After the disturbance, everyone’s focus was diverted and forgot all about that matter. Now that Liu An brought it up again, everyone came to a realization and once again looked towards Ye Yuan with contempt in their eyes.
Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, “Actually, a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python is a mutation of a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. It’s just that a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python is more common, while a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python is much rarer. Snakes belong to the yin attribute. Thus, the majority of snake species possesses yin poison. However, there is a minority which mutated to have yang attribute. It happens to be that the one you encountered was this. Appearance wise, a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python doesn’t differ much from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. However, it’s known as the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python because there’s a seven-colored flower on its seven inches thick skin.”
“This demonic beast has a huge frame. When this Warrior was facing it, there was no way of spotting that seven-colored flower. Naturally, this means that he couldn’t differentiate between a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python and Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. It’s just that these two demonic beasts, one possesses yin poison while the other yang poison. If we used the prescription intended for yin poison to detoxify yang poison, we would actually be harming this warrior.”
Ye Yuan finished talking while Qian Miao started frowning.
What Ye Yuan said sounded plausible, with virtually no flaws. If this brawny man were genuinely suffering from a Yang poison, then this treatment method would really harm him.
However, he could not comprehend how Ye Yuan came up with this diagnosis. How could Ye Yuan possibly know a demonic beast that he himself had never even heard of before? Even if he knew about this demonic beast, how had he found out the poison inflicted on this brawny man was different from the venom of Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python?
“Humph! Even if it existed this so-called Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python that you spoke of, why are the symptoms of his poisoning exactly the same as the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python?” Qian Miao asked coldly.
Ye Yuan smiled and replied, “What’s so unusual about that? A Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python and a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python both came from a common ancestor. Naturally, after being poisoned, the symptoms are almost similar, but not the same. This warrior, try pressing down on the spot seven inches below your armpit.”
The brawny man was at a loss on what he should do. Seeing Qian Miao nodded his head, he then measured the mentioned range of seven inches below his armpit and pressed down the spot.
There was not much force, but a pained expression immediately appeared on his face. Following which, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
As the blood splattered on the ground, a foul stench assaulted their noses. Seeing how it made people feel dizzy, it was clear it contained a deadly poison.
“This . . .” Qian Miao was astonished. Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison was not uncommon; hence, he was able to identify it after a brief diagnosis. But according to what he knew, Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison would absolutely not have such a situation occur.
Although a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison is potent, it is far from being this overbearing.
Ye Yuan frowned slightly and ordered the attendants, “Men, come and clean this place.”
If it were in the past, most likely no one would heed his order. But looking at the current situation happening in front of their eyes, two servants immediately came forth and started cleaning.
These two servants were clearly used to doing such things. Soon enough, no sign of blood could be seen on the ground.
Qian Miao’s facial expression kept changing before finally taking in a deep breath and said, “Yuan-er, in your opinion, how should the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python’s poison be treated?”
By saying this, it was equivalent to acknowledging his misdiagnosis earlier. It was just that in front of so many people, there was naturally no way he would apologize to a junior. Hence, his words were more subtle with implicit meaning.
Furthermore, the way he addressed Ye Yuan also had changed. Calling him with Yuan-er seemed much intimate now. Of course, with his status, Qian Miao could certainly address him as Yuan-er.
Even so, these words caused a stir in the crowd.
“Yin poison has to be treated with yang means. Yang poison naturally has to be treated with yin means. Uncle Qian has a deep understanding towards medicines. The prescription just now didn’t actually have major mistakes. You just have to swap yang attribute medicines with yin attribute ones. That will do. Green Flow Grass and Vermillion Soul Sand are neutral medicines. But Ironwind Eagle belongs under yang attribute. Furthermore, eagle subdues snake. If it were the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison, this medicine would be the best. Right now, we just have to swap the Ironwind Eagle’s inner core with a Lightning Ferret’s inner core, and that should solve this problem. A Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python’s poison burns more fiercely. So it is best to add some Extreme Yin Datura.”
Ye Yuan talked as if he already had a well-thought-out plan. But most importantly, everything he said was reasonable and well-founded. As long as the person understood medicine, there would be no way to refute his words at all.
Lu-er looked at the Young Master and felt that he was simply too handsome today.
“Mas-Master Qian, i-is it true what he just said?” the brawny man asked hesitatingly.
Qian Miao took one look at the brawny man, shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Honestly, even I’m not so sure now. But looking at the poisonous blood you spat out just now, what you are inflicted with, indeed, doesn’t look like a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison.”
“Bu-But will the method he said work? What if I die from his treatment?”
It was not that the brawny man did not have faith in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. It was just Ye Yuan’s former reputation was too rotten. This prejudice left him unable to trust Ye Yuan at all.
His body’s poison as diagnosed by Ye Yuan was only the latter’s claim. Nobody could determine whether it’s real or bogus. How could he be confident?
