Chapter 3792: Chapter 3792: Master’s Identity (Seventh Update)

Three days later.

In the depths of the mountains, there is a cottage. Outside the cottage, a young man with a detached expression sits on the green stone.

This young man is none other than Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen is playing with a strange-looking rune orb in his hand, seemingly distracted.

In reality, Ye Chen is communicating with Xuan Han Yu.

Ye Chen said: "Fairy Xuan, are you saying that this rune orb resembling an eyeball is a rather high-grade witch artifact of the Wu Clan, and its real use is not to turn people into witch demons?"

Xuan Han Yu replied: "That’s right, this eyeball is called the Heavenly Witch’s Eye, and its purpose is to work with the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill to cultivate a body-refinement technique of the Wu Clan!"

Ye Chen’s expression shifted. Since Xuan Han Yu mentioned this body-refinement technique, there must be a reason!

He asked excitedly: "Fairy Xuan, could it be that this body refining divine power might be useful even for me?"

Ye Chen’s physical body now is said to be defying the heavens; regular body refining techniques can hardly make his physical strength advance further!

Xuan Han Yu said: "This cultivation method was famous in ancient times, known as the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique!

This Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique is a body-refinement method that stimulates the potential of bloodlines. You possess refined Heavenly Demon Blood, divine blood, and reincarnation bloodline. Even though your physical body is already extremely formidable, this technique can further enhance your physical strength by another level!"

Ye Chen, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but show a joyful expression!

After the battle with Elder Jun, he found that before mastering Freedom Heaven, he was still a bit struggling to withstand attacks from the late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm!

Xuan Han Yu continued: "However, aside from enhancing your physical body, the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique has another effect that suits you even more!"

Something more suitable than strengthening the body?

Ye Chen’s expression shifted, and he asked: "What is it?"

Xuan Han Yu replied: "Martial artists who cultivate this Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique will possess a constitution called Hundred Evil Body, which enables turning their vitality into physical strength!"

Even upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise: "Is it true?"

In the next moment, Ye Chen, usually detached in nature, couldn’t help but reveal a look of exuberant joy!

This Hundred Evil Body fits him perfectly!

If he gains this Hundred Evil Body, Ye Chen’s power can instantly soar to another level!

For most martial artists, the Hundred Evil Body could only serve as a life-saving measure, used in critical moments. After all, burning vitality is risky; one misstep could lead to death, and even surviving could leave various aftereffects, including a period of significant weakness!

But from his battle with Elder Jun, Ye Chen discovered that his Life Origin is incredibly strong. Even with significant exhaustion, it barely affects him!

Furthermore, even if his vitality is severely depleted or even devoured, he can recover completely shortly after leaving the battle!

These two points, combined with his unimaginable extent of vitality, can predict the significant enhancements that the Hundred Evil Body may provide Ye Chen!

Currently, Ye Chen has exposed all his methods, barely winning against Elder Jun, whose power was suppressed at the late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm, relying on the trump card of the Soul-slaying Sword. But if he truly masters the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique, Ye Chen believes he would truly possess the power to face such an existence!

Just at this moment, the wooden door of the cottage behind him creaks open, and Lin Rutian emerges slowly from it.

Ye Chen smiles as he looks at him and asks: "Young Master Lin, how did the discussion go?"

Lin Rutian, upon hearing, flashes a trace of harshness in his eyes and replies lightly: "Not too bad. With this person’s support, my status in Jiuqing Mountain is bound to rise significantly. Since my brother has attempted to assassinate me, my counterattack begins now."

Ye Chen nods and says: "If you need any help, you can reach out to me."

He is indifferent to the grudges among the young masters of Jiuqing Mountain. However, he doesn’t want anything to happen to Lin Rutian.

Ye Chen is a straightforward person; he supports whoever he is on friendly terms with. Lin Rutian has fought alongside him, so in this power struggle, Ye Chen naturally chooses to support Lin Rutian.

Lin Rutian smiles at this and says: "If I sought your help, I would worry about drawing even bigger trouble."

Having said that, he seriously looks at Ye Chen and instructs: "Ye Shitian, in the future, you should be more cautious and avoid exposing your power too much in front of too many people, especially not about your exceedingly strong vitality!

If this spreads, regardless of the Dark Mansion of the Dark Domain or the old monsters in the Four Great Domains, they may develop ideas about you. At that time, relying solely on Jiuqing Mountain wouldn’t suffice as your backing!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered for a moment, then he said: "I understand."

He knows Lin Rutian’s words come from good intentions.

