"There are still several people not yet here. But we've already received the news that they are already on the way. It's also a matter of these two days," Ren Yujie said.
"En. Then that's good. Oh right, that boy called Ye Yuan will be of vital importance to this meeting. What kind of strategy we take against the Fierce Gale World will all fall onto his brain. I made Xu Zihui go and invite him. I wonder if he's here yet or not?"
"Already here. I've already arranged for him to be at Fengya Pavilion. Speaking of this boy, he's really impressive too!' Ren Yujie said with glistening eyes.
"Oh? Impressive in what way?"
"Yesterday, Ye Yuan just entered the city. No idea how, he bumped onto Dong-er. The two of them actually carried out a pill fighting match!"
With this, Ren Xingchun's interest was aroused as he asked curiously, "Oh? There is still this incident? I heard that this boy's Martial Path is exceedingly formidable, even detaining Qin Hongtao's grandson. Could it be that he also has exceptionally high attainments in the Alchemy Path? What's the result of the two of their face-off?"
Ren Yujie snickered and said, "Why don't Father make a guess?"
"Hiss . . . Hearing your tone, could it be that Dong-er lost? Dong-er's talent is not at all inferior to Hongling's. It can't be to the extent where he lost to a boy from the countryside, right?"
Ren Yujie nodded his head; his eyes were clearly still carrying disbelief. "En. How is it just lost? It was simply an utter defeat! When I heard this news, I suspected that I heard wrongly myself too. For this, I even specially sent people to the Alchemist Association to inquire about it from Lord Wu Xuan, only to hear that this is true!"
Ren Xingchun briefly recounted the matter of Ye Yuan and Ren Dong battling on refining pills. Ren Xingchun drew a cold breath when he heard the story.
"Transcendent-grade medicinal pill? Even if this boy started cultivating in his mother's w.o.m.b, it's also not possible to be monstrous to such a degree, right?" Ren Xingchun said in disbelief.
"That I don't know. But this youngster called Ye Yuan, his background is indeed filled with mysteries," Ren Yujie said.
Ren Xingchun nodded and said, "This matter, I got it. You go and console Dong-er properly. He has been arrogant at heart and haughty in manner since young. He has never suffered such a setback before. If he make use of this setback properly, it will be a facilitation for him instead. Hongling is already thoroughly crippled. Our Ren Family's future hope is all on Dong-er. We must make sure that nothing goes wrong."
Hearing that, Ren Yujie's expression dimmed, wanting to speak. But he said nothing.
Chapter 502 - Finding People
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. Don't act like I'm a target for venting!' Ren Xingchun said unhappily.
Ren Yujie heaved a sigh and said, "So many years have passed already. The wood has become a boat. Father, you still can't let it go of it in your heart? You doing this, Younger Sister will hate you for the rest of your life!"
Boom!
Ren Xingchun slapped a palm down. The stone table in the pavilion immediately turned into a pile of powder.
"Hongling was originally the successor of my mantle with outstanding talent, but she was abducted by that stinking brat! Now, Hongling became a cripple because of that stinking brat. How do you want me to not be angry?"
Ren Xingchun suddenly seemed to have become another person, stern in voice and countenance.
"Father, it has already been so many years since the incident. Our Ren Family has Dong-er too. Brother-in-law brought Younger Sister back to apologize for their mistake. Isn't it good enough for our family to reunite together? Why must it be a life-and-death struggle?" Ren Yujie said carefully.
Although Ren Yujie already reached middle-age, he still did not dare to talk loudly in front of Ren Xingchun.
Ren Xingchun flicked his sleeves and said with a cold grunt, "It will be hard to vent the hatred in my heart for so many years without killing that stinking brat! Don't mention this matter again! After the meet this time passes, immediately carry out the death sentence on that punk!"
Ren Yujie shook his head and sighed again. Then turned around and left the courtyard.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan the four of them stayed at Feng Ya Pavilion. The next day, Skymaple was too impatient to wait and left the house on his own to look around Wu Fang City.
