Even if he reduced quite a bit of tax, he was also an out-and-out nouveau riche. Purchasing these spirit medicines was naturally not difficult.
Within this Hundred Herb Gathering, quite a few people were all exchanging for medicinal pills. Pill refining rooms were naturally equipped.
Ye Yuan gathered the spirit medicines and rented a pill refining room and started refining the pill.
Outside the pill refining room, a group of people surrounded there, clamoring to get a word in.
“This boy really went to refine pills! These spirit medicines that he bought, he probably spent no less than a million middle-grade divine essence stones, right?”
“Goodness gracious! Don’t look at how this brat is young; he’s really a wealthy guy!”
“Heh, reckon that he’s a wastrel! Just the likes of him also want to refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?”
Chapter 1919. Where's Your Family's Grown-Up |
“Came out! This boy came out!”
“Just how long has it been, he’s already done refining?”
“Refine my ass! It’s naturally a failure! Just this short while can refine a level nine difficulty medicinal pill?”
…
The moment Ye Yuan came out, it immediately caused a commotion.
He came out too quickly, using only less than four hours.
Logically speaking, the higher the difficulty of the medicinal pill, the more troublesome it was to refine.
Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill this kind of medicinal pill, the time expended would naturally be longer.
Even for a master like Chen Chang, spending eight to ten hours, 12 to 14 hours was a normal occurrence.
Ye Yuan entered the pill refining room for less than four hours from start to finish, what could he refine?
Did he really take level nine difficulty medicinal pills to be cabbages on the streets; anyhow refined?
Toward these meddlesome people, Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered with them.
He divided the crowd as he walked right over toward the stall of that middle-aged man in the felt hat.
When everyone saw this scene, they could not help having stunned faces.
This kid really went?
Asking for trouble?
“Mn? This kid can get back so quickly?” A large group of people pouring over naturally attracted the attention of Chen Chang and the middle-aged man in the felt hat.
After Ye Yuan left, he hounded the middle-aged man in the felt hat and prattled for a long time. But the middle-aged man in the felt hat did not commit himself until success was certain and insisted on seeing the divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill before he was willing to let it go.
Seeing Ye Yuan come over, Chen Chang said huffily, “Stinking brat, you really dared to come! Don’t tell me that you already refined a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill in this short while!”
When the middle-aged man in the felt hat looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes revealed an impatient look but did not speak.
“That’s of course! Otherwise, would I, a junior, really dare to make fun of you two?” Ye Yuan smiled and said.
As he said, Ye Yuan took out a small bottle with a seal and threw it to the middle-aged man in the felt hat.
The middle-aged man in the felt hat received it and took a look, his expression immediately changed.
Not just him, the expression on Chen Chang’s face also became serious.
Through the small bottle, one could see that the color of the medicinal pill was extremely pretty, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Needless to say, the quality of this medicinal pill must be very high.
The middle-aged man in the felt hat sunk a wisp of divine sense into the small bottle, the expression on his face became more and more shocked.
Following that, it was a look of wild elation.
Looking at the color was one thing, whether or not it was really a divine-grade medicinal pill still needed to be tested.
Everyone stared at the middle-aged man in the felt hat, his expression infected the people around him, making everyone’s faces likewise becoming shocked.
Could it be that inside this small bottle was really a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?
Ye Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in the felt hat quietly and did not say anything.
With his present strength, even refining a vast spirit Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was a cinch, let alone talk about a purple spirit divine pill.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the felt hat lightly pushed the jade box containing the Earth Qilin, pushing it in front of Ye Yuan, and said, “This Earth Qilin is yours! The quality of the medicinal pill is even better than I imagined. If you need any other compensation, feel free to open your mouth.”
One sentence shocked everyone!
“I-It’s really a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?”
“My eyesight must be failing! Could it be that this brat’s Alchemy Dao strength is even stronger than Master Chen Chang’s?”
…
Master Chen Chang pushed for half a day here and this middle-aged man in the felt hat refused to loosen up.
Now, he actually gave the Earth Qilin to this young man just like that!
The impact that this scene brought to everyone was too intense.
In great imperial capitals, divine-grade medicinal pills were not rare. But divine-grade level nine medicinal pills, that was seldom-seen.
The difficulty of level nine medicinal pills, it could be said that each one was as hard as ascending to the heavens!
Heaven-grade was easy to encounter, divine-grade was hard to find!
But now, Ye Yuan took out a divine-grade level nine medicinal pill, how could they not be shocked?
Plus, there was Chen Chang, this master for comparison by the side, this shock became even more intense.
Ye Yuan reached his hand out to take the Earth Qilin, but he heard Chen Chang shout loudly, “Hold on!”
The middle-aged man in the felt hat frowned and said, “Master, now that the transaction is done, could it be that Master wants to wreck the deal?”
In the Hundred Herb Gathering, the transaction of things was given by one and accepted by another.
