’I suppose no one knows the exact location of that mountain range! As for those materials needed by Su Moran, most of them cannot be possessed by these ordinary Earth Immortals!’
’It seems I have to personally search for them!’
After sending off another Earth Immortal, Ye Qingchen shook his head and sighed softly.
During the days that followed, Ye Qingchen stayed with the Luo Family. Upon hearing the news, Earth Immortals from the Southern Heaven North Sea rushed in, bringing their treasures to exchange for pills with Ye Qingchen.
In just two or three days, Ye Qingchen had already collected the materials needed for cultivation.
A technique of pointing, Heaven-Breaking Profound Extremity Pointing!
A swordsmanship, Ten Thousand Treasures Sword Scripture!
However.
Both of these cultivation techniques are of the highest rank among the Immortal class, even considered top-level techniques in the Taotian Palace. Although the materials were complete, the level of difficulty in comprehension was extremely high. Even with Ye Qingchen’s aptitude and understanding, after three days, he had only scratched the surface, let alone reached the entry level.
Of course.
Ye Qingchen was not in a hurry either. Cultivation techniques require a spark of enlightenment; thirty years of meditation often pales in comparison to a moment of sudden insight.
With a simple command, Ye Qingchen leisurely strolled through Ice City.
Back when he fought Luo Yunfei, even though the entire Ice City was torn apart, it has since been restored. Passersby hurriedly move about, giving no sign of the city’s previous shattered state.
"How long has it been since I was this leisurely?"
Ye Qingchen’s gaze blurred momentarily.
He only remembered.
The last time he was this relaxed was seemingly on the Barbaric Continent, back when Ye Qing had not yet gone to the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, and he had just reached the Profound Pill stage. Now, in a blink, he has already affirmed the Earth Immortal realm.
"Ye Qing, Chen Jiuyang, Qin Wentian, Qian Qiuxue..."
One by one, figures flashed before Ye Qingchen’s eyes.
Especially Ye Qing.
She is the pain of his life!
During the battle at Abyssal Valley, he fought fiercely against a hundred Celestial Saints, confronted Mo Luo Celestial Saint, and was eventually brought to the brink of death. Ye Qing saved him at the cost of joining the Ice and Snow Divine Palace. Ever since that battle, he has yearned desperately for power.
"Once I find Qing’Er, I’ll go back to the Barbaric Continent to take a look!"
Ye Qingchen sighed deeply.
Originally.
He intended to settle down in the Kunlun Realm and then make a visit, but now he is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of Marquis Guangjun and Ye Xu Kong among others. Bringing them to the Kunlun Realm would actually place them in danger.
Therefore, this matter had to be postponed again and again.
Just as Ye Qingchen was musing quietly, a voice of surprise suddenly came from the side:
"Mr. Ye!"
This voice, in the entire Extreme North, is unique to one family.
Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow, turned his head, and indeed saw Tang Mei’Er standing to the side, full of excitement, looking at him with delight. Seeing the surprise in his gaze, Tang Mei’Er exclaimed excitedly:
"Is it really you? I heard from my father that you’ve come to the Extreme North again, and I was a bit skeptical, so I came to Ice City with my senior brothers to have a look!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes remained fixed on Ye Qingchen, filled with curiosity.
Tang Mei’Er felt both surprised and delighted.
Back when this young man first came to the Extreme North, he was still unknown. Even she, as a Human Immortal, somewhat looked down on him. Ultimately, he shook the world by destroying Ice City and slaying Luo Yunfei.
But within just a month, he had already become a major force in the Extreme North, and thousands of immortals paid homage to him!
Ye Qingchen raised his head, finally noticing seven or eight young people standing at a distance behind Tang Mei’Er. He politely nodded, but those young individuals did not respond, instead eyeing Ye Qingchen with scrutiny.
...
"Is this the Mr. Ye who has been all the rage in the Extreme North lately?"
A woman of the elder age among them, dressed in a tight outfit with her long hair tied in a ponytail, curiously sized up Ye Qingchen.
"We were in the middle of a mission, but when Senior Sister Tang Mei’Er heard of Ye Qingchen, she rushed straight to Ice City, seeming to have her heart entirely focused on him!"
"I must say, Senior Sister Tang Mei’Er is pursued by many in the sect, and I’ve never heard of anyone she fancied. But she really seems different with Ye Qingchen!"
"Indeed, if Ye Qingchen was willing, Tang Mei’Er, this flower, would probably be plucked by him!"
A couple of female disciples gathered together, discussing in hushed tones.
They were originally on a quest nearby, but upon Tang Mei’Er hearing about Ye Qingchen’s arrival in the Extreme North, she decided to head to Ice City, piquing their intense curiosity.
"Hmph, who cares about this Mr. Ye; he doesn’t seem like much! Looks decent, but his presence lacks any true cultivation sense, utterly falling short compared to those other Earth Immortals we’ve met. I don’t believe he could have slayed the Luo Family Ancestor or eleven Zhan Family Earth Immortals!"
A young man with starry eyes and sword-like brows said coldly.
Seeing this, everyone remained silent.
This young man is Xu Fanshan, son of the Great Elder of the Ice Mechanism Sect, and a devoted admirer of Tang Mei’Er. However, Tang Mei’Er showed little interest in him, only demonstrating warmth towards Ye Qingchen—how could he not feel deeply agitated?
"True, in my view, these are merely rumors from the outside world!" Another young man nodded, "The Zhan Family is such a prominent force; how could they let eleven Earth Immortals be slain without reacting?"
"Yes, surely it’s just exaggerated gossip; his demeanor doesn’t even compare to the elders in our Ice Mechanism Sect!" Someone else shook their head repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, many people nodded silently.
From what they’ve seen.
Every Earth Immortal, without exception, radiates an aura transcending the common, merely standing there creating an indescribable pressure. How could Ye Qingchen’s presence, unassuming as it is, bear any dignified aura of an Earth Immortal?
"Let me test him!"
Xu Fanshan coldly eyed Ye Qingchen before striding forward decisively.
...
Ye Qingchen didn’t care about the lack of response from this group of youngsters. With his status and standing in the Extreme North, he had already achieved a fearsome reputation; these people seemed young in his eyes, and he wouldn’t bother to engage with them.
"I gave your father a few pills. If he diligently cultivates, he might one day step into the Earth Immortal realm!"
Ye Qingchen said with a smile.
"Really?"
Tang Mei’Er was overjoyed.
She had heard plenty of rumors about Ye Qingchen along the way, and the efficacy of the pills he produced was touted as miraculous. If her father could truly enter the Earth Immortal Realm, the status of the Tang Family in the Extreme North would undoubtedly reach a new height, standing shoulder to shoulder with other major Earth Immortal races.
Tang Mei’Er was about to speak, but at that moment, a voice suddenly broke in:
"Ye Qingchen, everyone praises you as a dual expert in alchemy and martial arts. But I’m somewhat skeptical; would you dare spar with me?"
Ye Qingchen frowned and looked over, seeing a young man in splendid attire confidently stepping into the center.
Those behind him bore expressions full of amusement.
