Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Chapter Fifty-Seven: On the Road

The spatial wormhole in Xuantian City still exudes a certain grandeur, after all, it's managed by Yin Gu. Moreover, judging from the spatial fluctuations slowly emanating from within, this spatial wormhole must have been maintained by powerful individuals from time to time.

Song Lian greeted Ye Chen and the others, then took out a somewhat complicated-looking silver boat from his storage ring, rubbed it between his palms, and then stepped lightly into the slowly rotating dark wormhole.

Seeing this, Ye Chen, Song Qing, and the others followed closely behind...

Within the silent spatial passage, Ye Chen and the others appeared. Song Lian, who entered first, raised his hand and tossed the small silver boat into the wind, transforming it into a massive ship.

Spaceships are not uncommon in Zhongzhou, let alone someone like Ye Chen, the young master of the Ye family, who currently possesses a top-tier spaceship in his storage ring.

However, although spaceships are not uncommon, this was Ye Chen's first time riding one, so his eyes were filled with a sense of novelty.

The group leaped onto the giant ship. Song Lian, with practiced ease, touched a spot on the bow, and a ring of energy shield quickly extended outwards, enveloping the ship. The ship then shuddered and suddenly accelerated, hurtling towards the seemingly endless wormhole in space.

Then, Song Lian turned around and smiled at Ye Chen, Yin Wu, and the others on the ship: "It takes seven days to get from here to Dan City, and about three days to get from Dan City to Sheng Dan City, so we are afraid we will not arrive at Sheng Dan City for another ten days."

During this time, you can rest inside the spaceship. There are private rooms inside. As for controlling the spaceship, leave it to me and Song Qing..."

Yin Wu didn't say anything to Song Lian's words and went straight into the ship. However, an old woman who was with her stayed behind and said to Song Lian, "Hehe, Master Song, you should rest. You can leave the operation of the space ship to me."

“This…” Song Lian hesitated. Although the other party claimed to be Yin Wu’s servant, he was still a person from Yin Gu, and Song Lian dared not be negligent.

Moreover, this old woman looked ordinary, yet she gave off a feeling of being on the edge of an abyss. Even Hu Tian couldn't discern her strength, so she was clearly no ordinary person.

Having such a powerful individual pilot their spaceship was something that not only Song Lian but also Ye Chen felt was somewhat inappropriate.

But the other party seemed very firm in their stance, refusing even Hu Tian's offer of help.

Reluctantly, Song Lian had no choice but to give up the driver's seat.

Just as the old woman took over the control of the spaceship, Ye Chen and the others felt the entire giant ship shudder, and then its speed suddenly doubled...

Song Lian's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the other person in disbelief.

Although his own spaceship was an advanced spaceship, its speed could never possibly reach such a terrifying level. It was entirely due to the old woman's control over spatial power that she forcibly increased the speed of the spaceship.

If that's the case, then this old woman's strength is terrifying...

Song Lian shook his head with a wry smile. No wonder they didn't want him to take action. It wasn't out of politeness, but because they thought his spaceship was too slow!

Seeing this, Song Lian said to Ye Chen and the others, "Alright, it seems we can reduce the time we spend on this journey by a lot..."

Back in their respective rooms, Ye Chen continued his diligent cultivation as usual.

However, what he didn't expect was that because it was in space...

Because he was inside the passage, he was unable to absorb star power from the outside world to condense star essence.

This was something he hadn't expected at first, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

It's only for a few days anyway, and he still has meteorites to absorb...

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was only a Dou Ling at this time and had no understanding of spatial power at all. Otherwise, he could have taken advantage of the rich spatial power in this passage to comprehend it properly.

Traveling through the spatial passage was monotonous and silent. However, this did not pose any problem for Ye Chen, who was used to cultivating alone.

During the several days of travel, Ye Chen stayed in his room, absorbing the star power from the meteorite and condensing it into his own star essence.

However, there were only ten meteorites to begin with, and Ye Chen had already absorbed half of them, so he had to stop after two days.

Frowning, Ye Chen pondered to himself, "There are still about two days until we reach Dan City. What should I do in these two days..."

Practice alchemy?

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the time is too short. I estimate that we won't even be able to refine one batch of pills before we reach our destination.

"That's it!" Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought to himself, "The prize for the champion of the Alchemist Conference was provided by both the Song and Lu families. So the ten meteorites must be related to the Song family. Why don't I ask Song Qing if he knows anything about it..."

Someone who can produce a meteorite so readily must have quite a few in hand. If one could exchange them for one, it would be of great help.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately found Song Qing's room...

"Meteorite?" Song Qing looked somewhat surprised after hearing Ye Chen's purpose.

Clearly, he couldn't understand why Ye Chen, an alchemist, would be interested in this...

