Foundation Establishment Pill

The Ye Family Old Ancestor's funeral was grand and solemn.

But as Ye Chen looked at the hall full of guests, his heart was utterly cold...

Among them, how many were truly grieving over that old man's passing?

The funeral lasted three days. By the time everything had settled, the vast majority of the guests had gone their separate ways.

Those still remaining in the Ye Family now were only the other four of the Five Great Families and Danta Elder Mu Rong.

"Kid, begin. I'd like to see what a tiny little thing like you is capable of!" Bai Wei's grating voice rang out once again.

At this moment, in the quiet room where everyone had gathered, a red Medicine Cauldron had already been set in place, and on the Stone Platform beside it lay a purple scroll and some medicinal materials.

Ye Chen did not take Bai Wei's harsh words to heart. He gave Ye Zhong, who sat at the head with worry written all over his face, a reassuring smile, then walked over to the Stone Platform.

There were three sets of medicinal materials on the Stone Platform. In other words, if he used up all three sets during refinement and still failed, then this wager would be declared lost.

At this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on Ye Chen...

Aside from Ye Zhong and Elder Mu Rong, who was on good terms with the Ye Family, the remaining members of the Dan Family and the Cao Family merely watched everything in the hall with cold expressions.

The reason those two families had not left was also because they wanted to see whether this widely rumored Genius of the Ye Family truly lived up to his reputation...

As for the Qiu Clan people, although they did not show it as blatantly as that brainless woman Bai Wei, in their hearts they were also sneering at Ye Chen and the Ye Family as it stood now.

Without that old ghost Ye Xun suppressing them, the Qiu Clan no longer had to take the Ye Family's mood into account in everything they did!

Ye Chen understood the thoughts of everyone present perfectly well.

This was also why he had chosen to step forward in such a high-profile manner...

Don't talk about how the bird that sticks its head out gets shot!

So-called crises were where opportunity and danger coexisted...

To ordinary people, a crisis represented danger. But to the protagonist, the word "crisis" held only opportunity!

"Foundation Establishment Pill?" Ye Chen picked up the pill formula beside him, and after seeing the name written on it, he could not help reading it out softly.

If he had not known for certain that this was the Dou Qi Continent, he would have thought he had arrived in a world of immortal cultivation...

There was actually something like a "Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Heh heh, Kid, this Foundation Establishment Pill is a First Grade Pill unique to my Bai Clan. When taken with soup, it can strengthen the foundation, nurture the origin, and enhance the body. It is the most precious Nurturing Yuan Pill before one becomes a Dou Zhe!"

A trace of pride colored Bai Wei's words.

Although it was only the lowest-level First Grade Pill, its effect absolutely surpassed many Second Grade and even Third Grade Pills. Most importantly, it had been specially prepared for children...

It was still the same principle: the younger the body, the weaker its ability to withstand pills. The slightest carelessness could damage the foundation, so pills like this, which could be used by children, were extremely rare.

What was more, this was a pill formula Bai Wei had developed herself. She did have the qualifications to be proud... This also proved that the woman had some real ability to have become an elder of the Bai Clan.

After finishing reading the formula for this Foundation Establishment Pill, Ye Chen could not help frowning.

Because he discovered that although this Foundation Establishment Pill was only a First Grade Pill, its refinement techniques were so complicated that they were even more complex than the Fire Essence Pill he had refined before. It was likely that even ordinary Second Grade Pills could not compare...

Flashy but impractical! Ye Chen could not help scoffing inwardly.

A First Grade Pill that even a Second Grade Alchemist might not necessarily be able to refine—no matter how rare its medicinal effect was, its practicality would be greatly reduced.

If an experienced Fifth Grade Alchemist put a little thought into it, they could probably easily cut the difficulty of this cumbersome pill formula in half!

And this Elder Bai Wei was still standing there smugly pleased with herself. What a waste of her status as a Sixth Grade Advanced alchemist!

After shaking his head inwardly and looking down on the woman for a bit, Ye Chen wasted no more time and directly began Refining Medicinal Materials according to the method recorded in the formula.

With so many high-level alchemists present, he was not worried that Bai Wei would play any tricks with the pill formula. Otherwise, that woman would not be brainless—she would truly be stupid.

He quickly pressed his palm against the fire opening of the Medicine Cauldron. As the Dou Qi in his body surged, several muffled popping sounds rang out, and a Silver Flame immediately rose within the Medicine Cauldron.

After the flame inside the Medicine Cauldron blazed up, a transparent Light Curtain slowly rose around the outside of the Stone Platform. The Light Curtain formed a square shape, wrapping Ye Chen inside.

This was a measure Ye Zhong had specially prepared. As the Light Curtain shield opened, all sounds from the outside world were completely isolated and would not disturb Ye Chen inside in the slightest.

However, the instant the Silver Flame appeared in the Medicine Cauldron, the pupils of Elder Mu Rong at the head, as well as the people from the Dan Family and Cao Family, all constricted at the same time...

As for Bai Wei, she cried out directly, "This is impossible!"

The Qiu Clan elder's eyes widened. Pointing at Ye Chen inside the Light Curtain, he cried out in shock, losing his voice, "Silver Flame? Heavenly Flames???"

Everyone present was an alchemy master, and precisely because of that, they clearly knew that the Silver Flame currently inside the Medicine Cauldron had not been condensed with the aid of the Medicine Cauldron like that of an ordinary First Grade Alchemist.

And when a One-Star Dou Zhe could manifest a special flame through his own power, the first thing everyone thought of was Heavenly Flames...

"No! That is not a Heavenly Flame..." Mu Rong was the first to react and shook his head slightly.

Although he also could not see through the origins of that Silver Flame, he could be certain that it was definitely not something as terrifying as a Heavenly Flame...

After hearing Mu Rong's words, everyone present quickly came back to their senses as well and realized they had overthought it.

How could a One-Star Dou Zhe possibly subdue a flame as violent as a Heavenly Flame?

Forget a mere Ye Chen—even everyone present likely had little confidence that they could subdue a Heavenly Flame.

"I remember that the Yang Fire inherited by the Ye Family should be a kind of Milky White Flame. Family Head Ye, may I ask if I am correct?" Dan Leng, the elder who had come from the Dan Family this time, smiled and turned his head to ask Ye Zhong.

Among the Pill Domain Five Great Families, each had their own special flame. Apart from the Yang Fire produced by the Ye Family's Yang Fire Ancient Altar, things like the Cao Family's Blood Demon Flame were all famous far and wide.

In response to Dan Leng's question, Ye Zhong merely nodded calmly and showed no intention of saying anything more.

Aside from Bai Wei, the others had no objections to his attitude.

It was just that Ye Chen, at such a young age, already possessed a special flame whose origins even they could not see through. This made everyone's hearts grow a little heavier, and they placed even greater importance on this famous Genius of the Ye Family.

Perhaps this wager could truly be won by this little fellow!
