Chapter 136: Congratulatory Gift

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Congratulatory Gift

Back at the manor.

Everyone was immersed in the medicinal fragrance!

Even Little Heizi and the others had gathered, sniffing the fragrant air with expressions of pure bliss!

Only Ye Yunyi was focused, sensing the state of the concoction inside the cauldron.

He didn’t dare to relax for even a moment.

Even with his God Level Alchemy Skill!

After all, this particular batch was quite special.

So many Mutated Plants, plus a Late-Star Stage Exotic Beast Crystal Core!

Fusing them all required extreme caution!

’It’s almost ready!’

Ye Yunyi sensed it with his eyes closed, then snapped them open, a flash of excitement in his gaze!

He immediately lifted the lid!

A plume of fragrant mist billowed out!

The concentration of the aroma throughout the manor instantly intensified severalfold!

Yu Yan and the others felt a sense of clarity wash over their bodies in an instant!

It was as if their very souls were floating on clouds!

But they quickly came back to their senses.

They rushed over, ready to help Ye Yunyi roll the medicine into pills!

But when they arrived, they were stunned speechless!

There was no need for them to roll any pills at all!

Inside the cauldron was a single pill!

It was crystalline and translucent!

Faint specks of starlight even shimmered on its surface!

It was just like the starlight on the Star Level Exotic Beast Crystal Core!

Ye Yunyi gazed at it, then picked it up!

Instantly!

He could feel the immense power surging within it!

It was simply terrifying!

’If I take this, along with the other medicine the Eighth King General gave me, breaking through to the Mid-Star Stage should be just around the corner!’

"Alright, stop staring."

Ye Yunyi felt a wave of wry amusement as he watched the girls beside him crane their necks to get a better look.

’These girls... they’re really something else.’

"Here, why don’t you have it?"

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s words, the girls were all taken aback.

They looked at the pill.

’Something like this... is it something we can actually take?!’

’If we took this, wouldn’t our bodies just explode?!’

They immediately waved their hands in refusal. "No, no, we couldn’t. It’s better if you take it, darling."

"That’s right, how could we possibly withstand its medicinal power?"

"Don’t you already know how much we can handle?"

"Hm?"

After that last comment, everyone turned to look at the speaker. Well now, someone was trying to be clever and slip in a dirty joke.

The next moment!

There was a knock on the door. Ye Yunyi went to open it.

He was greeted by the sight of several young men standing at the entrance.

"And you are?"

"We’re from the Medicine Alliance. You may not be familiar with us, but we’re based in the Fire Barrier, another large barrier not far from the Cyan Ink Barrier!"

The young man spoke with a proud expression, especially when mentioning the Medicine Alliance.

Ye Yunyi listened. ’Fire Barrier?’

He had heard of it before; it was indeed a large barrier.

It was also relatively close to the Cyan Ink Barrier.

Furthermore, considering what the young man had just said about them being from the Medicine Alliance...

Ye Yunyi had already figured out the gist of the situation!

Then, the young man noticed the rich fragrance clinging to Ye Yunyi. "Excuse me, were you just performing Alchemy in there?"

"I was. What about it?"

Ye Yunyi nodded.

"May I see the medicine you’ve refined?"

The young man’s eyes burned with fervor.

His tone even carried a hint of a command.

This made Ye Yunyi frown. "Who do you think you are? Why should I show you?"

The young man: "..."

He was momentarily speechless.

Then he recovered and said, "I’d like to invite you to join our Medicine Alliance. You may not know much about us, but our Medicine Alliance is primarily composed of Alchemists."

"Many top-tier Alchemists are with us!"

"If you join, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with those top-tier Alchemists."

"Plus, we’ll split the profits from selling your medicines 60/40."

Hm?!

Ye Yunyi paused, then laughed in disbelief. "The medicine I refine, and I have to give you a forty-percent cut?"

"The forty percent is for you. We have the most comprehensive channels and widespread connections. You could practically do whatever you want without fear of being bullied. Money won’t be a big issue for you."

The next moment!

As soon as he finished speaking, the main door slammed shut in his face!

SLAM!

A dull thud echoed as the door was slammed shut in his face!

Instantly, the young man’s expression soured!

Veins bulged on his forehead!

He glared at the manor, killing intent slowly gathering in his eyes!

After all, he was used to being admired by everyone. When had he ever been subjected to such disrespect?!

Whenever he recruited other Alchemists, they were always tripping over themselves to please him!

Everyone has their specialty, after all, and Alchemists were rarely powerful fighters. The offer of protection from the Medicine Alliance was usually enough to make them ecstatic!

Nothing like this had ever happened!

He immediately prepared to force his way in!

But the next moment!

His companions grabbed him!

"Wait, what are you trying to do?!"

"Don’t be reckless!"

"I heard from the people over there that this guy is actually quite strong!"

The young man snorted. ’Quite strong?’

’How strong could he be?’

’Everyone has their specialty. How many truly skilled Alchemists are also powerful experts?’

Seeing the young man’s disbelief, the other person continued, "This man... he’s probably a Star Level expert. Before, he killed an Early-Star Stage Mutant! He’s terrifying!"

The young man: "..."

What?!

What did you just say?!

He killed a Mutant of what Level?!

Huh?!

The young man’s eyes went wide in an instant, unable to believe what he had just heard!

’Killed an Early-Star Stage Mutant?!’

’It’s a good thing I didn’t charge in just now, or I’d be a pile of mush!’

"I think we need to hurry back and report this to the Alliance Leader."

"Hmph."

The young man’s face was grim as he thought, already formulating what he was going to say.

"Let’s go!"

"Back for now!"

With that, the group left.

Meanwhile, not far away, a crowd of Mutants lingered, unwilling to leave.

They remained outside the manor, greedily breathing in the fragrant air!

Gradually, a rumor began to spread throughout the barrier.

Ye Yunyi wasn’t just a powerful expert; he was also a veteran Alchemist!

In a short time, this news spread like wildfire through the barrier!

When people heard it, their jaws dropped. He was an Alchemist, too?!

What the hell, was there anything he couldn’t do?!

"Men, prepare a lavish gift for me!"

"I’m going to present it to Lord Ye at the grand banquet tonight!"

"Someone, prepare a fine gift. Our family must build a good relationship with Lord Ye."

"Dammit, what’s with our family’s genes? Can’t we find a single good-looking girl in this entire clan?! Huh?!"

...

In an instant, one family after another began to make preparations!

They all prepared congratulatory gifts, planning to curry favor with Ye Yunyi that evening!

After all, he was a veteran Alchemist!

That was an incredible status to hold!

Such a person was simply too valuable!

Combined with Ye Yunyi’s previous feats, his standing in everyone’s eyes rose to another level!

He had reached a height that was almost unattainable!
