‘What the Patriarch says makes sense. Before that young master took action, I too didn't dare to believe he could actually defeat a True God, as he himself is only a Void God, and a young junior at that.
But against all odds, he precisely did defeat a True God. We cannot view that young master through the lens of an ordinary person. He absolutely belongs to the category of an exceptional talent, a dragon among men.’
Upon hearing the Patriarch’s words, the Family Head of the Liu Family also nodded as he spoke.
‘So it seems our Liu Family has truly become acquainted with a Divine Pill Master, and he’s even refining pills for us free of charge,’ an elder said excitedly.
‘From now on, everyone must treat this young man with the utmost courtesy. Regardless of his power, his status as a Divine Pill Master, or the kindness he has shown our Liu Family, he deserves the respect and deference of all members of our Liu Family,’ the Patriarch of the Liu Family declared firmly.
‘Patriarch, we understand. I will immediately convey your order. From this moment, every member of our Liu Family, from the highest to the lowest, will show great respect to this young master,’ the Family Head promptly said.
‘Also, dispatch scouts at once to closely monitor every move of the Guardian Faction. The Guardian Faction suffered a major setback at our family headquarters; they will definitely not let the matter rest.
Henceforth, pay meticulous attention to any action by the Guardian Faction. Additionally, keep a close watch on those subordinate forces affiliated with the Guardian Faction,’ the Patriarch continued.
‘Patriarch, I will send people immediately to monitor the Guardian Faction,’ the Family Head affirmed with a nod.
‘Our Liu Family’s trump card should also make an appearance now,’ the Patriarch’s gaze shifted deep into the heart of the Liu Family headquarters.
Deep within the family headquarters stood a small temple that appeared somewhat worn and dilapidated. The space surrounding this temple shimmered with a profusion of dazzling Grand Dao Laws, which emitted astonishing energy pressure, instilling terror in anyone who attempted to approach.
‘Very well, all of you, return to your own duties. From now on, every member of our Liu Family must devote their primary energy and time to cultivation.
Our Liu Family already faces an extremely difficult predicament. The Guardian Faction is determined to exterminate us. Only by uniting as one, pooling the strength of our entire clan, do we stand a chance of weathering this crisis.’
The Patriarch’s gaze swept slowly across the other high-ranking members of the Liu Family assembled in the hall before he spoke gravely.
‘Rest assured, Patriarch, all members of the Liu Family will stand united, facing this tribulation together,’ the Family Head took a deep breath before stating firmly.
The Patriarch gave a nod, then took a single step and vanished from the council hall, heading in the direction of the small temple deep within the headquarters. Moments later, he entered the temple.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei had been continuously refining pills.
Roughly two months later, Ye Yunfei’s main body, carrying a batch of pills, emerged from the Phantom Tower and sought out the Family Head.
‘Young master, you’ve finished refining the pills so quickly?’
Seeing Ye Yunfei seek him out again so soon, the Family Head couldn’t help but feel astonished. In his estimation, for Ye Yunfei to refine pills for all the Deities of the Liu Family would require a considerable length of time. Yet Ye Yunfei had spent such a brief period in the cultivation chamber, so the quantity of pills refined should be limited. He was unaware that Ye Yunfei possessed a sophisticated spatial treasure with a time differential.
‘These pills are all refined for the Deities of your Liu Family. Take them and distribute them,’ Ye Yunfei waved a hand, and a large number of jade vials materialized, hovering before the Family Head.
‘Young master, have you truly refined pills for all the Deities of our Liu Family?’
Gazing at the large cluster of jade vials suspended before him, the Family Head was greatly taken aback and asked again. He simply couldn’t believe Ye Yunfei had managed to complete pills for all the Liu Family’s Deities in such a short span.
‘Yes, the pills for all the Deities of your Liu Family are done. Take them for their consumption. I believe your Liu Family should see many Deities breaking through and advancing next,’ Ye Yunfei nodded with confidence.
‘Very well! Young master, I cannot thank you enough! I shall take these pills at once to our family’s Deities.’
The Family Head took a deep breath before speaking with great excitement. He then collected all the Divine Pills Ye Yunfei had given him and turned to leave.
‘Senior, these pills are the ones I refined for you.’
Ye Yunfei turned to face the depths of the Liu Family headquarters, then flicked his fingers, sending several vials of pills flying deep into that region.
‘Thank you, young master, for refining pills for this old man.’
The figure of the Patriarch materialized in the depths of the headquarters. He caught the pills Ye Yunfei had sent in and spoke.
‘Bring me your Liu Family’s formation materials. I wish to arrange some Formations for your family.’
