Chapter 428
Nine Astra Skies
428 You’re actually at boundless stage?
~~
In addition to the medicinal pills that could increase one’s lifespan, ye chen was also interested in other things in the city of the apothecary King.
“You guys owe master. Today, consider it as a little compensation for master.” Ye chen thought to himself.
After Yuan Yi left, xuanming glared at master apothecary Xuanyi and the others before leaving angrily as well. As for Lei Yi and the others, they looked back with complicated expressions. They wanted to say something but hesitated. However, they also left with xuanming.
Seeing that they had left, Shen Yu and the rest stood up and prepared to leave.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with this Yuan Yi today, but he’s actually so polite to us and even keeps asking us to stay.”
“Yeah, the sun must have risen from the West.”
Shen Yu and the others discussed in low voices, somewhat puzzled. They had seen Yuan Yi’s character clearly many years ago, but his behavior today was indeed a little abnormal.
Naturally, ye chen would not say anything. However, master apothecary Xuanyi glanced at ye chen as if he had sensed something.
“Let’s go,” Master apothecary Xuanyi smiled slightly. By paying respects to his master, he had fulfilled one of his wishes.
The group left the city of the medicine King.
“Master, martial uncles, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” Ye chen said to master apothecary Xuanyi and the others.
“Just say it.” Shen Yu and the others nodded. They were quite fond of master apothecary Xuanyi’s disciple. He was young but had extraordinary attainments. What was even rarer was that he was very humble and polite to his elders.
since master and the martial uncles have rejected the city of the apothecary King’s invitation, there’s no point in staying in the imperial capital any longer. I’ve established a star temple in the Xiwu Empire and I want to build an alchemy Pavilion. I’d like to invite master and the martial uncles to head over and take charge. Ye chen revealed his plan honestly.
“Youngling ye chen, how big is your star temple?” Shen Yu and the others were a little dumbfounded. Ye chen had actually established his own force. Could it be that he had built a small city like a child’s play? it was too difficult for a small city to survive in this situation where the beast tide of spirit beasts was raging.
“Martial uncles, please don’t worry. The scale of my star Hall is still acceptable. Including me, there are three boundless stage experts, more than ten godly venerable rank experts and monster Kings, tens of millions of troops under our command, and about a hundred million people in the city. If you want to survive in the beast tide, you must have a pharmacist.” Ye chen spoke slowly and sincerely, ” that’s why I’d like to ask master and the martial uncles to go and hold the fort.
Three boundless stage, more than ten reverent-god level experts, Monster King level experts, tens of millions of troops, a hundred million people, Oh my God!
Shen Yu and the others were so shocked by this series of numbers that they could not come back to their senses for a long time. This had far exceeded their expectations. Even master apothecary Xuanyi found it hard to imagine that ye chen had done so many things in such a short time. Although such a huge force could not be compared with the Super forces like the city of the apothecary King, it was enough to attract the attention of those super forces.
“Martial nephew ye Chen’s already a boundless stage powerhouse?” One of the master apothecaries asked in shock. His eyes were wide and his hair and beard stood on end. He stared at ye chen from head to toe as if he was looking at a monster.
“Not bad.” Ye chen was a little embarrassed by her stare. He touched his nose and nodded in embarrassment.
When everyone received ye Chen’s affirmative answer, they were all shocked. The shock in their hearts could not be any greater. Was this young man who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen years old really a legendary boundless stage powerhouse?!
Even master apothecary Xuanyi and Li Xu could not help but be surprised. Ye Chen’s growth rate was too fast. As far as they knew, ye chen was still stuck at the daemon King realm five months ago. They did not expect that when they met again, he had already leaped into another major realm!
If master apothecary Xuanyi and Li Xu knew that ye Chen’s true strength was only at heavenly venerable rank five months ago, his cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds during this period of time and he had advanced into boundless stage, they would probably be even more shocked.
“Martial nephew is so young, but you’ve already achieved so much. It really makes us feel ashamed.” Shen Yu and the others could not help but smile bitterly after recovering from their shock. No matter which aspect it was, they could not catch up to ye chen.
“What’s your decision, senior brother Xuanyi? We are willing to follow senior brother Xuanyi!” The other four master apothecaries chimed in.
Ye chen looked at his master, full of anticipation.
“The beast tide of soul beasts is coming, and the people are in great misery. Only by continuously strengthening the star Hall can more people survive.” Ye chen looked at master apothecary Xuanyi and said sincerely.
Master apothecary Xuanyi was silent for a moment. since you have such a grand plan in mind, then an old man like me will naturally do my best to help you. However, I’m old and there are many things that I’m afraid I can’t do even if I want to.
“How can I let master do those cumbersome tasks? every day, you only need to refine pills and teach me, just like in the past.” Ye chen smiled. He was overjoyed that master apothecary Xuanyi was willing to go to the star temple.
Seeing that master apothecary Xuanyi had agreed, the other four master apothecaries nodded in agreement. In addition to Li Xu, the star Hall had six master apothecaries in one go. In addition, these six master apothecaries also had some talented disciples following them. Once the star Hall’s alchemy Pavilion was established, it would definitely be extraordinary.
