  Chapter 738 - Spar

  There was no free lunch in this world. Ying Tianya buying so many medicinal pills from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in one go, if this was calculated according to earth essence crystals, the number could be counted in the hundreds of thousands.

  Therefore, the thing he wanted Ye Yuan to do would likely have to pay an equal price too.

  If it were just treating illnesses and saving people, Ying Tianya definitely would not find it so hard to say.

  Therefore, Ye Yuan determined that the thing Ying Tianya wanted him to do definitely had a corresponding risk.

  At least, to him, this Divine Traversing Realm martial artist, it was rather dangerous.

  Ying Tianya's stomach full of words was blocked right at his mouth by Ye Yuan. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan could not help having some transformation.

  He thought that his order of his was sufficient to move Ye Yuan. He didn't expect that Ye Yuan rejected it without even blinking.

  One had to know that this order, even when placed in the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company, it was absolutely not a small sum either, let alone that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was just a newly-opened medicinal store.

  "Master Ye, this order has nothing to do with me inviting you to take action. After the matter is done, this Ying will have another generous gift to offer. The value will be several times of this order!" Ying Tianya refused to give up.

  Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Does City Lord Your Excellency take this Ye to be a fool? The more generous the remuneration you give, it means that the matter you make this Ye do will be more dangerous. This Ye is just a Divine Traversing Realm junior. If City Lord Your Excellency requires alchemists, wouldn't going to find Alchemy Saint He be more suitable?"

  It was not that Ye Yuan really did not want to go. It was just that his current strength was still a little weak in the Divine Realm. Therefore, he planned to cultivate in the Ancient Opulence City for a period of time before going out.

  The strength of the Divine Realm's martial artists was much stronger compared to the Lower Realms.

  Ye Yuan could even leap across a major cultivation realm to one-shot his foe in the Lower Realms. But wanting to do this while being in the Divine Realm was quite hard.

  He still had some chances of victory when dealing with ordinary initial-stage Boundless Realm powerhouses with his current strength. But if they came out from major families with inheritances, then it would be rather strained.

  Even in this unassuming Ancient Opulence City, martial artists who comprehended true intent could be found everywhere too.

  Even like Jun Tianyu this kind, they were also not too far off from comprehending supreme true intent.

  Walking around outside with Ye Yuan's current strength was still a little too dangerous.

  Ying Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding things from Master Ye. Actually, the person I have in mind originally was He Shuming too. But after witnessing Master Ye's skills, I feel that you're a more suitable choice. But for precautionary measures, I plan on inviting you and Alchemy Saint He to go along together. Master Ye rest assured, this trip is only to save people. As long as the person is rescued, we'll pull out immediately and absolutely won't stay!"

  Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "Talk more about the specifics."

  The moment Ying Tianya heard that there was hope, he could not help becoming overjoyed and recounted the whole story of the incident.

  Turns out that Ying Tianya's junior apprentice brother unwittingly found an ancient grotto and headed inside the grotto alone to seek treasures. In the end, he was trapped in that ancient grotto.

  But Ying Tianya's relationship with this junior apprentice brother was very close. The two of them had a kind of special skill to transmit news. Hence, his junior pleaded for help from Ying Tianya through this skill.

  Ying Tianya received the news that his junior was trapped in the ancient grotto and was unable to get away. Furthermore, he was inflicted with a peculiar poison. It was Ying Tianya who thought of inviting alchemists along.

  "That junior of mine is only only at the Second Level Heaven Enlightenment. He's able to preserve his life in that ancient grotto. Presumably, that grotto shouldn't be too dangerous. This Ying assures you to definitely do everything in my power to ensure your safety this trip! As long as this Ying is around, I absolutely won't let people harm a hair of yours!" Ying Tianya patted his c.h.e.s.t and said.

  Ye Yuan smiled as he shook his head and said, "Asking me to go is viable. But this kind of guarantee is still not enough!"

  Ye Yuan was not some fledgling experiencing the world for the first time. This kind of verbal promise, he did not trust at all.

  When danger really struck and Ying Tianya ran at the critical juncture, who could he find to reason things out?

  Ying Tianya hesitated for a moment, but took out a suit of armor and said, "This is this Ying's personal suit of armor; high-grade profound artifact, Skyplume Treasure Armor. Even Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses are unable to break its defense in a short while either. I wonder if this Ying's sincerity is sufficient? Of course, the terms promised to Master Ye prior still stands. After the matter is done, I'll pay a reward of one million merit points separately!"

  Ye Yuan took over the Skyplume Treasure Armor from Ying Tianya's hands and said with a nod, "Alright, deal. But I have a condition!"

  "Master Ye please say!"

  "My condition is that Brother Jun travel together with me!" Ye Yuan said.

  Ying Tianya nodded with an emotional sigh, "If Younger Brother Jun is able to travel together, then that's for the best. With Younger Brother Jun's strength, this journey is bound to have a few more parts of assurance!"

  ...

  After Ying Tianya left, Ye Yuan said to Jun Tianyu with a slight apology, "Brother Jun, dragging you into the water this time, I'm really sorry!"

