"M-Master, Disciple was fortunate to not have failed the assignment and finally refined the Essence Vigor Pill!"
Although dead tired, Xiao Ruyan appeared rather excited.
The use of the Essence Vigor Pill was to help martial artists recover blood essence. It was very hard to refine High-Level Tier 3 medicinal pill.
To Xiao Ruyan, the Essence Vigor Pill was exceptionally difficult to refine. With her past standards, it was simply impossible to refine.
Yet, during this half a day period, under Ye Yuan's guidance, she actually refined successfully like water flowing when a channel was formed.
Ye Yuan had quite a number of medicinal herbs left on hand. Scraping it all together, he pooled two portions of medicinal herbs to refine the Essence Vigor Pill.
In order not to waste the medicinal herbs, Ye Yuan made Xiao Ruyan simulate many times before agreeing to her getting to work on refining.
Not surprising, the first portion was refined into a wasted dreg by her.
Later on, she simulated many more times. On the second refinement, Xiao Ruyan actually directly refined a Middle-Grade Essence Vigor Pill!
Xiao Ruyan was still drenched in sweat and actually had an aberrant style charm, making Ye Yuan's head swim.
"Cough, cough. You've worked hard,"Ye Yuan said rather embarrassedly.
But Xiao Ruyan was in a state of exhilaration right now and did not notice Ye Yuan's embarrassment. Wiping the sweat on her forehead, she said, "Not hard, not hard! Through this half a day of refining, Disciple completely has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened all at once! The things that Disciple learned in this half a day is simply even more than the things I've learned in the past few years!"
Xiao Ruyan was not praising Ye Yuan because she had affections for him, but because she really had this sort of feeling.
With Ye Yuan's horizons, he had long had a well thought out plan on Xiao Ruyan's merits and shortcomings. Guiding Xiao Ruyan was naturally highly tailored to her needs.
Quietly, Xiao Ruyan unconsciously took the place of the disciple character and really learned alchemy skills from Ye Yuan.
Alchemists all had this neurotic trait. Once they immerse into alchemy skills, they would completely be unable to extricate themselves.
Moreover, what Ye Yuan brought to Xiao Ruyan was a brand new world; it was a world that she had never imagined before in the past.
"Haha. This isn't considered much. You have to study the jade slip I gave you well. It will be of great assistance to you. But presently, we don't have the time. After I alleviate Miss Li-er's symptoms in a little while, we'll immediately head back to the Tranquil Cloud Sect," Ye Yuan said.
"Ugh . . ." Muttering and muffled groans sounded. Li-er finally slowly woke up.
"Senior!" When Xiao Ruyan saw the situation, she immediately went to support her.
Although she woke up, Li-er was still feeling groggy. A piercing pain would occasionally transmit from her brain.
"I . . . How long was I unconscious?" Li-er supported her forehead with her hand and asked rather painfully.
"Senior, you've already fainted for the greater part of a day already. Master and I were very worried about your safety. Are you better now?" Xiao Ruyan said.
"Master?" Li-er did not quite react yet. Involuntarily lifting her head, she just happened to meet with Ye Yuan's gaze.
"So, you're already awake . . ." Li-er suddenly did not quite know how to face Ye Yuan. After all, her appearance was rather unexpected.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. Fortunately, there was Miss Li-er helping to guard my heart meridian. Otherwise, I would probably have croaked long ago already. Great kindness can't be thanked with words. Miss Li-er's sickness, leave it to Ye Yuan."
Li-er's eyelids drooped slightly as she said, "So, you already know it's me . . . But Li-er didn't help Mister Ye for the sake of carrying out this transaction with you."
Although Li-er's words were quite calm, Ye Yuan still detected a hint of her sullen anger.
"This Ye isn't making a deal with Miss Li-er either. This is a promise. I'm true to my words. No matter how arduous this promise is, this Ye will definitely accomplish it!" Ye Yuan said composedly.
Li-er trembled slightly. She could feel Ye Yuan's sincerity and resolution.