Qian Miao forced a smile and said, “I don’t know either. But I feel that his method is worth a shot. What do you think?”
“What are you still standing there for? Quickly grab the materials! Do you want the patient to die from the poison?”
At this moment, a thunderous voice roared in everyone’s ears. The crowd looked toward the door and saw a rough-looking man walked in swiftly.
“Understood, Family Head.” The attendant standing beside Qian Miao saw who it was and immediately responded and left.
That man was Ye Hang.
“Father.”
“Family Head.”
Ye Yuan and Qian Miao greeted Ye Hang at the same time.
Ye Hang stopped in front of Ye Yuan and nodded his head lightly. With approval and relief being apparent in his eyes, Ye Hang said, “Looks like your personality changed for real this time. To have finished reading all those books I left you during this period, you really did diligently studied the Dao of Alchemy. Not bad.”
Without waiting for Ye Yuan’s reply, he turned and said to the brawny man, “Little Brother, my son is right. You are truly inflicted with a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python’s poison and not a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python’s poison. This type of demonic beast is extremely uncommon which led to Old Qian being unable to identify it. I apologize for that. However, the prescription my son issued isn’t wrong either; just drink it and see. If something happened, my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would take full responsibility. What do you think?”
Ye Hang had a very distinguished identity in the entire State of Qin. Usually, it was impossible to see him here; let alone request for him to treat you. Today, he personally guaranteed it. What reason was there left for the brawny man to hesitate?
Looks like even t
hough the Ye Family’s Young Master might be incompetent, it was in no way as exaggerated as the rumors outside. At least he had some real capabilities.

In a courtyard at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.
Ye Hang was currently glaring at Ye Yuan.
“Stinky brat, tell me honestly, how did you identify it?”
Ye Yuan looked helplessly at his father and replied, “A wild guess.”
“Hmph! I was nearly hoodwinked by you yesterday. Looks like you really are different than in the past. What Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python. I’ve never heard of it before this too. Just now, even if I personally diagnosed him, I’m afraid the results would be the same as with Old Qian.”
Thinking of it now, Ye Hang was a little fearful after that episode. If it was not for his son’s stroke of genius, the golden signboard of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would be ruined today.
That brawny-looking man already drank the medicine, and he got better. He was eternally grateful to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and Ye Yuan. What was supposed to be a disaster, became a good thing because of the anomaly, Ye Yuan.
In fact, what could be foreseen after today was that the prestige of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would soar even higher among the demonic beast hunters. The benefits involved would be immense.
“What? Even Lord Father doesn’t know about this? I thought that with your attainments in the Alchemy Dao, treating this sort of poison would be a piece of cake.” Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised.
“A piece of cake? Hehehe. Naturally, within this tiny State of Qin, I have some status. But outside of the State of Qin, I, your father, am nothing. What Alchemy Grandmaster? It’s merely just crossing the threshold of the great path of Alchemy. The State of Qin is a well, and I am a frog in that well. It’s just that I am a slightly larger frog. There are too many things I don’t understand.”
Ye Hang suddenly started to mock himself, looking a little desolate, which made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised. In his predecessor’s memory, his father, Ye Hang, was a man of indomitable spirit, as if nothing could bring him down. He had never seen his father reveal such an expression before.
Ye Yuan could feel that Ye Hang displayed this side of him because he felt that his son had grown up and was more sensible now. So he felt like a heavy load had lifted off his shoulders, which was why his tightly wound nerves finally relaxed.
Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart. His father most likely had his heart crushed over these years for his son. It was just that he never showed it in front of his son.
Ye Yuan once again thought of his past life’s father, Zhengyang Zi, and felt a multitude of feelings surge up. He could not bear to mock Ye Hang anymore, so he opened his mouth and said, “Father, I know what you want to ask. Actually, I also don’t know what’s going on. This time around when I got poisoned and was on the verge of death, I met an expert in a dream. He imparted to me both martial and alchemy techniques which were exceedingly profound. Initially, I thought it was just a dream, but after waking up, I discovered that I remembered clearly what happened in the dream. Furthermore, I could completely do it in reality. If it wasn’t for that expert, with Father’s means, you probably wouldn’t see me again.”
Ye Yuan could not possibly tell Ye Hang that his son’s body had already been occupied by another soul. So he had no choice but to fabricate a white lie which was close to the truth.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Ye Hang could not help but become ecstatic. To think an expert took fancy of his son and imparted profound techniques in his dreams. This was a completely inconceivable thought for him. With such an expert for a master, the massive boulder that had been pressing on Ye Hang’s heart was finally lifted.
“T-That expert, did he say who he was? He saved my son’s life. As a father, I’ve got to at least thank him.”
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “That expert didn’t reveal his name, neither did he say why he saved me. He just said to properly comprehend the skills he imparted to me. When the time comes, he will naturally look for me again.”
