"But . . . this medicinal pill is a Tier 2 medicinal pill; even high-rank Alchemy Masters can't refine it so easily, right? Could it be that you already have the strength that surpasses high-rank Alchemy Master?" Huyan Yong suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.
This was actually Huyan Yong overthinking it. It was essentially something impossible for high-rank Alchemy Masters to want to refine the Crystal Formation Pill!
Forget about high-rank Alchemy Masters, it would be impossible to refine the Crystal Formation Pill even for high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters!
The complexity of the Crystal Formation Pill's refinement was simply beyond the comprehension of the State of Qin's Alchemy Grandmasters. Even if Ye Yuan paired the ingredients for them to refine, they also could not refine it.
"Around there. Tier 2 medicinal pills already pose no difficulty to me," Ye Yuan said. He was not bragging but merely stating a fact.
Ye Yuan's soul strength had already reached the degree of a middle-rank Alchemy Master. Coupled with the level of refining method like the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, refining Tier 2 medicinal pills really was not an issue to him.
Huyan Yong's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This brat is really a wondrous freak!
Just at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and he actually said that Tier 2 medicinal pills had no difficulty. I wonder what the Dean will feel when he hears this.
Huyan Yong gently c.a.r.e.s.sed the medicinal bottle Ye Yuan gave him and fell silent.
But from his lightly trembling body, it could be seen just how agitated he was inside!
Ye Yuan also did not urge him. He just waited for Huyan Yong to calm down quietly. He also knew just how great the impact the Crystal Formation Pill had towards Huyan Yong.
After a long time, Huyan Yong took a deep breath, then gave the medicinal bottle back to Ye Yuan, saying, "Ye Yuan, you'd better take this medicinal pill back!"
Ye Yuan was slightly stupefied and was somewhat confused. "Could it be that Teacher Huyan Yong doesn't trust Ye Yuan?"
Huyan Yong shook his hand and said, "How can Teacher not trust you? It's just that this medicinal pill is invaluable. I can't accept it. I think that judging from your improvement speed, breaking through to peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is only a matter of within a year? You'd better save this medicinal pill for your own use! You need it more than me!"
Ye Yuan did not expect Huyan Yong to actually say something like this. He felt deeply touched in his heart.
To the Divine Realm's martial artists, Crystal Formation Realm might not be considered much. But Ye Yuan had stayed in the State of Qin for such a long time. He could fully understand just what the Crystal Formation Realm meant to the Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!
But Huyan Yong was actually willing to give up the chance to become a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist for him!
Just how much resolution was needed to be able to shake off the temptation of advancing to Crystal Formation Realm?!
Ye Yuan pushed the bottle to Huyan Yong again, saying with a smile, "Teacher Huyan is worrying too much. This Crystal Formation Pill isn't as precious as you imagine. I have as many as I want."
"Have as many as you want? Ye Yuan, you aren't deliberately saying it just to make me accept this medicinal pill, right?" Huyan Yong said disbelievingly.
Ye Yuan was helpless and took out another two medicinal bottles. The medicinal pills inside the bottles were shockingly all Crystal Formation Pills, stunning Huyan Yong until he was left with his mouth agape again.
Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill could be mass produced?
This brat's methods was truly inconceivable!
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll accept it. However, this Crystal Formation Pill is overly monstrous. You have to secure this secret well and take care not to let others know!"
Huyan Yong was not a pretentious person. Ye Yuan already said it till this way, he naturally would not refuse it anymore. Instead, he gave a reminder to Ye Yuan.
"Of course."
Huyan Yong kept away the Crystal Formation Pill gingerly before saying to Ye Yuan, "Since you've already returned, then Su Yishan?"
"Dead," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Huyan Yong was not too surprised. But he could guess that Ye Yuan's trip to the Endless Forest was not that peaceful.
"As long as you're fine, don't mind anything else. Lord Dean already came back. You follow me to meet him. He regards you very highly," Huyan Yong said.
