White Light gave a low roar and said scornfully, "You're indeed a freak!"
Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Go help me take a look. How's the quality of the medicinal pills? My realm breakthrough this time is all on these toys."
White Light scurried over to take a look. Inside the Square Cauldron was full of medicinal pills, probably hundreds!
He observed those medicinal pills closely and was filled with astoundment in his heart.
"How is it?" Ye Yuan asked impatiently.
"You're indeed a freak. Refining pills like this, and it still resulted to such high quality! The vast majority inside is all high-grade medicinal pills. There is still quite a fair portion which is superior-grade. Only a very tiny portion is middle-grade!"
"Hah! Not even one transcendent-grade! Fail!" Ye Yuan said with a sigh.
"Transcendent-grade . . . These are Tier 3 medicinal pills!" White Light was thoroughly defeated.
Actually, the refinement this time, Ye Yuan's greatest drawback was still essence energy.
A refinement like this was a tremendous test of the alchemist's essence energy. Without late-stage Crystal Formation Realm essence energy, it was very hard to sustain.
Only Ye Yuan's way of splitting one portion of essence energy into two halves to use could support his refinement to succeed. If there were even a trace of waste, it would also not be possible to have the present results.
"Alright. I'll recover my strength first. You play by yourself. Wait until I break through to late-stage Crystal Formation Realm, then I'll help you refine Demon Crystal Pills," Ye Yuan said feebly.
White Light was overjoyed upon hearing it and said, "Haha! It's indeed Big Brother who dotes on me! Little Brother, I, will definitely break through to Tier 4 quickly. At that time, I'll protect Big Brother!"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "It will be pretty good if you don't drag me down!"
While he said that verbally, Ye Yuan knew that White Light's strength could not be underestimated.
Previously, when facing off against Zhao Chenggan, White Light actually wounded the Sea Transformation Realm Zhao Chenggan with Tier 2 strength. His might could be seen at a glance.
If White Light had Tier 4 strength, dealing with Zhao Chenggan should be a cinch!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that White Light would explode with extraordinary strength under certain special conditions. His speed would be unbelievably quick!
Regarding that final strike against Zhao Chenggan, even he did not see clearly what happened!
Also, when White Light's mother was on her deathbed, White Light dealing with the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python was like so too.
Looking at this, White Light's strength indeed could not be underestimated.
. . . . . .
The second day. Ye Yuan already recovered to his optimal condition and prepared to break through!
He casually grabbed a bunch of Jade Spirit Pills and directly stuffed them into his mouth!
At the same time, Ye Yuan started to revolve the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Their medicinal properties were rapidly refined, flowing into the dantian!
The small crystal in Ye Yuan's dantian continuously expanded!
After a day, Ye Yuan directly broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm!
Another three days passed, Ye Yuan's momentum met no resistance the entire way, directly smashing the barrier between early-stage Crystal Formation Realm and middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm, breaking through to Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm!
. . . . . .
Time flowed like water. In a twinkle, a month had passed.
On this day, the essence energy inside another secret room surged and was abnormally violent!
"Haha, Yuan Fei has divine beast bloodline when all is said and done. His talent is actually not poor. It's just that the Lower Realm's resources and environment made it very hard for him to m.a.t.u.r.e," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
"Tch. Isn't it just breaking through to a Tier 4? What's the big deal? As long as I have Big Brother providing Demon Crystal Pills, I can surely break through to Tier 4 within half a year!" White Light said disdainfully.
Ye Yuan was speechless. This fellow said it as if he owed him.
"I say, don't you feel ashamed? Yuan Fei's improvement speed is indeed inferior to yours, but he didn't spend much time to break through from middle-stage Tier 3 to peak Tier 3 either! If you didn't have the support of medicinal pills, you might not even be faster than him!" Ye Yuan said huffily.
"Cough, cough. This tiger is a descendant of the Four Great Divine Beasts. How can a stone ape with a dilute bloodline be compared with me? If he has the capabilities, you make him not eat medicinal pills and compare cultivation speed with me!"
". . . . . ."
"Heh heh, actually, talking about improvement speed, we can't catch up to Big Brother even if we whipped our horses! In a month, you already broke through four realms consecutively, reaching the peak Sixth Level Crystal Formation Realm!"
Although White Light saying these words looked a little like l.i.c.k.i.n.g his boots, he was really very astonished in his heart.
Ye Yuan's bloodline did not have any special aspects; his body was not even the most ordinary spirit physique. But Ye Yuan's breakthrough speed was not any bit slower than him, a divine beast progeny.
This was the most freakish!
While they were talking, the dulation of essence energy at the other secret room already calmed down. Yuan Fei walked out of the secret room.
The aura of Yuan Fei who broke through to Tier 4 was already completely different!
It was only to see him conceal his splendor inwards with not a trace of essence energy escaping his body. One clearly could not sense his essence energy, but it gave people an extremely powerful feeling!
This was still him just after breaking through a realm and not able to release and withdraw it as he pleased. Wait until he finished consolidating his realm, that sort of soul-stirring threatening force would not emanate out, and he would look no different from ordinary demonic beasts.
