Chapter 65

Ye Chen, you little brat, where did you learn this? You don't learn the good stuff, you learn the bad!

However, in the eyes of Danxiangzi and Yao Bai Li, a mere million top-grade spirit stones really aren't anything.

The alchemy insights gained from Ye Chen are even more valuable!

The last to arrive was the Yao family, Yao Bai Li.

Inside Lu Xuan's cave dwelling.

Yao Bai Li looked at Ye Chen with a mysterious expression and probed, "Ye Chen, your talent for alchemy is high; could it be that your father and mother are also alchemists?"

Ye Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Senior Yao, you still don't understand my mother?"

Yao Bai Li's expression changed slightly, and he transmitted via voice, "Your mother's situation... Lu Xuan is here, so it's not convenient for me to say."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "My master knows about this."

Yao Bai Li was directly stunned.

At this moment.

The jade pendant on Ye Chen's chest flickered, and Yao Yan's voice slowly appeared, "Yao Bai Li, I didn't expect it to be you, this brat, leading the team to the Great Dao Sect?"

Yao Bai Li furrowed his brows tightly and asked, "Who are you?"

Yao Yan emerged from Ye Chen's jade pendant, "The Yao family, Yao Yan."

Looking at Yao Yan's soul form, Yao Bai Li's expression drastically changed, "Yao Yan, Old Ancestor, you've been missing for sixteen years! What happened?"

Yao Yan immediately told Yao Bai Li what happened back then.

After listening.

Yao Bai Li's face turned pale, "Old Ancestor, no wonder over a decade has passed; others' soul lamps have gone out, but yours hasn't, yet our branch has never received any word from you."

Yao Yan sighed repeatedly.

Ye Chen asked, "Senior Bai Li, how is my mother now?"

Yao Bai Li sighed, "Your mother, Yao Liuli, is still being punished in the Guilty Valley!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's body trembled, he clenched his fists, "It's all my fault for being too weak now; otherwise I could rescue my mother!"

Yao Bai Li looked at Ye Chen and said earnestly, "Dust child, do not act rashly! The Yao family still doesn't know about you! Once exposed, the Yao family will absolutely not allow the Qingcheng Ye family to exist!"

The Yao family's foundation is deep; even if you step into the first-star Emperor realm, you still cannot shake the Yao family in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I will strive!"

Yao Bai Li said, "Dust child, the current situation has been bought at great cost by your mother's branch! You must not expose yourself prematurely!"

Ye Chen's face turned pale, he clenched his fist and said, "I understand."

Yao Bai Li asked Yao Yan, "Old Ancestor, who do you think back then used a corner of the Great Emperor's formation pattern to drive you into the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone?"

Yao Yan's voice was full of resentment, "It's the Holy Son's branch!"

You should know, in the Yao family, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter branches have always been at odds.

In the Yao family, these two branches are in competition, but as time passes, they have developed a deep grudge.

Ye Chen's mother, Yao Liuli, as a Holy Daughter, violated the clan rules, and the Holy Son directly kicked her when she was down!

Yao Yan said coldly, "But now it's different; our Holy Daughter branch has Lu Fengzhu! If Lu Fengzhu takes action, no one in the Yao family can stop him! Even if the sleeping ancestors all come out, they still can't stop him!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Bai Li said with a respectful expression, "Lord Lu Fengzhu, forgive my ignorance; I apologize to you. Over these years, many in Nan Huang have mocked you, and I am one of them."

Lu Xuan: "......"

Ye Chen said, "Senior Bai Li, my master is very low-key; he won't take these things to heart. With my master's strength, if he really wanted to settle scores, Nan Huang would likely run red with blood."

Yao Bai Li secretly felt alarmed and carefully sized up Lu Xuan.

The more he looked, the more startled he became!

Who could have imagined?

Lu Xuan has been hiding his prowess!

Actually, he is a powerhouse capable of suppressing even the strange power!

Soon.

Yao Bai Li realized.

A powerhouse like Lu Xuan has long been transcendent and above worldly matters; he simply disdains them!

Yao Bai Li couldn't help but recall that during these days of the alchemy exchange conference, Lu Xuan has been sleeping.

This is because he finds it too boring!

After a moment.

Yao Bai Li suppressed his excitement and looked at Ye Chen, "Dust child, may I see that strange power?"

Ye Chen glanced at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

Ye Chen took out the Great Dao Lock and handed it to Yao Bai Li.

Yao Bai Li looked at the ancient chain lock before him, endless splendid Dao patterns flickering on it, a dim and ancient qi circulating, inside the chain's internal space, mysterious black mist constantly shifting shapes, making him feel extreme palpitations.

"Is this the strange power?"

Yao Bai Li was somewhat shocked and returned the Great Dao Lock to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen showed a reminiscent expression, "All this is thanks to my master's descent, which helped me suppress the strange power."

Yao Bai Li's body trembled as he looked at Ye Chen, "Just casually suppressing a wisp of strange power, how strong is Lord Lu Fengzhu's strength? If Lord Lu Fengzhu directly took action, even if all the Yao family ancestors came out, they might not be able to block him!"

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

This this this...

Sometime unnoticed, he had become a god-like invincible existence in the hearts of Ye Chen and the others!

Since that is the case.

He also could only continue pretending.

At this moment, Ye Chen reminded Yao Bai Li, "Senior Bai Li. Regarding my master's invincibility, you just need to know; absolutely do not tell a second person! My master is very low-key and does not wish to reveal too much."

Yao Bai Li nodded heavily.

