Nine Revolutions Star Technique

”How do you know?”

Purple Cloud’s eyes were almost popping out of his head as he continuously sized up Ye Qingchen, his eyes seemingly trying to see through him completely.

”Master Purple Cloud, could what he says be true?”

Elder Gu was about to shoo him away.

But upon seeing the Purple Cloud Alchemist’s demeanor, his heart was filled with uncertainty.

”This... young friend speaks correctly! Not a single word is wrong!”

Purple Cloud’s face was full of bitterness.

”Twelve years ago, by accident, I incurred this cold poison. It strikes at midnight every day, causing the blood in my body to freeze and my bones to turn to ice. Initially, it was very minor, but it gradually worsened, eventually spreading throughout my body.”

”Even with a lifetime of learning, I have been unable to cure it.”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Qingchen in amazement.

Bear in mind.

This matter he had never mentioned to anyone, not even his disciples knew about it.

But how did Ye Qingchen know?

And Ye Qingchen stood there, his expression calm.

Bear in mind.

Mastery of the Alchemy Dao and the Martial Dao leads to versatile knowledge; he had already reached the Celestial Saint Fifth Layer, bearing the Nine Revolutions Star Technique and the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, and had also inherited the lifetime learning of the Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint, so what he knew naturally far surpassed common imagination.

He calmly glanced at Purple Cloud and said, ”If you can’t even solve your own problem, how can you heal others without becoming a laughingstock?”

Purple Cloud was taken aback.

Ye Qingchen’s words struck directly at his heart.

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu frowned, just about to scold. But Purple Cloud sighed deeply, bowed respectfully to Ye Qingchen, and said, ”Mr. Ye, I failed to recognize Mount Tai, dare I ask, if Jiang Yuntian isn’t poisoned, then what is the condition?”

His grand gesture startled everyone in the hall.

Elder Gu hurried forward to assist, ”Master Purple Cloud, why such a big gesture to this boy...”

Purple Cloud sighed:

”As the saying goes, regardless of seniority, he who achieves is a master. Mr. Ye, being able to see the cold poison on me, is already superior to me. As for Jiang Yuntian’s condition, I am at my wit’s end. Whether he can be healed depends on Mr. Ye’s willingness.”

The crowd found it even more unbelievable upon hearing this.

Understandably.

To everyone, the Purple Cloud Alchemist was already a national alchemist expert, a settled verdict; who dared question it? And young Ye Qingchen, barely seventeen or eighteen, seemed incomparable to a master.

”Ye Qingchen, please save my father!”

Jiang Churan, as if grasping a lifeline, urgently pleaded.

And those who had witnessed Ye Qingchen tread the sky and slay the dragon on the sea suddenly snapped back and collectively bowed respectfully, ”Please, Mr. Ye, lend a hand!”

”Please, Mr. Ye, lend a hand!”

In an instant.

The entire hall, everyone bowed.

The long silence was so still only a pin drop could be heard.

Elder Gu, no matter how seasoned, was speechless with shock.

”How is this possible...”

He never expected that this boy, whom he had just mocked, had suddenly transformed into a master even the Purple Cloud Alchemist must defer to.

Moreover, everyone knew the proficiency of the Purple Cloud Pill Dao, and with Ye Qingchen being far above Purple Cloud, what manner of existence was he?

Thinking of this, he too bowed deeply:

”Please, Mr. Ye, lend a hand!”

”If it were anyone else, even if they knelt before me, I wouldn’t spare a glance.” Ye Qingchen lightly glanced at Elder Gu, ”But for Jiang Churan’s sake, I’ll help this once!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu felt a surge of shame and anger.

But Ye Qingchen paid him no mind and proceeded to Jiang Yuntian’s side.

Jiang Yuntian, at this moment, had a face full of dark clouds, eyes tightly closed, his breath weak like a wisp. Even those ignorant of medicine or Alchemy Dao could see that he didn’t have much time left.

”Mr. Ye, can you explain what’s wrong with Jiang Yuntian?”

Purple Cloud cautiously asked.

”He isn’t poisoned, but during a confrontation, his heart vessel was injured. The opponent left a trace of Yin Evil Qi in him, like a cold venomous snake lingering, hauntingly ever-present, able to absorb True Qi and Spiritual Qi to strengthen itself!”

Ye Qingchen spoke calmly.

”The injury wouldn’t have been so severe initially, but you treated it as poisoning and even used the Turtle Bead to refine pills, essentially nourishing this trace of True Qi, causing it to grow hundreds of times stronger in an instant!”

Upon hearing this, everyone nearly bit their tongues in shock.

Purple Cloud was filled with unbearable shame.

In the beginning, to save Jiang Yuntian, he didn’t know how many Antitoxic Pills he administered. Still, each time he took them, the symptoms worsened rather than alleviated.

He always thought it was due to insufficient drug efficacy and thus decided to use the Turtle Bead for refining pills, intending to completely neutralize the toxins.

”What should we do then?”

Jiang Churan asked anxiously.

”To save him, we must force out all the Yin Evil Qi from his body!”

Ye Qingchen pondered for a moment, frowning slightly, ”Previously, expelling this Yin Evil Qi would have been easy. But after swallowing the Turtle Pill, this previously scattered Yin Evil Qi has converged, now forming a dragon-like shape, deeply entrenched!”

”Mr. Ye, do you mean even you can’t do it?”

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s demeanor, Purple Cloud’s heart sank.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

Purple Cloud is already the best alchemist in Celestial Sea Continent! And Ye Qingchen is even more powerful than Purple Cloud. But if even Ye Qingchen is at a loss, who else could possibly succeed?

Thinking of this, they all sighed slightly.

Originally, believing Ye Qingchen would save the day, they never expected even he was powerless; it seemed Jiang Yuntian was doomed indeed!

Jiang Churan was in tears upon hearing this.

Elder Gu’s face was also as pale as paper, seemingly unable to accept it.

”Please accept my condolences!” Purple Cloud sighed, ”This matter arose from my misdiagnosis. I should be responsible for it...”

Just when everyone felt despondent, Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow, curiously saying, ”Why grieve? Why resign? Jiang Yuntian isn’t dead. I haven’t acted yet, and you’ve already assumed I can’t save him?”

Everyone was stunned, and Purple Cloud was even more surprised, ”Mr. Ye, didn’t you just say that the Yin Evil Qi has formed a dragon shape...”

”I only said it’s tricky but not incurable.”

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Ye Qingchen stepped forward with large strides, placing his palm on Jiang Yuntian’s chest.

As everyone watched in confusion, unsure of what Ye Qingchen intended to do, they saw his eyes light up with electricity, his long hair lift, his robes flutter, billowing out.

Then, with a firm grip of his five fingers, he suddenly shouted forcefully:

”Come out!”

”Roar!”

A fierce dragon roar resounded from the void.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. In the depths of countless eyes, Jiang Yuntian’s body suddenly erupted with a vast swirling black mist, which surged and transformed into a black dragon.

Fangs bared, fearsome and prominent!