Yuan Fei was similarly a divine beast descendant. After breaking through to Tier 4, it was equivalent to stepping into the middle of the Three Realms. His divine beast bloodline would also trigger; his combat strength became exceedingly formidable.
The stone ape clan was originally extremely skillful at fighting. Their combat strength even far surpassed same-rank demonic beasts!
It was just that Yuan Fei's divine beast bloodline was not activated in the past and was unable to unleash shocking combat strength.
"Haha! Old Yuan, how's the feeling of breaking through to Tier 4? Looking at your appearance, it's like you're going to totally destroy the room!" White Light said with a laugh.
He and Yuan Fei were old friends already too. Seeing Yuan Fei broke through, he was naturally very happy as well.
But Yuan Fei gave a silly smile and said, "Just broke through. Essence energy is still unable to be controlled freely. I've incurred Young Master's ridicule. But the feeling of breaking through to Tier 4 is truly excellent! I feel like my entire body is filled with strength and that I can punch through a mountain in one fist!"
Evidently, breaking through to Tier 4 made Yuan Fei very excited.
After all, this was something he simply could not imagine before meeting Ye Yuan!
Chapter 407 - It's Because I'm Scared That Foundation Will Be Unstable
"Haha, looks like your divine beast bloodline awakened!" Ye Yuan saw through Yuan Fei's transformation and said with a laugh.
"Young Master has good eyes! After breaking through to Tier 4, I've awakened another part of inherited memories. Furthermore, I feel an extremely powerful bloodline strength hidden inside my body!" Yuan Fei said with joy.
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed worthy of being the Equals Heaven Sage Ape's progeny. As long as you can draw out this bloodline strength, you'll surely be an extremely formidabl
e existence in the future!"
After a moment, Yuan Fei calmed down from basking in his joy and suddenly realized something not quite right.
"En?" Yuan Fei gradually went from pleasantly surprised to astonishment.
"Haha, Old Yuan's reaction is really slow, only noticing now that something was off! You only broke through one level in a month's time. Big Brother is going to break through the fifth level very soon and advance to the late-stage Crystal Formation Realm!" White Light said in derision.
Yuan Fei was filled with shock. Breaking through five levels in a month's time?
Ye Yuan was at the Crystal Formation Realm now, not the Essence Qi Realm or Spirit Condensation Realm back then!
Wasn't such a breakthrough speed overly terrifying?
Actually, logically speaking, the difficulty of this level that Yuan Fei broke through was far more challenging compared to Ye Yuan's five levels added up.
But the problem was that the time used was too short!
To some ordinary martial artists, a month's time was just barely enough for them to use to consolidate their realm.
Even for those genius martial artists, wanting to break through a level in a month, that was something impossible!
But Ye Yuan broke through five levels in succession within a month?
"Alright. It's late. Since Yuan Fei already broke through, you guys help to guard me. I'll break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm right now!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Yuan Fei felt indescribable shock in his heart. At the rate of this speed, Ye Yuan catching up to him was just something soon!
Although Yuan Fei had long known that Ye Yuan's cultivation had virtually no bottlenecks, but to breakthrough five realms in a month, such a speed was too unbelievable.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan swallowed large quantities of Jade Spirit Pills again and started to break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm in full force!
Even if Ye Yuan did not comprehend so many realms in this lifetime, directly breaking through five realms was not a big deal.
And his current realm comprehension already greatly exceeded the current standards.
It was just that since he reincarnated, he had practically been on the run constantly all along. There had been completely no chance to rest properly and cultivate essence energy, resulting in his realm being too low.
Now, him breaking through five realms was actually just water flowing unhindered when the conditions were right.
When the medicinal pills entered the abdomen, an essence energy tempest gradually formed, plunging the entire hidden room into a violent storm!
Yuan Fei was incomparably shocked when he saw this scene. "Did Young Master break through realms like this during this one month?"
"Of course! Big Brother breaking through realms has this tiger grandpa's, my, style; both of us eating medicinal pills like candy! Haha!" White Light said with a loud laugh.
Thinking about these two freaks, Yuan Fei was speechless for a long time.
The Stone-ape clan indeed had powerful physiques. But even he did not dare to consume medicinal pills like this. He would be stuffed to death!
The joy from previously breaking through to Tier 4 was already struck down at this time and badly mangled.
He was deeply aware that before long, he would be thoroughly surpassed by these two freaks!
Moreover, Yuan Fei knew that even if he broke through to Tier 4 now and awakened divine beast bloodline strength, in a genuine life and death battle, he might not be Ye Yuan's match either.
After half a day, the essence energy inside the hidden room returned to serenity. Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!
Currently, the aura from Ye Yuan's body was much stronger compared to while being at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm!
"Hehe, how do you feel right now, Big Brother?" White Light asked with a flattering face.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "If I meet Zhao Chenggan again, even if I can't kill him, giving him a violent thrashing should still be achievable!"
White Light shook his head strongly and said unhappily, "Big Brother, you broke through five realms. Could it be that you still can't take care of that fellow?"
