In their hearts, there were already many people who felt that Ye Yuan was indeed talking nonsense.
Luo Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, “According to my knowledge, you were still completely nameless a few months back. But within a few months, you emerged all of a sudden. Could it be that your master only taught you for these few months and left to travel the world so coincidentally right after you arrived at the Tranquil Cloud Sect?”
Luo Qingfeng was clearly very clear about Ye Yuan’s growing up experiences.
Ye Yuan had prepared an excuse long ago. He recounted the lie he contrived to Ye Hang to Luo Qingfeng again.
He actually had motives why he did this.
Even though this imaginary teacher of his that he fabricated was somewhat absurd, as long as the sect believed he existed, that would be Ye Yuan’s greatest protective charm!
The Ouyang Family wanting to deal with Ye Yuan would have to weigh whether they have the abilities first or not.
An existence who could impart skills in a dream and directly imprint knowledge onto the divine soul was not someone that the puny Tranquil Cloud Sect could afford to provoke.
Of course, how to make others believe it was also a problem.
As expected, when Ye Yuan finished talking, Luo Qingfeng raised his suspicions. “It seems like what you’ve said up till now are all some things which can’t be proven. Could it be that you want to use these sort of excuses to prove your innocence?”
Hearing Luo Qingfeng’s questioning, a trace of cold sneer flashed across the corner of Ouyang Ming’s mouth.
He was very doting on Su Yuting. That was why he shielded the Su Family in any way he could and even aided them to usurp the throne.
However, what arrived was the outcome of the Su Family three brothers’ death!
When Su Yuting heard this grievous news, she fainted on the spot. It could be seen just how great the impact this incident had on her.
Ouyang Ming’s heart ached for his beloved wife, so he was naturally unwilling to let Ye Yuan go. That was why he thought of borrowing the help of the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing to authorize Ye Yuan’s death penalty.
He knew that Ye Yuan was a peerless genius who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. The sect would definitely nurture this kind of geniuses heavily. The only opportunity to put him to death was the True Rising Spirit Pill that Ye Yuan took out.
Presently, seeing that Ye Yuan was at the end of his ropes, Ouyang Ming could not help feeling greatly satisfied.
It was very evident that Ye Yuan could not summon that so-called master of his. As long as he could not call him here, he would be unable to convince everyone. The result could only be death!
Ye Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly, “Master went to roam the world. Either way, he can’t be called here. I can’t do anything about it if you all don’t believe me.”
Luo Qingfeng did not indicate anything but asked, “What’s the opinion of the three hall heads?”
Ouyang Yu sucked in a deep breath and said, “Ye Yuan stole the sect pill formulas, and the evidence is conclusive. I recommend sentencing to death!”
Although he also felt that Ye Yuan was a fine seedling, the suspicion of stealing the pill formulas was naturally greater.
Furthermore, Ouyang Ming was Ouyang Yu’s nephew. He knew that Ouyang Ming was deeply in love with Su Yuting, so he obviously had to stand on this side.
Or else, the Ouyang Family would dissolve by themselves!
Ling Potian said, “Utter nonsense! I suggest put him to death!”
Xiao Jian frowned and said, “No way! Not only is Ye Yuan’s soul force powerful, but his martial talent is also even hard to encounter in a thousand years! If such an individual was killed, wouldn’t it aggrieve our own people and gladden the enemy?”
“Xiao Jian! I acknowledge Ye Yuan’s talent. But his background is ambiguous, and he has ulterior motives. Keeping such a person, after his strength becomes formidable in the future, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous?” Ouyang Yu reproved.
“Humph! Ye Yuan is in possession of the Canghua Sword. This means that he obtained Ancestor Lu Yan’s inheritance! Master’s discerning eyes are akin to pearls. He definitely won’t misjudge people! You people are only relying on a single medicinal pill to decide on Ye Yuan’s crime. What proof is there?” Xiao Jian insisted on his viewpoint.