“So that’s the case . . . Then the next time you see him, you must definitely give thanks to him on Father’s behalf,” Ye Hang said with regret.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Of course. Father, I still have some matters on hand, so I will take my leave first.”
A moment later, Ye Yuan arrived at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion once more and said to the shopkeeper, “In a while, if someone looks for me, let him come to the manor at the east of the city. Additionally, here is a prescription. Help me prepare the medicines.”
. . . . . .
Presently, Liu An was quite pleased with himself, while also feeling a little dejected.
He was pleased because Ye Yuan that brat was indeed a fool. To actually give a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill to someone with both hands. That Heart Protecting Pill’s effects seemed to be exceptionally good. Currently, not only were his injuries healed, there was even a faint sign of breaking through after his injuries recovered.
He had already been stuck at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm for many years, and yet he could never seem to touch the threshold of the Ninth Level. Liu An was prepared to first temporarily put aside his duties for the Drunken Star Manor so that he could attempt to impact through the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm with full force.
What made him dejected was that Drunken Star Manor’s scheme to redirect the troubled waters had failed. And it actually failed due to a silkpants.
No matter how Liu An thought of the incident, he just could not figure out how a silkpants was able to identify and treat a poison which even the Manor Lord of the Drunken Star Manor, Wan Donghai, could not handle.
This Wan Donghai was an existence on the same level as Ye Hang. His attainments in the Alchemy Dao even faintly surpassed Ye Hang. How could the ignorant and incompetent son of Ye Hang possibly have survived through that situation?
And yet, the situation happened like that right under his eyes. Currently, Liu An had a headache thinking about how he should account to the Manor Lord.
Therefore, Liu An did not even believe that the brawny-looking man was treated by Ye Yuan, but instead, it was Ye Hang who took action behind the scene. Ye Yuan was just a chess piece which Ye Hang pushed out into the open.
‘ Looks like this Ye Hang is very shrewd. When I return, I have to warn the Manor Lord to be on guard. ‘
While Liu An was thinking as he walked, he suddenly discovered something wrong. The area underneath his nostrils was a little wet. Reaching out to touch it, he jumped in fright when he saw that his hands were covered in fresh blood.
Overly heaty? What kind of joke was this? He was an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist. How could he possibly have a nosebleed because his body was heaty?
Somehow, he suddenly recalled Ye Yuan’s sincere smiling face, and he shuddered uncontrollably.
Immediately, he shook his head and rejected that thought. He, Liu An, was not some rookie. Even though he was not at a high level like Qian Miao, he was still capable of identifying between a fake and a genuine medicine. That medicinal pill was absolutely a Heart Protecting Pill; furthermore, it was a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill.
Definitely too heaty.
Liu An consoled himself in this manner, but he quickly discovered that he was too naive.
Not long after, blood then flowed from his two eyes, followed by his ears, and finally, he directly coughed up a large mouthful of blood. His internal organs felt like it caught fire, and his viscera was ablaze right now.
At this moment, he could confirm that he was indeed poisoned.
Liu An could also be considered someone who frequently walked along the borders of life and death. But the more so, the more he was terrified of dying. Right now, his entire person felt a chill as if frozen. He had never experienced the despair he was feeling right now even back when he faced powerful demonic
beasts.
At this moment, Liu An only had one thought, which was to survive. He sprinted desperately towards the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. There was not much time left for him.
. . . . . .
The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s shopkeeper was shocked by this person bleeding from his seven orifices. He did not care about anything and just grabbed onto his sleeve after entering, requesting to meet Young Master Ye.
The shopkeeper was taken aback and did not react in time. Suddenly, he recalled what the young master instructed before leaving, so he told the address to this blood-covered person in front of him.
After that person left, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled. “This person is really weird. Already like that, and yet he didn’t look for Master Qian, but Young Master instead. For what? Unless Young Master knows how to treat diseases?”
Everyone, including initially Liu An, thought that the brawny-looking man being saved today could not possibly have anything to do with Ye Yuan.

In the alchemy room at the east side of Ye Hang’s manor.
Lu-er stared wide-eyed, amazed at the smooth black medicinal pill in Ye Yuan’s hands.
“Wah! Young Master, when did you become so amazing?”
Ye Yuan smiled and pinched Lu-er’s delicate pink nose. He then grumpily replied, “Since when your young master isn’t amazing?”
Originally intended as a joke, who knew Lu-er actually seriously pondered awhile before nodding. “Oh, in the past, people always talked bad about Young Master. I don’t know why, but I’ve always thought of Young Master as a good person. It’s just that now Young Master is even more impressive. Right, what does this pill do?”
One day after transmigrating, Lu-er already became the closest person to Ye Yuan. Without hiding anything, Ye Yuan explained, “It’s poison, a very potent one.”
Lu-er seemingly frightened by this and asked, “Ah? Why did Young Master refine something like this?”
