"Excellent. I'll trouble you with this, then," the brawny man said gratefully.
He knew Ye Yunfei's methods were profound and cunning. With Ye Yunfei here, his physical body was certain to be restored to its most peak-level strength!
"Hu Miao, take the helm of the Flying Boat," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
"Yes, Master," Hu Miao replied as she emerged from the Phantom Tower.
Hu Miao had been staying within the Phantom Tower for some time now. According to her, she was on the verge of a new bloodline breakthrough and thus spent most of her time in secluded cultivation.
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and brought out large quantities of medicinal herbs, pills, and all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, piling them up around him like so many miniature mountain ranges.
Ye Yunfei had produced all the resources he had plundered from the Zhenxuan Sect's headquarters not long ago!
The Zhenxuan Sect possessed three Dao Entry Realm experts; not only was it the most powerful sect in the Doujiao Star Sea, it also held a certain reputation throughout the entire Canghuang Realm. Its accumulated wealth was naturally substantial, and now, most of it had fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands. Whether in quantity or quality, it was quite an impressive haul.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also took out a portion of his own accumulated resources from the past.
"That should just about suffice," Ye Yunfei surveyed the treasures piled around him and nodded.
Next, Ye Yunfei began refining pills.
Chemical Elixirs, Illusory Elixirs...
As Ye Yunfei continuously performed alchemy, various types of pills were bottled into jade vials, which were then cast onto the ground beside him.
One month later, finally, all the medicinal herbs, pills, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures placed around Ye Yunfei had been refined into different types of pills.
"That should do it," Ye Yunfei sorted through the pills he had refined and spoke to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei called the brawny man over to stand before him.
"Now, I will help you reconstruct your physical body!" Ye Yunfei said to the brawny man.
"The pills I refined for you can be divided into three categories.
The first category specifically targets your physical body, elevating its quality, making the flesh of its various parts more resilient, and enhancing your vitality.
The second category specifically targets your tendons, meridians, and collaterals, strengthening and widening your meridians. This is essentially enhancing your martial cultivation talent.
The third category specifically targets your Soul Body, improving its quality and intensifying the strength of your Soul Power.
For now, you must first consume the first category of pills to reconstruct your body. Throughout the entire process, you just need to follow my guidance precisely."
"Understood, Ye Yunfei. I will listen to you completely," the brawny man took a deep breath and nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei began instructing the brawny man on how to step-by-step reconstruct his physical body.
Years ago, this brawny man had accidentally obtained an ancient tome describing how to separate and store different parts of a physical body. That ancient text also touched on some methods of bodily reconstruction.
However, if he had relied solely on his own groping without Ye Yunfei's help, the process certainly would not have been so smooth.
One month later.
"Hahaha… My physical body has finally been successfully reconstructed!" Hearty laughter from the brawny man echoed within the Phantom Tower.
"Ye Yunfei, I thank you! Previously, I was constantly worried whether this body of mine could ever be perfectly reintegrated, but now I can finally rest assured! The body I've reconstructed is identical to the one I had before. Moreover, due to consuming and refining those pills you concocted, my body has become even stronger than before!" The brawny man clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging vitality within his body, his emotions stirred to the extreme.
"Next, you must start consuming and refining the second category of pills to strengthen and widen your meridians," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright," the brawny man sat down cross-legged and, under Ye Yunfei's guidance, began to consume and refine the second category of pills.
Unbeknownst to them, three months passed within the Phantom Tower.
The brawny man finally finished consuming and refining all the pills of the second category.
"My meridians are indeed more resilient and wider than before! This means my martial cultivation talent has surpassed my previous level!" the brawny man exclaimed, overjoyed.
"Good. Hurry up and consume and refine the third category of pills now," Ye Yunfei urged.
Next, the brawny man began consuming and refining the third category of pills.
The third category of pills were specifically for elevating Soul Body quality and Soul Power intensity. They no longer required Ye Yunfei's guidance.
Another month passed within the Phantom Tower.
"Hahaha… My strength has been completely restored!" The brawny man laughed heartily towards the sky.
"So your strength was at the early stage of the Dao Molding Realm," Ye Yunfei observed.
Experts at the early stage of the Dao Molding Realm were among the very top powerhouses within the Canghuang Realm! The entire Canghuang Realm did not have many Dao Molding Realm experts at all.
"Yes. My strength back then was at the early stage of the Dao Molding Realm. Originally, I was on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of the Dao Molding Realm when, as I was in seclusion to impact the realm, Vice Hallmaster Lü Wutian colluded with several elders to suddenly barge into my chamber and launch a surprise attack. They wounded me severely, forcing me to flee in utter disarray," the brawny man recalled the events of the past, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
"Lü Wutian, just you wait. I will come back soon to settle scores with you! Your days of comfort are numbered!" the brawny man said, each word dripping with venom.
"What's Lü Wutian's cultivation level?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Back then, he was at the late stage of the Dao Entry Realm.
However, Lü Wutian's innate talent was incredibly monstrous. What's more, after becoming the hallmaster of the Sacred Temple, he would have access to abundant cultivation resources. He has undoubtedly already broken through to the Dao Molding Realm by now," the brawny man replied.
"Ah, by the way, I am Shangguan Han.
In my heyday, my name, Shangguan Han, rang far and wide across the entire Canghuang Realm. With so many years having passed now, I imagine there are very few within the Canghuang Realm who still remember me," the brawny man sighed with emotion.
This was the first time he had told Ye Yunfei his name.
"Alright, Ye Yunfei. I intend to return to the Sacred Temple right now to seek revenge against Lü Wutian and reclaim what rightfully belongs to me!" Shangguan Han looked at Ye Yunfei and declared.
"Wait. The entire Canghuang Realm is already plunged into unending warfare. The figures of the invaders are everywhere. I believe we should first deal with those invaders. Your matter of vengeance can be delayed.
You have already recovered your strength; you can return to seek revenge whenever you wish. There's no need to rush this moment.
It is more important to prioritize the bigger picture and resolve the crisis facing our Canghuang Realm." Just at that moment, the grey-robed elder suddenly appeared and spoke.
Upon hearing the grey-robed elder's words, Shangguan Han couldn't help but be taken aback.
He knew this grey-robed elder before him was a senior from ancient times who had been left behind. Although his current strength was only at the late stage of the Dao Entry Realm, his seniority was extremely high.
More importantly, Ye Yunfei held this grey-robed elder in great respect!
Therefore, Shangguan Han dared not casually refute him.
"Personal grudges can be postponed. The current situation in the Canghuang Realm is dire. Time is of the essence," the grey-robed elder stated again.
"The Elder's words are sensible. How about this: we first deal with those invaders.
When the time is opportune, we will all accompany you back to the Sacred Temple to settle scores with Lü Wutian.
Don't worry. At that time, I, Da Bing, and the Elder will all accompany you. Moreover, I have a large contingent of subordinates. We will certainly be able to help you retake your position as the lord of the Sacred Temple," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then looked at Shangguan Han and said.
"Very well! Elder, I will listen to you. We shall first deal with those invaders! After we have eradicated the invaders and peace is restored to the Canghuang Realm, then I will return to the Sacred Temple to settle accounts with Lü Wutian!" After contemplating for a short while, Shangguan Han gave a heavy, decisive nod.
