Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: Damn Disloyal! (3rd Update)
"I’ve heard that everyone in the Tu Family knows alchemy, do you? If you can help me with alchemy, I’ll let you go,"
Ye Haochuan looked at Tu Hongyan, whose face was filled with confusion, and asked with a smile.
"Ah! Alchemy? Yes, yes, yes, we came up the mountain this time to gather herbs for alchemy."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Tu Hongyan’s eyes brightened, and his little head started nodding rapidly, looking just like a sped-up version of a Fortune Cat’s little paw.
"So, do you know how to make the Snow Condensation Revival Pill?"
Having just acquired the Tu Family’s pill recipe, Ye Haochuan now wanted to study other people’s alchemy methods.
In his mind, having obtained three Holy Land Snow Lotuses, using one to learn would still be profitable.
"Snow Condensation Revival Pill?"
Tu Hongyan’s eyes widened instantly, and a trace of golden light flickered persistently in his eyes. Could it be that we still have a chance to complete the mission?
"Yes, the Snow Condensation Revival Pill that can detoxify and replenish vitality, can you make it?" Ye Haochuan repeated sincerely.
Then, he paused briefly before continuing: "Yang Sen from the Institute of Extensive Learning was infected with the Corpse Decay Poison and needs this pill for detoxification, can you make it?"
Ah! Is this guy also after Yang Sen?
Hearing this, Tu Hongyan’s heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.
No way, my brothers and I have been waiting for this opportunity to earn the favor of the Yang Family, I can’t let this guy steal it.
"What? Can’t you do it?"
Seeing Tu Hongyan’s head down and silent, Ye Haochuan asked with a hint of disappointment.
"Yes, but I have two conditions. First, let the three of us go home safely. Second, I want a Snow Condensation Revival Pill as the remuneration for the alchemy."
Tu Hongyan had no idea what Ye Haochuan was thinking. He rolled his eyes and, under the temptation of task rewards, his little head began spinning rapidly.
"Oh, you dare to negotiate terms with me?" Ye Haochuan smiled playfully.
"No, it’s a request. Our Tu Family needs this pill for research. You know, our Tu Family is a renowned medicinal cultivator family with a crazy desire for all precious pills."
Tu Hongyan put on a look of great righteousness, unafraid of life and death, but his trembling legs mercilessly betrayed him.
"Alright, I’ll give you one."
Ye Haochuan thought that since he had obtained the pill recipe, what was one pill?
"I have one more request. I need my eldest brother’s help. You know, this pill is very difficult to make."
Seeing Ye Haochuan agree, Tu Hongyan felt relieved, his legs stopped trembling, and he started talking more.
Is this pill difficult to make? Could it be that the medicinal skills of the Tu Family are so poor? It shouldn’t be, right?
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was speechless, but considering the value of the pill recipe, he nodded.
"Then let’s begin. Wake up your elder brother; I’ll save the person in the lake."
Ye Haochuan instructed, then with a flicker, he brought Tu Honglang from the lake to the shore. He was a man of his word and would always fulfill his promises.
He took out the first Holy Land Snow Lotus he secured and placed it by Tu Honglang’s nose. The gentle fragrance enveloped Tu Honglang, and soon, it expelled the poison from his body.
Meanwhile, Tu Hongbai was slowly waking up with the help of Tu Hongyan.
"Wow, truly worthy of a medicinal cultivator family, they’ve got a lot of good stuff!"
Ye Haochuan clicked his tongue twice, handed the Holy Land Snow Lotus in his hand to Tu Hongyan, and said, "Here you go, hurry up."
At this moment.
"Brat, go to hell!"
The newly awakened Tu Honglang punched towards Ye Haochuan’s back.
"Go!"
Ye Haochuan shouted softly, a purple lotus flame appeared in his hand, transforming into a cluster of sparks that instantly engulfed Tu Honglang’s upper body, incinerating his green robe without harming him in the slightest.
Poom~
At the same time, Ye Haochuan kicked Tu Honglang, sending him flying.
"Ah..."
Tu Honglang let out a miserable cry and slammed into the cave wall, naked on his upper half.
Hiss~
Seeing Tu Honglang plastered against the cave wall, Tu Hongbai and Tu Hongyan gasped. They dared to swear that Ye Haochuan definitely had the combat power of a Core Formation Peak and had reached an extremely high level of control over his strength.
