Chapter 2210: Give a Plum in Return for a Peach

Green'er burrowed into Ye Yuan's arms, shaking her head and sobbing, "Green'er doesn't suffer; it's the young master who has suffered!"

How could she not understand? That Ye Yuan had ended up like this meant he must have gone through an earth-shattering battle in the Black Flame Cave.

The young master was all alone!

Who could understand what he endured at that time?

Ye Yuan sighed again and said, "It's a pity I didn't bring Li'er back."

At this moment, Ye Yuan had stepped into the mid Ancestor Realm, his soul revived and even stronger than before.

He had fully recalled everything that happened in the Black Flame Cave.

He and Yuan Jiu had fought a life-and-death battle, triggering a massive spacetime black hole.

Yuan Jiu was severely wounded, and he too was gravely injured, on the verge of death.

Ye Yuan could feel that the power infused into the divine stele on his body had completely dissipated.

It seemed that at the critical moment, the golden dragon on him had saved him.

But... Li'er probably couldn't come back!

Ye Yuan's heart was filled with grief. He didn't know what kind of world lay beyond the abyss, but bringing Green'er back from there would be harder than reaching the heavens.

Not to mention the immense power of the abyssal beasts, the strength of the Divine Race was even above theirs.

Ye Yuan's power alone was far too insignificant.

"Young master, Sister Li'er will definitely be fine!" Green'er suddenly stopped crying and said firmly.

Ye Yuan wiped away her tears, his gaze more resolute than ever, and said, "Yes, she'll be fine! Even if I have to shatter the heavens, I will bring her back! I think she is waiting for me too!"

This was his solemn vow to Li'er across the void!

"Hey! Have you two finished chatting? If you're done, let me out!" Lin Changqing shouted from within the formation.

The two had been chattering for ages, completely ignoring him.

And this formation was like an iron cage; he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

Ye Yuan finally remembered Lin Changqing, so he waved his hand and dispelled the formation.

Lin Changqing came before Ye Yuan, looking as if he'd seen a ghost, and said irritably, "You're really disgusting. Even after becoming a waste, you're still this formidable!"

Lin Changqing was truly shocked. In such a state, Ye Yuan had still managed to push him to the brink.

Such a thing was utterly inconceivable!

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Lin Changqing, I really have to thank you this time! Without you, I don't know when I would have recovered my memory!"

This time, it was indeed thanks to Lin Changqing; otherwise, it might have taken him much longer to integrate everything he had learned over the years.

Lin Changqing rolled his eyes and said, "Don't give me that. I didn't do it for you! But speaking of which, what exactly did you experience in that Black Flame Cave to end up like this? And where is Junior Sister Mengli?"

Although he knew the chances of Yue Mengli returning were slim, he still couldn't help asking Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan sighed and briefly recounted what had happened back then.

Of course, he omitted the part about taking Yuan Jiu into the Chaos World to fight.

Such a matter was too earth-shattering; he didn't want others to know.

A Third Heaven Celestial Lord fighting a life-and-death battle with an Eighth Heaven Heavenly Emperor in his own small world, and even knocking the opponent down an entire major realm.

If such news got out, who knew what kind of storm it would stir up.

But even so, it was still shocking enough.

Ye Yuan alone had faced the Divine Race and the abyssal beast army, annihilating all abyssal beasts below the late Celestial Lord realm.

Such a feat could only be described as monstrous!

Lin Changqing had been inside the Black Flame Cave and knew how powerful those abyssal demons were.

Even after fusing three types of law power, he could at most fight to a draw with an abyssal demon of the same rank.

Yet Ye Yuan, with his own strength, had slaughtered so many abyssal demons whose cultivation levels were higher than his!

And on top of that, he had escaped.

Even with his eyes closed, he could imagine how brutal the battle had been.

Anyone else would have died in there, even with a thousand lives.

Bang!

Lin Changqing suddenly punched Ye Yuan hard in the chest and said angrily, "Kid, I'll forgive you this time! But once you're strong enough, you must bring Junior Sister Mengli back! Otherwise, I'll never let you off!"

Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance and said flatly, "That's not for you to say."

Lin Changqing was furious, but thinking of Ye Yuan's mysterious formations, he had no choice but to hold back.

In truth, Ye Yuan understood the sentiment behind Lin Changqing's words and felt a warmth in his heart.

Regardless, the guy's concern for Li'er was genuine.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied Lü'er in searching for her all these years.

Do you have any seventh-rank spiritual herbs on you?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.

Lin Changqing was taken aback. "Yes, why?"

Ye Yuan said, "Take them all out. Let me have a look."

With a strange expression, Lin Changqing took out all his seventh-rank spiritual herbs and asked curiously, "What are you up to?"

Ye Yuan glanced at the herbs and nodded. "As expected of someone from the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field—you have quite a substantial collection. Since I've managed to integrate and recover my memories thanks to your great favor, I'll refine a few pills for you to repay the debt."

Lin Changqing's eyes went wide with disbelief. "You... you're going to use formations to refine a seventh-rank divine pill?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Just watch."

Ye Yuan moved swiftly, striking out divine essence stones one after another to set up a formation.

Lin Changqing's heart pounded. He knew about alchemy via formations, but he had never heard of anyone using formations to refine a seventh-rank divine pill.

The higher the rank of a pill, the more unimaginably complex it was.

Moreover, formation alchemy involved factors a hundred or a thousand times more complicated than direct alchemy.

Many seven-star divine alchemists hadn't even mastered ordinary alchemy, let alone had the skill to refine seventh-rank divine pills with formations.

What had this guy gone through over the years?

One formation after another interlocked, growing increasingly complex and vast.

In the end, the formation occupied most of the village!

Such a massive and intricate formation was headache-inducing just to look at, let alone to set up.

Ye Yuan placed the seventh-rank spiritual herbs at the center of the formation, casually tossed out a divine essence stone, and shouted softly, "Formation, rise!"

The tossed stone struck one of the formation's divine essence stones, and like a domino effect, the entire formation lit up.

Boom!

Terrifying spiritual energy instantly converged from all directions, forming a massive storm of spiritual energy.

Then, the grand formation produced a wondrous scene.

Within the formation, sun, moon, and stars revolved endlessly, as if creating a world.

In all his years, Lin Changqing had never seen such a miraculous alchemy technique. His mouth hung wide open, unable to close for a long time.

After who knows how long, the formation ceased, and a single pill floated quietly in the air, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Lin Changqing shuddered and said in disbelief, "This... this is the Resting Spirit Divine Pill! The Resting Spirit Ascending Spirit Pill!"