“Ye Yuan and his father are only people of the secular world but took out the True Rising Spirit Pill that our Pill Hall had just developed! Doesn’t this count as proof? Furthermore, he did not just take out the True Rising Spirit Pill. There are another two types of medicinal pills! Could it be that the pill formulas that his master taught him just coincidentally happen to be these three types?”
“This . . .” Xiao Jian could not think of a better explanation either.
It was crystal clear that the present situation was very adverse to Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan were unable to prove that these pill formulas were imparted by his master, he would surely be put to death!
“Since there are two of the three Hall Heads who agreed to sentence Ye Yuan to death, then . . .” Ouyang Ming heard Luo Qingfeng’s words and involuntarily felt wild elation in his heart.
“Hold on!” Luo Qingfeng’s words were interrupted halfway by Ye Yuan.
“What else do you have to say?”
“May I be allowed to look at the pill formula?” Ye Yuan said.
“Ye Yuan! Stop using this sort of method to delay the time! It’s futile! Hasn’t the pill formulas been stolen by you already? Don’t tell me that you still don’t know the True Rising Spirit Pill’s pill formula?” Ouyang Yu said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Hehe, if I can point out the deficiencies in the pill formula that you developed, doesn’t that prove that my pill formula wasn’t stolen?”
“Ye Yuan, are you doubting our Pill Hall’s standards? Are you trying to challenge my entire Pill Hall single-handedly?” Ouyang Yu’s voice turned completely to ice.
A puny little Alchemy Master actually dared to boast so shamelessly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “If Hall Head Ouyang feels this way, then I might as well give it a shot. Uh, I can prove to all of you that my master is more formidable than all the people in your Pill Hall!”
“Wildly arrogant!”
“Ignorant child!”
“Preposterous!”
When these words from Ye Yuan went out, the great hall was immediately filled with flooded with all kinds of reproaching voices.
To challenge the Pill Hall single-handedly, it was truly rampant without limits in these peoples’ opinions!
The Pill Hall elders present were all Quasi-Alchemy King level!
A brat who might not even be a high-rank Alchemy Master actually dared to challenge the entire Pill Hall. It was seriously the biggest joke in the world!
Alchemy was an extremely profound study. It was not that when one’s soul force reached high-rank Alchemy Master, they would definitely become a high-rank Alchemy Master.
“Haha! How absurd! Why do I have to accept your challenge? If this sort of matter spreads out, wouldn’t it make the whole world laugh at my Tranquil Cloud Sect? An Alchemy Master challenging Quasi-Alchemy Kings. To think that you can come up with this!” Ouyang Yu wondered if Ye Yuan’s brain was missing a screw.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, “A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! I think that you’ve stayed too long in the Southern Domain and think that you’re invincible under the heavens already! There’s a heaven beyond heaven and man beyond man. You all have most likely already forgotten about this logic. The things that you spent a huge price to develop is actually already outdated stuff! Even so, you’re still patting yourselves on the backs and kept these pill formulas like they were treasures. Others take out the same medicinal pill, and you think that they copied you! Truly hilarious to the max!”
“Let me ask all of you.” Ye Yuan swept his gaze across those Quasi-Alchemy Kings in the great hall and said coldly
, “Which one of you knows what the Northern Domain is like now?”
A falling pin could have been heard in the great hall.
Ye Yuan’s words left them dumbfounded.
After a long while, Luo Qingfeng suddenly said, “Hall Head Ouyang, show him the pill formula.”
Chapter 228
Chapter 228: Attending a Lesson on Alchemy!
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
Ouyang Yu’s expression flickered between joy and distress but did not hand over the pill formula immediately.
He did not feel that Ye Yuan could really dig out the flaws of the pill formula. Could a 15 years old Alchemy Master be amazing to such an extent?
It was just that for the pill formulas that their Pill Hall collectively researched and developed to be criticized from top to bottom by a little punk, it was seriously shameful.
As the Pill Hall’s Hall Head, Ouyang Ming could not afford to lose this face.
He also did not know what kind of hex Luo Qingfeng fell under, to actually agree to such ludicrous request from Ye Yuan.
