What was important was that Ye Yuan could bring him powerful might! Perhaps, he, Yuan Fei, was not without hope of impacting the bottleneck to become a Tier 4 demonic beast in his remaining years.
Ye Yuan knew what Yuan Fei was thinking of and said with a smile, "Haha, relax. Perhaps I don't even need a year, and I'll be able to refine the Demon Crystal Pill. Now, properly absorb the medicinal effects and recover your strength. I still have areas in need of your strength in a few days."
Yuan Fei nodded and did not say anything. He started to revolve essence energy to refine the medicinal effects.
Ye Yuan no longer bothered with Yuan Fei. He gestured with one hand again, and a little 'kitty' appeared out of nowhere. It was White Light.
It was just that White Light was currently sleeping. No matter how he called, he would not wake up. This situation had already persisted for two days. Ye Yuan also felt somewhat bewildered.
These two days, Ye Yuan refined many medicinal pills. He obviously would not forget to refine medicinal pills for White Light.
White Light was only a Tier 1 demonic beast. This was naturally not an issue to Ye Yuan.
Furthermore, Tier 1 herbs were plenty. Ye Yuan refined thousands of medicinal pills in one go, planning for White Light to slowly use.
Who knew that when Ye Yuan let White Light out, this little fellow's eyes instantly shone when he saw those medicinal pills, and swallowed up the thousands of medicinal pills in one breath, leaving Ye Yuan dumbfounded.
Even if it were him, he also would not dare to swallow medicinal pills like that! Was this little thing seeking death?
Ye Yuan was taken aback and was about to make White Light spit out all those medicinal pills. Who knew that this little fellow gave a burp, slanted his body, and fell asleep.
Initially, Ye Yuan thought that White Light was stuffed to death, so he quickly went forward to examine.
This check made Ye Yuan involuntarily click his tongue in amazement. This little fellow's breathing was calm. He was merely sleeping. Only then did he feel at ease.
However, this snooze lasted two days. White Light did not show the slightest sign of waking.
Although Ye Yuan had researched in depth into demonic beasts, he had truly never seen before this sort of situation. He could only check on White Light's state at all times.
Ye Yuan gave White Light another round of examination and discovered that White Light still did not show signs of waking. He was still dead asleep and would not wake up no matter how he called him.
However, Ye Yuan noticed that White Light's aura grew much stronger. He actually broke through already!
Originally, White Light was only at the early-stage Tier 1. After sleeping for two days, he actually already broke through to middle-stage Tier 1 quietly.
Could it be that this little fellow automatically refined the medicinal pills to break through in his sleep? This . . . was too effortless, right?
Ye Yuan became increasingly curious about White Light's history.
Now, it seemed like White Light was probably not an ordinary Flowing Light White Tiger.
Ye Yuan had never heard of Flowing Light White Tigers having a treasure-seeking innate divine ability nor them being able to evolve like this.
However, the characteristics on White Light's body was clearly Flowing Light White Tiger.
Ye Yuan could not figure it just why this was the case even after pondering over it.
It looked like he could only wait until he awakened his inherited memories to make sense of just what in the world happened to White Light's body.
Since he could not figure it out, Ye Yuan might as just not think about it. Keeping away White Light, Ye Yuan simply mediated to cultivate together with Ye Hang while quietly waiting for Yuan Fei to recover.
In a blink, one night passed. Yuan Fei suddenly snapped open his eyes and stood up.
"Young Master, I've recovered!"
Chapter 192 - Such a Fine Dog!
"Song Family's Family Head, Song Tian Ying arrives!"
"Pill Condensing Manor's Manor Lord, Jiang Xin arrives!"
"Wang Family's Family Head, Wang Jia arrives!"
. . . . . .
In front of the Drunken Star Manor's gates, a steward repeatedly reported names in a loud voice.
Large family's patriarchs, peers of the alchemy world, martial artists currently in the limelight, and notable figures in the capital virtually all converged at the Drunken Star Manor!