Of course, a part of the reason for him doing so was because he did not wish to hinder Ye Yuan and the two beauties' privacy.
Him, an old man, always hanging around young people, it seriously could not quite be justified.
"Master, let's go out to take a look too! Although this Wu Fang City isn't as big as our Central Capital, in terms of bustling degree, it's only greater and not lesser! Furthermore, I heard that just the Alchemy Sovereign experts here are close to as many as ten. This level of strength truly makes our Fierce Gale World look up to it!"
Ever since Xiao Ruyan broke away from her family's fetters, her entire person became much more cheerful. This happy look suited her age more.
But Ye Yuan did not have any interest in Wu Fang City. However, Xiao Ruyan, his eldest disciple, was in such a mood to enjoy things. It was not nice of him to brush off Xiao Ruyan's intention either.
As for Yue Mengli, she had an indifferent look. As long as it was accompanying by Ye Yuan's side, it would do.
The trio were just about to leave when Xu Zihui just happened to stop them.
"Young Master Ye, this is your high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King badge. I sent people early in the morning to help you retrieve it."
Xu Zihui already used honorifics when speaking. This trip here, he was already prostrating on all fours in admiration before Ye Yuan.
At a young age, not only could he cross a major realm to battle in terms of the Martial Path, he could even refine a high-level transcendent-grade Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill.
Such monstrous talent, just thinking about it made people despair!
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and received the badge. The three and a half stars on it twinkled.
Because Quasi-Alchemy King was similarly a special realm, being in-between Alchemy King and Alchemy Grandmaster, the Alchemist Association's badge had three and a half stars on it.
Ye Yuan casually threw the badge into the storage ring and did not have the intention of adorning it.
When Xu Zihui saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Alchemists being so casual with their badges . . . It was most likely just this guy, right?
In other people's view, after getting this badge, they would absolutely be like obtaining a supreme treasure, carefully pinning it on their c.h.e.s.t and finding it hard to take it down again.
But this Lord actually spurned it!
Ye Yuan kept the badge, but then he fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Xu Zihui. He said to him, "These few days, I've troubled Brother Zihui. Younger Brother isn't able to refine Tier 4 medicinal pills right now, so I can only use this medicinal pill to express my thanks. If Brother Zihui has any son or nephew descendant, it can come in handy."
These few days, Xu Zihui fussed around as if Ye Yuan was his master, serving him very meticulously.
Although he came here because he received Wu Fang City Lord's orders, Ye Yuan appreciated it too. Moreover, Ye Yuan gifting the pill was naturally because he still had a request.
Xu Zihui received the pill and took a look, and he could not help drawing a cold breath!
Transcendent-grade medicinal pill again!
"Young Master Ye, this medicinal pill . . ." Xu Zihui completely did not recognize this medicinal pill at all.
Ye Yuan smiled and explained, "This is a Sea Gathering Pill. It can allow someone to advance one minor realm in the Sea Transformation Realm unconditionally. If Brother Zihui has any Sea Transformation Realm son or nephew, why not let him give it a try."
"This . . . This medicinal pill is too valuable! I can't take it!" Hearing Ye Yuan'
s explanation, Xu Zihui immediately realized just how precious this medicinal pill was and hurriedly passed the medicinal pill back.
But Ye Yuan did not take it and said with a smile, "Brother Zihui, keep it. I still have a matter to request Brother Zihui."
Xu Zihui struggled briefly but still could not resist keeping the medicinal pill.
His son just broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. This medicinal pill came perfectly in time for him to use. Xu Zihui naturally could not bear to part with it and return it to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's medicinal pill was given with perfect timing.
"Then Zihui thanks Young Master Ye very much! My son just broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm and could just happen to use this Sea Gathering Pill. If Young Master Ye has any request, just say it. Zihui is incapable, but I can still say a few words in this Wu Fang City." Xu Zihui was already shedding tears of gratitude right now towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Haha, then I'll thank Brother Zihui first. Actually, I wish to ask Brother Zihui to help me find two people."
