284: Chapter 284 Mu En's Mental Collapse, The Division of the Alchemy System

Seeing that Hall Master Jing Hongchen finally understood how to behave, Ye Hongchen nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm, not too stupid yet."

"Right, remember to prepare a generous gift for Matriarch Ye Qingxian to celebrate the establishment of the Alchemy Hall."

"Old Ancestor, I'm quite the old fox myself; you don't need to remind me of that." Hall Master Jing Hongchen gave Ye Hongchen a reassuring look.

He was, after all, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall in the Sun Moon Empire, a formidable enemy in the eyes of countless factions. In terms of knowledge and methods, there were few in the entire continent who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

Soon, Hall Master Jing Hongchen set off towards Nine Treasures City, bringing with him dozens of high-level spirit tools, along with his grandson, Xiao Hongchen, and granddaughter, Meng Hongchen.

He wanted to let Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen make an impression in front of Ye Qingxian.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Nine Treasures City, representatives from many factions were constantly pouring in, including Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, and the Sun Moon Empire.

Deep within the palace of Nine Treasures City.

"Sister Xian'er, we've come to support you!" Upon seeing Ye Qingxian, Qian Renxue happily rushed forward.

Seeing Qian Renxue, a brilliant smile also appeared on Ye Qingxian's face.

"It's Xue'er. Having a younger sister like you is truly my good fortune."

After praising Qian Renxue, Ye Qingxian also noticed that Bibi Dong had arrived.

"Bibi Dong, you've come too. Then I'll be able to order you around without worry later."

Ye Qingxian covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing Bibi Dong.

"Hmph, you're ordering me around this time, but after we go back, this Supreme Pontiff will order you back."

Bibi Dong bickered with Ye Qingxian as a matter of routine; she would never let herself suffer a verbal disadvantage.

This was a unique way of communicating between the two of them. They were used to their "loving yet combative" dynamic; they never let each other off the hook with their words, yet they always supported each other in their actions.

A few hours later, in front of the Alchemy Hall in Nine Treasures City.

Representatives of various factions arrived one after another: Hall Master Jing Hongchen of the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall, Pavilion Master Mu En of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, and Sect Master Du Busi of the Body Sect.

These were the representatives of the three strongest factions.

Among them, Hall Master Jing Hongchen and Sect Master Du Busi were quite recognizable.

But the representative from Shrek was someone they had never seen before.

Although they were unaware of Mu En's identity, they certainly recognized Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe was actually so reserved and respectful in front of this hunched old man.

"Mu En, I didn't expect that my elder brother had left you with such a severe injury back then."

"I originally wanted to find you myself to take revenge, but looking at your physical condition, you won't live for more than a few months. It wouldn't have any meaning to seek revenge on you now."

Sect Master Du Busi looked at Mu En, sighing with emotion.

Back then, his elder brother Du Bisi had engaged in a life-or-death battle with Mu En. His elder brother had lost.

Mu En had disappeared as a result, but he knew that Mu En was definitely still alive.

He had originally planned to Cultivate hard and, once his strength was sufficient, storm Shrek Academy to avenge his elder brother, Du Bisi.

But Mu En's impending death had caused Sect Master Du Busi to lose interest. He disdained bullying someone who didn't even have a few months left to live.

"Sect Master Du Busi, your elder brother was indeed very strong. If it weren't for him, I perhaps wouldn't be who I am today."

If one were to ask about the opponent who left the deepest impression on Mu En throughout his life, it was, without a doubt, the previous Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Bisi.

In that battle, although he achieved a Breakthrough to become a Limit Douluo, he also sustained injuries that could never be healed for the rest of his life.

The time for the Alchemy Hall to officially announce its establishment was almost here.

Inside the Alchemy Hall in Nine Treasures City, two waves of terrifyingly extreme Soul Power pressure suddenly burst forth.

"What terrifying Soul Power pressure! Is this the power of a Limit Douluo?"

"But why are there two distinct waves of Soul Power pressure? Could it be that besides that healing-type Limit Douluo, there is another Limit Douluo in the Alchemy Hall?"

The crowd was filled with confusion.

Hall Master Jing Hongchen felt these two waves of Soul Power pressure, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

He was aware of just how terrifying the number of powerhouses in the other spacetime was; it was simply not something their current spacetime could compare to.

As for Sect Master Du Busi, his heart grew increasingly heavy. The Alchemy Hall possessing two Limit Douluos—how frightening a prospect that was.

When Mu En felt one of the waves of Soul Power pressure, his brows furrowed slightly. He kept feeling that this Soul Power pressure was familiar.

Recalling the Limit Douluos he had encountered, Mu En was shocked, and he already had a guess in his heart.

"It can't be, how could it be them?"

As the doors of the Alchemy Hall opened, the figures of Bibi Dong and Ye Qingxian appeared before everyone.

Upon learning that Bibi Dong was a member of the Alchemy Hall, Mu En's mentality collapsed.

This woman who had taken away thirty percent of Shrek's resources was actually a member of the Nine Treasures Empire.

Then what he had come to do today was going to be a complete failure.

He had originally intended for Shrek Academy to form an alliance with the Nine Treasures Empire to jointly resist future risks.

But now it seemed that the Nine Treasures Empire was the future risk for Shrek Academy.

Mu En noticed Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong naturally noticed Mu En.

This old thing actually ran over here in person.

As the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong also guessed Mu En's true intentions.

It was likely that because his own days were numbered and Shrek had no one else to hold the fort, he had heard of Ye Qingxian, the healing-type Limit Douluo of the Nine Treasures Empire, and wanted to form an alliance with the Nine Treasures Empire.

After Ye Qingxian appeared, she looked around, then began to speak:

"In the beginning, Spirit Masters were born, and the Dao of the Spirit Master gradually developed."

"As time passed, due to the needs and desires of Spirit Masters, spirit tools were born, and Medicinal Pills were born."

"But in the face of spirit tools, Medicinal Pills have fallen behind by more than just a little. Soul Engineers have a classification from level one to level nine, and there are even legendary level-ten Soul Engineers, whereas Medicinal Pills only consist of some ordinary ones; they are truly lacking."

"Today, I, Ye Qingxian, am here to spread the new Alchemy System across the continent, allowing Spirit Masters in this world to enjoy the miraculous effects of Medicinal Pills on Spirit Masters."

Speaking to this point, Ye Qingxian flipped her palm, and a large black cauldron appeared in mid-air.

She continued:

"The new Alchemy System was created by a magnificent existence; I, Ye Qingxian, am merely the one spreading it."

"In the new Alchemy System, Medicinal Pills are divided from rank one to rank nine, and Alchemists are similarly divided from rank one to rank nine. However, above rank-nine Alchemists, there are also Immortal Grade Alchemists."

"I, Ye Qingxian, am an Immortal Grade Alchemist."

"You may be curious about how the Medicinal Pills of each rank differ from the ones you know. Soon you will understand the miraculous effects of the Dao of Alchemy; it is definitely not inferior to the Dao of spirit tools."

Hearing Ye Qingxian say this, the Spirit Masters below were even more curious.

They had already experienced the power of spirit tools.

The reason the Sun Moon Empire was the current strongest nation, with a great momentum to unify the continent, was entirely because their research into spirit tools was far superior to that of the other Empires.

Every single level-nine spirit tool possessed earth-shattering destructive power.

An ordinary Titled Douluo with a level-nine spirit tool was equivalent to a powerhouse at the level of a Super Douluo.