Accompanying along the way, she had a great understanding of what kind of person Ye Yuan was as well. Ye Yuan saying such words, even if he were to die, he would also fulfill his promise!
This man was absolutely true to his words!
"Thank you . . ." Li-er did not decline and just lightly said these two words.
"Miss Yue accompanied all the way and moved to help out many times. This grace, Ye Yuan engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, if not for Miss Yue making a move this time, this Ye would surely be disgraced to death. Want to thank, it's also me thanking Miss. Moreover . . . in order to save me, Miss did not stint on drawing on the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, resulting in your health condition deteriorating. If this Ye doesn't cure Miss, even I myself won't forgive myself!" Ye Yuan said.
This shock that Li-er received was not small. She said in astonishment, "You . . . You actually know my surname?"
Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "I should have guessed it long ago! The last time I met Miss Yue, you were just a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. This Ye even thought that the Lower Realms gave birth to such a monstrous spirit physique again. Thinking about it now, a natural-born Moonlight Heavenly Eye physique, apart from the Bright Moon City's Yue Family, who else could have such an innate spirit physique?"
With Ye Yuan said this, Li-er was even more shocked beyond belief. "You actually even know about Bright Moon City! You . . . Just who are you?"
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "This Ye has my own difficulties. This point isn't convenient to disclose."
Li-er was unbelievably amazed and actually forgot about her headache for a moment. How did a Lower Realms' puny little martial artist know about the Divine Realm's Bright Moon City?
The Bright Moon City's Yue Family was renowned throughout the Divine Realm for their ocular arts. And the person who possesses the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, casting ocular arts would even be several times more powerful than ordinary people!
And even for the Yue Family, those who possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye was extremely, extremely few too.
These were all not secrets in the Divine Realm. But Ye Yuan was just a lower realm martial artist with an ordinary background. Just how in the world did he know this information?
Li-er had a belly full of doubts and suspicions, but she also knew Ye Yuan's character. Since he said that it was inconvenient to disclose, he clearly had things that he found hard to say. She naturally would not press on either.
"Alright then . . . Since Mister Ye even knows about Bright Moon City, then I'll re-introduce myself. I'm called Yue Mengli. I'm precisely a member of the Bright Moon City's Yue Family," Yue Mengli s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said.
"Yue Mengli . . . It is as the name suggests. It's a fine name!" Ye Yuan reminisced this name.
At this instant, Ye Yuan's thoughts drifted back to the one and only time he went to Bright Moon City in his previous life.
At that time, he answered Bright Moon City's invitation and went to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill for the Bright Moon City Lord.
During this trip, he happened to see a girl akin to rouge and jade once in Bright Moon City. And that girl's name seemed to be called . . . Yue Mengli!
Recalling it now, Ye Yuan finally superimposed that girl's looks and the Yue Mengli before his eyes together.
Were the transitions in life actually so coincidental . . .
"Sigh . . . What's the point of a good name either? Everyone says that beautiful girls often have tragic lives. To think that I can't escape being strung along by fate either," Yue Mengli said with a dimmed expression.
Ye Yuan recollected his thoughts and said, "Miss Yue doesn't need to be like this. The word crisis
conceals profound secrets. As long as you can resolve the conflict between these two kinds of spirit physiques, not only will Miss Yue be no different from ordinary people, you'll even break out from the cocoon to become a butterfly, and become a peerlessly powerful existence!"
Chapter 443 - Reuniting
Ye Yuan's words did not improve Yue Mengli's mood much, looking as if she did not have much interest in becoming a peerless powerhouse.
"Sigh. So what if invincible under the heaven? Forget it, forget it; don't talk about this anymore. Didn't you say that only by refining a Tier 8 Medicinal pill can you let my divine soul divide? But you . . ." Yue Mengli said.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed so. Furthermore, you using the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye this time already hurt the divine soul further. This caused your condition's flare-up to move forward some time. Right now, you . . . most likely only have two years left."
Yue Mengli muttered under her breath, "Only two years huh . . ."
Ye Yuan said, "Miss Yue don't need to be disheartened. Although I'm unable to refine Tier 8 medicinal pills within two years, I have ways to delay the flare-up of the condition."