"Who?"
"These two people are a husband and wife pair. One is called Ye Hang. The other is called Ren Hongling."
Ever since Ye Hang and Ren Hongling left after leaving behind the letter, although Ye Yuan did not show it, he kept it in his heart all along.
Now that the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved north, Ye Yuan naturally had to inquire about his parents' news.
Wu Fang City's sphere of influence in the Northern Domain was massive. Requesting Xu Zihui to inquire about his parents' news was perfect.
When Xu Zihui heard 'Ren Hongling' these three words, his expression could not help changing.
But Ye Yuan took in Xu Zihui's expression into his sight and could not help but be surprised. He asked, "Is it possible that Brother Zihui knows these two?"
Xu Zihui lowered his voice and said, "It's really a coincidence. City Lord, His Excellency, has a daughter. Her name is called Ren Hongling too!"
Ye Yuan's mind flashed like lightning when he heard that. His parents had never talked about their backgrounds. Was it possible that Mother actually still had such a startling background?
Thinking of this, Ye Yuan was even more overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then where is that City Lord's daughter now?"
Xu Zihui sighed and said, "City Lord's daughter came to a prem.a.t.u.r.e end long ago already. It's too bad for an alchemy genius!"
"Oh? Why is this so?" Ye Yuan could not help becoming curious.
"Back that, City Lord's daughter had peerless talent. At the age of 18, she was already a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, greatly surpassing those of the same age! But sadly, the heaven is envious of the gifted. That Ren Hongling actually got inflicted with a terminal disease and left this world. City Lord, His Excellency, was even heartbroken over this for a long time."
Listening up to here, Ye Yuan already basically confirmed that this Ren Hongling was not the other Ren Hongling.
Because his mother did not have any trace of essence energy undulation in her body and was only a normal person. She naturally could not possibly be the City Lord's daughter in Xu Zihui's story.
Chapter 503 - Teach Me Alchemy
"Then it's really quite a pity," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
Xiao Ruyan was a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at 20 years old and was already a peak existence in the Fierce Gale World.
An 18 years old high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster was absolutely a peak existence in the Endless World.
Such monstrous talent but passed away young, it was indeed quite pitiful.
"Yeah. But the heaven does not cut off all paths. City Lord, His Excellency, later got another grandson that is Ren Dong. His talent is similarly a top existence when looking at the junior generation," Xu Zihui said.
Ye Yuan nodded his head. Regarding Ren Dong's talent, Ye Yuan did not have any disagreement.
To the Lower Realms, Ren Dong's talent was already rather decent.
Ye Yuan described Ye Hang's and Ren Hongling's looks and characteristics to Xu Zihui in detail, and he instructed, "These two people's news will be entrusted to Brother Zihui. If your son needs any medicinal pills, Brother Zihui doesn't need to be courteous. Just come and find me will do."
Xu Zihui was overjoyed when he heard it and hurriedly said, "I'll thank Young Master Ye on behalf of my son first."
Martial artists' cultivation could not do without medicinal pills. With Xu Zihui's strength and status, he naturally did not lack medicinal pills. But just looking from Ye Yuan casually taking out the Sea Gathering Pill, his Alchemy Path strength absolutely could not be compared to ordinary high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings.
Xu Zihui was Ninth-Level Soul Sea Realm strength and had mingled in Wu Fang City for so many years. His horizons were absolutely exceedingly high.
But he had never heard before a kind of medicinal pill which could unconditionally raise the level of Sea Transformation Realm by a minor realm.
This Ye Yuan's background was absolutely not ordinary!
Building up a good relationship with a future peerless powerhouse like this was absolutely worth it.
Seeing off Xu Zihui, Ye Yuan was just about to bring Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan out, but then he saw somebody was pacing around outside Feng Ya Pavilion's gates with a conflicted look.
Looking closely, who could it be but Ren Dong?
"Great Young Master Ren, it's not that you can't take a loss and want to take back the essence crystals, right?" Xiao Ruyan said derisively.
