"Ye Yunfei, shall we return to the Sacred Temple now?" Shangguan Han approached and said.
"Very well." Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment, then nodded.
He had promised to heal the two elder ancestors of the Sacred Temple, so he needed to make another trip there.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took out the green flying boat. Everyone boarded it, and they sped away into the distance in an instant.
Standing afar, the Su Clan Patriarch hesitated several times, wanting to go over and greet Ye Yunfei, but he ultimately could not bring himself to lower his pride and did not approach.
"I hope Ye Yunfei does not consider our Su Clan an enemy in the future," the Su Clan Patriarch sighed, finally walking over to Su Yunzhe only after Ye Yunfei had departed.
"We, the Su Clan, made the wrong choice. If from the very beginning we had chosen Ye Yunfei to be the distinguished son-in-law of our Su Clan, it would have been ideal," the Su Clan Patriarch said.
"Patriarch, with Qingluo serving as the bond, our Su Clan still has a chance to establish ties with Ye Yunfei," Su Yunzhe said.
"Right!" The Su Clan Patriarch felt a surge of spirit.
"Patriarch, does our Su Clan still vie for the Canghuang Origin?" a Su Clan elder inquired at that moment.
Other high-ranking members of the Su Clan also gathered around their patriarch.
"Do you think, given our Su Clan's strength, it is possible for us to seize the Canghuang Origin?" the Su Clan Patriarch asked in return.
"It would be very difficult. And it would likely invite great calamity," that elder thought for a moment before sighing.
"Therefore, from now on, our Su Clan will not participate in the struggle for the Canghuang Origin," the Su Clan Patriarch declared.
Over half a day later, Ye Yunfei and Shangguan Han returned to the Sacred Temple headquarters.
"What? Little friend, you killed seven early-stage Dao Molding Realm experts at the Su Clan headquarters?" The two elder ancestors of the Sacred Temple were dumbfounded when they learned of what had transpired at the Su Clan.
"Elders, that's not strange at all. When Ye Yunfei slew the Great Elder and Second Elder, it was also one blade for each," Shangguan Han said.
"That is true." Hearing this, the two elders of the Sacred Temple could not help but nod.
"Little friend, you are so young, yet you possess such astonishing combat prowess. It is truly marvelous," one of the elder ancestors exclaimed with feeling.
"Little friend, I wonder if it is convenient for you now to heal the injuries to our meridians?" asked the other elder ancestor with an ingratiating smile, carefully probing.
"My reason for returning to the Sacred Temple this time is precisely to heal you two," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent!" The two elder ancestors felt invigorated and were extremely excited.
According to Ye Yunfei's previous statement, if their injuries dragged on for a few more years, even a Golden Immortal would not be able to save them.
Given Ye Yunfei's various prodigious demonstrations, they had long since developed unwavering faith in him!
"Little friend, rest assured, all the herbs required will be provided by our Sacred Temple. Moreover, after the treatment, we will also provide you with a considerable reward, guaranteed to be to your satisfaction!" one of the elder ancestors said.
"My reason for helping you is entirely for Shangguan Han's sake. A reward or not is inconsequential," Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
The two elder ancestors immediately ordered a large batch of medicinal herbs to be brought and handed over to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and refined a large quantity of pills.
A day later, Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower and handed these pills to the two elder ancestors.
"The injuries to your Dantians and meridians were primarily caused by your excessive eagerness to breakthrough, persistently and forcefully rushing your cultivation realms. Therefore, from now on, you must rest and recuperate gradually, practice your cultivation techniques carefully, nourish your Dantian and meridians, and combine that with the pills I refined to mend your meridians and Dantian. Here's the plan—I will give you two some guidance on how to utilize Spiritual Energy to nourish and repair your Dantians and meridians," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent! We will trouble you, little friend. We will certainly listen earnestly and heed your teachings!" The two elder ancestors were overjoyed.
They were elder ancestors of the Sacred Temple, belonging to the most top-tier experts in the Canghuang Realm. Yet now, they were to accept guidance from a junior. Such a thing would certainly be unbelievable if it spread. But these two elders knew that Ye Yunfei's understanding of the Martial Dao undoubtedly surpassed theirs!
