"Young Master, you've emerged from seclusion!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei, the Family Head of the Liu Family and the other higher-ups were overjoyed and hurried forward to greet him.
"Young Master, you have truly done our Liu Family a great service this time! The Divine Pills you refined for our Deities are incredibly useful!
During this period, a large batch of our Deities have continuously broken through. Our overall strength has at least doubled.
Young Master, you are a benefactor to our Liu Family."
The Family Head promptly spoke, expressing his gratitude.
"Family Head Liu, there's no need for such formalities. We are on the same side now. We share a common enemy, the Guardian Faction. Of course, I hope your Liu Family becomes stronger."
Ye Yunfei replied plainly.
"Regardless, Young Master, by helping our Liu Family improve our strength, you have shown us great kindness. This is something our Liu Family will never forget."
The Family Head said again.
"I plan to make a trip to the headquarters of the Earth Demon Clan," Ye Yunfei announced.
"Young Master Ye, are you intending to help the Earth Demon Clan deal with the Guardian Faction?"
The Family Head asked.
"Yes. The Guardian Faction and I are mortal enemies, locked in a life-and-death struggle. An enemy of the Guardian Faction is my friend, so of course I will go to help the Earth Demon Clan."
Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
"Young Master, please wait a moment. I will report this matter to the Patriarch, then dispatch our Liu Family's forces to accompany you in aiding the Earth Demon Clan."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Family Head no longer hesitated and spoke immediately.
"Would the Young Master care to come inside for a meeting?"
Right at that moment, a voice rang out from deep within the Liu Family headquarters. It was precisely the voice of the Liu Family Patriarch.
"Young Master, the Patriarch is speaking to you," the Family Head said promptly.
Ye Yunfei nodded, and without hesitation, took a single step forward, walking towards the depths of the Liu Family headquarters.
Possessing True God-level physical strength, even without employing any movement technique, with just an ordinary, casual step, his speed was astonishing. In an instant, he arrived before a small temple deep within the Liu Family headquarters. The Patriarch's voice was emanating from within this temple.
"Please come in, Young Master."
A voice invited from within. Ye Yunfei walked straight into the small temple.
As Ye Yunfei had expected, inside this small temple was a Small World.
Ye Yunfei arrived in a stretch of plains. In this plain, two elderly men sat facing each other, a stone table between them upon which sat exquisite tea utensils. The two old men were drinking tea.
One of them was indeed the Patriarch of the Liu Family. The other had grey hair all over his head, and his aura seemed somewhat frail.
"Young Master, please have a seat."
Seeing Ye Yunfei arrive, both elders were extremely warm. They immediately stood up.
"It seems you are also from the Liu Family, Senior."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the other grey-haired elder and perceived the energy aura within him. Discovering that his energy aura was identical to that of the other Liu Family members, he then spoke.
"You are correct, Young Master. I am also from the Liu Family.
However, I suffered a severe injury back in the day and have been hiding in this small temple ever since.
For many years, I haven't stepped foot outside of this place. Even within our Liu Family, not many know of my existence.
The Young Master is the first person to see me in many, many years."
That elder personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Yunfei, then said with a smile.
"So, Senior, you called me here hoping I could concoct pills to heal your injury?"
Ye Yunfei listened to this elder's words and, having perceived his physical condition—confirming that he indeed bore injuries—understood why these two elders had summoned him here.
"You've guessed correctly, Young Master. The reason we two old fogies called you here is precisely to beg the Young Master to help refine some healing pills for me.
Of course, I wouldn't ask the Young Master to concoct pills for me without offering anything in return. I am willing to pay."
That elder quickly said.
"Your injuries are rather severe and have been neglected for a very long time. I can attempt to refine some healing pills for you.
Since you are a member of the Liu Family, I can concoct the pills for you without charge.
However, it would be best if you could provide the required medicinal herbs."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then spoke.
He had already helped so many from the Liu Family concoct pills; one more wouldn't make a difference. Moreover, this elder was also a True God. If his injuries could be healed and his strength restored, that would mean one more True God-level ally.
"Thank you, Young Master!
Young Master, please rest assured. Over these years, in order to heal my injuries, I mobilized the Liu Family's resources to collect many True God-Level Medicinal Herbs. I will now fetch all of those herbs and give them to you."
Hearing that Ye Yunfei agreed to concoct the pills, that elder couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately took out three spatial rings and sent them floating before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power probed inside and discovered they indeed contained nothing but True God-Level Medicinal Herbs, along with some relatively rare natural treasures.