He was naturally unable to comprehend Luo Qingfeng’s thoughts. His understanding of Ye Yuan was far from as thorough as Luo Qingfeng’s.
To be able to execute a move by communicating with heaven and earth essence energy in the Spirit Condensation Realm, no matter how heavily they nurtured him, it would not be excessive!
The situation reported by the Martial Hall greatly alarmed Luo Qingfeng. Then, he went on to understand Ye Yuan’s growing up process.
He discovered that Ye Yuan’s transformation could be called a classic counteroffensive. If one were to say that there was no expert behind Ye Yuan, he would not believe it even if you beat him to death!
However, this expert had never shown his face before.
During this period of time, Luo Qingfeng investigated Ye Yuan from different angles but did not discover any traces of that expert.
What did this represent? It meant that this expert had already surpassed his understanding as the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s Sect Master!
The unknown was the most terrifying, even if he was a master of a sect!
For such a mighty figure to be entrenched in the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, how could Luo Qingfeng as the sect master rest assured?
Ye Yuan’s reply today had already affirmed his conjectures from another point of view. But then, Ye Yuan said that his master went to roam the world. Although there was no proof in any way, Luo Qingfeng was still very careful about how to deal with Ye Yuan.
Presently, Ye Yuan said that he could challenge the entire Pill Hall single-handedly. It sounded preposterous, but if it were true, wouldn’t that prove that Ye Yuan’s master really existed?
The other party placed his disciple in your sect to temper him, but you killed his disciple. When that mysterious person returned someday, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might not be his match even if they mustered up the full might of the sect!
As the master of the sect, how could Luo Qingfeng dare to gamble with the entire sect?
“Hall Head Ouyang?” Luo Qingfeng urged again when he saw that Ouyang Yu did not move.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Ouyang Yu hit out a jade slip with a frown. Ye Yuan reached out to take it. Sweeping with his divine sense, he became immersed in his thoughts.
“How is it, Great Master Ye? Have you seen anything that is inappropriate? Please, give a pointer or two.”
Ouyang Yu’s words were sarcastic. Anyone could tell that he was really furious. His anger obviously could not be vented out on the sect master, so he had to get back face from Ye Yuan.
“Yeah, Great Master Ye’s master is probably an Alchemy Sovereign, right? For an Alchemy Sovereign’s accomplished disciple to give us pointers is a piece of cake.”
“I think that our Pill Hall might as well just invite Great Master Ye to be a guest elder. Oh, Great Master Ye likely would not even want this elder position!”
Alchemists were all prideful. Ye Yuan’s arrogance had already thoroughly infuriated them. Hence, they were all saying things sardonically.
They did not believe that an Alchemy Master brat could give them pointers about anything.
Even if Ye Yuan’s master was really an Alchemy Sovereign, the disciple that he taught could not possibly be at a higher level than all of them combined, right?
They obviously could not imagine just what level Ye Yuan’s Alchemy Dao realm had reached.
Forget about adding them all up, even if all of their ancestors were added up, it would be hard to reach even 10% or 20% of Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with these people’s sarcasm. After sweeping finish the True Rising Spirit Pill formula, he involuntarily let out a sigh.
“Don’t just sigh, Great Master Ye. Why don’t you talk about whether this True Rising Spirit Pill formula has any flaws or not?” Ouyang Ming asked sarcastically.
“Hur hur, since you people call me Great Master, then I’ll give you a lesson on alchemy today. Uh, just entered the sect and didn’t bring any gifts either. I’ll just give this lesson to everyone free of charge,” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
“Conceited and ignorant! Called you a great master and you really think you’re one! Giving us a lesson with the likes of you?”
Ye Yuan ignored him and continued talking. “From this pill formula, I can see that everybody’s standards are still around there. But, your foundations are not solid enough.”
When Ye Yuan’s voice fell, there were clamoring immediately.
“Foundation? A teenage baby is talking about foundation with us? Hahaha, what a joke!”
“Child, have you memorize your Herbal Essentials? Using it to talk about foundation with us?”
