Ouyang Ming only left while looking back every few steps after Yao Qian nodded his head, and went out with Luo Qingfeng.
After everyone exited the refinement room, Yao Qian sneered and said, “Ye Yuan, aren’t you scared that your lifespan will be shortened by making a Quasi-Alchemy King acknowledge you as master?”
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Isn’t shortening my lifespan exactly what you hope for? I don’t even mind, so why should you?”
Yao Qian could not help choking up; his eyes spewing fire.
Ye Yuan pretended to be shocked. “Aiya, is Elder Yao trying to silence me by killing me? The sect master is right outside. This isn’t good.”
“Talk. What terms do you want?” Yao Qian forcefully pressed down the rage in his heart and said somberly.
“Ah? What? What terms? I don’t understand Elder Yao’s meaning.” Ye Yuan had a blank look.
Yao Qian hated fiercely in his heart. This fellow was clearly pretending to be muddled, but yet, he had to play along with him.
“Stop pretending! State your conditions! As long as it’s not to acknowledge you as master, any conditions will do!”
“Don’t! With a Quasi-Alchemy King disciple, it would be so glorious if I go outside in the future. Why do I have to put out conditions?”
An image involuntarily emerged in Yao Qian’s mind. You don’t know Yao Qian? A Quasi-Alchemy King! That’s my disciple! How is it? I’m amazing, aren’t I?
“Puhwurk!” Yao Qian’s chest felt stifled, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat. A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
If this sort of situation really occurred, he would rather go die!
Ye Yuan wanted to mess with him to death!
Yao Qian could not imagine just how Ye Yuan could resolve the riddle that nobody could in the thousands of years of the Endless World’s alchemy world.
If not because he knew the prowess of the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin, how could Yao Qian dare to make this bet with Ye Yuan!
Yet, Ye Yuan really resolved this poison!
Even with countless regrets, Yao Qian could not turn back time. The current Yao Qian had already sunk into a dilemma. A single misstep and his reputation would be utterly ruined!
“Aiya, what’s with you, Elder Yao. Well, looks like our Tranquil Cloud Sect treats the elders very well. There’s too much blood in them that they can casually spit out a mouthful when they have nothing to do. En, en, I must work hard and cultivate so that I can get an elder position!”
Ye Yuan did not hold any sympathy in his heart as he continued to pour salt on his wounds.
Yao Qian merely had anger and anxiety inflict his heart. Vomiting a mouthful of blood was not a big deal to a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. Furthermore, as a Quasi-Alchemy King, Yao Qian could replenish the deficit in blood vitality just by casually eating some medicinal pills.
Indeed, Yao Qian failed to endure, and another mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Ye Yuan wanted to continue talking. Yao Qian could not be bothered with vomiting blood anymore and hastily said, “Ye Yuan, say it. How can I call off this bet?!”
If he let Ye Yuan continue talking, he would really die today from vomiting blood.
A Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse of his generation being angered to death by vomiting blood. This would absolutely shake the entire Endless World!
Ye Yuan saw that the intensity was just about right. He blinked and said, “Elder Yao really doesn’t want to be my disciple? Actually, being my disciple really isn’t bad. I won’t even let ordinary people be!”
This was not Ye Yuan boasting. In his previous life, only God knew how many alchemists wanted to go under his tutelage. But Ye Yuan did not accept a single one.
Ji Qingyun disliked that teaching disciples wasted far, far too much time, delaying his researching the Alchemy Dao.
Yao Qian did not speak and just shook his head decisively. He was already on the verge of collapse.
“Sigh, that’s such a shame. I can’t show off to others in the future,” Ye Yuan said regretfully.
“Quick . . . Quickly say your terms!”
Now that it had come to this, Yao Qian was already prepared to bleed heavily.
“Elder Yao is really generous. You know that sect disciples don’t lead a good life. As a Pill Hall elder, Elder Yao should have quite a lot of points, right?” Ye Yuan enquired with a beam.
Yao Qian’s heart jolted. “How much do you want?”
Ye Yuan reached out two fingers.
“20 thousand?” Yao Qian’s heart eased up. 20 thousand points were already quite a number to core disciples.
“Is Elder Yao dismissing a beggar?”
“200 thousand?”
Yao Qian’s eyes went wide. It was truly demanding an exorbitant price!
Ye Yuan shook his head again. “Two million!”
“Two million? Why don’t you go rob?! Where do I have so many points?” Yao Qian was taken aback by Ye Yuan.
Two million was also an astronomical figure to Yao Qian!
He only accumulated a million plus points back then when he was hoarding for the Purple Center Soul Incantation.
Although the elder position was high, expenses were high too. The points he had on hand were only roughly 500 thousand or so.
2 million points were four times his total net worth!
Seeing Yao Qian’s expression, Ye Yuan also came to realize that his asking price seemed to be too high.
He originally wanted 2 million to give Jiang Yunhe 1.4 million to exchange for the Purple Center Soul Incantation. Then, he would have 600 thousand left, which should be enough to use for a long time.
It looked like this plan was going to go bust.
“How much do you have?”
“I only have 300 thousand!”
