Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with a conquest of Medusa, Xiao Yan is stunned.

This is so embarrassing!

"Hehe~ This little Yanzi, he's quite the player!"

Ye Feng smiled at Xiao Yan. Although this little guy is now an eighth-grade alchemist, he still relies on Yao Chen.

........................

Chapter 459 My confidante, Yao Chen, has fallen for Ye Feng?

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xiao Yanzi's Dan Lei changed from its original five colors to cyan, a move that left everyone speechless.

But there was nothing that could be said, because although what they did was ridiculous, the fact was that it was indeed Ishikawa Danrai, and that could not be denied.

Compared to Dan Chen and Cao Ying, Xiao Yan may be slightly less skilled, but he is still a genuine eighth-grade alchemist, and naturally he can earn the envy and respect of countless people.

Of course, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Xiao Yan was able to refine an eighth-grade pill entirely because of his teacher, Yao Chen.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen glanced at Xiao Yan but didn't pay much attention to him after that. After all, in their eyes, only Ye Feng was a man who could catch their eye.

"..."

Xiao Yan was enjoying himself at the moment. After all, he had at least gained the opportunity to be the center of attention at the Pill Gathering. Even if he couldn't be the first, it was still much better than before.

After so many tragic experiences over the years, Xiao Yan has come to understand that one should not be too arrogant. If one tries to take advantage of someone else, one will end up in a very, very bad situation.

Even if my memories return, I can only pretend I don't know anything in order to survive better. I need to develop stealthily and avoid recklessness!

"Humph~"

However, just as Ye Feng was feeling smug, the old man Mu Gu curled up a cold smile and let out a cold snort.

Clearly, he didn't care about Xiao Yan and the other two women.

"Two little girls, plus this kid who's got some skills, but is that all they're capable of as Yao Chen's disciple?"

The old monster Qinghua's gaze swept over the three of them, his eyes gleaming, and he said disdainfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old monster Qinghua opened the medicine cauldron, and immediately a beam of light shot into the sky, causing a violent churning that condensed into three colors of pill lightning.

These three colors are even redder than Cao Ying's pale red, which proves that even Cao Ying's pills are slightly inferior to those refined by the Old Monster Qinghua.

"It's also a three-colored pill lightning! No wonder he's the Qinghua Old Monster! It seems it will be very difficult for anyone present to surpass him."

“Who says otherwise? Two-colored Dan Lei alone is something neither you nor I have ever seen before, I never expected to see three-colored…”

"what?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Elder Mu Gu burst into a strange laugh:

"Hehehe~ Sorry, Feng Ye, Xuan Kongzi, it seems this year's Alchemy Competition champion will be mine! Hahahaha~"

The laughter was made no attempt to conceal itself, and even the old man Mu Gu made no attempt to hide his identity, referring to himself as "this old man!"

A young man calling himself "old man"—the scene was utterly absurd and completely baffling.

"Who is this person?"

"He calls himself an old man, could he also be an old monster?"

"Wait a minute! Isn't he the Ye family's son-in-law? How could he be..."

"Oh no! His identity has changed. This is terrible. I'm afraid the Dan Tower is going to lose all face this time!"

Some were confused, while others were quick-witted. Based on the previous deaths of many alchemists in the alchemy world and their speculations, they immediately thought of that terrifying force, the Soul Palace!

As the laughter subsided, Elder Mu Gu flicked his finger, and an extremely terrifying beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, bringing with it a vast and turbulent energy like a laser beam.

"Heh heh~ The disciples taught by Yao Chen are nothing special. Pavilion Master Feng, although your strength is great, your alchemy skills are far inferior to mine!"

"Hahahaha~"

The moment the vast pillar of light shot into the sky, the chilling laughter of Elder Mu Gu made Xiao Yan's face immediately darken.

They all refine their own pills, but this old bastard dared to openly humiliate him. This time, at least the Pavilion Master didn't have to play with him. How did such a piece of trash come out?

"Who are you? Why..."

