Chapter 50 - 50 Entrusting Alchemy_l
The Ye Family members started cultivating the new clan’s technique.
Ye Fan also sent a message to Ye Jinhai and Yuan Tinghan who were far away in the Longevity Sect, asking them both to come home.
Within Bai Xue’s cave house in Longevity Sect…
“Jinhai, your father’s alchemy skills are extraordinary. I am wondering if your
Ye family could help our Longevity Sect refine an elixir. Would it be possible?”
The Longevity Sect is renowned for prolonging life; their cultivators live much longer than others. Apart from the cultivation techniques, this is mainly because the Longevity Sect possesses a pill formula, the Longevity Pill.
The Longevity Pill, which uses the Longevity Fruit as its primary ingredient, can extend the lifespan of a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator by twenty years.
However, in recent years, no alchemist in the Longevity Sect has been able to refine the Longevity Pill.
Now, the Longevity Sect’s supply of Longevity Pills is about to run out, and they urgently need an alchemist to assist them in refining the pills.
The pill formula of Longevity Pill, however, is a secret of the Longevity Sect, and it would be a great risk to request an ordinary Alchemist to help, let alone trust them with the formula.
Finding a competent alchemist with ties to the Longevity Sect is not an easy task.
But Ye Fan’s arrival perfectly fulfills the Longevity Sect’s requirements.
He is proficient in alchemy, and his son is even a disciple of the Grand Elder in the Longevity Sect.
The Longevity Sect can’t afford to wait for another suitable alchemist, so they can only ask Ye Jinhai to connect them, hoping Ye Fan could be persuaded to help.
“Master, I’m not sure if my father will agree. Let me go home and ask him first.
Three days later, Ye Jinhai and Yuan Tinghan returned to the Ye family.
Accompanying them was the Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect along with several disciples.
“Patriarch Ye, we are sorry for the sudden visit.”
Bai Xue was polite and did not look down on the Ye family because of their inferior cultivation.
Ye Fan was surprised to learn that the woman standing before him was Ye Jinhai’s master, a powerful cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he quickly extended a welcome.
“Elder Bai, your visit is an honor to our Ye family.”
After some polite conversation, Ye Fan led Bai Xue to the reception room.
Ye Jinhai had just secretly informed Ye Fan about the Longevity Sect’s request for him to refine the elixirs.
Ye Fan was considering whether he should do it.
The most important thing was to first take a look at the Longevity Pill’s pill formula.
With Ye Fan’s current abilities, there are virtually no first-grade elixirs he cannot refine.
However, to prevent any unexpected circumstances, he still needed to proceed with caution.
While Ye Fan was discussing the alchemy matters with Bai Xue, Ye Jinhai took his several brothers to the Ye Family.
The several senior brothers glanced around and their hearts filled with contempt.
This Ye family looked quite ordinary!
The density of spiritual energy was needless to say, there was no comparison with the Longevity Sect.
Even the spiritual energy at their own families’ cultivation land was denser than in the Ye family.
A Ye family, which seemed so ordinary even in their own clan land, could really produce an elixir like Blood Ginseng Elixir…
Hopefully, their master wouldn’t be deceived.
Then, Ye Jintian arrived at the reception room with the servants.
They brought trays with Spirit Fruits on them.
Ye Jintian showed no reaction to the disdain in their eyes.
These spirit fruits were just recently planted in the relic.
Through the growth acceleration by several Spiritual Plant Masters, they matured very quickly.
Of course, these Spirit Fruits were just appetizers.
“Little brother, you have been away for quite a while. Fortunately, father has just refined a batch of things. This is your and Tinghan’s share.” Ye Jintian passed over a storage bag.
Ye Jinhai didn’t hide anything and brought it out directly.
Firstly, there was a set of magic artifacts, just like the Nine Yuan Sword set given to Yuan Tinghan’s family. At present, this is the best item available in the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.
