Ye Yuan did not expect to fall into someone's trap.

He was now surrounded by 5 early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

'To be chased by 5 Golden Core cultivators, what exactly did that girl do? Ah well, I better finish this matter first.'

Ye Yuan channeled energy into his forehead to remove the formation symbols stuck there.

Finally, the five people surrounding him were able to see Ye Yuan's true appearance. That's how it should be, right? When they saw that Ye Yuan was not the person they were after, the five cultivators should be shocked, right?

But why did they look so ordinary? Was it true that he hadn’t released the formation? But Ye Yuan was sure that he had released the formation.

"Hey, look carefully, I'm not the person you're looking for? The girl went that way.” Ye Yuan pointed at the direction where the masked girl left.

“Hm! We won’t be fooled by your cheap tricks again!”

Ye Yuan paused for a moment then smiled wryly as he realized the situation. It seemed like these five people had been tricked many times by the masked girl with her ability to change her appearance.

That was why they were not surprised when they saw Ye Yuan with his true appearance, they thought that the masked girl had changed her appearance to become Ye Yuan.

‘Damn girl! I’ll really beat her up if I see her again!’ Ye Yuan was really pissed off. “Looks like there’s no other choice, come on, I’ll beat you all up!”

Even though his cultivation was below the enemy, Ye Yuan did not show any expression of fear at all.

One of the enemies charged forward. Ye Yuan jumped.

Yin-Yang Sword! Falling Moon Slash!

Seeing the energy wave, he could feel that the energy contained was not that great, it would be easy for him to ward off.

Using his spear, the man deflected the Yin-Yang energy. But when his weapon came into contact with the energy..

*Boom!!

The Yin-Yang energy immediately exploded violently, sending him flying and crashing to the ground, some of his clothes destroyed, and he suffered severe burns on his face and stomach.

He had no idea that the explosion from the attack would be so powerful, causing him to be seriously injured due to being unprepared to withstand the explosion.

“Brother Yi!”

“I just happen to want to try out my new technique, fighting you Golden Core cultivators will be a good test!” Ye Yuan landed right in the middle of them.

Yin-Yang Sword!

Yin-Yang energy enveloped Ye Yuan's sword as if burning with black and white flames.

Fire Cloud Ring!

Ye Yuan performed a 360° rotating slash, creating a ring-shaped Yin-Yang energy wave that rapidly expanded.

“Dodge! Don’t block that attack!” One of them shouted.

They immediately jumped away, until the distance between them became even greater.

“Opportunity!” Ye Yuan took a stance, his gaze fixed on one of the enemies.

Yin-Yang Sword! Triangle of Death!

Ye Yuan made a swift movement, heading towards one point behind the enemy, then made the same swift movement to head towards another point, forming a triangle.

Ye Yuan’s movements were so fast that he left afterimages where he stopped, making it seem like he was in three places at once.

Ye Yuan's three figures performed a horizontal slash, sending out a wave of Yin-Yang energy.

Attacks from 3 directions at once, his opponent could see it, but he didn't have time to react to dodge because it was too fast.

He could only block the attack in the end, but that was the wrong choice.

*BOOM!!

As he blocked the Yin-Yang energy wave, it exploded with great force, many times more force than before.

The remaining 3 people could only stay in place with their mouths open. The explosion was too powerful to be caused by a Silver Core cultivator.

From the smoke from the explosion, a shadowy figure could be seen within it, the shadow walked out until Ye Yuan was seen dragging his badly injured enemy in an unconscious state.

“Two down.” Ye Yuan threw his opponent's body forward. “There are 3 left.”

Ye Yuan now held a real sword, which he got from the opponent he had defeated.

“Bastard! Attack him together!”

The three of them were so angry because two of their friends were killed.

They advanced simultaneously, launching energy slashes from a distance.

Ye Yuan dodged all the attacks easily and then counterattacked.

Yin-Yang Sword! Sky Sword!

Ye Yuan launched an attack towards one of the opponents.

They already knew the destructive effects of Ye Yuan’s attack, so they immediately avoided it.

Ye Yuan stamped his foot on the ground, causing several rocks to be lifted up. He also kicked all the stones towards the two opponents.

Just rocks, this time they repelled them all with their weapons.

But what they didn't know was that all of the stones had Yin-Yang energy in them, so when they slashed the stones..

*Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rocks exploded, but because the energy within them was so little, it only caused a small explosion, but it was enough to stop both of their movements.

'How can he infuse his energy into a rock just by kicking it?'

They were both confused because what Ye Yuan did was very unusual.

Finally, only one opponent reached where Ye Yuan was standing. They exchanged sword strikes at close range.

'Against a Golden Core stage cultivator like this, both my strength and speed are no match, so..' Ye Yuan was aware of his own low strength.

Apart from cultivation, he had also only trained his body for only 1 month, so to match the Golden Core was impossible.

Immortal Breathing Technique!

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, drawing in all the natural energy within a short distance, channeling it into both arms to strengthen each slash and both legs to strengthen balance.

Moreover, Ye Yuan’s speed also increased.

This breathing technique could indeed increase Ye Yuan’s speed and strength, but only for a short period of time.

Ye Yuna's opponent was shocked to see her increase in power, leaving her opponent with many openings.

Ye Yuan made good use of it, he managed to deliver a slash to his opponent's chest.

The man wanted to jump away after being slashed, but Ye Yuan's hand had already touched his abdomen.

Yin-Yang Footprint!

The Yin-Yang energy that erupted from Ye Yuan’s hands exploded.

“Gouhk!” The man vomited a lot of blood, his insides felt like they were being squeezed from the inside.

He was thrown hard towards his 2 friends. Both of them immediately caught him so he wouldn't hit the ground hard.

'Ugh.. my body is still weak, just one breath makes my whole body cramp.' Ye Yuan felt the side effects of the Immortal Breathing Technique.

‘I can’t show that I’m weak now, otherwise the two of them will definitely attack me right away.’ Ye Yuan smiled widely, as if he was still full of energy and did not show any weakness at all.

    Ye Yuan had only trained his physique for 1 month, without the help of any resources, so his physique was now even weaker than an average Silver Core stage cultivator. That is why using the immortal breathing technique which forcibly strengthens muscles and bones will have side effects. Ye Yuan now felt pain in his body, but he hid it with a big smile. Meanwhile, the 2 opponents who were still standing did not immediately attack because their 3 comrades had fallen in just 30 seconds when their fight started. Now they felt doubtful that if the opponent they were facing was a Silver Core level cultivator, surely the young cultivator would be at least one stage above them. “You guys are not bad, be proud that I gave you praise.” While waiting for his body to recover, Ye Yuan wanted to stall for time by inviting them to talk. He also performed the immortal breathing technique, but unlike before which strengthened the body, now the breathing could help reduce pain. So this immortal

    Ye Yuan returned to Green Leaf Town to sell some of the items he obtained from the Red Valley Sect members. Ye Yuan originally planned to go to the capital of Zhou Kingdom, but he would postpone it for a few days. Ye Yuan used half of the proceeds from the sale of the loot to buy herbs. Currently, Ye Yuan was in the inn room, refining a potion that could strengthen his physique. Because the pill furnace was too expensive and even a low quality one would cost Ye Yuan all his money, he didn't buy a furnace and couldn't refine pills. Although the effectiveness of pills would be better than potions, Ye Yuan had no other choice. If he bought a furnace then he would not be able to buy herbs, so it was better to just buy herbs and not buy a furnace. “Besides, the potions are easier to make.” Ye Yuan smiled after finishing his first potion. Without wasting any time, he immediately drank the potion, meditating to maximize the potion's effects. Ye Yuan had enough herbs to make 20 potions

    “Haha, feel what? I don’t feel anything. You’re just a swindler, now quickly roll out of this Pavilion!” Hearing the officer's words, the smile on Ye Yuan's face disappeared. Although he would not mind drinking the potion and would not sue him, it seemed that this person had no intention of resolving it properly. 'Heh, this kind of potion must be very rare and I'm sure he only has one, so he won't be able to prove it.' The officer tried to calm himself down, even though beads of sweat were already rolling down his forehead. “Hey old man, what do you mean? So this is how the Golden Flower Pavilion treats its customers?! What a joke!” Ye Yuan deliberately raised his voice so that the guards in the Pavilion building started to come over. Seeing the guards coming, the Officer smiled faintly. “Guards! This person wants to cause a commotion.” The officer pointed at Ye Yuan. “Quickly throw him out!” Because of the commotion, the other customers started to move away a little and whisper

