In the cramped store, the elder's small frame trembled violently, his expression overflowing with excitement, his gaze filled with utmost respect as he stared at Ye Chen.

It was as though he was not looking at a Cultivator of the Celestial Spirit Realm but rather at a high and mighty Divine Spirit.

It must be noted that the Netherworld Demon Poison he was afflicted with was something scarcely anyone in this world could resolve.

Throughout these years, he had sought out countless Alchemy Grandmasters, yet not a single one could expel the Netherworld Demon Poison within him.

They couldn't even relieve the poison's effects on his body.

If this continued, his Cultivation would keep declining until he faced complete annihilation both physically and spiritually.

But now, as he circulated the mana within his body as per Ye Chen's method, he actually succeeded in expelling a trace of the Netherworld Demon Poison from his meridians, and he felt much more comfortable.

This was something that had never happened before.

Perhaps, the young man before him truly had a way to completely rid his body of the Netherworld Demon Poison.

"Grandmaster, if you can cure me, I am willing to offer you any Cultivation Resources you need. Please accept this piece of Black Dragon Wood." The elder hurriedly picked up the dragon-shaped carving from the table, respectfully presenting it to Ye Chen, fearing that he might refuse it.

"Elder, you are too kind. In that case, I'll accept it." Ye Chen couldn't help but smile with delight as he promptly stored the piece of Black Dragon Wood into his Storage Bracelet.

With this piece of Black Dragon Wood, he should be able to comprehend a powerful True Intent.

At that time, his strength would undergo a drastic transformation.

Even Xiahou Ting might not be his match.

"Grandmaster, please tell me how to resolve the Netherworld Demon Poison in my body. I have been tormented by this poison for many years. If not for my strong physique, I wouldn't have been able to endure it." The elder spoke anxiously.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he was just a very common mortal, with one foot already in the grave.

However, his true identity was the founder of Overlord Body Peak.

Even the current Peak Master of Overlord Body Peak was his disciple.

For this reason, his physique was extremely powerful, and even the Netherworld Demon Poison, capable of easily killing a Golden Core Realm expert, was something he managed to withstand through sheer will.

Yet, due to the long-term infestation of the Netherworld Demon Poison, his body became weaker with each passing year.

His Cultivation had even fallen from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Golden Core Realm.

If he didn't find a way to expel the Netherworld Demon Poison, in a few more years, he might face complete physical and spiritual annihilation.

Therefore, Ye Chen's appearance seemed like a timely rain to him.

If Ye Chen could cure him, he would be willing to offer not just a piece of Black Dragon Wood but even the entire Overlord Body Peak.

"By following the method I taught you, you can suppress the Netherworld Demon Poison within your body and even expel it gradually. However, to fully cure it, you must take the Qingxuan Pill, and I can refine this elixir." Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

"I have never heard of this elixir before, it must be incredibly precious. As long as you can refine it, I'm willing to exchange any treasures I have." The elder said with an intense, burning gaze.

"Refining the Qingxuan Pill requires many precious materials, several of which are Treasure Medicines. As long as you can gather them, I'll refine it for you." Ye Chen said.

The Qingxuan Pill is an elixir even more precious than a Spirit Pill.

Therefore, the ingredients needed for its refinement are predominantly Treasure Medicines.

And Treasure Medicines are considered invaluable even to Immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm.

Even the most ordinary Lower Grade Treasure Medicine could be traded for a Lower Grade Magical Artifact.

So, with Ye Chen's current financial means, collecting all the materials required for refining the Qingxuan Pill was out of the question.

He had to let this elder collect them himself.

"No problem, I can afford to buy Treasure Medicines." The elder said excitedly.

"Good!" Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

Thereafter, Ye Chen informed the elder of all the materials needed to refine the Qingxuan Pill.

There were as many as forty to fifty types of materials, the most precious among them being the Top Grade Treasure Medicine, Celestial Turtle Grass.

The price of a Top Grade Treasure Medicine was equivalent to a Top Grade Magical Artifact, and even a Profound Pill adept might not be able to afford it.

"Grandmaster, is that all? I'll send someone to collect them immediately." Despite hearing the names of these materials, the elder did not even blink.

It was as if, to him, these materials were nothing.

This made Ye Chen marvel at the elder's considerable wealth!

"Elder, once you have gathered all the materials, come find me at Overlord Body Peak. Oh, by the way, my name is Ye Chen." Ye Chen said with a grin.

"What? Overlord Body Peak, Grandmaster actually resides at Overlord Body Peak?" The elder's body suddenly trembled, his heart overwhelmed with shock.

