A little over half a day later, Ye Yunfei returned to Yuanyue City.
Ye Yunfei first headed to Lingzhen Pavilion in the western part of the city.
He had obtained the Seven Divinities Flower and urgently needed to purchase a batch of spirit medicines to refine the True Soul Condensing Divine Pill.
The True Soul Condensing Divine Pill was a precious and rare spirit pill specifically used to enhance Soul Power.
Consuming the True Soul Condensing Divine Pill could, at the very least, multiply Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power by a hundred times!
Growing stronger rapidly was what Ye Yunfei craved most right now.
Having once been a Heavenly Emperor, his current strength was pathetically weak.
In this lifetime, Ye Yunfei wished to ascend to the pinnacle of the martial path once again as swiftly as possible!
As for other matters, they weren't that important to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, the Mistress has been looking for you. I've already been to the Ye Manor several times!"
The moment Ye Yunfei arrived at the entrance of Lingzhen Pavilion, a shop assistant greeted him with pleasant surprise.
"Please, come in quickly!"
The shop assistant respectfully ushered Ye Yunfei into a small meeting room behind the main hall on the first floor, then hurried off to summon Xiao Chuchu.
"Young Master Ye, you've finally returned!"
Soon, Xiao Chuchu came to see Ye Yunfei.
"Miss Xiao, I assume you sought me out concerning your illness. Rest assured, I said I would help you heal, and I will keep my word without fail. However, I won't have time until after the Four-Clan Mine Seizing Competition concludes," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Ye, I have another patient whom I'd like you to examine, if you'd agree," Xiao Chuchu said to Ye Yunfei.
"Another patient?"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Yes. Young Master Ye Yunfei, please rest assured, I won't have you act for free. I will pay you a satisfactory fee. It's just that I'm truly out of options. I've summoned all the doctors from the entirety of Yuanyue City, even from several major cities nearby, and not a single one could diagnose him. That's why I hoped you might give it a try."
"Very well, then."
Ye Yunfei nodded. He had a favorable impression of Xiao Chuchu, and helping examine a patient was merely a trifling effort, so he didn't refuse.
"Excellent! Young Master Ye Yunfei, please come quickly!"
Xiao Chuchu was overjoyed.
She led Ye Yunfei to a room on the second floor of Lingzhen Pavilion.
Inside the room was a bed.
On the bed lay an unconscious young man of about twenty, dressed in yellow robes, unmoving.
Inside the room was also a green-robed elder with an extremely anxious expression.
"This elder's strength… he's actually at the Heaven Realm," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but glance at the green-robed elder.
In the Great Qin Empire, strength at the Heaven Realm was already considered a rarity, belonging to the ranks of rare experts.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, Brother Wang has been unconscious for several days, and his life force is weakening by the day. Yet, despite inviting so many doctors, not a single one could figure out what was wrong with Brother Wang," Xiao Chuchu explained to Ye Yunfei.
"Let me take a look."
Ye Yunfei walked over.
"Miss Xiao, who is this?"
The green-robed elder moved swiftly, blocking Ye Yunfei's path.
"Elder Nie, please rest assured, Ye Yunfei is the one I invited to examine Brother Wang. He won't harm Brother Wang, please believe me," Xiao Chuchu quickly said.
The green-robed elder gave Ye Yunfei a deep look, seemingly filled with warning, before stepping aside.
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly, paying it no mind.
What of a Heaven Realm Expert? Ye Yunfei had once been a Heavenly Emperor; a mere Heaven Realm Expert was hardly worth mentioning.
Ye Yunfei believed that before long, even tying his shoes would be a task beyond the reach of a Heaven Realm Expert.
"He's been poisoned. It's a relatively rare poison called 'Empty Sky Centipede Saliva.' This poison is colorless and odorless. Once contracted, it lies dormant deep within the meridians, unknowingly damaging the poisoned person's body. This Brother Wang has been poisoned for at least seven days now. If the poison isn't neutralized soon, he'll die in at most three days," Ye Yunfei said after feeling the yellow-robed youth's pulse and lifting his eyelids. He already had the situation grasped.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei, are you telling the truth? Can you neutralize the poison?"
Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
After all, none of the doctors she had summoned these past few days could tell what was wrong with this yellow-robed youth's body. Who could have imagined Ye Yunfei would spot it at a glance?
"Of course I can neutralize it," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"That's wonderful! Please act, Young Master Ye Yunfei, and help Brother Wang detoxify!"
Xiao Chuchu was ecstatic.
The green-robed elder was also overjoyed, his gaze toward Ye Yunfei turning kinder.
"This is simple. I'll prescribe a medicine formula for you; just gather the medicines according to it. Consume three consecutive doses, and he'll be fine," Ye Yunfei said with a nod.
Xiao Chuchu immediately instructed the shop assistant to bring paper and brush.
Ye Yunfei picked up the brush and wrote down a prescription, handing it to Xiao Chuchu.
"Young man, thank you," the green-robed elder also said to Ye Yunfei.
"Miss Xiao, I currently need to purchase a batch of spirit medicines, but I temporarily don't have many Spirit Crystals on hand. May I defer payment for now?" Ye Yunfei looked at Xiao Chuchu and asked.
"Young Master Ye, don't worry. The sales of Minor Sixth-Grade Nurturing Pill have fully rolled out across the entire Great Qin Empire. It's even on the market synchronously in several nearby empires. Sales are excellent. My rough estimate suggests Lingzhen Pavilion owes you annual sales commissions of about three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals. Therefore, from now on, you may defer payment at Lingzhen Pavilion for purchases up to three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals per year."
Xiao Chuchu said with a smile.
"That's good."
Ye Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Xiao Chuchu had the shop assistant lead Ye Yunfei to the main hall to purchase spirit medicines.
Ye Yunfei purchased spirit medicines worth over one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in one go.
"The Four-Clan Mine Seizing Competition is about to begin."
Leaving Lingzhen Pavilion, Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards the northern part of Yuanyue City.
The location of the Four-Clan Mine Seizing Competition was in a large plaza outside the city's North Gate.
At the same time.
Within the Great Qin Empire.
At the headquarters of the Yinfeng Mercenary Corps.
"What! The Yin Wind Six Ghosts are all dead! How is that possible! This time, their mission was to pursue and kill a Body Tempering Sixth Level brat in the Heavenly Beast Forest. There should have been zero risk! How could they all die? What exactly happened!"
A black-robed elder slammed the table in fury.
"Corps Leader, we investigated the Heavenly Beast Forest. That kid named Ye Yunfei's strength increased dramatically after cultivating there for a few days. He not only killed the Yin Wind Six Ghosts but also killed many others. Moreover, a Seven Divinities Flower appeared in the Heavenly Beast Forest. Ye Yunfei snatched it."
A black-robed man spoke up.
"Seven Divinities Flower!"
The black-robed elder's eyes lit up.
"The Yin Wind Six Ghosts were prized disciples I nurtured for many years. Who would have thought they'd die at the hands of trash at the Body Tempering Sixth Level. That grudge must be avenged. The Qin Family, Shi Family, and Lu Family of Yuanyue City paid heavily to hire our Yinfeng Mercenary Corps to help surround and kill the Ye Family. Good, muster the troops! We're heading to Yuanyue City!"
The black-robed elder let out a cold laugh as he spoke.
