In the midst of the gathering, Sheng Shaoqing began to clean the alchemical cauldron with the San Yuan Kai Tai technique. This was an exceedingly profound and mysterious method, one that Ye Wushuang was intimately familiar with—down to the very core of his being. The reason for his familiarity was simple: this secret technique had been created by him. Now, however, it was being wielded by Sheng Shaoqing of the Sheng Dan Sect.
Mu Qiqi and Qing Shihua had been right all along. When the Ye Clan was destroyed years ago, the Sheng Dan Pavilion had played a significant role. Otherwise, how could the Sheng Dan Sect have come into possession of such a secret technique?
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai continued, “The San Yuan Kai Tai technique was created by Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye Clan, in the past. Very few alchemists have ever seen it. Later, Ye Wentian passed it on to one of the Eighteen Wen Tian Guards, Tang Wenchuan.”
“But Tang Wenchuan is dead,” he added. “Logically, no one should know it anymore…”
From the side, Mu Qiqi coldly remarked, “When the Ye Clan was destroyed, the Sheng Dan Pavilion plundered a great many alchemical formulas and secret techniques…”
As Sheng Shaoqing now employed the San Yuan Kai Tai technique to clean the cauldron, many alchemists around him were treated to a rare and astonishing spectacle. They marveled and whispered in amazement.
On the other side, Ye Wushuang had yet to make a move, but many eyes were already focused on him. Seeing this, Sheng Shaoqing sneered, “If you don’t have any impressive techniques for cleaning the cauldron, just get started already!”
“Why are you looking at me?” he continued. “Do you really think you can learn the San Yuan Kai Tai technique just by watching me perform it?”
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s seemingly rustic demeanor, Sheng Shaoqing felt a deep sense of disdain. However, upon hearing his words, Ye Wushuang merely smiled faintly.
Some people truly deserved their fate.
In that moment, Ye Wushuang took a step forward and stood before the alchemical cauldron. He clenched his hand, and within his palm, a faint alchemical fire began to gather, its reddish-yellow glow winding around his fingertips. In the next instant, he gently pressed his palm against the exterior of the cauldron. Suddenly, the alchemical fire transformed into countless threads, densely wrapping around both the inside and outside of the cauldron.
Then, with a swift motion, Ye Wushuang withdrew his hand, pulling back the threads of alchemical fire and gathering them into one. As everyone watched, the fire converged in his palm, but instead of dissipating, it coalesced into a lump of black impurities. With a flip of his hand, Ye Wushuang let the impurities drift to the ground.
Cheng Yuanbai, witnessing this, gasped in astonishment. “Innate Alchemical Qi Technique!” he exclaimed, his breathing becoming rapid.
As Cheng Yuanbai’s words sank in, many of the surrounding alchemists were left stunned.
“The Innate Alchemical Qi Technique? That can’t be possible!”
“What is the Innate Alchemical Qi Technique?”
“You fool, don’t you know? Five hundred years ago, Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye Clan, was a master of alchemy, craftsmanship, arrays, and puppetry—unparalleled in history. The Innate Alchemical Qi Technique was a supreme secret method for cleaning alchemical cauldrons, created by Ye Wentian himself.”
“Not only that, I heard that even Tang Wenchuan, whom Ye Wentian personally tutored, failed to master it.”
“The San Yuan Kai Tai technique that Sheng Shaoqing just used was also created by Ye Wentian for cleaning cauldrons, but compared to the Innate Alchemical Qi Technique, it’s like a drop in the ocean!”
“Is this really true?”
“Would Master Cheng lie about something like this?”
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai took a step forward and declared with certainty, “It’s definitely the Innate Alchemical Qi Technique! I saw Ye Wentian use it myself back then. There’s no doubt about it!”
The crowd erupted into an uproar. A lost technique had just been performed by Ye Wushuang. How could this be possible?
Qing Mengli and Mu Qiqi, mother and daughter, exchanged glances, their expressions filled with astonishment. Especially Qing Mengli, the head of the Qingyun Pavilion and the imperial princess, her gaze towards Ye Wushuang now sparkled with a hint of admiration.
This young man was extraordinary!
In that moment, Qing Mengli even felt that Ye Wushuang might be the one to change the long-standing disadvantage that Qingyun Pavilion had faced against the Sheng Dan Pavilion.
Meanwhile, standing before the alchemical cauldron and preparing to begin the alchemical process, Sheng Shaoqing’s face turned sour.
