The Reborn Pill Emperor

A ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Ye Bufan's bloodied face, bringing a slight itch.    

    

Ye Bufan slowly opened his tightly shut eyes and looked at the blood stains on the bed sheets. His heart tightened as he carefully felt the inner strength in his Dantian. He found that the inner strength seemed to have become much thicker and tried his luck. Inner strength! Very quickly, he completed a big cycle in his body and returned to his dantian. There was no discomfort at all...    

    

Ye Bufan knew how serious the consequences of last night were. However, when he woke up, he found that not only was he fine, but he had also opened his meridians. Furthermore, he had also broken through to the Seventh Rank of Qi Stage after opening both meridians.    

    

Ye Bufan couldn't help but shake his head. If his master knew about his progress, he would surely scold him again.    

    

As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes. At this moment, a light knocking sound came from Ye Bufan's door.    

    

"Senior Brother Ye, Second Palace Lord..." Ho Yinfeng looked at the blood on Ye Bufan's face and asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Ye, what happened to you?"    

    

Ye Bufan touched the blood on his face and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I lost my breath during my cultivation last night and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. By the way, what do you think Master wants from me for?"    

    

Ho Yinfeng looked at Ye Bufan with admiration. No wonder he had advanced to the expert at Qi Stage realm not long after entering the Aoyun Sect. It seemed like it was also closely related to his painstaking cultivation, "Second Palace Lord, let me invite you to the Blue Dragon Palace. He said that if he didn't look at you, he would have forgotten what his disciple looked like!"    

    

Ye Bufan unconsciously touched his head. It had been a year and a half since he came back from Blue Dragon Palace. He had almost never left his room, so he closed his door. Thinking about it, he felt guilty for his master. "Let's go. I've forgotten everything during my cultivation!"    

    

Thus, the two of them walked towards Blue Dragon Palace. Seeing that Ho Yinfeng had changed into an official disciple uniform, Ye Bufan asked, "You have become an official disciple?"    

    

There was only admiration and not a trace of jealousy towards Ye Bufan, "Last year's official disciple selection, I was lucky... I am also in the Blue Dragon Palace now, but compared to Senior Brother Ye, who is the direct disciple of the Palace Lord, I am still much worse!"    

    

"With your talent, your future achievements will not be too low!" Ye Bufan comforted him.    

    

Blue Dragon Palace    

    

As usual, Yunqing was already waiting for Ye Bufan outside the hall. In the past year and a half, the two of them hadn't seen each other for long.    

    

"Qing'er!" Looking at Yunqing's delicate appearance, Ye Bufan shouted from afar.    

    

Looking at Ye Bufan and thinking about her own thoughts, Yunqing's eyes could not help but become moist, "Big Brother Bufan!"    

    

She did not speak much and just looked at each other silently. At this moment, silence was better than words.    

    

After a long time, looking at the tears rolling in Yunqing's eyes, Ye Bufan also felt guilty in his heart. "Qing Er, don't cry. It's all my fault. I will accompany you more in the future!" Ye Bufan also felt that he had only been focusing on his cultivation for the past year and had indeed neglected Yunqing.    

    

In the contradiction, Yunqing hoped that Ye Bufan's strength would improve greatly and also hoped that Ye Bufan could spend more time with her. The past year was indeed a kind of torture for her.    

    

"No! Big Brother Bufan, you need to concentrate on your cultivation so that you can go and fetch Uncle Ye faster. You can also get your revenge earlier! " Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Yunqing quietly said in her heart, "If it is any later, Qing'er will probably not be able to accompany Brother Bufan to get revenge!"    

    

Main hall    

    

"Greetings Master!" Ye Bufan and Yunqing said in unison.    

    

When Meng Lingfeng heard them, he raised his head and his eyes flashed with a bright light. His facial expression changed drastically, as if he had thought of something terrifying. He pointed at Ye Bufan and said, "You..."    

    

In a flash, Meng Lingfeng appeared in front of Ye Bufan. He grabbed Ye Bufan's wrist and injected a strand of spiritual energy into Ye Bufan's body. After a while, he let go. "Freak... Freak..."    

    

Yunqing felt sweet in her heart. When she met Ye Bufan, she could tell that Ye Bufan had reached the Seventh Rank of Qi Stage. However, she was not as happy as when they met, so Yunqing did not ask about the details.    

    

Ye Bufan scratched his head in embarrassment, but he could only maintain the smile on his face.    