"Haha, for Song Family Head to grace us with your presence, you're really showering glory on our humble abode! Quickly come inside and sit!"
"Aiyo, isn't this Jiang Manor Lord? Long time no see, long time no see! Please come in, please come in!"
Wan Dongyang welcomed guests at the entrance and was awfully busy.
Anyone could tell the delight on Wan Dongyang's face.
Even though Wan Dongyang was verbally courteous, that haughty air made these distinguished aristocrats feel somewhat displeased.
However, no matter how unhappy they were, they had no choice.
Because from today onwards, the Drunken Star Manor would be the indisputable king of the State of Qin's alchemy world!
Even the Imperial Family would likely have to be dependent on the Drunken Star Manor!
Because the Imperial Family had to nurture talents, so they had no choice but to purchase the Drunken Star Manor's medicinal pills. If not, their young generation would fall behind the other families.
Most importantly, it was to fall behind the Su Family!
Everybody already deemed that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would vanish from the capital from now on. This force that was propped up by the Imperial Family to impede the Drunken Star Manor would completely dissolve!
But they had no choice. To launch three new types of medicinal pills in one move, the impact it had toward the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was seriously too great!
Therefore, Wan Dongyang had the right to be high and mighty!
"Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's Pavilion Lord, Ye Hang arrives! Imperial Uncle Nanfeng Lou, Eldest Princess, Nanfeng Ruoqing arrives!" the steward called out loudly once again.
Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence that Ye Hang actually arrived at virtually the same time with the Nanfeng family representatives.
When organizing such a glorious event, whoever arrived first or later was not on a whim.
Although those who entered prior to this were prominent figures in the capital, when compared to the characters who appeared now, they were insignificant.
It should be said that the earlier one arrived, the smaller the force. The later one came, the heavier the weight they carried.
Logically speaking, the Imperial Family's representatives should be the last to arrive. But now, Nanfeng Lou was not the last to reach, because the Su Family's representative had yet to come!
Wan Dongyang saw Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing and hastily went up to pay respects. "Wan Dongyang pays respects to Imperial Uncle, pays respects to Eldest Princess!"
Nanfeng Lou furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "Where's Wan Donghai? I represent the arrival of the Imperial Family. Doesn't he, the owner, know how to come out to welcome people?"
Towards Nanfeng Lou's disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, Wan Dongyang behaved like he did not see it. He just flashed an apologetic smile and said, "Calm your anger, Imperial Uncle. There are too many guests today. Elder Brother has his hands completely full and truly cannot free himself. Hence, he arranged for me to be here to welcome Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess."
"Such impudence! This State of Qin is still under the regime of the Nanfeng Family, and your Wan Family already dares to be so unbridled?" Nanfeng Lou was enraged when he heard that.
"Haha, Imperial Uncle can also see it; there are seriously too many people at this Pill Grading Assembly. This is also the first time our Drunken Star Manor organized such a major event, so we really don't have any experience. If there are any areas where we did not receive
you well, please be magnanimous enough to forgive us, Imperial Uncle. Although I, Wan Dongyang, am not the owner of the Drunken Star Manor, I'm still born from the same mother as my Elder Brother; the Second Owner of the Drunken Star Manor. Being here to receive Imperial Uncle is also justifiable, right?"
Wan Dongyang's smirking look made Nanfeng Lou so incensed that smoke was coming out of his orifices.
Within the secular world, the imperial power was supreme.
Nanfeng Lou was the Emperor, Nanfeng Yi's blood uncle. He represented the entire Imperial family. No matter how busy Wan Donghai was, he should also be here to welcome Nanfeng Lou right now.
However, Wan Donghai avoided meeting him. This was clearly showing one up on the Imperial Family.
This Pill Grading Assembly today had other motives!
"Humph! Looks like the Drunken Star Manor really makes light of the Imperial Family! Since that's the case, Qing-er, let's go!" Finishing, Nanfeng Lou really flicked his sleeves and left.
