“Mei Zhen, this journey is very perilous. Your number one priority is to bring them back wholly intact, understood?” Skymaple exhorted.
The elder leading the team was called Mei Zhen, a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. He was a prudent person. Luo Qingfeng chose him because he liked this point.
Mei Zhen said respectfully, “Don’t worry, Grand Elder, Mei Zhen definitely won’t fail this assignment! These few people are my Tranquil Cloud Sect’s future. Even if I have to risk this old life, I’ll also bring them back safely.”
Honestly speaking, Mei Zhen himself did not really have much confidence in retreating unscathed. But at this moment, he could only say so.
Skymaple nodded, and it was considered to have tacitly acknowledged Mei Zhen’s promise.
He also knew that there would most likely be some losses on this trip. But what needed to be faced had to be faced eventually.
While this trip was dangerous, it might be Mei Zhen’s and the team’s lucky chance!
For geniuses who wished to grow up and become a genuine powerhouse, it was impossible to not face death. This point, Skymaple was crystal clear.
Skymaple exhorted Mei Zhen again, and then he went in front of Ye Yuan.
“Ye Yuan, I won’t say anything unnecessary. I wish you a safe return! My Tranquil Cloud Sect’s rise and fall all lie on you alone!” Skymaple said.
If Skymaple said these words in the past, everyone would surely scoff at it. But now, nobody objected. This was an indisputable truth!
Ye Yuan’s talent was already exaggerated to the extent that it was unimaginable. His significance to the sect was naturally different too.
Ye Yuan gave a bow and said respectfully, “Rest assured, Grand Elder, it’s just exploring a mystic realm. Ye Yuan definitely will not return empty handed!”

Watching the flying vessel disappear into the horizon, Nanfeng Zhirou felt a rare sense of loss.
“Sigh, stop looking. He is destined to be a person from a different world from us.” Nanfeng Ruoqing behind her sighed faintly.
Nanfeng Zhirou turned around, her beautiful eyes already holding tears.
Not knowing why, when she heard Nanfeng Ruoqing’s words, her tears flowed down against her will.
“Aunt, I . . . I . . .” Nanfeng Zhirou choked on her words.
Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou like this, Nanfeng Ruoqing also felt sour in her heart.
Her niece was so, but how was she not too?
It was just that her feelings were much more reserved compared to Nanfeng Zhirou and would not be as emotional as Nanfeng Zhirou.
Who knew when it started, but Ye Yuan’s figure would surface in Nanfeng Ruoqing’s mind ceaselessly.
But with the passing of time, Nanfeng Ruoqing suddenly became aware that there was already an impassable gulf between Ye Yuan and her!
He was no longer that little rookie who nearly lost his life at Nanfeng Zhirou’s sword. He had already grown into a towering tree. Even the formidable Tian Yu suffered defeat at his hands.
Now, the two of them aunt and niece were almost unable to see even Ye Yuan’s back view anymore!
Nanfeng Zhirou leaned on her aunt’s shoulder and cried while Nanfeng Ruoqing gently patted her back, consoling her as she said, “I know, I know.”
“Sniff, sniff, then . . . then what about aunty?” Nanfeng Zhirou sniffled.
Nanfeng Ruoqing froze. Her beautiful body let her down and started trembling.
Nanfeng Zhirou pushed off her hug and said with tears running down her face, “I know that aunty likes him too. Do . . . Do we really have no chance at all?”
Nanfeng Ruoqing sighed and shook her head, saying, “Bury this feeling in your heart and perhaps we can still maintain the relationship of friends. Otherwise, I’m afraid that . . . it will scare him off.”
Nanfeng Zhirou said stubbornly, “I . . . I’m unresigned!”
Nanfeng Ruoqing sighed lightly and did not say anything else.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan and and the team rode the flying vessel, traveling 100 thousand miles a day. But the Tranquil Cloud Sect was too far away from the Heavenly Sky Sect. They needed ten days or so before they could reach.
