Chapter 1710

This ninth-rank pill is truly terrifying; one pill can cause a regular martial artist's strength to leap forward.

Of course, this ninth-rank, ninth-grade pill also has its drawbacks.

Even if a martial artist consumes it, they must still refine its medicinal power.

Otherwise, the pill's effects vanish entirely.

Refining the medicinal power of this ninth-rank pill requires immense time and energy, and is extremely dangerous—any slight mistake leads to explosive death.

Thus, refining this ninth-grade pill demands both profound foundation and fortune.

Just like Ye Wuchen—he consumed this ninth-rank, ninth-grade pill, yet still failed to refine its power and exploded to death.

"Now I am already a Wu Zong Sixth Layer expert."

"In a few years, when I break through to the Semi-Wu Zun realm, then I can attempt to refine this ninth-grade pill!"

Ximen Wudi thought to himself.

This ninth-grade pill is indeed defying heaven, offering tremendous benefits to martial artists.

But this world has no shortcuts.

Unless you possess a divine artifact or a secret technique, some kind of auxiliary treasure.

Otherwise, even Wu Zong experts of Seventh or Eighth Layer have no guarantee of refining this ninth-rank pill.

Ye Wuchen's ability to refine it was merely his fortune.

"It seems I'm ready to break through to the Wu Zun realm!"

Ximen Wudi murmured to himself.

He planned to break through in one month.

After all, his five viscera and six bowels were all severely damaged; if he stayed here any longer, he wouldn't recover for at least ten or eight years.

Moreover, the items in the Yinming Wang Palace were extremely important to him—he couldn't let them fall into others' hands.

So Ximen Wudi intended to seize the Yinming Wang Palace and store it in his Zhao Qiankun Ring during his breakthrough.

Then Ximen Wudi returned to the palace and emptied it of everything inside.

Afterward, he left and headed toward the distance.

This place was far from Yinming City; reaching it would still take a long time.

Ye Wuchen would remain here for a long while yet.

This period was perfect for him to cultivate and solidify his realm!

Within Yinming City, Ximen Wudi found the largest auction house in the city.

He walked directly into the auction house.

"Mr., may I assist you?"

At that moment, a beautiful maid in a qipao approached.

"I'm here to buy something."

Ximen Wudi said bluntly.

"What would you like to purchase, Mr.?"

The maid asked with a smile.

"I need a plot of land—preferably one suitable for building a mansion!"

Ximen Wudi said, handing her three million taels in silver notes.

Seeing the three-million-tael silver note, the maid's eyes gleamed with sharp light.

"What kind of mansion would you like to build?"

"If you wish to build a mansion within Yinming City, it might be worth considering."

"Because within Yinming City, there is already another mansion—owned by another powerful clan."

The maid said.

"What is the name of that mansion?"

Ximen Wudi said coolly.

"It is called Xue Mo Shanzhuang."

"That mansion is built right on top of Xue Mo Shanzhuang!"

The maid said.

"Xue Mo Shanzhuang?"

Ximen Wudi murmured to himself.

"Very well, thank you!"

Ximen Wudi left immediately.

This time, he would go to Xue Mo Shanzhuang and take a look.

He intended to see for himself just who exactly resided in Xue Mo Shanzhuang.

……

At this moment, within Xue Mo Shanzhuang, it was bustling with activity, countless martial artists coming and going.

Moreover, the master of Xue Mo Shanzhuang was none other than Ye Wuchen.

"Young Master Ye, I heard your younger brother Ye Wuchen was defeated—is that true?"

"Yes!"

"What a pity."

……

A group of people discussed animatedly.

Ye Wuchen sat to one side, his face full of smugness.

This Ye Wuchen was a heaven's pride of the Ye clan, and his position within the Ye clan could be called pivotal; ordinarily, who among them did not fawn and flatter him?

But today, his limelight had been suppressed by an outsider.

This person had not only killed Ye Wuchen, but had even crippled that genius of the Ye clan — it was simply going too far.

"Just where did this Ye Wuqing pop out from, some wild brat, daring to injure Young Master Ye?"

"Exactly!"

"No matter what, this Ye Wuqing must apologize to Young Master Ye, otherwise, even if Old Master Ye steps in, he won't be able to protect him."

"Old Master Ye can only protect him, that's all."

……

The crowd discussed.

Who was Ye Wuqing?

The Ye clan's second young master.

The Ye clan could be called a local overlord in this Youming City, a colossal entity spanning the entire Northern Domain.

Although the Ye clan's eldest young master, Ye Qingli, was also a monstrous genius,

compared with Ye Wuqing, the difference was simply heaven and earth.

That was why Ye Wuchen dared to act so arrogant and overbearing, doing whatever he pleased.

Moreover, people like Ye Wuchen in this Youming City were simply too numerous to count.

So, they were not in the least worried that Ye Qingli could save Ye Qingli.

And Ye Qingli, indeed, was exactly as they had guessed.

In this Youming City, she did not know of Ye Wuqing's existence.

During this period, she had been in closed-door cultivation, preparing to break through to the Wu Huangjing.

Over this past month or so, Ye Qingli had already finished comprehending all the cultivation arts here, and had eaten up all those pills.

So, she was finally about to break through to Wu Huang.

She was now preparing some resources.

After all, spirit stones in this world were far too scarce, and the prices far too high, so she planned to refine some pills to exchange for a large amount of spirit stones, to raise her own cultivation.

Of course, she did not forget to provide pills for herself.

During this period of closed-door cultivation, she discovered that all the pill recipes she had learned had actually been improved.
