Nine Revolutions Star Technique

In the following few days, a brief tranquility ensued. Zheng Jiuling was still trying every means to open the entrance, while Ye Qingchen had already handed over the refined pills to Han Buxiu.

Just as Ye Qingchen had predicted, after taking the foundational pills, Han Buxiu quickly restored his essence and stepped directly into the Human Immortal Ninth Layer on the third day.

”Tomorrow, we can enter the tomb!”

That night.

Ye Qingchen set up a small table in the backyard, watching Han Buxiu meditating in front of him.

With his eyes tightly shut, Han Buxiu’s face was blackened, and a misty haze was churning above his head. He was expelling the last of the foul blood from his body, and once purged, he would face no further obstacles in his cultivation journey.

A moment later!

Han Buxiu abruptly opened his eyes and spat out a black arrow of blood.

Immediately, his aura started to stabilize.

”Mr. Ye’s technique is simply breathtaking!” A round of applause echoed softly. Under the moonlight, Tang Yue approached, followed closely by a young girl in purple attire.

”It’s just a little alchemy trick! City Lord Tang, please have a seat!” Ye Qingchen waved his hand casually.

”You’re too modest, Mr. Ye!”

Tang Yue replied with a wry smile.

Previously.

He only thought Ye Qingchen was exceptionally talented in cultivation, but as they interacted, he discovered that Ye Qingchen was also an Alchemy Master, able to help Han Buxiu reach the Human Immortal Ninth Layer within a few days!

This level of skill was unheard of and unseen.

The foundation pills given to him by the other party had been meticulously studied by his people, and neither their quality nor effects were something a regular alchemist could produce!

Such a bottle of pills could easily buy more than half of Extreme Wilderness City!

”City Lord Tang, what brings you here at such a late hour?” Ye Qingchen said blandly.

”Mr. Ye, this is my daughter, Tang Mei’Er. She just returned from the Cold Water Sect today. She heard we are exploring an Earth Immortal Tomb tomorrow and wishes to join us. However, as you know, the Earth Immortal’s Tomb is exceedingly dangerous, and I would like to ask Mr. Ye to look after her along the way.”

Tang Yue said with a smile.

”Oh?”

Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged, having already guessed Tang Yue’s intentions.

However.

Before he could speak, Tang Mei’Er snorted, saying, ”Him? A cultivator of the Human Immortal Fifth Layer, whose cultivation is lower than mine. Is he supposed to look after me, or am I supposed to look after him?”

Ye Qingchen hadn’t hidden his cultivation level, so Tang Mei’Er could see it at a glance.

”What do you know? Mr. Ye is a disciple of Taotian Palace and a protégé of Su Moran!” Tang Yue said in rebuke.

”So what? My Cold Water Sect is not much inferior to Taotian Palace! I initially heard that Father had invited two high disciples from Taotian Palace to help, so I came to see, but it turns out to be nothing much!”

Tang Mei’Er finished speaking, gave Ye Qingchen a cold look, and left the backyard directly.

”This girl... Mr. Ye, please forgive her.” Tang Yue said awkwardly, full of apology, ”I’ve spoiled her, letting her develop such an arrogant personality!”

”It’s of no concern!”

Ye Qingchen was unfazed, ”Since City Lord Tang has said so, I’ll watch over her during tomorrow’s tomb exploration.”

”Thank you very much, Mr. Ye!” Tang Yue said with delight.

The night passed without further conversation.

At dawn the next day.

The Tang family was already prepared in full force, as this exploration of the Earth Immortal Tomb involved a significant number of people. Apart from over two hundred Human Immortals, there were many accompanying attendants, nearly reaching five hundred in total.

This scene nearly amused Ye Qingchen.

In his usual tomb explorations and secret realm searches, he mostly went alone. Such a formation was unheard of. Fortunately, the Tang family raised a type of mystical beast—the Keduo Giant Beast!

This giant beast resembled a rhinoceros but was dozens of times larger, with legs like massive pillars and a huge house on its back, looking like a moving palace from a distance.

Moreover, this beast had the strength of a Human Immortal, with horns that could channel heaven and earth and summon lightning, making it unstoppable even by ordinary Human Immortals.

”When I return to Taotian Palace, I’ll raise a Keduo Giant Beast too!” Han Buxiu stood atop the beast, admiring it.

”What’s the point of raising it? All show and no substance!” Ye Qingchen shook his head. ”This beast looks fierce but is rather foolish. If it encounters a nimble demon beast, it’ll just be a passive target!”

Han Buxiu was dumbfounded at this.

But Tang Mei’Er, standing nearby, was not having it. The Keduo Giant Beast was a property of the Tang family, and Ye Qingchen criticizing it was like a slap in their face. Besides, her father, Tang Yue, had been subtly encouraging her to get closer to Ye Qingchen, which already irked her.

So she immediately jumped up, pointing at Ye Qingchen and said:

”What’s wrong with the beast? It is a Human Immortal Sixth and Seventh Layers beast, stronger than your cultivation, capable of stomping you to death in a single step! Could it be inferior to that Three-tailed Demon Fox you raised?”

Ye Qingchen had not yet spoken, but the Three-tailed Fox was not happy. It glanced coldly at Tang Mei’Er, letting out a snort:

”Hmph!”

Instantly.

The Keduo Giant Beast, initially moving leisurely like an old ox pulling a cart, let out a terrified howl, as if chased by a monstrous predator, and fled frantically despite everything.

”Boom!” ”Boom!” ”Boom!”

The whole ground seemed to transform into a vast drum, echoing thunderously with each step of the beast.

”What’s happening?”

”The beast is going berserk!”

”Hurry, calm the beast down...”

The people within the palace on the beast’s back cried out in alarm. Tang Yue quickly flew to the beast’s head, continuously using Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to calm it down, gradually bringing the raging beast under control.

If the beast were to completely lose control, the Tang family might suffer heavy losses before even reaching the tomb. Seeing Tang Yue calming the beast, Tang Mei’Er was just about to breathe a sigh of relief but then saw Ye Qingchen’s barely suppressed laughter, which made her raise her eyebrows in anger:

”Ye Qingchen, you must be behind this!”

”Oh, what evidence do you have?” Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows, smiling knowingly.

”My Tang family has kept these beasts for years, and something like this has never happened. It must have been you who caused it right after our conversation!”

Tang Mei’Er was furious, nearly fuming out of her nose.

This kid’s cultivation realm might not be high, but he sure knows some unconventional tricks, annoyingly infuriating.

Ye Qingchen cast a casual glance at the Three-tailed Fox, becoming a bit impatient: ”Even if it was me, what can you do about it?”

”You!”

Tang Mei’Er could no longer suppress her anger, and with a swipe of her hand, a Profound Ice Longsword was unsheathed in a cold flash.

”Ye Qingchen, do you dare to fight me?”

Her eyes were cold and sharp as a blade.
