CHAPTER 1154: 1154 EYE-CATCHING ALCHEMY! (FIFTH UPDATE)

"Why are you looking for me?" After a sumptuous meal, the little girl licked her fingers and asked.

Ye Qiu pondered for a while, then said, "I want to know, after I was enveloped by the black cocoon, what happened? Why did Ji Batian die when I woke up? Was it really you who killed him?"

The little girl disappeared into silence for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "If it wasn’t me who killed him, could it have been you?"

Ye Qiu felt a bit awkward. At that time, he seemed to have no trump card to take out Ji Batian, but the little girl’s reply still didn’t solve the doubts in Ye Qiu’s heart.

Ye Qiu continued to ask, but the little girl said nothing further, as if she didn’t want to mention a single word about the situation back then.

In the end, Ye Qiu left disappointed. The little girl didn’t want to talk, and he couldn’t force it. Even if he tried to force it, he wasn’t her match; after all, she was a powerful figure in the Void Breaking Realm.

Watching Ye Qiu disappear from the palace, the little girl sighed, remembering the terrifying soul dwelling in Ye Qiu’s body.

The warning from that soul back then was something the little girl hadn’t forgotten. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Ye Qiu the truth, but she didn’t dare to. If she did, it might provoke the appearance of that soul, who could easily erase her from the ancient land, just like it did with Ji Batian.

Returning to his residence, Ye Qiu’s doubts remained unresolved. Why didn’t the Beast God mention a word about it? There must be some hidden truth that he didn’t know about.

Yet Ye Qiu had no clue where to start his guessing.

"Did the Beast God not demand Uncle to return below the snow peak and fulfill the thirty-year promise also have something to do with my lost memory?" Ye Qiu thought.

However, when he went to ask Uncle, Dugu Qiujian also said he didn’t know the reason. When Ye Qiu faked his death, Dugu Qiujian charged into the sky to duel Ji Batian, but was eventually blasted down, losing consciousness, and after that, how Ji Batian died was also unknown to him.

"How strange, what are those memories that I’ve lost?" The more confused he felt, the more Ye Qiu wanted to know the reason.

He pondered long and hard, but still found no hint. Ye Qiu could only give up, suppressing this mystery deep in his heart.

The next day, Ye Qiu called upon Wu Yang and others, preparing to begin alchemy for a sacred grade pill.

"What? Ye Shao is going to perform alchemy? Did I hear wrong?" Upon hearing about Ye Qiu’s alchemy, many members of the ancient clans were stunned because they didn’t know Ye Qiu could perform alchemy at all.

At that moment, many people went to the place where Ye Qiu was performing alchemy.

Ye Qiu’s alchemy stirred many people, besides Wu Yang, the owner of the library, and Boss Yun being present, even the Clan Leader of the Yue clan, Yue Lun, and other young disciples from the Yue clan came, as did Tang Heshan and Tang Surou from the Tang clan.

"He is actually an Alchemist!" If Tang Heshan hadn’t believed it at first, at this moment, seeing Ye Qiu manipulate the cauldron in the sky, constantly heating its bottom with fierce flames, even Tang Heshan had to believe it.

"Heavens, have Alchemists not disappeared? In the ancient land, there hasn’t been an Alchemist for a long time, right?" someone exclaimed. Looking at the figure performing alchemy in the sky, they were filled with shock and reverence.

At this time, someone seemed to realize something, saying, "Ye Shao could continuously break through martial realms in just over a year, I fear it’s inseparable from his identity as an Alchemist."

"I think it’s very possible. The importance of pills is well understood by everyone. They can help a person break through, consolidate martial realms, and even instantly replenish depleted strength. It can be said that as long as there are enough pills, one stands undefeated." someone said seriously.

"Could it be that the sudden appearance of large quantities of pills at Yun Shang Palace before was also made by Ye Shao?"

Mentioning the prior auction of pills at Yun Shang Palace, coupled with the current scene, the crowd couldn’t help but feel enlightened, believing that those pills must have been made by Ye Qiu.

"No wonder Yun Shang Palace is determined to protect Ye Shao; it turns out to have this layer of relationship. An Alchemist, and the only one in the ancient land at that. The destruction of the three ancient clans was destined the moment Ye Shao became an Alchemist, wasn’t it?"

The mention of the once three ancient clans drew many glances, causing the speaker to shut their mouth instantly, no longer saying more.

However, their words garnered many people’s agreement, thinking there was indeed some truth in it. Yun Shang Palace siding with an Alchemist against the three ancient clans was indeed worthwhile, considering Ye Qiu as the only Alchemist in the ancient land.

The discussions on the ground didn’t catch Ye Qiu’s attention. The reason he no longer secretly performed alchemy, exposing his Alchemist identity, was because now he feared no one. Even if someone was jealous of his alchemy skills, it was useless. With Ye Qiu’s strength, he feared no one’s covetousness.

This is the benefit of being powerful: ignoring any crisis.

With this confidence, even if someone had thoughts about his alchemy skills, it wouldn’t matter; he could handle it himself.

A demon of the Human King realm capable of cutting down Imperial realm, which ancient clan in the ancient land dare provoke them?

Moreover, among the Imperial realm powerhouses, only Wu Yang and the library owner from Yun Shang Palace were present, as other ancient clans didn’t possess such powerhouses. Therefore, with Ye Qiu’s Human King realm strength, he could dismiss everything.

Of course, Ye Qiu revealing his Alchemist identity was not solely for this reason. Another aspect was to deter others, telling the other ancient clans that he, Ye Qiu, could perform alchemy, with unlimited growth prospects. The Human King realm wouldn’t be the end; he would continue to break through to higher realms.

Needless to say, Ye Qiu revealing his alchemy techniques achieved its purpose today. Any ancient clan, upon learning of Ye Qiu’s Alchemist identity, no longer harbored any other thoughts. Ye Qiu’s rise was inevitable and unstoppable, and being enemies with him would result in the same fate as the three ancient clans: total annihilation.

The Rule Power of fire transformed into blazing flames, making alchemy independent from earthly fire, relying solely on the Rule of fire.

Ye Qiu began placing herbs, casting pill formulas, and for a moment, the scene was very quiet, with only the sounds of burning flames and the pill formulas falling into the cauldron, extracting the essence of the herbs in subtle movements.

Everyone was watching this scene.

In full view of the crowd, refining a sacred grade pill was the first occurrence in the ancient land for hundreds of years.

Jin Shanshun stood on an elevated ground, with his sister Jin Zhimo standing beside him. This girl always remembered the wager with Ye Qiu.

"I will definitely reach the peak of the Mythical realm within a year. There are six months left; if I break through three more realms, I will meet your requirements. By then, I’ll also want to learn alchemy." Jin Zhimo’s eyes filled with determination. She believed that one day she would become an Alchemist like Ye Qiu.

Jin Shanshun glanced at his somewhat excited sister, shook his head with a sigh, and said no more. Having followed Ye Qiu for so long, he had some understanding of alchemy. Making pills was far from easy.

"This girl, she will have her struggles."

In the sky, due to the alchemy of the sacred grade pill, before the pill was even finished, dark clouds began to gather, making everyone even more curious about whether the pill could be successfully refined.

Among them, Wu Yang was the most nervous. Whether he could further advance was dependent on Ye Qiu’s success with this cauldron of sacred grade pill.