"En, I should."
Ye Yuan did not refuse. After all, Huyan Yong protecting him was still the command issued by the Dean. It was proper and reasonable that he should pay a visit.
The two had just stepped out when they saw Su Yubai coming towards them with a tumultuous aura.
"Ye Yuan! What did you do to Yishan?! I'm warning you. If anything happens to Yishan, you and the Ye Family will join him!" Su Yubai bellowed angrily.
Ye Yuan looked at Su Yubai like staring at an idiot, saying coolly, "I say, First Elder Su, is there something wrong with your brain? You lost your nephew, but you don't go to the Endless Forest to look for him. What did you come running to me to make a fuss about?"
Su Yubai pointed at Ye Yuan's nose and roared in anger, "Ye Yuan! Don't fake an innocent face for this old man! The Endless Trials this time, you, Feng Zhirou, and Yishan took so long to return. You dare say that Yishan's disappearance had nothing to do with you?!"
Ye Yuan shot a glance at Huyan Yong and asked with a bewildered face, "Did Elder Su suffer some sort of stimulus recently? Why does it look like your brain isn't working too well?"
"His brain had never been working very well." Huyan Yong supplemented another knife quite irresponsibly, singing in chorus with Ye Yuan.
"In that case, can't blame him. Elder Su, do you have a misunderstanding? It seems like there isn't only the three of us who delayed our return in the Endless Trials, right? According to what I know, there's twenty over students who didn't come back this Endless Trials, yet, you just had to group the three of us together. How sinister! I know that Elder Su does not have a good impression of me, but you can't fabricate a charge against me like this!" Ye Yuan said innocently.
Seeing Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong chiming together, Su Yubai was even more infuriated!
Although Su Yishan was Su Yulin's son, he was raised up all alone by Su Yubai.
Not father and son, but as dear as father and son!
Otherwise, he would not have immediately came forward right after hearing that Ye Yuan came back.
But now, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both returned, and yet, Su Yishan still did not come back. Most likely, he was a goner!
After all, Su Yishan went to kill Ye Yuan. Su Yishan did not believe that they did not meet in the Endless Forest!
"Stop pretending to be innocent! In this batch of students, only you have a grudge with Yishan! If any accident befalls Yishan, you can't escape responsibilities!"
"Oh? Is that so? The Endless Forest is riddled with danger, so why can't Su Yishan have been killed by demonic beasts? Elder Su, this hole in your brain is really quite wide! But then again, even if I'm the one who killed, so what? Elder Su has no proof. You wouldn't just determine my crime with nothing but words, right? Uh . . . I almost forget. I'm the Tranquil Cloud Sect's Core Disciple now, so Elder Su can't convict me!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Chapter 184 - Envoy
"Hahaha, you finally admitted it! Ye Yuan, you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" Su Yubai was so infuriated that he laughed.
"Heh heh, you also can't run if you kill me, yeah? When the Tranquil Cloud Sect finds you, it isn't something to joke about. Why don't you reconsider?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
"Blame? You're overthinking it! Go to hell!"
Su Yubai was still talking when he suddenly exploded, thrusting a palm at Ye Yuan!
Heaven Flipping Palm!
The same move
had a world of difference between Su Yishan and Su Yubai who executed it!
But this palm struck thin air.
Su Yubai only felt his vision blur, and nine Ye Yuans actually appeared at the same time! And he could not even distinguish which one was Ye Yuan's true body!
Following that, Su Yubai just passed through a phantom just like this. When he turned back, Ye Yuan remained standing where he was as if he never moved.
Su Yubai and Huyan Yong's face revealed astonishment at the same time. Since when had Ye Yuan learned such a powerful but peculiar movement technique?
Huyan Yong did not think that Su Yubai would really dare to make a move in the academy. In a moment of carelessness, it was already too late to defend.
But he could not have imagined that Ye Yuan could actually avoid Su Yubai's attack so easily!
"You actually broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!" Su Yubai said with disbelief.