  Ye Yuan knew that this journey likely would not be that simple. But the only helper Ye Yuan could find now was only Jun Tianyu.

  Jun Tianyu said with a smile, "What's Younger Brother Ye saying? This Jun has also not worked out my body for a long time. My cultivation has also remained stagnant for very long. This trip is precisely a turning point. I hope that I'm able to have some gains."

  Jun Tianyu's words were not false. These few years, for the sake of Liu Yiru's ailment, he practically abandoned cultivation, resulting in his cultivation stagnating and not advancing all along.

  If he still did not work his body, wanting to break through in the future would be hard.

  A character like Jun Tianyu was naturally unresigned to only having Heaven Enlightenment Realm strength for all his life. That would be even worse than killing him.

  Ye Yuan said, "Great kindness can't be thanked with words. This grace of Brother Jun, this Ye has remembered it."

  "Haha, isn't Younger Brother Ye regarding me as an outsider here? To really talk about being grateful, it should also be me thanking you! Without you, I'd probably be a walking corpse right now already. Moreover, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion establishing, you gifted 20% performance shares directly to me. You can't let a grown man like me eat idly without working, right?" Jun Tianyu cracked a rare joke.

  It was just that no matter what, to be able to generously travel together under the situation where he clearly knew there was danger, this great kindness of Jun Tianyu's made Ye Yuan very grateful.

  Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Brother Jun, this Ye's current strength is meager and is also unable to help you refine medicinal pills. But this Ye is incapable and happened to have some comprehension on Sword Dao too. Why don't we spar a bit? Hopefully, it can be of some assistance to you."

  Jun Tianyu froze when he heard that. He was really unaware that Ye Yuan actually had some attainments along the martial path apart from refining pills.

  Moreover, hearing Ye Yuan's meaning, his attainments on Sword Dao was even not low.

  Jun Tianyu had dealt with Ye Yuan for some tim
e too and knew that he was not someone to shoot his mouth off.

  To dare say so, he probably had some capabilities.

  But regarding Ye Yuan's words, Jun Tianyu was still rather disapproving of it in his heart.

  Ye Yuan's attainments in alchemy, Jun Tianyu prostrate on all fours in admiration.

  But there were times a person's strength just wouldn't do. How high could Ye Yuan's attainments in Sword Dao be?

  Ye Yuan doing so was just a kind of compensation for dragging him into the water just now. The idea was nice, except, the effects were likely totally nonexistent.

  In Jun Tianyu's view, Ye Yuan's present level was completely unable to understand how high his current Sword Dao concept boundary was!

  Chapter 739 - Restoring Pill Formula

  "Lord Chairman, things are bad! Today, the moment the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opened for business, the door sill was crushed from the crowd!"

  Early in the morning, the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's manager went to find Zuo Xin in a fl.u.s.ter.

  The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's explosive scene frightened him badly.

  In comparison, their Heaven's Destiny Trading Company side here was deserted and quiet, practically without any customer.

  Zuo Xin's frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

  "The Tier 5 medicinal pills that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion unveiled, the medicinal effects are actually 40-60% higher than our varieties of the same kind, but the prices are even cheaper than after we discounted 20%! In addition … In addition …" said the manager. The manager stammered but did not dare to continue speaking.

  Zuo Xin's expression darkened, and he said, "Speak!"

  "Yes, Lord Chairman! In addition, Alchemy Saint He was completely crushed by the Ye Yuan, master and disciples, yesterday. Overnight, it was like the martial artists in the entire city all knew the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's prowess!" the manager said.

  Bang!

  Zuo Xin gnashed his teeth hatefully and threw the teapot in his hand directly onto the ground, smashing it into pieces.

  "Go, think of ways to get some of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's medicinal pills over for me!" Zuo Xin said solemnly.

  "This subordinate has already gotten them from some martial artists who purchased the medicinal pills. Here they are."

  The manager clearly knew how to handle affairs well. Without waiting for Zuo Xin's instructions, he already brought the medicinal pills over.

  But at this time, Zuo Xin was not in the mood of praising him at all. Snatching the medicinal pills over in a flash, he started scrutinizing in detail.

  But looking for a long time, Zuo Xin could not figure out what difference the medicinal pills in his hands was from his own too.

  "Go, get Alchemy Saint He to come over! Hang on … forget it, I'll go find him myself!"

  Such a major matter, Zuo Xin could not wait at all.

  If it were really as the manager said, then the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company would be facing its greatest crisis!

  The business that Zuo Xin laid down a foundation for in the Ancient Opulence City painstakingly would be encroached on to the limits by the Meteor Trading Company very soon!

  Although Tier 5 medicinal pills only belonged to the low-level market, it was also the largest market. If this piece were eaten by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion entirely, their business would probably lose 30-40%!

  This kind of loss, the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company seriously could not bear it!

  Moreover, Zuo Xin also heard that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion even had an expert assisting behind and was even able to refine superior-grade, even transcendent-grade Tier 6 medicinal pills.