"Hur hur, I know that you're pissed with him. But his strength is indeed very mighty! To be able to comprehend true intent at his age, this is not what ordinary people can accomplish. Even if I already broke through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm now, I'm still a major realm lower than him. To be able to defeat him is already pretty good," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
"Humph, humph! Anyway, I'm just very upset! I don't care; Big Brother, you quickly refine candy for me. I want to break through to Tier 4 as soon as possible, then viciously trample that fellow to death and let him know that this tiger grandpa isn't nice to provoke!" White Light said irately.
"Haha, there are plenty of chances! My soul force has already reached Alchemy Grandmaster Perfection Realm now. Refining Demon Crystal Pill is but lifting a finger. I'll find a time to refine medicinal pills for you! But I've already been in seclusion for a month. Star Abyss's side should have some news too. We have to quickly exit seclusion. After all, we entered the Fierce Gale World in order to rescue Senior Apprentice Brother Yuntian and the rest," Ye Yuan said,
Although White Light was playful, he still knew how to prioritize what was important and what was less urgent. He had already followed Ye Yuan for a very long time and knew Ye Yuan's personality. So he stopped talking.
Ye Yuan put Yuan Fei away in the spatial spirit artifact and exited the hidden room with White Light, but he saw that Shi Haoran was already waiting outside.
When Shi Haoran saw Ye Yuan walk out, he came forward to greet with a smile.
But when he saw Ye Yuan, his smile immediately froze on his face.
"Little Junior Brother, you . . . you . . . Seventh Level! My god!" An Alchemy King expert like Shi Haoran was also somewhat incoherent in speech currently.
"Haha, Little Brother was lucky to break through several realms. Elder Senior Brother doesn't need to be so shocked," Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.
He had long known that exiting seclusion would incur his seniors' shock. But he could not be bothered with so much either.
He could not not breakthrough in order not to let Shi Haoran and the rest get shocked, right?
Furthermore, in the Fierce Gale World, it was riddled with dangers everywhere. If Ye Yuan still did not raise his realm, he would not even have the capital to protect himself.
"Lucky . . . How . . . How can I not be shocked?! Little Junior Brother, I thought that you were in retreat to refine pills this one month. To think that you actually broke through five realms consecutively in one breath!" Shi Haoran said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, refining pills is naturally for breaking through too," Ye Yuan said with a chortle.
Shi Haoran's expression because peculiar again. He said in surprise, "Those medicinal herbs, you can't have . . . you can't have . . ."
Seeing Ye Yuan nod his head with a smile, Shi Haoran nearly bit his own tongue off.
You've got to be kidding?
One month's time. Refining so many medicinal herbs into medicinal pills and even breaking through five realms? Was this making a joke?
Facing Shi Haoran, Ye Yuan knew that he could not conceal it, so he might as well not hide it from him.
"Little Junior Brother, you're really a freak!" Shi Haoran heaved a long sigh and said, "I previously warned you not to be in a rush to break through realms, but you just wouldn't listen. You breaking through like this will affect your future cultivation!"
Although breaking through five realms in succession was very monstrous, but it would inevitably cause the foundation to be unstable. This point, Shi Haoran was very clear.
Honestly speaking, when he saw Ye Yuan standing here perfectly well, he already felt that it was a miracle.
But Ye Yuan sm
iled and said, "Eldest Senior Brother don't need to worry. I won't treat my own future as a joke. It was because I was scared that my foundation would be unstable that I only just broke through five realms."
". . . . . ." Shi Haoran was speechless.
Chapter 408 - Xiao Ruyan Met with a Mishap!
Shi Haoran really did not know how he should express his emotions.
What was called scared that foundation would be unstable? What was called only broke through five realms?
The cultivation of essence energy was a grinding process. Even more talented martial artists would not dare to break through realms like this!
Shi Haoran decided not to argue with Ye Yuan anymore. He was going to report this matter to Master and let Master come and urge Little Junior Brother.
"Fine then, you win!" Shi Haoran was speechless.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is there some matter for Eldest Senior Brother to wait here especially for me?"
Shi Haoran nodded and said, "Master instructed a few days ago to ask you to go find him immediately after exiting seclusion, saying that there's something important to discuss with you. I estimated that you should exit seclusion right about today, so I came here to wait for you."
Ye Yuan's heart stirred. Could it be that there were clues about the matter regarding his seniors?
"Thank you very much, Eldest Senior Brother. I'll go see Master right away." Ye Yuan clasped his hand and gave thanks.
"Wait a minute!" Shi Haoran suddenly said.
"Does Eldest Senior Brother still have anything?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.
"Before meeting master, there's somebody that you probably have to meet."
"En? Who?"
Ye Yuan was somewhat confused. He did not seem to know many people in the capital. Why would there be people coming to find him?
"You'll know when you go and see."
. . . . . .
When Ye Yuan saw the arrival, he could not help having a foreboding feeling.
"Young Master Ji! I beg you to save Second Miss!" Manager Tong grabbed Ye Yuan's arm and directly kneeled down, tears flowing down his old face.