“Like that huh, then no talk.”
“Wait, wait!” Yao Qian hurriedly said. “I . . . I can gather up to a million! But, two million are really too much. Even us elders can’t possibly have that much! Two million points, even if I don’t use points in the future, I would also need to amass them for 10 years! You can ask the other elders about this, and you’ll know whether what I said is true or not.”
Ye Yuan rubbed his chin and was still quite dissatisfied. But since Yao Qian already said this, it was almost certainly the case. However, he was certain that Yao Qian definitely understated his own points.
“1.2 million. No less.”
He had to pay some price since he wanted to call off the bet. The price was that Yao Qian would have to work for free for others several years after.
Yao Qian did not say anything as his expression flickered indecisively.
700 thousand points. He basically had to forget about doing other things for the next five years. It would essentially all be used to repay the debt.
However, to really recover, it would require at least seven years!
But compared to becoming Ye Yuan’s disciple, he would rather spend his days in debt!
Finally, Yao Qian gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! Deal!”
Chapter 232
“Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, quickly think of a plan! Ye Yuan hasn’t returned yet. Did something happen to him?” Lu-er asked anxiously.
“Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Among us here, only you have the right to talk. Why don’t you go and inquire to see if they did anything to Ye Yuan?” Nanfeng Ruoqing also said.
The few people were like ants on a hot pan, walking around Mo Yuntian non-stop.
But Mo Yuntian also had a helpless face. “Not that I don’t wish to help Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, but I really don’t have to power to speak! The Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? I must be at the elder position and above to join. Furthermore, it’s strictly confidential. It’s simply impossible to inquire about the news.”
“Then . . . Then we just sit here and wait blankly? We have to do something!” Nanfeng Zhirou also voiced out.
Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, “Th
e only thing we can do now is to trust Master. With him present, he definitely won’t let Ye Yuan suffer. Moreover, Ye Yuan’s talent is plain for everyone to see. I believe that the sect master is unlikely to do something that would cripple the sect’s prospects.”
The group discussed for a long time but did not come up with anything.
Lu-er could not sit still anymore. “No way! I have to go find Young Master!”
Finishing, she sprinted out of the door.
But right after stepping outside, she just happened to see Ye Yuan who strolled into the court.
Young Master was perfectly fine!
When Lu-er saw that Ye Yuan was fine, the rock in her heart was finally put down.
“Young Master, they didn’t do anything to you, right?” Lu-er still asked rather worriedly.
“Your family’s young master is a Divine King’s reincarnation! What can they do to your family’s young master?” Ye Yuan cracked a partly-true, partly-false joke. Either way, nobody would believe him.
“Will you die if you don’t brag?! Don’t you know how worried Lu-er was for you just now?” Nanfeng Zhirou also followed out and said exasperatedly.
“Aren’t I am fine? Haha, thanks so much for everyone’s concern. Since everyone’s here, that also saves me the trip of finding each of you one by one,” Ye Yuan said with a chortle.
“En? You just came from the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing. What are you looking for us for?” Long Tang asked rather puzzledly.
“Go in and talk.”
The few people entered the house and sat down.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng, Junior Apprentice Brother Long, the three of you take out your identity tokens. I have a large gift I want to give you guys,” Ye Yuan said it bluntly.
“En? Large gift? Can it be . . .” The people here were sharp-witted people. Hearing that Ye Yuan wanted their identity tokens, they naturally guessed what Ye Yuan wanted to do.
But it was precisely so that they were even more skeptical.
Wasn’t Ye Yuan escorted to the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? Why did he bring points back?
Doubts were doubts, the three people still took out the identity tokens as asked.
Ye Yuan also took out his own identity token and used soul force to transfer some points respectively.
He originally needed so many points because he planned on giving them to Jiang Yunhe to exchange for the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation.
But now that there was still a huge chunk of points missing, Ye Yuan obviously needed to think of some other ways of earning points.
He knew that it was very challenging for newly accepted sect disciples to stride forward, so he naturally would not be stingy. He distributed some points to Nanfeng Ruoqing and the others.
Either way, there was still 200 thousand points to be earned. He did not care about this paltry amount.
“10 . . . 10 thousand points? Ye Yuan, where did you get so many points from?” Nanfeng Ruoqing inserted her divine sense into the token and could not help being greatly alarmed.
“Mine is also 10 thousand points!” Long Tang said.
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, this . . . Isn’t this way too much? You just entered the sect. There are still many areas you need to use points in. Although I don’t know where your points came from, giving it to us like this, do you have enough left to use?” Mo Yuntian asked hesitantly.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Relax, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, I have plenty of points. Come and look for me again after you use finish. Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, right now is the crucial period for you. You have many areas where you need points for. These bit of points to express this junior apprentice brother’s goodwill.”
Mo Yuntian was presently at the Sixth Level Crystal Formation Realm and about to break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. He naturally could not avoid the cost for stepping into late-stage Crystal Formation Realm.
Of course, Ye Yuan was not giving him so many points because of Mo Yuntian’s expenses, but because he was indebted to him for saving his life.
