Xinyue and Ziyan

This year's inner court elites are a veritable gathering of masters.

Characters like Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing from the original work have already shown their talent, and their strength is above the six-star Dou Ling level.

Besides these, there are also some powerful figures who did not appear in the original work. They are all senior students who are about to graduate and leave. Their strength is even above the peak of Dou Ling, and there are even some Dou Wangs...

Normally, even if Xin Yue possessed the strength to fight a high-level Dou Ling alone, she wouldn't dare say she could achieve a very high ranking, since the difference in Dou Qi realm still exists.

However, most of the older students were already leaving. Even those who chose to stay were qualified to apply for the position of elder after breaking through to the Dou Wang level. Therefore, they no longer had to compete with these younger students for rankings.

This resulted in a situation where, although there were many strong participants in this ranking competition, very few actually wanted to compete, which gave opportunities to people like Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing.

This naturally included Ye Xinyue herself; she was aiming for the top ten of the rankings this time. In fact, this ambitious young girl even managed to climb to second place on the rankings…

Yes, the second one!

This is also the highest ranking that all participants in this competition can achieve.

As for that mysterious first place...

Ever since that mysterious guy who looked like a little kid knocked down a Fighting King with one punch and won first place in the last Strong Ranking Competition, no one has dared to covet this position.

The unfortunate fellow who was used as a stepping stone had originally accepted Elder Su Qian's invitation to stay at the academy, but after this incident, he was too ashamed to remain in the inner courtyard and went straight to graduate and venture out onto the continent...

I heard that the Grand Elder was so angry about this that he was practically fuming, but there was nothing he could do.

While others only knew of the mysterious figure's power, Xin Yue knew far more about the mysterious number one on the power rankings...

In fact, the two had a very good relationship.

Of course, the reason is quite simple...

The so-called number one on the ranking list is naturally Zi Yan. At this stage, this girl is still the little tyrant of the entire inner courtyard. Not to mention these students, even the elders are helpless against her.

The reason why Xinyue knows Ziyan is somewhat similar to that of Xiao Yan in the original novel.

The story begins a month ago...

More than a month ago, Xinyue was practicing her fighting skill, the Xuanling Sword, in the deep mountains of the inner estate when she accidentally discovered the sounds of battle and heard the pitiful roars of beasts.

Out of curiosity, Xin Yue quietly went over, and then saw a fifth-tier magical beast, the Sawtooth Elephant, whose body was as big as a small mountain, being utterly defeated by a petite figure...

The petite figure was a little girl in white who was only about Ye Xinyue's chest height. The little girl seemed to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Her long, light purple hair reached her waist, and her face was extremely fair and delicate, with a delicate and adorable appearance.

This scene was quite a shock to Xin Yue, after all, the size difference between the perpetrator and the victim was too great, the former was not even as big as the latter's jagged edges.

Even so, every time the former's small, white fist struck the serrated elephant's thick-skinned body, it would cause the latter to let out a series of screams...

"Hmph! You big, clumsy elephant!"

"All I did was take one of your fruits, and you dare to bump your nose into me like that? I'll beat you to death!"

As she spoke, the little girl seemed to recall the pain she had felt when the other person hit her with that huge elephant trunk, and she angrily threw two more punches.

The sawtooth elephant was beaten senseless and could only lie limply on the ground, pitifully letting its opponent vent their anger on it...

Seeing that the big guy had started to play dead, the little girl lost interest in continuing to beat him up. She just shook her head and hummed a couple of times before taking her spoils and leaving.

Having witnessed the entire process, Ye Xinyue was filled with curiosity about the little girl, and also about the golden fruit in her hand...

Although Ye Xinyue, who comes from a family of alchemists, doesn't have much talent in alchemy herself, her knowledge of medicinal herbs is no less than that of advanced alchemists.

Therefore, she immediately recognized that the golden fruit in the little girl's hand was a very rare medicinal herb called the Diamond Fruit...

This medicinal herb is the main ingredient for refining the fifth-grade elixir, Vajra Pill. It can enhance the user's strength and physical defense, making it a very good elixir.

Of course, the Vajra Fruit is also a favorite spiritual item of many defensive magical beasts. For example, the Sawtooth Elephant, if it can consume a Vajra Fruit of sufficient age, may even have a chance to break through to the sixth rank...

This is probably one of the reasons why the saw-toothed elephant guarded the golden fruit so carefully, but it never expected that it would be stolen by such a little girl in the end...

Out of curiosity, Ye Xinyue secretly followed the girl for a while. She originally thought that although the girl was strong in combat, she should be able to avoid her by using her unique ability to conceal her presence. However, she did not expect that she would be discovered after walking less than a hundred meters.

Looking at the cute girl standing opposite her, and facing the girl's pure and innocent eyes, Ye Xinyue felt extremely embarrassed...

"You want to steal my things too?"

The voice was as clear and melodious as a child's, carrying a hint of indifference, yet Ye Xinyue could detect a chilling killing intent within it...

"No, it's not..."

Startled, Xin Yue quickly waved her hands, her voice stammering.

There was no way around it; the scene of the opponent easily defeating a fifth-tier magical beast forged from defense and strength was still vivid in her mind, so she couldn't help but worry that the opponent might just punch her flat.

Frowning, the little girl glanced at the other person's school uniform and then suppressed her murderous intent, saying, "You're from Canaan Academy too, right? Hmph, I'll let it slide for now. But if you dare to secretly follow me again, I'll beat you up!"

As she spoke, the little girl picked up the golden apple in her hand and took a big bite...

"Don't……!"

Seeing this, Xin Yue wanted to speak up and stop them again.

She knew perfectly well that the reason this golden fruit was called that wasn't just because it was golden in color, but also because its hardness was comparable to that of metal and stone...

Even an ordinary person, or even a fighting king, would have all their teeth shattered if they took such a bite, right?

But seeing a piece of the diamond fruit, which she considered harder than metal and stone, being bitten off by the little girl's white, tender teeth, Ye Xinyue was completely dumbfounded...

"Squeaky..."

The crisp chewing sound startled Xinyue from her daze, and her originally beautiful face began to show a somewhat out-of-control expression.

Chapter 202 Abduction

A chance encounter led Ye Xinyue to meet Zi Yan.

Driven by her family background as an alchemist, Ye Xinyue instinctively felt sorry to see the other party just eating a rare medicinal herb. However, given the other party's strength, Ye Xinyue took out a fifth-grade pill, hoping to persuade the other party to give up this reckless act of eating the herb raw.
