Chapter 816: Chapter 366: Jiangnan Yan Family (Part 2)

The earth here isn’t the surface, but the mantle of Blue Star!

At this very moment, Ye Qingzhou only felt his mind incomparably calm and steady; even Spiritual Martial Techniques at the Celestial Tier level could hardly shake his will in the slightest.

Not only that, Ye Qingzhou also suddenly realized that his Perception of space had become extremely keen, allowing him to perform spatial teleportation on a macroscopic scale.

With a light step, Ye Qingzhou’s figure instantly flashed and vanished; in the blink of an eye he appeared in the suburbs ten li away: "Did I just... directly pass through a spatial fissure?"

This was not a Body Technique Martial Technique that simply increased speed, but a direct spatial jump.

"The Earth Essence Pill really is unbelievable."

Ye Qingzhou felt the Yin Yang Qi within his body connect with the earth beneath his feet, bestowing on him a Divine Technique similar to Shrinking Inches.

"The effect is astonishing, but the medicinal force is so strong that at least Grandmaster Cultivation is needed to withstand it. Otherwise, if one forces it down, the only outcome is exploding and dying."

The phenomena faded and the alarm was lifted. Xu Yuebing and Xu Yunxi hurried out of the laboratory, walked to Ye Qingzhou’s side, and asked with worried eyes, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Ye Qingzhou took out an Earth Essence Pill and handed it to Xu Yunxi: "Sister Yunxi, this Earth Essence Pill is for you. Take it quickly; it can increase the toughness of your mind and already enhance your comprehension of the Dao of space."

"Alright."

Xu Yunxi didn’t say much. She calmly accepted the Pill from Ye Qingzhou’s hand, but when she looked at him, her gaze grew even gentler.

"What about me, what about me?"

Xu Yuebing pouted, rose up on her tiptoes, and looked at Ye Qingzhou with eager eyes.

"I’ll keep yours for you first. When you advance to Martial Arts Grandmaster someday, I’ll personally give it to you."

"Okay then."

Only then did Xu Yuebing give up.

After that, Ye Qingzhou gifted Yingyue and Gu Minghui one Earth Essence Pill each. Yingyue was one of his own people, and Gu Minghui was an important ally and powerful external support; both were worth Ye Qingzhou placing a bet on.

Just like that, nine Earth Essence Pills were distributed out six in the blink of an eye.

After swallowing it on the spot, Gu Minghui revealed a shocked expression: "The effect of the Earth Essence Pill not only stabilizes the mind and strengthens one’s sense of the Dao of earth, it can even grant Longevity..."

He then quickly reminded Ye Qingzhou: "A Spirit Pill like this will definitely draw the covetous eyes of many."

Ye Qingzhou understood Gu Minghui’s implication; just the four words "Longevity" were enough to drive countless people to risk everything.

One had to know, the Earth Essence Pill’s Longevity was calculated in units of a thousand years; its efficacy was far beyond ordinary Longevity Rare Treasures.

Yet Ye Qingzhou didn’t care much about this: "As I am now, I already have the strength to guard my treasures. Anyone who wants to seize them by trickery or force can ask the sword in my hand first."

Only then did Gu Minghui recall Ye Qingzhou’s record of killing Martial Saints like slaughtering chickens, but he still added a reminder: "I’m just afraid some people will be blinded by profit and resort to any means."

......

Jiangnan, Yan Family.

"Cough, cough~"

An old man, emaciated to skin and bones, lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by all kinds of medical equipment, even equipped with a dedicated medical team.

From this it was clear the old man was either rich or noble.

He was Yan Gushu, the former helmsman of the Coexistence Faction, once wielding overwhelming power with disciples and former subordinates spread across the world.

As long as he still had one breath left, his influence was something no one could ignore.

Yet in the face of death, all beings are equal. Even after exhausting all sorts of Longevity-type Exotic Treasures, he had now reached his limit, beyond salvation.

Yan Gushu’s body looked like a withered branch dried by the wind; bluish-purple veins bulged and twisted beneath wax-yellow skin. Every breath was like a long tug-of-war, a hoarse whimper occasionally spilling from his throat like rusty gears barely turning.

Even someone as strong as a Martial Arts Grandmaster is no different from ordinary people before birth, aging, sickness, and death.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, my father, he..."

"Chairman Yan’s situation is not optimistic. President Yan, please be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Yan Feiping fell silent.

Currently, the Yan Family’s influence was constantly shrinking, but their basic foundation could still barely be maintained. Yet if Yan Gushu died, then the Coexistence Faction would lose its last helmsman, and its strength would plummet once again.

It was even highly possible they would never recover and completely vanish.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, I must ask that you do your utmost!"

