He knew that if he did not let them take a look at Master Ye’s strength, they would not give up.
…
After reaching the residence, Ye Yuan studied the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art.
This cultivation method was indeed incomparably powerful. If he could cultivate the Human Path chapter to the realm of Tier 9 great circle of perfection, it was virtually impervious to blades and swords.
Unless it was the Ten Great Divine Kings, that kind of powerhouses who grasped Divine Dao laws, even if he stood there and did not move, ordinary martial artists probably could not even breach his defenses.
The black tortoise clan’s defensive prowess was indeed powerful until it made people despair.
It was just that this cultivation method was not easy to cultivate.
Even if Ye Yuan’s horizons were exceedingly broad and his foundation was exceptionally good, he could only cultivate to the fifth level too. There was still a very great distance away from the ninth level.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds interrupted Ye Yuan’s thoughts.
Ye Yuan’s brows knitted together. Clearly, he was very displeased towards this sort of interruption.
Opening the door to take a look, it was a merfolk clan’s little girl.
Different from the merfolk clan’s men’s hideousness, this clan’s women were all beautiful like celestials. They were even more beautiful than the vast majority of human girls.
This young lady in front of him was precisely the girl that Shark One arranged to be in charge of his daily life and accommodations, called Lian Qiu.
Toward this little girl, Ye Yuan was still very satisfied. She was beautiful, obedient, and very sensible.
He instructed her not to come and disturb. Could it be that something happened?
Ye Yuan had yet to figure out what was happening and was dragged out by Lian Qiu. As she ran, she explained, “Your Excellency, quickly go! High Priest Li heard that His Majesty invited a human alchemist over and is greatly enraged, and is already rushing over here! High Priest Li’s Martial Dao’s cultivation is extremely formidable. Furthermore, his temper is very bad. I’m afraid that he will hurt you. Hurry up and leave from the back-door!”
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled.
He did not expect that this little servant girl was actually still so concerned about him.
Ye Yuan’s figure stopped. How could Lian Qiu be Ye Yuan’s match? With a bounce, she actually bumped into Ye Yuan’s embrace.
A masculine figure hit her head-on, making Lian Qiu involuntarily flush bright red.
Ye Yuan asked with a smile, “I’m just a human, so why do you want to help me?”
Lian Qiu used pure eyes to look at Ye Yuan and said in puzzlement, “I … Lord Shark One made me take care of you. I … I naturally can’t let anything happen to you!”
Talking up to here, she suddenly came back to her senses, dragging Ye Yuan’s hand and was about to go, saying anxiously, “Oh no, Your Excellency, there’s no time, quickly leave! High Priest Li is going to reach soon!”
But Ye Yuan was unwilling to go and said with a faint smile, “Huhu, if I can’t even best your clan’s high priest, do you think that Shark One will invite me back? Relax. On account of your face, I won’t fuss over trifles with him”
The moment Lian Qiu heard, she was dumbstruck.
Not fuss over trifles with the high priest?
In her eyes, the high priest was a paramount existence, second only to His Majesty.
But this young man before her eyes looked to be merely 30 plus years of age no matter how one looked.
What right did he have to say such raving words?
But Lian Qiu also felt that what Ye Yuan said was very reasonable.
If Lord Shark One felt that Ye Yuan was inferior to the high priest, why would he invite him back?
Just as Lian Qiu was wavering hesitantly, High Priest Li rushed over in great haste.
Chapter 1153. On-the-Spot Teaching |
“Where’s the human alchemist?”
“Where’s the human alchemist? Quickly get out here for this seat!”
A boorish, loud voice shook until the building was about to collapse.
“Stop shouting, I’m here.”
Ye Yuan’s figure slowly walked out, while Lian Qiu followed behind him carefully, her eyes filled with worry.
When Li saw Ye Yuan, his gaze was filled with disdain.
“Did Shark One that brat lose his head? Finding a brat like you over, is this making fun of our merfolk clan? This seat already came to an agreement with His Majesty and was going to help Xun-er refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill. Is Shark One this punk finding trouble?”
Li’s voice was like a resounding bell, shocking until people’s eardrums hurt.
This appearance did not look like a person who did pill refinement, this kind of meticulous work.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “You say making fun, that works too. It’s just that … I wonder if you have enough strength or not to amuse me.”
With Ye Yuan’s perception, he had long detected that there were quite a few people currently spying upon here.
He knew that if he did not bring out a bit of ability, he would really be looked down upon by this bunch of fellows.
Might as well, Ye Yuan would simply teach this old man a good lesson and let the merfolk clan’s people know the terror of his, Ye Yuan’s, Alchemy Dao’s strength.
“You! Age isn’t big, but your tone isn’t small! A brat like you hasn’t even fully grown your hair, and you dare to speak this sort of big talk? Originally, I even thought that Shark One that punk invited some experts. Seeing you, I can’t be bothered to even take action! Brat, take the chance when this seat is in a good mood today, hurry up and scram out of the merfolk clan. Otherwise, you can forget about ever leaving!” Li said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “What? You, as the merfolk clan’s high priest, could it be that you’re still scared of me, this junior?”
