Ye Yunfei summoned Huang Shang and Dan Jun to help him refine pills.
Huang Shang could now initially refine first-grade Dao Pills.
Dan Jun's alchemy skills had improved rapidly under Ye Yunfei's guidance. He was now capable of refining ninth-grade Treasure Pills!
In fact, Dan Jun's alchemical talent was far more brilliant than Huang Shang's! However, Huang Shang had been by Ye Yunfei's side for a longer time, so his alchemy level was temporarily superior. In the future, Dan Jun's achievements in alchemy would undoubtedly surpass Huang Shang's.
Ye Yunfei also had the intention to cultivate Dan Jun so that in the future, many pills could be refined with his help, relieving Ye Yunfei from having to handle everything personally.
During this trip to the Guyao Realm, Ye Yunfei had looted almost every major city in both the Demon Domain and the Guyao Realm. The several hundred spatial rings the Ancient Demon Race elders had offered to the lord of the Ancestral Realm had also all fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands.
The harvest was staggeringly rich!
It was no exaggeration to say that one-third of the Ancient Demon Race's wealth was now in Ye Yunfei's possession! Though the Ancient Demon Race was only a second-rate force, it had always been known for its wealth. One could imagine how astonishing the amount of wealth Ye Yunfei now possessed.
Among it, the quantity of pills was countless. Dao Medicines alone filled over ten thousand spatial rings. Of course, most of these were first to fourth-grade Dao Medicines. There were also some fifth-grade Dao Medicines. There were even a small number of sixth-grade Dao Medicines!
As for the quantity of Treasure Medicines and Spirit Medicines, it was simply beyond calculation!
Therefore, Ye Yunfei was currently in no shortage of medicinal herbs.
Inside the Phantom Tower, over roughly two months, a large quantity of pills were refined. Bottle after bottle of pills piled up like small mountains, an immense number.
"That should be about enough," Ye Yunfei stopped refining.
Then, Ye Yunfei left the Phantom Tower and brought all those he had rescued—those from the Tianxuan Continent, the Tang Clan, and the people who voluntarily chose to stay and follow him—into the Phantom Tower. There were about fifty thousand people!
Then, Ye Yunfei started distributing the pills refined over these two months according to each individual's specific needs.
"Everyone, these pills can repair your dantians. Take the pills immediately and enter secluded cultivation for recuperation!" Ye Yunfei announced clearly.
Immediately, everyone became excited. These people had been captured into the Guyao Realm as slaves, their cultivation bases crippled, reduced to ordinary mortals. Being able to cultivate again and become martial artists once more was the deepest, greatest desire in their hearts!
Next, Ye Yunfei let these people stay within the Phantom Tower, taking the pills and entering seclusion for recuperation.
"The Divine Fall Land is about to open. It's time for me to go to the Heavenly Dao Academy," Ye Yunfei said to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei left the Phantom Tower and found Da Di Daozhang. During Ye Yunfei's trip to the Guyao Realm, Da Di Daozhang had been in secluded cultivation the entire time.
"Not bad. You're already at the late-stage Great Mystic Dan realm. Looks like you'll have a chance to break through to the Soul Formation realm soon. You've also cultivated the Great Radiance Divine Art to the third level," Ye Yunfei said with a smile, sensing the energy aura emanating from Da Di Daozhang.
"Can't compare to you. You can even kill Divine Forming realm experts now," Da Di Daozhang shook his head with a sigh.
"Let's go. We're heading back to the Heavenly Dao Academy," Ye Yunfei said.
Following that, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang left the underground cave complex and headed for the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
After most of a day, they arrived at the Heavenly Dao Academy. This time, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang strutted openly through the academy's main gate. With Ye Yunfei's current strength and trump cards, he could travel openly and without fear within the Northern Wastelands Domain!
"Look! It's Ye Yunfei and Du Fan! They're back!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang entered the Heavenly Dao Academy, they were recognized. One must know, Ye Yunfei had been quite a prominent figure within the academy. In particular, the story of how Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang had taken on and completed every single mission on the second floor of the Mission Hall was still circulating within the academy, talked about with relish by many students.
"I heard Ye Yunfei wreaked havoc in the Guyao Realm, scaring the Ancient Demon Race's higher-ups into collectively hiding within their Ancestral Temple, not daring to come out!"
"I heard he killed half of the Ancient Demon Race's Divine Forming realm experts!"
...
Very quickly, a large group of students gathered at a distance to watch Ye Yunfei, each looking at him with eyes full of awe and admiration. There was no helping it—in the martial world, the strong always garnered attention and focus. In fact, Ye Yunfei had already become an idol for many students!
"Senior Brother Ye is truly my idol! I must cultivate diligently, striving one day to be like Senior Brother Ye!" Many male students declared, gazing at Ye Yunfei.
"Senior Brother Ye is really so handsome!" Numerous female students stared at Ye Yunfei with infatuated gazes.
Thus, surrounded by many students, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang made their way deep into the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters.
"Dean Sima and the others are in the conference hall. Let's go directly to them," Once inside the academy, Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power and immediately located Dean Sima and Meng Qianzheng.
At the same time, within the conference hall of the Heavenly Dao Academy, Dean Sima, Meng Qianzheng, and a large group of academy higher-ups were present.
"Dean Sima, the Divine Fall Land will open in three days. This time, our Heavenly Dao Academy will send fifty elite students to explore the Divine Fall Land. The specific candidates have been roughly determined," a steward announced clearly.
"Good. Reserve two spots for Ye Yunfei and Du Fan," Dean Sima said.
"Dean Sima, I object. Ye Yunfei and Du Fan are no longer members of our Heavenly Dao Academy. Giving them two spots would be unfair to the other students," Zou Yi immediately spoke up.
"Who says Ye Yunfei and Du Fan are not members of our Heavenly Dao Academy? Were they ever expelled? I was unaware of that," Meng Qianzheng said loudly.
"Hmph! They haven't returned to the Heavenly Dao Academy at all, clearly not considering themselves part of our academy anymore. Why should our Heavenly Dao Academy still acknowledge them? Moreover, this time, Ye Yunfei's feud with the Ancient Demon Race runs so deep. I believe the Ancient Demon Race will definitely seek him out for revenge frantically from now on. Our Heavenly Dao Academy must draw a clear line with Ye Yunfei in time!" Zou Yi snorted coldly.
"Heh, old bastard Zou Yi, you're mistaken. The Ancient Demon Race currently doesn't have the courage to seek revenge against me," suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.
Then, Ye Yunfei, accompanied by Da Di Daozhang, strode in from outside the conference hall.
"Ye Yunfei!" All the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Academy were greatly shocked.
"Ye Yunfei! This is the conference hall, a crucial location of our Heavenly Dao Academy! What is your status and position? What right do you have to enter here?! Get out immediately!" Suddenly, Zou Yi roared.
