“Elder Du, what brings you to Yuanyue City?”
Ye Yunfei wasted no time in beating around the bush, getting straight to the point.
“I’ll speak plainly. It was Elder Ren’s idea.
He saw how hastily you returned and guessed that something must have happened to the Ye Family.
So, he had me bring a team of Tianyuan Sect members to Yuanyue City to help your family face the enemy.”
“I see.”
A look of understanding dawned on Ye Yunfei’s face.
It seemed this move by the reclusive elder was an attempt to earn his goodwill.
Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but smile wryly.
However, his favorable opinion of Elder Ren did indeed increase quite a bit.
“Then I must thank Elder Ren and you, Elder Du.”
Ye Yunfei smiled.
“Elder Du, your Tianyuan Sect specially sent people to help our Ye Family face the enemy?!”
In the hall, Ye Tianpeng and several Ye Family elders were both shocked and overjoyed by Elder Du’s words.
What virtue or merit did the Ye Family possess that one of the Empire’s Four Great Sects would actually dispatch people specially to aid them?
For the Ye Family, this was simply an immense honor!
Ye Tianpeng and the elders looked towards Ye Yunfei, their gazes filled with pride, but also tinged with confusion.
They knew it was definitely because of Ye Yunfei.
Yet, they couldn’t understand how Ye Yunfei, who had joined the Tianyuan Sect for less than a month, could have garnered such high regard from the sect’s upper echelons.
Facing Ye Tianpeng’s questioning look, Elder Du simply gave a faint smile without explanation.
If Ye Tianpeng and these elders knew that Ye Yunfei had nearly become an elder of the Tianyuan Sect, a position equal to the reclusive elders and even higher than the Sect Master, they would likely be utterly dumbfounded.
“Ye Yunfei, the Imperial City Li Family will certainly not let this matter rest.
You must be prepared.”
Elder Du looked at Ye Yunfei and spoke.
He had already learned the whole sequence of events from Ye Tianpeng’s mouth.
“Heh… Now, even if their Li Family wants to let it rest, I won’t agree.
There’s no need for the Li Family to continue existing.”
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh, a fierce glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Ye Yunfei.
The Li Family is one of the major families in the Imperial City, with significant strength.
It’s said they have Profound Realm experts protecting them.
Moreover, in recent years, the Li Family has grown very close to the Grand Prince, secretly recruiting manpower and assembling a large group of experts for him on his behalf.
Destroying the Li Family will likely not be easy.
The Four Great Sects have always adhered to a principle of staying clear of matters involving the Imperial Royal Family.
So, Ye Yunfei, if you want to wipe out the Li Family, you’ll have to rely solely on your own strength; the Tianyuan Sect won’t be able to help you.”
Elder Du spoke with a grave expression.
“Don’t worry, Elder Du. I know what I’m doing.
It’s just the Li Family.
In my eyes, it’s not even worth mentioning.
Even if they were several times stronger, I could still wipe them out.”
Ye Yunfei sneered coldly, showing a look of disdain.
So what if the Li Family had Profound Realm experts protecting them?
Hu Miao’s strength was at the Late Stage Profound Realm.
Furthermore, Hu Miao belonged to an ancient remnant beast, a descendant of the Primordial Heaven Fox Tribe. Her true combat prowess far surpassed that of humans.
If a fight broke out, she could probably hold her own even against a human martial artist at the early Saint Realm!
Besides, Ye Yunfei was definitely going to personally refine many more Spirit Pills to help Hu Miao restore her demonic power’s origin. By then, her strength would surely steadily increase.
What difficulty would there be in wiping out a single Li Family?
Moreover, Ye Yunfei was confident his own strength would grow rapidly as well.
He feared that by then, he alone would be enough to annihilate the Li Family.
However, these were his own secrets; he couldn’t explain them to Elder Du.
“Ye Yunfei, as a Tianyuan Sect elder who has lived over half my lifetime, I’ve seen many people.
Yet, from start to finish, I cannot see through you.
Still, whatever you do, be careful in everything.”
After hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, Elder Du was stunned for a long moment before sighing lightly.
“You are now the Tianyuan Sect’s treasure.
If something happens to you, Elder Ren will probably feel like hanging himself.
Alright, Ye Yunfei. I will be staying in Yuanyue City for the next few days to protect your Ye Family.
This was Elder Ren’s order.
Go ahead and attend to whatever you need to do.”
“Understood.
Thank you for your trouble, Elder Du.”
Ye Yunfei nodded. He instructed Ye Tianpeng to properly arrange accommodations for Elder Du and the Tianyuan Sect disciples, then returned to his own room and began focusing entirely on alchemy.
Inside his room, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged. He took out a Pill Cauldron and a large quantity of spirit herbs from his spatial ring, spreading them around him.
Pile upon pile of spirit herbs, like small hills, almost submerged him.
“When I get the chance, I need to get a better Pill Cauldron.
This one is absolute trash.
It seriously affects my pill refining speed and the quality of the final pills.
Still, I’ll have to make do for now.”
Ye Yunfei shook his head and sighed.
Then, he began refining pills like a madman.
This time, the pills Ye Yunfei refined were all healing-type Spirit Pills!
As a Pill Sage, Ye Yunfei had countless pill formulas stored in his mind.
And any formula worthy of being specially collected by him was naturally no ordinary item.
Inside the room, fierce pill flames burned inside the cauldron.
Ye Yunfei continuously fed all sorts of spirit herbs into it.
Every so often, a batch of pills was refined.
In a single hour, he produced at least seven or eight batches!
If other alchemists saw Ye Yunfei’s pill-refining speed, they would probably be scared to death on the spot.
One day later, Ye Yunfei finally finished refining all the spirit herbs.
In total, he produced several hundred Spirit Pills.
Most of them were Fourth-Grade Spirit Pills.
A small portion were Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills!
With his current level of pill refinement, Ye Yunfei was already capable of refining Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills.
However, the spirit herbs required for Fifth-Grade pills were extremely rare. At Lingzhen Pavilion, he had only managed to find a small quantity suitable for refining them.
Thus, he could only refine a limited number.
After finishing his alchemy, Ye Yunfei first went to Xiao Yue’s room.
Xiao Yue lived in his small courtyard, in the room next to his.
“Young Master Ye Yunfei.”
As soon as Ye Yunfei entered Xiao Yue’s room, a servant girl came forward to greet him.
This girl was called Hongmei. She was on good terms with Xiao Yue, so Ye Yunfei had specifically assigned her to care for Xiao Yue.
“Young Master, Xiao Yue… she still hasn’t woken up.”
Hongmei reported.
Inside the room, Xiao Yue lay on the bed, her delicate face looking extremely pale.
Yet, even in her unconscious state, her lovely and delicate features remained undeniable.
“It’s alright.
I will wake Xiao Yue up now.”
Ye Yunfei took out a Fifth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill and gently placed it into Xiao Yue’s small, smooth, cherry-like mouth.
Immediately, a powerful medicinal effect spread through Xiao Yue’s body.
An astonishing surge of vitality began to radiate from her slender, delicate frame.
This was no joke—it was a Fifth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill!
In the entire Great Qin Empire, probably even the Imperial Royal Family and the Four Great Sects couldn’t produce a single one!
Naturally, its healing efficacy was exceptionally remarkable.
Ye Yunfei believed that after taking this Fifth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill, no matter how severe Xiao Yue’s injuries, they would swiftly heal completely!
Sure enough.
Merely a few breaths later.
Xiao Yue’s delicate body suddenly trembled lightly. She let out a soft murmur and gradually began to awaken.