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before adding. He wanted to draw this Liu Family into being his ally, so he didn’t mind giving them a few more benefits. The stronger the Liu Family became, the greater their confidence would be when confronting the Guardian Faction later.
‘Young master, could it be that you are also a Formation Master?’
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the Patriarch couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
‘I can be considered one,’ Ye Yunfei nodded.
‘The young master’s methods are truly exceptional. You are truly a dragon among men!’
The Patriarch, shocked, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. He then issued an order, and people were promptly dispatched to deliver a large batch of formation-arranging materials to Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei took these materials and began setting up Formations both inside and outside the Liu Family headquarters.
‘This young master is indeed a Formation Master, and his proficiency is remarkably high.’
The Patriarch had been continuously sensing Ye Yunfei’s actions. Watching as Ye Yunfei constructed one profound Formation after another, he couldn't help but murmur in admiration.
‘Not only are the Formations laid by the young master numerous, but their grades are high, and their power is impressive as well. They have elevated the defensive capabilities of our family headquarters by one level.’
The Family Head and the other high-ranking elders were also observing Ye Yunfei. Seeing the Formations he erected, their faces lit up with pleasant surprise, and they sighed in wonder. The high-ranking members of the Liu Family felt even greater respect and admiration for Ye Yunfei.
Combat prowess capable of defeating True Gods, a Divine Pill Master, and a Formation Master—any single one of these three identities was astonishing enough. Now, all three were gathered in one young man, making it even more awe-inspiring.
‘Family Head, what exactly is the origin of this young master? Since when has such a monstrously talented young man appeared within our Sixth Void?’
The Liu Family’s high-ranking members speculated among themselves.
‘I don’t know either. I have already sent people to investigate the young master’s background, but so far, nothing has been uncovered.
However, our investigation into his origins must be conducted secretly; we absolutely must not let him become aware of it.
Moreover, regardless of what this young master’s origins may be, he is worthy of our Liu Family’s friendship. From now on, this young master is our family’s honored guest. Everyone must treat him with the utmost respect.’
The Family Head emphasized once more.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had arranged a large number of Formations both inside and outside the Liu Family headquarters. Moreover, Ye Yunfei didn’t only set up Formations; he also arranged Earth Formations.
Formation after Formation, Earth Formation after Earth Formation, layer upon layer, inside and out, constructing several tiers of defensive barriers.
‘The defensive power of our Liu Family has been elevated by a whole grade.’
Leading some of the high-ranking elders to inspect the Earth Formations and Formations Ye Yunfei had set up, the Family Head repeatedly praised them, visibly excited.
At this moment, within the small temple deep in the Liu Family headquarters, the Patriarch sat cross-legged. Before him hovered three jade vials.
These three vials were the ones Ye Yunfei had just delivered to him, containing the pills Ye Yunfei had refined for him.
‘I am a True God. Pills at the Void God level are of little use to me. Yet he still refined pills for me. Could it be that what’s inside these is…’
While sensing the process of Ye Yunfei’s formation arrangement, the Patriarch looked at the three jade vials before him, his expression complex. He dared not believe it, yet he held a sliver of anticipation.
Then, taking a deep breath, he moved his will. A surge of energy opened the lids of all three vials, and the pills inside leaped out.
‘All of these are True God-level pills!’
Gazing at the pills before him, the Patriarch drew a sharp breath, his face full of shock.
The pills contained within these three jade vials were all Divine Pills of the True God level!
‘I originally thought him to be a Void God-level alchemist, astonishing enough. I never imagined I had underestimated him—he is actually a True God-level alchemist.
In our Sixth Void, the number of Void God-level Divine Pill Masters is actually not insignificant. However, True God-level Divine Pill Masters are few and far between.
I never would have thought... our Liu Family has actually encountered a True God-level Divine Pill Master. This is a tremendous opportunity for our family!’
Overcome by shock and excitement, the Patriarch couldn’t help but exclaim.
‘A True God-level Divine Pill Master—the pills he refines should also be useful to me. I will now provide you with a few pill recipes. Go to him immediately and beseech him to refine pills for me.
If he can refine these specific pills I require, it would be highly beneficial for my injuries. If I can recover from my wounds, then the strength of our Liu Family could be elevated by a whole grade.’
At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded within the small temple.
‘Very well. I will go to him immediately and request his aid in refining pills for you,’ the Patriarch promptly stood up and said.
‘Wait. You should first take and swallow the pills he refined for you. They will undoubtedly help enhance your strength.
The situation our Liu Family faces now is far from favorable. You are currently our family’s strongest combatant. The stronger your power, the better.’
That voice spoke again.
‘Alright then. I will take these pills immediately.’
The Patriarch sat back down and began refining and consuming the True God-level Divine Pills Ye Yunfei had given him.
