Chapter 362

Slept well.

Ji Fuyao's eyes flickered with divine radiance as she returned to Xuan Qing Feng, and once again she sensed her master's relaxed ease.

When she first became his disciple, she thought it was laziness.

Later she realized it wasn't.

This is the natural way of the Dao.

Only the master could reach this state; not even the third junior brother could.

Soon.

Lu Xuan, Ji Fuyao, and Ye Chen sat upon the stone table.

Boiled kun fish, snake soup, roasted tiger penis…

Lu Xuan took a few bites and commented, "Not bad. Quite tasty."

Ji Fuyao smiled sweetly, "Mm."

After Lu Xuan finished eating, he lay down again on the Yan Chuang.

Waiting for Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen to finish eating.

He took out the Heavenly Origin Furnace and handed it to Ji Fuyao, saying, "This is the Heavenly Origin Furnace; from now on use it to cook. The Dao Xuan iron pot should retire."

Ji Fuyao took it and examined it closely.

This ancient iron furnace contains a terrifying Dao Resonance, flowing with 'Dao' and 'Momentum,' even more fearsome than her Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon, Xiao Tian.

Ji Fuyao asked, "Master, what is the difference?"

Lu Xuan casually said, "Just a mere third-rank quasi-Dao Sovereign level."

The Heavenly Origin Furnace trembled slightly, showing its displeasure.

Ji Fuyao gently patted the Heavenly Origin Furnace, saying, "Supreme weapons are trash before my master; let alone you, a quasi-Dao Sovereign."

The Heavenly Origin Furnace wanted to cry but had no tears.

Thinking that its destiny was to cook, it felt a pang of sorrow.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "The Heavenly Origin Furnace also contains rich rule power; early exposure to rule power's influence benefits you."

Ye Chen excitedly said, "Good!"

Yao Lao muttered to himself, "My Yao family only has a second-rank quasi-Dao Sovereign alchemy furnace; that is a clan treasure."

"How could anyone casually toss out something like Peak Master Lu does just to cook!"

"This shows the importance of foundation! Disciples must be nurtured richly! Although Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao are one-star emperors, their Dao Resonance rivals that of five-star emperors!"

Just as Yao Yan was secretly pondering, Lu Xuan waved his hand, "Ye Chen, follow me; I have prepared a gift for Yao Lao."

Yao Yan felt somewhat excited.

Ye Chen followed Lu Xuan into the cave dwelling, and Yao Yan's soul flew out from the jade pendant on Ye Chen's chest.

Lu Xuan directly took out an imperial body, saying, "Yao Lao, you have worried yourself sick for Ye Chen; I will now help you reunite with a fleshly body."

"This is the fleshly body of a nine-star emperor; I will first have it acknowledge you as master, then you will directly prove the Dao! Moreover, as you continually refine the power within this fleshly body, breaking through to high-star emperor realm is no problem."

The voice fell!

Yao Yan was left stunned on the spot!

Prove the Dao!

Yao Yan's soul trembled slightly, "Many thanks, Peak Master Lu, for your recreation grace."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Not worth mentioning."

Next, Lu Xuan transmitted a spiritual technique to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan's soul drifted directly into the imperial body; he silently recited the spiritual technique Lu Xuan gave him, and soon mysterious aura surged over the body, endless brilliant Dao patterns flowing forth.

His soul began to form an intangible bond with this imperial body.

There was an indescribable qi mechanism.

Countless threads appeared, and Yao Yan felt he was gradually gaining control of this fleshly body.

Half a day later.

Boom!

An emperor-level pressure erupted from this fleshly body, and Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He succeeded!

Now this imperial body has acknowledged its master!

He has proved the Dao!

Moreover, Yao Yan can clearly sense the terrifying power contained within this fleshly body; given time, as long as he refines these powers, he will become a high-star emperor!

Ye Chen rose excitedly, his eye sockets slightly red, "Yao Lao, you have finally recovered."

Yao Lao patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Very good, very good."

Just then.

A divine rainbow shot toward Xuan Qing Feng.

Boom!

The master of Dan Peak, Gu Yuefang in a gray robe, descended onto Xuan Qing Feng.

"Lu Xuan, the Yao family has an invitation."

Lu Xuan welcomed Gu Yuefang into the cave dwelling.

Gu Yuefang glanced at Yao Yan and asked, "Which Dao friend is this?"

