"Tianli, quick! Give me that Spirit Pill to take!"
At that moment, Xia Tiancheng's aura had become extremely feeble, weak and listless.
He could sense that his injuries were, without a doubt, exactly the same as before!
Ye Yunfei's technique was incredibly profound; with a single strike, he had made Xia Tiancheng's injuries identical to the cultivation deviation from earlier.
"Master, I..."
The Second Concubine was dumbstruck.
She knew the Spirit Pill in her hand was merely a second-grade pill, with very ordinary efficacy.
Moreover, she had already given Xia Tiancheng several such pills earlier, and they had had no effect at all!
"Hurry! What are you waiting for? Give me the pill!" Xia Tiancheng roared.
Only then did the Second Concubine force herself to take out that white Spirit Pill and give it to Xia Tiancheng to swallow.
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a cold smile playing on his face.
The other members of the Xia family who stood around were all silent as well; no one dared to step forward and challenge Ye Yunfei.
A moment later.
"Why is it useless?! Tianli, your Spirit Pill has no effect on my injuries at all!" Xia Tiancheng cried out anxiously, his voice a low growl.
"Master, by now, you still don't understand? Your illness wasn't cured by Zhuo Tianli. It was this young master Ye Yunfei who cured you. Yet you repaid kindness with enmity and even brought people to deal with Young Master Ye Yunfei. Enough. Feiyan, let's go."
Xiao Tianrong gave a light sigh and shook her head.
"Alright. Mother, Young Master Ye Yunfei, Xiao Yu, let's go."
Xia Feiyan was also thoroughly disappointed in her father.
Ye Yunfei took a step, following Xia Feiyan and her mother as they walked toward the exit.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, I know I was wrong! Please save me!"
Suddenly, Xia Tiancheng knelt down, full of regret, and shouted.
Yet, Ye Yunfei paid him no mind.
"Feiyan, hurry, ask Young Master Ye Yunfei to save me!" Xia Tiancheng grew desperate.
He knew full well that without prompt treatment, his injuries would kill him before long.
However, Xia Feiyan simply ignored her father's pleas.
"Tianrong, please beg Young Master Ye Yunfei to cure me! We've been husband and wife for so long; will you really stand by and watch me die?" Xia Tiancheng then pleaded with Xiao Tianrong.
Hearing his words, Xiao Tianrong involuntarily halted her steps.
"Pleading with me is useless. Plead with Young Master Ye Yunfei; that would be useful." Xiao Tianrong sighed.
"Mother, since he's so heartless, why should you care about him? Let's go," Xia Feiyan tugged at Xiao Tianrong's sleeve.
"But..."
Xiao Tianrong hesitated; she simply could not sever the affection she held as his wife.
"It's not impossible for me to save you. I have one requirement."
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke.
Since he had obtained the Xia family's Sansheng Divine Wood, it was only right to save this Xia Tiancheng.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, whatever your requirement, please speak! As long as I can do it, I will certainly satisfy you!"
Xia Tiancheng was overjoyed.
"Have that vile woman be thrown out of Xia Manor immediately. And she is never to step foot inside Xia Manor again. The sight of her sickens me."
Ye Yunfei pointed at the Second Concubine.
"You little bastard! What are you saying?! What right do you have to make me leave?! Tiancheng, listen! This little bastard dares speak of me like that! You must get revenge for me!"
The Second Concubine immediately shrieked, her gaze toward Ye Yunfei filled with bitter hatred.
Ye Yunfei smiled coldly and remained silent.
"Shut up!" Xia Tiancheng suddenly roared.
The Second Concubine was instantly frightened into silence.
"Someone! Throw Zhuo Tianli out of Xia Manor!"
Xia Tiancheng's face shifted uncertainly. He hesitated for a moment, but soon made up his mind.
After all, his own life was the most important.
"Tiancheng, no! You little bastard, what gives you the right to drive me out?!"
The Second Concubine turned pale with fright.
Within Xia Manor, with Xia Tiancheng backing her, she could bully and exert power, but outside it, she would be nothing.
"You vile woman! From start to finish, you've only cared about yourself, never my life or death! Throw her out!" Xia Tiancheng bellowed.
Several Xia Manor servants stepped forward, seized the Second Concubine, and dragged her away.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, you see..." Xia Tiancheng looked at Ye Yunfei ingratiatingly.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and a Spirit Pill flew to land before Xia Tiancheng.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye Yunfei!"
