"By the way, Dean Ye, you mentioned previously that you needed high-grade swords. I gathered a few. Please take them.
Also, in the Academy's treasure vault, there seems to be a collection of rather good swords as well.
You should take a look when you have the time."
Xie Changkong said, waving his hand. A spatial ring flew before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei probed it with his Soul Power and found over a dozen long swords within. Their sword auras were cold and sharp, clearly of no ordinary grade.
"Many thanks, Dean Xie."
Ye Yunfei stowed the ring.
"Also, Dean Xie, does the Academy have any treasure medicines in its collection?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Treasure medicines? Dean Ye, do you need them?"
Xie Changkong was momentarily taken aback.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Our Academy's treasure vault does hold a batch of treasure medicines. Very well, later, I'll have Dean Shangguan take you to the vault. You can see for yourself if there's anything you need."
Xie Changkong said.
In his mind, Ye Yunfei was the successor of Hu Dao Shangren. Naturally, Hudao Academy's treasure vault should be open to him.
"That's fine. Dean Shangguan, please take me to see it now."
Ye Yunfei stood up.
"Alright."
Dean Shangguan nodded.
Thus, under Dean Shangguan's lead, Ye Yunfei arrived at the Academy's treasure vault.
Of course, the vault was located in a highly concealed location, guarded by layer upon layer of Formations and several ordinary elders with strength at the Mystic Liquid Realm.
Hudao Academy was one of the top powers in the Central Continent, with a heritage spanning several centuries. The collection within its treasure vault was naturally exceedingly rich.
All types of treasures were abundantly available.
In one of the medicinal storerooms, Ye Yunfei discovered a batch of treasure medicines.
However, most were only first-tier to third-tier treasure medicines.
Not a single fourth-tier treasure medicine was found.
Ye Yunfei selected some treasure medicines and also picked several dozen swords before leaving the vault.
"Dean Ye, as our Academy's Vice-Dean, you may freely choose any peak in the inner court as your residence.
I'll take you to choose one now."
After exiting the treasure vault, Dean Shangguan said.
"Very well."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Following Dean Shangguan, Ye Yunfei made a full circuit of the inner court and finally chose a relatively secluded peak as his dwelling.
"Alright, Dean Ye. From now on, this peak is your residence."
Dean Shangguan smiled.
Then, he turned and departed.
Ye Yunfei descended onto the peak.
Several palaces were constructed on this mountain.
"This palace will do."
Ye Yunfei walked into one of the palaces and said.
"Dean Shangguan's injuries can be healed by taking a few Nine-Turn Elixirs.
Good. First, I'll refine the Nine-Turn Elixirs."
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in the palace, taking out the treasure medicines he had obtained from the Academy vault.
He also brought out the Chaos Cauldron and placed it before him.
"The Nine-Turn Elixir has a yin-aligned property. Using the Three Nether Dark Flames to refine it is most suitable."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself and then began refining the Nine-Turn Elixirs.
Approximately two hours later.
"Pills, arise!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly gave a soft cry.
Five pale-white treasure pills shot out from within the Chaos Cauldron.
The Nine-Turn Elixir was a two-tier treasure pill, specifically for healing injuries with particularly good efficacy.
In truth, every formula Ye Yunfei had personally collected absolutely had outstanding effects.
"I'll refine a few more Heaven-Horn Origin Elixirs. Let's see if I can help Dean Shangguan and Dean Zhou break through in their cultivation."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei took out another batch of treasure medicines.
Within the Crystal Mine Minor World, apart from the numerous spirit crystal veins, there were also many spiritual herbs and treasure medicines.
Ye Yunfei had collected quite a lot.
From Hudao Academy's treasure vault, Ye Yunfei had also selected a batch of treasure medicines.
He just happened to have sufficient ingredients to refine the Heaven-Horn Origin Elixir.
Thus, next, Ye Yunfei refined four more Heaven-Horn Origin Elixirs.
The Heaven-Horn Origin Elixir was also a two-tier treasure pill!
After finishing the pill refinement, Ye Yunfei left the palace, mobilized his movement technique, and soared into the sky, arriving at Dean Shangguan's peak.
Hudao Academy's grounds were extremely vast, larger than the territory of an entire empire!
Every high-ranking member possessed their own peak.
"Dean Ye, do you need something?"
Dean Shangguan appeared, asking somewhat curiously.
"Dean Shangguan, take these five treasure pills.
After consuming them, your injuries will be completely healed."
Ye Yunfei took out five Nine-Turn Elixirs and handed them to Dean Shangguan.
"Two-tier treasure pills!"
Looking at the five Nine-Turn Elixirs, Dean Shangguan was utterly astonished.
Although he didn't recognize the Nine-Turn Elixir, he could tell these were all two-tier treasure pills.
"Also, these four treasure pills. You take two and give two to Dean Zhou. They will be very beneficial for your cultivation."
Ye Yunfei took out the four Heaven-Horn Origin Elixirs and handed them to Dean Shangguan.
"Dean Ye, where did you get so many two-tier treasure pills?!"
Staring at the pile of two-tier treasure pills, Dean Shangguan simply couldn't believe it.
"Dean Shangguan, let's not dwell on that for now.
Just take them."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Alright."
Dean Shangguan nodded mechanically, cradling a large handful of two-tier treasure pills, his face full of shock.
"I'll take my leave then."
Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique and shot into the air, returning to his own peak in mere moments.
"Good.
Now it's time to upgrade the Five Elements Spirit Swords."
Inside the palace, Ye Yunfei waved his hand. Dozens of long swords flew out simultaneously, hovering before him.
Some of these swords were given by Xie Changkong, while others were found by Ye Yunfei in the treasure vault.
They were all Desolate Artifacts!
The ranks of magical artifacts, from low to high, were Spirit Artifacts, True Artifacts, Desolate Artifacts, and Flood Artifacts.
"This upgrade should significantly increase the power of the Five Elements Spirit Swords."
Looking at the dozens of swords before him, Ye Yunfei muttered.
Then.
Ye Yunfei took out a refinement cauldron, flicked his finger, and the Earth Flame Fire flew from his fingertip, leaping into the cauldron.
Instantly, raging flames ignited within.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
Five spirit swords shot out from Ye Yunfei's body, flying into the cauldron.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and all dozens of swords also flew into the cauldron.
Next.
Ye Yunfei began carefully controlling the fire.
Half a day later.
On Dean Shangguan's peak.
Inside a palace, within a cultivation chamber.
*Rumble…*
A powerful wave of spiritual power erupted violently within the chamber.
"My injuries... they're completely healed!
My strength is fully restored!"
Standing in the chamber, feeling the smooth flow of spiritual power within his body like a great river, Dean Shangguan could hardly believe it.
Not long ago, when he went to assist Ye Yunfei, he was injured by four Grotto-Heaven Realm experts attacking together.
The injuries were quite severe.
He had originally thought it would take a long time of gradual recuperation to possibly recover.
He never expected that after taking the five treasure pills Ye Yunfei gave him, his injuries were cured on the spot!
"If that's the case, these two two-tier treasure pills should be greatly beneficial to my cultivation."
Dean Shangguan took out two Heaven-Horn Origin Elixirs and said to himself, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Thus, next, he consumed one Heaven-Horn Origin Elixir and began secluded cultivation.
