In fact, the so-called "meteorite" that the alchemists found back then was indeed a genuine extraterrestrial artifact.
This meteorite emits strong radiation. When people stay with this meteorite for a long time, their bodily functions will change due to this radiation. As a result, some people will have keen senses, some will have superhuman strength, and some will be as light as a feather and have extraordinary endurance...
There are also people who possess all of the above abilities and are considered well-rounded, highly skilled pharmacists.
There were only two such people who were tested on drugs: the brother and sister, Yin Lan and Yin Qi, who were the final test subjects.
The reason they possess such powerful abilities is actually quite simple—the meteorite fragments on their bodies are the largest among all the drug users, making them the most severely affected by radiation.
As a result, the other drug users have gradually lost their powers due to the decline of the meteorite's energy, their bodies have returned to normal, or they have even died of natural causes. Although the female protagonist, Yin Lan, is also in the form of an old woman, she can still use certain powers to protect herself and kill all the assassins who came to capture them.
All of this is thanks to meteorites.
At the same time, Yin Qi discovered that as long as more meteorite fragments are collected, their bodies can be reversed again, achieving the effect of rejuvenation.
Simply put, they are all parasites of meteorites. Meteorite fragments are the reason they survive. As soon as the meteorite leaves their bodies, they will age and die immediately. However, if more meteorites enter their bodies, they will not only have a longer lifespan, but also gain stronger superpowers.
Back then, going to heaven and diving into the earth might really have been a simple matter.
Unfortunately, everyone fled in such a hurry that year that the meteorite disappeared without a trace. Yin Qi searched for it secretly for many years without success, so his gaze fell upon the other medicine people—
In the past, many people took pills made from meteorite fragments in order to test medicines. Moreover, there were no powder grinders at that time, so these pills were more like stone residue than medicines.
These fragments, once inside the human body, cannot be excreted naturally.
So as long as he captures these drug-using people, uses instruments to locate the fragments, and then strips the meteorite fragments from their bodies, he can regain immortality and superpowers. This cycle will continue until he finds the complete meteorite, at which point he will truly possess immortality.
However, the people who were once drug users are now scattered in different places and corners. Although they keep in touch from time to time, they have experienced the changes of time and the world. Many of them have long been out of contact and their fate is unknown. Even if Yin Qi uses the network of people and background he has built up over the years, he will not be able to find them all.
Especially in the Dragon Kingdom. In order to avoid Yin Lan and prevent her from discovering what he had done, Yin Qi deliberately avoided this place when developing his power. But in fact, this place has the most medicinal talents. Many people still love and yearn for this land. So, over the long years, most of them still remain in the Dragon Kingdom, living their lives either in a high-profile or low-profile manner.
—Thanks to the technological advancements of this era, Yin Qi was able to easily trace one person's movements and uncover a whole group of people.
But if he wants to quickly lure these people out and gather them together, the best way is to first find a reason to make them panic.
Thus, an evil organization dedicated to immortality emerged.
Yin Qi, as the only one who "escaped back", brought this news and successfully integrated into the circle of drug users that Yin Lan knew as a "survivor". He then joined Yin Lan in searching for and protecting other drug users and fighting against the Longevity Organization together.
Of course, these plot points were only revealed later in the manga.
In the early episodes, many readers perceived Yin Qi as a younger brother who relied heavily on his older sister, was very warm to everyone, and always had a smile on his face.
Although they are much older than the readers' ancestors, thanks to the comic's author, Jiao Dai, the main characters are drawn exceptionally well after regaining their youth using a meteorite. Yin Qi's appearance is that of a young, academic-style college boy, so many readers, along with the female lead, called him "little brother" in the early stages and regarded him as a reliable family member.
To everyone's surprise, this cunning scoundrel had planted such a huge foreshadowing!
This guy killed most of the main characters!
—To be even more precise, he killed many people on the side of the "Longevity Organization". Yin Qi is a heartless bastard!
The structure of the entire comic is actually quite simple. It consists of episodic stories of different main characters. Each volume features a character who is a drug addict, from their past to their present experiences, and then the events that happen after Yin Lan comes to them, telling the story of their choices between life and death and their final fate.
Some people have already achieved great success and are standing in the spotlight. The emergence of the Longevity Organization has aroused their greed. Having seen the glamorous world, they also yearn for immortality. So they decisively betrayed Yin Lan and others and chose to stand with the Longevity Organization. However, they were eventually executed in secret by Yin Qi, who also took away the meteorite fragments.
Some people, though wielding wealth and power, have lost all will to live. With the passing of acquaintances, friends, and even lovers at different stages of their lives, they have completely lost the will to live. They live each day in a daze, without goals or expectations of survival. They crave death more than immortality. Ultimately, Yin Lan and the others failed to save him. While covering their retreat, he willingly gave Yin Lan the meteorite fragments within his body, then perished alongside the enemy.
Some people live in seclusion in the mountains for years, unaware of how many years have passed. Even war has not affected them. However, the Longevity Organization discovered their secrets and tracked them down. Fortunately, Yin Lan and others arrived in time to prevent a tragedy.
As one character after another appears, Yin Lan and her companions witness the different experiences of many people and encounter their insights. The story is filled with passion and tears, as well as reflections on humanity's pursuit of "immortality" and "eternity," and even derivative topics such as "how one should live this life." Many people have different opinions after reading this comic, which has led to its high level of discussion and a wide readership.
Moreover, even though it is told primarily from the perspective of the female protagonist Yin Lan, "Yu Ye" also portrays popular characters of different genders and personalities. Whether you are a male or female reader, you are sure to have one or two favorite characters.
Xiao He was also deeply attracted by the plot and stayed up all night to read the latest chapter ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) of the manga "Yu Ye".
Upon seeing the large words "Updating," Xiao He felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, with nowhere to vent it.
He repeatedly refreshed the page in disbelief, even exiting and reopening the official website to check, just in case Xiao Chen hadn't finished downloading all the content. In the end, the words "Updating" still appeared before his eyes.
Xiao He: !!!
Ugh, it's a serialized comic! Damn it! Author, please update already!!!
