Chapter 88: The Power of the Alchemy System, The Ye Family Joins the Pill Hall!
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhiyun let out a deep sigh in her heart. Her daughter, after seeing Yun Yuan again, would likely never forget him for the rest of her life.
However, Yun Yuan's arrival also brought happiness to Ye Zhiyun, given their mentor-student relationship.
"Xiao Yuan, you're here. Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time."
"In the past one or two years, Auntie has heard many rumors about you. Truly impressive."
Ye Zhiyun stood up and slowly walked to Yun Yuan's side. Looking at the young man who had already grown to her shoulder height, then examining his face, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'Xiao Yuan has grown so fast. In another two years, you'll probably be taller than me.'
'And you're becoming more and more handsome. With looks like this, it's no wonder girls like you so much.'
After silently marveling for a moment, Ye Zhiyun, just like Ye Qingxian, gave Yun Yuan a big hug.
"Aunt Yun, long time no see."
After the hug, Yun Yuan greeted Ye Zhiyun, his face wearing a bright smile from start to finish.
"Mom, let me tell you…"
Upon seeing her mother, Ye Qingxian immediately began explaining everything about the Pill Hall. This concerned her future, so she couldn't afford to be careless.
Listening to Ye Qingxian's explanation, Ye Zhiyun frowned slightly and lowered her gaze, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
After joining the Pill Hall under Spirit Hall, the Ye family would inevitably lose some freedom and would no longer be as unrestrained as before.
But the benefits were also numerous. For example, they would gain a powerful backing, access to more resources, and the opportunity to learn Yun Yuan's alchemy system.
After thinking it through, Ye Zhiyun already had an answer in mind, but she still wanted to confirm one thing. Besides being Yun Yuan's mentor, she was also the head of the Ye family.
As the head of the Ye family, she had to consider her clan members and lead them toward a better future.
"Xiao Yuan, could you let me understand your alchemy system in more detail?"
"If this alchemy system is truly as powerful as you say and can be widely applied, then our Ye family is willing to join the Pill Hall and serve under your command."
The strength and scalability of the alchemy system were what concerned her the most. If both were truly as Yun Yuan described, then the Ye family would join the Pill Hall no matter what.
Yun Yuan naturally understood Ye Zhiyun's doubts. If she had simply believed Ye Qingxian's words without verification, she would be unfit as a family head.
"Aunt Yun, let's go to the alchemy room and talk properly. I'll also demonstrate it for you."
Yun Yuan intended to personally showcase the strength of his alchemy system. At that point, he believed Ye Zhiyun would not hesitate in the slightest and might even beg him to let the Ye family join the Pill Hall.
"Alright, Xiao Yuan, let's go."
Ye Zhiyun nodded and led Yun Yuan back to the alchemy room.
Returning to the familiar alchemy room, Yun Yuan began by explaining in detail the alchemy system he had created.
"Alchemists are divided into ranks one to nine. Above the ninth rank is the immortal grade. Immortal-grade alchemists can use immortal herbs to refine pills that can transform the soul master's body and greatly increase their strength."
"Among the pills I have created are the Soul Ascension Pill, the Healing Pill…"
Listening to Yun Yuan's explanation, Ye Zhiyun's gaze toward him became increasingly strange, as if she were looking at a monster.
The student she had taught for only half a year had now become a grandmaster of alchemy. Such a growth rate was truly astonishing.
Beside them, Ye Qingxian's admiration for Yun Yuan grew even stronger. As expected of the man she favored, he was truly remarkable.
With such talent and ability, what woman wouldn't fall for him?
Half an hour later, Yun Yuan finally stopped. Then he personally began demonstrating the scalability of his alchemy system.
He gathered the required herbs in the alchemy room, walked to the furnace, and explained each step of the process as he performed the actions.
More than ten minutes later, a rich medicinal fragrance drifted out from the furnace. Yun Yuan took out a pill and handed it to Ye Qingxian.
"Sister Qingxian, this is a third-rank Soul Ascension Pill I refined for you. It can raise your soul power level by one rank while you're in the Soul Elder stage."
"But I suggest you don't take it now. Wait until your soul power reaches rank thirty-nine before taking it. The effect will be better."
Holding the pill, Ye Qingxian nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, indicating she understood.
"Mom, Xiao Yuan has already explained the alchemy system to us. Our Ye family should quickly join his Pill Hall."
She grabbed her mother's arm and shook it continuously, urging her.
She still hoped to develop further with Yun Yuan in the future. The Ye family had to join the Pill Hall; otherwise, her plans would fall apart before they even began.
Seeing her daughter acting spoiled while shaking her arm, Ye Zhiyun shook her head helplessly.
"Alright, alright, Qingxian, stop shaking. Mom understands."
Then she looked at Yun Yuan, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"Xiao Yuan, our Ye family is willing to join your Pill Hall. Later, I will persuade the elders of the clan. Don't worry; this matter will succeed."
"From today onward, you are the leader of our Ye family. Please take care of us."
As her words fell, Ye Zhiyun extended her hand. Yun Yuan likewise extended his hand and clasped her soft, delicate one.
From this day on, they were not only teacher and student but also bound by shared interests.
"By the way, Aunt Yun, your Ye family is a medicinal clan, and you are also skilled in alchemy. Do you know any others in the same field?"
"If you do, you can try to bring them over. Our Pill Hall has just been established and is very short on manpower."
After bringing the Ye family into his camp, Yun Yuan was clearly not satisfied and wanted more. He had a dream—to provide shelter for all alchemists under the sky.
As long as you know alchemy, joining the Pill Hall would be the right choice. Not only would there be cultivation resources, but also alchemy knowledge to learn. In Yun Yuan's view, his Pill Hall was simply a paradise for alchemists.
Hearing Yun Yuan's question, Ye Zhiyun rolled her eyes slightly and began to think. After a moment, her crisp and pleasant voice slowly sounded.
"Xiao Yuan, I do know some people, but they're mostly from small forces or independent soul masters. I'm confident I can persuade them to join your Pill Hall."
At this point, her tone shifted, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"Xiao Yuan, have you heard of the Breaking Clan? Their family is also a rare medicinal clan on the Douluo Continent. If you're really short on manpower, you could try digging into the Clear Sky Sect's corner."
