Chapter 2245: Side Job Chapter 2245: Side Job Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Great Dao Pill Sound! A heavenly phenomenon! How many alchemists would go their whole lives without ever hearing the Great Dao Pill Sound? It was a rare experience that could not be sought after! A Star Aperture-grade alchemist had just broken through to become a mid-rank Star Aperture-grade alchemist right there. Being able to hear the Great Dao Pill Sound was a tremendous opportunity for them. When an alchemist made a breakthrough, the other alchemists sensed a rise in their own alchemical standards. Even though they did not break through at that moment, they had just gained new insights and definitely learned a lot. Ye Chen opened the alchemy furnace and took out the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. He observed a dragon and a tiger phantom hovering above the pill. Putting aside the tribulation of the pill and the Great Dao Pill Sound, the sight of the dragon and tiger phantom spiraling around the pill was sufficient proof of its quality. Ye Chen’s alchemical pill had completely surpassed the one created by Master Yu. The difference between the two was obvious to anyone who looked. At this moment, Ye Chen’s heart was filled with shock. The so-called trash technique from Divine Doctor Cang Gu actually had such exceptional results. If he were to learn Divine Doctor Cang Gu’s actual legacy, would he then be invincible in the fields of medicine and alchemy? Unfortunately, Divine Doctor Cang Gu had a rather peculiar temperament. At this moment, Master Yu lay completely collapsed on the ground. He was a Star Aperture-grade alchemist, yet he had been defeated by an unknown junior. The other alchemists looked at Ye Chen with a gaze that was completely transformed. Now, it was filled with shock and admiration. For a young man to create a heavenly phenomenon, although his current level was not very high, it was clear that he would become an alchemy grandmaster in the future. The city lord himself had not expected that the young man, whom everyone had looked down upon, could actually… “Actually, alchemy is just my side job!” Ye Chen felt somewhat speechless upon seeing the admiring gazes directed at him. When the alchemists present heard Ye Chen’s words, they felt a wave of blood rise in their throats. They had dedicated their entire lives to mastering the art of alchemy. Despite this, a person doing it as a side job had managed to produce the Great Dao Pill Sound. Was there any fairness in this? “Master Yu, since you have lost entirely, you might as well commit suicide!” Ye Chen fixed his gaze on Master Yu, who lay on the ground. If two people fought to the death while refining pills, the loser would naturally meet a grim fate. Master Yu’s whole body trembled as he glanced at the city lord. He hoped that the city lord could intervene and save him from this fate. No matter what, he was still a Star Aperture-grade alchemist. As long as he could survive, he would earn respect from others once again. How could he accept the fact that he was facing death now? The city lord wanted to say something kind, but when he saw Ye Chen’s piercing gaze, he remained silent. There was no need to offend a talented young alchemist for the sake of Master Yu. He understood which of the two was more important. Master Yu’s eyes turned ashen. He looked at Ye Chen and said, “I am willing to give you everything I possess if you let me live.” He owned some treasures. Although if he gave them all to Ye Chen and was now penniless, as long as he was alive, he could earn them back eventually. “Are your treasures truly valuable?” Ye Chen smiled with disdain. Although alchemists were indeed wealthy, he held no interest in their riches at all. “Do you truly want me to die?” Master Yu stood up, glaring at Ye Chen with intense fury. He was also a strong expert. Even though he was injured, he was not afraid of a middle-stage Star Aperture realm expert. “That is correct,” Ye Chen replied with a smile. The aura radiating from a late-stage Star Aperture realm expert posed no threat to him whatsoever. At that moment, Master Yu suddenly charged forward. His entire body lunged toward Ye Chen. If Ye Chen died, he would naturally be able to survive. No matter how talented Ye Chen was, if he were dead, he would no longer be a threat. The city lord and the others would not punish him for the death of a mere boy either. Although it was a rather despicable act, Master Yu felt he had no choice but to do this to ensure his survival. As long as he lived, he could still be a respected and powerful alchemist. Master Yu moved with incredible speed. The onlookers barely had time to react. The city lord intended to intervene, but it was already too late. Ye Chen stood still as if he had been petrified. He did not move at all. A cold smile crept across Master Yu’s lips. Although he had not focused much on martial arts, he was still a formidable expert. He believed he could eliminate Ye Chen with a single strike! Just as Master Yu was about to reach him, Ye Chen shook his head slightly. Then, he clenched his fists, producing a creaking sound. Boom! Master Yu’s entire body was sent flying. His chest caved in, and a mouthful of blood erupted from his lips as he fell to the ground, dead as dead could be. The power of a single punch! The alchemists present looked at one another in confusion. What had just transpired? Initially, they had thought Ye Chen was joking when he stated that alchemy was merely a side job. However, it now seemed that was indeed the case… The alchemists present remained silent. To put it bluntly, Master Yu had only himself to blame for the outcome he faced. If he had not targeted Ye Chen, how could he have been killed? The city lord ordered his subordinates to dispose of Master Yu’s corpse. Then he said, “You all shall stay in my estate for the time being. You will head to the Demon Territory in two days.” Ye Chen and the others nodded slightly. After the city lord departed, an old man approached him with a little girl. The little girl had her hair styled in a ponytail, and her eyes were fixed on Ye Chen. “Little brother, you haven’t been to the Demon Territory before, right? When the time comes, we can stick together and help each other.” Ye Chen glanced at the old man and smiled. “No problem.” When he had fought with Master Yu, aside from the city lord, it was this old man who had kindly provided him with reminders. “My name is Kong Wei. If you do not mind, you can call me Elder Kong. You must be cautious in the Demon Territory and avoid any conflicts with them.” “Jun Mochen is a notorious tyrant. He kills without hesitation…” “After the fall of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Race has changed significantly.” Elder Kong had clearly visited the Demon Race before, and shared some news with Ye Chen. In summary, the demons were chaotic, and killings were rampant. Therefore, it was crucial to maintain a low profile in the Demon Territory. If one was not careful and provoked a powerful expert, they could be killed on the spot in the streets. Such incidents were far too common in the Demon Territory. Ye Chen’s eyes glimmered with determination. So what if it was Jun Mochen? Not only did he intend to awaken the Demon Emperor, but he also aimed to reconstruct the Demon Emperor’s body. He wanted to declare to the demons that their emperor had returned! … In the ruins of the Demon Territory, Demonic energy surged. Countless demonic beasts charged toward a broken figure, which appeared to belong to an old man. Their fierce fangs were stained with blood. Clearly, they had just torn apart a person. These demonic beasts were incredibly powerful and were far more terrifying than demonic beasts of the same realm. The leading demonic beast sneered and charged at the unconscious figure. Suddenly, the old man’s finger twitched/ Lightning crackled around him, and the surrounding demonic beasts were shredded apart. The old man crawled to his feet, his face covered in dust. He looked around and smiled. “Ye Chen, I fear you are here as well.” “This risky move has finally allowed me to triumph over the Divine Kingdom.” “However, whether you can withstand the Divine Kingdom’s forces will depend on your luck here.”