Lin Rutian smiled and said, "However, no matter what, as long as I, Lin Rutian, am alive, I will definitely stand by your side until the last moment!

Alright, now that everything is settled, let’s go have a drink. Elder Jun’s sudden demise surely means that even big brother will not dare to act rashly for now."

The two exchanged smiles without saying much more, their figures moving towards the outside of the mountain.

Several days later, a golden bolt of lightning descended upon Deceit City. As the light dissipated, a young man with an indifferent expression appeared. With a shift of his figure, he headed towards the direction of the Black Stone Inn.

Soon, Ye Chen returned to the Black Stone Inn.

Ye Chen sat in his room, gazing at a jade talisman in his hand. This was the Communication Jade Token given to him by Elder Shi of the Cang Gang. Now that his mission to protect Lin Rutian was complete, it was time to contact Elder Shi.

To cultivate the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique, besides the Heavenly Witch’s Eye, the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill is also needed!

Even among the Ancient Witch Clan, the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill is a well-kept secret, not easily obtained. Any opportunity to improve the chances of acquiring the pill recipe will not be missed!

Ye Chen has already asked Lin Rutian for help and has sent messages to the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association. The only remaining breakthrough point is Elder Shi!

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen took out a White Jade Mask, a treasure he acquired at an auction.

This mask, named Wan Hua Jade Mask, allows martial artists to alter their appearance!

Ye Chen’s own method of changing his appearance is still too rudimentary for the Underworld’s Dark Domain, with a risk of exposing his true face, so he bought this Wan Hua Jade Mask.

With this Wan Hua Jade Mask, unless one’s soul power far exceeds his own, they cannot see that he has changed his appearance!

Of course, there’s another way — to use the item Chen Yuanbiao gave him, which completely conceals one’s appearance.

However, Ye Chen did not wish to do so.

As an Alchemy Master, if he conducts himself secretly, without the courage to reveal his appearance, wouldn’t he arouse more suspicion?

Immediately, Ye Chen sent out a message to Elder Shi through the jade talisman, agreeing on a meeting location and time.

At the Cang Gang’s main altar, within a massive alchemy room, an old man sat cross-legged before an alchemy cauldron, intensely focused on putting materials into it, refining a certain pill. Sweat covered his forehead, clearly indicating he was at a critical moment in alchemy. Just then, the jade talisman hanging beside him flashed!

The old man’s expression shifted, and the next moment, he showed a look of wild joy, disregarding the pills he was refining and immediately grabbing the jade talisman. After scanning it with his divine soul, he rushed out like a gust of wind!

In Deceit City, upon receiving Elder Shi’s reply, Ye Chen smiled slightly, exiting his room. Before leaving the Black Stone Inn, he walked into Xu Shenglong’s room, glancing inside to see Xu Shenglong with furrowed brows as if contemplating Scarlet Moon Tiger King’s Bloodline Divine Ability, surrounded by swirling demonic energy.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head and moved his hand, setting up an array formation to conceal the fluctuation of aura in Xu Shenglong’s room before moving towards the meeting location.

The meeting point between Ye Chen and Elder Shi was not within Deceit City but in a city in the Dark Domain called Qingshan City.

This Qingshan City is named after the nine mountains that remain green all year round behind it; it is also the headquarters of Jiuqing Mountain!

Ye Chen chose to meet Elder Shi here because of Lin Rutian.

In this Jiuqing Mountain, even if someone in the Qiankun Realm dared to act against Ye Chen, they would face dire consequences!

In Qingshan City, inside a somewhat dilapidated tavern, sat a visibly tense old man.

This old man, naturally, was Elder Shi!

From time to time, he glanced towards the tavern door, eyes full of anticipation!

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the tavern.

A look of excitement appeared on Elder Shi’s wrinkled face, and he immediately stood up!

A figure appeared in the doorway. Elder Shi fixed his gaze and saw a gray-robed, ordinarily-featured, silver-haired, indifferent-faced old man walking towards him.

The old man glanced at Elder Shi and asked, "Are you the one who wants to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi showed a joyful expression, momentarily at a loss, before speaking up: "Ma... Master, please take a seat!"

The indifferent old man shook his head and slowly walked over to sit at the table.

This person was naturally Ye Chen!

He used the Wan Hua Jade Mask to transform into the appearance of this old man.

Always highly revered within the Cang Gang, Elder Shi now displayed extreme humility, like a tavern attendant, wiping the table for Ye Chen and taking out a bottle of high-level spirit wine, personally pouring for him.
