Chapter 283: Mu En & Du Busi: This Continent Has Finally Become Something I No Longer Recognize
At the same time, Ning Xiuyuan's admiration for his ancestor deepened even further.
As expected of someone who had once been a god and was cultivating again. In such a short time, she had managed to recruit a Limit Douluo specializing in healing.
With Ye Qingxian's presence, the newly established Nine Treasure Empire was no longer so unstable and had finally begun to gain momentum.
After being appointed as the Imperial Preceptor of the Nine Treasure Empire, Ye Qingxian immediately began putting her plans into motion.
"Prime Minister Ning, I hereby issue my first command as Imperial Preceptor, and it is also the most important one."
"Construct an organization called the Pill Hall in every major city throughout the Nine Treasure Empire."
"I want the entire continent to understand what a true alchemy system is."
"At the same time, send invitations to every major force on the continent and have them dispatch representatives to the Pill Hall in Nine Treasure City."
"I will personally refine pills before them and demonstrate the true wonders of alchemy, allowing the world to understand that the path of alchemy is a supreme path."
Hearing that Ye Qingxian intended to refine pills, Ning Xiuyuan harbored no doubts whatsoever.
He immediately turned and left to carry out her orders.
After all...
She was a Limit Douluo.
Anything she chose to do surely had a reason behind it.
After Ning Xiuyuan departed, Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward and began massaging Ye Qingxian's shoulders.
Even while doing so, she didn't forget to flatter her teacher.
"Teacher, allow your disciple to congratulate you in advance. Your path to godhood is now completely smooth. I believe it won't be long before you create your own god position, ascend to godhood, and suppress the ages."
Even Ye Qingxian, whose composure was usually excellent, felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing such exaggerated praise.
This was only the beginning.
Yet her disciple was already celebrating her ascension to godhood.
It was far too early.
With a flick of her hand, a tri-colored pill radiating a rich medicinal fragrance appeared in Ye Qingxian's palm.
"Rongrong, you've been a great help to your teacher."
"This is your reward."
"It's an immortal-grade pill."
"Although it can't evolve your martial soul any further, it can raise your soul power by a considerable amount without any side effects, saving you at least a year's worth of cultivation."
After saying that, Ye Qingxian handed the Immortal Grade pill to Ning Rongrong.
"Yay! Thank you, Teacher! You're the best! I love you the most!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled as she accepted the pill.
She hugged it tightly, even planting kisses on it while repeatedly thanking Ye Qingxian.
...
Meanwhile, after leaving the palace, Ning Xiuyuan immediately ordered the construction of Pill Halls throughout the empire.
He also spread news across the continent that Ye Qingxian would publicly demonstrate the Dao of Alchemy.
In addition...
He deliberately released news that Ye Qingxian was a Limit Douluo.
His purpose was to intimidate the various nations and buy the Nine Treasure Empire more time to breathe.
Ning Xiuyuan firmly believed that as long as they survived this most difficult period...
Then once their ancestor became a god again...
The Nine Treasure Empire would enter an era of unprecedented glory.
As time passed...
The news spread throughout the continent and reached countless powerful factions.
...
Shrek Academy.
"A healing-type Limit Douluo?"
"Is this still the continent I know?"
"How have so many Limit Douluo suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"
After hearing the news, Mu En was completely dumbfounded.
He himself had lived for more than two hundred years as a Limit Douluo.
With such vast experience, he should have known every expert of the same level.
Yet the truth was...
The regal female Limit Douluo who had previously taken thirty percent of Shrek Academy's resources...
He had never seen her before.
And now...
The Nine Treasure Empire had produced another healing-type Limit Douluo whom he had likewise never heard of.
"How strange."
"Still, the predecessor of the Nine Treasure Empire was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and our Shrek Academy has always maintained close ties with them."
"Perhaps we can establish an alliance and jointly deter the Sun Moon Empire, ensuring Shrek Academy's continued survival."
Mu En quickly formed a plan.
The appearance of another Limit Douluo would greatly affect the balance of power across the continent.
Even if she specialized in healing...
Every Limit Douluo was an extraordinary existence.
No ordinary Peak Douluo could compare.
...
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, who was traveling across the continent, also heard the news that Ye Qingxian intended to publicly refine pills in Nine Treasure City.
"Xue'er, Ah Zi."
"Let's go find Ye Qingxian."
"It just so happens that we haven't seen her for quite some time."
Bibi Dong made the suggestion.
"Sounds good. We can help Sister Qingxian make a grand appearance so that none of the continent's factions will dare provoke the Pill Hall."
Qian Renxue immediately agreed.
At this moment, she was already wondering whether she should establish a Spirit Hall in this world as well, allowing the glory of the Spirit Hall to spread throughout The Unrivaled Tang Sect world.
...
Body Sect.
"A healing-type Limit Douluo?"
"This continent truly is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Just how many secrets are there that I, Du Busi, still don't know?"
After learning about Ye Qingxian's cultivation, Du Busi couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.
Having lived for so many years, he now had the distinct feeling that he could no longer see through this continent.
...
Star Luo Empire.
Imperial Palace.
"A healing-type Limit Douluo..."
"The Nine Treasure Empire has hidden its strength remarkably well."
"Now I finally understand part of the confidence behind the founding of the Nine Treasure Empire."
"But..."
"What other hidden foundations are you still concealing?"
Xu Jiawei's eyes gleamed as he tried to see through the empire established by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Jiujiu, go to Nine Treasure City on your imperial brother's behalf and take a look at this new alchemy system."
Xu Jiawei turned toward the figure concealed behind a curtain.
"Understood, Imperial Brother."
"Leave it to me."
A graceful female voice answered.
...
Sun Moon Continent.
Hongchen Clan Estate.
"The Mistress Qingxian is establishing the Pill Hall?"
"How could I, Ye Hongchen, possibly fail to show my support?"
Upon hearing the news, Ye Hongchen immediately summoned his descendant, Jing Hongchen.
"Xiao Jing."
"Your ancestor is about to grant you an enormous opportunity."
"Whether you can seize it depends entirely on you."
The moment Jing Hongchen heard those words, his eyes lit up as he eagerly waited for his ancestor to continue.
"You've already heard about the Limit Douluo in Nine Treasure City publicly refining pills, haven't you?"
"That is your great opportunity."
"Ancestor... are you saying we should rob—"
Before Jing Hongchen could finish speaking, Ye Hongchen smacked him on the forehead.
"You unfilial descendant!"
"Why is robbery the only thing that ever comes to your mind?"
"That is Lord Yun Yuan's wife."
"The Mistress Qingxian of our Hongchen Clan."
"If you show sufficient respect and earn Mistress Qingxian's favor in this world, then when Lord Yun Yuan descends..."
"You certainly won't lack rewards."
"With Lord Yun Yuan's generous personality, he might even bestow two or three god positions upon the Hongchen Clan of this timeline."
"Now do you understand just how precious the opportunity I'm giving you really is?"
Ye Hongchen patiently lectured Jing Hongchen.
Jing Hongchen's earlier words had nearly made him faint from anger.
How could he have such an unperceptive descendant?
The boy hadn't inherited even half of his wisdom.
"God positions?"
"Two... or three of them?"
Upon hearing that possible reward, Jing Hongchen nearly went crazy with excitement.
He finally understood why his ancestor revered the legendary Lord Yun Yuan so deeply.
These were the positions of immortal gods!
"Ancestor, I understand now."
"During this trip to Nine Treasure City, if I discover anyone showing disrespect toward Mistress Qingxian..."
"I'll let them have a taste of Illustrious Virtue Hall's soul cannon artillery!"