Ruining deals here was a very serious crime. Even for an existence like Chen Chang, he could not bear it too.
Chen Chang did not answer. Reaching his hand out towards the middle-aged man in the felt hat, he said, “Let me take a look at the medicinal pill.”
The middle-aged man in the felt hat hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still passed the small bottle over.
He was not worried about Chen Chang destroying the medicinal pill, because he could not bear the consequences.
Chen Chang received the small bottle and also sunk a wisp of divine sense inside.
Very soon, the expression on his face became complicated and astonished, just like the middle-aged man in felt hat earlier.
“Brat, where’s your family’s grown-up?” Chen Chang asked Ye Yuan with a solemn look.
“Grown-up?” Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that.
“Stop feigning ignorance! Looking at your bone age, you absolutely won’t exceed 2000 years old. If you can refine an Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill that infinitely approaches vast spirit divine-grade at your tiny age, wouldn’t this old man’s many years have been in vain?” Chen Chang said.
Hearing this, the surrounding people all revealed a look of sudden realization.
Yeah!
This boy must have come from some great alchemy family. There must be an extremely formidable high-level alchemy god behind him.
That high-level alchemy god’s strength was at least by no means inferior to Master Chen Chang. He might be even more powerful than him.
Otherwise, Master Chen Chang also would not take it so seriously.
As for Ye Yuan spending two to four hours to go refine the pill earlier,
that was merely to pull the wool over people’s eyes.
Hearing Chen Chang’s words, Ye Yuan’s face revealed a strange look.
Could it be that his performance was too astonishing?
This Chen Chang actually did not believe that the medicinal pill was refined by him.
If he refined a vast spirit divine pill, would Chen Chang speculate that the powerhouse behind him was Lord Medicine Ancestor?
“This medicinal pill was refined by me,” Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan and said in earnest, “Young man, wanting to become famous is a good thing, but you have to rely on your own ability! With the way you are, even if you really become renowned under the heavens, if other people really came to find you to request for pills, what will you do? Your background isn’t bad, don’t harm yourself!”
Clearly, Chen Chang did not believe Ye Yuan’s words at all.
Ye Yuan went out and walked one round, and only spent less than four hours and then took out a purple spirit divine pills.
In Chen Chang’s view, this was merely Ye Yuan exposing himself unwittingly by trying to cover things up, hoping that others would believe that this medicinal pill was refined by him.
In reality, in his mind, Ye Yuan merely just happened to have a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill on him.
If he came from a powerful alchemy family, carrying a few healing holy medicines on him was all too normal.
It was just that this kind of ‘vanity’ made Chen Chang very disdainful.
By the side, Bai Chen and Ning Tianping seriously could not listen anymore and was just about to refute with a few words but was stopped by Ye Yuan with a hand gesture.
“Master Chen Chang lectured well, this junior has learned my lesson. However, my family’s grown-up isn’t following by my side. I’m afraid that I’ll have to disappoint Master,” Ye Yuan said smilingly.
Ye Yuan understood in his heart that no matter how he explained, this old man probably would not believe it, so he could only go along with his words.
Chapter 1920. Obscure Medicinal Pill |
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Chen Chang’s face revealed a hint of pity.
An alchemist capable of refining such a high-quality Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was absolutely an extremely formidable figure.
Reaching his realm, being able to exchange pointers with such a character was much more important than an Earth Qilin.
Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a nod, “Lad, following such a formidable figure, you have to cultivate well! Being able to learn 10%-20% of his abilities is sufficient for you to benefit for life.”
Ye Yuan’s attitude of acknowledging his fault made his impression of Ye Yuan become a little better.
A fault confessed was half-redressed.
It was just that he did not notice how odd the expressions of Bai Chen and Ning Tianping behind Ye Yuan were.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, “Yes, Junior will definitely work doubly hard from today onwards. Then … can this junior put away this Earth Qilin?”
The corners of Chen Chang’s mouth twitched slightly. Waving his hand, he indicated for Ye Yuan to keep it.
This Earth Qilin was too precious. It could not be bought just by having money.
If not obtaining it this time,then no idea when he would have the chance to encounter it again next time.
Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous either, lightly flicking his sleeves, he put away the Earth Qilin.
“Lad, I wonder what’s the name of your family’s grown-up? Where are you from?” Chen Chang clearly did not give up yet, wanting to inquire about Ye Yuan’s background.
It was just that how could Ye Yuan go and make up a background. So he just brushed it off by saying, “Master, my family repeatedly exhorted that I mustn’t reveal my background when traveling outside. Otherwise, I’ll be served with family punishment. I’m really sorry.”
When Chen Chang heard that, he could only heave a sigh with a helpless look, turned around, and left.
