Some were Tier 5 spirit medicines, some were Tier 6 spirit medicines. Moreover, the quantity asked for was quite a bit.
This . . . This was simply robbery!
"What? Just now, you were still saying that it's nothing difficult. Regretting so fast?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Hu Rong wished that he could give himself a tight slap. Clearly aware that this boy was a great robber, why did he still brag?
Now, it was great. He could not smack his own mouth, right?
Furthermore, with this boy's personality, if he refused, he might even do something!
"H-Haha, n-no problem. I . . . I'll do my best to prepare!" Hu Rong said with an awkward look.
Chapter 668 - Because I'm Handsome
Ye Yuan's temper was like this.
Other people give him a unit of respect, he would return them ten.
If Hu Rong did not repeatedly make things difficult for him back then, not only would he not put Hu Rong in an awkward situation right now, he would even give Hu Yan a pointer or two after treating him to help him break through to Tier 7.
But now, everything was naturally off the table.
Actually, what Ye Yuan made Hu Rong prepare was primarily still the spirit medicines to refine the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill.
Even though Ye Yuan had obtained the Iceheart Tranquil Lotus, the spirit medicines needed for the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill was very rare. Ye Yuan had not managed to gather them up.
As it happened, making use of this chance, Ye Yuan could gather up these spirit medicines in the tiger clan and extort a sum while he was at it. Where was the sense in not doing this?
But Ye Yuan did not go to capture the Azure Spirit Tree right away. He waited for Hu Rong and asked for another large amount of materials, and only exited seclusion after fiddling around alone in his room for two days.
Upon leaving seclusion, Ye Yuan discovered a large group of people surrounding his entrance. They were all Tier 6 experts.
Very clearly, these Darkfiend Tiger Clan members were all waiting for him to go to the spirit vein together to catch the Azure Spirit Tree. Furthermore, quite a number of them were still carrying injuries on them. It was clearly caused by catching the Azure Spirit Tree the last time.
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "No need for so many people. All rest at home. Hu Rong, you bring three to five people along will do."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not care about everyone's reactions either, bringing White Light along and left right away.
Hu Rong was helpless and could only pick out a few clansmen whose strength were the strongest and followed after.
The party came to the spirit vein area once more. The scene before their eyes involuntarily made their expressions change drastically.
The Azure Spirit Tree was surrounded by a magnificent azure light, attacking the grand array non-stop.
Under the Azure Spirit Tree's attacks, the grand array actually had a feeling of teetering on edge!
This Azure Spirit Tree's strength was actually daunting to such an extent already!
Hu Rong and the others all s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath. Recalling the scene that day, they still had some lingering fear.
"Heh, looks like this Azure Spirit Tree is already just a step away from breaking through. The might of his strength is likely much more daunting than even peak Tier 6! If not for the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array having restraining effects on him, a mere peak Tier 6 grand array would likely still be powerless against him. Even so, this grand array can't sustain for much longer too," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
The few people by the side looked at him like looking at a monster. This fellow was really calm!
One had to know that Ye Yuan himself was merely just Tier 6. Facing the peak Tier 6 Azure Spirit Tree, he actually did not reveal the slightest hint of fear. Did this fellow not care about anything?
To face such a spectacle and keep a straight face, other than not caring about anything, it could only be that his own strength was already powerful until there was no need to fear.
Ye Yuan's understanding towards these heaven and earth spiritual objects was entirely not what the Darkfiend Tiger Clan people could imagine. In the entire Divine Realm, no one was worthy of being placed alongside him too!
His knowledge and experience in the field of alchemy were not just limited to those low-ranking medicinal herbs.
"Mister Ye, quickly take action! I'm afraid that the grand array almost can't hold on anymore!" Hu Rong could not refrain from urging.
The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was already tottering on the verge of collapse and could be breached by the Azure Spirit Tree at any time. How could Hu Rong still be in the mood to listen to Ye Yuan sigh with admiration at the Azure Spirit Tree's might here?
Ye Yuan nodded his head and casually pulled out a small bottle. In the bottle was some powder-like stuff.
"Sprinkle this powder on your bodies. Those vines naturally won't come and harass you guys." Ye Yuan said.
"Is . . . Is this reliable?"
A Darkfiend Tiger Clan member looked at the powder in the small bottle with a face full of disbelief.
He had witnessed the prowess of those vines. Even a Tier 6 power like him could not resist. A tiny bottle of powder could shield against those vines?
Wasn't this joke a little too big as well?
Ye Yuan darted him a nonchalant glance and said, "If you're self-confident in being able to avoid those vines, you can choose not to sprinkle. Don't blame me for not warning you. Those vines can secrete poison which can damage the divine soul. Once tangled up, it is a certain death."
The few people's expressions all changed when they heard. They really did not know that these vines were actually able to secrete poison.
Wasn't this Azure Spirit Tree able to secrete Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid? Why was it able to secrete poison still?
But Hu Rong's expression became apprehensive and he said, "No wonder! No wonder! After Big Brother Hu Yan returned, he became dispirited and inert, and could not even speak. Turns out that he was actually inflicted by this Azure Spirit Tree's poison!"