On the flying vessel, Ye Yuan meditated every day to cultivate and consolidate his realm. At this moment, he was already not far from the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
Towards such a cultivation speed, the group of seniors could only sigh with admiration.
“Elder Mei, ahead is the Cloud Dream Mountain Range. Let’s go down,” Mo Yuntian said.
Mei Zhen nodded, and the group of eight disembarked the flying vessel.
The coordinates Li Zhangyu left behind for the Tranquil Cloud Sect was this Cloud Dream Mountain Range, which was also the entrance to that unknown mystic realm.
Riding the flying vessel would easily startle the demonic beasts in the mountains. Hence, the Tranquil Cloud Sect party chose to disembark the flying vessel in advance and walk on foot.
Up ahead, vast expanses of mountain ranges towered into the clouds. It looked very lofty and magnificent.
“This Cloud Dream Mountain Range is a famous danger-zone within the Heavenly Sky Sect’s boundaries. Not only are there demonic beasts running wild inside, but there are also even all kinds of poisonous miasma in the mountains. Even a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist who recklessly goes deep inside might not return alive,” Mei Zhen said.
“We’ve already entered the mountain range. Everyone, consume this detoxification pill first to prevent succumbing to the toxin of this poisonous miasma,” Mo Yuntian said to everyone.
They were currently not deep into the mountains at the moment. This miasma did not pose much threat to them, but Mo Yuntian felt that it was better to be safe.
After all, this was other people’s territory. As strangers in a strange land, it was best to not fail miserably here.
“Wait a minute!” Just as they were about to swallow the pill, Ye Yuan opened his mouth to stop them.
“What is it, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?” Mo Yuntian asked curiously.
Ye Yuan fished out a bottle of pills and passed it to Mo Yuntian, saying, “Use my medicinal pills.”
“This . . .” Mo Yuntian involuntarily hesitated.
What they were eating were Tier 3 Detoxification Pills, but Ye Yuan was at most an Alchemy Master. Could the medicinal pills that he refined be better than those refined by the Pill Hall elders?
But Mo Yuntian knew that Ye Yuan would not do this kind of lame thing from his personality. He could not help hesitating.
“Yuntian, open it up and take a look,” at this time, Mei Zhen spoke.
Mo Yuntian did as told and opened the medicinal bottle. Medicinal fragrance reached their noses.
“These . . . These are Tier 3 Detoxification Pills? Where did you get this from, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?” Mo Yuntian could not help being astonished when he saw the pills in the medicinal bottle.
Martial artists were no strangers to medicinal pills. This bottle of pills given by Ye Yuan were clearly Tier 3 Detoxification Pills as well but was completely different from the ones that they brought.
Although they had not eaten it yet, Mo Yuntian could feel just from the medicinal fragrance that these detoxification pills were much better than those refined by the elders.
Ye Yuan was only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. Where did his medicinal pills come from?
Mo Yuntian and these disciple were unaware, but as an elder, Mei Zhen knew that Ye Yuan had the identity of nominal elder in the Pill Hall. That was why he made Mo Yuntian open it up to see.
Except, when he saw these Tier 3 Detoxification Pills, Mei Zhen was speechlessly shocked!
Could these medicinal pills be refined by Ye Yuan himself?
Mei Zhen was very clear that it was impossible for the elders in the Pill Hall to refine such detoxifica
tion pills even if Grand Elder Skymaple took up the matter personally!
Because the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not have the pill formula for this kind of detoxification pills!
Mei Zhen was not surprised that Ye Yuan knew this sort of new pill formula. But if Ye Yuan refined Tier 3 medicinal pills with Alchemy Master status, that would be too shocking!
Mei Zhen had lived to ripe old age and had seen many Spirit Condensation Realms crossing ranks to battle with Crystal Formation Realms, but had never seen Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists being able to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills!
This was the first time Mei Zhen felt awe and reverence towards a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!