"Oh? What ways?"
"I wonder if Miss Yue has heard of the Azure Spirit Tree before?"
Yue Mengli nodded and said, "It's said that there's a type of tree with a soul that can absorb the quintessence of heaven and earth. It can even give produce intelligence and cultivate like humans!"
"That's right! The Azure Spirit Tree's tree trunk can secrete a kind of liquid named Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. This kind of fluid can nourish and repair the divine soul. Although it can't eradicate your illness thoroughly, it can delay the time of flare up for your divine soul being torn apart, and lessen your pain. These two years' time, I'll think of ways to find the Azure Spirit Tree. If Miss Yue can mobilize the Yue Family's forces to search for this tree, that would be for the best," Ye Yuan said.
"Mobilize the Yue Family's strength is it . . ." Yue Mengli seemed to be rather unwilling.
Ye Yuan did not know what happened with Yue Mengli and the Yue Family. Presumably, there was some problems going around, so he advised, "Doesn't matter. There are still two years. I'll definitely find the Azure Spirit Tree for you!"
Yue Mengli nodded and said, "Then, thank you very much, Mister Ye."
Ye Yuan said, "Miss Yue wait for me for half a day first. I just happen to still have some medicinal herbs on hand that can help you make some medicinal soup. Although it's not very effective against your condition, it can alleviate the agony of your divine soul ripping."
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan swallowed the Essence Vigor Pill that Xiao Ruyan refined and spent several hours on refining the medicinal strength. His injuries finally improved a little, and he could use some essence energy too.
Ye Yuan came in front of the Square Cauldron and injected some essence energy inside. The Square Cauldron's radiance showed slightly.
Next, Ye Yuan retrieved several medicinal herbs from his storage ring and threw them into the Square Cauldron according to a fixed ratio.
Very soon, those medicinal herbs turned into a pool of juice water.
Ye Yuan used utensils to ladle the juice water and passed it to Yue Mengli.
"This . . ." Yue Mengli said hesitantly.
Martial artists were not foreign to alchemy. But this sort of mixed medicinal soup was not often seen.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This is Five Flower Heart Calming Soup. It's refined using five types of Tier 4 medicinal herb flower petals. It has the effects of calming one's nerves. While it's not some miracle panacea, it can alleviate your headache symptom. You try it."
Yue Mengli did not doubt Ye Yuan's words and directly tilted her head back and drank it.
Very soon, Yue Mengli felt like a gust of cool breeze blew past her divine soul; comfortable to the max. Her initially somewhat agitated emotions calmed down too at this time.
Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan and exclaimed in shock, "A few stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs can actually formulate out such a miraculous medicinal soup! To think that Tier 4 medicinal herbs could actually have an effect on me! Truly inconceivable!"
With Yue Mengli's realm, Tier 4 medicinal pills were simply of not much effect at all.
But Ye Yuan used five types of Tier 4 medicinal herb flower petals and could actually formulate out a medicinal soup that was effective on her. How could she not be astounded?
"It just has the effect of calming one's mind. It has no effect on your ailment at all," Ye Yuan said helplessly.
His present realm was too low. At the very best, he could only refine Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. It did not have any effect on Yue Mengli at all.
"This is already very impressive!" Yue Mengli sighed in admiration.
"Yeah, Master! This is simply too miraculous! How did you do it? You must teach me later!" Xiao Ruyan also gasped with admiration.
She was long stupefied from watching by the side!
In this short while, Yue Mengli's complexion was already much better compared to before.
One had to know that Yue Mengli was a character who was even more powerful than the wind emperor. A couple of Tier 4 medicinal herb mixed together actually had an effect on her!
"You want to learn, so I'll just teach you later on. But you'd best not reach for what's beyond your grasp. One step at a time. In here requires the use of the formations path. With your present standards, you're unable to concoct it," Ye Yuan said.
"Fine. I'll just slowly learn! Stingy!" Xiao Ruyan pursed her lips and actually acted like a spoiled little girl.
