  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 acc.u.mulated 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 - Distributing Wealth

  "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, "The 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 po
ints. 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 s.u.c.k.e.d 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 - Not Lacking Money

  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 c.a.r.e.s.sed 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 fl.u.s.teredly.

  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?

  "My question was somewhat impetuous. Back then, Master did not have much lifespan left but suddenly disappeared. I guessed that he could have left for the Nine Heavens Road. Master's life aspiration was to revive the Tranquil Cloud Sect, then charge back to the Northern Domain! For this, he did not mind sacrificing his flesh body to enter the Nine Heavens Road as a divine soul. It was truly a wax torch becoming completely dry! With the heaven's blessings, Master managed to wait until you arrived. I believe that Master must have been overjoyed then!"

  From Xiao Jian's words, Ye Yuan could tell that he truly understood Lu Yan very well. The truth was not far off from his conjectures.

  "In future, when my longevity approaches its limit, I'll definitely follow in Master's footsteps and seek out a successor for the sect!" Xiao Jian said decisively.

  Ye Yuan heart was moved, but he shook his head and said, "Hall Head Xiao, perhaps you master and disciple still can meet again someday. Why say something so despondent?"

  Xiao Jian thought that Ye Yuan was consoling him. He waved his hands and said, "I originally thought that I would never hear news about Master again in this lifetime. I didn't think that he actually let you bring the Canghua Sword out. Ye Yuan, I know that you're not some small creature that will stay in the pond. I only hope that you'll treat Canghua well and be good to my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"

  Other than taking a look at the Canghua Sword, this was probably Xiao Jian's biggest goal.

  With the performance at the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing plus t
he Thousand Flowing Petals that Mo Yuntian saw before, Xiao Jian could already tell that Ye Yuan was absolutely not something the tiny Tranquil Cloud Sect could retain.

  Just like Lu Yan, Xiao Jian only hoped that Ye Yuan would remember the Tranquil Cloud Sect's nurturing and not forget where he came from. That was all.

  As for the strength of the sect, it was not the work of a single day. Unless Ye Yuan were willing to pour his entire life's effort into this place, otherwise, it would clearly be impossible to strengthen the Tranquil Cloud Sect within a few short decades.

  Ye Yuan himself said it, entering the sect was only for the experience. His real backing was that unfathomable master!

  Hearing Xiao Jian said these, Ye Yuan knew that the goal of him pulling out that fictional master of his had already been achieved.

  The Tranquil Cloud Sect was just a stopover on his path to the top. It was impossible for him to halt for too long here. If the sect entrusted all of its hopes on him, then that would be a catastrophic mistake.

  Ye Yuan did not have so much time. He had to return to the Divine Realm as soon as possible!

  Of course, Ye Yuan would do everything he could to help the Tranquil Cloud Sect. As for to what degree they could develop to, that would have to depend on the sect's fortune.

  "Rest assure, Hall Head Xiao, I'll always be a part of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Ye Yuan just replied lightly with this sentence.

  This was already his greatest promise.

  "Haha, good! It's enough to hear this sentence from you!" Xiao Jian said with a chuckle.

  . . . . . .

  Leaving Xiao Jian's place, Ye Yuan did not return but went to the refining room again.

  In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, elders and above had their own refining rooms, while the refining rooms used by disciples were communal.

  Same as the cultivation rooms, using the refining rooms always required the expenditure of points.

  However, when Pill Hall disciples used the refining rooms to craft finished products, they could sell a portion to the sect to exchange for points.

  Hence, every time Pill Hall disciples used the refining rooms, they would prepare ample ingredients to refine many medicinal pills in one shot.