Entrusted by others, Zhang Shuhua could only reluctantly agree: "Rest assured, President Yan. I have already contacted Divine Doctor Zhong of the Wanjie Medical Association for a joint consultation. We will certainly spare no effort to extend Chairman Yan’s lifespan."

"Father!"

Yan Feiping’s daughter, Yan Qingqing, ran anxiously from the main gate all the way to the living room, her expression excited: "Grandpa can be saved!"

She finished speaking and directly took out a video: "Father, look, someone has refined an Earth Essence Pill!"

Yan Feiping’s expression shook after watching it. He quickly turned and looked at Zhang Shuhua: "Divine Doctor Zhang, what do you think?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Hmm?"

Zhang Shuhua frowned, then his face revealed shock: "When a Pill is formed, ghosts and gods are startled, and heaven and earth descend with calamity. This Pill is indeed a Top Grade Earth Essence Pill that can reverse fate. If Chairman Yan can take it, he will gain at least a thousand years of lifespan."

"A thousand years of lifespan!"

Yan Feiping’s breathing grew heavier at those words, the depths of his eyes flickering uncertainly. He even wondered if he should just take it himself—after all, after eating it he could live for a thousand years!

Zhang Shuhua seemed to see through Yan Feiping’s thoughts. He lightly coughed and said, "The medicinal power of the Earth Essence Pill is overbearing. Only those with cultivation above Grandmaster can withstand it. Without the ability of Refining Evil into Bone, taking an Earth Essence Pill will only have one outcome: exploding and dying."

Yan Feiping, whose cultivation hadn’t even reached the Master Realm, immediately extinguished his earlier thoughts upon hearing this. He picked up his phone and instructed his subordinates, "Prepare the private jet. I’m going to Yanmen in person."

It wasn’t just the Yan Family; all kinds of powerful nobles in Dongji Kingdom, as well as Martial Arts Families, were alarmed by the appearance of the Earth Essence Pill.

If not for the fact that only those with Grandmaster Cultivation or above could refine its medicinal power, the number of people wanting to beg for an Earth Essence Pill would be a thousand or ten thousand times more.

In an instant, Yanmen became the center of a vortex, with countless forces focusing their attention on it.

Yanmen, Cyan Leaf Group headquarters.

"Boss, Divine Doctor Zhong of the Wanjie Medical Association has come to visit."

Lan Caidie held a stack of documents in her arms, looking at Ye Qingzhou with a face full of admiration.

The more contact she had with him, the more she marveled at her boss’s omnipotence. Not only was he incredibly strong in cultivation, even his skills outside the Martial Dao were enough to shake the world.

The Wanjie Medical Association was the most authoritative medical organization in Dongji Kingdom and even on all of Blue Star. Within the Wanjie Medical Association there were hundreds and thousands of famous doctors, yet there were only two Divine Doctors.

They were "Medicine King Divine Doctor" Zhong Qing and "Immortal Knitting Fate" Zhang Shuhua.

Now that Zhong Qing had personally come to visit, it was naturally for the Earth Essence Pill Ye Qingzhou had refined.

Of course, Zhong Qing wasn’t here to beg for a Pill; he was simply very interested in the Pill Formula and pharmacology of the Earth Essence Pill, so he personally came to ask for instruction.

"Divine Doctor Zhong?"

Ye Qingzhou was naturally familiar with this Divine Doctor whose name resounded throughout the Martial Arts World. He immediately got up to welcome him, and he too was eager to discuss Pill Formulas and pharmacology with Zhong Qing, the "Medicine King Divine Doctor," to further refine his own Alchemy.

Leaving the laboratory, Ye Qingzhou soon saw a crane-haired, child-faced old man in the reception room. Although the other party’s cultivation was not high—only the Master Realm—the Martial Arts True Qi within his body was full of Vitality, orderly and harmonious, carrying a subtle, indescribable unique rhythm.

Like an old yet ever-firm pine and cypress, Evergreen through the ages, his fortune long and unbroken.

"Divine Doctor Zhong, your esteemed presence truly makes my humble place shine."

"Haha, Professor Ye, you flatter me. You’ve achieved profound scholarship at such a young age; I’ve come today to ask for your guidance."

"Not at all, not at all. We’ll discuss together and make progress together."

Ye Qingzhou was already itching to squeeze every drop of medical knowledge out of Zhong Qing.

"President Ye."

Yun Yan, having just taken a call, trotted quickly to Ye Qingzhou’s side: "The Jiangnan Yan Family has sent someone. They just got off the plane."

"Who?"

"Si Yue Group’s founder, Yan Feiping."

"I don’t know him. Don’t see him."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head, then continued leading Zhong Qing toward the laboratory where he was researching the Life Creation Pill.
