Ye Yuan's words stirred up a great disturbance in the crowd. The Thousand Query Wall changed owners; the one opening a forum and giving a lecture was actually not the City Lord but his grandson!
Ye Yuan's heaven-defying performance mostly circulated around the Endless World's upper echelons.
And these ordinary martial artists' and alchemists' understanding of Ye Yuan was extremely limited.
But one could also tell from the news that had spread out that this youth was absolutely out of the ordinary.
It was just that opening a forum and giving a lecture was not something that normal people dared to do. Today, in front of so many people, Ye Yuan made such a promise. Did he have the ability to keep it?
A minority of the people believed it. But the vast majority of the people did not believe this.
A 17 years old youth saying to open a forum and give a lecture. This was simply a joke.
Many people believed that Ye Yuan would definitely be replaced by the City Lord a few days later; the City Lord would be the one giving the lecture.
The Thousand Query Wall changing owners and then the City Lord, His Excellency, coming forward to open a forum and give a lecture was something justifiable.
Ye Yuan's experience was too shallow and was simply incapable of suppressing the scene.
The reason why Ye Yuan did this was naturally that he had his own ideas.
Now that the Fierce Gale World was glaring at them like a ravenous tiger, to the Endless World's alchemists, even if they could increase a tiny bit of strength, it was still good.
Hence, he would rather waste five days to host a forum and give a lecture. Perhaps it might let some alchemists glean considerable gains?
Furthermore, since the City Lord Manor took over the Thousand Query Wall, they had to at least have some indications, to let these alchemists submit wholeheartedly.
Ye Yuan did not like Ren Xingchun that old man. But Ye Yuan still had another plan.
The position of the next City Lord, he would accept it on Ye Hang's behalf!
With him around, Ye Hang would surely break through to Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years. There was nobody more suitable than him to take over Wu Fang City.
Father had been nursing grievances for so many years. He got to at least hold his head up high!
Chapter 538 - Everyone Present
Cao Zheng looked deeply at Ye Yuan and said with clasped hands, "Then I'll have to trouble Little Brother Ye. Tomorrow, this Cao will definitely be there to listen to Little Brother Ye's lecture!"
Cao Zheng's words were equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the reality of Ye Yuan opening a forum and giving a lecture.
His attitude caused a stir in the crowd once again.
With the Cao Family's foundation, he was actually going to listen to Ye Yuan's lecture!
Those onlooking martial artists and alchemists all looked at Ye Yuan with amazed eyes.
Right at this time, a servant called out loudly again, "Heavenly Martial Sect's Old Ancestor Ning, Myriad Sword Sect's Old Ancestor Qin, and Profound Ice Sect's Old Ancestor Jing Xuan, has arrived!"
"No way, right? The Three Sects' old ancestors are actually all here! What kind of status do they have? To actually turn up personally for the City Lord's daughter's wedding event!"
"Weren't the three old ancestors all preparing the matters concerning the establishment of the alliance? To actually find time out of their busy schedule to attend the wedding!"
"These three old ancestors aren't here on account of City Lord's grandson too, right?
Ning Yixian trio's arrival caused a commotion.
Their identities were too high. Furthermore, when they were busy with official affairs, logically speaking, sending a Divine Traversing Realm expert from each sect over should be enough. No one could have thought that they would actually come here personally.
At this time, many people were already guessing that these three people came for Ye Yuan too.
"Hahaha! Younger Brother Ye, this old man came here to congratulate!"
Qin Hongtao's voice was like a great bell and actually had a very happy appearance. He grabbed hold of Ye Yuan's arm and appeared very close.
Ye Yuan was bewildered by this action of Qin Hongtao. He thought to himself if it was possible that this old man ate the wrong medicine?
If Ning Yixian took this kind of action, he would not be too surprised. But Qin Hongtao still had a considerable grudge with him. How could he have such an attitude?
Seeing Ye Yuan's dubious eyes, Ning Yixian explained with a smile, "Ever since Qin Yan returned from the Tranquil Cloud Sect trip, he reflected on the bitter lesson. A few days ago, he already broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, becoming a Soul Sea Realm expert! After Qin Yan exited seclusion, he said that for him to be able to break through successfully this time, the person he was most grateful to was you! Huhu, for this matter, Old Man Qin even showed off in front of us for several days!"
Ye Yuan came to understand only when he heard that. It was just that he never expected that Qin Yan would actually break through so quickly.
From the Sea Transformation Realm to the Soul Sea Realm, there was an incredible barrier. It was the checkpoint of transitioning from the Lower Three Realms to the Middle Three Realms.
Even for Qin Yan, these peerless heaven's chosen, wanting to cross this hurdle required the acc.u.mulation of a very long period of time too.
Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua, these three people were originally running neck to neck. To think that it was actually Qin Yan who strode out this step first.
"Huhu, so that's how it is! Then I'll have to congratulate Old Ancestor Qin!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and congratulated.