    

Meng Lingfeng said, "I called you all here to tell you that there is still one month until the Aoyun Sect's first round of the competition. I want all of you to go and watch it, and you can also gain some combat experience. However, it seems like you don't need to be an audience anymore. You can participate directly!"    

    

Ye Bufan's heart moved, and he asked, "Master, is there any prize for this competition?"    

    

Meng Lingfeng did not expect Ye Bufan to have such a direct side, and said, "Of course there is no lack of prizes, and the top five this year also have a fortuitous encounter. However, the five Palace Masters had made a promise that they wouldn't reveal anything before the competition. So, all of you can do whatever you want. As for the reward, it won't be lower than your estimation. "    

    

Speaking up to this point, he looked at Yunqing with a profound gaze, as if he was telling Yunqing that the reward this time would be tempting even with Yunqing's identity.    

    

"Then I will have to trouble Master to announce our name!" Ye Bufan said.    

    

After coming out of Blue Dragon Palace, Ye Bufan had already opened up the Ren Du Er Mai. At this moment, his inner strength automatically circulated in his body, even though it was not comparable to meditating. He could also repeatedly refine the inner strength in his body, and because of what happened yesterday... Ye Bufan did not plan to rush to practice. According to what he knew, it was rare for one and a half years to enter the Seventh Rank of Qi Stage from the first level of the Qi Stage. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate again.    

    

For the next few days, he accompanied Yunqing and played in the mountain range of Blue Dragon Palace. When Yunqing saw that Ye Bufan wasn't in a hurry to cultivate and accompany her, she felt incomparably happy in her heart. She only felt a little sad occasionally, but she didn't let Ye Bufan notice.    

    

Danqing Palace    

    

After wandering around the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, the two of them came to Danqing Palace. Apart from sightseeing, it was naturally Ye Bufan's hands that felt itchy.    

    

"Junior brother, junior sister, please stop!" The one who walked out of the Danqing Palace was the disciple who followed Meng Lingfeng to the Danqing Palace to receive them when he first arrived at the Aoyun Sect.    

    

Ye Bufan recognized the person and said, "Hello senior brother. I am Ye Bufan, Second Palace Lord's disciple. This is my junior sister, Yunqing. Today, I am going to the Danqing Palace to pay my respects to fourth uncle master!"    

    

"You are Ye Bufan and Yunqing?" The disciple was a little surprised, but then he realized that he was a little rude. He immediately said, "I am Fourth Palace Lord's second disciple, Chen Wushuang!"    

    

"Senior Chen knows us?" Ye Bufan asked curiously. Ever since he and Yunqing joined the Aoyun Sect, they had never stepped out of the main doors and the two doors had never stepped out. There was no need for such a heroic reputation to spread far and wide.    

    

Chen Wushuang gave a strange smile and said, "Junior brothers have been focusing on cultivation ever since they joined the Aoyun Sect. They didn't even come to see Master every month. This news had spread throughout the Aoyun Sect, and it had become a model for the Palace Masters to teach their disciples. However, it has also become a topic of conversation for the senior masters to tease Second Palace Lord! "    

    

Ye Bufan and Yunqing looked at each other and smiled. They did not expect that the two of them would become famous even if they did not go out. "We would like to pay a visit to Fourth Palace Lord. Senior Chen, can you pass on the message?"    

    

Chen Wushuang had a troubled expression and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Junior brother came at the wrong time. Master went into seclusion to refine pills half a month ago and has not come out yet. Senior brother did not dare to knock on the door, otherwise he would disturb his master. It will be another round of beating..."    

    

Ye Bufan also understood that he couldn't be disturbed while concocting pills. After thinking for a while, he said, "Senior brother, I have always been looking forward to the method of concocting pills. I wonder if I can go to your library and read it!"    

    

Chen Wushuang frowned slightly and said, "This matter should not be a big problem, but I need to wait for Master's permission. Master's main purpose of refining the pill this time is to reward the winner of this elite competition. I think he will come out of seclusion very soon. Junior brother can wait here for a few days. "    

    

Ye Bufan sounded a little disappointed when he heard that. Just as he was about to leave, a loud noise came from the back of the Danqing Palace. A thick smoke rose from the back of the hall.    

    

Seeing this, Chen Wushuang did not rush to talk to the two of them. He dashed towards the back of the hall with a series of afterimages.    

    

Eighth Rank of Qi Stage!    

    

Ye Bufan and Yunqing could tell his cultivation base from his movement technique. At the same time, they followed him.    