Facing two beauties, Ye Yuan also involuntarily had a feeling of being very fortunate in love affairs.
But Ye Yuan did not have the energy to be immersed in love right now. He was rather worried about the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Ye Yuan released Mo Yuntian and the rest from the spatial spirit artifact. They still had vacant looks.
During this period of time, Ye Yuan did not undo their divine soul inhibitions all along.
This sort of divine soul inhibitions was different from slave seals. It could be broken to restore one's freedom.
After planting a slave seal, the slave would not recognize other people as their master. Furthermore, there would also frequently be transactions and transfers between slaves. Placing slave seals clearly would not do.
Hence, when selling slaves, most would set inhibitions on their divine souls to make it convenient for the owners to control.
Ye Yuan reached his divine soul into Mo Yuntian's sea of consciousness.
Xiao Ruyan was taken aback from fright. She hurriedly said, "What are you doing, Master? Their divine souls had inhibitions placed by an extremely powerful figure. A moment of carelessness will damage their divine souls!"
Ye Yuan cautiously helped Mo Yuntian remove the inhibitions while having enough strength to spare to say to Xiao Ruyan, "Just some trifling tricks."
Indeed, in an instant, Mo Yuntian's gaze gradually recovered its clarity.
When he saw Ye Yuan in front of him, hot tears immediately flowed as he said, "Ju-Junior Brother! I didn't think that I could still see you one day!"
Seeing Mo Yuntian like this, Ye Yuan did not feel good in his heart either. This trip deep into the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan could be said to have nine chances to die and one chance to live, and nearly lost his life several times.
In the end, if not for Yue Mengli making a move, he would even be humiliated by Zhao Tianyin to death!
Thinking now, it was still riddled with tribulations.
"Everything is over, all over . . ." Ye Yuan comforted.
The two people made some small talk, and Ye Yuan started to remove the divine soul restrictions for the others.
When the group of seniors saw Ye Yuan once again, they were all filled with a multitude of feelings, and immediately gave rise to the feeling of life after surviving a disaster.
The few people made some small talk
for a while when Ye Yuan suddenly said with a sigh, "Sadly, Elder Mei was imprisoned in the depths of the royal palace back then. I didn't save him in time before my identity was discovered. Sigh . . ."
Yue Mengli who had been silently watching these seniors thank Ye Yuan for the entire time by the side opened her mouth when she heard Ye Yuan mentioned Mei Zhen at this time, "I forgot to tell you. Elder Mei has already been rescued."
As she said, Yue Mengli's finger twitched. Two figures appeared in front of everyone.
Very clearly, Yue Mengli also had an item similar to a spatial spirit artifact.
One of them was precisely Mei Zhen who had not been seen for a long time!
While the other person was naturally Yue Mengli's maid, Yan-er.
"Miss, why did you only let me out now! I was almost stifled to death!" Yan-er said unhappily.
Chapter 444 - Sect Upheaval!
"Elder Mei!"
When everyone saw Mei Zhen, they were all overjoyed!
Even Ye Yuan also looked at Yue Mengli with an astounded look, wanting to know what was going here.
But he jumped in fright with this look. Yue Mengli changed into that sallow-faced ugly girl again. Furthermore, her realm became Crystal Formation Realm too.
Ye Yuan had just reunited with his seniors and actually did not when Yue Mengli became like this.
But Ye Yuan was well aware in his heart that Yue Mengli did not wish to expose her identity.
And these seniors of Ye Yuan been through life and death several times and even had divine soul inhibitions placed by others. How would they still remember this ugly girl whom they had a chance encounter before?
Yue Mengli said, "When Mister Ye was facing off with the Wind Emperor, that mysterious expert sneaked into the royal palace and rescued Elder Mei, and handed him to me."
Yue Mengli turned herself into a mysterious expert, while she was just an ordinary martial artist. Furthermore, Ye Yuan even perceived the meaning behind these words. The reason why Yue Mengli arrived late was precisely in order to save Mei Zhen!
It was just that she misgauged the situation and thought that Star Abyss could help Ye Yuan withstand for a while.
