Chapter 1100: Chapter 689: Going Home

```

Shenxu Mountain, Stone Hall.

The thick fragrance of Elixir permeated the entire gloomy grand hall, transforming this place into a paradise like in the Human World.

A total of seven portions of Void Treasure Pill ingredients had all turned into flawless Immortal Pills in that Pill Furnace, each encapsulating the complete Ten Tribulation Power.

Although Ye Lan’s Alchemy Dao was rudimentary, having grown up on the peak, she had seen much and knew wide.

She had never seen a Pill Master like Shen Yi, whose Alchemy movements, control over the heat, and grasp of the heaven and earth’s essences were all impeccably precise from beginning to end.

Those Elixirs seemed to be identical copies, with no difference in color or appearance, simply inhuman!

Even if her master were to come back to life, he would probably not be able to achieve what Shen Yi had done.

What was even more terrifying to Ye Lan was the expression on the young man’s face.

This intense Elixir fragrance astonishingly failed to add a trace of joy to his calm demeanor, as if everything had been anticipated.

"If only... If only I had met you earlier, how good that would be."

Ye Lan’s fingertips trembled slightly, her emotions inexplicably a bit out of control.

Such an Alchemy genius, if he could have replaced her to join Dan Peak, under the master’s strenuous nurturing, perhaps he would have already become that otherworldly Dan Immortal.

Then, when helping Shenxu Ancestor through the great tribulation, master might not have needed to lead many fellow sect members to forcibly concoct that Third Grade Tribulation Pill, eventually failing to create the pill, leading to the sect’s demise.

"Sorry, I’ve lost my composure."

Ye Lan took a few quick breaths to steady her emotions, "Just leave the Elixirs here, let’s go."

...

Shen Yi silently watched the seven Void Treasure Pills in front of him.

Including those concocted when competing with Liu Ruifeng earlier, that is to say, every time Shenxu Ancestor awakens, he consumes hundreds of Tribulation Power in order to stabilize his Boundary.

It is "stabilizing", not "enhancing".

In other words, all this Tribulation Power is wasted away, as though every time he opens his eyes, Shenxu Mountain sacrifices a Fifth Grade Taiyi Immortal.

Such a tremendous consumption, even for a behemoth like Shenxu Mountain, must deplete its foundation to make it possible.

Supporting one person with such a vast Immortal Sect.

Even so, this venerable ancestor seems to never be satisfied.

Concocting these Elixirs, even if Shen Yi has made considerable progress, only three or four out of ten parts of Tribulation Power within the medicine can be retained, he still drained himself of more than forty years of Demon Lifespan.

Under such circumstances, they still want to consume him.

Shen Yi could feel that the eyes on the bronze door had indeed disappeared, but that Ancestor clearly kept his gaze on him, never leaving the Taixu Golden Core within him.

He now felt as if held at point by tens of thousands of swords, any slight movement other than Alchemy might lead to his death.

Under what circumstances would a glutton let go of the delicacy right under his eyelids?

"What’s wrong with you?"

Noticing something amiss, the departing Ye Lan turned back in confusion.

She saw Shen Yi standing with his hands down, after the Elixir fragrance gradually dispersed, the grand hall returned to darkness, the glow of furnace fire made his fair complexion flicker in and out, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment.

The young man slowly lifted his palm, under the astonished gaze of Ye Lan, he pinched a Void Treasure Pill and brazenly popped it into his mouth.

Chewing attentively, the medicinal power melted in between his lips and tongue, integrating into the Cangmu Silver Wheel’s Dao Fruit, becoming a part of the Taixu Golden Core.

Cultivation increased by Ten Tribulations!

"You..." Ye Lan’s face showed a touch of panic, Shenxu Ancestor was not the sort of sect elder one normally imagines; stern but with a warm heart beneath, like a stern father... all of which had nothing to do with the Ancestor, he was a pure Cultivator.

A Cultivator whose heart had only the Dao, and all external things served solely for the Dao!

And Shen Yi’s current actions were undoubtedly dancing on Shenxu Ancestor’s bottom line, as if determined to incite the Ancestor’s wrath.

Just as she was in a daze, Shen Yi had already pinched the second Void Treasure Pill followed by the third, fourth—

Until five Elixirs had entered his belly, the bronze door finally roared.

The grey fog rolled again, this time even Ye Lan could see, eyes muddied within the fog, as if having seen through all the mortal realms, carrying a sense of foolishness yet unfathomable clarity.

In the instant of being seen by these eyes, Ye Lan felt a bone-chilling cold, no matter the turmoil inside her heart, her body could not move at all, even the Taixu Dao Fruit within her felt as if frozen.

Shen Yi, as if seeing nothing, stretched his arm rigidly but stubbornly towards the next Elixir.

Finally, the remaining two Elixirs were also swallowed by him.

Such behavior shocked Ye Lan as if struck by lightning; for all her understanding of Shen Yi, she couldn’t fathom why such a cautious and ruthless Cultivator, who managed to survive under the Immortal Court, would make such an irrational move today.

Yet, those eyes quietly watched, as if wanting to see every minute change within Shen Yi’s body.

After an unknown amount of time, a hoarse voice, as if coming from ancient times, finally resonated in the grand hall.

With just one word, it made Ye Lan suddenly widen her eyes.

"Good."

Neither anger nor praise, it seemed like just an objective comment.

Like a gourmet critiquing an ingredient.

Shen Yi looked down at the ground, standing quietly.

The question that he had been pondering during Alchemy had only now found its answer.

Under what circumstances would a glutton let go of the delicacy right under his eyelids?

Naturally, it’s when the fish isn’t yet fat, the fruit not yet ripe, the dish only half-cooked, the heat is still far from enough.