This Ye Yuan was truly too shocking!
Ye Yuan originally did not wish to draw too much attention either, but he faintly felt that this Cloud Dream Mountain Range did not seem very normal.
For the sake of fellow members’ safety, he had better take out these detoxification pills.
Not only could his detoxification pills resolve poison within the body, but it could also even resolve the poison miasma which affected the divine soul at the same time.
Ye Yuan was the ancestor of using poison. With a sweeping glance, he knew that the poison miasma in the deep regions of this Cloud Dream Mountain Range most likely had an effect on the divine soul. That was why he took out his own detoxification pills.
This was how the Cloud Dream Mountain Range got its name.
Once a martial artist’s divine soul got infected by the poison miasma, they would probably fall into an illusion or insanity. If they were not treated in time, they would ultimately be tormented by this poison miasma till death.
Ye Yuan just smiled and said to Mo Yuntian, “Don’t ask anymore, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Will Junior harm you?”
Mo Yuntian felt awkward and replied with a smile, “Where did that come from, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye? I was just overly surprised. Cough, cough . . . Juniors, let’s all consume Junior Apprentice Brother Ye’s detoxification pill. His medicinal pills . . . seem to be much better than the ones we brought!”
Mo Yuntian distributed the medicinal pills to the others and also swallowed one himself.
Mo Yuntian only noticed that Ye Yuan did not eat any after consuming the medicinal pill. He could not help asking, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, why aren’t you eating?”
Ye Yuan grinned and said, “I don’t need to. This miasma is ineffective against me.”
Mo Yuntian was stupefied. Indeed, he discovered that there was really some empty space around Ye Yuan. This miasma was actually unable to approach Ye Yuan!
This . . . was too wonderous!
Chapter 290

“No way! Ye Yuan, why can’t this poisonous miasma touch you?” Mo Yuntian exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “I have a magic treasure on me that can ward off this poisonous miasma.”
Mo Yuntian had a look of realization. “That explains it!”
Ye Yuan threw out a white lie. He did not have any magic treasure on him at all.
Or should he say, his magic treasure was his divine soul!
Ye Yuan once used his body to test poison countless times in his previous life and then resolve it himself. Regardless of whether it was his body or divine soul, there was incredible immunity against toxicity. One could say that he had reached the level of invulnerable to a hundred poisons.
This poisonous miasma was just some low-level existence to Ye Yuan. It naturally could not harm him.
Of course, if it were a Tier 9 poisonous miasma, even if Ye Yuan recovered to his peak state, he would not be able to withstand it.
The horrors of a Tier 9 toxic miasma was something that ordinary people could not understand.
“Alright, everyone already ate the pills. Let’s set off,” Mei Zhen said.
The group forcefully pressed down the astonishment in their hearts and started heading towards the depths of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, walking towards the coordinates given by Heavenly Sky Sect.
The strength of this team was incredibly powerful. Normal low-tier demonic beasts were simply unable to come close.
The group walked for some time without any obstacles but heard some human bustling indistinctly ahead.
Walking closer to take a look, it turned out to be a group of burly men surrounding two girls in the center like they were demanding something.
The two ladies, one was wearing a light-yellow tunic, and the other was wearing white-colored fitting robes. Their looks were very ordinary.
Especially the female wearing a light-yellow tunic. She even had an ugly birthmark on her face, making people feel like puking when they see it. It was hideous.
Furthermore, she had a pale, sickly look, and her face was waxen like she had some peculiar illness.
But the two people’s realms were not low. They were around the Second or Third Level Crystal Formation Realm.
“Hey, ugly girl. Why haven’t you surrendered the Crow Orchid Ganoderma? If you continue to not know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for not being polite!”
That girl in white fitting robes said icily, “We discovered this Crow Orchid Ganoderma first. Why should we give you?”