Yao Yan smiled, "A friend of Peak Master Lu."

Gu Yuefang nodded, took out an invitation, and said, "In three months, it will be the Yao family's centennial pill gathering! This is the Yao family's invitation to my Dan Peak."

By then, not only will the Yao family's old ancestor give a lecture on the Dao, but there will also be a pill-refining competition among the younger generation.

Ye Chen's pill-refining talent is heaven-defying; such a grand gathering must not be missed!

Hearing this, Ye Chen's body trembled slightly.

The Yao family... it's time to go!

By then, I can reunite with my mother!

He will also send a voice transmission to his father about this, letting his father come along.

Gu Yuefang looked at Lu Xuan, "Chief Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Xuan smiled, "Go, of course we must go."

Gu Yuefang smiled, "Good. Ye Chen, during this time, besides cultivating martial arts, you can refine a few more batches of pills."

Ye Chen said, "Okay."

Soon.

Gu Yuefang departed.

Ye Chen looked at Yao Yan, "Old Yao, who is the strongest pill refiner of the Yao family?"

Yao Yan thought, "Naturally it's the Yao family's founding ancestor Yao Chen, but the founding ancestor cannot manifest now. The strongest pill refiner should be the old ancestor Yao Feng of the Holy Son lineage!"

Yao Feng!

Ye Chen wore a serious expression, "This time returning to the Yao family, I absolutely cannot disappoint my mother. In three months, I want to become the strongest pill refiner of Nan Huang!"

"Master, Old Yao, lend me your strength!"

Yao Yan was stunned.

How could this be easy?

Ye Chen is indeed a Heaven-tier pill refiner now.

But among Heaven-tier pill refiners, there are still differences!

At this moment, Lu Xuan smiled, "Alright. Three months, I guarantee you will be the strongest pill refiner of Nan Huang, no one else!"

He directly inscribed his pill-refining insights onto a jade slip and threw it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen probed it with his divine sense and was instantly stunned in place.

These insights!

They are practically tailor-made for him!

Some of the ideas are exactly what he had been contemplating, now extended by his master.

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel moved.

His master understands him even better than his own father!

He has always been silently paying attention to him.

Ah...

Ye Chen's eyes became moist.

Lu Xuan patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Go on. Don't let these insights bind your pill-refining thoughts. Those who learn from me live; those who imitate me die."

"After a while, come find me again, and I'll give you further guidance."

Ye Chen said, "Okay, Master."

Next, Ye Chen can frantically refine pills.

Old Yao said the Yao family values pill-refining prowess, right?

Then he will become the strongest in Nan Huang, overwhelming Yao Feng!

By then, he won't need the master's 'winning people over with virtue'; relying on his pill-refining prowess alone will make the Yao family acknowledge him.

He doesn't want to embarrass his mother.

Furthermore, Old Yao told him that the Yao family's various branches are complicated, with the Holy Son lineage and Holy Daughter lineage opposing each other for a long time.

Because this is the Yao family, his mother's clan, he doesn't want to make a big fuss.

Therefore, he hopes to receive genuine recognition from the Yao family.

Not only because he is the disciple of the White-robed Supreme, but because of his own pill-refining prowess.

One day.

Ten days.

One month.

Two months.

Time flies!

Ye Chen's pill-refining prowess keeps surging.

He often comes to ask Lu Xuan for advice.

Lu Xuan's casual remark can leave him stunned for half a day.

"A single word from the master outweighs refining a hundred batches of pills!"

Even Yao Yan was shocked.

Ye Chen is practically born for pill refining.

"Chen'er, I can no longer understand your pill-refining methods!"

"Your pill-refining level... probably already rivals the ancestor!"

Ye Chen shook his head, "Not enough yet."

Sweat was flowing on his face.

In his hand, the spiritual seals shifted, his pill-refining technique flowed like clouds and water, brimming with Dao Resonance.

Yao Yan felt a bit sad, "Chen'er is going to astonish the whole Nan Huang!"

Soon.

Only ten days remain until the Yao family's medicinal pill grand assembly.

Dan Peak's Peak Master, Gu Yuefang, sent word: 'In seven days, we will depart, heading to the Yao family.'

Meanwhile, Shadow Island, the Demon Court, and the Holy Alliance — the three major powers — were also secretly contacting the Yao family.

They also wished to descend.

Come to exchange star stones.