    Everyone was speechless when they witnessed this, Dong Fu was actually killed in front of them. But absolutely no one protested, absolutely no one dared to protest, they could only watch and feel sorry, unable to help. “What now?” Zhang Zhi felt that he couldn’t be so relaxed now that he knew Ye Yuan’s merciless nature. “S-sir, forgive me for drinking your potion! Please spare my life!” Yu Huo was so afraid of being killed by Ye Yuan for drinking the young man’s potion. He knelt in front of Ye Yuan to beg for mercy. “Oh lord Dong Fu, you don’t have to kneel. I was the one who gave you the elixir, and you also stood up for me earlier, so I won’t sue you for that.” Ye Yuan smiled kindly, as if he didn’t feel guilty about having just taken a life. “T-thank you, sir, thank you.” Dong Fu felt relieved after hearing that. “Young master, you better follow me, it’s not good to speak in public like this.” Zhang Zhi wanted to quickly finish the business with Ye Yuan. "Oh okay." Ye Yuan

    Zhang Zhi not only prepared a room, but a residence, complete with a fairly large front yard. It is a place to stay for VIP guests in the golden flower pavilion. “Oh, this place is pretty good.” Ye Yuan didn’t expect to be given a small residence like this. “I am glad if young master likes it.” Zhang Zhi smiled simply. “Then I won’t disturb the young master’s time. I will order some men to guard the gates, preventing people from entering and if there is anything the young master needs, you can convey it to the guards.” Zhang Zhi cupped his hands. "Okay, I'll go in first." Ye Yuan walked into the residence, while Zhang Zhi walked away. Ye Yuan was now in a spacious room but there was nothing there at all, just an empty room. It was indeed not a bedroom but a meditation room for seeking tranquility. Ye Yuan wanted to use the room as a place to refine pills and cultivate at the same time. Ye Yuan placed the furnace in front of him and then sat cross-legged. “Those who can become

    Ye Yuan managed to break through to the Golden Core realm from the early-stage Silver Core realm in just 2 days. It was also because he had made preparations with his own resources for the previous 4 days. “Haha, it’s just breaking through one mortal cultivation level, but I feel so happy.” Ye Yuan stood up, stretched for a while while punching and kicking the air. “It does feel much better than before.” Ye Yuan nodded his head. “Alright, before I go out, I want to refine some pills in preparation for going to the Yun Empire.” Ye Yuan didn't want to stay here too long because he couldn't practice in this residence anymore. He needs to train his body harder out there, whether it's through weight training or fighting. Ye Yuan hoped to have a fight because it would be more effective than the physical training he did before. Ye Yuan spent 1 day to refine various tier 4 pills. With this he had spent a whole week in this residence. He then left the residence, it turned out that outs

    Ye Yuan read the list of items to be auctioned. They were all good things. There would be rare herbs, weapons, pills and various other treasures. Ye Yuan was only interested in the auctioned herbs and some other items. “So how is it young master Ye? Are you interested in joining the auction?” Yun Xiao asked after Ye Yuan turned to the last page. “It seems that the Golden Flower Pavilion has indeed prepared this auction very well, all the items up for auction are really interesting.” Ye Yuan handed over the treasure list book. “I’m interested in getting some stuff, but I don’t have any capital at all. So maybe I’ll have to sell something to get some capital.” Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel happy when she heard that. She hoped that Ye Yuan would sell good stuff and not disappoint her expectations. “Approximately how much does this pill cost, senior Yun?” Ye Yuan took out a wooden box. “Pills?” Yun Xiao had expected Ye Yuan to sell pure energy pills, but he didn’t. But pills? If

    “Then when will the auction start?” Ye Yuan asked. “1 more month. Does young master Ye want to go directly to the Yun Empire? Then how about we travel together? I also want to go directly back to the center.” “I do want to go straight to the Yun Empire, but I will travel alone.” "Oh I see." Yun Xiao nodded, not wanting to force Ye Yuan at all. “I have no more business here, senior Yun, so I will be leaving right away.” “Then let me walk you to the front gate.” They left, walking together at a leisurely pace. On the way they met Zhang Zhi, the middle-aged man also accompanied Ye Yuan. Until they arrived at the gate of the Pavilion, Ye Yuan gave a respectful greeting before quickly leaving, leaving Yun Xiao and Zhang Zhi there watching his back continue to retreat. 'Ye Yuan... is truly an interesting young man full of secrets.' Yun Xiao was truly curious about Ye Yuan's background. “Miss Yun, do we need to send some secret troops to guard young master Ye on the journey?” Zhang

