"I said it just now, we don't understand his world!" Chu Yanran smiled, a man who could catch her attention, how could he be ordinary?

After destroying all those hidden cameras, Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction; he really hated the feeling of being watched!

At this moment, Ye Chen exuded a sharp aura, his entire being appeared exceedingly transcendent, like a dragon amongst men, and he also displayed a most direct sense of power—strength!

As of today, Ye Chen had finally broken through, leaping into the Mid Grandmaster Stage—a height that stood atop the world!

"Finally stepping into the Mid Grandmaster Stage, this feeling truly intoxicates me!" Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, feeling a soaring spirit within him.

So vast is the world, who but I!

"Although national arts are waning and land gods appear in this world, the trend of the Huaxia Martial Arts Community is declining. My current strength, I'm afraid, has few rivals in all of Huaxia!" Ye Chen understood the current state of the Huaxia Martial Arts Community, knowing that Grandmasters like him had become extremely rare.

Except for those land gods who appear unpredictably, Ye Chen's current strength absolutely stands at the pinnacle of Huaxia, and could even be said to be at the pinnacle of the world!

"However, I must not become arrogant. That Martial Arts giant who challenged me is ten times, a hundred times stronger than me. Even if he is old and his vital energy is waning, I still am no match for him now!" Ye Chen was confident but not arrogant, clearly knowing his place.

"But now, my cultivation has already reached the goal I had set. As long as I concoct a furnace of Strength God Elixir, I can make leaps and bounds with the power of the elixir!" Ye Chen approached the challenge from that giant with caution, trying every possible means to boost his strength.

"Originally, I wasn't confident in concocting Pure Yang Elixirs and Strength God Elixirs, these kinds of Martial Way Holy Elixirs. However, my realm has broken through, and my strength has surged, so concocting a few furnaces of elixirs should be within easy reach!"

Chu Yanran wants to save her son, and Ye Chen promised to help her concoct a furnace of Pure Yang Elixirs. However, the list of herbs Ye Chen listed had thousands of rare medicinal materials, clearly not just for concocting Pure Yang Elixirs.

Although martial arts are his main practice, medical practice supports it, but he has fully inherited the Tianshi Medical Classic left by Ancestor Ye!

The medical techniques in the Tianshi Medical Classic capture the essence of heaven and earth, encompassing everything. It has not only the miraculous bone-setting method of Moving Flowers and Connecting Trees but also the legendary acupuncture technique of Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate. However, what Ye Chen loves most is the alchemy recorded there!

The Tianshi Medical Classic records the methods of concocting many miraculous elixirs, just like the Hundred Treasures Elixir that Ye Chen once produced, which was learned from the Tianshi Medical Classic.

The Hundred Treasures Elixir, belonging to ordinary elixirs yet already rare in this world, not to mention higher-level elixirs like the Strength God Elixir, Pure Yang Elixir, or Marrow Cleansing Elixir.

Ye Chen had some talent in alchemy, having learned most of the alchemical techniques in Tianshi Medical Classic, thus qualifying as an alchemist.

Ye Chen was preparing to concoct a furnace of Pure Yang Elixirs for Xiao Chenchen to weaken the sinister energy in his body.

Pure Yang Elixir, this elixir is ten times more advanced than the Hundred Treasures Elixir; the latter merely heals injuries and restores vital energy as a common elixir, while Pure Yang Elixirs contain the most sacred yang energy and are magical elixirs that can aid in cultivation!

However, the Pure Yang Elixirs are elixirs for those at the Martial Arts Master Realm. If individuals at the Grandmaster level were to use them, the effects would be greatly reduced. Ye Chen intended to concoct Pure Yang Elixirs merely to help Xiao Chenchen survive.

Having stepped into the Mid Grandmaster Stage, such strength could be considered among the strongest in the world. He wished to advance rapidly with the aid of elixirs, only by using the highest-level elixirs!

Strength God Elixir, this is a Martial Way Holy Elixir that can assist Grandmaster level practitioners in their cultivation, and Ye Chen just so happened to know the technique to concoct this elixir.

Ye Chen had always wanted to concoct a furnace of Strength God Elixirs, but the medicinal herbs required for this elixir were extremely rare, and Chu Yanran with her vast capabilities could just acquire what he needed.

Ye Chen was not one to reap without sowing; he always required a fee for treating people, and even more so for concocting elixirs like Pure Yang Elixirs for someone!

The value of a furnace of Pure Yang Elixirs was immeasurable; if converted into money, it might be worth billions. The only problem is, people capable of concocting such elixirs were almost extinct in this world.

Ye Chen's alchemy in the current Huaxia elixir sphere was definitely considered a national treasure. For him to concoct a furnace of Pure Yang Elixirs, merely asking for some herbs, Chu Yanran was getting an incredible bargain.