Li’s fish eyes glared, and he shouted at the top of his voice, “Scared? You brat, I think you’re tired of living!”
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said coolly, “Not scared, so then let’s have wager. How’s that?”
“Betting with this seat? Brat, this seat wagers your life, do you dare or not?” Li said with a cold smile.
“What’s to not dare? If I lose, take away this life. If you lose, kneel down and give this young master three kowtows, and acknowledge me as your master. How’s that?”
Seeing Ye Yuan’s appearance of cornering him, how could Li still endure it? He barked, “Compete then, would this seat be scared of you, this brat?”
As he said, his fish eyes swiveled, and he said with a cold smile, “Boy, you set up a trap for this seat? Don’t tell me that we’re competing in refining human medicinal pills! The, this seat won’t!”
It was already pretty good for the sea race’s alchemists to be able to refine demonic pills well.
Having them refine human medicinal pills, that was impossible.
Ye Yuan said indifferently, “Compete in demonic pills then! As for the pill formula, you pick it.”
Li’s face turned black. Ye Yuan’s attitude was looking down on him from the start!
As the high priest, how could he endure such triggering?
“Hahaha, what an arrogant boy! Letting this seat choose the pill formula, don’t you regret it!” Li was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan’s attitude.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “There is no regret, this word, in this young master’s dictionary. Just pick the one that you’re best at. To this young master, there’s no difference.”
“Good, arrogant enough! Since you have no idea of life or death, compete in the Demon Whirl Pill then! Don’t blame this seat for bullying you. If you don’t know the pill formula, this old man can give you three days’ time to deduce the pill formula,�
� Li said.
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled. This old man’s temper was a little explosive, but he seemed to be identical as Shark One; his thoughts were very pure. He actually even wanted to give him three days’ time to deduce the pill formula.
However, this Demon Whirl Pill was just a very ordinary Tier 9 demonic pill. It did not count as much. Ye Yuan naturally knew the pill formula.
At once, Ye Yuan said coolly, “No need, begin right now.”
Gong!
Ye Yuan directly brought out the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and started refining.
The Demon Whirl Pill was just an ordinary demonic pill. The spirit medicines it required, Ye Yuan did not lack any inside his storage ring.
He scoured the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden. The spirit medicines in his storage ring were too numerous to count.
As long as it was not overly valuable spirit medicines, he really did not lack.
However, when Li saw this scene, his eyeballs popped out.
Before refining pills, didn’t one need to take a bath and burn incense, meditating to concentrate?
This … What kind of pill refinement was this?
Furthermore, when he came out, he did not bring along the Demon Whirl Pill’s spirit medicines on him. At this time, he could stand at one side blankly, and watch Ye Yuan refine pills.
“Hehe, you all look! This human alchemist is displaying meager skills before an expert in front of the high priest!”
“High Priest is one of the very best alchemists in the entire sea race. This human is merely Seventh Level Dao Profound. Compared to High Priest, he’s far too lacking, right?”
“Isn’t that so! Heard that this is the human alchemist that Lord Shark One invited back, saying to refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill for Young Patriarch. Isn’t this messing around?”
…
At this time, quite a few servants also crowded over.
However, they were clearly not optimistic about Ye Yuan.
They were all not alchemists, but more or less still knew a little about alchemy.
They had never seen before which alchemist would refine pills ‘unprofessionally’ like this in front of everyone.
“Hahaha, ignorant child! Refining pills like this, how is there the logic of forming the pill? Wasted a bunch of Tier 9 spirit medicines in vain!” Li laughed loudly and was full of disdain.
Ye Yuan did not care about him and started refining on his own. His actions were completed from the beginning to the end without stopping.
Soon enough, Li could not laugh anymore.
When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance!
Ye Yuan’s set of alchemy technique was simply too pleasing to the eyes and mind.
Not just the high priest, those servants surrounding and watching could not laugh anymore either.
They were completely brought into a daze with this pill refinement by Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan forcefully turned the dreary pill refinement into a grand banquet of art!
Those who knew the profession, they gleaned considerable benefits. Those who did not know, they had a feast for their eyes.
Li had long tossed the matter of the competition beyond the ninth heavens already. He was already completely absorbed by Ye Yuan’s alchemy skills.
The refinement of demonic pills was not exactly the same as the human race, but all roads led to Rome.
In Ye Yuan’s eyes, there were originally no distinction of whatever human race, demon race.
When researching medicinal pills in his previous life, he had always broken down the medicinal pills to the most primitive make-up to research.
This solid foundation skill was not done in vain.
Alchemy Dao would not be divided into human and demon.
Grasping the true Great Dao, many things were drawing parallels from inferences.
Previous life, Ye Yuan’s researching into demonic pills similarly reached the degree of the acme of perfection.
“Ah? Turns out that when refining the Demon Whirl Pill, I need to reduce the flames’ intensity at this time!”
“Ah! So that’s how it is! Using the complete extinguishing method here to quench the medicinal pill, why didn’t I think of it!”