  If left to grow unchecked, the outcome was too ghastly to imagine!

  Originally thought that two plots were enough to deal a fatal blow to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Who knew that hitting the snake failed to kill it and was bitten instead. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion just opened for business day two and caused such a grave threat to the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company.

  What surprised him even more was that He Shuming, a dignified Alchemy Saint, actually lost to an Alchemy Sovereign just like this!

  Even though it was just on fire control, losing means losing; there was no excuses. Those martial artists purchasing medicinal pills would not listen to any excuses either!

  Zuo Xin found He Shuming very quickly. Initially, he was embarrassed to meet Zuo Xin. But he already came to find him. He could not very well avoid Zuo Xin either.

  But after Zuo Xin briefly recounted the enormous crisis the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company was facing, He Shuming had no way of being calm too.

  He originally thought that yesterday's loss was just a one-time loss, did not affect the whole.

  Who knew that on the second day morning, he would hear such news like a bolt out of the blue.

  "This … Why would the Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill add in Starnet Secret Flower? En? There is even Moon Foil Heavenly Sand? This … This doesn't adhere to medicinal theory at all! The strangest thing is that after adding in these things, the medicinal effect actually increased 40-50% compared to the original. This is simply inconceivable!"

  He Shuming was deserving of being an Alchemy Saint powerhouse. Just by smelling it with his nose, he already found the aspects different from ordinary Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pills.

  It was just that the way he saw it, adding in these things was simply downright nonsense and should ruin the medicinal properties of the core ingredients.

  But why would the medicinal effects rose so much instead after adding these in?

  A new type of medicinal pill emerging in the world would always cause alchemists to fervently research it.

  The composition of a medicinal pill actually did not have many areas that could be concealed. High-level alchemists could differentiate what kind of medicinal herbs a medicinal pill was constituted of just by using their noses.

  But to want to restore the pill formula through a medicinal pill, that was virtually something impossible.

  Because each type of medicinal herb's proportion, quantity, were all unable to restore to its original form. Let alone the method of refining and how the fire should be controlled.

  Alchemy was an extremely precise work. Even if it were wrong by a wee bit, what was refined would be useless pills too.

  But this did not hinder He Shuming's gasps of admiration towards this Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill!

  "Alchemy Saint He, can this medicinal pill … be restored to its original form?" Zuo Xin asked rather cautiously.

  He Shuming heaved a sigh and said, "With my strength, it's definitely unable to restore the pill formula. This medicinal pill looks trivial and normal on the surface. But the refining method is extremely mystifying and done by an experienced alchemist. If I want to crack it … there's likely only sending it back to the headquarters. It's just, I don't know if the Alchemy Emperor powerhouses in the headquarters can restore the pill formula or not!"

  Restoring the pill formidable, although it was virtually impossible, there was still that little bit of hope. If not, there wouldn't be some very popular pill formulas circulating too.

  But to want to restore the pill formula, it normally required strength that transcended multiple ranks.

  This is because their understanding towards medicinal theory and pill refinement had already reached an extremely profound boundary.

  If luck was good, they could still fumble out some trick to it through some attribute relationship between the spirit medicines.

  Zuo Xin exclaimed in shock, "Even Alchemy Venerables are unable to restore to its original form?"

  He Shuming shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Alchemy Venerable experts won't cut it too! If this medicinal pill is refined by Ye Yuan himself, then his attainments in alchemy are absolutely above mine! It's just that his cultivation is lacking, that's why he's not able to refine Tier 6 and above medicinal pills. But if it's like this, then that person
behind him … his strength would be too terrifying!"

  Although unwilling to admit it, the truth in front of him still made He Shuming candidly admit defeat.

  Zuo Xin was horrifyingly shocked when he heard that. This was just a Tier 5 medicinal pill. Logically speaking, Alchemy Venerable powerhouses should be able to restore the pill formula.

  But He Shuming said such intricate pill must have Alchemy Emperors to work on it.

  Zuo Xin gritted his teeth and said, "This batch of medicinal pills are of great importance. We'd better send it back to the headquarters! Later, I'll make clear the situation to Lord Deacon. If these medicinal pills really can have their pill formulas restored, it will absolutely be highly beneficial to our Heaven's Destiny Trading Company!"

  He Shuming nodded his head, clearly in approval of Zuo Xin's view too.

  Under normal circ.u.mstances, Alchemy Emperor powerhouses would not even be bothered to take action and restore such low-level medicinal pills.

  But in Zuo Xin's view, if the pill formulas of these medicinal pills could be restored, the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company would have profits pouring in!

  Because the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's branches were everywhere; spanning several major regions. Once popularized, these few types of medicinal pills would absolutely be money trees!

  Regardless whether the headquarters agree or not, these medicinal pills must all be sent back!

  Zuo Xin believed that with upper echelons' vision, they would absolutely be able to discern these Tier 5 medicinal pills' value!

  ...

  And at this time, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu were currently facing opposite each other.

  "Brother Jun, I'll demonstrate a set of martial technique now, named Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword. You have to look closely!"
