Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 187: Chapter 188: Back from the Dead

The Pill Exchange Meeting ended in a way no one could have anticipated.

Countless people left with their minds shaken.

Just like that.

As everyone departed.

The events that occurred at this meeting once again swept through, almost spreading across the entirety of Daqian Country overnight, and rapidly extending to other parts of the Cyan Continent.

Dongfang Yu and Zhou Long Army, disciples of the top two alchemists on the Cyan Continent, naturally had remarkable alchemy skills. Moreover, the two joined forces and harnessed the pill power of hundreds of alchemists to target Ye Qingchen.

Such momentum could only be withstood by those top alchemists.

However.

Ye Qingchen not only withstood the assault, but even under their sweeping attack, he crafted a Celestial Profound Pill!

This is yet another top alchemist about to rise!

Many couldn’t help but marvel.

Youquan Sect.

Square.

A figure was rapidly dancing, none other than Zhu Yun. The sword in his hand flashed quickly, bringing forth a chilling sword light, with just a wave of his hand, the whole hundred-meter radius was filled with dancing sword shadows.

Next to the field, two similar-looking women stood. One gentle and graceful, the other lively and spirited.

”What’s wrong, are you still thinking of him?” Feng Wu looked at the silent Feng Wan and shook her head. Since the end of the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, Feng Wan had often been absent-minded.

Feng Wan’s expression was slightly unnatural but she still nodded.

”Alas, we were wrong!” Feng Wu recalled the scene of that day, ”Ye Qingchen’s strength was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. Who would have thought he had such power!”

Speaking of this.

Feng Wu was filled with regret.

If they hadn’t been so arrogant that day, continually looking down upon Ye Qingchen, Feng Wan and Ye Qingchen wouldn’t have completely severed ties.

”Sister, you don’t need to blame yourself, how could someone with such dual excellence in pill and martial arts even consider me?” A trace of sadness flashed in Feng Wan’s eyes.

Clang!

As soon as these words fell.

The sword edge in Zhu Yun’s hand collected, the thousand dancing sword shadows quietly converged, all nestled into the scabbard.

”Who says Ye Qingchen is unrivaled in both pill and martial arts?” Zhu Yun stepped forward, defiantly saying: ”It’s merely false rumors, who has seen him concoct pills? If simply crafting some unworthy pills can brand someone as unparalleled, then I could claim the same!”

Regarding Ye Qingchen’s strength, Zhu Yun dared not entertain any illusions.

Too strong!

Even Mu Qianshan from Blood Rain Tower wasn’t his match. But if only to say Ye Qingchen is unmatched in pill and martial arts, he found it hard to agree, having yet to see Ye Qingchen engage in alchemy himself, should they rely solely on rumors?

Feng Wu also secretly nodded.

Her heart harbored doubts as well.

But after the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, Ye Qingchen’s fame was too overwhelming.

After all.

Whether concocting or cultivating, both required enormous effort. Ye Qingchen’s strength was already formidable, how would he find time to delve into the Alchemy Dao?

Just then, a disciple hurriedly ran over, whispering a few words.

”Is it true?”

Feng Wu’s complexion changed dramatically after listening.

”Sister, what’s wrong?” Feng Wan asked quickly.

Zhu Yun also showed curiosity.

Feng Wan’s expression fluctuated several times, finally sighed: ”At the Pill Exchange Meeting held in Lingzhou City, Ye Qingchen, amidst Dongfang Yu and Zhou Long Army’s encirclement, crafted a Profound Grade Top-level Profound Celestial Pill!”

As the words fell.

Zhu Yun’s face changed, suddenly standing still, looking devastated.

Ultimately.

Countless words summed up to a long sigh:

”So, there truly exists someone unmatched in both pill and martial arts in this world!”

Such news spread rapidly to all corners of Daqian Country. Various sects and families shared the following conversation:

”Have you heard of Ye Qingchen, who is unmatched in pill and martial arts?”

”What unrivaled? It’s merely a mention during the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference! Do you believe it?”

”It’s true! At the Pill Exchange Meeting, he even publicly crafted a Profound Celestial Pill, amidst Dongfang Yu and Zhou Long Army’s encirclement. Dongfang Yu died and Zhou Long Army was injured, even Hua Yuntian and Mu Shanhe died!”

”This...”

Listeners were horrified, unable to believe it.

...

Lingzhou City, outskirts of the Chaotic Burial Mound.

A few figures sneaked over under the cover of night, seemingly searching for something.

”Found it!”

Suddenly.

A low shout was heard.

Immediately, several figures rushed toward the source of the sound.

And saw.

A pale corpse lay there. A sword mark pierced through the chest.

It was none other than Mu Shanhe.

”Who would have thought this would happen? The top alchemist of the Cyan Continent, ending up exposed in the wilderness!” One person sighed.

”Stop sighing, quickly see if he has any valuable items on him! Find one, and we strike it rich!” Another man with a knife scar on his face whispered.

This group.

Ever since finding out Mu Shanhe’s body location, they hastily came over.

After all.

Mu Shanhe held high status in life, surely possessing valuable items. If they found one, they would not worry about food and clothes.

”Boss, why are Mu Shanhe’s eyes so wide, could he possibly not be dead?” A young man looked at Mu Shanhe’s body, feeling eerie.

Especially from any angle, Mu Shanhe seemed to be staring at him, almost making his scalp tingle.

”Perhaps he died with unresolved grudges!” That knife-scarred man saw others hesitate, so he stepped forward himself, and as he reached out to touch Mu Shanhe’s body.

Suddenly.

A cold, pale hand, without warning, grabbed him.

”Boom!”

The crowd quickly looked over.

Eyes narrowing.

The hand belonged to Mu Shanhe.

”Ah!”

A scream tore through the night.

But quickly, it fell silent.

Mu Shanhe slowly rose from the ground, seeing the desiccated corpses of the tomb robbers, weakly sat on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, quickly taking out an item from his bosom.

It was a black token, resembling stone or metal.

Only the front had a ’卐’ symbol.

”Looks like what that grown-up said was true... this token, truly saves a life at a critical moment! If it weren’t for this token, I would’ve died at Ye Qingchen’s hands!”

Mu Shanhe clenched his five fingers, tightened around the token, his eyes revealing infinite venom and hatred.

”Ye Qingchen!”

”Since I’m not dead, don’t think you can live! When you fall into my hands, I will tear you to pieces!”

”Even if you are unmatched in pill and martial arts, so what?”

”Can you still face that being from Abyssal Valley in Tongxuan Continent?”

Mu Shanhe abruptly stood, walked toward the distance.

Within moments.

His figure was completely swallowed by darkness.
