Medicinal pills were of great significance to martial artists.
A good medicinal pill could display unimaginable miraculous effects. It could heal injuries in an instant or greatly shorten the duration of cultivation. Some medicinal pills could even increase the chances of a martial artist breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation and complete the advancement of cultivation.
The Origin Breaker Pill in Ye Chen's hands could increase a martial artist's chances of breaking through the shackles of the Fourth Heavenly Layer by fifty percent.
This little Origin Breaker Pill was only the lowest level of First Grade Medicinal Pills, but its value reached fifty thousand taels of silver!
Its value was comparable to a Third Grade Spiritual Material!
From this, it could be seen how shocking the value of a medicinal pill was!
But it was precisely because of such a precious treasure that Ye Fei casually gave it to Ye Chen that everyone found it hard to believe.
"Great Elder, the Origin Breaker Pill is of great value. It should be given to those who are of great help to the clan. This Ye Chen has no right to accept this pill. Please take it back, Great Elder."
Ye Tianfeng was the first to stand out. His expression was somewhat gloomy.
"Tianfeng is right. I have also heard my parents say that any bestowal of medicinal pills must be approved by the clan leader. Giving it to him privately is somewhat unreasonable." Ye Qingrou also stood out and directly used her parents' names.
These two had grievances with Ye Chen. Naturally, they did not want Ye Chen to receive the Origin Breaker Pill.
Ye Fei turned his head and looked at the two expressionlessly. The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched and he laughed, "I remember the two of you. One is called Ye Tianfeng, and the other is called Ye Qingrou. Both of you are the children of the outer court elders. To think of the outer court, to not fear my coercion and to speak your mind is truly commendable."
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your praise. This is what we should do." The two were overjoyed and immediately nodded.
But Ye Fei's tone changed, "Speaking your mind is a good thing. But on what basis should I accept it?"
Ye Tianfeng and Ye Qingrou suddenly froze. An ominous feeling rose in their hearts.
Ye Fei sneered and said, "I, Ye Fei, have always done things my own way. If you don't agree with my way of doing things, then please speak with confidence. Don't think that just because you have a good father and a good mother, you can order people around and do whatever you want in the outer court. To put it bluntly, not to mention the outer court elders, even if the patriarch himself came, I wouldn't be afraid in the slightest!"
Domineering!
Absolutely domineering!
When they heard Ye Chen's words, not only Ye Chen and the others, but even the outer disciples outside the training ground felt their blood boil. Their eyes were burning with passion.
"In today's lesson, I felt that Ye Chen's performance was not bad. Giving him a Vitality Breaking Pill is a matter of course. If your performance is enough to surprise me, I will also give you the same treatment. But the premise is that you have the strength and talent. Don't use your backer to intimidate others!"
Ye Fei disdainfully swept his gaze over the two people in front of him. He turned his head and said in a clear voice, "In half a month, it will be the opening day of the Clan Martial Gathering. At that time, I, Ye Fei, will personally be there to observe. As long as you can get into the top ten, you can choose a martial art from the second floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion. And if you can get into the top ten, I will also give you a second ranked pill."
Hua!
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
A first ranked pill was already so precious. A second ranked pill was even more unimaginable. It was worth at least two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and there was no market for it.
After hearing Ye Fei's words, everyone gasped for breath. In their hearts, they were looking forward to the Clan Martial Gathering even more. Even if they had to risk their lives, they had to get a good ranking.
This was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"I have said all that I wanted to say. I hope that you will continue to improve and have a breakthrough in the remaining time."
Ye Fei looked deeply at Ye Ming. Then, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked away.
It was obvious that the real purpose of Ye Fei's lecture was to motivate everyone and increase the competitiveness of the Clan Martial Gathering.
As for Ye Chen's appearance, Ye Fei only treated him as a rising star. He had experienced many ups and downs and had seen many geniuses. The reason why he was so sarcastic towards Ye Qingrou and Ye Tianfeng was to give Ye Chen a chance to sharpen himself.
Because only a flower that had experienced a storm would be able to blossom with true brilliance!
A few minutes later.
Everyone left the Martial Arts Pavilion one after another.
Ye Chen let out a long breath. Ignoring Ye Qingrou and Ye Tianfeng's hateful eyes, he strode home.
Clang!
As soon as he reached home, Ye Chen immediately closed the door and carefully took out the Vitality Breaking Pill.
A mesmerizing medicinal fragrance wafted out. Ye Chen could feel the purity of the medicinal essence contained within. Even the Yang Yuan Grass paled in comparison. After all, the difference in value between the two was more than ten times. They could not be compared.
"I hope that I can break through in one go this time!"
Ye Chen muttered to himself. His heart was filled with anticipation.
However, he did not immediately consume the Vitality Breaking Pill. Instead, he soaked in the medicinal bath for two hours. Then, he practiced a few sets of Barbaric Bull Fists. He constantly circulated the Blood Qi in his body, adjusting himself to the most perfect state. At the same time, he constantly pondered over Ye Fei's lecture. He wanted to thoroughly master it and assimilate it into his own knowledge.
As the sun moved to the west, Ye Chen also made his preparations.
Gulp!
Ye Chen swallowed the Breaking Yuan Pellet. All of a sudden, he could feel the blood and Qi rolling inside his body. There was an indescribable aura inside his body that kept attacking and condensing into a single point. It kept running inside his meridians, blood, and flesh like a wild horse that was out of control.