    “So, what is it that Grandmaster Ye wishes to discuss? If you require the strength of the Yue Empire for anything, just say the word—we’ll assist as much as we can,” Yue Hong Yu said politely.“Yes, and this might be a little dangerous,” Ye Yuan replied, taking a sip of his tea. “Are you familiar with the Wuming Region, Lord Yue Hong?”“The Wuming Region?” Yue Hong Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking for a moment, trying to recall if he’d ever heard of such a place. “Hm… If it were a mid-tier or major region, I would certainly know it. Since I’ve never heard of it, it must be a low-tier region.”“Yes, the Wuming Region is indeed a low-tier region, and I came from there,” Ye Yuan nodded.“Oh, for such a region to have a brilliant alchemist like Grandmaster Ye—its cultivators must’ve been quite fortunate. Perhaps it won’t be long before that region ascends to mid-tier,” Yue Hong Yu praised.“No, because that region has already been destroyed,” Ye Yuan said calmly, shaking his head.His respo

    Now Yue Xue understood why Yue Tian Yu held Ye Yuan in such high regard. She was well aware of the pressure her younger brother endured because of his cultivation issues.Yue Xue didn’t know how to put her thoughts into proper words to comfort her brother. That’s why she often teased Yue Tian Yu—hoping that her antics could at least help him forget his cultivation troubles, even if just for a while.But she still had many questions. What exactly happened that caused Yue Tian Yu’s cultivation to soar so dramatically? It didn’t make any sense."Even so, my strength is still weak compared to other cultivators of the same level, because my cultivation increased without physical preparation or a solid foundation," Yue Tian Yu explained. "Luckily, Grandmaster Ye knew how to handle it, so I didn’t suffer any adverse effects during my breakthrough. But for now, I can’t use my energy recklessly—I need to train my body diligently so I can make full use of my cultivation power."“In that case, a

    Something happened just as Ye Yuan stepped down from the carriage—before he could even take a single step, a sudden attack came.Yue Tian Yu was knocked down, and now a beautiful girl stood in front of him with her sword blade nearly touching Ye Yuan’s neck.“Ahhh!! Sister! What are you doing?!” Yue Tian Yu quickly stood up, pushing his sister away from Ye Yuan and standing between them.“Haha, sorry, sorry. I just got too excited welcoming my little brother back—especially with a guest. Sorry for knocking you down in front of your friend,” the girl laughed, shrugging her shoulders as if what she did was merely a joke.“That’s not the issue here!” Yue Tian Yu turned around, looking at Ye Yuan who was still standing.Even though he clearly saw that Ye Yuan wasn’t hurt at all, it didn’t ease his mind in the slightest.“Grandmaster Ye, please accept my deepest apologies for my sister’s behavior!” Yue Tian Yu bowed, showing his remorse.The girl, seeing Yue Tian Yu bow like that, was both

Now, Ye Yuan was sitting inside the carriage together with Yue Tian Yu.Inside the carriage, Yue Tian Yu wanted to strike up a conversation with Ye Yuan. However, feeling awkward, he didn’t know what to say.That was until Ye Yuan took out several herbs, ranging from tier 5 to tier 6.Yue Tian Yu was initially confused. He was curious, but didn’t ask anything—he simply watched intently, wondering what Ye Yuan was going to do with the herbs.Then, Ye Yuan conjured a fireball large enough to be circled with both hands. Yue Tian Yu raised an eyebrow, becoming even more curious, especially since he didn’t feel any heat coming from the flame. But he quickly realized that it wasn’t because the fire had no temperature, but because the energy surrounding the fire kept the heat from escaping outward.What Ye Yuan did next left Yue Tian

