"Master, where are you going?"

Stepping into the Ye residence, Ye Qingxuan saw Ye Qingyu searching for him. Her pretty face was full of worry. She held onto Ye Qingxuan and said, "Young master, you are still injured. You can't run around."

A warm feeling filled Ye Qingxuan's heart. He turned his head to the side and saw that Ye Qingyu was only resting on his shoulder, her hair fragrant.

"Elder sister, I'm fine." Ye Qingxuan jumped up and down as he laughed.

Ye Qingyu rolled his eyes at him. Ye Qingxuan immediately became quiet and allowed her to carry him back to the small courtyard.

"Drink the medicine." Ye Qingyu handed over a bowl of medicine.

Ye Qingxuan drank it all in one gulp, grinning from ear to ear. He put down the medicine bowl and stared at Ye Qingyu. His hands gripped Ye Qingyu's small hands excitedly as he said, "Elder Sister, I can cultivate now!"

Ye Qingyu could not help but laugh. After all, he was born with a sealed meridian. Unless a deity poured his energy into him, he wouldn't be able to cultivate it for the rest of his life.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it!"

Ye Qingxuan had expected this to happen. He circulated his spirit energy, and a strand of spirit energy coiled around his index finger like a strand of hair.

"From now on, no one is allowed to bully us!"

Ye Qingyu did not know what to say, so he could only stare at the scene in front of him. She blinked hard, as if to hide her tears.

She raised her sleeves to cover her face before putting it down after a while. She stared at Ye Qingxuan with a strange glow in her eyes as she exclaimed, "I knew young master would not be ordinary!"

"Elder sister, we will not be ordinary." Ye Qingxuan asked.

Ye Qingyu could not help but smile. To her, Ye Qingxuan was everything.

Ye Qingxuan told Ye Qingyu about Hundred Herb Hall's matter, but Ye Qingyu was not as happy as she had expected. Instead, she said worriedly, "You severely injured Ye Yun. Although Ye Tong fears me, he will definitely secretly take revenge on you. You must be careful."

"I'm not afraid of him!" Ye Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "Whoever has bullied us before would have to pay the price! "Big Sister, I won't let you marry Ye Jun!"

Ye Qingyu's heart warmed, but she immediately smiled wryly in her heart: Foolish brother, Ye Jun is the direct grandson of the Branch Lord, how can you make him your enemy?

Inside the Sun Moon Ancient City, the Sin Branch Lord Ye Kong was the strongest warrior. For Ye Qingxuan's sake, she could only feel wronged.

"Young master, you must remember not to act rashly towards Ye Tong and the others." Ye Qingyu said.

Ye Qingxuan nodded.

He went back to his room and took off his shirt. Then, he took out the Return of Spring Powder and spread it evenly on his wound. The Return of Spring Pill had a mild effect, and he could only feel his skin become scorching hot.

"I wonder if these two bottles of Bone Tempering Pills can help me break through to the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Stage?"

Ye Qingxuan swallowed a Bone Tempering Pill and began to circulate the Dragon Elephant Heaven Technique.

The Bone Tempering Pill was an inexpensive pill that could only be consumed by a Dragon Elephant Stage martial artist. This was a medicinal pill refined from the bones of tigers, leopards, and other fierce beasts. It was extremely useful to a Dragon and Elephant Realm martial artist.

As the pill entered his stomach, Ye Qingxuan immediately felt a surge of energy expanding within his body, spreading to his limbs and bones. That wave of power was extremely powerful, and at the same time, extremely berserk, as if a fierce tiger was rampaging about.

His heart trembled as he activated the Dragon and Elephant Heaven Technique to absorb the medicinal energy.

Qin Wentian only saw Ye Qingxuan's bones emitting cracking sounds as his abdominal cavity vibrated rhythmically. The sounds of dragons and elephants resonating in the air could be heard as well.

Following his activation of the profound art, strands of the spirit energy between heaven and earth began to gather towards him as well. Like hazy starlight, they submerged into Ye Qingxuan's body.

This profound art focused on body refinement. Its knowledge regarding qi refinement was very shallow, and it could only be used to simply draw qi into the body.

After an incense stick of time, the medicinal efficacy of the Bone Tempering Pill had completely fused into Ye Qingxuan's body.

He gathered his spiritual power and it flowed through the three dragon meridians like a giant dragon, charging toward the fourth.