But Wan Dongyang did not have the slightest intention of stopping. He just smiled and watched Nanfeng Lou leave.
"Hang on, Imperial Uncle."
Right then, a slightly tender voice sounded out. It was Ye Yuan who tagged along with Ye Hang. When Nanfeng Lou heard this, he paused his footsteps.
Nanfeng Lou was clearly also an alchemy fanatic. He basically had no experience on how to handle such situations.
This situation was directed against the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion on the surface, but in reality, it was pointing straight at the Imperial Family. This fact was clear at a glance for those with discerning eyes.
If there was nobody present from the Imperial Family today, that would be equivalent to stepping back without even fighting.
Those people inside might not be loyal to the Imperial Family, but in the human world, it had always been the word 'benefits' that reigned above. There was not much difference to them who became the emperor.
Therefore, even if the Wan Family continued putting them down, Nanfeng Lou must not leave!
The Imperial Family must have somebody present in this Pill Grading Assembly. Or else, those fence-sitters who were kept in the dark would really lean towards the Su Family!
When Nanfeng Ruoqing saw that it was Ye Yuan, she also could not help being slightly surprised. She was also caught off-guard by this situation happening under her eyes and did not know what to do. Just as she was wavering on whether to leave or not, Ye Yuan called out timely.
"What you do want to say, little child?" Nanfeng Lou asked with a frown.
Ye Yuan ignored Nanfeng Lou. Instead, he copied the steward's voice and called out loudly, "Su Family's Family Head, Su Yulin arrives!"
Wan Dongyang's face changed while others were a little unsure, only to see Wan Donghai walking out in quick strides with a wide beam on his face.
Except, when he just came out, the grin on his face froze right there.
Seeing Nanfeng Lou and Ye Hang, Wan Donghai immediately knew that he fell for it!
Sweeping a glance over everyone's face only to see Ye Yuan looking at him merrily, Wan Donghai's face fell. It was this brat's doing again!
He already came out, so it was naturally not nice to go back in. He could only toughen his scalp to come forth to pay respects.
"Wan Donghai pays respects to Imperial Uncle, pays respects to Eldest Princess. Dongyang, seriously you; Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess arrived, why didn't you call me?" Wan Donghai did not give other people a chance to speak and lectured Wan Dongyang straightaway.
Wan Dongyang instantly understood and condemned himself as he said, "It's all my fault, owner. I saw that you were too busy back there and had no time to receive guests, so . . ."
"Shut up! Are Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess ordinary people?" Wan Donghai reprimanded as he turned to Nanfeng Lou and said, "My younger brother does not know any better. Imperial Uncle, please don't find fault."
Nanfeng Lou was about to speak when Ye Yuan started laughing loudly. "Manor Lord Wan, it's truly a waste for you to not become an actor. Hahaha, you're killing me! Hahaha, the two of you singing and chiming along together really cracks me up!"
Wan Donghai's face darkened. He was well aware that this brat had a sharp tongue. The more he spoke, the more he will be dragged into the gutter, so he might as well just ignore him.
However, Ye Yuan clearly did not have the intention of letting him off. He continued laughing and said, "Manor Lord Wan, you're such a fine dog. The moment you hear your owner arrived, you immediately ran out obediently. Just now, inside there, were you perking up your ears just to listen?"
"Ye Yuan, Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess are present. How can your insolence be tolerated!" Just a few sentences and Wan Donghai was on the verge of exploding again.
Chapter 193 - Don’t Interfere With My Posturing!
"Haha, Wan Donghai, you're really ballsy! You actually dare to talk this way to a Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple?" Ye Yuan suddenly kept away his smile and said icily.
Wan Donghai's expression changed when he heard that. He really forgot that Ye Yuan had already obtained the status of a Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple!
A Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple was even more exalted than a secular world emperor!
If there were no accidents, many of those among the core disciples would end up taking on important sect positions in the future!
