Chapter 1448: Chapter 5: Seven Years (Yeyou Extra)
On his way back to Wang City from the Extreme North Ice Field, Ye You kept thinking about how he needed to diligently practice alchemy upon his return, striving to soon advance to a Level Eight Alchemist, and create a Perfect Level Jade Melting Pill to lift Qin Sisi’s curse and restore her human form.
However, things didn’t go as smoothly as imagined. While they did manage to retake their positions as Sage Ruler and Sage Queen, this position represented not just supreme glory and power, but also a heavy responsibility.
After becoming Sage Ruler again, Ye You was so busy every day that he didn’t even have time to practice magic, let alone alchemy.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. Qin Sisi’s forging skills improved by leaps and bounds, while Ye You’s alchemy skills remained stagnant.
Hard work brings success, but Ye You simply hadn’t had time to practice properly over the past six months, so naturally, his alchemy skills couldn’t make any progress.
Ye You was extremely anxious about this.
Soon it was time for the most grand festival in the Demon Sacred Realm—the Divine Dragon Rising. For this Divine Dragon Rising, Ye You not only invited the other Eight Great Families but also representatives from the magic families of the Four Forbidden Zones.
The Mermaid Tribe from No Delusion Deep Sea, the Elf Clan from the Dark Forest, the Mu Water Clan from the Deep Pupil Desert, and the Snow Demon Tribe from the Extreme North Ice Field, all arranged people to pack up and come to Wang City to participate in the annual Divine Dragon Rising event after receiving Ye You’s invitation.
This was the first time these four families had left the forbidden zones, and it was also the first time the Eight Great Families of the Demon Sacred Realm had seen people from the forbidden zones, and both sides were full of curiosity about each other.
It was an exceptionally grand banquet, where, under the guidance of the Jiuxi Royal Family, the twelve magic families got to know each other and exchange ideas, gaining a deeper understanding of the practice of magic, which elevated the overall magic level of the Demon Sacred Realm by one tier.
From then on, the Demon Sacred Realm achieved perfect unity, officially forming a grand structure in which the Jiuxi Royal Family ruled, assisted by the twelve magic families.
The magic families of the Four Forbidden Zones stayed in Wang City for more than a month, only returning to their respective territories after participating in the Phoenix Singing in Flowery Day festival banquet, agreeing to come back every year to participate in the Divine Dragon Rising and Phoenix Singing in Flowery Day, and to engage in magical exchanges with other families.
Following this banquet, Ye You’s reputation reached a new height; even those who previously had some criticism of him began to look at him with newfound respect. After all, no one had ever conquered the Four Forbidden Zones before.
After sending off the families of the Four Forbidden Zones, Ye You had three days of rest, but he couldn’t bear to use it for rest. He hurriedly took Qin Sisi and boarded the Shadowless Aircraft, heading to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Ye You’s intention was clear: he wanted to utilize the trial tower of Tianyi Mountain to activate the time dilation and make his alchemy practice twice as effective with half the effort.
Although everyone knew that the trial tower of Tianyi Mountain in the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle could activate time dilation, very few people actually used this effect for one simple reason—it was too expensive.
The Demon Sacred Realm had emerged from the flames of the Sage Ruler’s War just a few years ago and hadn’t accumulated much wealth, so Ye You’s main reliance was on the various treasures he had taken from the Ice Snow Palace at the Extreme North Ice Field.
At that time, the Ice Snow Fairy, with a heart as calm as still water, only took away the more important items, leaving the rest to Qin Sisi and Ye You.
The Ice Snow Fairy, a deity who had lived for thousands of years, possessed countless treasures. Even though she took many with her, what was left still opened the eyes of Qin Sisi and Ye You, filling them with joy.
Returning once more to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, Qin Sisi felt a wave of emotion. Some of their classmates from back then had achieved great success, some were no longer alive, and some had disappeared without a trace.
Back then, it had always felt grueling to practice magic skills day after day, but in retrospect, it was actually the simplest and happiest time.
Many teachers at the Heaven Academy had changed, and though the scenery was familiar, the people were not, always giving an impression of change and nostalgia.
Fortunately, Master Yipiao was still there.
They paid Master Yipiao the necessary fee and then entered the glittering trial tower.
They stayed inside for two days, equivalent to two hundred days of unceasing practice. Their aims were simple: Ye You focused on practicing alchemy, and Qin Sisi on forging, with no other aspirations.
When time was up, the two of them were transported out.
Qin Sisi’s face was filled with joy because through this wholehearted practice, she advanced and became a Seventh-level Forgemaster.