After thinking for a moment, Song Qing took out a black stone from his storage ring and said, "Is this what you mean?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, saying, "That's right. How many of these do you have?"

Song Qing scratched his head and admitted frankly, "There's only this one..."

"After all, although this meteorite is strange, its ability is limited. It can only help cultivators purify their battle qi. I only got one to assist in cultivating battle qi. There's no use in having too many, is there?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression darkened slightly, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

Seeing this, Song Qing asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, the champion of the Alchemist Conference was awarded ten pills at once, wasn't he? These can't be used for alchemy, so isn't that enough for you?"

Meteorites, which come from outer space, are quite common in the Dou Qi Continent, but most of them are just ordinary metals and are not very valuable.

Even some special ones, which have strong aura conductivity, are only suitable as materials for forging weapons.

Although Song Qing had heard of some that could be ground into powder for medicinal purposes, those were extremely rare and practically unheard of.

Meteorites, which can aid in the cultivation of battle qi, are already considered extremely precious and rare. Many people, upon obtaining them, would immediately cut them into small pieces, either to sell them directly or to leave them for their descendants to use in cultivation...

There are practically no truly large-scale reserves. Therefore, Ye Chen's idea of ​​quickly obtaining a large number of meteorites is destined to fail.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Dan City

Dan City is a terrifying megacity that is more than twice the size of Ye City!

As the most mysterious and oldest of the five major families in the Dan Domain, the Dan family possesses a terrifying power that is incomparable to that of the Ye, Bai, Qiu, and other families.

Although the Cao family has developed rapidly in recent years, with a constant stream of geniuses, and the Cao family patriarch is still a terrifying existence ranked third among the eight elders of the Pill Tower, in the eyes of many people, the Cao family is still slightly inferior to the Pill family in terms of foundation.

Unlike ordinary cities, Dan City's spatial nodes are not built on the outside, but rather within the city itself...

This is why Dan City is large enough to build such a nearly kilometer-long plaza within the city to house the spatial teleportation channel.

This is a crimson square, almost completely packed with people, with an overwhelming cacophony of noise emanating from it, eventually converging and soaring into the sky.

Clearly, given Dan City's status and prosperity, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the second largest city in the entire Dan Domain after Sheng Dan City, so the flow of people here is incredibly high.

In this noisy environment, suddenly, as if a special switch had been turned on, the temperature instantly dropped to the lowest level!

Everyone looked up...

A snow-white chariot, carried by several gleaming silver winged horses, appeared in the sky above...

The sudden appearance of the snow-white carriage immediately attracted the attention of countless eyes, and then a series of exclamations rang out.

"It's actually Void Pegasus? Who on earth is this person? Why is he making such a big scene?"

"Isn't that obvious? Don't you know where we are? See the Dan-shaped clan emblem on that carriage? That's the Dan family's special symbol. If I'm not mistaken, the person riding in that carriage must be a powerful member or a high-ranking member of the Dan family..."

"Void Pegasus Beast?"

Not everyone knows about this special magical beast...

Although it is only at the sixth level, this Void Pegasus Beast is extremely rare!

They possess the ability to fly in the void, and their speed is not only more comfortable but also much faster than that of spaceships. Many people desire to own a Void Pegasus, but due to its rarity, it remains a highly sought-after but unavailable commodity at auctions.

However, today, the Dan family's snow-white carriage was actually carried by several Void Heavenly Horses. Such a feat is truly remarkable.

However, to everyone's surprise, the luxurious Void Pegasus Chariot did not enter the spatial passage as they had expected. Instead, it stopped in the sky not far from the entrance...

At the same time, a young man dressed in blue clothing with the Dan family crest stepped out of the car and stood on the wide frame in front of the carriage, seemingly waiting to greet someone.

This surprised many people even more. Who could have such a great reputation that the Dan family would put on such a grand welcome?

Could it be a high-ranking member from the Danta Tower?

But then again, that doesn't make sense...

If it were a high-ranking member of the Dan Tower, then the Dan family would not be sending just a young man to greet them.

No matter how high the former's status is in the Dan family, it is impossible for him to be compared with the older generation of powerhouses like the higher-ups of the Dan Tower. Therefore, doing so would be extremely impolite, and given the Dan family's style of doing things, they would never do such a thing.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a huge silver spaceship flew out from the entrance of the space wormhole, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound.

……

……

In the pitch-black spatial passage, Ye Chen and the others stood on the deck, watching as spaceships traveling in the same direction as them were overtaken from time to time.

With the mysterious old woman from Yin Valley controlling it, the spaceship beneath Ye Chen and his companions moved at a speed far exceeding that of the others.

"We're almost at the exit..." Song Lian whispered, looking at a silvery-white circle of light ahead.

