Ye Chenfeng endures immense pain and suffers severe injuries to his palms within the final Emperor Chamber. Despite warnings from Shen Xiuhai and others, he perseveres through the destructive forces of wind and rain. Just as his palms are nearing complete ruin, the chamber's power wanes, allowing a halo to form and rapidly heal his injuries. His palms are restored to perfection, having successfully advanced their fleshly strength to the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, causing the stone chamber to shatter.

"Brother, I won’t say much, you’ve really opened my eyes." Shen Xiuhai was increasingly in awe of Ye Chenfeng in his heart. Such a monstrous talent has a very high chance of reaching Eternal Life in the future.

This time, he managed to bring the physical strength of his two palms to the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, all thanks to the Shens’ last Emperor Chamber. Ye Chenfeng owed the Shens a debt of gratitude, and he had always been the type to repay kindness several times over.

As the group left the Emperor Chamber and walked out of the valley, the Messaging Jade Token on Shen Xiuhai began to flicker. After sensing the message within, a smile spread across his face as he murmured to himself, "Finally complete, finally gathered all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

Fan Qianrong asked, "Old Shen, have you gathered all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the elixir? Unfortunately, we don’t have any Supreme Alchemists in our Middle Realm, and as a Ninth Grade Alchemist, I can’t be of much help."

Upon hearing the vague conversation between Shen Xiuhai and Fan Qianrong, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Does the Shens need to refine a Supreme Elixir?"

Shen Xiuhai sighed, earnestly wanting to win over Ye Chenfeng, and did not hide the truth, saying, "Brother, you might not know, but the one who needs the Supreme Elixir is my brother, Shen Xiutian. His cultivation had already broken through to the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm many years ago."

...

Shen Xiuhai slowly recounted the story’s origin and development.

It turned out that many years ago, after Shen Xiuhai’s brother, Shen Xiutian, broke through to the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, the Shen family could relocate to the Upper World of the Divine Origin Realm.

However, the Shens had always been cautious in their actions.

So, Shen Xiutian went alone to explore the Upper World of the Divine Origin Realm. He was gone for over a year, and when he returned, he was covered in scars, looking as if he had been fleeing.

As soon as Shen Xiutian returned to the Shens, he only said a few words before falling unconscious, never waking again, leaving the Shens’ journey to the Upper World indefinitely postponed. They had no idea what Shen Xiutian encountered there.

The Shens used all their resources to try to wake Shen Xiutian. In the end, after examination by Ninth Grade Alchemist Fan Qianrong, it was determined that only a specific Supreme Elixir could wake Shen Xiutian, and Fan Qianrong happened to have the recipe for this Supreme Elixir, but his rank was insufficient to refine it.

So, the Shens began collecting the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to refine this Supreme Elixir.

It must be known that collecting the heavenly materials and earthly treasures for a Supreme Elixir is extremely difficult, and it took the Shens many years to finally gather all the required materials.

However, nobody in the Middle Realm could refine it.

After hearing Shen Xiuhai’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng nodded, realizing that he needed to act, considering he owed the Shens a favor, and Shen Xiuhai harbored no ill intentions towards him.

Shen Xiuhai said to Fan Qianrong, "It seems I will have to wait until I break through to the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, go to the Upper World, and then seek out a Supreme Alchemist to refine the elixir."

Fan Qianrong was not optimistic: "Old Shen, there are very few Supreme Alchemists in the Upper World, and they are far more arrogant than I am. Even if you reach the Upper World, you might not persuade a Supreme Alchemist, nor offer treasures to entice them."

Hearing Fan Qianrong’s words, Shen Xiuhai’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps I can give it a try."

The abruptness of Ye Chenfeng’s words puzzled Shen Xiuhai and the others, as they hadn’t considered what Ye Chenfeng wanted to try. After all, they were unaware that Ye Chenfeng was an Alchemist.

"Brother, what do you want to try?" Shen Xiuhai asked.

Ye Chenfeng replied, "I’d like to try refining the Supreme Elixir."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Shen Xiuhai, Fan Qianrong, and Shen Tingyu were all stunned, while Long Gaoyuan remained calm.

A moment later.

"Brother, I know you want to help me, but could you really be a Supreme Alchemist?" Shen Xiuhai found his own words laughable.

Ye Chenfeng was only thirty years old, and his cultivation had already reached the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, with physical strength surpassing his cultivation. Such a person should have devoted all his energy to cultivation.

Alchemy is even more tedious and challenging than cultivation. Even if Ye Chenfeng pursued alchemy, what grade of Alchemist could he be? First Grade? Second Grade?

As Shen Xiuhai finished speaking.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "I am indeed a Supreme Alchemist, I’m not joking."

Hm?

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s serious demeanor, they were at a loss. Previously, Fan Qianrong had tested Ye Chenfeng’s alchemy rank once, but nothing was discovered. Only a Supreme Alchemist could avoid detection by the instrument. Could it be that Ye Chenfeng really was a Supreme Alchemist?

Fan Qianrong speculated internally, but reason told him it was impossible. Ye Chenfeng at thirty was already a strong Initial Stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivator, could he also be a Supreme Alchemist? It seemed utterly absurd.

As he flipped his palm.

A piece of Talisman Paper suddenly appeared in his hand.

This was a Spirit Talisman named Elixir Testing Talisman. Even a Supreme Alchemist could not evade the test of an Elixir Testing Talisman.

However, this Elixir Testing Talisman is a one-time consumable, and not all Talisman Masters can create it; only those with special attributes can.

Therefore, the Elixir Testing Talismans were extremely rare in the Middle Realm, which was why Fan Qianrong hadn’t wasted one on Ye Chenfeng previously. Now, it was the last one Fan Qianrong had.

"Young friend Ye, please inject your Spiritual Energy into this Spirit Talisman. It’s not that we don’t believe you; it’s just hard to believe."

"It’s just an Elixir Testing Talisman. If you’re a First Grade Alchemist, upon injecting your Spiritual Energy, it will explode and an ’One’ will form in the air."

"Continuing this way, if you’re a Ninth Grade Alchemist, a ’Nine’ will appear."

"If you are a Supreme Alchemist, the words ’Supreme’ will appear in the air after the paper bursts."

Upon hearing Fan Qianrong’s explanation.

Ye Chenfeng casually took the Elixir Testing Talisman and directly injected his Spiritual Energy, having no reason to hide any longer.

Fan Qianrong, Shen Xiuhai, and Shen Tingyu nervously watched Ye Chenfeng, until the Elixir Testing Talisman exploded with a "bang," forming the gleaming words "Supreme" in the air. They were motionless as if frozen, unable to process the situation.

They could hardly believe their eyes.

Ye, Ye Chenfeng is truly a Supreme Alchemist?

A thirty-year-old Supreme Alchemist?