Back then, after Hu Yan came back, he only said a few words, "Catch Azure Spirit Tree! Save me!"
Ever since then, he never woke up again either.
However, when the shamans in the clan inspected Hu Yan's body, they could not find the reason at all. They only knew that Hu Yan's divine soul was low-spirited and inert. Clearly, he had suffered very severe injuries.
Only with no other alternatives did the tiger clan lay down the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array, planning on catching the Azure Spirit Tree in one stroke. Who knew that it still fell short of success at the last stage.
Ye Yuan said, "How can this sort of heaven and earth spiritual object possibly not have any ace-in-the-hole measures? The poison of the Azure Spirit Tree is named Traceless Soul Poison. It specifically targets the divine soul. Using ordinary methods simply can't detect it. Once the Azure Spirit Tree reaches the borders of life and death, it's able to force the Traceless Soul Poison out of its body and let the air be filled with this toxin everywhere. This toxin has no color or smell and is extremely hard to be on guard for. Presumably, Clan Head Hu Yan must have forced it into a crisis back then. As a result, he fell into the trap himself instead."
Even though Ye Yuan had never met Hu Yan, he had surmises about his illness long ago.
Hearing Hu Rong said so at this time, it was naturally not far off.
This Traceless Soul Poison was the trump card means of the Azure Spirit Tree. It was extremely formidable. If one was unfamiliar with the Azure Spirit Tree, it was very easy to succ.u.mb to the move.
But this sort of heaven and earth spiritual objects were extremely rare to begin with. How many really understood it?
However, Ye Yuan also knew that once the Azure Spirit Tree forced the Traceless Soul Poison out of its body, it's strength would also be greatly diminished.
/>
Fortunately, this place was a wood-attribute spirit vein. At present, not only did the Azure Spirit Tree's strength recover to its peak state, it even advanced a step further!
Now, if that Hu Yan came again, the Azure Spirit Tree would not need to employ this trump card move at all.
The few people were all taken aback with shock after listening to Ye Yuan's words.
This Azure Spirit Tree was really not easy to deal with!
If the Azure Spirit Tree also used this move on that day, none of them would be able to escape, and all would have to die here.
Fortunately, their strength was not strong enough and could not force the Azure Spirit Tree to use its ultimate move at all.
"That's all I have. Up to you all to sprinkle. The grand array can't hold on much longer already. I don't have the time to waste with you guys. If you guys still don't make a move, I'm going to go in myself!' Ye Yuan said impatiently.
Hu Rong knew that this little lord was not to be provoked and instructed with a solemn face, "Tell you all to sprinkle, then sprinkle. What's with all the crap?"
After the few people heard Ye Yuan's words, they had an even deeper understanding towards the Azure Spirit Tree's might. But it was precisely because so that they were even less confident in this powder of Ye Yuan's.
But with Hu Rong's order, they could only act accordingly and scattered quite a bit of powder on their own bodies.
The powder carried an intensely pungent smell, making them feel dizzy and their eyes blurry for a while.
"This powder is poisonous, but the toxicity isn't high. Just get used to it for a while will do. You all don't circulate your powers to force the poison out. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"
These people were just about to circulate their skills to force the poison out when Ye Yuan's words arrived already.
Hu Rong's expression flickered incessantly as he said, "Why . . . why are you perfectly fine?"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said coolly, "Because I'm handsome!"
Chapter 669 - Battling the Azure Spirit Tree
Ye Yuan was good-looking, but it was definitely not because he was good-looking that there was no reaction.
But Ye Yuan naturally would not tell them about the matter of him possessing the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. This bit of poison was not considered much to Tier 6 experts. Endure a bit, and it would pass.
It was just that they still held a distrustful attitude towards the effects of this powder. When they entered the grand array, each and every one of them was standing by with their full power, fearful of those vines intertwining over towards them.
But Ye Yuan walked very confidently, swaggering his way into the grand array.
When they approached the Azure Spirit Tree, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan members discovered that not only did those vines not harass then, they avoided like the plague instead.
Seeing this scene, these few people finally knew that Ye Yuan was not bragging.
He had genuine ability!
No wonder a Tier 4 boy dared to boast shamelessly and came to capture the Azure Spirit Tree. Just a tiny bottle of power resolved the thing which gave them, these Tier 6 experts, a huge headache.
"Big Brother, this power of yours is really magical. Those vines actually really ignored us!" White Light clicked his tongue in wonder too.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Myriad things in the world reinforce and counteract each other. It's true that this Azure Spirit Tree is formidable. But there are some things that he is fearful of. This powder was refined and formed with Deer Birth Grass as the lead and mixing together some other materials. Its name is Deer Birth Powder, precisely one of the things that the Azure Spirit Tree dreads. The Deer Birth Grass's rank isn't high; it is just Tier 5. But once its toxins enter the Azure Spirit Tree, it will be like a plague, curbing the wood essence power in his body. These vines are all the Azure Spirit Tree's children bodies and are naturally very fearful towards the scent of the Deer Birth Powder."
Hu Rong and the clansmen were all dazed from listening by the side. Didn't this Ye Yuan understand the Azure Spirit Tree a little too much?
