Chapter 617: Chapter 548: The Center of Attention

"Truly, a master indeed produces a distinguished disciple. The Evil Emperor is hailed as Huaxia’s number one Divine Doctor, but his disciple actually managed to concoct the legendary Immortal Pill that can revive the dead and prolong life—it’s truly incredible!"

"Is this news real? I’ve heard that even in the ancient times, there were few who could concoct the Lifespan Extension Pill, and there’s even a saying that the Lifespan Extension Pill is a fictional Elixir Pill that doesn’t exist at all, hence it’s called the Immortal Pill."

"Completely true. At that time, figures like the Huaxia Saber King, the Wudang Sect Leader, Granny Jiang, and Yan such Supreme Strongmen all witnessed it with their own eyes. Besides, there were also many cultivators who flocked there upon hearing the news."

"A senior brother of mine happened to be passing by Dong Hai on that day and was fortunate enough to witness that unbelievable scene. According to what he said, not only did the Evil Emperor’s Disciple trigger the Dan Tribulation that day, but the Dan Tribulation was incredibly terrifying. Even Yan and other Supreme Strongmen felt their hearts palpitate with fear..."

"How did the Evil Emperor’s Disciple withstand the Dan Tribulation?"

...

The next day.

Ye Fan defied the heavens and succeeded in concocting the Lifespan Extension Pill—this news, like a tornado, swept through the Huaxia Cultivation World and caused a tremendous stir.

All the major sects, cultivation families, and cultivators’ gatherings were discussing this matter; some questioned it, some were astonished, while many more were curious. They were curious about how Ye Fan could cultivate and break through amidst the terrifying Dan Tribulation, and as someone at the Innate Great Perfection Realm, how he withstood the latter two terrifying tribulations.

"Have you heard? There’s a guy in Huaxia named Ye Fan who successfully concocted Divine Medicine."

"People from Huaxia always love to boast. You believe such things?"

"Exactly, how is it possible to concoct such defying Divine Medicine in this era?"

"It’s true. It’s said that this guy is Chu Xuanji’s disciple. You know Chu Xuanji, right? He’s the Divine Doctor who was the first to develop resistance to the destroy virus and saved humanity!"

...

In the afternoon, the news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the globe where cultivators resided and became the talk of the town.

Unlike the Huaxia cultivators, although Ye Fan was Chu Xuanji’s disciple, cultivators from the other Five Great Alliances were more skeptical than believing.

"I swear by the name of God, that Huaxia Cultivator named Ye Fan couldn’t possibly concoct Divine Medicine! Not even his master, the Divine Doctor who once saved the entire human race, could do it!"

The following evening, a famous alchemist from the European Union stepped forward and openly denied everything, declaring it to be false news.

After this European Union alchemist publicly spoke out, renowned alchemists from the Russian Alliance, Tianzhu, and the African Union also came forward to deny everything one after another.

Only the American Alliance was the exception.

The alchemists from the Four Great Alliances were the old bones of the Cultivation World, having spent their lives dedicated to medical study and Alchemy, and could even be considered authorities of their respective Alliances.

They vehemently denied everything, partly because they subjectively thought concocting Divine Medicine was too unreal and no one could do it. More importantly, the one who accomplished this was Ye Fan!

Even though Ye Fan was Chu Xuanji’s disciple, in their eyes he was nothing but a junior!

A junior who made a name for himself by concocting Divine Medicine that they were unable to concoct themselves, wasn’t this a slap in their faces?

Would they be willing to accept that??

Although no alchemist from the American Alliance came forward to speak, the collective public statement from the Four Great Alliance’s alchemists was weighty enough—when their opinions spread, almost no one from the other Five Great Alliances believed them. They all regarded it as false news.

Unlike those overseas cultivators, the elite of Huaxia unanimously believed the news was true and gave it great attention.

Because they all knew that this matter would determine the future pattern of Huaxia and had profound significance.

For this, starting from the day the news was released, including the Bai Family, major powers in Huaxia sent people to wait at the Yanjing International Airport to see when Ye Fan would come to prolong Ye Yuan’s life.

Even some major forces, represented by the Bai Family, took the risk of having people lurk near the alley where Ye Family Mansion was located, wanting to determine at the earliest opportunity whether Ye Fan could save Ye Yuan’s life with the legendary Lifespan Extension Pill.

Besides that, the governments of the other Five Great Alliances also adopted an attitude of ’better to believe it and be wrong than not to believe when it’s true,’ and sent out intelligence agents to frantically inquire about the latest developments of this matter.

For a time, the vast Yanjing was teeming with spies; the Huaxia Officialdom was in turmoil.

The next morning, a business jet from Tianshan Group landed at Yanjing International Airport, attracting immense attention.

Inside the terminal, on the airport runway, a multitude of figures turned their attention to the passenger plane.

The cabin door opened, and Chu Ji, clad in a red cloak, was the first to disembark, followed by father and son, Ye Wenhao and Ye Fan.

"Just as I expected, the young chap is now the center of attention," Chu Ji commented with a flirtatious smile to Ye Fan as she sensed the multitude of gazes upon exiting the cabin door.

"Heh, some people will not give up until they hit a dead end," Ye Wenhao also acutely sensed those gazes and even sensed the presence of a few cultivators. One of them was all too familiar—a Bai Family’s Assassin—his gaze swept towards the assassin with a cutting edge.