…
Li was just like a curious baby at this time, contributing emoticons by the side non-stop. How was there still that fierce and awe-inspiring appearance earlier?
Ye Yuan’s alchemy skills brought him into another world.
“Condense!”
Following Ye Yuan’s light cry, only then, did Li came back to his senses from inside the world of pill refinement.
Seeing the transcendent-grade Demon Whirl Pill in Ye Yuan’s hand, Li involuntarily shuddered. Only at this time did he remember the bet.
Chapter 1154. Completely Convinced |
“High Priest, it’s your turn,” Ye Yuan looked at Li and said with a smile that was not a smile.
Li’s face turned red, and he stammered, “This … This … This doesn’t count! The Demon Whirl Pill is merely the simplest Tier 9 demonic pill. Want to compete, let’s compete in high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills!”
This Li actually acted scoundrelly.
“High Priest, the Demon Whirl Pill was suggested personally by yourself. How can you go back on your words?” Lian Qiu said this sentence at the behest of supernatural powers.
This sentence made Li even more embarrassed.
His face turned back, and he glared with his fish eyes as he said fiercely, “Little lass, you dare to say such words to this seat?”
Lian Qiu was frightened by him and instinctively hid behind Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan scoffed, “What? Is it very impressive to put on airs in front of a little girl?”
Li’s expressions alternated between green and purple. Actually, he already admitted defeat in his heart. It was just due to a matter of face that he did not wish to kowtow and acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master in front of so many people.
Letting him refine a transcendent-grade Demon Whirl Pill, if he had pure dumb luck, he could still refine it.
But it was absolutely impossible to be so relaxed and cheerily like Ye Yuan.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said, “Don’t want kowtow and acknowledge as your master, also can. But you have to agree to a condition of mine!”
The moment Li heard this, it was like he was granted amnesty, and he hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, okay! As long as you don’t let this seat kowtow, any conditions will do!”
Ye Yuan pushed Lian Qiu in front of the high priest and said, “Take her in as a disciple!”
Li was stunned, somewhat perplexed by Ye Yuan’s action.
He even thought that Ye Yuan would state some harsh conditions. He did not think it was actually to have him take a servant girl as disciple.
This was a huge favor. He did not expect that Ye Yuan used it up so easily.
It was just that to Lian Qiu, it was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue.
She turned around and looked at Ye Yuan strangely as she muttered, “Y-Your Excellency, I … I …”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “What? You’re not willing?”
Lian Qiu’s head started nodded like a chicken pecking for rice.
Of course she was willing!
In this place, she was merely a servant; she had no resources, no background, fading away into the masses.
But, if she became the high priest’s disciple, that was really the carp leaping over the dragon gate 1 .
“Good that you’re willing. What are you still standing there for? Why haven’t you hurry up and acknowledge as your master?” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Lian Qiu turned around again and look towards Li timidly, fearful that he would not agree.
Li’s face turned back, and he said, “What are you still standing there blankly for? Kowtow and acknowledge me as your master! From this day forth, you’re my, Li’s, final disciple! Uh … what’
s your name called?”
Lian Qiu was overjoyed and knocked her head to the ground and said, “Lian Qiu pays respect to Master!”
Lian Qiu never would have dreamed that she could actually have such a day.
The sea race’s social stratum was stringent. A little servant girl like her absolutely did not have the chance to see daylight.
But now, Lord Ye Yuan, gave her this opportunity, changing her life.
“Haha, good, good disciple! All of you listen up for me, from today onwards, Lian Qiu is my last disciple! If anyone of you were to dare bully her, that’s setting yourselves against this seat! Now, all get lost for this seat!” Li’s expression changed, saying to everyone.
These people were all aware of the high priest’s prowess. How could they still dare to stay? They immediately dispersed in an uproar.
However, those clansmen who had once bullied Lian Qiu before, each and every one of them was alarmed and on tenterhooks at this time, fearful that Lian Qiu would come and find trouble with them.
Lian Qiu was only a little servant girl. There was naturally no lack of people bullying normally.
It was just that they never thought that this little servant would have a 180 degree transformation, becoming the high priest’s disciple.
The high priest’s disciple, in the clan, even some elders could not compare!
Seeing everyone disperse, Li actually changed to a smiling face and said to Linq Qiu, “Haha, good disciple, you go out first. Tomorrow, come and report to master. Right now, I still have matters to discuss with Master Ye.”
Lian Qiu looked at the high priest with a look of surprise, as if feeling like she did not recognize him.
When did the high priest become so amiable and friendly?
However, Lian Qiu still used soliciting eyes to look toward Ye Yuan.
To her, Ye Yuan was her greatest benefactor!
This point, she was deeply aware of it.
Ye Yuan naturally knew what ideas Li had. At once, he smiled and said to Lian Qiu, “You go out first then.”
…
“Lian Qiu, ah, no no no! Lord Lian Qiu, that … The things in the past, it was all me who was blind and didn’t have eyes. Y-Your Excellency, just treat me as a fart and let me go!”