    

When they stepped into the backyard, a burnt smell assailed their nostrils. They saw Fourth Palace Lord Yu Yiming's clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the pill room that was emitting thick smoke with a look of pity.    

    

Ye Bufan could see this scene with one look. He whispered to Yunqing, "The pill refinement broke!"    

    

Who was Fourth Palace Lord Yu Yiming? No matter how small Ye Bufan's voice was, it could not escape his ears. He turned around and saw that it was Ye Bufan. "What do you know! If it was not for my greed when the pill was formed, I would not have failed to refine the Three-Line Pill!"    

    

Yunqing looked at Fourth Palace Lord's funny and somewhat flustered appearance and could not help but laugh.    

    

Fourth Palace Lord was originally angry over the failure of the pill refinement. Seeing Yunqing laugh loudly, he was even angrier. "What are you laughing at! What's so strange about it? Which Alchemist dares to say that he won't fail?"    

    

Yunqing was really happy to see Fourth Palace Lord like this. After Fourth Palace Lord finished speaking, she pointed at Ye Bufan without thinking and said, "He can make sure he doesn't fail!"    

    

She thought about Ye Bufan's furnace of bricks in the Sword Forging Hall. Although the price was a bit different, Ye Bufan had never failed. In Yunqing's memory, such a success rate was something that even the chief Alchemist refining in the clan could not achieve. This was naturally the pride in Yunqing's heart.    

    

"He knows alchemy?" Fourth Palace Lord said disdainfully.    

    

Ye Bufan did not expect Yunqing to be so direct in front of Fourth Palace Lord. He immediately said, "Yunqing is joking. We came today to pay a visit to Fourth Palace Lord and ask him how to concoct pills."    

    

Fourth Palace Lord saw what Ye Bufan said and thought that Ye Bufan was deliberately making fun of him for failing. He said unhappily, "Back then I asked you to be my master, but you were not willing to. Go and ask your bullshit master!"    

    

Ye Bufan could tell that Fourth Palace Lord misunderstood his meaning. He said sincerely, "A few senior uncles said that I can ask you for advice if there is anything I do not understand."    

    

Seeing Ye Bufan's sincere expression, it didn't seem like he wanted to make fun of him. Fourth Palace Lord asked, "You want to learn alchemy?"    

    

Ye Bufan nodded and said, "I want to ask senior uncle for guidance."    

    

"Have you learned or refined alchemy before?" Fourth Palace Lord asked. The path of alchemy and one's own cultivation each took a different path. Although Ye Bufan had good talent in cultivation, it did not mean that he also had talent in alchemy.    

    

Of course, this was because Fourth Palace Lord was not in the mood to check Ye Bufan's cultivation level. Otherwise, he would find out that Ye Bufan's talent in cultivation was not only good, but also almost monstrous.    

    

Ye Bufan scratched his head and said, "I've refined some of them. The bricks Master gave you last time were made by me!"    

    

"Then what do you not understand?" Fourth Palace Lord, who was about to ask Ye Bufan a question, suddenly remembered the bricks Meng Lingfeng asked him to check the last time. He said in surprise, "What? You made those?"    

    

After Ye Bufan nodded to confirm, Fourth Palace Lord could not help but be a little angry. "Meng Lingfeng, Meng Lingfeng, you actually gave me this trick! If you knew earlier that those medicinal blocks were refined by you, even if I have to risk my life, I will take you under my tutelage!"    

    

Chen Wushuang who was at the side was also very shocked. He had seen Ye Bufan's bricks before. As a middle-grade Alchemist refiner, he could naturally see that the medicinal ingredients' composition and control of the flame had already reached the point of perfection.    

    

"You can refine the medicinal pill to such an extent, but why don't you know the Pill Spell?" Putting away the excitement from before, Fourth Palace Lord asked with a trace of doubt.    

    

Ye Bufan said with a bitter smile, "Refining these medicinal pills, I just saw the attributes of the medicinal herbs from some ancient books. As for the Pill Spell, I really don't understand it at all. That's why I came to ask Fourth Martial Uncle for guidance."    

    

Seeing Ye Bufan lying without even blinking, Yunqing forcefully held back her laughter. Although she didn't know why Ye Bufan had such attainments in alchemy, based on her understanding of Ye Bufan, she knew that what Ye Bufan said just now was definitely not the truth.    

    

"Follow me!" Fourth Palace Lord couldn't care less about his tattered clothes and appearance. He brought Ye Bufan to the alchemy room at the side.    

    

Yunqing naturally accompanied Ye Bufan. Chen Wushuang also curiously followed her in.