"Sigh~ There's no need to say anything more about Xiao Yanzi. I already know his identity. Junior Brother Mu Gu, I've been waiting for this day for far too long!"

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Yao Chen emerged from his storage ring, his fleeting shadow causing astonishment among the crowd.

"Master Medicine!!!"

Others may not be very clear about Yao Chen's appearance, but Qinghua Old Monster has a deep memory of him, as do the three giants.

Upon seeing their old friend appear, many old monsters wore relieved smiles. They had finally seen this old monster who was supposed to be dead, but wasn't quite dead yet.

"Master Medicine, I never imagined that you, who were once so full of vigor, would become like this today."

Old Monster Qinghua sighed helplessly, feeling great regret for the existence that had once defeated him.

"Old monster, it's been a long time, but your alchemy skills haven't improved much either~"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yao Chen didn't hesitate and laughed.

"you……"

Hearing Yao Chen say that, Qing Hua couldn't sit still any longer. If he hadn't also seen through the young man's identity, he would definitely have stood with him and fought against this shameless old man.

"You old bastard, aren't you afraid that Mu Gu and I will join forces to annihilate you?"

"You will not!"

Yao Chen still had absolute confidence in himself; one could say he was still very confident in his judgment.

But is he still able to judge people accurately these days?

"Medicine dust..."

Mu Gu let out a chilling laugh like a night owl, accompanied by the sound of gritting his teeth.

It's fair to say that Mu Gu was extremely resentful of Yao Chen; otherwise, their fellow disciples wouldn't have caused such a commotion, nor would they have stabbed each other in the back.

The two faced each other, and the old man Mu Gu suddenly smiled with relief:

"You old codger always wins. Last time was the first time I beat you, and this time it's the same old man!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen smiled dismissively without giving any reply, but his words carried a deeper meaning.

"So it was Elder Mu Gu..."

"I never expected it to be him. He managed to fool the three of us, and his appearance has been altered..."

A chill ran down her spine. She was also very familiar with Elder Mu Gu, after all, she had also entered that secret realm back then.

These people were old friends, yet their relationship has deteriorated to this extent.

"What should we do now, three presidents?"

Behind Xuan Kongzi and the other two, an elder dressed in white robes changed his expression slightly and asked in a soft voice.

"We can only wait and see. It's too late to do anything now. Even if we know he's from the Soul Hall, we can't stop him from attending the Pill Gathering."

"He is also an alchemist and has the qualifications and conditions to participate in the Pill Gathering. If we strip him of his right to participate in front of everyone, not only will the Soul Hall not let it go, but the reputation of the Pill Tower will also be ruined."

"Are we just going to let him take the championship title?"

The old man in white robes said anxiously.

"Now we can only place our hopes on him. We have to believe in him, right, Xuan Yi!"

Xuan Kongzi's eyes shifted, his gaze settling on Ye Feng, and he spoke softly.

“We should have trusted him completely. If we had, the Pill Realm wouldn’t have been ruined by these people.”

The beautiful woman in black rolled her eyes.

"..."

Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

It seems the damage is done; there's no way to get my younger sister to turn back now.

only……

The two old men looked at the illusory figure of Yao Chen, who was floating above with his hands behind his back, with great sympathy.

You've suffered, Yao Chen~

Who would have thought that you, once handsome, dashing, and the dream lover of countless women, would one day be cheated on?

"Green, green, green..."

The two of them couldn't help but see how Yao Chen's white hair looked so green!

hmm~

That's just how it is. Who told Yao Chen's beloved disciple, Xiao Yanzi, that the only condensed Dan Lei was a bluish-green color?

"Xuan Yi..."

Yao Chen gazed tenderly at Xuan Yi, who sat in a high position, but the scene was not what he had imagined.

He thought that the two of them meeting again after so many years would be a heartwarming scene, but Xuan Yi's eyes never seemed to linger on him from beginning to end.

This left Yao Chen quite puzzled. Then, following the gaze of Xuan Yi's beautiful eyes, which held a hint of peach blossoms, he finally fixed his gaze on Ye Feng...