“Now, I feel that Ye Yuan must be the person who stole the pill formulas. Or else, he would not talk drivel here. The few of us old fellows, even when placed in the entire Southern Domain, nobody would dare to say that our foundations are not solid, right?”
Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, “Everybody, don’t get agitated. I know that you all are Quasi-Alchemy Kings. There are even some who are high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings and would be famed and respected figures when placed in the entire Southern Domain. But compared to my master, you’re indeed far off. Your foundations are also too weak. First, let’s talk about this True Rising Spirit Pill’s main ingredients. Let’s make a comparison.”
Speaking until here, Ye Yuan looked at Ouyang Yu and asked, “Hall Head Ouyang, there are three kinds of main ingredients on your True Rising Spirit Pill formula, namely, Profound Armored Beast’s inner core, Violet Night Weed, and Cloud Net Fruit, correct?”
Ouyang Yu’s face darkened but did not answer Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan did not mind either. He continued with a smile, “I’ll talk about the three kinds of main ingredients in my pill formula. They are respectively, Profound Armored Beast’s inner core, Violet Night Weed, and Verdant Nether Orchid.”
“Haha! He said use Verdant Nether Orchid! It’s common knowledge that Verdant Nether Orchid and Violet Night Weed can’t be used together! You don’t even know this point and even talk big to us about foundation! Exposed your foundation with one sentence! Sect Master, this punk is simply just trying to pass himself off as one of the players in an ensemble, and specially comes to beguile us!” Ouyang Ming said with a loud hoot.
Ouyang Ming learned to be smart this time and did not say things like directly sentence him to death.
Luo Qingfeng could not help looking at Ouyang Yu when he heard that. Ouyang Yu nodded slightly which naturally affirmed that what Ouyang Ming said was not false.
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and lightly spat out a word from his mouth, “Idiot!”
“What did you say?!” Ouyang Ming was furious.
“Already grown up, but could it be that you haven’t heard of a phrase called ‘history (books) should be read with reservation’? You say that these two types of herbs cannot be used together. It should have been stat
ed on that whatever lousy Herbal Compendium, right? Well, it should be stated on it that after combining the two kinds of ingredients, Violet Night Weed and Verdant Nether Orchid, it would produce a poison which is greatly harmful to martial artists, yes?”
The crowd collectively turned to stone.
The Herbal Compendium that was revered as a priceless treasure in the Endless World became a lousy book in Ye Yuan’s mouth.
However, what Ye Yuan said was indeed correct. It was written like so in the book.
“Humph! Isn’t it so?”
Ouyang Ming said with a livid face.
“So my ass!” Ye Yuan directly cussed back and said, “The book written by an Alchemy Sovereign indeed has great referencing value, but you all have to know that Alchemy Sovereigns have only just entered the gates in terms of the way of alchemy! The things they comprehended must be correct? Knowledge acquired from books will ultimately be shallow! If you people don’t experiment, don’t test it out, you’ll only be brought astray by others! Worshipping the Herbal Compendium like it’s a holy scripture, you all will never surpass the author of the book!
Chapter 229
Ye Yuan’s words drew blood with a single poke. Those who kept their cool involuntarily fell silent.
The Herbal Compendium had been revered as a holy scripture by the Endless World’s alchemists. It basically represented the highest level in the Endless World!
Yet, even those amazing alchemists than them were unable to walk to the end of the profundities of Alchemy Dao.
Although the Herbal Compendium’s accomplishments were extremely high, to say that everything written on it was correct, that was evidently impossible.
But the problem was that the Herbal Compendium was already enough for them to study their entire lives. How much time did these Quasi-Alchemy Kings have to verify it one by one?
Looking at it this way, Ye Yuan’s words indeed set people thinking.
But there were clearly not many alchemists who were able to think calmly at this time. In their eyes, Ye Yuan was already arrogant to a certain level.
Alchemy Sovereigns had just entered the gates? Then what did they, these Quasi-Alchemy Kings, count as?
