"The number of Deities within the Restorer Faction is too few. If we truly wish to contend with the Guardian Faction, we must have more Deities.
Very well, starting now, I will do my best to see if I can help the Restorer Faction give birth to a greater number of Deities."
Ye Yunfei spoke slowly.
This stretch of void had now entered a new Deity Era; energy and laws had already upgraded, completely fulfilling the conditions needed to give rise to more Deities.
Thus, Ye Yunfei found that middle-aged man.
"Senior, gather all the Perfected Demigods within the Restorer Faction. I will refine a batch of medicinal pills to help them charge toward the Deity realm," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent! Young Master Ye, I will immediately summon all our faction's Perfected Demigods," the middle-aged man replied, becoming visibly excited upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words. This was a Divine Pill Master! Divine Pills refined by a Divine Pill Master possessed miraculous efficacy.
Having a Divine Pill Master personally intervene to help Perfected Demigods charge toward the Deity realm would undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of success.
Soon, the middle-aged man gathered all the Perfected Demigods within the Restorer Faction—a total of over two hundred.
The two hundred-plus Perfected Demigods stood before Ye Yunfei, looking at him with fervent gazes. They had already learned from the middle-aged man that Ye Yunfei was a Divine Pill Master. For a Divine Pill Master to personally refine pills for them was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
"Young Master Ye, our Restorer Faction suffered several serious setbacks some time ago, resulting in grievous losses. Only this many Perfected Demigods remain now," the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei with a trace of despondence.
"Such strength truly cannot compare with the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
One had to know that even the Alliance Army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds now had over two thousand Demigods, with the number of Perfected Demigods approaching a hundred. If they continued developing at this rate, the Alliance Army's overall strength would eventually catch up to, or even surpass, the Restorer Faction's.
Of course, this was mainly because the Restorer Faction had suffered too heavily in the recent past. First, their headquarters had been seized by the Guardian Faction, then their secret base had also been captured. Those two battles had inflicted massive damage on the faction's overall strength.
The Alliance Army, however, had remained hidden within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, enjoying the vast amounts of high-grade cultivation resources Ye Yunfei provided, resulting in an ever-growing number of Demigods.
"Everyone, I will refine medicinal pills for all of you to aid your charge toward the Deity realm. The pills I will refine are all some comparatively famous ancient ones, known for providing significant assistance during realm breakthroughs. Their effects should be quite good.
As long as all of you cultivate diligently, strive to charge the realm, and combine that with my pills, I believe our Restorer Faction will undoubtedly give rise to many new Deities."
Ye Yunfei looked at the Perfected Demigods before him and spoke in a clear, resonant voice.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, we will definitely go all out in our charge toward the realm!"
The Perfected Demigods replied in unison, brimming with anticipation. Breaking through to become a Deity was the ultimate dream in their cultivation journey.
Ye Yunfei then began tirelessly refining pills for these Perfected Demigods.
Based on the elemental attributes of the cultivation techniques each Perfected Demigod practiced, Ye Yunfei refined corresponding varieties of pills for them.
Within the Divine Alchemy Hall of the True Phoenix Tomb, Ye Yunfei had obtained a portion of the pill refinement legacies collected by the ancient True Phoenix Divine Clan. These contained many ancient and highly useful pill formulas—some for Divine Pills, others for Demigod Pills, and even some suited for realms below Demigod.
Pill formulas deemed worthy of being collected by the True Phoenix Divine Clan's Divine Alchemy Hall were, of course, extraordinarily precious.
For several consecutive days, Ye Yunfei refined sufficient pills for the Restorer Faction's Perfected Demigods.
On the third day, suddenly...
Boom! Rumble...
Over a certain location within this Small World, dense dark clouds abruptly gathered, forming a heavy blanket of tribulation clouds that covered a vast expanse of sky.
"Oh?
Has someone finally begun a breakthrough?"
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy was immensely powerful; he detected it immediately. Someone was undergoing a Lightning Tribulation, and it was for a Deity-level advancement.
Emerging from the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei instantly arrived near that distant area covered in tribulation clouds. He then saw a Primary Level Void God standing beneath towering bolts of lightning, preparing to undergo his tribulation.
"Young Master Ye, the Divine Pills you refined are incredibly effective! Our Restorer Faction is about to gain another Middle Level Void God," said the middle-aged man, who had also arrived near the tribulation site. He approached Ye Yunfei, clearly quite excited.
An additional Middle Level Void God would increase the faction's overall strength by a few points.
The tribulation soon commenced.
After experiencing the lightning tribulation, that Primary Level Void God finally succeeded in his breakthrough, becoming a Middle Level Void God.
Over the next two days, four more Primary Level Void Gods broke through consecutively.
"Hahaha! Young Master Ye, our Restorer Faction has gained five new Middle Level Void Gods in these past few days!"
The middle-aged man was thrilled. Even that Elder Duan emerged from his secluded cultivation grotto to witness these tribulations and breakthroughs.
