Chapter 405: The Might of the Four Directions Cauldron!

Since following Ye Yuan, the Long-Armed Stone Ape clan had already undergone a transformation.

Back when Ye Yuan first met Yuan Fei, he was the only third-tier demon beast. Now, there were already twenty or thirty third-tier Long-Armed Stone Apes.

It could be said that the overall strength of the Long-Armed Stone Ape clan had risen to a new level!

Such a tremendous change was something Yuan Fei could never have imagined when he first began following Ye Yuan.

Now, if he were to leave Ye Yuan, he wouldn't even know how to survive.

"Heh, if you're willing to stay, of course I welcome you!" Ye Yuan said with a smile. Yuan Fei's answer did not surprise him.

In fact, he had anticipated this outcome when he first recruited Yuan Fei.

"Old ape, you've tasted the sweetness, haven't you? Haha, follow the boss, and don't just stop at fourth-tier—even transformation isn't a difficult feat!" Bai Guang suddenly teased.

Yuan Fei's face reddened at first, then he exclaimed in shock, "Bai Guang, you... you... are already at the third tier!"

"How about that, impressive, right? If you don't hurry up, I'll soon surpass you!" Bai Guang, still childlike, said smugly.

"Stop your nonsense! The one who's tasted the sweetness should be you. Don't bully honest Yuan Fei!" Ye Yuan scolded with a laugh.

"Cough... Boss, can't you let me have my moment of pride? Alright, alright, I know we all owe it to you, okay?" Bai Guang said helplessly.

"Good that you know! Alright, no time to waste. I'm going to start refining pills. You two stand guard for me," Ye Yuan said.

The Demon Mansion Pill was a third-tier demon pill, which posed little difficulty for Ye Yuan, and he finished refining it quickly.

The moment Yuan Fei received the Demon Mansion Pill, he was so excited he couldn't speak. He stammered for a long time, his ape face flushed black with red, earning him a good laugh from Bai Guang.

"Hahaha, old ape, getting this excited over a single Demon Mansion Pill—how pathetic!" Bai Guang laughed loudly.

Interrupted by Bai Guang, Yuan Fei calmed down a bit: "You brat, with your invincible bloodline, you have no idea what the Demon Mansion Pill means to the likes of me. You're speaking from a position of comfort!"

Bai Guang laughed: "Following the boss, this is just the beginning! Not to mention a tiny Demon Mansion Pill, even the Transformation Pill is nothing, right? If you're like this now, when the boss refines the Transformation Pill for you, won't you be so excited you drop dead? Haha, that would be fun."

Hearing Bai Guang's words, Yuan Fei shuddered!

The Transformation Pill!

He had truly never imagined that one day he would successfully transform and advance to a fifth-tier demon beast!

A fifth-tier demon beast, that is, a royal-level demon beast, marks another beginning for demon beasts.

And now, he was about to step into the ranks of fourth-tier demon beasts. Could fifth-tier... be far behind?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Bai Guang is right. It's just a Demon Mansion Pill; Yuan Fei, you don't need to be so excited. Remember what I told you back then? Fifth-tier demon emperor, sixth-tier demon lord—none of them are difficult."

Yuan Fei's mood finally settled a bit. He cupped his hands to Ye Yuan and said, "Yuan Fei understands! Meeting you, young master, is the greatest fortune of my life!"

Yuan Fei naturally hadn't forgotten what Ye Yuan had said back then. At that time, Ye Yuan was just a youth in the Yuan Qi realm, talking about fifth and sixth tiers. Yuan Fei had still harbored some doubts.

But a year had passed, and that youth in the Yuan Qi realm had grown into a Crystal Formation realm powerhouse!

Looking back, Yuan Fei realized how fortunate it was to have met Ye Yuan back then!

"Haha, why say such things between us? Prepare yourself well and use this month to break through to the fourth tier," Ye Yuan said with a hearty laugh.

Yuan Fei acknowledged and went to another place to go into seclusion.

As soon as Sarutobi left, Ye Yuan released all the medicinal herbs from his storage ring, and the originally empty room immediately became full.

"Big brother, with so many herbs, how do you plan to refine them?" Bai Guang asked curiously.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, all at once!"

With that, he surged his primal power and struck a series of hand seals into the Four Directions Cauldron!

The Four Directions Cauldron had originally looked like a mere metal object, but now, under Ye Yuan's hand seals, it gradually began to shine!

It appeared like a divine artifact, stunning Bai Guang.

After more than ten breaths, Ye Yuan was panting with exhaustion, and the radiance of the Four Directions Cauldron gradually stabilized.

"Huff... With my current strength, activating even one formation within a profound artifact is this taxing!" Ye Yuan said helplessly after swallowing a Ningxiang Pill.

"Wow! This cauldron looks amazing! Big brother, what are you going to do?" Bai Guang asked in confusion.

Although he had found this treasure, he knew nothing about its functions and was full of curiosity.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Watch closely!"

With another surge of primal power, the large pile of herbs flew one by one into the Four Directions Cauldron!

The next moment, the Four Directions Cauldron blazed with light, emitting a dazzling glow from its mouth, and it was unknown what was happening inside.

After a quarter of an hour, the light dissipated, and the Four Directions Cauldron returned to its original state.

Bai Guang, greatly curious, leaped to the cauldron's mouth, his tiger eyes wide open.

"These... these... are all medicine embryos? Heavens, how did you do it?" Bai Guang exclaimed in astonishment.

"Heh, it wasn't me. This is the cauldron's own formation. Once activated, it automatically refines the medicine embryos!" Ye Yuan explained.

"So amazing? Hehe, as expected of the treasure I found—truly extraordinary!" Bai Guang indulged in self-praise again.

"But with so many medicine embryos, you're not planning to refine them all at once, are you?" Bai Guang suddenly asked again.

"Of course, refining them one by one would be too troublesome," Ye Yuan said casually.

"Tsk tsk, I'm really curious about your background. Your alchemy skills completely crush the alchemists of the lower realm! That Shi Haoran seems to be quite powerful, but even he wouldn't have enough time to refine this many pills in a month. You're only at the Great Alchemist realm, yet you can refine so many third-grade pills in minutes—it's simply heaven-defying!" Bai Guang praised.

"Heh, I do have some background, and I'll tell you when the time is right. For now, don't ask too many questions," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

It wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't trust Bai Guang, but his path of revenge was too arduous, and one misstep could lead to eternal damnation.

He couldn't even guarantee whether he would succeed in the end, so he didn't want to drag innocent Bai Guang into it.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask!" Bai Guang pouted.

Ye Yuan adjusted his breathing until his primal power returned to its peak, then began the refinement.

The pill he was refining this time was called the Jade Spirit Pill, naturally used to enhance primal power.

This pill was far more effective than those used by ordinary martial artists in the lower realm.

With a gentle exhale of the Pure Sandal Sacred Flame, the Four Directions Cauldron was instantly ignited!

Unfortunately, with Ye Yuan's current strength, he couldn't fully utilize the Four Directions Cauldron's functions; otherwise, refining this batch of pills would not have required such effort.

Still the Three Cycles Reincarnation Art!

As hand seal after hand seal was struck into the Four Directions Cauldron, the cauldron's body radiated light once more!