"You need not thank me. As I said before, an enemy of my enemy is my friend. My enemy is the Guardian Faction, and your Liu Family's enemy is also the Guardian Faction. Therefore, I am refining pills for my own side. It is entirely normal."
Ye Yunfei stated.
"It seems this Young Master shares a deep-seated grudge with the Guardian Faction. Otherwise, he wouldn't target them so specifically.
The Guardian Faction is too arrogant, offending such a monstrously talented young man.
Just wait and see. I have a premonition that this young man will cause the Guardian Faction heavy losses."
The Patriarch of the Liu Family sent a sound transmission to the other elder.
"There's no time to lose. I'll start concocting the pills for you right now," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master, I have here two ancient pill formulas that I collected previously. Both are True God-level formulas specifically designed for healing.
I have also collected all the herbs required by these two formulas. Young Master, if it's convenient, please help me refine the pills according to these two formulas."
That elder waved his hand, took out a jade slip, and sent it floating before Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"Very well. I'll study them. If I am capable of refining them, then I'll help you."
Ye Yunfei accepted the jade slip, nodded, then turned and stepped forward, departing from this small temple.
Shortly after, Ye Yunfei returned to his previous cultivation cave, set up a small spatial Formation, then entered the Phantom Tower to begin refining pills.
Ye Yunfei first carefully studied the two pill formulas the elder had given him.
"I should be able to refine both of these types of pills," Ye Yunfei stated.
Then, Ye Yunfei took out a pill furnace, brought out all his different kinds of flame and suspended them around his body, then took out a large batch of True God-Level Medicinal Herbs and began the alchemy process.
"I wonder if that Young Master can help me refine the pills from those two formulas?
I worked hard to collect those two formulas. They would be of great benefit to my current injuries."
Within the small temple deep in the Liu Family headquarters, that elder appeared quite anxious as he spoke.
"I think you need not worry. That Young Master is a Divine Pill Master. I believe he should be able to refine the pills from the two formulas you provided.
Previously, the True God-level pills he refined for me were of excellent quality and very effective, allowing my strength to improve by a significant margin. Therefore, I have great confidence in that Young Master's alchemy skill."
The Liu Family Patriarch comforted him.
Inside the Phantom Tower, time unknowingly passed, and over half a year went by.
After more than half a year, Ye Yunfei ceased refining pills, walked out of the Phantom Tower, and within a few steps arrived deep within the Liu Family headquarters, descending before that small temple once more.
"He has returned so soon!
Could it be… he has already finished refining the pills?"
The two elders inside the small temple immediately sensed Ye Yunfei's presence and their spirits lifted. Then, Ye Yunfei walked in.
"Young Master, have you finished refining the pills?"
That elder quickly asked.
Because of the time difference between the inside of the Phantom Tower and the outside world, although Ye Yunfei had spent over half a year within the Phantom Tower, only a short time had passed in the external world.
"Correct, I have finished refining them."
Ye Yunfei extended his palm. Three jade bottles appeared before that elder.
"Young Master, have you refined the pills from the two formulas I gave you?"
That elder sent his Soul Power into the three bottles and immediately revealed an expression of immense excitement.
Because he discovered that two of the bottles contained precisely the pills he had asked Ye Yunfei to refine, while the third contained several very high-grade healing pills as well.
"These three bottles of pills should be quite useful to you. After ingesting them, your injuries should show some improvement," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master, you are right. I can sense it already. These three bottles of healing pills are very useful to me. Just the fragrance they emit makes me feel incredibly comfortable."
That elder carefully held the three jade bottles, his face filled with an excited expression.
"Young Master, we are truly too grateful to you. Earlier, you refined Divine Pills for our Liu Family's Deities, allowing over two-thirds of our Deities to advance a minor realm.
Now, you have helped us refine these healing pills as well. You are truly a benefactor to our Liu Family!"
The Liu Family Patriarch expressed his gratitude.
"There is no need for formalities. Now, the Earth Demon Clan is in trouble. I intend to make a trip to their headquarters," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Young Master, you are going to the Earth Demon Clan?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, both elders were somewhat surprised.
"Yes. The Earth Demon Clan's current situation is not good. I want to go and see.
The Earth Demon Clan possesses considerable strength. It would be a great pity if they were wiped out by the Guardian Faction."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
