Chapter 116: Washing Tendons and Cutting Marrow

Ye Liuyun followed Alchemist Huixin back, flipped through several books, and then had nothing else to do.

So he observed Alchemist Huixin refining pills, studied her technique. Afterwards he took out a pill furnace to run experiments for testing.

He initially casually used some pill formulas and herbs, beginning to practice new fire‑control and alchemy techniques.

At the same time, using the power of his Soul, he continuously deduced and fused what he learned in his mind into his previous alchemy methods, improving and enhancing them.

When he felt it was about right, he again forged Condensing Essence Pills.

This time his handling and flame control were even more perfect.

Even Alchemist Huixin, after watching, silently praised Huo Lao's insight. Indeed, Ye Liuyun was an alchemy genius.

And Princess Tian Yue could only be left with envy!

Not long after, Ye Liuyun's pill furnace opened, producing thirty pills per batch, of which ten were Earth Tier low grade, fifteen were Mysterious Tier supreme, and five were Mysterious Tier high grade.

Alchemist Huixin smiled wryly and exclaimed, "Huo Lao was right; you truly are an alchemy genius!"

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun was driven away by Alchemist Huixin!

She didn't refuse to teach him. She had now changed her view of Ye Liuyun, recognizing his talent. She hadn't even had time to befriend someone like him.

It was just that she truly had nothing left to teach him, so she sent Ye Liuyun to learn from Huo Lao. Meanwhile she and Qi Tianyue could no longer endure Ye Liuyun's blows!

When Huo Lao saw Ye Liuyun win the challenge, still focusing on alchemy and improving at lightning speed, he was unusually delighted and henceforth let Ye Liuyun observe his alchemy and learn his methods.

His methods were far more complex than Alchemist Huixin's, yet they could not escape Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and Illusion Pupil.

Two days later, Ye Liuyun's fire‑control skill and alchemy technique had greatly advanced.

Now, forging a batch of Condensing Essence Pills, he could produce three to five Earth Tier medium grade, about twenty Earth Tier low grade, and the rest were Mysterious Tier supreme pills.

Seizing the chance, he refined all the pills he needed again, discarding the lower‑grade ones.

He then gave a portion to Lei Ming and Bald Vulture, keeping the rest to sell later.

That day, Huo Lao asked him, "What are you thinking now? Want to stay at the Spirit Pill Hall?"

Though Ye Liuyun was reluctant to hurt him, he could not stay in alchemy against his heart.

So he said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. Though I have not taken you as master, I will forever remember your kindness. It is just that my ambition lies in the martial path, and I fear I would waste your goodwill! Please forgive me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Lao fell silent.

Ye Liuyun still waited for Huo Lao's temper to flare and scold him harshly.

Unexpectedly, Huo Lao remained unusually calm, only sighing, "Actually, even if you stayed, I have little left to teach you. It's just a pity to waste your alchemy talent."

Then he produced a pill, handed it to Ye Liuyun. "Everyone has their own aspirations; I won't force you! This is a Bone‑Marrow Washing Pill; take it, I hope it aids your martial cultivation."

Ye Liuyun received it excitedly.

He had long heard of this Bone‑Marrow Washing Pill. It can improve the body, transform flesh and bone, and even help when striking a realm.

Moreover, the pill Huo Lao gave him was Heaven Tier low grade, showing Huo Lao truly valued him.

"I have let you down, senior!" Ye Liuyun said apologetically.

"Ha ha, I'm not disappointed. You have your own pursuits, I understand. On the contrary, in such a short time your progress is so great; it proves I didn't misjudge you!"

Huo Lao forced a smile; actually he could not say whether he was disappointed or happy.

Then he said to Ye Liuyun, "Anyway, the Spirit Pill Hall always welcomes you; you may come any time!"

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Liuyun bowed deeply in gratitude.

Before Ye Liuyun left, Huo Lao gave him a Heaven Tier low‑grade pill furnace. That furnace was one he had used himself before and had treasured.

Though Ye Liuyun felt a bit puzzled by Huo Lao's lack of pressure and anger, he thought this outcome was the best possible.

He didn't linger, left the Spirit Pill Hall in high spirits and returned to take the Bone‑Marrow Washing Pill.

After returning to his independent Side Courtyard, his first act was to release Lei Ming and Bald Vulture, letting them get some air.

Then he eagerly swallowed the Bone‑Marrow Washing Pill.

If the reserve inner‑gate disciples learned of this pill, they would scramble madly. Not to mention other effects, just the fact that it could raise the success rate of striking the Sea Transformation realm by several percent was enough to make mouths water.

Yet Ye Liuyun didn't want to wait until he broke through the Sea Transformation realm to use it. He has always been like this: once he has resources, he uses them immediately.

The pill's potency is very gentle. It seeps into every part of the body little by little, like simmering a soup over low fire, nourishing his flesh, bones, and organs…

This is only true for Ye Liuyun; for others the property would not be gentle, after all it is a Heaven Tier pill.

Ye Liuyun immediately activated Immortal Overlord Body Technique, accelerating absorption of the pill's effect.

He vaguely felt his body being improved by the pill's power, undergoing a metamorphosis.

The most obvious change was the Illusion Pupil. Bathed in the pill's nourishment, the pair underwent a huge transformation. Suddenly his sight pierced walls, seeing the scenery outside the room.

This delighted Ye Liuyun immensely. The Illusion Pupil finally achieved a breakthrough, gaining a true X‑ray effect. Previously it could see far only when no obstacles existed; now it had broken through.

Moreover, his bloodline also further awakened under the pill's influence, soon reaching about thirty percent of full-body awakening.

Moreover, impurities throughout his body were gradually expelled. Especially the impurities from previous pills and the five‑element elements he had absorbed were expelled outward.

In just half a hour, a layer of foul‑smelling slime drained from Ye Liuyun's whole body.

Ye Liuyun recalled that when his bloodline first awakened, his aunt had brewed a washing‑tendons‑cut‑marrow decoction, which also expelled a lot of such filth.

He instantly felt his whole body much lighter. Even his Soul grew considerably, appearing more vigorous.

And the Immortal Overlord Body took another step forward, his body emitting a faint golden glow, as if a heavenly deity had descended.

Ye Liuyun felt indescribably refreshed throughout his body!

The pill's effect truly is miraculous; it can truly transform flesh and bone.

Ye Liuyun did not move recklessly. The pill's effect had barely been digested halfway and was still acting.

Moreover, he sensed that the Ten Thousand Gods Command also felt his bodily changes, releasing more golden radiance to cooperate with his physical improvement.

For a moment, Ye Liuyun felt he could not keep up with himself.

His bloodline, Soul, Illusion Pupil, Immortal Overlord Body were all steadily rising. He didn't know which to boost first.

In the end he fully employed Immortal Overlord Body Technique, intending to break through starting from the body.

Finally, the impurities inside Ye Liuyun's body were cleared out, and the Immortal Overlord Body also smoothly broke through to the sixth layer.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed; he never expected that the hardest-to-cultivate Immortal Overlord Body would directly increase by one level thanks to the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Illusion Pupil can pierce through three layers of walls in one breath.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Soul's phantom had begun to solidify, even able to see clearly the eyebrows, eyes, and nose; surprisingly, it looked exactly like himself.

The last bit of medicinal power all concentrated in his bloodline, and his bloodline finally awakened to thirty percent.

All these results made Ye Liuyun overjoyed.
