Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Yu Family
"Brother Ji, do you mean to say..."
Yu Yuanshan was slightly taken aback, then looked over, "Is this Myriad Calamities Pill actually refined by you?"
"Naturally." Ji Chen nodded.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanshan was surprised, "Brother Ji is also an Alchemist?"
Nine Spirit Veins, coupled with possessing the Hongmeng Body, with all these auras gracing him, Ji Chen already shone brightly.
How could Yu Yuanshan have imagined that besides all this, Ji Chen also knew Alchemy!
Moreover, according to what he said, only a Saint could withstand the potency of the Myriad Calamities Pill, which was evident that the pill wasn’t of a low grade.
The person capable of refining such a pill clearly must have profound accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao.
Recovering from his surprise, Yu Yuanshan quickly responded seriously, "I implore Brother Ji to help in refining. If this pill is truly effective, the Yu Family will certainly offer a generous reward!"
"No need for a generous reward, just give me more of the Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi," Ji Chen said with a faint smile.
Yu Yuanshan nodded, knowing that the Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi is used for body refinement and is extremely rare in the current Celestial Martial. Ji Chen, possessing the Hongmeng Body, one of the nine Desolate Ancient physiques...
That’s why the other party wanted to find a way to collect more of the Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi.
"How much does Brother Ji want?" Yu Yuanshan asked.
Ji Chen raised his hand, rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, then said, "How about two thousand pounds altogether?"
"Two thousand pounds..."
Yu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment. Clearly, this amount was not trivial even for the Yu Family.
"If the Myriad Calamities Pill truly works, then two thousand pounds of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi is not too much!" he finally said.
The Yu Family, being a Di Race from the Outer Realm, possessed the Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi though not reaching two thousand pounds. However, with their status, borrowing some from major powers to gather it for Ji Chen wasn’t a difficult task.
Moreover, the Yu Family’s patriarch was severely injured, and since he was a Saint, any mishap would be a significant blow to the Yu Family, even affecting their overall strength.
In comparison, a mere two thousand pounds of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi was nothing.
"To be cautious, it’s best if I go with you to the Yu Family," Ji Chen suggested.
Without knowing the severity of the Yu Family patriarch’s injury, he couldn’t easily refine the Myriad Calamities Pill.
If the patriarch was too weak, excessive Divine Spring Water could have adverse effects rather than healing.
Conversely, if too little Divine Spring Water was added, it might not fully heal the injury, making the effort futile.
Thus, the best course of action was for Ji Chen to personally visit, inspect the patriarch, and then proceed with the Alchemy.
"That’s for the best!" Yu Yuanshan exclaimed with joy. If Ji Chen could accompany him to their family, it would be ideal.
"When can Brother Ji set out?" he asked again.
"There’s no time to waste," Ji Chen replied.
On that very day, after discussing the matter with Qu Luoning and his parents, Ji Chen left Lingyun Sect with Yu Yuanshan.
The two headed north, towards the direction of the Profound Domain Holy City.
Recently, the Ancient Starry Path frequently appeared in the skies over Celestial Martial Land, not just the initial East Desolate Divine City but also over the Profound Domain Holy City.
Ji Chen and Yu Yuanshan, via the Holy City’s Ancient Starry Path, could directly reach the Yu Family on Celestial Swift Star.
Moreover, this was Ji Chen’s first departure from Celestial Martial to the Outer World.
Soon, the two arrived in the Holy City, standing under the Ancient Starry Path. After Yu Yuanshan adjusted the direction, he took Ji Chen, entering the path together.
Within the boundary passage, Ji Chen could feel himself traveling at an astonishing speed.
Outside the passage was a pitch-black starry sky, occasionally dots of starlight rapidly flew past, left behind like shooting stars.
This indicated that Ji Chen and Yu Yuanshan were advancing rapidly, not that the stars were retreating.
Despite the great distance between the two realms, requiring a traverse of the vast starry sky, the existence of the ancient path meant Ji Chen and Yu Yuanshan, departing from Celestial Martial, needed only a few days to reach Celestial Swift.
This speed was indeed astonishing.
During this period, Ji Chen could do nothing but wait quietly inside the ancient path passage.
Finally, on the fourth day, the ancient path unveiled its end, and both he and Yu Yuanshan descended upon an ancient city.
Celestial Swift, Cyan Domain.
Unlike Celestial Martial, Celestial Swift Star was more vast, and it was divided into major domains.
The Yu Family resided in the ’Cyan Domain’ of Celestial Swift Star, being the strongest family within this domain.
Su City.
The two landed here, as this city housed the Yu Family.
Su City, being a premier, illustrious city within the Cyan Domain, impressed and astonished with its prosperity and various aspects.
It covered a vast area, nearly twice the size of East Desolate Divine City.
The city was home to numerous cultivator families and several sect powers had established their enterprises and shops here, attracting countless cultivators.
Yet among the many families and sects, the Yu Family truly stood out.
Not just in Su City, but throughout the Cyan Domain, no force dared to challenge the Yu Family.
This was an Ancient Emperor family, with an unfathomable heritage.
It was rumored that the Yu Family currently had at least three Saints.
Three Saints in one era, unrivaled not just in the Cyan Domain, but throughout Celestial Swift, and even the entire Daoxuan Star Realm.
With Yu Yuanshan leading, they soon arrived at the southern part of the city.
Before a mansion gate, a young attendant, responsible for guarding the place, immediately recognized Yu Yuanshan and greeted him, "Third Young Master, you have returned."
"How is great-grandfather?" Yu Yuanshan asked.
The attendant candidly replied, "No improvement, it’s even worsened. Currently, he is in a coma; I’m afraid..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanshan frowned, leading Ji Chen into the Yu Family.
"Yuanshan has returned."
Soon, the two arrived at a hall for clan discussions, where they found many Yu Family elders gathered.
Among them, a middle-aged man sat at the seat of honor.
This man was none other than Yu Yuanshan’s father, the current head of the Yu Family, Yu Zhijing!
Besides Yu Yuanshan, many Yu Family members who had recently gone out to seek medicine had returned, or invited some Saint Doctors, or brought back some rare medicines. All were gathered here, discussing how to heal the Yu Family patriarch.
Ji Chen and Yu Yuanshan happened to return at this time.