Overjoyed, Xia Tiancheng hastily grabbed the pill and swallowed it.
Immediately, he could feel the injuries in his body beginning to recover swiftly.
"Tianrong, you and your daughter mustn't go. Before, I was wrong. I was deceived by that vile woman Zhuo Tianli. From now on, she will never have another chance to step foot in Xia Manor."
Xia Tiancheng said to Xiao Tianrong.
He was joking; he had been defeated by Ye Yunfei without even half a move earlier. How would he dare go back on his promise to Ye Yunfei now?
In his heart, he swore that from this moment on, he absolutely must not let the Second Concubine return to Xia Manor. Otherwise, if this young man before him ever held him accountable, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Feiyan, Young Master Ye Yunfei is young and accomplished, with astonishing strength. Whenever you're free in the future, spend more time with Young Master Ye Yunfei and learn from him. Young Master Ye Yunfei, Feiyan is actually very easy to get along with. In the future, I'll have her try to accommodate you."
Xia Tiancheng's face was full of ingratiation. He had begun deliberately trying to curry favor with Ye Yunfei!
Because he suspected that Ye Yunfei might be a core disciple from some major sect or clan.
Otherwise, how could he possess such monstrous strength? And be able to casually produce such effective Spirit Pills?
"Father! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Feiyan immediately blushed crimson and glared at Xia Tiancheng.
However, she couldn't help stealing another glance at Ye Yunfei. Deep down, she felt a hint of anticipation.
"Hehe, Miss, Young Master Ye Yunfei truly is quite impressive. I think..." Xiao Yu whispered beside Xia Feiyan.
Even Xiao Tianrong couldn't help but look at Ye Yunfei, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
"Haha! Young Master Ye Yunfei, thank you for stepping in to cure the Patriarch. Pass down the order! Prepare a grand feast to entertain Young Master Ye Yunfei!"
The five Elders of the Xia family also came forward to greet Ye Yunfei, each showing great enthusiasm.
Such was the world of martial artists; the strong were revered.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had displayed had completely awed everyone in the Xia family.
Both Xia Tiancheng and the five Elders had developed a desire to ingratiate themselves with Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, how about... you stay in our Xia Manor for a few days?"
Xia Feiyan, her face red, came before Ye Yunfei and said in a soft voice.
She stood very close. Waves of a young maiden's delicate fragrance wafted directly into Ye Yunfei's nose.
It had to be said that Xia Feiyan was very beautiful.
Though, in terms of temperament, she couldn't compare to Su Qingluo, she was still a rare great beauty.
"Prepare a quiet cultivation chamber for me. I need to go into seclusion for two days."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
What Ye Yunfei most wanted now was to cultivate the Greenwood Emperor Body.
Hearing this, the members of the Xia family were momentarily stunned.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei is truly extraordinary, prioritizing cultivation above all. Someone! Immediately escort Young Master Ye Yunfei to the best cultivation chamber in our Xia Manor!"
Recovering first, Xia Tiancheng immediately ordered.
A short while later.
Within an underground cultivation chamber somewhere in Xia Manor, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged.
Ten spatial rings and three pieces of Sansheng Divine Wood hovered in the air before him.
Each of these spatial rings was filled with wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, procured by Ye Yunfei at the Four Directions Trading House in Tianyan City.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took out all the wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the ten spatial rings.
Instantly, the entire chamber was piled high with heaps of these treasures, like miniature hills, burying Ye Yunfei at its center.
"Greenwood Emperor Body... I hope I can succeed in cultivating it."
Ye Yunfei secretly thought.
He first read the cultivation method for the Greenwood Emperor Body meticulously over a dozen times.
Then, Ye Yunfei brought his hands together, cradling emptiness as if holding the Supreme Ultimate, and began to activate the art.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
As the Greenwood Emperor Body cultivation technique was activated, the pure wood essence contained within the surrounding wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was suddenly drawn forth.
Wisps of azure energy essence gradually rose from those wood-attribute treasures, converging toward Ye Yunfei's body.
Especially those three pieces of Sansheng Divine Wood, they released a truly oceanic amount of wood essence, deep and vast beyond measure.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei's body was completely submerged within a massive amount of azure mist.
