Chapter XVII: Fatal Calculations
Ye Zifeng's cross-border mission became famous in the martial arts, and the former waste wood became a recognized genius in one fell swoop, which inevitably made people feel emotional, and the originally declining Ye family also began to have some signs of improvement because of Ye Zifeng's transformation.
The biggest change is the change in the attitude of the people in the Ye Mansion towards Ye Zifeng, Ye Chongtian has not returned for the time being, in the past, the people of the Ye Mansion, even if they were servants, except for him as a young master on the surface, no one really regarded him as a young master, but now, they are all very diligent one by one, lest they snub Ye Zifeng.
After all, he was the eldest young master of the Ye family, and he used to be considered a waste wood because he was sick and weak and stayed in the Qi refining period for too long, but once he showed his huge potential, then sooner or later he would inherit the great cause of the Ye family and become the head of the Ye family! This is the great fortune of the Ye family and the hope of revitalization!
However, not everyone in the Ye family was happy to see Ye Zifeng's sudden rise.
"Dad, cousin, he is now in a small martial arts mission, and he got rid of the name of waste wood in one fell swoop, and the family seems to be a different person to him, I can't get used to it! I want to teach him a lesson and frustrate his prestige!"
Ye Huichi's eyes were full of hatred, he had been acquiesced by his father since he was a child, and he wantonly bullied Ye Zifeng, but now he saw that the object he had been bullying before had a higher status than himself, which made him unable to accept it for a while.
Ye Chen has always had no good impression of Ye Zifeng, the last time the Liu family came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, Ye Zifeng repeatedly contradicted himself three times, which made him hold a grudge, but he was cautious by nature, and he would not do anything he was not sure of.
"Teach him a lesson, don't be impulsive, since Ye Zifeng can complete this task of refining the fourfold peak of qi refining, you may not be his opponent, but you will be the one who will lose face at that time. ”
Ye Huichi was surprised: "Dad, what are you talking about, I am in the fivefold realm of qi refining, but he only has three levels of qi refining, how can I not be able to beat him?"
Ye Chen glanced at him coldly: "Then let me ask you, last time Liu Yige lost to that kid at the fivefold peak of Qi refining, what is going on?"
Ye Huichi was stunned when he heard this, and he had nothing to refute. At that time, Ye Zifeng didn't know what means he used, but he was able to hit Liu Yige with one blow and vomited blood on the spot, thinking about it afterwards, it was really an unbelievable thing.
Ye Chen saw Ye Huichi's unconvinced face, after all, he still felt sorry for his son, and sighed: "If you want to deal with Ye Zifeng, it's not impossible to deal with it, it's just that it's just ......."
Ye Huichi's eyes lit up: "Dad, are you willing to help me?!"
"I'm your father, I don't help you, who else will help you. Ye Chen smiled bitterly and continued to speak: "You listen to me finish speaking...... It's just that you can't use brute force, you have to learn to use your brain! What do you think is the reason why this kid Ye Zifeng has become so strong in a short period of time?"
Ye Huichi hesitated for a while, not thinking clearly.
Ye Chen reminded: "Think about it, Ye Zifeng's abnormal behavior has been very different from his previous behavior. ”
Ye Huichi was silent for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "I remember, I heard that Ye Zifeng was severely taught by Wang Lin and them before, could it be that he became more powerful after being beaten by them?"
Ye Chen took a sip lightly: "Stupid! if you take a beating, you can become powerful, believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson now, and let your kid climb to the realm of the sixth level of qi refining!"
Ye Huichi's face suddenly turned like dirt, and he hurriedly shook his head.
Ye Chen groaned: "If my guess is right, the problem is on the Dan furnace, do you remember that Ye Zifeng had refined the pill in the firewood room before!"
Ye Huichi was slightly puzzled in his eyes: "However, I heard Steward Du say that all the slag that Ye Zifeng has refined is slag, and he hasn't even seen the appearance of the worst and inferior elixir." ”
Ye Chen shook his head: "I thought so at first, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, since Ye Zifeng's defeat of Liu Yige last time, combined with the change in Mrs. Tang's attitude towards Ye Zifeng, I think this matter is not simple, maybe what Ye Zifeng refined at the beginning may not be slag, and there are also successful pills. ”
"Won't you...... Cousin, he had never learned any alchemy skills, so why did he succeed? As for Mrs. Tang's words, it may be that Xue Yi moved her. Ye Huichi thought for a moment.
Ye Chen smiled coldly: "Xue Yi, that little girl can talk about Tang Feng? hehe...... I know Tang Feng's character, if he doesn't get the slightest benefit, Tang Feng will definitely not be able to help Ye Zifeng! And this benefit ...... I think the biggest possibility is the pill. ”
Ye Huichi nodded with understanding, in fact, he also felt quite strange about Ye Zifeng's sudden proposal to alchemy, at first he thought that this was an act of throwing money into the water, and wanted to use this to ridicule him, but now it seems that Ye Zifeng did this with his considerations.