"Young Master Ye, this is entirely thanks to you!"
Elder Duan looked at Ye Yunfei with an appreciative gaze.
"Young Master Ye, those Divine Pills you gave me were extremely effective. My injuries have already recovered a great deal over these past few days," Elder Duan added.
"Senior, if your injuries are completely healed, your true original realm should be that of a High Level Void God, correct?"
Ye Yunfei sensed the old man's aura and found it indeed much stronger than a few days prior.
Days ago, Ye Yunfei had given him many specialized injury-healing pills, and they had apparently worked wonders.
"Correct, Young Master Ye. In the ancient times, I was indeed a High Level Void God. However, I was later severely injured after being encircled and attacked by several experts from the Guardian Faction. My injuries have never truly healed, remaining until now."
The old man laughed as he replied.
"Senior, rest assured. I will continue refining more injury-healing pills for you to assist in your recovery until you are fully healed," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent! Young Master Ye, I'll be in your debt. If my injuries can recover, I won't have to be so hesitant and cautious when facing those scoundrels from the Guardian Faction," the elder said gratefully.
Boom! Rumble...
At this moment, rolling peals of thunder suddenly echoed from another location within this Small World.
"Great news! Someone else within our Restorer Faction is about to have a breakthrough!"
The middle-aged man cried excitedly.
Then, with a flash of his figure, he rushed toward the direction of the thunder.
Ye Yunfei and Elder Duan also hurriedly activated their movement techniques and headed to that location. Soon, they saw another enormous patch of tribulation clouds in the distance, dark and heavy, covering a vast area of the sky.
"That's a Deification Tribulation!"
Ye Yunfei and Elder Duan said almost simultaneously, both quite agitated.
Previously, the breakthroughs had been Primary Level Void Gods advancing to Middle Level. This time, it was a Perfected Demigod about to break through and become a Deity.
Once this Perfected Demigod succeeded, the Restorer Faction would gain another Deity.
"It seems the pills I refined are beginning to take effect," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"This is the power of a Divine Pill Master. No wonder in ancient times, every Divine Pill Master would become an honored guest of various major powers, welcomed with fervent enthusiasm wherever they went.
A single Divine Pill Master can absolutely cause any faction's overall strength to increase dramatically," Hun Lao could not help but exclaim with admiration.
"Elder Duan, it looks like our Restorer Faction is about to gain another Deity. I just sensed Liu Le's aura; his breakthrough should be successful," the middle-aged man said as he arrived before Elder Duan, still excited.
"This is entirely Young Master Ye's achievement!" Elder Duan was also quite stirred.
"Both Seniors, this is only the beginning. Our Restorer Faction's overall strength is somewhat weak compared to the Guardian Faction's, so we must properly enhance our power," Ye Yunfei said.
"Indeed, Young Master Ye. Our Restorer Faction has always strived to improve its strength. However, due to the Guardian Faction's frenzied suppression, we face restrictions everywhere, making it difficult to enhance our power.
But now that our faction has gained a Divine Pill Master, improving our strength should be much easier," Elder Duan nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Senior, the Guardian Faction should also have Divine Pill Masters, right?" Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of this and asked.
"Yes, the Guardian Faction definitely possesses Divine Pill Masters," the old man nodded.
Soon after, that Perfected Demigod successfully broke through, officially becoming a Deity.
Having succeeded, that newly-advanced Primary Level Void God named Liu Le first paid respects to Elder Duan and the middle-aged man. Then he came before Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, gratitude beyond words. I have been stuck at the Perfected Demigod realm for a very long time, never managing to break through to Deity. Now, with Young Master Ye's help, I have finally succeeded and become a Deity. I will definitely bear this favor in my heart."
Liu Le performed a deep, formal bow to Ye Yunfei as he spoke with heartfelt thanks.
"Brother Liu need not be so formal. We are all on the same side," Ye Yunfei hurriedly returned the courtesy.
In the subsequent days, within this Small World, a continuous total of ten Perfected Demigods successfully broke through and became Deities.
Thus, the Restorer Faction gained eleven new Deities, nearly doubling the number of Deities they possessed.
Elder Duan and that middle-aged man remained highly excited throughout these days. Elder Duan, who had previously spent most of his time in secluded cultivation within his grotto, found himself utterly unable to concentrate on his cultivation these past few days. Every time a tribulation occurred, he would immediately rush out of his grotto to watch.
"It seems the pill refinement legacies I obtained from the True Phoenix Tomb's Divine Alchemy Hall are truly exceptional. Especially those pill formulas recorded within—their effects are genuinely excellent."
Ye Yunfei was also quite satisfied with these results.
"Young Master Ye, I have just received news. The Guardian Faction is preparing to take action against our Restorer Faction. They seem to have learned some information regarding this secret base of ours and are intensifying their search efforts."
Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission from the middle-aged man.
"I suspect this is mostly the result of intelligence being leaked by a traitor within our Restorer Faction," the middle-aged man added.