In front of Ye Yuan, what did he, Wan Donghai, even count as?
"What? Could it be that in Manor Lord Wan's eyes, that master of yours is even more exalted than me, the high sect's core disciple? I've already stood here for a long time, and you don't even know how to come out to greet me!" Ye Yuan became fiercer as he spoke.
Wan Donghai's old face became like a chameleon, changing multiple colors already.
He loathed in his heart!
Even though he knew that this was Ye Yuan assuming the majesty of the tiger, there wasn't the slightest bit he could do to him.
Ye Yuan's present identity was overly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e!
In front of so many people, how could Wan Donghai dare be disrespectful to the high sect's core disciple? If he really did that, then even if he got rid of Ye Yuan, if the matter reached the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he, Wan Donghai, would die a thousand times over!
The power of a sect was simply unimaginable to the secular world. As an Alchemy Grandmaster, Wan Donghai was naturally even more deeply aware of this point!
"En? Could it be that I, the high sect's core disciple, is still lacking the status for you to pay respects?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.
Wan Donghai gritted his teeth and was about to pay obeisance when a voice sounded out. "You haven't even entered the sect yet. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is really overbearing! Which rule in the sect allows disciples to abuse power and bully others?"
Everyone turned around when they heard that only to see three people arriving jointly; two elderly and one young.
The two elderly were not others, but precisely Su Yulin and Su Yubai, and that young one walking in the center could also be considered an old acquaintance of Ye Yuan's. Who could it be other than Yang Hao?
That voice just now was precisely uttered by Yang Hao.
When Wan Donghai saw Yang Hao, it was like he was granted amnesty. He hastily went forward to pay respects. "Wan Donghai pays respect to Mister Yang!"
Yang Hao casually waved his hands to motion Wan Donghai to rise. He then said to Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you're the one in the wrong here. When we, sect disciples, go outside, we have to win people over by virtue. How can we force others to pay obeisance?"
The current Yang Hao had recovered that sort of high and above attitude, compared to what happened during their previous encounter.
Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just looked towards Yang Hao's back as if he was looking for something.
Yang Hao could not help being puzzled. He followed Ye Yuan's sight to the back but did not see anything. However, he
quickly realized what Ye Yuan's meaning was, and his old face involuntarily turned red as he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
This was a threat! A blatant threat!
If Ye Yuan were to tell the events of the fire battle in front of so many people, what face did he have left to stay on?
Forget about staying here, he could not even stay on in the State of Qin!
A high-rank Alchemy Master battling fire with a low-rank Alchemy Master, and the result was being burned by him until his behind was exposed. The majesty of him, this Tranquil Cloud Sect's core disciple, would become non-existent!
Furthermore, a veteran core disciple who actually could not even win a newbie who had yet to be initiated. What kind of gaze would others look at him with?
The crowd was uncertain, so they also followed Ye Yuan's eyes to look over, but did not discover anything. They did not know what Ye Yuan was trying to mystify.
However, they saw Yang Hao's expression and knew that there was definitely something that happened between the two of them.
It was just that Ye Yuan kept smiling like this without saying anything. They also did not know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Doing nothing but just looking!
"Ye Yuan, if you dare to speak of that matter, I guarantee that you will die a horrible death!" Yang Hao transmitted his voice to threaten.
"Aiyo, I'm timid. Don't scare me, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang! I have a problem. Once I'm intimidated by someone, I can't control my mouth. If I were to spill the beans, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang mustn't blame me," Ye Yuan replied through transmission.
"You! Truly despicable! Fine, what do you want so that you won't say a single thing?" Yang Hao had no choice but to give in.
"Uh, haven't thought of it yet. For now, don't interfere with my posturing and that will do. I had a hard time before I made it through the Nine Heavens Road and obtained core disciple status. You got to at least let me posture here in the secular world. Otherwise, when I arrive at the sect, I'll be at the bottom of the barrel. Even if I want to posture then, I wouldn't be able to," Ye Yuan said.