For the next day, Ye Yunfei patiently guided the two elder ancestors.
They listened attentively as Ye Yunfei explained to them how to use Spiritual Energy to nourish and repair their Dantians and meridians. Hearing the brilliant points, they could not help but exclaim repeatedly in awe.
They discovered that the various methods and techniques Ye Yunfei taught them were utterly exquisite, allowing them to directly resolve the many perplexities accumulated during their past cultivation, even producing moments of epiphany.
It felt like clouds parting to reveal clear skies—a sense of enlightened clarity!
"Young Friend Ye, listening to your teachings has been of immense benefit to the two of us! We are now confident that in the future, we will definitely be able to break through to the late-stage Dao Molding Realm! Young Friend Ye, though you are young in age, you are the mentor for the two of us! Please accept our deepest bow!" After hearing Ye Yunfei's teachings, the two elder ancestors were extremely moved and bowed deeply to Ye Yunfei in unison.
"No need for thanks. Meeting me can also be considered a fortuitous opportunity for you two. One might say, you chose Shangguan Han, and you chose correctly," Ye Yunfei said with a light smile.
"That's true, we certainly made the right choice!" The two elder ancestors shuddered slightly upon hearing this, privately congratulating themselves on having made the correct decision back then. Had they chosen Lü Wutian, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
"Alright, now that the Sacred Temple has stabilized, I should take my leave," Ye Yunfei said to Shangguan Han.
"Ye Yunfei, now that everyone knows the Canghuang Origin is with you, they will certainly not let it rest. More and more people will come to trouble you. Moreover, mid-stage Dao Molding Realm experts, and even late-stage Dao Molding Realm experts will come for you. I've heard there are quite a few late-stage Dao Molding Realm experts in the Other Realm. They will come eventually," Shangguan Han said.
"It is of no consequence. Let them come," Ye Yunfei replied.
Ever since the moment he brought the Canghuang Origin with him, Ye Yunfei had long foreseen this scenario.
"Ye Yunfei, where do you plan to go next?" Shangguan Han asked.
"I intend to return to Qingyun Palace first," Ye Yunfei said after some thought.
Now that Su Qingluo, Wu Heishan, Dugu Huan, and the others were by his side, Ye Yunfei planned to send them back to Qingyun Palace headquarters first.
Because all the enemies Ye Yunfei would now be facing would be Dao Molding Realm experts. It was somewhat dangerous to keep Su Qingluo and the others with him. Therefore, Ye Yunfei wanted to send them back to Qingyun Palace, under the protection of the Suanni.
"In that case, I will handle the affairs of the Sacred Temple as quickly as possible. If you ever need assistance, I can come to help at any time. Ye Yunfei, you are my great benefactor, don't stand on ceremony with me," Shangguan Han said.
"Good. If I need help, I will call upon you. But there is no hurry. You should take care of the Sacred Temple's affairs first. Also, it's about time for you to breakthrough your own realm. I've refined some pills for you. Take them. Furthermore, I will impart a breathing technique to you. Practice it diligently during this period. It won't be long before you can break through," Ye Yunfei said, pulling out over a dozen vials of pills and handing them to Shangguan Han.
While refining pills for the two elder ancestors, Ye Yunfei had casually refined a batch for Shangguan Han as well.
"What? Ye Yunfei, are you saying I can break through to the mid-stage Dao Molding Realm?" Shangguan Han shuddered upon hearing this and asked excitedly.
"Yes. Did you think dividing your physical body and soul body into eight parts, burying them in eight different locations, each nourished and tempered by a different celestial phenomenon, and enduring such a prolonged period had no effect at all? Your accumulated foundation from all these years is deeper than you imagine. You have already met the conditions for a breakthrough," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Excellent! Ye Yunfei, if you say I can break through, then I will certainly be able to break through!" Shangguan Han was overjoyed. He understood Ye Yunfei's capabilities deeply. Since Ye Yunfei said so, it meant he would definitely be able to break through.
"Haha… This way, our Sacred Temple will have three mid-stage Dao Molding Realm experts! Its strength will ascend to a whole new level!" The two elder ancestors of the Sacred Temple were also very pleased.
