The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2473 - 2462: Breakthrough in Secret

Just as Wu Zhiming was about to take Ye Chenfeng and the others away from the Alchemy Square.The sound of "Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!—" rang out one after another.

Only to see, above the entire Alchemy Square.

Hundreds of the Wus’ disciples who were currently doing alchemy, the elixir pills inside the Medicine Cauldrons before them were burning into ashes one after another.

This scene happened far too suddenly.

Those Wus’ disciples who were doing alchemy tried their best to control the flames in their Medicine Cauldrons, but in the end they still couldn’t avoid the elixir pills exploding; all of this was completely beyond their control.

When Ye Chenfeng saw this, his heart gave a jolt. Along with that special Profound Meaning continuously entering his body through his feet, his body was autonomously absorbing the power of the Profound Meaning while he was simultaneously comprehending it.

He had a feeling that if this continued, if he were given just a bit more time, he might directly be able to rely on the Profound Meaning here to step into the ranks of Ninth Grade Alchemists. This was a stroke of fortune for him.

After stepping into a Ninth Grade Alchemist.

The types of elixir pills he could refine would increase greatly. He knew that among Ninth Grade Elixir Pills, there was one type specially prepared for experts at the Peak of the Divine King Realm. By taking this kind of pill, a Peak of the Divine King Realm expert could directly cross into the Early Divine Venerable Realm.

The pill formula for this elixir was created by Old Bai himself. After all, he had been in soul-form for an extremely long time. Before he met Ye Chenfeng, he would, out of boredom, try to develop some pill formulas on his own.

It could be said that this pill formula was unique in this world. Because it was developed by Old Bai after turning into a soul, even the Wus today did not have this pill formula.

After all, between the Peak of the Divine King Realm and the Early Divine Venerable Realm, there was a very distinct dividing line. Crossing it was not so simple. Most who could reach the Peak of the Divine King Realm might never in their lifetime step into the ranks of Divine Venerable experts.

So.

For the current Ye Chenfeng, once he could step into Ninth Grade Alchemist, it would also mean that stepping into the Divine Venerable Realm shouldn’t be too far off.

Wu Zhiming’s brows furrowed tightly. His senses immediately spread outward, and he instantly felt that the Profound Meaning beneath the ground was rapidly flowing away.

But he could only sense that it was flowing away; he could not determine in which direction it was flowing, because Old Bai and Old Hei’s powers were covering it up.

For the current Wus, this Alchemy Square was absolutely extremely important. Wu Zhiming absolutely could not allow anything to happen to it. If the Profound Meaning beneath the Alchemy Square continued to flow away like this, it wouldn’t take long before this Alchemy Square would completely lose its function.

The Wus’ disciples who were doing alchemy on the square all had puzzled expressions on their faces, because something like this had never happened before.

The two branch-ancestor old monsters, Wu Ren and Wu Yuancài, had their eyes grow solemn as well.

Under the cover of Old Bai and Old Hei’s power.

Ye Chenfeng continuously absorbed the Profound Meaning pouring into his body, constantly comprehending it.

Gradually, Ye Chenfeng slowly entered a very mysterious state; his consciousness entered an illusion.

He began doing alchemy in that illusion. As long as he successfully refined a Ninth Grade Elixir there, he would in reality also advance to a Ninth Grade Alchemist.

When Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness entered the illusion.

The entire Alchemy Square began to tremble.

With a "Boom!"

A dazzling purple light burst up from beneath the ground and then rapidly shot toward Ye Chenfeng and the others.

This dazzling purple light did not contain powerful force; it only appeared imposing on the surface.

It was obvious that this dazzling purple light had also been triggered because of Ye Chenfeng.

Most likely, the purple light was going to envelop Ye Chenfeng.

But once Ye Chenfeng was shrouded by the purple light, he would immediately be exposed. At that time everyone in the Wus would focus on him, and right now he still hadn’t understood the internal situation within the Wus.

After all, the Moon Fairy he encountered back on the Profound Continent had vanished without a trace, and there was extreme strangeness hidden in that!

Old Bai and Old Hei naturally also sensed that the purple light’s target should be Ye Chenfeng. Their extremely concealed power directly blocked the purple light, forcing it to change direction.

In the end, with a "Boom," it directly shrouded Wu Qishui.

Wu Qishui, who had originally been watching the commotion with a spectator’s mindset, was instantly dumbfounded. What was going on?

When Wu Zhiming saw the purple light envelop Wu Qishui, his eyes narrowed. "Was it you who caused the Profound Meaning beneath the Alchemy Square to flow away? Are you the one absorbing the Profound Meaning from under the Alchemy Square? Ordinary people fundamentally can’t cause any change to the Profound Meaning below. Could it be that your alchemy talent surpasses everyone in the Wus?"

Wu Zhiming’s words spread across the square.

Wu Qishui, shrouded in the purple light, felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his ears buzzed.

He couldn’t believe any of this, but the purple light was indeed enveloping him. In his heart he thought, "I’m a genius? I—I’m an alchemy genius? Does my alchemy talent surpass everyone in the Wus? There must have been a mistake when they tested my alchemy talent in the branch family before."

"I, Wu Qishui, am an alchemy genius. I knew I definitely wouldn’t be just an ordinary member of the Wus. Sooner or later I’ll step into the ranks of the Wus’ core disciples."

But Wu Qishui hadn’t felt anything from beginning to end! Even now, shrouded in the purple light, looking incredibly awesome on the surface, he still didn’t feel a thing.

Wu Qishui kept forcing himself to calm down, muttering inwardly, "There must be something I haven’t sensed yet. I’m shrouded in this purple light—there’s absolutely no way that’s wrong."

The Profound Meaning beneath the Alchemy Square was still continuously flowing away.

Only after half of it had flowed away did the trend finally stop and slowly come to a halt.

And Ye Chenfeng, who was wearing a mask, had his consciousness detach from the illusion. A certain excitement flickered in his eyes.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Just now, in the illusion, he had successfully refined a type of Ninth Grade Elixir.

In other words, the current Ye Chenfeng had advanced from an Eighth Grade Alchemist to a Ninth Grade Alchemist, only one step away from a Supreme Alchemist.

He glanced at Wu Qishui, who was standing within the purple light and shrouded by it.

At this moment, Wu Qishui’s face was full of excitement, extreme arrogance written all over it. He really believed he was the one who had absorbed the Profound Meaning beneath the Alchemy Square.

Ye Chenfeng casually shook his head. This was not the time for him to show off. It was better for him to keep a low profile for now; that would make it easier to understand the internal affairs of the Wus from the shadows.