It had not even been a month since Ye Yuan stepped into the Endless Forest, and he actually directly broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
This speed . . .
"Haha, thanks to Elder Su's blessings, I broke through by a fluke."
Su Yubai's face darkened. This Ye Yuan's mouth really needed a beating! Whose blessing was not good that he had to have Su Yubai's blessings?
Wasn't this sickening people?
"Oh yeah. Does Elder Su still remember what I said before? I wasn't joking with you! Perhaps, I don't need a year!" Ye Yuan said while smiling.
Su Yubai's face changed when he heard that. With Ye Yuan's advancement speed, perhaps he really did not need a year!
Although that sentence from Ye Yuan made him into a joke in the Dan Wu Academy for a time, he had never taken it seriously.
But now, he suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan really did not seem to be kidding. He truly had this capability!
"Humph! Then you also have to survive a year first! Ye Hang's about to collapse right now. Do you feel you still have the chance?" Su Yubai said with a cold sneer.
"Is that so? I feel that Elder Su had better flaunt about it in front of me after my father falls from power. Otherwise, you will have your face smacked by me again. Although your face has already been smacked rotten by me, I don't mind hitting it again to tear it down some more," Ye Yuan said calmly.
"You!" Su Yubai nearly choked to death.
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Su Yubai. He turned around and left with Huyan Yong. Watching Ye Yuan's back view, Su Yubai's eyes were about to spit fire.
But Ye Yuan had already grown to such an extent, and he even had a Huyan Yong by his side. He simply could not make Ye Yuan stay!
Even though the Su Family was very strong, it was not strong to such an extent that they could cover the skies with one hand in the Dan Wu Academy.
. . . . . .
"Ye Yuan, I didn't think that after your involvement in the Endless Trials this time, it's like you were reborn after coming back! That move just now, even if I were matched up against it, I would also be at a loss on what to do!" Huyan Yong marveled.
Huyan Yong felt that not only did Ye Yuan raise his cultivation realm, but his power also grew much greater.
Although he was only at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, his strength was probably already not beneath Long Tang's!
Huyan Yong was somewhat faintly looking forward to the match between these two pinnacle geniuses of the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy.
"Haha, I can be considered to have some small gains I guess." Ye Yuan also could not share too much and could only make it vague.
As a matter of fact, his biggest gain this trip to the Endless Forest was still the Medicine God's Soul Canon. It was just that he was still unable to comprehend those golden words in a short period of time. Hence, this Medicine God's Soul Canon was not useful to Ye Yuan at the moment.
The two traveled side by side and soon arrived at Jiang Yunhe's residence.
"Lord Dean, Ye Yuan has returned. I brought him over to pay respects to you," Huyan Yong said respectfully outside the door.
"Enter."
Huyan Yong and Ye Yuan pushed the door and entered once they heard that. Upon entering, the discovered that there were still other people inside the house.
An old man sat opposite Jiang Yunhe, giving people an immeasurable feeling. There was a young man standing beside the elderly man. Merely 18 or 19 years old, but already had Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation.
To possess such strength at this age, he was definitely like a crane standing among chickens when placed in the Dan Wu Academy! Even Long Tang could not compare.
"Haha, Ye Yuan! Such a coincidence. I was just about to send someone to call you and Long Tang over, but you arrived first. Quickly come over and pay respects to Lord Envoy Yao Qian!" Jiang Yunhe immediately laughed and said when he saw Ye Yuan.
It was very clear that Jiang Yunhe had long known about Ye Yuan returning to the academy.
"Junior Ye Yuan pays respect to Lord Yao Qian!" Ye Yuan did not say much and gave a salute to Yao Qian.
"Academy's instructor Huyan Yong pays respect to Lord Envoy!" Huyan Yong's face changed when he heard that and went forward to give a respectful bow.
Yao Qian lightly glanced at Ye Yuan and said, "En. You're the student who made it past the Nine Heavens Road with Essence Qi Realm strength?"
