One day later, in the headquarters of the Liu Family, dark clouds gathered densely over a certain area. Clearly, someone had begun to undergo Lightning Tribulation.
"I'm finally about to break through!"
"I've been stuck at the Intermediate Void God level for so long and couldn't advance. After taking the pill Young Master refined for me, I'm finally about to break through!"
A Middle Stage Void God stood excitedly beneath the roiling tribulation clouds before he began to undergo his tribulation.
After enduring a bout of Lightning Tribulation, this Liu Family Middle Stage Void God became a High Stage Void God.
Not long after this Liu Family Deity finished his tribulation, black and oppressive tribulation clouds began to gather again in another part of the Liu Family headquarters.
A Deity of the Liu Family rushed out from his secluded cultivation chamber and stood beneath the overwhelming thunder and lightning to begin his Lightning Tribulation.
Before this Deity's tribulation had even ended, more roiling tribulation clouds began to gather in yet another location of the Liu Family headquarters.
Following this, scenes of five or six Deities undergoing tribulation simultaneously actually appeared within the Liu Family headquarters.
"Our Liu Family actually has this many Deities undergoing tribulation!"
All members of the Liu Family were both shocked and excited. After all, every breakthrough in cultivation realm for a Deity meant the family's strength increased a little more.
As time passed, more and more Liu Family Deities began to break through.
Dense, black tribulation clouds could be seen everywhere in the Liu Family headquarters. Thunderbolts, densely packed, fell from the high sky one after another, the sound of thunder echoing throughout the entire headquarters.
"Look! Our Liu Family actually has twelve Deities undergoing tribulation at the same time!"
"It's a miracle! This is a scene our Liu Family has never seen before!"
"Look, Elder Liu Jie has already become a Perfected Void God. Elder Liu Feng has become a Perfected Void God too."
"In less than a day, our Liu Family has gained five new Perfected Void Gods!"
...
Within the Liu Family headquarters, countless members gathered around to watch those Deities undergoing their tribulations, excitedly discussing the scene.
"The changes that a True God-level Divine Pill Master has brought to our Liu Family are truly immense."
In the small temple deep within the Liu Family headquarters, the Liu Family Patriarch was in the process of swallowing the pills Ye Yunfei had refined for him. However, he also kept part of his attention on the various occurrences within the family's grounds. Witnessing so many Liu Family Deities continuously undergoing tribulations and making breakthroughs, the Patriarch could not help but exclaim excitedly.
"Indeed, a True God-level Divine Pill Master is truly formidable. In just these past few short days, the overall strength of our Liu Family has already increased significantly."
"Up to this point, our Liu Family has already gained fifteen new Perfected Void Gods. And I believe it's not over yet. There will definitely be even more Perfected Void Gods to come."
"That Young Master truly is a great benefactor to our Liu Family!"
"He not only fought off the three True Gods from the Guardian Faction for us but also helped to enhance the overall strength of our Liu Family."
Another voice within the small temple also could not hold back its own exclamation.
"The chance for our Liu Family to form ties with a True God-Level Alchemist is our family's good fortune. We must make great efforts to maintain a good relationship with this Young Master at all costs."
"If possible, we should consider marrying some of the young, beautiful, and exceptionally talented females of our family to him. This would securely tie him to our Liu Family ship."
"A True God-Level Alchemist is sure to elevate our Liu Family to the next level."
That voice spoke again.
"Your suggestion is excellent."
"I shall immediately order the Family Head to select the most outstanding young female among our Liu Family's junior generation. I will personally take charge of negotiating the marriage with the Young Master."
The Liu Family Patriarch nodded, expressing his agreement. Naturally, he understood how significant the role of a True God-level Divine Pill Master was for a family's development.
At this time, Ye Yunfei was still in his own cultivation chamber undergoing secluded cultivation. Not long ago, when refining pills for the Liu Family Patriarch, Ye Yunfei also refined a batch of True God-level Divine Pills for himself. Now was a perfect time to take the opportunity to swallow and refine them.
Ye Yunfei did not know that the two old fogies of the Liu Family were already preparing to designate him as their family's matrimonial candidate of the dragon's speed.
"It seems the quality of those pills you refined is truly exceptional. The Deities of the Liu Family have been continuously breaking through this whole time."
Hun Lao, sensing the sight of numerous Liu Family Deities undergoing tribulation together within the headquarters, could not help but say with a smile.
"Of course! My master is a True God-level Divine Pill Master. Getting those Void Gods to break through is a piece of cake for him."
Hu Miao, feeling a surge of pride, chimed in. Ever since meeting Ye Yunfei, she had willingly followed by his side. Even now, she still addressed him as 'master' without fail. In truth, how could Ye Yunfei consider her merely a servant now? To him, Hu Miao was already one of the people he cared about most.
"The capacity of a True God-level Divine Pill Master is immensely significant. It's nothing remarkable for one to make some Void Gods break through their realms."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also opened his mouth to speak.
"Please refine more pills for me as soon as possible. It's about time my own strength broke through too."
Once again, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
"Don't worry, I've already refined a batch of pills for all of you beforehand. Now, you can all enter secluded cultivation to strive for an increase in strength."
Ye Yunfei immediately took out a large number of Divine Pills.
Each of these Divine Pills was refined specifically to target the cultivation characteristics of Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and a few others.
"Great. I shall immediately commence secluded cultivation to see if I can achieve a bloodline breakthrough."