    Following Yue Tian Yu’s successful breakthrough, Feng Kong and the Elders of the Pill Emperor Mountain held a modest celebration.Of course, it wasn’t meant for Yue Tian Yu, but rather for Ye Yuan and the Elders themselves, as they had gained much new knowledge.Naturally, Yue Tian Yu was also invited to the event.It was a simple celebration—eating and drinking the finest wine available in Pill Emperor Mountain.Feng Kong brought out his best wine, which earned praise from Ye Yuan, much to the delight of Feng Kong and the Elders.The Elders didn’t just praise Ye Yuan—they also took the opportunity to speak proudly about Pill Emperor Mountain, which had stood for thousands of years, boasting about the accomplishments of the alchemists there in an attempt to impress Ye Yuan.Although Ye Yuan didn’t find it particularly extraordinary, he still complimented them politely.They also discussed several other topics during the gathering.Once the event concluded, Feng Kong took Ye Yuan on a

    The impact of Yue Tian Yu’s breakthrough was immense—it destroyed a large portion of the forest. The mountain where he had been meditating was now completely gone, and he floated cross-legged in the air.For a moment, he was amazed by the power he gained after breaking through, but then he suddenly remembered something. Looking around at the devastated surroundings and the dark clouds still crackling with lightning, Yue Tian Yu's expression turned pale.“Grandmaster Ye!”Yue Tian Yu had often heard how easily a Holy Emperor could kill a Martial Emperor. He had personally experienced the overwhelming strength of a Holy Emperor before. Even their raw physical strength alone was enough to slam him into the ground.The thought that the shockwave from his energy explosion might have hit Ye Yuan made Yue Tian Yu panic. He feared that Ye Yuan might have been seriously injured or even...He didn't want to think any further. Without delay, he turned around and shot off to find Ye Yuan.**Ye Y

    Ye Yuan was flung violently, his body shooting out of the forest’s boundary like a bullet gone astray. Massive trees in his path were crushed and toppled one by one as his body smashed through them mercilessly. He continued to slide across the ground, tearing up the earth and leaving a long trail, until finally crashing into a large boulder with a deafening thud. Only then did his body come to a halt, lying among the debris.“Ugh... Fortunately, my body is strong. Otherwise, I would have been severely injured by now.” Ye Yuan's body trembled.Although Yue Tian Yu’s energy explosion had only caused external burns, internal injuries had also formed.“Some of my ribs are broken, but it’s nothing serious.” Ye Yuan brushed away the rubble pressing down on him.“Brother Ye!”Just as Ye Yuan stood up, he heard Feng Kong’s voice. Turning around, he saw the Grand Master of the Pill Emperor Mountain looking panicked, rushing toward him.“Brother Ye! Are you alright?”Feng Kong had been shocked

    Inside the special reception hall of the Imperial Yue Palace, Yue Tian Yu consumed the pill given by Ye Yuan, feeling the energy from the pill flow throughout his body.At first, it didn’t feel any different from the other grade-8 pills he had taken before.However, as Ye Yuan began to control the flow of energy, something unexpected happened—something that shocked him.The energy suddenly concentrated at a single point in his upper left chest. It felt as if an arrow had pierced through his heart.“Endure the pain! Stay focused!” Ye Yuan quickly reminded him as he saw Yue Tian Yu’s reaction.Yue Tian Yu didn’t respond verbally. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused, trying to ignore the searing pain. Still, it was far from easy. Every passing second felt like hundreds of arrows were repeatedly stabbing into the same spot in his chest.“I’m channeling the energy toward your energy nodes. Some of your energy points are absorbing the flow, so more parts of your body will experience pai

    In truth, the herbs Ye Yuan had requested weren’t needed at all to refine the pill required for Yue Tian Yu’s treatment.He had asked for them solely for his own use. Yes, it was a trick—a subtle way to obtain the herbs without raising suspicion.“Grandmaster Ye, have you treated cultivators with the same cultivation issue as mine before?” Yue Tian Yu asked after Feng Kong had left the room.“Quite frequently,” Ye Yuan nodded. “And you know, Prince Yue, the issue you’re dealing with… is actually something most cultivators dream of.”“Eh? What do you mean, Grandmaster?” Yue Tian Yu was clearly confused.To him, this cultivation problem was a dreadful affliction that had haunted him for the past ten years, potentially causing his cultivation to regress. How could something like that be a cultivator’s dream? Was this just a way to make him feel better?“It’s common knowledge that unopened energy nodes store energy. The higher the cultivation, the more energy gets stored inside. If a cult