Dong!

A muffled sound rang out as the huge dragon collided with a stone wall, utterly defeated. Ye Qingxuan was unwilling to give up. He urged his spirit energy and the fourth dragon vein finally shook a bit.

Several times in a row, the dragon fountain became more and more relaxed, and Ye Qingxuan was also exhausted.

"It looks like a Bone Tempering Pill is unable to open my fourth dragon meridian." Ye Qingxuan murmured. He stared at the sky, the sun was in the middle of the sky, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

When he walked out of the room, Ye Qingyu had finished cooking and was quietly waiting.

After the meal, Ye Qingxuan returned to his room to cultivate.

"This time, I must break through the fourth dragon vein!"

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and swallowed the last Bone Tempering Pellet. A surge of boundless energy erupted as the sound of a huge drum reverberated throughout his body.

The Dragon and Elephant's Heavenly Arts circulated, drawing spiritual energy into the dantian and transforming it into strands of spiritual energy. Not long after, Ye Qingxuan's dantian's spirit energy reached its peak.

"Open!"

Ye Qingxuan gathered his spirit energy and let out a dragon's roar. His fourth dragon vein began to tremble violently. A crack appeared on his indestructible meridians.

Holding his breath, he channeled his spirit energy to attack it again.

After a full twelve tries, his fourth dragon meridian finally opened. A dense amount of spirit energy poured into his body as Ye Qingxuan's aura surged. He had reached the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Stage!

He was panting and sweating.

Breaking through the fourth dragon vein exhausted his energy. He laid on the bed and mumbled to himself, "Breaking through the nine dragon meridians and using the dragon's power to knock open the profound entrances of heaven and earth would take at least three months, it's too slow."

If someone were to hear Ye Qingxuan's words, they would be utterly humiliated.

Even if it was a Spirit Body, it would still take half a year to cultivate from a mortal to the ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm. Unless there was a heavenly treasure, who else would be able to advance to the Transcending Mortality Stage in three months?

Ye Qingxuan stood up, stretching his muscles and bones. Crackling sounds came from his bones, and not only that, but his body also grew several inches taller, making him look even more heroic and valiant.

"Now that I have strength, I must learn martial arts or else I will not be able to unleash my full strength."

Power was the source, while martial arts were the gateway. Only martial arts could fully display the power of the Dragon Elephant Realm. Ye Qingxuan frowned, his brows furrowed in worry.

Martial arts were a side branch of divine ability that had evolved. Martial arts could be seen everywhere. However, Ye Qingxuan had been banned from cultivating and had no way to enter the Ye Clan's Divine Abilities Pavilion.

Not only that, he was practically penniless. Without money, he would definitely not be able to buy any martial arts.

"Perhaps, I can only go to the Mang Gu Mountain Range to hunt for berserk beasts."

In the Mighty Mountain Range, ferocious beasts ran rampant. If Ye Qingxuan hadn't been forced to do so, she would have never set foot inside.

"Where is Ye Qingxuan?"

At this time, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded out from outside the small courtyard. Two young martial artists with tyrannical auras rushed into the courtyard, their expressions fiendish.

The two of them wore black robes with gold threads embedded within the cuffs. On their chests, there was even a small sword with golden cloud patterns embroidered on it, and their faces were dignified.

"Law Enforcement Hall?" Ye Qingyu was shocked, "May I know why the two sirs are looking for my Young Master?"

"Does the Law Enforcement Hall need to report to a servant like you?" A young man scolded.

"Don't be rude to my sister!"

Ye Qingxuan stepped out of the room, his gaze ice-cold. When he had heavily injured Ye Yun, he had already expected such a situation to occur, and thus he was not afraid in the slightest.

"Ye Qingxuan, how dare you go against the clan rules and train on your own. Come with me to the Law Enforcement Hall quickly!" The two young men shouted in unison.

The voice was like the simultaneous cries of tigers and leopards. Ye Qingxuan's ears were ringing, and in an instant, his gaze turned lifeless.

"Young master!" Ye Qingyu was extremely worried.

"No need to attack me, I'll go with you!" Ye Qingxuan said indifferently.

The two of them coldly snorted as they escorted Ye Qingxuan away.

"Grandfather Qing He, only you can save him!" After Ye Qingxuan and the other two left, Ye Qingyu also rushed out of the courtyard and headed deeper into the Ye residence.