According to the ancient records, the Vitality Breaking Pill used the Origin Energy within the pill to attack the meridians and stimulate the formation of the Primary Sea. The process was accompanied by intense pain.
However, Ye Chen was different from ordinary people.
He had the Barbarian Bull Totem in his body, which absorbed and spat out elemental energy day and night. Although there was no elemental sea in his body, the elemental energy was integrated into his flesh and blood. Now that the elemental energy from the Breakthrough Yuan Pill was spilling out, it completely activated the elemental energy hidden in his flesh and blood.
Weng! Weng!
Weng! In just a few breaths, Ye Chen could feel that the Origin Energy was several times more vigorous. It was like a surging river, constantly washing his muscles, bones, and flesh. It brought about a sharp pain that felt like his bones were being scraped.
That kind of pain was far from being comparable to ten Vitality Breaking Pills!
"No, I can't give up!"
"If I fail this time, the Origin Energy in my body will be completely used up. Next time, if I want to break through to the Fourth Heavenly Layer, I will have to accumulate Origin Energy again. At that time, the Clan Tournament would have already begun."
Ye Chen was very clear that if he failed to break through, Ye Qingrou and Ye Tianfeng would definitely do everything in their power to prevent him from breaking through again. Isolation and suppression were small matters, but if they came up with some kind of scheme to plot against him, it would be impossible to guard against.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to succeed this time!
Ye Chen clenched his teeth, both hands grabbing onto the bed. Because of the intense pain, ten deep scratches were left on the hard bed. His fingers were even dripping with blood and sweat. However, Ye Chen was not discouraged. He continued to endure, not giving up.
Bang!
After enduring for an unknown amount of time, just as Ye Chen was about to faint, he heard the sound of something hard breaking in his body.
Immediately, it was as if a flood had broken out of a dam.
With Ye Chen as the center, countless milky white dots of light emerged. These dots of light gathered together and formed a strong whirlwind, rushing into Ye Chen's body. The wind was so strong that the whole room was on the verge of collapse. The oil lamp was extinguished.
If Ye Fei was present, he would definitely be so satisfied that his white beard would tremble.
This white light was not something else, but the Origin Energy that wandered between heaven and earth.
Origin Energy Gathering, Origin Energy Sea Formation!
Ye Chen had successfully formed his Origin Energy Sea, stepping into the Fourth Heavenly Layer!
At the same time, in a dark loft outside the Outer Sect.
Ye Qingrou was wearing a thin nightgown. Through the dim moonlight, one could almost see the smooth and white skin underneath. Paired with her charming face, it was really hard to control the lust in one's heart.
Ye Tianfeng swallowed his saliva as he stared at Ye Qingrou's flawless body. His eyes were filled with lust as he said, "It's easy to do things in the dark. Little Sister Qingrou, you called me over so late. Could it be that you're lonely and want me to accompany you?"
Ye Qingrou's eyes flashed with disgust, but she still had a charming smile on her face. She said shyly, "I've long heard that Brother Tianfeng is a playboy. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation."
"A playboy is a waste of youth. Moreover, Little Sister Qingrou is as beautiful as a fairy. As long as you're a man, your heart will be moved." Ye Tianfeng took a few steps forward, his hands unconsciously touching Ye Qingrou's body.
Ye Qingrou dodged and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Actually, I've been in love with Brother Tianfeng for a long time. I want to find a chance to spend the night with you. Unfortunately, there's a knot in my heart that I can't untie. I'm afraid it will spoil our mood."
"Knot in your heart?
What knot in your heart? "
Ye Tianfeng was originally a lecherous man. He had been drooling over Ye Qingrou for a long time. Hearing these words, his mind was in chaos.
Ye Qingrou saw that the other party took the bait and continued to act, "That Ye Chen humiliated me several times and formed a grudge with me. Now that he has obtained the Breaking Yuan Pill, if he successfully breaks through to the Fourth Heavenly Layer, he might find a chance to take revenge on me. I'm scared, really scared."
Ye Qingrou's acting skills were profound. Tears were about to flow down her face.
"Little Sister Qingrou, don't worry. As long as I'm here, that Ye Chen won't be able to touch a single hair on your body." Ye Tianfeng patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Ye Chen is in the limelight recently. His talent has also been revealed. If he is allowed to grow, he will definitely become a big problem. If he enters the inner court, Ye Chen will definitely nurture him well. At that time, he might even ride on our heads."
Ye Tianfeng was startled. Although he was unhappy, what Ye Qingrou said was the truth, "Then Little Sister Qingrou, what brilliant plan do you have?"
"It can't be considered a brilliant plan. It's just a small scheme." Ye Qingrou moved closer to Ye Tianfeng's ear and whispered.
Hearing this, Ye Tianfeng was a little hesitant, "This plan can indeed kill Ye Chen. But if something goes wrong, will it..."
"Brother Tianfeng, don't worry. I have already arranged for everyone. There will definitely be no mistakes."
Ye Qingrou blinked her seductive eyes and gently lifted up her clothes. Her breath was like an orchid as she said, "If this matter is successful, I am willing to share the spring night with Brother Tianfeng and enjoy the pleasure of making love."
"Good!
I agree to this! "
Ye Tianfeng's eyes shone brightly as he agreed without hesitation.
