These green mists were actually formed by the condensation of countless green droplets, each containing a massive amount of wood-attribute refined energy.
For cultivators who practiced wood-attribute techniques and martial arts, this green mist was simply priceless.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
As more and more green mist was released from those piles of wood-attributed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the entire secret chamber transformed into a vast, emerald sea.
Within this sea of green mist, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, motionless, urging the incantations of the Greenwood Emperor Body.
Gradually, every inch of Ye Yunfei's skin, muscles, bones, hair, even the pupils of his eyes, were dyed a deep green.
An immense torrent of wood-attribute energy essence ceaselessly surged into Ye Yunfei's body, saturating every part of his flesh.
Guided by the Greenwood Emperor Body technique, this wood-attribute energy essence began to reconstruct Ye Yunfei's physique.
***
At that very moment.
Above Qanyan City.
A Flying Boat approached from afar, moving with extreme speed.
In moments, it arrived above Qianyan City and came to a hovering halt.
"Find him! Find that boy immediately!"
An enraged roar echoed from within the Flying Boat.
Immediately, hundreds of figures rushed out from the vessel, descending into Qianyan City below.
"Look! It's people from Divine Medicine Valley!"
"They must be here to avenge Elder Lu Shan."
...
Instantly, murmurs of discussion broke out throughout Qianyan City.
A short while later.
The hundreds of Divine Medicine Valley members rose into the air one after another, returning to the Flying Boat hovering above the city.
"That boy went to Qingxia City. He left with Miss Xia Feiyan from the Xia family there."
Someone inside the Flying Boat reported loudly.
"Head to Qingxia City immediately!"
A voice commanded.
The Flying Boat immediately turned around and sped off in the direction of Qingxia City.
Within the main hall of the vessel, a white-robed elder with a profound and deep aura sat upright in the central seat.
This white-robed elder's strength was at the early stage of the True Manifestation Realm!
Besides him, there were also four late-stage Saint Realm cultivators in the boat! Seven at the mid-stage! Fifteen at the early-stage! And hundreds of Martial Artists with Profound Realm cultivation.
"Wu Gui, is it true that Elder Lu Shan was killed by that boy with a single punch?" The white-robed elder, his gaze turning towards a particular man, asked.
"Elder Yan, it's absolutely true. That boy's physical strength was terrifying. Elder Lu Shan attacked first. Who would have thought that kid wouldn't dodge or evade, just threw a punch head-on against Elder Lu's strike. In the end, Elder Lu Shan's physical body was shattered by his fist."
The man answered. This man was Wu Gui, a disciple of Divine Medicine Valley. During the treasure exchange conference in Qianyan City, he and several other disciples had been by Elder Lu Shan's side. After Elder Lu Shan was killed, they had fled in disarray.
"Hmm... It seems the boy excels in physical power. Moreover, I suspect he temporarily consumed a certain pill that stimulates potential. Otherwise, at such a young age, it's impossible to possess such formidable physical strength. Everyone, take note: maintain distance when facing him. Avoid head-on clashes if possible." Elder Yan contemplated.
"Elder Yan, it's just some snot-nosed kid. What's there to be afraid of? We have so many Saint Realm experts here. If we all swarm him, we could probably tear him apart instantly. Besides, with Elder Yan personally overseeing this, dealing with that boy will be as easy as turning over a hand." A mid-stage Saint Realm cultivator scoffed.
"That's right, Elder Yan. When the time comes, there'll be no need for you to act at all. We can handle that kid ourselves." The other Saint Realm cultivators also laughed.
"Don't underestimate the opponent. Remember, even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit. Even if it's just a junior, do not be careless," Elder Yan admonished.
"Wu Gui, is it true that boy really has fifteen Realm Breaking Pills in his possession?" Elder Yan's gaze returned to Wu Gui.
Immediately, all eyes within the Flying Boat focused on Wu Gui.
"Yes. I saw it with my own eyes. That boy produced fifteen Realm Breaking Pills."
Wu Gui nodded.
*Hiss!*
The gazes of everyone in the Flying Boat grew burning with intensity.
A single Realm Breaking Pill was already priceless beyond measure. The value of fifteen was simply unimaginable.
"Elder Yan, I want one of those fifteen Realm Breaking Pills. With one, I could immediately break through to become a True Manifestation Realm expert." Suddenly, one of the late-stage Saint Realm cultivators spoke up.
"I want one too!"
"And me!"
"And me!"
The other three late-stage Saint Realm cultivators also voiced their demands.
"Haha, don't worry. Before coming, I discussed this with the Valley Master. These fifteen Realm Breaking Pills are primarily for you late-stage Saint Realm disciples. This way, we'll gain fifteen more True Manifestation Realm experts! By then, the strength of our Divine Medicine Valley will truly soar! In the entire Eastern Region, aside from the Three Sages, Five Clans, and Nine Sects, our Divine Medicine Valley will be the strongest force! In time, even catching up to the Three Sages, Five Clans, and Nine Sects isn't impossible!" Elder Yan laughed heartily.
The others were also visibly excited.
***
Qingxia City, Xia Manor, within the secret chamber.
Every inch of the chamber's space was filled with dense green mist.
Now.
The cultivation of the Greenwood Emperor Body had reached its most critical juncture.
Within the thick green mist sat a figure, its entire body tinted green. Its hair was green, even its pupils glowed like brilliant green gemstones. Mysterious runes covered its skin.
It no longer looked entirely human.
Surrounding him, the once mountainous piles of wood-attributed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had now been drained of almost all their wood-attribute essence, reduced to heaps of waste.
Only the three pieces of Sansheng Divine Wood still continued to release massive quantities of wood-attribute essence, resembling three green rivers continuously flowing into Ye Yunfei's body.
"Achieving the minor completion stage of the Greenwood Emperor Body is proving too difficult," Ye Yunfei, enveloped within the green mist, let out a light sigh. "It seems this cultivation session will at most allow me to reach the entry-level stage."
Ye Yunfei understood now; he had somewhat underestimated the Greenwood Emperor Body. Being one of the ten major physique-refining techniques across the Three Thousand Worlds, how could it be easily mastered?
"Entry-level it is, then. Even at the entry level, its power shouldn't be weak." Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
***
At this moment.
A Flying Boat arrived abruptly above Qingxia City.
Then.
Hundreds of figures emerged from the vessel.
At the forefront was Divine Medicine Valley's Elder Yan.
An expert at the early stage of the True Manifestation Realm!
"Hmm, it seems many factions besides our Divine Medicine Valley have also set their sights on that boy," Elder Yan remarked as his gaze swept towards the direction of Xia Manor, a frown creasing his brow. He discovered that numerous forces had already taken up positions surrounding the manor, waiting to make their move.
"Hmph! The Realm Breaking Pills on that boy must belong to our Divine Medicine Valley. If anyone dares to snatch them from us, they will not be forgiven lightly!" Elder Yan snorted coldly.