The logic of myriad things in the world reinforcing and counteracting each other, anybody understood. But who could know the natural enemy of the Azure Spirit Tree, this sort of seldom-seen object?
Could this boy be a living dictionary?
White Light extended his thumb and sighed with admiration, "Big Brother is Big Brother! Really impressive!"
Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, "Is this your first day knowing me? What does this small thing count as?"
Hu Rong and the clansmen exchanged glances, all feeling very speechless.
The matter than the tiger clan set up for ten years and did not settle, Ye Yuan got it done with a bottle of powder. This also did not count as much?
Then what kind of thing could be considered remarkable in Ye Yuan's eyes?
"Almost approaching the Azure Spirit Tree's main body already. You all be a little careful. This stretch of spirit vein is already completely occupied by the Azure Spirit Tree. His tentacles can extend to every corner. In a while, you guys help me to tie down these children bodies. I'll deal with the main body," Ye Yuan said solemnly.
"You deal with the main body?" Hu Rong's eyes turned into wide-saucers, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Hu Rong knew that Ye Yuan's capabilities was not small and should be able to restrain a very large portion of the Azure Spirit Tree's energy.
But according to Hu Rong's envisage, the main attack still needed him to carry out. After all, Ye Yuan's strength was too meager.
But what the hell was going on now? Why was it the other way round from his envisage?
"I wanted to let you go. But are you his match? The Azure Spirit Tree is attacking the grand array with all its strength right now. These children bodies are relying completely on instincts to act. Once the main body comes back to its senses, it's also useless no matter how powerful this Deer Birth Powder is," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Hu Rong was rendered speechless by the question. He did not have the slightest strength to counterattack in front of the Azure Spirit Tree at all.
"Alright, don't waste any more time. In a while, the bigger the commotion you all stir up, the better. Draw his attention and leave the rest to me."
"Big Brother, you be careful!" White Light said concernedly.
"En. Relax, I'll be fine."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped, approaching towards the Azure Spirit Tree's body with extreme speed.
With this, Hu Rong and the rest were not as relaxed as before anymore. Each one of them heightened their vigilance akin to facing a great enemy.
Ye Yuan's swift approach finally startled the Azure Spirit Tree!
But the Azure Spirit Tree did not pay much attention to Ye Yuan. It just sent all of the vines to intertwine over towards Ye Yuan, while it itself continued attacking the grand array.
In his eyes, Ye Yuan this Tier 4 brat, was also not much different from ants.
Yet, Ye Yuan's Concept of Wind Flow was released fully, avoiding those vines extremely dexterously, and still headed towards the Azure Spirit Tree at high speed.
By the time the Azure Spirit Tree reacted, Ye Yuan was less than a thousand feet away from the Azure Spirit Tree's main body.
A thousand feet's distance was merely a blink of an eye to the present Ye Yuan.
With this, the Azure Spirit Tree finally took this ant-like Ye Yuan seriously and ceased attacking the grand array. It placed its focus on Ye Yuan.
With the Azure Spirit Tree shifting his focus here, the grand array finally got a breather and directly suppressed the Azure Spirit Tree's azure light down a lot.
Even so, with the Azure Spirit Tree's strength, it was still plenty to deal with Ye Yuan!
It was only to see the main body radiate a brilliant azure light once more. After that, countless vines tore out of the ground, flooding the entire stretch of space.
Ev
en if Ye Yuan's movement technique was at the zenith, it was also impossible to charge over in a place without gaps.
In front of Ye Yuan right now was like a high wall. No matter how it strove, it was also unable to leap over.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. Waving a hand, countless fire lotuses suddenly appeared around him, wrapping Ye Yuan up tightly.
Once those fire lotuses appeared, they burned towards those vines without any hesitation.
Fiery was already a Tier 5 essence fire at this time. The power of its flames was incomparably daunting.
Those vines were all the Azure Spirit Tree's children bodies and also just around Tier 5 strength.
But in terms of attributes, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus completely restrained those vines!
It was only to hear crackling sounds coming from those vines. They were burned to ashes by Ye Yuan's essence fire very quickly.
But the headache was that this region was the wood-attribute spirit vein. Those vines were completely grass that could not be burned out by a prairie fire, growing again with the spring breeze.
They grew frenziedly, then they were burned entirely by Fiery without mercy afterward.
Hu Rong and the others were also terribly busy at this time, tangled in battle with those vines.
But their few people's commotions over here was also not as great as what Ye Yuan caused when added up together.
Even though these few people were all Tier 6 experts, facing such frenziedly growing vines, they were at a loss on what to do as well.
Originally, the Azure Spirit Tree placed his focus on Hu Rong they all. But at this time, how could he still have the time to bother with Hu Rong, those few people. He directly placed all of his energy on Ye Yuan.
With this, the vines over on Hu Rong's side lost control, making the pressure on them lessen abruptly.
Hu Rong could not help being flabbergasted with his mouth gaping when he saw the huge commotion over at Ye Yuan's side.
What he was shocked by was not that Ye Yuan possessed essence fire, but that Ye Yuan's degree of control towards the essence fire had already reached the acme of perfection!