"Haha! Both of us together! Younger Brother Ye, don't need to be courteous with me. In the future, call me Elder Brother as well will do. Your father and mother returning to their family clan and getting married blissfully. I, as the elder brother, have to come and congratulate no matter what. This Goose Plume Treasure Armor was used by me in my early days. It's already infinitely close to a profound artifact," Qin Hongtao said with a loud laugh.
Ye Yuan's heart was moved. Defensive spirit artifacts were extremely hard to come by and tend to be much greater in value compared to offensive ones.
Although this Goose Plume Treasure Armor had not yet reached the level of a profound artifact, its value was already not beneath the Xuanying Sword which Dan Chenzi gifted.
This Qin Hongtao making a move was rather extravagant.
"You, this old man's opening move is the Goose Plume Treasure Armor. Doesn't that make it hard for the two of us? Fortunately, this old man, I, have preparations. Come, Ye Yuan. This is Earthcore Spirit Essence Milk. With your knowledge, you should know its value. It's absolutely not beneath that Goose Plume Treasure Armor of Old Man Qin!" Ning Yixian said with a smile.
"Ye Yuan, this is our Profound Ice Sect's specialty product, Iceheart Tranquil Lotus. This lotus will only bloom once every hundred years. Even in my Profound Ice Sect, it's an extremely rare object too," Jing Xuan said.
When Ye Yuan saw this Iceheart Tranquil Lotus, he could not help becoming wildly ecstatic in his heart.
He truly did not expect that the Iceheart Tranquil Lotus actually really existed in the Endless World!
This Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was a Tier 5 item. To people who cultivated in ice-attribute cultivation laws, it was a greatly beneficial item.
Even when swallowing it whole, it could also be comparable to ten years of bitter cultivation! To the Profound Ice Sect's martial artists, it was absolutely an extremely precious spirit medicine.
Of course, Ye Yuan was not concerned by this.
The reason why he was so elated was that this Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was a type of Tier 5 medicinal herb. It was also the mandatory material to refine the Tier 5 medicinal pill, Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill!
This Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill was a miracle elixir t
o treat the chronic disease in Lu-er's body!
For such a long time, Lu-er had been staying inside Ye Yuan's spatial spirit artifact all this while because she was unable to cultivate.
But Ye Yuan's current realm was unable to help Lu-er uproot the chronic disease. This had always been a worry for Ye Yuan.
This Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was very seldom seen. Ye Yuan even thought that it probably could not be found in the Endless World. Who knew that it was acquired without any effort at all! This was actually the Profound Ice Sect's specialty product!
As long as Ye Yuan broke through to Divine Traversing Realm, refining this Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill would naturally be easily accomplished.
Ye Yuan contained the joy in his heart and said to the three people with clasped hands, "Many thanks to three old ancestors! Elder Brother Wu Xuan prepared Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew for everybody! Three old ancestors, please head inside to have a taste!"
Qin Hongtao's eyes lit up, and he said in ecstasy, "I've drunk the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew once at Fu Yunjing's place. Until now, it still brings back endless aftertastes. Didn't expect that Wu Xuan that old fellow actually knows how to brew it too? Old Man Ning, Jing Xuan, hurry, hurry! I want to go and have a taste!"
Ning Yixian had clearly heard of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew's great name before. At this time, his alcohol addiction flared up too. He said goodbye to Ye Yuan and went inside with Jing Xuan.
"Hahaha! Little Brother Ye, this old man came without an invitation. You mustn't blame me!"
Ye Yuan hurriedly went up to greet with clasped hands as he said with a smile, "What's Old Hai saying here? You're working hard for the common people in the world. How can Ye Yuan dare to blame you? Furthermore, my parents are just holding a make-up wedding. How can we dare to trouble Old Hai to grace us with your grand presence?"
Qi Hai said with a laugh, "Even if I'm any busier, Little Brother Ye's parents' great event, I have to rush over too! Here, this is an Ancient Tiger Bone which I acquired some years back in the Endless Forest. I don't have much use for it keeping it either. I'll give it to you as a gift then!"
Qi Hai's voice had yet to fade when a streak of white light flashed past and snatched away the tiger bone from Qi Hai's hands. It was precisely White Light.
Ye Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "White Light! Don't be rude!"
Qi Hai laughed and said, "Haha! No worries, no worries! This little white tiger of your is really smart. Presumably, this tiger bone is very useful to him."
Qi Hai had seen before White Light around Ye Yuan long ago. He faintly sensed this little white tiger's extraordinariness.
If not for this, how could White Light possibly snatch away things from Qi Hai's hands with his present strength?
"Heh heh, Big Brother, I was too agitated just now! This tiger bone is very useful to me! I'll accept it on your behalf!"
As he said, White Light's figure moved, vanishing from everyone's sights.
Ye Yuan could not help smiling wryly. This fellow was so impolite to his elders.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ye Yuan said to Qi Hai, "Old Hai, the auspicious hour is drawing near. I, as the son, can't screw up my parent's great event. Let's go in!"
Chapter 539 - Immense Popularity
Wine cups clanged, and wine flowed freely in the main hall. The guests were already utterly conquered by the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew long ago.
"Wu Xuan, just based on our friendship, you have got to give me a flask of this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew later. Oh, no, ten flasks!" By Wu Xuan's side, a Divine Traversing Realm expert slung his arm around Wu Xuan.
