Chapter 2: Zulong Seeks the Alchemist

"The Purple Qi cultivation method can be practiced at any time, and I found that the powerful force between heaven and earth still exists, but compared to the Purple Qi of the rising sun, it is more difficult to absorb and the efficiency is not high."

Ye Yu practiced the technique again, carefully comprehending the mystery behind it.

Although this kind of purple energy has always existed, Ye Yu could not feel it at all before, let alone absorb it.

And now, the Qi training method has been promoted to the Purple Qi training method. Only after reaching the entry level can one feel the difference between the world and before.

In addition to the internal force in his body being transformed into true qi, Ye Yu also found that his five senses had become sharper, and the entire world seemed several times clearer.

It’s like a person who was severely myopic suddenly has his vision restored and can see everything in the world clearly.

The true energy of the Purple Qi Cultivation Method continued to surge in Ye Yu's body. The next moment, Ye Yu touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air. The whole person flew several feet away in an instant, as if riding the wind, extraordinary and otherworldly.

"Boom!"

Ye Yu easily lifted a thousand-pound boulder, and then he threw it with force. The boulder rolled down violently and broke several trees in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Then, Ye Yu tried to jump again and was able to jump to a height of three or four feet without any effort.

“If I had reached the perfect state of Qi training, I might still have rivals in this world, but after switching to the Purple Qi training method, no one can defeat me.”

For a quarter of an hour, Ye Yu tested his strength in the mountains and forests, and finally came to this conclusion.

But after this test, Ye Yu consumed a lot of true energy and had to stop.

With every breath he took while walking, it seemed as if some substance was entering Ye Yu's body, and then was quickly refined and transformed into true qi which flowed into his dantian.

Ye Yu was walking slowly back to the courtyard on the top of the mountain. When he was about to reach the door, he was stunned. He saw several people walking towards him.

The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing gorgeous clothes and a jade crown on his head. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

Moreover, there were six people following behind the middle-aged man, four of whom had swords on their waists and wore tight clothes. It was obvious that the four of them were guards.

As for the other two, they seemed to be subordinates or servants. One of them was dressed simply and had an elegant temperament, exuding a scholarly air.

The other man was of burly build, also dressed in tight clothes, with a big sword on his waist, and exuding a murderous aura.

"Where did this prince or nobleman come from in this deep mountain forest?" Ye Yu felt a little suspicious.

This is just an ordinary mountain and there is no beautiful scenery to see, so almost no one comes here on weekdays.

Of course, when the original owner's master was still alive, a few alchemists would come here from time to time to discuss alchemy. After the master passed away, gradually no one came anymore.

It’s also because the original owner had nowhere to go, otherwise he would have left here long ago.

"My dear brother, is Master Xu here?"

Not long after, a group of people came to Ye Yu. Li Si, who was standing next to him, walked straight up to him, saluted and asked Ye Yu.

"Master passed away a few years ago. I wonder what's going on with you all?"

Ye Yu understood instantly. It turned out that they didn't know that the master had passed away long ago. These people probably didn't come to talk to the master about the profound theory of alchemy!
I still remember that more than half a year ago, someone also came here to look for the original owner's master, but these dignitaries in front of me were the first time Ye Yu had met them.

"What? Passed away?"

"Who was that person who was surrounded by purple air on the top of the mountain just now?"

Hearing Ye Yu's words, Ying Zheng and others were stunned.

"Then who lives here?"

Li Si reacted immediately and asked again.

"It's just me." Ye Yu responded.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and others couldn't help but look at Ye Yu again.

Ye Yu looked young, probably in his early twenties, with delicate features, and was dressed in a white robe. He had a tall and slender figure, and exuded an otherworldly temperament.

It really looks extraordinary and cannot be compared to ordinary people.

"Could it be that the person who was practicing on the top of the mountain just now was you?"

Although the other person looked very young, Li Si's tone now had a more formal tone to it.

Although I don’t know what the vision just now was, if this young man is really extraordinary, then calling him “little brother” would seem frivolous.

"Well, it's me."

Ye Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the scene of his practice just now was seen by these people in front of him.

However, Ye Yu did not intend to hide the fact that he was practicing. Although he had made some progress in his practice and was not in a hurry to show it to the world, it did not mean that he would lie or hide it.

After all, in this world, Ye Yu is now considered the number one person in the world. Not to mention high-ranking officials, he is not even afraid of Qin Shi Huang.

Although his internal strength had just been converted into true energy, it was still incomparable to ordinary people. Being alone, it would be almost impossible for a large army to encircle and suppress him, and he could also easily carry out a decapitation operation.

With the weapons and equipment of this era, Ye Yu estimated that he could treat the most heavily guarded Xianyang Palace as nothing.

"Could it be that you were practicing the art of guiding Qi just now? We all saw purple Qi lingering around you, which was very impressive!"

Seeing that Ye Yu did not deny that he was practicing just now, before Li Si had time to speak this time, Ying Zheng on the side could not help but ask a question.

During the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty, the practice of refining and guiding qi, absorbing and circulating qi in order to achieve immortality was very popular among alchemists.

It was similar to the qigong craze in the 1980s in Ye Yu’s previous life. It was extremely popular and was no less popular among alchemists than refining elixirs and swallowing magical medicines.

It was even passed down to later generations, and these alchemists who used Qi training were also called Pre-Qin Qi Refiners.

Hearing Ying Zheng ask this, Ye Yu just nodded slightly and did not argue with him. Other people's Qi-refining and guiding techniques were all counterfeit, and his own was the real thing.

"Knew it!"

Seeing Ye Yu nod, Ying Zheng was instantly excited.

Ying Zheng was extremely serious about metaphysics, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to start the craze for alchemists.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while. Ying Zheng and others did not reveal their identities. Ying Zheng said his surname was Wang and he was a minor official from a certain place. He passed by here and came here because of his admiration for the place.

"Sir, your Qi-refining and guiding technique is so profound, why don't you go to Xianyang to respond to the emperor's call? You will become rich and powerful without a problem."

Ying Zheng began to inquire about Ye Yu's method of cultivation.

Previously, Ying Zheng had sent out documents to invite alchemists from all over the world to come to Xianyang. If they were valued, they would surely enjoy a life of wealth and glory.

Now that he saw that Ye Yu seemed to be very advanced in this area, Ying Zheng could no longer wait.

"I haven't even mastered Qi Refining yet, how can I embarrass myself in front of the world?"

Ye Yu told the truth.

Now Ye Yu has only deduced the preliminary method of Qi Refining through his extraordinary understanding. There are still many areas that need to be improved. In addition to the Qi Refining Method, Ye Yu also wants to deduce more things, such as spells, magical powers, magic tools, formations, etc.

Only in this way can you go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent. This is the real god!