During the Early Grandmaster Realm, Ye Chen was not sure he could successfully concoct such Martial Way Holy Elixirs, but now that he had stepped into the Mid Grandmaster Stage and his strength had greatly increased, he felt somewhat confident about concocting this elixir—not quite effortlessly, but almost.

Instant enlightenment, immediate ascent to immortality!

After reaching the Mid Grandmaster Stage, Ye Chen relaxed and did not focus on deliberate cultivation.

Since the herbs had not yet been collected, Ye Chen, having nothing better to do, decided to chat with Chu Yanran and stroll around the estate.

He admired the flowers, played with the birds, enjoyed contentment, and adjusted his mindset as he prepared to start the alchemy furnace.

Chu Yanran's estate was located halfway up the mountain, a place in Longcheng where land was worth its weight in gold. The environment was just one aspect; the key was that the feng shui here was excellent!

Although Ye Chen was not versed in the art of feng shui, he could vaguely discern that the terrain of this estate was extraordinary, forming a wonderful layout akin to the imposing stance of a dragon soaring in the skies.

The estate was very spacious, spanning thousands of square meters, with several beautifully constructed small buildings. The greenscaping was well done, the garden was planted with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and small animals frolicked on the ground, making the estate seem like a heavenly realm on earth.

"This life is too wonderful, with this woman, I could have this dream manor and even a son for cheap!"

Ye Chen had interacted quite a bit with Chu Yanran and knew she had feelings for him. Upon realizing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but be moved.

However, Ye Chen eventually opened up about his concerns, not because he was impervious to temptation, but because of Chu Yanran's son, the Heavenly Destitute Star!

Ye Chen had agreed to create the Pure Yang Elixir to weaken Xiao Chenchen's malevolent energy, which had already deeply entangled him with the Heavenly Destitute Star. If he were to enter into that kind of relationship with Chu Yanran as well, he would find it impossible to escape in the future!

That is the nature of cause and effect, today's causes, tomorrow's effects!

Ye Chen's current strength was insufficient, and he didn't want to involve himself with the Heavenly Destitute Star's karma, so he turned a blind eye to Chu Yanran's affection.

One day, Chu Yanran took the initiative to look for him and found Ye Chen playing with a bird.

"The 1,361 types of herbs are all in place, and the quantities far exceed the standards you gave!" Chu Yanran's first words were to inform Ye Chen that the herbs were ready.

"That's great!" Ye Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this, he felt like his bones had rusted over these days!

Seeing the exuberance in Ye Chen's expression, Chu Yanran hesitated to speak.

She wanted to ask Ye Chen if he planned to leave after preparing the elixir, but with apprehensions in her heart, she swallowed the words before they could leave her mouth.

"That special large copper furnace I mentioned, have you had the artisans make it?" Ye Chen asked, as alchemy demands a furnace!

"The alchemy furnace has been placed in the underground room where you reside, coal is also piled in a convenient spot for you to pick up!" Chu Yanran had clearly managed everything well.

"Then, let's start!" Ye Chen said.

"After this is over, will you leave?" Chu Yanran asked, finally voicing her concern. She tried to keep her voice calm, as she wanted Ye Chen to stay.

"My girlfriend is elsewhere, I need to go find her!" Ye Chen said.

During this time, he had also learned of Zhang Xinlan's whereabouts and was just waiting for the elixir to be ready before he rushed to her side.

For some reason, although Ye Chen had only interacted with Zhang Xinlan for a brief two days, he felt as if he was bewitched by this woman, with an inexplicable urge to be near her.

"Well, I wish you well!" Chu Yanran forced a smile.

...

Ye Chen had been confined in this basement for over a month, and he continued to live there after his escape.

The room had been quite empty originally, but now it was piled with small mounds of herbs, a countless amount of them!

Ye Chen stood in front of a two-meter-high copper furnace, filling its base with firewood and coal, as alchemy required fire. Lacking Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad's Samadhi True Fire, he could only use wood and coal.

This copper furnace was specially made by Chu Yanran based on a blueprint provided by Ye Chen, these furnaces being quite rare in contemporary society, with very few people knowing how to use them.

The furnace, which had three legs and sat squat on the ground, gave a sense of solidity. The furnace walls featured nine dragon heads, ferocious and domineering, with bared fangs and claws.

These nine dragon heads led into the interior of the furnace and served as channels for inserting herbs, but using this furnace for alchemy clearly required a special technique.

The fire blazed within the furnace, and Ye Chen grabbed a handful of herbs, crushed them into a powder, and threw them into one of the dragon heads. Moments later, a fragrance of herbs wafted through the air.

"Let's heat up this alchemy furnace first, I need to adjust my mindset and reach my optimal state. Among the elixirs I am about to prepare, the Strength God Elixir is undoubtedly the most difficult to perfect, so I will start with this one!"

Ye Chen began to select and prepare the herbs, deciding to tackle the most challenging task while he was at his peak to first create the Strength God Elixir.

If he could successfully concoct the Strength God Elixir, the rest of the elixirs would practically be within easy reach.