Not long after.

Yao Bai Li left.

His heart surged with tremendous waves!

This time coming to the Great Dao Sect, I actually learned so many secrets!

Soon.

Numerous Heaven-tier alchemists left the Great Dao Sect.

This time's alchemy exchange conference can be considered to have ended "perfectly"!

The many elders and disciples of the Great Dao Sect were extremely excited.

Who would have thought that Ye Chen would become the most eye-catching presence of this alchemy exchange conference!

It's simply heaven-defying!

Whether it's herbal mastery, soul power, or alchemy, they completely crush the Ya family and Danxiang Sect!

Everyone was discussing heatedly.

"Ye Chen's junior brother's soul power can withstand over ten Supreme Profound Sect disciples—it's absolutely terrifying! One person can instantly kill over ten disciples! If it weren't for Yunyang Dansheng's intervention, Nangong Bailue would have died!"

"Unbeknownst to us, Peak Master Lu already has two disciples. And they are both heaven-defying monsters!"

"Could it be that Peak Master Lu really has a way of teaching disciples?"

"What nonsense! It's not because Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao have behind-the-scenes guidance from a Dao protector; Peak Master Lu is just using the master's name as a title."

"……"

On Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan was leisurely lying on the Xuanbing bed.

The system's voice suddenly appeared.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the time-limited disciple cultivation task!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a large amount of cultivation foundation!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a six-star imperial armament, the Daoxuan Iron Pot!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a heavenly-earth treasure, Qingming Heavenly Water!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a five-star imperial rank killing formation disk!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining one five-star great emperor experience card!"

The voice fell!

Lu Xuan's body was flooded with a vast amount of cultivation foundation, surging like great rivers against his limbs and bones, and beneath his dantian it gathered like a vast sea.

His cultivation was skyrocketing!

Four-star Xuan Saint!

Five-star Xuan Saint!

The tingling sensation from the cultivation impacting his inner world made Lu Xuan's body tremble slightly.

This feeling is truly incredibly refreshing!

Next.

With a thought from Lu Xuan, a pitch-black large iron pot appeared before him.

He was instantly stunned.

What a huge black pot!

If it weren't for the terrifying Dao patterns engraved on it, Lu Xuan would somewhat doubt whether this is an imperial armament.

The system said, "This is for the host's convenience in cooking. Using this Daoxuan Iron Pot to cook can integrate the 'Dao' and 'Yun' into the food."

Lu Xuan smiled, "Interesting! Let's put this big pot on Xuan Qing Feng."

The system said, "Our system has already inscribed the supreme Dao patterns onto the Daoxuan Iron Pot; only when cooking can it display its wondrous power! How about it, is our system thoughtful?"

Lu Xuan said, "Thoughtful."

He put away the Daoxuan Iron Pot and then took out the next reward.

An ancient-looking vat suddenly appeared.

The vat is merely an ordinary one-star imperial armament, but inside it contains the heavenly-earth treasure Qingming Heavenly Water!

What is Qingming Heavenly Water?

Between heaven and earth there are some mysterious places, filled with the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, brimming with "Dao" and "Li"; after endless ages of sedimentation, Qingming Heavenly Water is born in these mysterious places!

Thus, Qingming Heavenly Water is the manifestation of the ultimate truths of heaven and earth; each drop is worth a fortune!

If this vat of Qingming Heavenly Water were exposed, likely several hegemon-level forces of Nan Huang would directly descend upon the Great Dao Sect, even willing to wage war to obtain it!

Know that a single drop of Qingming Heavenly Water can fetch an astronomical price at auction in the outside world!

But here Lu Xuan has a vat of Qingming Heavenly Water!

Qingming Heavenly Water can improve a cultivator's flesh, soul, Dao foundation, bones, and blood; it can be said to transform the cultivator from inside out!

Lu Xuan lightly said, "Using this Qingming Heavenly Water for cooking is actually suitable."

By then, Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao's talents will become even more heaven-defying!

Cultivation speed will be even faster!

Lu Xuan lifted the Qingming Heavenly Water and took a sip.

"Hmm..."

A cool feeling.

Besides that, there was no change in his body.

Lu Xuan said lightly, "Isn't it said that Qingming Heavenly Water can completely remake a cultivator's aptitude? Why do I feel nothing?"

System said, "The host's physique is too trash. Even drinking this vat of Qingming Heavenly Water may not be useful."

Lu Xuan was utterly stunned.

Holy shit?

Innate cultivation crippled body!!

Heaven closed the window on him, and even welded the door shut!

Lu Xuan wanted to cry but had no tears!

Fortunately he had a cheat, otherwise he really couldn't stand it!

What the hell, cultivating a hammer!

From now on, good stuff must still be given to the disciple!

Give it to the disciple, and he'll lie back and earn ten thousand profits!

If he uses it himself, he's afraid it'll all go to waste, completely a hundred harms with no benefit!

Putting away the Qingming Heavenly Water, Lu Xuan took out a black formation plate.

Five-star Emperor rank!

System said, "Once the killing formation is laid, if someone intrudes, it will automatically activate. With a thought from the host, it can instantly kill a five-star Emperor, lasting three hours."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly, "Not bad, not bad."

He casually tossed the formation plate onto Xuan Qing Feng, and the five-star Emperor rank killing formation was directly set up.

Lu Xuan murmured, "Waiting for a lucky one."

Next, he began to check the five-star Emperor experience card!

This is a good thing!

In his system space, there's still a one-star Emperor experience card unused!