The Bai Family’s Assassin was shocked by Ye Wenhao’s gaze and hastily retreated, but didn’t leave.

Ye Fan was likewise aware of those gazes and sensed the presence of several cultivators, but he showed no reaction and remained calm.

Ye Fan was completely composed.

Clearly... he was well aware the significance of his arrival in Yanjing this time to help Ye Yuan prolong his life was so paramount that it would be difficult not to attract attention.

Minutes later, observed by the spies and secret agents, Ye Fan and his companions, Ye Wenhao and Chu Ji, left the airport in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Once Ye Fan and his companions’ Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the airport expressway, one car after another appeared and started to follow behind them, maintaining a distance that was neither close nor distant.

"Do you think they’d dare to kill to silence people and snatch the Lifespan Extension Pills?"

In the backseat of the car, Chu Ji crossed her slender legs, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it around as she asked with a smile.

"With the Yanhuang Organization in Yanjing, even if someone dares to do this, they would most likely be nipped in the bud."

Ye Wenhao shook his head, well aware of how terrifying the intelligence network of the Yanhuang Organization was; the moment a cultivator sneaked into Yanjing, they would absolutely be detected right away.

"Compared to bearing witness to the Ye Family’s fawning faces in a short while, I’m more eager to see the Bai Family’s expressions of fear and despair," said Chu Ji, slowly sipping her red wine, her tongue softly caressing her seductive red lips as she spoke with anticipation.

Ye Wenhao gave a wry smile to himself, while Ye Fan remained calm.

Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove onto the final main road leading to the Ye Family Mansion, and the vehicles following behind gradually left one by one.

In one of the cars, a Bai Family assassin drove with one hand, picked up a specially-made phone, and dialed a number, succinctly reporting, "The target is confirmed to be heading towards the Ye Family Mansion."

"Immediately contact the people lurking in the Ye Family Mansion and have them keep close watch. If there’s any disturbance, report it right away."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yuan’s secretary swiftly relayed the commands before hanging up. After contemplating for a moment, he walked towards Bai Yuan’s study.

This was an office villa located inside the Hong Qiang Courtyard where the first floor consisted almost entirely of interconnected rooms with a rest area, a study, an office, and a reception room.

Today, instead of reviewing documents in his office as usual, Bai Yuan secluded himself in his study.

Inside the study, the air was hazy with smoke, and the ashtray in front of Bai Yuan was crammed with cigarette butts.

"Chief, you can’t smoke anymore."

The secretary walked into the room and upon seeing this situation, he approached with concern, advising.

He was Bai Yuan’s secretary and also his closest confidant, fully aware of Bai Yuan’s serious lung condition and the doctor’s firm ban on smoking.

To live a few more years, Bai Yuan had rarely smoked in the past few years, to be precise, only three times.

All three times were related to Ye Fan.

The first time was when Ye Fan collapsed Bai Luo’s scheme, utilizing the rules to send Bai Luo to Yanhuang Organization’s secret prison, destroying Bai Luo’s life.

The next two times were when Ye Fan helped the Ye Family avert disaster, breaking through the situation with his own strength at the last moment, and disintegrating the Bai Family’s offensive against the Ye Family, resulting in the Bai Family’s failure in their clash with the Ye Family.

This was the fourth time Bai Yuan smoked, far exceeding the previous three occasions.

"Has he arrived?"

Bai Yuan asked, as if he did not hear the secretary’s words, still holding a cigarette, his face haggard and voice dry.

"He has... arrived."

The secretary sighed. He knew that at this moment, the Bai Family had one foot in the coffin, and it was unrealistic to expect Bai Yuan, the helmsman of the Bai Family, to remain as composed as he used to be. Therefore, he refrained from persuading Bai Yuan to put out his cigarette.

"Do you think we made a big mistake right from the start?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan proactively extinguished the cigarette, raised his head, and looked at the ceiling, his expression filled with regret, "We all underestimated that bastard, thinking he was the bane of the Ye Family. In the end, he turned out to be the Ye Family’s savior, which has to be said is an irony!"

"Chief, it’s just rumors at the moment that he has successfully refined the Lifespan Extension Pill. Whether that medicine is truly as miraculous as the legends suggest, and whether Ye Yuanshan can be revived, remains to be seen," said the secretary, trying to console him, although he himself understood that by this point, the matter was most likely true.

"Stand guard at the door. Before this matter is completely resolved, I won’t see anyone or answer anyone’s calls," Bai Yuan said, his despairing face glimmering with a sliver of hope, like a drowning man clutching at the last straw.

"Yes, Chief!"

The secretary took the order and left the study.

Meanwhile.

Ye Fan’s Rolls-Royce Phantom turned into the alley where the Ye Family Mansion was located. After two consecutive turns, it headed toward the gate of the Ye Family Mansion.

All the Ye Family members, except for Ye Yuanshan, led by Ye Zhen, were standing at the door, excitedly waiting for the Rolls-Royce Phantom to stop.

From nearby high-rise buildings, numerous gazes were cast in this direction.

The Ye Family has a son named Fan.

This day.

The Ye Family Mansion was the focal point of the world’s attention.
