  Ye Yuan's voice fell, and the group of elders furrowed their brows.

  Understanding the habits and characteristics of herbs was the essential skill that every alchemist had to do.

  Those present here were all Quasi-Alchemy Kings. Their basic skills were naturally not lousy to the point where it was hopeless. It was just that their so-called research was far worse compared to Ye Yuan's

  The Violet Night Weed and Verdant Nether Orchid were comparatively rare Tier 1 herbs. Their accompanying lifeforms were mostly some materials that did not enter the rankings. Could it be that these substandard materials could detoxify instead?

  What kind of joke was this!

  "To talk about the common accompanying lifeform for these two types of herbs, it should be none other than Clear Joy Grass. You're not telling me that the Clear Joy Grass can resolve the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood, are you?"

  In the end, it was the Pill Hall's Hall Head, Ouyang Yu who said the answer first.

  Except, he had never heard of the Clear Joy Grass being able to treat poison!

  The Clear Joy Grass was only an herb which did not make the rankings. It would occasionally be used as the supplementary material for low-grade Tier 1 medicinal pills. It was simply unable to appear on the stage.

  But Ye Yuan was indifferent to it. He smiled and said, "Hall Head Ouyang is indeed incredible to say out the answer to quickly. That's right, the thing that can treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood is precisely the Clear Joy Grass!"

  "Hahaha, this old man has never heard of the Clear Joy Grass having the effects to detoxify! Truly preposterous! Ye Yuan, you aren't thinking that us, these Pill Hall elders, are ornamental, right? You even dare to crack this sort of juvenile joke with us!" Ouyang Yu burst into laughter and had the feeling of being duped.

  Ye Yuan said solemnly, "I'm not joking around! You guys haven't tested it out. How do you know that the Clear Joy Grass cannot treat poison?"

  "Clear Joy Grass is merely a most common kind of herb, completely unable to get a tier. Its characteristics and usage have long been developed to its limits. Even being the supplementary ingredient for a Tier 1 medicinal pill is somewhat forceful. How can this sort of thing possibly treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood?" Ouyang Ming countered.

  "Presumptuous and opinionated. You say that it's developed to the limits. That's just what you think. In reality, any pairing with two kinds of ingredients is possible to produce effects that you can't imagine. And how many types have you tested out? Even for Tier 1 ingredients, how many do you truly understand?" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.

  Ouyang Yu was just about to refute but saw Luo Qingfeng wave his hand and said, "There's no need to argue. Yes or no, do a test and we will know."

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Haha, Sect Master is logical. Today, I'll take it as you guys got off cheaply. I'll just go along and refine this True Rising Spirit Pill to let you see what the real True Rising Spirit Pill looks like!"

  "Humph! Shameless boasting!" Ouyang Ming snorted frostily.

  . . . . . .

  At a refining room, Pill Hall.

  All of them went to the room.

  Ye Yuan handed the True Rising Spirit Pill formula to Luo Qingfeng. Luo Qingfeng ordered someone to prepare the ingredients.

  Ye Yuan's pill formula was naturally higher level than the one developed by the Pill Hall. But this pill formula was of no importance to Ye Yuan. He was indifferent about giving it to them.

  "Tsk tsk, indeed a sect. Much higher level than the Dan Wu Academy's refining room!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration after entering the refining room.

  "Rubbish! The Dan Wu Academy is only our sect's outer dojo. How can it compare to the Pill Hall? The ingredients are prepped, why haven't you hurry up and refine the pill?" Yao Qian said.

  "Sigh, I was just expressing my emotions. Elder Yao doesn't need to target everything at me, right? Elder Yao, you're anxious to acknowledge a master, but honestly speaking, I don't really want to accept you as a disciple," Ye Yuan said with a snicker.

  "I hope you can still laugh in a while!"

  Ye Yuan did not squabble. He went to the operation station directly and started to refine the medicinal embryo.

  "En? Why is he using hands to grab? Doesn't he need to weigh it out?"

  "Why do I feel more and more that this Ye Yuan untrustworthy? This brat isn't thinking of bringing everyone to play along with him because he knows he's dead for sure, right?"

  "I feel the same way! The Clear Joy Grass being able to treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood. It sounds ludicrous no matter how I listen to it."

  Once Ye Yuan's hand grabbing refining method came out, it immediately aroused a wave of confusion.

  Chapter 230 - Compensation

  Ouyang Yu looked at Ye Yuan's hand grabbing refining method and could not help frowning.