"Wu Xuan, our relationship is solid enough, right? If you give him ten flasks, I can't get lesser than ten flasks no matter what, right?" said another person.
Wu Xuan's head was already long messed up by these fellows who tried to curry favor. Flinging his hand, he said, "Shoo shoo shoo! Do you all think that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is some jug wine by the roadside? With your ways of giving out, no matter how many I have, it will all be given away too! Telling you all honestly, this old man, I, only took these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew out for everybody to sample because today is Younger Brother Ye's parents' wedding day! After today huh, whoever wants it will have to splurge!"
When Wu Xuan brewed the low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, he already anticipated today's situation.
He already discussed it with Ye Yuan to place this low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew onto the market to sell. It would definitely earn a hefty amount!
Wu Xuan bringing these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew over today was naturally in order to boost Ye Yuan's face. But it was not without the intention of promoting this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew either.
Those who could enter the main hall today were all upper echelons in Wu Fang City. They were either wealthy or with connections.
As soon as the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew rolled out into the market, only these people could afford it.
Fu Yunjing's Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew definitely had some parts omitted in the brewing process. Hence, the production output had always not been high.
This was also the reason why Fu Yunjing cherished his own belongings all along.
Wu Xuan cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Today, everybody could drink this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew all thanks to Younger Brother Ye Yuan. However, this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew wasn't picked up from the streets. Just the materials expended in brewing the alcohol is a huge sum of money! After today, if everybody wishes to drink this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, you can go to Drunken Immortal Restaurant."
With Wu Xuan saying this, everyone came to understand as well.
Why, this Wu Xuan came today to cast a long line to cast a big fish!
But those present were all respected figures. Regarding Wu Xuan's way of doing things, there was no cause for much criticism.
Such a delicious vintage wine like the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was naturally not what some lousy common street-ware could compare to.
Yet, the most important thing was that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew could actually be mass produced!
"Wu Xuan, you mean that . . . we can all drink such a delicious vintage wine any time in the future?"
Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "That might not be the case! Such a vintage brew, the materials needed are extremely precious! Don't look at how I brought so much here today. Actually, it already expended close to 20% of this old man's assets! Therefore . . . although Drunken Immortal Restaurant will provide this wine all year round, it's only limited to ten flasks per day! First come, first serve!"
Everyone all drew a cold breath. Twenty barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew actually cost Wu Xuan 20% of his assets!
Wu Xuan as an Alchemy Sovereign expert, his assets definitely surpassed ordinary martial artists by a great deal!
20% of his assets was absolutely a huge sum of wealth.
One could see from this just how terrifying the expenditure to brew this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was!
Originally, those who were still savoring it in large mouthfuls already could not bear to lift their cups now. This wine, drinking a mouthful was one lesser!
Actually, Wu Xuan's words had areas of exaggeration. He did indeed spend a huge sum of money on brewing this alcohol. But it was naturally impossible to be just twenty barrels.
Furthermore, the most costly expenditure was not this low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, but it was the middle-grade.
The middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was on an entirely different level from the low-grade.
The low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that Wu Xuan brought here today was just half of what he brewed this time. And adding up the costs of these forty barrels of low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, it was not even half of the middle-grade.
The middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was still in the pro
cess of brewing. But, the output was merely one barrel.
Such an expenditure, even with Wu Xuan's massive wealth, it was also somewhat unbearable.
However, with the recipe that Ye Yuan gave, Wu Xuan's future wealth could be predicted.
Don't look at how alchemists were all very rich. Actually, their expenditures were immense too.
Following the increase in their strength, the expended essence crystals and medicinal herbs also soared exponentially.
Hence, nobody would complain about having too much money.
"Isn't ten flasks too little? Wu Xuan, essence crystals are not an issue. This alcohol, I'll reserve a barrel first. The next time it's out, give it to our Zhang Family first, alright?" Wu Fang City's Zhang Family Head yelled out.
Wu Xuan shook his head and said, "Old Man Zhang, not that I, Wu Xuan, am miserly. The process of brewing this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is extremely troublesome. There's simply no way of providing a large supply. Otherwise, I wouldn't limit it to ten flasks daily too. This old man indeed still has some remaining stock. But giving this inventory to you, the other families will shred me up!"
With Wu Xuan saying this, there were immediately people from the other families who were indignant.
"That's right. Old Man Zhang, are you the only rich one? Our Sun Family can still afford this bit of essence crystals! You want a barrel, this father of yours wants ten barrels!"
"The City Lord Manor hasn't even spoken yet. What capabilities does your Zhang Family have to dare swallow a barrel all at once!"
"In my opinion, it's still Wu Xuan's method that is good. Ten flasks daily. First come first serve. This way, it's fair to everyone!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Xuan was also secretly delighted in his heart.
Actually, the low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew really did not have many troublesome aspects. He originally also planned on selling barrel by barrel.
But after he told his plans to Ye Yuan, it was denied by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's idea was very simple. An object was valued relative to its rarity!