It was uncertain what Ren Dong was thinking about earlier and completely did not see Ye Yuan trio come out. Hearing Xiao Ruyan's words at this time, he involuntarily lifted his head and looked over.
With this look, Ren Dong could not help drawing in a deep breath.
This woman before his eyes was seriously absurdly beautiful. That exquisite face took Ren Dong's breath away.
Taking a look at Ye Yuan's side again, Yue Mengli's beauty was actually a level above Xiao Ruyan's!
Ren Dong's mind could not help short-circuiting. "This Miss, you are? Ah! You're not . . . not . . . that ugly girl yesterday, right?"
"Hey! You try saying that one more time!' Xiao Ruyan's expression instantly became cold.
Only then did Ren Dong come around to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Ah, no, Miss, I don't mean that. I was saying . . . was saying . . ."
Ren Dong thought for a long time and could not figure out how he should organize his words.
Those two ugly girls yesterday actually became celestial deity-like girls today with a sway of their bodies!
These two beauties before his eyes were simply even more gorgeous than all the women he had seen before added up!
He was still criticizing Ye Yuan's taste yesterday. He only discovered now that he was the real blind man!
Such remarkable beauties, being able to get one was already incredible fortune. Ye Yuan actually embraced one left and one right, enjoying the bliss of dual company to the max. Was this wanting to make every man in the world feel ashamed of their unworthiness?
No wonder these two beauties changed their looks to that appearance yesterday. Turns out that they were afraid of trouble.
Ren Dong did not know that his words yesterday thoroughly stimulated Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan.
Going out today, the two of them refused to disguise themselves no matter what. Xiao Ruyan even took care of her looks today meticulously, appearing ephemerally beautiful; such beauty was not what the mortal realm should possess.
The other girl, Yue Mengli, was a born beauty. She just recovered to her original appearance, and that already made the entire city's women fade in color.
Ye Yuan felt an endless headache too. Ignoring Xiao Ruyan, Yue Mengli's original disposition was very quiet and elegant and never cared about other people's view.
No idea what wrong medicine she took today to actually mess around together with Xiao Ruyan.
Actually, eve
n Yue Mengli herself probably did not understand either why she would care about her image so much.
"Say what? You dare to say that you didn't say it just now?" Xiao Ruyan pressed on the point to death.
Ren Dong forehead was covered in sweat. In front of Xiao Ruyan, he actually did not have that imposing manner yesterday.
"Sorry, sorry. It was me who have eyes but failed to see. To actually treat a mortal realm's absolute beauty like Miss as a commonplace girl. Truly a sin! Such a sin!"
"Enough! Look at how your eyes are glued! Knew that you aren't anything good! Must be an exceptionally lecherous person!"
". . . . . ."
Ye Yuan really could not carry on watching by the side, and he could only speak up, "Alright, Ruyan. Yesterday, you guys altered your looks to that extend; Young Master Ren's misunderstanding is normal too. You don't keep harping on the matter."
Xiao Ruyan pursed her mouth and actually did not dispute, retreating behind Ye Yuan unwillingly.
Ren Dong was even more stupefied when he saw the situation. This woman looked to be so fierce and unreasonable, but she actually did not dare to say a word back to Ye Yuan!
This Ye Yuan's methods to control women was truly remarkable!
"Young Master Ren, you aren't really finding me to ask for essence crystals, right?" Ye Yuan looked at Ren Dong and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Ren Dong hastily shook his hands and said, "No, no, the essence crystals is just a small matter. That . . . Can we go in for a talk?"
Ren Dong looked around for a bit, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and knew that he was afraid of him losing face being seen by people, and he nodded his head.
Coming to the inner hall and sitting down, Ye Yuan could not help being very helpless too. Looks like wanting to go out to take a stroll around wasn't very likely.
"What you have to say, you can say it now, right?" Ye Yuan said.
"That . . . is it possible to . . . teach me how to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills?" Ren Dong rubbed his hands, appearing very embarrassed.
