Chapter 2595: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay an Egg

"Stop!"

As soon as Ye Yuan reached Liuyun Peak, he was blocked by Han Qianyun.

The Place of Exile was an independent space, and each of the five great celestial sects had a teleportation array leading there.

The teleportation array of Wuding Celestial Sect was located at Liuyun Peak.

Seeing Han Qianyun, Ye Yuan frowned and said, "I want to enter the Place of Exile!"

Han Qianyun sneered, "Sorry, Elder Ye! The Place of Exile is under my master's jurisdiction. Without his order, no one is allowed to enter!"

Ye Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "You dare to block me?"

Han Qianyun said indifferently, "So what if I block you? If you want to enter, it's not impossible—just get the order from my master! Or, you can defeat me and walk over my body!"

Ye Yuan did not argue and turned to leave.

Han Qianyun watched Ye Yuan's retreating figure, feeling a surge of vengeful satisfaction.

After he left, a figure emerged—it was none other than Feng Xuanyi.

"You did well!" said Feng Xuanyi.

Han Qianyun quickly replied, "Rest assured, Sect Master, with me here, Ye Yuan will never break through!"

Feng Xuanyi nodded and said, "I am certainly at ease with you, but during this time, you must stay vigilant and not slack off in the slightest! Below the Wuji Celestial Position, he can easily break through!"

Han Qianyun said, "Yes, Sect Master!"

After that day, Feng Xuanyi took various measures to prevent Ye Yuan from entering the Place of Exile.

Knowing that Ye Yuan's methods were unpredictable, he even transferred Han Qianyun, a protector, to guard Liuyun Peak.

Of course, he used Shi Feiyu as a shield to reduce Ye Yuan's resentment.

After returning, Ye Yuan was surprisingly calm and did not come to argue with him.

For a day or two, Feng Xuanyi was naturally uneasy.

But after several months passed, with Ye Yuan only in seclusion or teaching celestial alchemists, Feng Xuanyi gradually relaxed.

However, Feng Xuanyi still had Han Qianyun on high alert to prevent Ye Yuan from sneaking in.

One day, Ye Yuan, as usual, instructed Wu Chengchao.

Wu Chengchao was, of course, extremely grateful.

"Elder Ye's alchemy skills grow deeper each day; I always benefit greatly!" Wu Chengchao exclaimed.

Over these years, it wasn't just them who had improved.

Wu Chengchao could clearly feel that Ye Yuan was also progressing!

And Ye Yuan's progress was unimaginably fast!

This was the most terrifying part!

The longer time went on, the more Wu Chengchao felt the terror of Ye Yuan's talent.

So much so that the standard of affinity had long been forgotten by him.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Your training in first-grade basic celestial pills is nearing perfection; you can begin training in second-grade basic celestial pills."

Wu Chengchao was overjoyed and said, "Really?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Would I lie to you? Come, let's go to your residence; I'll give you special training."

Wu Chengchao was ecstatic, without any doubt, and repeatedly agreed.

The two arrived at Tianshui Peak, where Wu Chengchao lived.

As a third-grade celestial alchemist protector, Wu Chengchao's residence naturally had a alchemy room.

Wu Chengchao looked excited and said, "Elder Ye, what do you have to teach me?"

Ye Yuan waved his hand casually, and a row of celestial herbs neatly landed on the table.

"First, refine all these celestial herbs," Ye Yuan said calmly.

Wu Chengchao looked at the celestial herbs in confusion and said, "Elder Ye, what celestial pill can these herbs refine? I've never heard of them!"

Ye Yuan said seriously, "This is an obscure second-grade basic celestial pill; you don't need to know its origin. Later, just follow my instructions to refine the pill! I want to see what problems you have in refining second-grade celestial pills."

Wu Chengchao suddenly understood and sincerely praised, "Elder Ye, brilliant!"

Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

But in his heart, Ye Yuan couldn't help finding it amusing.

In a moment, you won't call me brilliant!

Wu Chengchao followed the instructions, refined all the celestial herbs, and dumped them into the cauldron.

Start refining!

Ye Yuan spoke eloquently, issuing one instruction after another.

Wu Chengchao was like a remote-controlled robot, frantically operating according to Ye Yuan's commands.

If it were before, he would never have been able to complete these instructions.

But now, he could actually keep up with Ye Yuan!

This discovery made Wu Chengchao ecstatic.

"Elder Ye is indeed Elder Ye; my alchemy skills have improved so much! This is just from training in first-grade basic celestial pills; if I finish training in second- and third-grade basic celestial pills, I might be close to becoming a fourth-grade celestial alchemist!" Wu Chengchao thought to himself.

Over the past few years, Wu Chengchao was well aware of his own growth.

It could be said to be a qualitative leap!

Now, when he refined first-grade celestial pills, he could basically achieve grade seven or above!

When refining second-grade celestial pills, he could basically achieve grade five or above.

As for third-grade celestial pills, those he couldn't refine before, he could now refine.

Those he could refine before, their quality had greatly improved!

His current alchemy skills were definitely not inferior to Qin Shun's!

All of this was thanks to Ye Yuan!

Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Ye Yuan.

"If there's a chance in the future, I must repay Elder Ye!" Wu Chengchao resolved secretly.

But he didn't know that the chance to repay had already come.

Wu Chengchao's refining went very smoothly.

Soon, it was finished!

Wu Chengchao looked at Ye Yuan nervously and said, "Elder Ye, how was my refining this time?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Whether it's good or not, just open the cauldron and see."

Wu Chengchao nodded repeatedly, turned his palm, and opened the cauldron!

Boom!

A cloud of yellow smoke burst out.

Caught off guard, Wu Chengchao took a deep breath.

Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground, convulsing.

And Ye Yuan's figure had already disappeared.

Looking at the thick smoke on Tianshui Peak, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This enhanced version of 'Facing the Wind and Falling' is really potent! Zhong Jianchou probably never imagined that 'Facing the Wind and Falling' could become this strong, right? Hey, Sect Master, you miscalculated. Can mere Han Qianyun really stop me, Ye Yuan?"

After speaking, he dashed swiftly toward Liuyun Peak.

On Tianshui Peak, thick smoke billowed, almost covering the entire peak.

"What's going on? What the hell is Wu Chengchao refining...?" A protector on Tianshui Peak didn't finish his sentence before falling to the ground, convulsing.

Many protectors lived on Tianshui Peak.

However, after the smoke emerged, it condensed and did not disperse.

Those protectors were alarmed one by one, but as soon as they touched the smoke, they fell to the ground convulsing.

Soon, the commotion on Tianshui Peak naturally attracted attention from other peaks.

"Look, what's happening on Tianshui Peak?"

"I heard that the Wuji Celestial Position experts up there have all fallen. Let's go up and see."

"Oh no, look, that cloud of smoke is heading toward Liuyun Peak!"