“But . . . this is too much!” Mo Yuntian was rather embarrassed.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, how many points did Ye Yuan give you?” Nanfeng Zhirou could not resist asking like a curious baby.
“Uh, 50 thousand points!”
“Hiss . . . What’s going on? Ye Yuan, didn’t you go to the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? Why did you come back with so many points instead?” Nanfeng Ruoqing sucked in a cold breath.
Ye Yuan snickered and recounted today’s experience briefly to everyone, making them wide-eyed and dumbfounded.
1.2 million points!
Mo Yuntian stayed at the Tranquil Cloud Sect for 10 years and did not have so many points even if he added everything up!
But Ye Yuan only used six days to get these.
Mo Yuntian smiled bitterly and said, “To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye’s alchemic talent actually do not pale in the slightest bit to your martial talent! However, you’ve offended the Ouyang Family to the core this time!”
“No matter. Even if I don’t offend them, they would also come and offend me. If they dare to come to find trouble with me again, I don’t mind getting some more points,” Ye Yuan said confidently.
Right then, a symbol suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yuntian and started immolating, turning into ash instantly.
A barely imperceptible streak of Essence energy tunneled into Mo Yuntian’s ear.
“It’s the sound transmission talisman that Master sent. He asked me to bring Junior Apprentice Brother Ye to see him,” Mo Yuntian said.
“Hall Head Xiao? I’ll go with you,” Ye Yuan replied.
This meeting with Xiao Jian, Ye Yuan absolutely had to go.
. . . . . .
Seeing Ye Yuan once again, Xiao Jian sighed unceasingly.
He initially wanted to exert utmost effort at the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing to help Ye Yuan out of his predicament.
He did not imagine that he did not help much, but Ye Yuan himself slaughtered his way in and out however he like, ultimately butchering Yao Qian until not even a fragment of armor was left.
Although not a lot of time passed, the matter of Yao Qian giving Ye Yuan 1.2 million points was already circulating among the upper echelons.
Yao Qian alone naturally did not have so many points. He had to find other people to lend points from. This incident obviously could not be concealed.
The first person Yao Qian went to find was unsurprisingly Ouyang Ming. But Ouyang Ming’s points on hand was even lesser than Yao Qian. Furthermore, Ouyang Ming obviously could not lend all of his points to him.
Yao Qian could only find a few elders with pretty good relations and finally barely managed to gather together 1.2 million points before transferring to Ye Yuan.
A bet to exchange for 1.2 million points. In the history of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, people dare not say that there would absolutely be no successor to Ye Yuan, but he definitely had no predecessors!
Of course, this sort of bet looked simple, but without heaven-defying strength, don’t even think about it!
One had to know, what Ye Yuan resolved was a puzzle that nobody could in thousands of years in the Endless World!
Before this, Xiao Jian was truly unaware that Ye Yuan’s alchemic talent was actually so heaven-defying! This way, there was nothing odd about him possessing the True Rising Spirit Pill.
“Ye Yuan . . .” Xiao Jian stared at Ye Yuan as he spoke, but swallowed back his words.
Ye Yuan smiled lightly and took out the Canghua Sword from his storage ring and passed it to Xiao Jian.
Chapter 233

Seeing the Canghua Sword, Xiao Jian’s eyes became glued to it as he took it over from Ye Yuan’s hands with trembling hands.
He lightly caressed the sword body, his eyes already wet.
Ye Yuan and Mo
Yuntian remained silent and watched Xiao Jian reminiscing Lu yan quietly.
“Canghua, to think that this parting lasted over a hundred years!” Xiao Jian said with an emotional sigh.
The current Xiao Jian seemed to have already walked out from his reminiscing Lu Yan emotions and recovered back to that Martial Hall’s Hall Head with intertwining sword intent.
He returned Canghua back to Ye Yuan and said emotionally, “It looks like Canghua has already acknowledged you its master. It followed Master for 200 years and virtually became one with Master, but it recognized you as its master so quickly. It can be seen that you have an affinity with it.”
Towards these words, Ye Yuan was still quite contemptuous.
Merely an 8-restrictions spirit artifact. It was effortless for Ye Yuan to want to subdue it.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan fused the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent on the Nine Heavens Road. This had the utmost attraction to the Canghua Sword. Recognizing a master was naturally not peculiar either.
What Lu Yan pursued throughout his life was merely just the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, while Ye Yuan’s sword intent far surpassed that.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Canghua is spiritual. This period of time, it indeed helped me out a lot.”
Of course, the Canghua Sword was undoubtedly an excellent helper to the present Ye Yuan.
If he did not have the Canghua Sword, there was no way his Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword would have such incredible might.
Regardless whether it was the Nine Swords Stance or Thousand Flowing Petals, they both required the support of a powerful weapon. And the Canghua Sword was naturally the most convenient weapon to the Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan.
If Ye Yuan did not possess the Canghua Sword, the power of these two moves would be greatly diminished.
“Is Master . . . all right?” Xiao Jian asked rather flusteredly.
Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer. Only then did Xiao Jian come around.
Ye Yuan went through the Nine Heavens Road, so he obviously had to swear a Heaven Dao Oath. How could he possibly answer his question?
