Chapter 144: Even the 8th King General was Stunned

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Even the 8th King General was Stunned

The Patriarchs’ eyes widened as they thought about it, unable to believe what they were hearing.

What the hell!

This was too absurd!

In that instant, the Patriarchs who had formed marriage ties with Ye Yunyi couldn’t suppress the smiles on their faces.

’We’ve really hit the jackpot!’

At the same time!

「Meanwhile, with the Eighth King General.」

A Dark Guard approached.

The Eighth King General looked at him. "You’re back? How did it go? Ye Yunyi is over there... he’s not in any danger, is he?"

That one question made the Dark Guard’s lip twitch.

He simply didn’t know how to respond.

He looked at the Eighth King General.

And recounted the events of the previous night.

WHOOSH!

Shangguan Yulan shot to her feet as she listened.

She never expected this would be the outcome!

She looked at the Dark Guard. Yesterday, when Ye Yunyi had gone to the Fire Barrier, she had feared something might go wrong and sent a squad of Dark Guards to follow him.

This squad was not to be underestimated.

Though small in number, they were incredibly powerful.

They were all at the Mid-Star Stage or Early-Star Stage.

Combined with Ye Yunyi’s own strength!

So she hadn’t been too worried all night.

’Worst case, if he really can’t handle it, he can just use my name!’

But she never would have guessed.

Ye Yunyi had directly taken over the Medicine Alliance!

And the Patriarchs over there had even shown him so much respect, coming directly to congratulate him!

’It’s madness. This world has gone completely mad!’

"King General, that’s not all. We discovered that Ye Yunyi also has a squad of Dark Guards!"

Hm?!

’Well, I’ll be damned,’ Shangguan Yulan thought as she listened. ’I didn’t think Ye Yunyi would have an ace up his sleeve, that he’d cultivated his own force.’

In her mind, Ye Yunyi had always been a lone wolf.

"How many? What’s their strength?"

Shangguan Yulan asked casually. After all, he had probably trained these Dark Guards in one of the previous barriers, so their strength couldn’t be too high.

But, in the next moment...

"I did a rough estimate. There should be over a hundred of them, and their strength is, at a minimum, the Early-Star Stage!"

"What did you say?!"

Over a hundred people!

And their strength was at least Early-Star Stage!

This...!

In that instant, Shangguan Yulan couldn’t sit still any longer!

’Where did this guy get so many powerful experts?!’

Over a hundred powerful Mutants at or above the Early-Star Stage!

Even Shangguan Yulan’s lip twitched.

This...!

’How is this possible?!’

You have to understand, Ye Yunyi had only arrived at a major barrier like the Cyan Ink Barrier a short time ago!

’How could he have developed his forces so quickly?!’

’Besides, there aren’t that many experts in the Cyan Ink Barrier for him to recruit!’

’Then, there’s only one possible explanation!’

’That guy!’

’He trained them himself!’

’He’s an Alchemist, after all!’

’He must have concocted the medicines and raised them himself!’

’But how many resources would it take to cultivate so many experts?!’

For a moment, the Eighth King General just sat there, completely unable to wrap her head around it.

But she was realizing more and more that the current Ye Yunyi was gradually becoming her equal.

’This guy is unbelievable!’

"Alright, go and gather more information. In any case, if Ye Yunyi runs into any trouble, you are to step in and help!"

The Dark Guard: "..."

’If Lord Ye runs into trouble, would our help even be useful?!’

’His own power, plus the strength of all those Dark Guards of his...’

’If he still runs into a problem he can’t handle, it would probably take several King Generals to deal with it!’

For a moment, the Dark Guard was screaming internally.

Seeing his silence, Shangguan Yulan reflected on what she had just said and sighed.

"Anyway, if anything happens, just use my name."

"Yes, King General!"

Then, the Dark Guard departed.

After the Dark Guard left, the Eighth King General frowned, lost in thought.

But she couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

「Meanwhile, in the manor.」

Ye Yunyi thought about all the medicines in the Medicine Alliance.

’I should go exchange a bunch of them right away!’

Besides, he’d been thinking his medicine fields weren’t big enough. Now, wasn’t this the perfect solution?

It seemed he would be spending a lot of time at the Medicine Alliance from now on.

After all, once he got the place up and running, he wouldn’t have to go to all the trouble of performing Alchemy himself anymore!

’Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit back and reap the rewards?!’

No sooner said than done.

Ye Yunyi let out a whistle.

The Qingling Roc took flight!

Ye Yunyi stepped onto the Roc!

And soared into the distance!

At the Roc’s current speed, it would only take a short while to reach the Fire Barrier.

「At the Medicine Alliance.」

The senior members all looked exhausted. They hadn’t slept at all the previous night.

They knew that their old lives of flaunting their power and living in luxury were likely over.

They had scrambled to get up early this morning and began frantically concocting medicines.

After all, the image of Kong Jian’s head exploding yesterday was still seared into their minds.

They had to make a good impression on the new Alliance Leader, or their lives could be snuffed out in an instant.

While they were working...

they felt a massive shadow fall over them from the sky.

They looked up!

WHOA!

’What is that?!’

They stared. ’What a huge bird!’

The giant bird circled above the Medicine Alliance for a moment...

before landing.

Just as everyone was trembling with shock, they saw Ye Yunyi dismount.

Ye Yunyi had circled twice. ’Not bad!’ he thought.

’These guys know what’s good for them, getting so busy. If they had been slacking off today, I wouldn’t have minded making an example out of a few of them.’

As soon as Ye Yunyi landed, a senior member approached, his face wreathed in smiles. "Alliance Leader!"

"Bring me a list of all the medicines."

"Right away!"

A short while later, a huge ledger appeared before Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi looked at it, then checked the synthesis paths for his exchange Skill.

’Hm?!’

’This one’s good!’

’They happen to have a Fetal Protection Medicine here!’

’Although, the resource cost is immense.’

’It takes several hundred pills to synthesize a single one!’

’Whatever!’

’I’ll synthesize this first!’

Then, Ye Yunyi went into the pharmacy and began the synthesis.

A little while later!

A bag of pills appeared in Ye Yunyi’s hand.

Ye Yunyi took one out to examine it, and even he had to nod in approval.

’Not bad, not bad at all.’

The pill was crystal clear, as if carved from jade.

It also exuded a medicinal fragrance, and Ye Yunyi could feel a gentle warmth from within it.

It wasn’t like the advancement pills he usually took, which contained violent Energy.

Next, Ye Yunyi began to exchange for other medicines according to the synthesis paths.

Ye Yunyi looked at the hundred or so pills he had successfully exchanged for in the end.

A smile spread across his face.

These were all top-grade medicines!

They had all sorts of functions, and every one was of the highest quality!

’It’d be a joke if they weren’t!’

’How could a pill exchanged from thousands, even tens of thousands, of other medicines be anything but exceptional?’

Ye Yunyi immediately stored all these medicines in his System Space. ℯℯ𝑙.

As for the Medicine Alliance, only a few tens of thousands of miscellaneous medicines were left.

If those senior members found out, they would probably go numb from shock.

But how could Ye Yunyi let them know about this? Not only could they not know...

Ye Yunyi thought, ’In the future, I’ll have to find a way to make these diligent workers even more diligent.’
