Invincible Soul Emperor-Chapter 327: A Method to Deal with the Huanyue Sect

After arriving at Qingyun Town, Qin Yue didn't even go to the Rising Sun Pavilion, heading directly to the Ye Family residence.

However, Ye Qingchen had already left. Ye Changqing was completely satisfied with his daughter-in-law, so when he saw Qin Yue, he told her everything. In truth, Ye Changqing understood that Ye Qingchen must be going to the Chaoyun Country to avenge his mother. The claim about going to the Qingyun Sect was just a story to keep him from worrying.

Ye Changqing's strength was only at the Martial Master Realm, so he couldn't help Ye Qingchen much. However, since Qin Yue was from the Rising Sun Pavilion, Ye Changqing hoped that by informing her, she might be able to support Ye Qingchen. Even if she couldn't offer direct help, Qin Yue might be able to dissuade Ye Qingchen from doing something foolish.

When Qin Yue learned that Ye Qingchen's mother had been persecuted by a three-star Sect, she immediately anticipated that, given Ye Qingchen's personality, it would become a fight to the death. Therefore, Qin Yue bade farewell to Ye Changqing and immediately had the Rising Sun Pavilion mobilize all its resources to gather intelligence on the Huanyue Sect.

Qin Yue then told Qin Zhantian that the Chaoyun Country was not far from the Northern Desolate Country, making it a great place to expand the Rising Sun Pavilion. As the Family Head of the Qin Family, Qin Zhantian was well aware of the Rising Sun Pavilion's activities. Having received reports that Qin Yue had tasked the Pavilion with gathering intelligence, he had already guessed her intentions. Qin Yue's goal was obviously to help Ye Qingchen.

Qin Zhantian didn't object. He arranged for all the necessary supplies and urged her to set off.

Qin Yue traveled at top speed, fearing Ye Qingchen might act impulsively and do something reckless. Now, seeing him safe and sound, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

Seeing Qin Yue by his side, Ye Qingchen felt his heart calm considerably. He took her hand, and they continued their journey together.

A blush crept onto Qin Yue's face, and her heart pounded in her chest, but she didn't pull her hand away. To prevent the moment from becoming awkward, she changed the subject.

"Qingchen, I have some intelligence on the Huanyue Sect. Would you like to see it?"

Ye Qingchen was slightly surprised but quickly understood that Qin Yue already knew everything. In other words, she had traveled thousands of miles to the Chaoyun Country solely for him.

Moved, Ye Qingchen gave Qin Yue a light kiss on the cheek, causing her to shyly lower her head.

Ye Qingchen smiled, took the jade slip from her hand, and began to examine its contents.

The intelligence from the Rising Sun Pavilion was naturally far more detailed than anything Ye Qingchen could have gathered on his own. It contained comprehensive records on the Huanyue Sect's location, the number of powerful experts, and even a fairly complete history of the sect itself. What surprised Ye Qingchen most was that the Huanyue Sect had actually been founded by alchemists.

And at present, the strongest alchemist within the sect had reached the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist!

Ye Qingchen paused, his mind racing as he contemplated the implications of this information. After a moment, he made up his mind.

It won't be easy to kill Huan Yuehua. Besides, given the crimes he's committed, simply killing him would be letting him off too lightly! The best way is to crush the Huanyue Sect first. I'll make Huan Yuehua taste what it's like to fall from grace. Only by killing him then can I finally quench the hatred in my heart!

Ye Qingchen had lost his mother at a young age, and the instigator of it all was none other than this Huan Yuehua.

I will make Huan Yuehua experience the loss of everything: wealth, status, and loved ones. Then, when he has collapsed in utter despair, I will kill him with my own hands. That is the only way to comfort the soul of my unjustly murdered mother!

With this plan in mind, Ye Qingchen began discussing it with Qin Yue. The Rising Sun Pavilion wanted to expand into the Chaoyun Country, and his alchemy skills could help them quickly build a reputation. At the same time, the Pavilion's resources could help him rapidly advance his own mastery of the Alchemy Dao. It was a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

With this in mind, and at Qin Yue's suggestion, Ye Qingchen adopted a facial disguise and the new name of Chen Qingye to avoid detection.

When they arrived in Illusory Moon City, they split up to begin their work. Ye Qingchen focused on staying indoors to concoct Spirit Pills and hone his alchemy. Qin Yue, on the other hand, was responsible for finding a suitable storefront and managing the various business relationships. Having been immersed in the operations of the Rising Sun Pavilion since childhood, she was confident in handling such details.

Everything was progressing methodically.

As Ye Qingchen's strength grew, his Soul Power became a far cry from what it once was. Combined with his numerous observations of master alchemists at work, his own alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, he possessed the Pill Emperor's Heart Sutra and the legacy of Old Master Fen Tian. With each improvement in his own alchemy, he gained new insights whenever he reviewed these teachings.

Time passed slowly, and three days later, Ye Qingchen successfully refined a fifth-grade Spirit Pill. He didn't grow arrogant, instead continuing to practice with other Spirit Pills to stabilize his new alchemy realm. Within half a month, he successfully advanced to become a fifth-grade alchemist.

According to the common classification for alchemists, Ye Qingchen could now be called a Pill King.

Meanwhile, thanks to Qin Yue's diligent efforts, a branch of the Rising Sun Pavilion was successfully established. This new branch of the Rising Sun Pavilion advertised itself as specializing in Spirit Pills. Thanks to Qin Yue's preparations, the grand opening ceremony was a lively event, attracting countless powerful experts who came to spectate.

Of course, most of the Spirit Pills sold at the Rising Sun Pavilion were crafted by Ye Qingchen. Since they were his own creations and it was the grand opening, the prices were set much lower than usual.

I'm completely confident in the quality of my Spirit Pills. With products this good and this affordable, how can I not shake the Huanyue Sect's Alchemy Pavilion?

To Ye Qingchen's disappointment, however, this was not the case. Although customers endlessly praised his Spirit Pills and they sold out completely, the bustling business had a negligible impact on the Huanyue Sect's Alchemy Pavilion. He understood that the Huanyue Sect had been operating in Illusory Moon City for many years, and its reputation was deeply entrenched. For a newcomer to challenge the Huanyue Sect's position simply by selling some low-priced Spirit Pills was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

After all, I can guarantee high-quality pills at low prices now, but what about in the long run?

Ye Qingchen knew that changing this situation required a groundbreaking event—one that would simultaneously damage the Huanyue Sect's prestige and rapidly boost his own. However, finding such an opportunity was a matter of luck, not something one could force.

Nevertheless, Ye Qingchen did not grow discouraged. He continued to hone his alchemical skills and instructed Qin Yue to have her people gather any and all information, patiently waiting for an opportunity to present itself.