After receiving his portion of pills, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately chose to enter secluded cultivation. Of course, he understood just how precious pills refined by a True God-level Divine Pill Master were.
Following that, Hu Miao and Hun Lao also respectively chose to commence their own secluded cultivation sessions.
As for Huang Shang, he had been in a state of secluded cultivation all this while.
Ye Yunfei flicked his finger, sending a number of his newly refined pills to the space before Huang Shang.
He then gave Guan Zhong Liu Hao, Qin Xiaoyu, Lu Shi, and several others their respective batches of pills.
After distributing the pills, Ye Yunfei returned to his secluded cultivation session.
"Reporting to the Family Head, in these past few days, our Liu Family has gained thirty new Perfected Void Gods and over a hundred new High Stage Void Gods."
"After taking the pills Young Master refined for us, nearly two-thirds of our Liu Family Deities have successfully achieved a breakthrough."
"There are still some people currently in secluded cultivation and have not yet emerged, so their results are still unknown."
As soon as the Liu Family Head stepped out from his cultivation cave dwelling, two excited-looking elders rushed over. One of them could not wait to report the news.
"What? Our Liu Family has gained thirty Perfected Void Gods and a hundred High Stage Void Gods? Is this truly real?"
After receiving the pills Ye Yunfei had refined for him, the Family Head had immediately entered his cultivation cave to commence secluded cultivation. Moreover, his goal had been to attempt a breakthrough to the True God realm, which required intense concentration. Therefore, he had no knowledge of what had transpired in the Liu Family headquarters during this period.
Hearing the elder's words now, he was immediately frozen in place, unable to believe them and suspecting he had misheard.
"Family Head, this is of course real."
"I myself also made a breakthrough. Look, I am now a Perfected Void God."
One of the elders immediately released his energy as he spoke excitedly.
"Indeed... Not long ago, you were still only a High Stage Void God, yet now you've become a Perfected Void God."
Staring at the elder before him, the Family Head began to grow excited.
Next, more and more Deities who had achieved breakthroughs during this period began to gather around the Family Head.
"Hahaha! Good, this is excellent!"
"In just a few days, the overall strength of our Liu Family has at least doubled!"
The Family Head could not hold back his laughter.
"Family Head, all of this is thanks to that Young Master. The pills that Young Master refined for us are truly too effective!"
"After swallowing them, it took me less than two days to break through my realm's bottleneck and become a Perfected Void God."
An elder standing beside him spoke up.
"Indeed, it is all that Young Master's achievement. He is a great benefactor to our Liu Family!"
The Family Head was extremely moved, so much so that he could not keep his mouth from grinning wide. The sight of the Liu Family's overall strength improving so drastically made him both astonished and overjoyed.
"By the way, where is that Young Master?"
The Family Head asked.
"The Young Master is currently undergoing secluded cultivation."
An elder standing nearby immediately replied.
"Then we shall not disturb him for the moment. When the Young Master emerges, report to me at once. I must thank him properly in person!"
The Family Head said.
"Another question. How has the Guardian Faction been acting these past few days? Are there any unusual movements?"
The Family Head then turned and asked another elder. This elder was in charge of managing the Liu Family's intelligence unit.
"Family Head, the Guardian Faction seems to have had no abnormal movements these past few days. It's possible they are currently concentrating their forces to deal with the Earth Demon Clan. That's why they've temporarily not dispatched any troops to target our Liu Family."
That elder answered.
"How is the situation with the Earth Demon Clan?"
Upon hearing this, the Family Head couldn't help but feel a stir of thought and asked.
"The Earth Demon Clan's situation is not optimistic. It's quite similar to our Liu Family's own recent situation."
"Many of their sub-branches have already been annihilated, and their headquarters is completely surrounded by the main force of the Guardian Faction. It is estimated that decisive battle will soon begin."
That elder immediately reported what he knew.
"Also, the Earth Demon Clan has sent people requesting assistance from our Liu Family. However, I have not yet responded and was about to report this matter to you."
That elder added.
"Family Head, if our Liu Family sends people to assist the Earth Demon Clan, we will undoubtedly incur the Guardian Faction's frenzied retaliation."
Another elder standing nearby voiced his concern.
"But even if we do not help the Earth Demon Clan, would the Guardian Faction spare our Liu Family?"
"Once the Earth Demon Clan is annihilated, I'm afraid the Guardian Faction will quickly concentrate its forces solely on dealing with our Liu Family."
"In conclusion, regardless of whether we help the Earth Demon Clan or not, the Guardian Faction is sure to take action against our Liu Family."
Immediately, another elder voiced his opinion.
"Indeed, if our Liu Family allied with the Earth Demon Clan, we might just be able to resist the Guardian Faction."
"The Guardian Faction is definitely not going to let our Liu Family off. Therefore, there's no need for our Liu Family to be courteous towards them either. Rather than conceding on every point, it would be better for us to attack proactively."
"Our Liu Family was once a great clan that shook the entire Primordial Void Sea back in ancient times. We cannot just allow ourselves to be intimidated by the Guardian Faction."
Yet another person expressed agreement.
"I also think this logic holds true. The Guardian Faction will absolutely not choose to let your Liu Family off because you back down. Since that's the case, there's no need for your Liu Family to hold back or act indecisively."
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei appeared before these high-level members of the Liu Family, his hands clasped behind his back, and calmly voiced his opinion.