A set costs two thousand spirit stones and is limited to one set every three months.
Every member of the Ye family, however, had one set.
As the direct disciples of the Longevity Sect, Ye Jinhai’s senior fellow disciples naturally had high standards.
Upon seeing Ye Jinhai taking out not one, but two sets of middle-grade Nine Yuan Swords in one go, their eyes instantly turned red.
It was absurd! Those were treasures that their own family couldn’t even take out one set of, yet Ye Jinhai had just casually taken out two sets.
From their actions, it was evident that every other person in the Ye family had a similar set as well.
“Take deep breaths, they must have only scraped together two sets among them, no need to be envious, no need to be envious!”
Several elder disciples finally managed to calm down, only for Ye Jinhai to take out a second item from his storage bag.
It was an elixir. The moment he opened the jade bottle’s cap, a fragrant aroma filled the entire reception room.
“Dad said our family made quite a bit recently. Now, the elixirs used by the family members for cultivation have all been replaced with Nurturing Qi
Elixirs.”
Damnit!
A few people wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Jinhai and take his place.
Even though they were already in the middle phase of Qi Cultivation, the elixirs they used were mostly Qi Cultivation Elixirs, only occasionally using Qi Enhancing Elixirs.
A Nurturing Qi Elixir… they didn’t even dare to dream about it.
If they told their family they wanted Nurturing Qi Elixirs as the daily elixir, they’d probably get their legs broken.
“Junior Brother, stop showing off.”
Muttered the elder disciple, a teardrop of envy trickling down the corner of his mouth.
Even the delicious fruits had lost their taste.
Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai exchanged a look, a trace of a smile gracing their lips.
They could look down on them, but they certainly couldn’t look down on the Ye family.
Now, the Ye family also had the right to bare its fangs.
Elsewhere, after having examined the Elixir Formula that Bai Xue had passed to him, Ye Fan did some calculations in his mind and found no issues.
Although the Longevity Pill was among the most difficult of the first-grade elixirs, it posed no difficulty for Ye Fan.
Considering whether to help craft the elixir, Ye Fan thought it over and decided to agree.
As one of the strongest sects in Guanghe Prefecture, having the Longevity Sect’s friendship would be quite beneficial for the Ye Family.
Prestige was a crucial part of the family’s rise to power.
One additional identity equals one more step towards progress for the mission.
“Elder Bai, I have no problems from my side.”
Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, excitement filled Bai Xue.
For a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, the Longevity Pill could extend their lifespan by 20 years.
Even for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, it had some effect.
There was an elder in the Longevity Sect now whose lifespan was limited. If they could get a Longevity Pill, perhaps they could break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and live for another decade or so.
“Patriarch Ye, once the elixir is successfully refined, our Longevity Sect won’t let you down.”
Soon, Ye Fan returned to the Longevity Sect with Ye Jinqiu and the others.
A batch of elixirs was sent to the alchemy room where Ye Fan was.
Looking at the Alchemy Furnace in front of him, Ye Fan couldn’t help but marvel, calling the owner a ‘rich man’.
First-grade ones were used as Magic Artifacts, commonly used by Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators.
Second-grade ones were used as Spiritual Artifacts, often wielded as weapons by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And the pill furnace before Ye Fan’s eyes was a second-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace.
For an alchemist, using a Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace to refine elixirs was a luxury.
In fact, with the Heavenly Wood Flames that Ye Fan had, he had every chance to craft second-grade elixirs.
But unfortunately, Ye Fan’s skills were stuck at the peak of the first grade and couldn’t break through.
Although Ye Jinlong and Ye Jinfeng’s Artifact Refining and Alchemy skills were gradually improving, to help Ye Fan’s skills break through to the second grade without reaching the late stage of the first grade was virtually impossible.
Once they returned this time, he would have to instruct the two carefully for a
while to see if they could make a breakthrough!
Collecting his thoughts, Ye Fan finally began to refine the elixir..