The middle-aged man in the felt hat kept the medicinal pill and said to Ye Yuan, “Little Brother, although this middle-age wasn’t personally refined by you, it’s a great help to me. The value of your medicinal pill already far surpassed the Earth Qilin. Whatever conditions that need to be added on, feel free to speak up.”
Originally, the value of a level nine difficulty rank five divine pill naturally far exceeded a rank five spirit medicine.
It was just that an Earth Qilin was too rare. That was how the middle-aged man in the felt hat could hike the price on the spot, using it to exchange for a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill.
Although he was a True God powerhouse, if really made him buy a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, even if he smashed his iron pots and pans to sell as scrap iron, he could not afford it either.
A divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, even Chen Chang could not refine it, it could be imagined how valuable it was.
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, “No need, just a medicinal pill. It doesn’t count as much. Just take it as making a friend.”
The middle-aged man in the felt hat was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so generous,
But thinking about it, he also felt at ease.
With Ye Yuan’s background, he probably completely did not care for that bit of compensation, right?
“Little Brother, I’ll become friends with you! This time, just take it as me owing you a favor. If you need any help from me, Huo Zhen, feel free to open your mouth.” The middle-aged man in the felt hat cupped his fists, turned around, and left.
…
Inside the Hundred Herb Gathering’s pill refining room, Bai Chen and Ning Tianping both had reluctant looks on their faces.
Tong’er hugged Treasure Pig; a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across in his eyes.
“I think that that old punk was clearly looking for a way out, truly preposterous!” Bai Chen said.
“That old man couldn’t refine the medicinal pill himself and yet, he still measured using the yardstick of a petty man, not believing that the medicinal pill was refined by you, what a joke! Ignorant!” Ning Tianping said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Not vying, is vying. Your own strength only belongs to yourself, no need for other people’s recognition. That moment when they witness your power, why would there be a need to provide any explanations?”
Ning Tianping and Bai Chen’s pupils constricted, ruminating over Ye Yuan’s words.
Even Tong’er also looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.
He had lived for a long time and thought that he had long seen through the emptiness of the material world already but discovered that he was actually inferior to a child.
Ye Yuan’s state of mind had long transcended worldliness already. It was also no wonder that he could have his present accomplishments.
Ye Yuan looked at Tong’er and said, “It’s also that you’re lucky, and it’s also considered that my luck is decent. All in all, the spirit medicines are already gathered. This medicinal pill can begin to be refined.”
Tong’er said, “No matter whether it succeeds in refining or not, I owe you a favor!”
To an Empyrean powerhouse, becoming like Tong’er was clearly not reconciled to it.
This feeling of powerlessness, no one would like it.
Even if they gathered the spirit medicines, Tong’er also maintained a conservative attitude toward whether or not Ye Yuan could succeed in the pill refinement.
It was naturally not that Tong’er did not believe in Ye Yuan’s strength. The Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill was indeed not an ordinary medicinal pill; the refining difficulty was tremendous.
Even among level nine difficulty medicinal pills, it was also extremely difficult to refine.
This kind of medicine belonged to the extremely obscure kind. Barely anyone in this world heard
of it before, and no more than a handful of people knew how to refine.
The spirit medicines used in this medicinal pill also belonged to those extremely obscure kinds.
Obscurity represented that the usage was extremely limited.
Never even heard of it before, how to refine it?
This kind of obscure medicinal pill was a huge challenge to every alchemist.
Forget about Ye Yuan, even when Tong’er himself was at his prime, he totally could not refine it as well.
If not for Ye Yuan reaching grand completion Dao Realm, he also would not request for Ye Yuan to refine this medicinal pill.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “You guys wait in the outer-room. I need to go into seclusion for a few days to understand the medicinal properties of these spirit medicines. After all, there’s no second chance.”
When the few people arrived in the outer-room, Tong’er’s expression suddenly became nervous.
“Lord Tong’er, my lord taking action, what are you still worried about? Since I started following him, I’ve never seen a medicinal pill that he can’t refine!” Seeing Tong’er’s nervous look, Ning Tianping found it rather funny as he said.
Tong’er rolled his eyes and said huffily, “What the hell do you know!”
The weight of the Earth Qilin was only sufficient for Ye Yuan to refine once, there was no opportunity for a second attempt.
Hence, Ye Yuan was extremely prudent as well.
Tong’er understood the difficulty of refining. He naturally understood it even more so than the others.
Being able to refine the level nine difficulty Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill did not mean being able to refine the similar difficulty Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill.
Pill refinement was another form of cultivation.
If say comprehending alchemy was inner-strength, then an understanding of pharmacology was external-strength[1].
Only by cultivating inner and external together that one could achieve a high-quality medicinal pill.
But the chances of Ironwood Ash, Blackheart Seaweed, Earth Qilin, these spirit medicines appearing, was far too low.
Ye Yuan only had one chance. To what degree he could refine the medicinal pill, that would be determined on to what degree he could understand these spirit medicines.
