Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"Master Ye!"

Liu Yuchan shot up in pleasant surprise. "Is the pill ready?"

The gazes of the others all turned toward them.

"Yes." Ye Chen coolly handed the pill to Liu Yuchan. "Have Elder Liu take this. It should be able to completely purge the poison from his body."

"This is…" Liu Yuchan opened the bottle containing the pill, and a subtle fragrance instantly filled the entire hall.

Gazing at the dazzling, cloud-like patterns on its surface, even Liu Yanran, who knew nothing about the subject, couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, the grade of this pill must be quite high, right?"

"A Sixth Grade Spirit Pill—a Blood Exchange Pill!"

"And it's Top Grade!"

Liu Yuchan stared at the pill in his hand for a long moment, his eyes widening as he cried out in disbelief.

"What?"

"A Sixth Grade pill?!"

The hall immediately erupted in an uproar.

No one had expected Ye Chen to refine a Sixth Grade pill with a cultivation level below the Primordial Mansion Realm!

And a Top Grade one at that!

Even an ordinary Sixth Grade Alchemist couldn't guarantee they could refine a Top Grade Sixth Grade pill, could they?

Moreover, only an Alchemist like Liu Yuchan would know that the Blood Exchange Pill was a rather obscure type among Sixth Grade pills.

It wasn't considered high-level among Sixth Grade pills, but its refining technique was tricky and its required materials were complex—far beyond what an ordinary Alchemist could easily master.

For Ye Chen to be able to refine such a pill at his young age was a profound shock to Liu Yuchan.

Song Yubing covered her red lips with a delicate hand, her face a mask of disbelief.

'Ye Chen's Alchemy Skill is truly transcendent!'

"The poison in Elder Liu's body has accumulated over time and is now deeply rooted!"

"Unless he takes a Blood Exchange Pill to completely cleanse his blood, it will be impossible to eliminate the residual toxins."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the venom of a Sky Demon Scorpion. The venom of this creature is no small matter. Without a Sixth Grade Spirit Pill, it would be very difficult to deal with!" Ye Chen said coolly.

"A Sky Demon Scorpion?!"

The siblings, Liu Yuchan and Liu Yanran, looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

They simply couldn't understand who would go to such lengths to obtain this potent poison just to assassinate Liu Tianxin.

"Regardless, we can never repay this great kindness, Master Ye!"

"From this day forward, the Liu family swears to stand with you, Master Ye, until death! At your command, my family's disciples will walk through mountains of blades and seas of fire without hesitation!"

Liu Yuchan clutched the Blood Exchange Pill tightly, his expression solemn as he thanked Ye Chen.

"Brother…" At his side, Liu Yanran bit her lip, seemingly startled by Liu Yuchan's grave tone.

Many of the Liu family guards and clansmen in the hall also looked over, their faces filled with astonishment.

One might think Liu Yuchan was too young to make such a momentous promise on behalf of the Liu family.

In reality, however, he was the Liu family Patriarch's only son. Furthermore, with his astonishing talent and mastery of superb Alchemy Skill, no one in the younger generation of the Liu family could compare to him.

It could be said that he was undoubtedly the next Patriarch of the Liu family!

Even now, he already wielded power comparable to an Elder.

Therefore, seeing Liu Yuchan make this solemn vow on behalf of the Liu family, no one felt it was the least bit inappropriate.

"You're too kind."

Ye Chen shook his head. "When I promise something, I will do everything in my power to see it through."

"Then I'll go give my grandfather the Blood Exchange Pill right now!"

Liu Yuchan said no more.

Perhaps the Liu family's promise wasn't something Ye Chen valued highly.

After all, with Ye Chen's current strength, a mere Liu family was indeed beneath his notice.

But regardless, he had to make his stance clear.

A Sixth Grade pill was an incredibly precious and valuable item.

He was filled with gratitude for Ye Chen from the bottom of his heart.

With Liu Yanran's help, Liu Yuchan fed the Blood Exchange Pill into Liu Tianxin's mouth.

A crowd of Liu family members gathered around, watching Liu Tianxin's reaction with expectant faces.

"What's wrong with you?"

Just then, the realm spirit suddenly looked at Ye Chen. "You seem exhausted."

Ye Chen shook his head. 'As I thought, my condition didn't escape the realm spirit's notice.'

He sighed softly. "With my current cultivation, refining a Sixth Grade pill is still quite strenuous."

The first time he had examined Liu Tianxin's condition, he was still at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Back then, there was no way he could have refined a Sixth Grade pill; the gap was simply too great.

Now, not only had he broken through to the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, but his foundation was also much more profound than before.

One could even say he already had one foot in the Primordial Mansion Realm.

If it weren't for his goal of condensing a supreme Dao foundation, he wouldn't need to suppress his cultivation at all and could have broken through to the Primordial Mansion Realm as a matter of course.

"Do you plan to break through to the Primordial Mansion Realm after you return?" the realm spirit asked.

"That's right."

"I just don't know if three days will be enough."

A glint shone in Ye Chen's eyes.

This time, he decided to use materials like the Abyssal Saint Orchid and Crimson Mist Spirit Marrow to re-refine the Five Elements Pill.

The Five Elements Pill refined by Xu Yingwu was of such impure and inferior quality that it was beneath his notice now.

Then, with the help of the re-refined Five Elements Pill, he should be able to charge toward a supreme Dao foundation and become one of the world's rare Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivators in one fell swoop!!!

While Ye Chen was lost in thought, the Liu family members at the side suddenly let out an exclamation.

"He's awake! Wonderful! Elder Liu is awake!"

Ye Chen and the others followed the sound and saw that Liu Tianxin, on the sickbed, had now opened his cloudy eyes.

Although his face was still a little pale, he seemed much more spirited overall.

"Grandfather, how are you feeling now?"

Liu Yanran hurriedly grabbed Liu Tianxin's withered hand and asked anxiously.

"..." Liu Tianxin still seemed very weak. He struggled to gather the strength to speak. "I… I feel a little better."

Ye Chen interrupted, "The effects of the Blood Exchange Pill will take some time to fully manifest. For now, it has likely only cleansed the toxins from a portion of his blood."

"You all should not disturb Elder Liu for now. Let him rest a while longer."

Hearing this, the Liu family members tactfully withdrew from the room.

Liu Yuchan and Liu Yanran also stepped aside, watching Liu Tianxin with anxious faces.

"By the way, have you caught the poisoner?" Ye Chen asked suddenly after a moment of thought.

"The poisoner?"

Liu Yuchan gave a bitter smile. "You must be laughing at us, Master Ye."

"Following your advice, Master Ye, we narrowed our focus to those who had private contact with Grandfather."

"But the culprit is extremely covert. We haven't been able to find any trace of him."

"Is that so…" Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. "I happen to have a way to help you catch this fiend!"