Tu Hongyan hurriedly apologized to Ye Haochuan, gaining his forgiveness, and then gathered with Tu Hongbai and Tu Honglang, recounting what had happened before.
"Hurry and perform alchemy."
Seeing that they were all ready, Ye Haochuan urged them from the side.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
At this point, the three had already accepted that Ye Haochuan was a master they couldn’t afford to offend, not daring to defy him.
Quickly, a tripod alchemy furnace was set up by the three, with herbs placed beside them.
Once entering the state of alchemy, the three quickly forgot about Ye Haochuan and immersed themselves wholeheartedly in the grand undertaking of alchemy.
"Three talents!"
The trio shouted in unison, each standing at a leg of the furnace, continuously forming seals with their hands, causing herbs to automatically enter the alchemy furnace along with their movements.
"Heavenly Fire, Earthly Fire, Human Fire, the three fires combined..."
With their actions, the last main ingredient, Holy Land Snow Lotus, was also added into the alchemy furnace.
Hehe, luckily, I was smart and didn’t use force; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been certain whether I could withstand their combined attack.
While Ye Haochuan was observing inside the furnace, he analyzed their alchemy method, refining it into his own knowledge, feeling a sense of pride in his strategic foresight.
This ability of having my spirit enter the alchemy furnace was something I couldn’t do before. It was only possible because my control improved due to insights gained during the journey up the mountain.
Suddenly.
Whoosh~
The alchemy furnace shook.
Instantly, the three cried out in shock, "Oh no! It’s going to explode!"
"Let go!"
As the three panicked, a purple lotus flame flew under the alchemy furnace, accompanied by a low shout.
"Retreat!"
With a loud shout, the three were shaken away from the alchemy furnace.
The Tu Family’s alchemy was commendable, but unfortunately, these three were inexperienced. Were it not for me, well, well...
After taking control of the alchemy furnace, Ye Haochuan sighed briefly, then ignored the trio.
"Big... big brother, look at the alchemy furnace..."
Tu Honglang suddenly pointed at the alchemy furnace in astonishment.
Tu Hongbai and Tu Hongyan, hearing this, looked up, only to be horrified to find that the furnace, which was about to explode, was now like a well-behaved child, quietly controlled by Ye Haochuan.
What the hell! Who is this guy? His level of alchemy might even rival that of our grandfather!
Exchanging glances, the three saw the alarm in each other’s eyes.
Ye Haochuan was unaware of their thoughts, as his spirit was entirely focused on the alchemy furnace.
Heating, cooling, intense burning, simmering, compressing, battering...
Inside the alchemy furnace, Ye Haochuan controlled the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame, performing a series of high-difficulty maneuvers.
"Open!"
By the time the three were still in shock, Ye Haochuan had already completed the final step.
Looking at the six jade-like, crystalline pills in the alchemy furnace, the Tu Family brothers collectively transformed into legendary divine beasts, looking like dumbfounded geese.
"Here, this one’s for you."
Ye Haochuan neither saw the expressions of the three "divine beasts" nor had time to concern himself with the extent of their psychological trauma.
Happily putting away five pills, he handed the last pill, still in the furnace, to Tu Hongyan.
Suddenly.
Roar~
A roar that shook the heavens and earth came from the large hole above.
What the hell! What’s going on?
Ye Haochuan looked up to see that overhead, rows of demon beasts, led by a Cold Jade Snow Kirin, were descending.
Roar, roar, roar~
A chaotic cacophony of roars erupted.
It turns out this place was the pit at the bottom of that cliff.
Listening to that familiar roar, Ye Haochuan’s face turned pale instantly; he finally understood where he was.
At that moment, a tentacle reached out from the lake, swiping towards them.
"Run!"
Upon seeing this, the three Tu brothers didn’t hesitate and bolted.
Damn it, running at the first sign of trouble, what a lack of loyalty!
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly, but he also knew that having known these three for just a few hours with some conflicts, expecting loyalty from them was wishful thinking.
Fortunately, although the tentacle was troublesome, Ye Haochuan could still handle it. After several hours of entanglement, he found an opportunity and finally managed to escape.
