Chapter 154 – Just one step, shattering the void

So when faced with Ye Qingyu's question, Meng Fan could only shake his head and say he hadn't heard of it.

Even if he wanted to be polite and pretend he had heard of it, there was no way he could.

"You've never heard of the famous Sword Immortal of Alchemy?" Ye Qingyu looked at Meng Fan in shock.

Meng Fan could only smile wryly.

Judging by Ye Qingyu's reaction, this Sword Immortal of Alchemy must be quite renowned, and it seemed he was just ignorant.

"Senior Sister Ye mentioned this Sword Immortal of Alchemy. I wonder what this favor you need has to do with him?" Meng Fan asked Ye Qingyu, trying to change the subject.

Ye Qingyu said, "Sword Immortal of Alchemy, Ye Lingyun, was a figure who roamed the world eight hundred years ago, almost breaking through the void to ascend as a True Immortal.

Unfortunately, he failed to take that final step and fell under the thunder tribulation, unable to cross the tribulation successfully!

This Sword Immortal of Alchemy, Ye Lingyun, as his name suggests, was unparalleled in both alchemy and swordsmanship. Not only was his alchemy shocking, but his sword technique was also transcendent and invincible in his time."

Meng Fan nodded and continued to look at Ye Qingyu without speaking.

After introducing the glorious deeds of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy, Ye Qingyu should get to the main point.

To Meng Fan, what Ye Qingyu just said was all nonsense and not important at all.

No matter how powerful this Sword Immortal of Alchemy was, it had nothing to do with him.

What Ye Qingyu said next should be something related to him.

"Actually, this Sword Immortal of Alchemy, Ye Lingyun, is the ancestor of my Ye family. My talent in alchemy might be inherited from the bloodline of the ancestor," Ye Qingyu continued.

Meng Fan's expression remained calm. This news could be considered quite significant, but he had already guessed it, so he wasn't too excited.

Ye Lingyun, Ye Qingyu, both had the surname Ye.

When Ye Qingyu mentioned the name of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy, Ye Lingyun, Meng Fan had already guessed it.

"So, the favor you want to ask me is related to your ancestor?" Meng Fan asked Ye Qingyu.

"Exactly." Ye Qingyu nodded.

"Specifically? Get to the point!" Meng Fan said impatiently.

Ye Qingyu seemed to have said a lot just now, but none of it was the main point.

"The ancestor actually left a legacy, but it is guarded by a sword formation. Our Ye family descendants have been unable to break this sword formation for hundreds of years," Ye Qingyu said helplessly.

Meng Fan shook his head, "That's too troublesome!"

Originally, he thought if it was something he could help with easily, he wouldn't refuse and would agree directly.

But this matter required him to leave Shu Mountain, such a grand formation, time-consuming and laborious, it wasn't worth it.

If that was the case, he might as well pay Ye Qingyu two hundred Spirit Stones.

He hated trouble!

"Senior Brother Meng, you may not understand the opportunity and fortune within this.

If you can break the sword formation, you will obtain part of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's legacy!

Although the Sword Immortal of Alchemy is just a title and he didn't reach the realm of a true Sword Immortal, he was one of the top experts in the world.

Obtaining his legacy, you will benefit immensely, and success will come easily."

Meng Fan smiled, not buying into such grand promises.

"Senior Sister Ye, what you say sounds wonderful and very enticing. But even if, as you say, I successfully break the sword formation, the legacy is still your Ye family's. What does it have to do with me?"

In that situation, Meng Fan, in the Ye family's territory, had no right to compete with the Ye family.

How could the Ye family possibly hand over their legacy to an outsider?

And he alone couldn't possibly contend with the entire Ye family!

Ye Qingyu shook her head, "Senior Brother Meng, you still don't understand. Actually, the sword formation itself is the most important part of the legacy.

If you can break the sword formation and pass the ancestor's test, you will have already obtained the legacy of the sword formation!

By then, you will have already gained this part of the legacy, and even if my Ye family wanted to take it, we couldn't."

Meng Fan frowned, honestly a bit tempted.

But more than that, he was cautious!

"Even if, as you say, what if your Ye family wants to kill me to silence me, or torture me for information?" Meng Fan looked into Ye Qingyu's eyes and said calmly.

This wasn't baseless worry, as it was a very normal occurrence.

In the cultivation world, the weak are prey to the strong, and those without a ruthless heart and a sharp blade have long been eliminated.

Ye Qingyu smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Meng, are you underestimating the Shu Mountain Sword Sect or overestimating my Ye family? How could a small Ye family dare to harm a disciple of Shu Mountain? Moreover, someone like you, a chosen of Shu Mountain?"