As his words fell, he felt the giant ship beneath his feet, braving the incredibly violent spatial fluctuations, instantly pierce into the light circle...

As it entered the silver light circle, the intense spatial fluctuations caused the entire spaceship to shake violently.

However, this turbulence lasted for less than ten seconds before gradually dissipating. The silver light that had filled Ye Chen and the others' vision also grew weaker and weaker. After a while, the silver light suddenly erupted, the blinding glare causing everyone to instinctively squint…

In an instant, the world transformed.

This sudden change caught Ye Chen off guard, making him feel dizzy and lightheaded for a moment...

But it's okay. It's just a symptom that everyone experiences when taking a space tunnel for the first time, just like when you take an airplane for the first time in your previous life. You'll get used to it.

After the spaceship exits the space passage, it will return to its original state, so Ye Chen and the others disembarked and arrived at the giant stone plaza.

Song Qing stood in the vast square, first stretching, then glancing around before realizing something was amiss...

"Huh? What's wrong with these people? Why are they all staring at us?"

Suddenly becoming the center of attention didn't make the somewhat carefree Song Qing flustered or panicked; instead, he looked completely puzzled.

Seeing his expression, Ye Chen smiled slightly and pointed upwards...

"Wow! What a cool magical beast! Using it to pull a carriage is such a waste..." Song Qing first complained as he watched the Void Pegasus Beast Che Luan descending downwards, and then realized something was wrong.

"They're... looking for us?"

Judging from their target, it seems to be them.

"You're overthinking it..." Ye Chen glanced at him directly and said. "Their target isn't you..."

Of all these people, who is worth the Dan family going to such lengths for?

It's obvious that their target can only be Yin Wu, the disciple of the Valley Master of Yin Valley!

Sure enough, the young man on the carriage arrived in front of Ye Chen and the others. He first bowed to Yin Wu and the other person and said, "Welcome Fairy Yin and Senior to Dan City."

The young man in blue had a very gentle smile and exuded a refined and elegant air, making it difficult for anyone to feel any dislike towards him at first glance.

Although Yin Wu's appearance seemed somewhat expressionless to Ye Chen, his expression softened slightly when facing the other party. He nodded slightly in response and said in a flat voice, "Thank you, Young Master Danxuan. I am here on my teacher's orders to pay my respects to Patriarch Dan."

The man in blue, Dan Xuan, clearly knew something about the matter. He simply nodded and smiled, "Alright, then please get in the carriage, my father is waiting for you at the clan's residence..."

Chapter 59 The Strange Otona

Looking at the gentle and refined man in front of him, Ye Chen recalled some information about Danxuan from the original novel.

Dan Xuan is, on the surface, the number one young person in the Dan family, and also the only candidate to succeed the next head of the Dan family.

He made his first appearance when Xiao Yan accompanied Ye Zhong to participate in the Pill Tower's assessment of the five major families.

At that time, Danxuan's level was not particularly outstanding; he was only a mid-level seventh-grade alchemist, and his soul value was "only" around 900, comparable to Bai Ying of the Bai family, Cao Dan and Cao Xiu of the Cao family.

The gap between them and someone like Cao Ying, the enchantress of the Cao family, is not even a tiny bit.

However, his personality is consistent with the Dan family's usual style of doing things. He is very low-key, gentle, and mature and steady in handling matters, so he is considered by outsiders to be the only candidate for the head of the Dan family.

Just as Ye Chen was recalling relevant information about the other party in his mind, Dan Xuan, who had finished exchanging pleasantries with Yin Wu, also looked at Ye Chen, Song Lian, and the others beside him.

Although curious as to why Yin Wu was traveling with a group of alchemists, Dan Xuan still greeted them with a smile, "Are you all friends of Fairy Yin? Then please come and visit the Dan family. It will allow me to fulfill my duty as a host."

Upon hearing this, Song Lian, Ye Chen, and the others' first reaction was to refuse...

After all, they had no connection with the Dan family, and their connection with Yin Wu was merely a coincidence. Going to the Dan family would only cause embarrassment, so it was better to hurry up and go to Shengdan City.

However, just as Ye Chen and the others were about to speak, Yin Wu, who had been mostly silent, suddenly looked at Ye Chen and said, "Young Master Danxuan, this Young Master Ye is a member of the Ye family. I have heard that the Ye family and the Dan family are both among the five great families of the Dan Domain. Young Master Danxuan should indeed do his best to be a good host."

These somewhat abrupt words startled both of them.

However, Dan Xuan reacted quickly. Upon hearing that the handsome young man in front of him was actually a member of the Ye family, a smile immediately returned to his face, and he clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "I apologize for my rudeness. Dan Xuan of the Dan family greets Young Master Ye."