"It's precisely this junior," Ye Yuan said.
No idea why, but Ye Yuan felt that this envoy's expression when looking at him was somewhat odd as if he did not really like him.
This old fellow should be from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He did not seem to know anyone, right?
Ye Yuan could not figure out just where he had offended this old man.
The expression of the youth beside the old man was also filled with contempt when looking at him.
How baffling!
"Haha, this person beside Lord Yao Qian must be his proud disciple, Yang Hao. Don't look at him being so young, not only did he reach the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm on the martial path, he's even a high-rank Alchemy Master already. He is a genius figure even greater than your Teacher Feng! He will be your and Long Tang's Senior Apprentice Brother in the future. You guys should try to be closer," Jiang Yunhe praised.
Being praised by Jiang Yunhe, Yang Hao's face showed a trace of delight, but it was concealed very well.
However, Ye Yuan saw that and could not help scorning in his heart. Just based on this disposition, it was futile no matter how high his cultivation realm was.
It looked like these sect members all had a lofty and exalted sense when coming to the secular world.
Ye Yuan could not resist glancing at Huyan Yong. Seeing that he had no reaction and seemed to feel that it was only natural, he could not help secretly sighing.
However, Ye Yuan was very disdainful of such an attitude. Ye Yuan listened to Jiang Yunhe's introduction while appearing calm on the surface. But he was criticizing ceaselessly in his heart.
What kind of genius did he count as? Since when did geniuses become so utterly worthless?
But in front of Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan obviously would not show anything. He just clasped his hands and said, "I've seen Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. In the future, after I enter the sect, I hope that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang can look after me."
Ye Yuan's manners were already considered very humble and appropriate. Who would have thought that this Yang Hao just replied indifferently, "Haha, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is hailed as the number one person in a millennium. Why would you need the care of an incompetent person like me?"
Chapter 185 - Never Met Anyone so Retarded
A thick smell of gunpowder appeared the moment he opened his mouth.
Ye Yuan's face fell slightly. This fellow was simply here to stir up shit, right?
He was originally already not that happy with Yang Hao's high and mighty attitude. He was only so courteous on account of Jiang Yunhe'
s face.
It not, with Ye Yuan's personality, he would not even be bothered with Yang Hao.
The so-called geniuses did not even count as dull wits in Ye Yuan's eyes!
"So Senior Apprentice Brother Yang knows that he is mediocre huh. Looks like you still have some clear estimation of yourself. I was worried that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang was getting a little carried away after being praised too much by people." Since the other party did not give face, Ye Yuan obviously had no need to be polite.
"Humph! The so-called number one person in a millennium is just extolled by some ignorant people of the secular world! Those who charged past the Nine Heavens Road, just a random grab in the Tranquil Cloud Sect and you get a bunch. Only the outer sect will sensationalize this stunt."
Facing Ye Yuan's ridicule, Yang Hao did not get stung by it but met him blow for blow.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm don't really care about what number one person in a millennium. Only some people with mediocre talent would take this sort of matter to heart."
With each 'mediocre talent' Ye Yuan said out loud, Yang Hao felt irritated by that constant harping on it in his heart. He was only being a little sarcastic to Ye Yuan just now. But he did not think that Ye Yuan would attack persistently from a chink in his armor.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye keeps saying mediocre. I wonder if you dare to compete with me, this mediocre talent? I want to consult just what kind of genius is the alleged number one person in a thousand years."
Yang Hao's condescending attitude was because he was dead sure that Ye Yuan would not dare to answer the challenge.
He was at Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and high-rank Alchemy Master; a completely different level from Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan dared to accept the challenge, then he would not be a genius, but a one hundred percent dumbass!
Ye Yuan was just about to say something when Jiang Yunhe by the side said, "Do not be rude, Ye Yuan! Lord Yao Qian is the high sect's Pill Hall elder. This trip for him and Yang Hao is to especially fetch you and Long Tang into the sect."