“I’ll arrange for someone to escort master, senior uncles, and senior brothers to the star Hall!” Ye chen said. He still had to investigate the source of the beast tide and could not escort master apothecary Xuanyi and the others. However, he could find people and only needed to pay some remuneration.
There were a few experts in the imperial capital who were in charge of accepting missions. With the arrival of the soul beast tide, all kinds of resources had become extremely scarce. In order to survive, those idle powerhouses could only take on all kinds of jobs to earn rewards to enhance their strength. Many of them were at the divine Paragon rank and above. If the money was enough, one could even hire a boundless stage! It should not be a problem for them to escort master apothecary Xuanyi and the others to the star Hall.
With a thought, ye chen saw little squido flying over from a distance. A heaven-earth pouch hung from one of little squido’s tentacles.
Little squido’s ability to steal was not inferior to little tanuki’s.
Ye chen took the heaven-earth pouch and looked inside. Other than six fragrant medicinal pills, there were also stacks of books. Those pills were the longevity extending pills that Yuan Yi had mentioned, which could increase one’s lifespan. These longevity extending pills could be given to the master apothecaries to use. The other books were alchemy books that the city of the apothecary King would never disclose to outsiders. These books could help master apothecary Xuanyi and the others to improve their alchemy skills to a higher level!
Ye Chen’s expression did not change after taking the things from the city of the apothecary King. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. These things were what the city of the apothecary King owed master and his martial uncles. It could be considered their atonement!
In the evening, ye chen hired twenty-six unaffiliated powerhouses through the Spirit artifact Council. Three of them were boundless stage and twenty-three godly venerable rank and daemon King rank powerhouses. The price for these people to escort master apothecary Xuanyi and the others to the star temple was one hundred soul jades. The deposit was ten pieces.
What ye chen was paying for was one of the items that were currently in high demand. Although spirit beasts were rampant outside, spirit beasts above daemon King rank were still very rare. With so many of them escorting master apothecary Xuanyi and the others, the safety factor was very high. Many people were very willing to do it.
How could ye chen let master apothecary Xuanyi and the others take the risk?
“I have some things here that I want to give to master and my martial uncles.” As ye chen spoke, he took out some things, including the longevity extending pill and the alchemy books. this pill is called the longevity extending pill. One pill can increase one’s lifespan by dozens of years. However, each person can only consume one. Master and all the martial uncles can have one each. Also, these alchemy books were obtained from my adventures outside. They contain even more profound alchemy techniques, including ancient alchemy techniques!”
“How can we accept such a valuable gift?” Master apothecary Xuanyi was moved. He did not expect ye chen to have such a precious item, especially those alchemy books. To an Alchemist, they were definitely priceless treasures!
“Master and martial uncles are old and strong, and it’s of great significance to me that your alchemy skills can reach a higher level. I hope master and martial uncles won’t refuse!” Ye Chen’s tone was firm as he shoved the longevity extending pill and the alchemy books to master apothecary Xuanyi and the others.
“Senior brother Xuanyi, junior nephew ye chen wants us to put in our best effort. Forget it, forget it. We’re already old bones. We’ll do as much as we can. It’s fine as long as we have a clear conscience.” Shen Yu chuckled. He also wanted to see master apothecary Xuanyi live longer.
Master apothecary Xuanyi understood ye Chen’s temperament and no longer declined. He nodded and accepted the books. His hands constantly rubbed the covers of the alchemy books, loving them like treasures.
“The experts outside are already waiting. Master, martial uncles, and martial brothers, take care. I’ll return to the star Hall after I’ve finished my business outside in a few months.” Ye chen said, sending master apothecary Xuanyi and the others out.
The Masters who were responsible for escorting master apothecary Xuanyi outside took master apothecary Xuanyi and the others on their flying mounts and rose from the ground, flying into the distance.
Soon, the flying mounts disappeared into the clouds.
Ye chen was in such a hurry to send master apothecary Xuanyi and his martial uncles away because he was worried that the city of the apothecary King would notice that the alchemy book had been stolen and suspect master apothecary Xuanyi and the others.
Once master apothecary Xuanyi and the others left the city, it would be more difficult for the city of the apothecary King to find them again. Who knew which way master apothecary Xuanyi and the others had gone?
Although these actions might draw the attention of the city of the apothecary King to the star Hall, ye chen could not care less at this point. Without using some extraordinary means, how could the star Hall grow?
In addition to having his master and his martial uncles stay in the star Hall to build the alchemy Pavilion, ye chen also had some plans. Those were the experts who would escort his master and martial uncles!
The ones ye chen had hired were all reputable, idle powerhouses. Three boundless stage and twenty-three godly venerable rank and daemon Kings. Ye chen had asked senior brother Li Qing to pass a message to Tong Tian The Leo King. After these powerhouses escorted master and his martial uncles to the star temple, they would be treated well by the star temple and offered various favorable conditions. He believed that with The Leo King’s abilities, he would definitely be able to retain some of them!
Knowing that the spirit beast tide would continue to expand, ye Chen’s heart was still quite anxious.