A presence with such heaven-defying expertise in alchemy, actually residing within the Overlord Body Peak he established.

How can he possibly believe this?

Could it be that this Young Grandmaster is amusing himself with life, thus not wanting others to know his true identity.

Otherwise, with his expertise in elixirs, even the Six Great Sacred Lands would certainly try their utmost to entice him; how could he possibly shrink away in such a small place like Cang Province?

"It must be this way; this Young Grandmaster surely does not wish others to know his true identity, which is why he is so low-profile." The elder thought silently.

"Old man, I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ye Chen left these words before striding towards the shop door.

Buzz!

In the next instant, the mysterious power enveloping the shop vanished without a trace.

"Grandmaster, please go slowly, I will definitely gather all those materials as soon as possible." The elder said with utmost respect, escorting Ye Chen to the door, finally watching Ye Chen's figure gradually disappear into the crowd.

"Master, who exactly is this Grandmaster? Can he truly dispel the Netherworld Demon Poison within you?" At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the elder, speaking with a face full of reverence.

This was an elder in a black robe, his cultivation unfathomable.

Yet, he showed utmost respect to the elder, just like a servant.

"I do not know either, but he is young, and his mastery of alchemy is already so high. His teacher is very likely to be a Pill God." The elder couldn't help but remark, his eyes full of deep apprehension.

"What, a Pill God, does such a being really exist in this world?" The black-robed elder's pupils suddenly shrank, expressing tremendous shock.

"Of course they exist, but they rarely show themselves. Encountering this Grandmaster, I can only say Heaven is showing mercy on me. Before finding a body refining prodigy who can cultivate the Nine Dragon Dominating Body, I cannot afford to die." The elder spoke resolutely, his eyes emitting a bright, piercing light.

The reason he established the Overlord Body Peak was to find a body refining prodigy who could cultivate the Nine Dragon Dominating Body.

Unfortunately, so many years have passed, yet he still hasn't found one.

After all, the Nine Dragon Dominating Body is extremely difficult to cultivate, those meeting the criteria are as rare as phoenix feathers.

Even the elder doesn't know how long he will have to wait?

"Master, that Grandmaster's cultivation is truly too weak. I don't know if he is intentionally concealing it, or if it really is so. If he encounters any mishap, wouldn't there be no one able to dispel your Netherworld Demon Poison?" The black-robed elder said with a frown.

"From now on, you shall protect him in secret. But, absolutely do not disturb him, nor try to uncover his secrets, understand?" The elder spoke gravely.

"I understand." The black-robed elder spoke with a visage full of reverence.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, his body disappeared from its place.

"Perhaps it's time for me to return to the Overlord Body Peak and inform my disciple Zichen of this matter, so as not to accidentally offend this Grandmaster." The elder murmured.

...

Azure Sky Immortal Sect, located south of Azure Sky City.

Towering peaks rise everywhere, Spiritual Qi shrouding the area to the extreme, seemingly akin to an immortal realm.

Today marks the annual Outer Sect disciple examination of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Therefore, early in the morning, a large number of young talents gathered outside the sect's mountain gate, numbering in the tens of thousands at a glance.

These young talents predominantly come from various family forces in Cang Province, with a smaller portion rushing over from mortal dynasties on Cang Province's boundaries.

"Senior sister, is this the Azure Sky Immortal Sect? The Spiritual Qi here is far more intense than in our Celestial Pearl Academy; it's an ideal place for cultivation." In the crowd, a young cultivator couldn't help but express amazement.

"That's for sure. Hopefully, this time, we'll all pass the Outer Sect disciple examination smoothly and become outer disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect." A tall female cultivator, filled with anticipation, replied.

This female cultivator is surprisingly the top talent of Celestial Pearl Academy, Lin Man.

She has also come to participate in the Azure Sky Immortal Sect's Outer Sect disciple examination.

"Huh? Senior sister, am I seeing things? I seem to have spotted Ye Chen." At that moment, the young cultivator called out in surprise, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.

"Ye Chen, it's really him. He actually dares to come for the Azure Sky Immortal Sect's Outer Sect disciple examination. Doesn't he know that he's already wanted by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect? By doing this, he's completely courting death!" Lin Man's delicate body trembled abruptly, locking eyes upon a white-clad young man ahead, filled with disbelief.

This white-clad young man is none other than Ye Chen.

Since Ye Chen killed Lu Tong, he has been wanted by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

After all, Lu Tong was sent by the high-ranking members of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect to take over the War King Hall.

Yet, Ye Chen killed Lu Tong, which was simply too audacious.

If Ye Chen isn't punished, where does the dignity of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect stand?