“Why should you? Because we’re stronger than you! This Crow Orchid Ganoderma is a Tier 4 spirit medicine. Letting the two of you uglies enjoy it is too much of a waste of God’s gift. Haha . . .”
His laughter stopped abruptly because they discovered that another group of people showed up.
“Elder Mei, it’s people from the High Clarity Sect,” Mo Yuntian recognized the identities of these people very quickly and said to Mei Zhen.
Mei Zhen nodded. It was clear that he recognized these people too.
“The High Clarity Sect is really declining as time passes. As a member of the Eight Great Sects, they’re actually doing something dirty like committing highway robbery!” Mei Zhen said with contempt.
“What should we do, Elder Mei?” Mo Yuntian asked worriedly.
High Clarity Sect was ranked four among the Eight Great Sects; much stronger compared to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
There were roughly ten people in this group. The number of people was even slightly more than Tranquil Cloud Sect’s side. They were clearly going to participate in this unknown mystic realm exploration too.
Both parties obviously did not imagine that they would actually bump into each other here beforehand. Furthermore, it was under such awkward circumstances.
More than 10 guys bullying two frail girls. It was evidently not something honorable.
Mei Zhen frowned slightly. He was obviously considering how to deal with this matter too.
“So, it’s friends from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. I believe that you’re going to the unknown mystic realm too, right? These two ladies stole my High Clarity Sect’s item. I hope that none of you will intervene in this matter. Or else . . .” a Sea Transformation Realm expert from the High Clarity Sect said.
These people were obviously the same as Mei Zhen; people leading the High Clarity Sect team.
It was just that the High Clarity Sect’s team had two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists inside. This allowed their team’s strength to be much stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s.
The other party had evidently seen the contrast in strength between both parties. Hence, they were fearless. There were even some hints of threatening when talking.
“Pooh! This Crow Orchid Ganoderma was clearly obtained by us first. When did it become your High Clarity Sect’s item? Do you still want face or not?” The girl in fitting robes said scornfully.
The ugly girl in yellow clothes appeared very calm instead and was not as agitated as the girl in white fitting robes. She pulled her sleeves and said, “Forget it, Yan-er.”
“Miss, I’m unwilling to give in!” Yan-er said unhappily.
The ugly girl smiled but did n
ot say anymore. Yan-er kept her mouth shut sensibly.
It looks like this ugly girl was even the master of that Yan-er.
“Haha, this ugly girl knows what’s good and bad. How is it, Tranquil Cloud Sect’s friends, are you going to sow a grudge against us?” the person from the High Clarity Sect said arrogantly.
Mei Zhen let out a sigh and said to the people behind him, “Let’s go!”
Finished talking, he brought the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s group and skirted around this area and continued walking towards the depths of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect’s people all had bitterness on their faces. It was clear that they were very unwilling.
People who practiced the sword tend to be righteous. Most of these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples practiced the sword. Encountering such an incident, they naturally wanted to draw their sword to help out.
This group of people from the High Clarity Sect was really too shameless. To actually bully two weak girls and even maligned them.
But with the present situation, even if the Tranquil Cloud Sect and the other party fought it out to the death, it would be hard to win in the end. After all, the other party had two Sea Transformation Realm experts.
Ye Yuan’s expression flickered but did not say anything. He followed the main group step by step and left.
“Tch! Indeed jackals from the same lair! There’s not a single good person from the sects! Turning around and leaving when they see this kind of situation, what difference is there from the culprits?”
Yan-er’s cold laughter came from behind. Mei Zhen’s figure involuntary froze.
After pausing for a split second, he strode out in large steps. Out of sight, and out of mind.
Luo Qingfeng’s reminder sounded beside his ear. Mei Zhen did not wish to ruin the lives of the sect’s elites in vain just because of a momentary impulse.
The ones he brought out this time were all the elite forces of the sect, especially Ye Yuan. If he lost his life because of two barely acquainted girls, how was he going to give an account to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng when he returned?
