Chapter 46: Soul Ascension Pill Completed, The Path of Alchemy Takes Shape!
Seeing her daughter arrive, Ye Zhiyun revealed a faint smile and brought the bright young girl to her side, having her greet Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Qingxian, these are two elders from Spirit Hall, both Soul Douluo-level experts, Elder Yue and Elder Gui."
Then, she turned her gaze toward Yun Yuan.
"This is the youngest Holy Son in the history of Spirit Hall, a peerless genius. Qingxian, come and greet them."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxian looked at the three of them in shock. She had not expected their backgrounds to be so extraordinary.
Although Yue Guan and Gui Mei were only Soul Douluo, across the entire Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo were legendary existences.
For example, decades later, among the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only one Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had only Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
For the Nine-Heart Begonia family, let alone Titled Douluo, even Soul Douluo was already a figure beyond reach.
That was why, after learning the strength of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Ye Qingxian was so shocked.
"Greetings, Elder Yue. Greetings, Elder Gui."
After greeting the two, she looked toward Yun Yuan.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son."
Seeing how young Yun Yuan looked, Ye Qingxian felt another wave of shock in her heart.
According to her mother, Yun Yuan was the youngest Holy Son in Spirit Hall's history. His talent must surpass all previous Holy Sons.
If so, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future should be easy for the boy before her.
Titled Douluo, the dream of every soul master. She, Ye Qingxian, also wanted to become a nine-ring Titled Douluo in the future.
Looking at Ye Qingxian, Yun Yuan could not help but feel curious. He had originally thought her personality would be cold and aloof.
But now, she is a lively and warm girl. He truly did not know why, in the future, her daughter Ye Lingling would have a completely opposite personality.
After getting acquainted with the mother and daughter who possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul, Yun Yuan naturally had serious matters to attend to.
In the following days, he studied alchemy under Ye Zhiyun, the head of the Nine-Heart Begonia family.
After hundreds of years of accumulated research, the Nine-Heart Begonia family had developed their own unique understanding of alchemy.
Many pills suitable for low-level soul masters had already been developed by them, though the success rate was not high and could not yet be widely popularized.
Under Ye Zhiyun's guidance, Yun Yuan's alchemy method gradually improved, far faster than his own isolated study in Spirit Hall.
This also made Yun Yuan sigh in admiration. On the path of cultivation, having a guide truly saved a great deal of trial and error.
Time passed in a flash. Yun Yuan stayed in the Ye family for a full three months.
Inside the alchemy room.
Ye Zhiyun, Ye Qingxian, and Yun Yuan were all present. Yun Yuan was refining pills. Ye Zhiyun observed from the side, while Ye Qingxian assisted him.
"Mother, do you think Xiao Yuan will succeed?"
Watching Yun Yuan carefully refining pills, Ye Qingxian could not help but ask.
Hearing her daughter's question, memories of the past three months flashed through Ye Zhiyun's eyes.
During these three months, she had fully experienced Yun Yuan's comprehension, truly unmatched in the world.
In just three months, she had almost nothing left to teach him. Yun Yuan had already formed his own framework in alchemy and walked his own path.
Perhaps before long, another alchemy master would emerge on the Douluo Continent.
"Qingxian, he will succeed."
Ye Zhiyun's tone was firm, without the slightest doubt. The more she understood Yun Yuan, the more she felt a sense of helplessness. How could such a person exist in this world?
Aside from alchemy, she even felt that, in the future, the soul master world might also be suppressed by this slightly youthful boy before her.
Hearing her mother say this, Ye Qingxian focused her attention on Yun Yuan. Not long after, waves of pill fragrance drifted out from the furnace. Just one breath of it brought a sense of delight.
"So amazing… he's so young and can already refine pills, while I still can't even recognize all the herbs."
Seeing that Yun Yuan had successfully formed the pill, admiration appeared in Ye Qingxian's eyes.
They were both human, yet why was Yun Yuan so outstanding while she seemed so ordinary?
As for Yun Yuan, he would say that most of his success came from his talent and comprehension, while a small part came from his effort.
Having been reborn, he did not want to live an ordinary life again. He wanted to climb step by step to the peak of the Douluo Continent, becoming someone whose every word and action could influence the world.
After completing the pill, Yun Yuan stood up and took out his latest creation from the furnace.
The Soul Ascension Pill. Its effect was to unconditionally raise the soul power rank of a soul master below rank 30 by one rank.
However, it had a limitation. It could only be taken once. After one use, it would no longer have any effect.
"Xiao Yuan, this is your Soul Ascension Pill, isn't it? I didn't expect that, in just three months, you would already develop a new pill formula, and such an important one for soul masters at that."
"If your Soul Ascension Pill enters the market, it will likely be priceless."
Looking at the golden pill in Yun Yuan's hand, Ye Zhiyun sighed in admiration.
Her words were not exaggerated. A Soul Ascension Pill that unconditionally raises one rank below rank 30 would save a great deal of cultivation time for disciples of major forces.
For that amount of time, forces across the continent would not hesitate to spend vast sums because the most precious period of cultivation for a soul master was before the age of thirty.
"Aunt Yun, this is all thanks to you. Without your wholehearted guidance over these three months, I wouldn't have created this formula so quickly."
During these three months, Yun Yuan's path in alchemy had taken its initial shape. What remained was to spend time refining and improving it further.
In the future, Yun Yuan had two major plans. One was to refine pills using immortal herbs. Only then could his alchemy truly be considered complete.
The second was to perfect the alchemy system and spread it across the continent with Spirit Hall as the core. He wanted to build Spirit Hall into something like the Pill Tower from another world.
This would benefit both him and Spirit Hall.
Next, Yun Yuan looked at the Soul Ascension Pill in his palm, realizing it was the perfect time to take it.
His soul power rank had already reached rank 27, very close to rank 30. If he waited until after reaching rank 30, the pill would lose its effect.
The next moment,
Yun Yuan placed the Soul Ascension Pill into his mouth. It melted instantly, turning into streams of energy that fused into his body.
After more than half an hour, Yun Yuan refined the pill. His soul power rank rose from rank 27 to rank 28, only two ranks away from obtaining another soul ring and becoming a Soul Elder.
"Hoo…"
"Refreshing. Everything is progressing just as expected. This feeling is truly wonderful."