  He already saw the pill formula that Ye Yuan gave him. Other than the Cloud Net Fruit switching to Verdant Nether Orchid and adding in Clear Joy Grass, the other ingredients were basically the same.

  But the refining method in Ye Yuan's pill formula was very different from the one they researched out.

  Flame intensity, medicinal embryo, extraction, and such, there were many subtle differences.

  As the Pill Hall's Hall Head, Ouyang Yu's alchemy skill level was naturally beyond doubt. He could instinctively feel that if refined according to Ye Yuan's pill formula, the quality of the Medicinal pill would surely go up a level!

  That was also to say that Ye Yuan's True Rising Spirit Pill formula was much more m.a.t.u.r.e than the one they developed!

  Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan could prove that Clear Joy Grass could indeed neutralize the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood.

  Ouyang Yu's basic skills were very solid. When refining pills himself, the weight of the herbs he casually grabbed was not far off.

  However, that was only not far off. He still needed to go through equipment to let the quantity of the herbs be more accurate.

  The higher the tier of the Medicinal pill, the more precise the herb quantity needed to be. He did not dare to use some hand grabbing refining method.

  But that did not stop him from watching Ye Yuan use this hand grabbing refining method.

  From the herb quantity that Ye Yuan grabbed each time, it should be roughly the same as the quantity noted on the pill formula.

  But could he guarantee it was that precise?

  Even for Tier 1 Medicinal pills, the more precise, the higher the success rate and quality. Ye Yuan doing it like this should be him not taking this refinement to heart, right?

  There was no way he could reach the degree of accuracy on the pill formula with just a casual grab. This was too heaven-defying!

  Anyway, he just had to prove that Clear Joy Grass could neutralize the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood, and Ye Yuan could be considered to have won.

  Because Ouyang Yu knew that if it could really resolve the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin, Ye Yuan's pill formula was indeed stronger than the True Rising Spirit Pill that they developed!

  The allegations of stealing would naturally be impossible to determine!

  Even so, the sturdiness of Ye Yuan's basic skills already surpassed the vast majority of Alchemy Grandmasters! There were even many Pill Hall elders who were inferior to Ye Yuan.

  However, Ouyang Yu did not say it. He just quietly watched Ye Yuan extract and refine the medicinal embryo.

  The refinement process was faster than they thought. The refinement of Tier 1 herbs was less than worthless to Ye Yuan. It naturally would not take up too much time.

  "The medicinal embryo is extracted and refined. Hall Head Ouyang, come and inspect if there's toxin or not." Ye Yuan passed the vessel over to Ouyang Yu.

  Ouyang Yu took the vessel to take a look, but his expression changed.

  The medicinal embryo that Ye Yuan refined was crystal clear like it was a dark green crystal ball.

  Ouyang Yu had n
ever seen anyone who could extract and refine medicinal embryo so exquisitely. It was simply a work of art!

  Ouyang Yu had refined countless pills but secretly judged that he was unable to do it to such a level.

  Could it be that there really was a powerful alchemist master behind this Ye Yuan?

  Otherwise, with Ye Yuan's age, how could he possibly cultivate such impeccable alchemy skills?

  "Hall Head Ouyang, don't be in a daze. Quickly use a profound silver needle to inspect whether this medicinal embryo has toxins or not. I still need to refine the medicinal pill." Ye Yuan urged upon seeing the situation.

  Ouyang Yu awoke and glared fiercely at Ye Yuan. Then, he retrieved a profound silver needle and stabbed it into the medicinal embryo.

  Similar to mortals using a silver needle to check for poison, alchemists use profound silver needles to check for poison.

  The profound silver needle in Ouyang Yu's hands was a high-rank magic artifact. It could detect all poison under Tier 4. That naturally included the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin.

  Ouyang Yu pulled out the profound silver needle and his brows knitted together slightly.

  "R-Really no toxin! Could it be that the Clear Joy Grass can really resolve the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin?"

  "No way? The Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin is renowned for being an incurable poison. The detoxifying method is actually so simple?"

  "Although this sort of poison isn't very amazing, it can secretly affect a martial artist's bodily functions without their knowledge, ultimately turning the martial artist into a cripple. This was a poison that nobody could resolve in the Endless World for the past few millenniums. It was actually resolved just like this?"

  Seeing the profound silver needle without a single trace, the group of elders could not help exclaiming in shock and sighing.

  While amid the crowd, Yao Qian's face was currently ashen.

  The Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin was resolved, meaning he already lost the bet! Could it be that he, a dignified Quasi-Alchemy King, actually had to acknowledge an Alchemy Master as his master?