"But, in that case, Daddy is just guessing. ”
Ye Chen's face stiffened, obviously being said to be a sore spot.
A ruthless color flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, since Ye Zifeng has signs of rising, we have to suppress him, otherwise in the future, when he is full-fledged, maybe he will retaliate against us, and in addition, you will not be able to be the new head of the Ye family in the future." "According to the customs of Leizhou City, if the eldest young master cannot succeed to the position of the head of the family, he will be given the throne to the second young master.
"Dad, what should I do, you say!"
Ye Chen paced back and forth a few steps, and smiled slyly: "You come here with your ears......
......
The consistent attitude of the Ye family has changed, so that Ye Zifeng can no longer hear the scolding of waste wood and waste recently, and his ears are much clearer.
Among them, the happiest is Ye Xueyi.
"Brother Zifeng, I knew that this day would come, and I knew that you would wash away the name of waste and start your cultivation path again!
Seeing Ye Xueyi so happy for himself, Ye Zifeng was also very pleased, to have a relative who remembered himself and thought about himself everywhere by his side, this was the biggest gain after he crossed over.
However, despite this, his heart was far less happy than it had been. While it can free oneself from the name of waste, it can also attract the envy of others.
In the Ye family, the two most obvious expressions of malice towards him are Ye Huichi and Ye Chen, and when it comes to some of their motives, Ye Zifeng is not very at ease with them. This is also part of the reason why he asked Tang Feng to help him keep the secret of alchemy before, if he let some villains know his strength in alchemy, it is very likely that he will suppress himself even more.
And now, Ye Zifeng's strength is still too weak, and his prestige in the Ye family has just begun to rise, and Ye Xueyi is the only one who is willing to sincerely help him, and with his own power, he is far from being able to ignore these villains.
Only by doing everything possible to enhance one's own strength is the top priority.
"Xueyi, I'll ask your mother to prepare some auxiliary herbs for me......" Ye Zifeng asked coldly.
Ye Xueyi smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, it's all here with me, and it's already ready." ”
"Very good, you took the auxiliary herbs, go to the firewood room with me, refine it, and give you some good things. Ye Zifeng nodded with a smile, and began to sort out some of the materials needed for alchemy in his backpack, including three thunder and lightning rhinoceros horns, and some ordinary medicinal materials from the treasure pavilion.
"Thank you, Brother Zifeng!" Ye Xueyi was happy when she heard that there were good things to share with her.
"However, you haven't rested much time when you come back, and you're going to the firewood room to refine the pill again, aren't you afraid that you'll be tired?" Ye Xueyi was still more worried about Ye Zifeng's sick and weak body.
Ye Zifeng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not as sick and weak as before, the thunder and lightning rhinoceros and I haven't consumed me for three days, let alone refining a pill?"
Ye Xueyi laughed, and her interest immediately flooded her heart.
"By the way, Brother Zifeng, I still want to know, how did you subdue those thunderbolt rhinoceros! ”
"Okay, you take your things and follow me, and I'll talk to you as we go. Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously.
The two chatted and laughed......
"I see, Brother Zifeng can also absorb the power of Lei Lingcao through that little ding, it's really powerful, did you think about it from the beginning. Ye Xueyi couldn't help but say in admiration.
Ye Zifeng nodded: "But all fierce beasts with elemental attributes, the environment in which they grow will always have some elemental breath, which can be said to be the most common among mortal-level fierce beasts." That's why when I received the task that day, I was a little happy to see that this was a mortal-level beast with attributes, because I knew how to deal with it......"
Ye Xueyi was stunned when she heard this, she was actually quite receptive, but Ye Zifeng spoke now like a generation of grandmasters, and Ye Zifeng was completely different from the waste wood Ye Zifeng before.
"Brother Zifeng, did you secretly hold back your strength and secretly work hard to learn some theoretical knowledge before? Otherwise, how do you know about things like these things that even I don't know very well......? I see, in the illustrated book of otherworldly beauties you read before, there must still be a copy of "General Theory of Alchemy", isn't it?"
Ye Zifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really didn't know how to refute the things of black history before.
At this time, the two had already walked into the firewood room.
"Okay, Xueyi, pour all your auxiliary medicinal materials into the Dan furnace first, and after a long time of incense, I will add the main ingredients to it little by little. Ye Zifeng put down his backpack at the door.
Ye Xueyi covered her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and poured medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace as Ye Zifeng said.
"Brother Zifeng, I was chatting with you just now, so I didn't pay much attention to it, why are there some other medicinal materials in this Dan furnace, some are white, some are red, and ......?"
"I didn't let go of other herbs. Ye Zifeng was stunned when he heard this.
After a moment, as if he remembered something, he suddenly stood up and cursed.
"Oh no, fooled!"
At the same time, he rushed towards Ye Xueyi with all his might, and in her panic, he threw her directly to the ground.
And the Dan furnace behind the two of them seemed to be ignited by a raging fire, and it exploded with a "boom"!
