Inside the Hua Yun Sect.
Ye Yun locked himself in a specific alchemy chamber within the Hua Yun Sect for several days and nights, refining pills tirelessly, almost to the point of madness. His consciousness remained very clear; by overexerting himself in pill refining, he could consume the Wind Elemental at the maximum rate, and then, when the Wind Elemental was extremely depleted, he could meditate calmly. The benefits obtained this way were far faster than normal cultivation.
Because Ye Yun carried an unwavering belief in his heart: to increase his strength!
To increase his strength, he was willing to try any method! Even if it meant torturing himself, he didn't utter a single word of complaint. At present, the most effective way to speed up cultivation was alchemy!
Since returning, Yè Tóng had been vomiting repeatedly every time she ate for three days, because she had killed someone a few days ago… She hadn't recovered from the act of killing, and whenever she recalled the moment she pierced someone's chest with a sword and blood gushed out, she felt the urge to vomit.
Over the past few days, her already thin body had grown even weaker, especially her pale, paper-like delicate face, which made people feel extreme pity. This ordeal had truly worn her out terribly.
Lan'er was relatively fine, as she had been preparing magical beasts from a young age and was somewhat accustomed to it, and she had not killed anyone in that battle; she had only assisted Hua Yunyan in dealing with the leader.
This battle resulted in nearly seventy percent of the people sent by the Hua Yun Sect dying. Although the overall impact on the Hua Yun Sect was not significant, the aftercare work kept the sect very busy.
Seventeen full days passed.
During these seventeen days, there were often waves of relatively powerful fluctuations accompanied by the fragrance of medicine drifting throughout the Hua Yun Sect, causing the alchemists to envy and covet them. By observing each fluctuation, one could tell that every pill Ye Yun refined was definitely above fourth rank! What a terrifying alchemy skill! Moreover, the success rate was astonishing!
Although in the first few days, the fluctuations were not frequent—one small fluctuation every two days, one large one every three days—later on, nearly all were spectacular small-scale heavenly anomalies.You have to know, refining a fourth-grade pill takes at least two to three days, but Ye Yun's frequency ...... is just too shabby...... The benefit of this approach for Huayun Sect is that everyone thinks there is a fourth-grade or nearly fifth-grade alchemist inside the sect, and that he is frantically refining pills for the sect. Many small factions go along with the wind, visiting one after another, saying they have long admired your sect and hope to cooperate sincerely...... On the eighteenth day, a sudden fluctuation came from the secret chamber. Although it was ordinary, with a little attention, it was clear this was not the fluctuation of a pill when it was formed! "Breakthrough?" Hua Yunyan was an experienced cultivator and knew this was a sign before a breakthrough. Sure enough, after this wave formed, the suction gradually increased, and eventually, it became completely insane! The powerful suction spread for several kilometers, centered around the secret chamber, the space like ripples on a lake, exquisitely beautiful. But the suction grew stronger and larger, even Hua Yunyan was a bit surprised. Was this the suction power when the Wind Emperor ascended?! It was completely different! This situation caused a stir throughout the city. Wow! The Huayun Sect didn't just have a nearly fifth-rank alchemist; they also had a peak Wind Emperor cultivator hiding a powerhouse! The strength of the Huayun Sect was truly formidable. Many sects that had formed strategic alliances with Huayun Sect secretly rejoiced at having gained such a powerful ally. But if they learned that this nearly fifth-grade alchemist and the peak Wind Emperor were the same person, what would they think? Somewhere in Huayun Sect, the chief steward Hua Yun Dan gazed into the distance toward the secret chamber, muttering to himself, "This boy is exceptionally gifted. He's truly as terrifying as the master said. I think it's time to take action and eliminate him." At this point, a strong murderous intent surged in his eyes. Because he knew that if the mission was not completed, for the master, it would mean either he would die, or Ye Yun would perish! "I advise you to give up on this idea immediately." A calm voice reached his ears directly. "Who?" Hua Yun Dan grew increasingly wary. He never expected that, based on his perception, he hadn't even sensed the other party's presence. And if his identity were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Ten zhang away, a slender figure shrouded in black mist slowly appeared. Behind her, a pair of black wings clearly revealed her identity.Hua Yundan was greatly shocked; no matter what, he never expected that she would actually appear here.
"Saintess." Hua Yundan lowered his head, his voice full of deep reverence.
"Hmm, we can't act just yet. You know the consequences of disobeying orders; clever people often live longer than foolish ones." the Saintess said.
Cold sweat broke out all over Hua Yundan. The tone of her words carried infinite pressure. He hurriedly responded, "Yes," and the figure quickly disappeared.
"Is this the Lord's command?"
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Hua Yundan wondered.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun was undergoing the greatest transformation of his life!