  This . . . was simply an unprecedented shame!

  If this matter were to spread out, how would he establish authority in the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Even if those disciples did not dare to say anything in front of him, they would probably gesticulate behind his back, right?

  "Now, this can prove my innocence, right?" Ye Yuan said lightly.

  Ouyang Yu's, Ouyang Ming's, and other's expression changed and were unwilling to follow up.

  Luo Qingfeng and the others, however, did not understand. He could not help asking, "Hall Head Ouyang?"

  Ouyang Yu gritted his teeth and nodded, counting as acknowledging Ye Yuan's words.

  This sort of matter could not be faked. He had no choice but to admit it.

  Luo Qingfeng also sighed in relief secretly when he heard that and said, "Since that's the case, Ye Yuan's crime of stealing the pill formula is unfounded. It's just that this medicinal pill is the foundation for my Tranquil Cloud Sect. Ye Yuan, you're not allowed to sell it in the secular world! To compensate for the misunderstanding this time, the sect will award you 10 thousand points. I hope that you won't resent the sect because of this case."

  As the master of a sect, these words from Luo Qingfeng were already considered a subtle apology.

  If it were an ordinary disciple, the trial would just be over. How could the sect master possibly say this kind of words? But Ye Yuan was different! He was too monstrous!

  The talent that Ye Yuan displayed was overly monstrous! Since it was proven that Ye Yuan did not harbor ill intent, the sect naturally had to nurture with full force and rope him in!

  Such a genius figure was where the hope of the sect laid. He would naturally be viewed as precious treasure!

  Ye Yuan obviously had the sense to appreciate the favor. He gave a bow towards Luo Qingfeng and said, "Sect Master is also considering the safety of the sect. Why would Ye Yuan bear a grudge? However . . . dare I ask, Sect Master, whether the bet earlier . . . is counted or not?"

  Murmuring!

  When Ye Yuan's words came out, everyone's gaze looked towards Yao Qian.

  Yao Qian's old face turned crimson red instantly as he felt pent up.

  "This . . ." Luo Qingfeng was also stumped by Ye Yuan.

  While Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao level somewhat surpassed expectations, to make a Quasi-Alchemy King acknowledge him as master, Luo Qingfeng felt that it was still somewhat nonsensical.

  This way, how would Yao Qian dare to meet anyone in the future?

  Ye Yuan had a surprised look as he said, "Elder Yao, you aren't going to renege, are you? Well, I know that asking a Quasi-Alchemy King to acknowledge me as a master is somewhat hard on you, but from a certain point of view, my Alchemy Dao standards have already surpassed yours. Hence, you acknowledging me as master seems to be justifiable!"

  This was naturally Ye Yuan's humble words. His Alchemy Dao level was far from just surpassing Yao Qian's from a certain perspective. With Yao Qian's standards, he was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan.

  However, looking at this old man who nearly killed him being forced to yield, Ye Yuan had unspeakable delight in his heart!

  Right then, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of something and whispered a few words by Luo Qingfeng's ears.

  Luo Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Various hall heads, elders, this matter is concluded. What are we still waiting here for? Why haven't you left quickly?"

  Chapter 231 - Price

  Ye Yuan just stared at Yao Qian with a smile.

  Yao Qian's face was so shock stricken that it was about to drip water. He stood there motionless, unable to leave.

  The group of elders' expression was weird as they left the refinement room. Of course, there was sympathy amidst the oddness.

  "Yii, Elder Ouyang hasn't left yet. Can it be that you want to acknowledge me as your master together with Elder Yao?"

  Ouyang Ming actually wanted to leave too. But his relation with Yao Qian was intimate. Leaving just like this was not very good.

  Furthermore, this incident, Yao Qian was also implicated by him. If he left, it would be too disloyal.

  Ouyang Ming's face repeatedly wavered, not knowing how to follow up.

  The bet was between Ye Yuan and Yao Qian. Sect Master Luo making everyone leave was already considering Yao Qian's face. It was not suitable for others to intervene.

  "What are you still standing there for, Elder Ouyang? Leave!" Luo Qingfeng had not left but shouted at Ouyang Ming instead.

  Ouyang Ming looked at Yao Qian awkwardly. Yao Qian s.u.c.k.e.d in deeply and said, "You leave first. I know what to do."

  "This . . ." Ouyang Ming more or less felt relief from a tensed heart. But he obviously could not show it on the surface.

  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 c.h.e.s.t 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!
