Although Ye Yuan felt that it was not proper, he similarly yearned immensely for strength.
To Ye Yuan, having one more supreme true intent was obviously something that he wished for.
Him coming to the Chaotic Devil Sea, on the one hand, it was for the sake of the Skandha Divine Stone. The other was for the sake of this supreme true intent.
Now that there was a heaven-defying martial technique on par with the Nine Suns Burning Heaven placed in front of him, Ye Yuan saying that he was not moved was fake.
Si Yin laughed coldly in her heart. The Asura Arena has existed for so many years! The geniuses are not just you alone! Having an unduly high opinion of one's self, this is a common failing for geniuses! In the end, you still can't resist the temptation of power!
"There are many ways to obtain points. But there's one thing, that is to have some contribution to the Asura Arena. I heard that Sir has a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill in possession. If Sir is willing to transfer possession of it to the Asura Shop, we're willing to purchase it at the price of 50 points." Si Yin said.
Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised look. He said with a smile, "Just the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill will do? Then if I refine other medicinal pills, can it also be exchanged for points?"
Si Yin said, "That will have to depend on what kind of medicinal pills sir refine. If it's like the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone, however many you have, we want as many!"
Chapter 882 - Pummeling All the Same
"Is that true?"
Hearing Si Yin explained this, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up too.
Si Yin said with a smile, "Will I lie to Sir? These kinds of short-in-supply medicinal pills are extremely popular among those geniuses ranked towards the front of the third level. We purchase at a price of 50 points, but we can sell at an even higher price."
Ye Yuan smiled too when he heard that and said, "Huhu, you all really have the intrinsic characteristics of a merchant! Fine, since that's the case, we'll go out and talk."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned right around and exited the inner-pavilion. Si Yin felt baffled but still followed after.
Ye Yuan came to the points area, retrieved the Absolute Kill Token and Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill, and handed them to Si Yin, saying, "Help me exchange the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill for points. Plus the 40 points in the Absolute Kill Token, a total of 90 points, exchange all of them into Tier 7 spirit medicines!"
Ye Yuan's appearance was just like a magnate spending large sums of money lavishly, incomparably generous.
Si Yin could not help being very surprised when she heard that and said in a daze, "Does Sir want to reconsider it a little? Although medicinal pills can exchange for more points, these spirit medicines are all very valuable. Refining into medicinal pills is also extremely complicated and difficult. The success rate isn't high. Sir might not be able to earn back this 90 points even if you spend them all!"
To alchemists, the success rate was a very big problem. Especially a medicinal pill like the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill. The difficulty of refining was extremely high.
In Si Yin's view, even if Ye Yuan was really an alchemist, refining a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill would definitely expend many materials too.
Plus Ye Yuan's spending money like water attitude, it was very easy to make Si Yin mistakenly think that Ye Yuan was born in some major noble family, so that was why she voiced out to warn.
But Ye Yuan said without a care, "There's no need to trouble Miss Si Yin to worry about this. Either way, these points were obtained easily too. Even if it gets squandered away, it doesn't matter either. Worst comes to worst, I'll find some more people to carry out a points gamble fight when I reach the third level."
Si Yin was speechless when she heard it. To mention points gamble fights so easily, there was probably just this one in front of her.
Ye Yuan's indifferent attitude was regarded by people as a fool at one point. But reality proved that he really had the strength to crush a level!
Si Yin did not doubt the least bit that even if Ye Yuan went to the third level, his strength would be in the front ranks too.
Since Ye Yuan already said it like this, Si Yin could not very well say anything else. She could only go help him exchange the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill to points.
"Purple Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Profound Cold Icesoul Fruit, Iceflame Profound Sovereign Ganoderma …"
Ye Yuan uttered a long string of spirit medicine names like he was informing dish names. Si Yin actually could not quite keep up with his speed following behind Ye Yuan.
One had to admit, this Asura Shop really had quite a bit of good stuff. Some spirit medicines were all very hard to find in the outside world. This place actually had everything that one could wish for.
It was just that these spirit medicines' reserves were limited. A lot of them could only extract out two to three portions of medicine embryo, and even only extract one portion.
With this, it put an extremely high demand on the alchemist.
But this was not an issue to Ye Yuan at all.
Even his success rate for refining Tier 9 medicinal pills were shockingly high, not to mention mere Tier 7 medicinal pills.
All of this was owed to his extremely solid foundational skills.
Finally, Ye Yuan purchased 30 over stalks of spirit medicines, making Si Yin dumbfounded from watching.
This was simply an example of a dumb person flushed with money!
Taking 90 points to exchange for 30 over stalks of spirit medicines, no matter how one looked at it, it was a very retarded behavior too.
"Sir, these are all of the spirit medicine that you want. It's all inside the storage ring. Do a check," Si Yin passed Ye Yuan a storage ring and said.
"No need to check. Miss Si Yin is so beautiful, would you still lie to me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Si Yin's face reddened and actually revealed the bashful attitude of a maiden. One would wonder if her subordinates would sigh with admiration at Exalt Si Yin's mind-boggling acting skills when they see this situation or not.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly felt the Absolute Kill Token heat up. A message transmitted into his mind.
"En? Going to battle already. It's indeed with that Leng Qing!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.
Si Yin said with a broad smile, "I wish Sir a triumphant victory as soon as your banners are unfurled!"
Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "That's of course! This guy doesn't have the guts to have a points gamble fight with me and actually still dare to use this sort of despicable means to force me to fight with him. I must pummel him until even his mother can't recognize him!"
...
When Ye Yuan rushed to the fighting arena, the grandstands were already fully occupied.
A showdown between an upstart and a veteran of the second level was destined to draw massive amounts of attention.
On the grandstands, an elderly and a youth showed up once again.
"Feng Shao, what do you think Leng Qing's chances of victory in this match is?"
The youth shook his head and said, "Old Zhu, although we can't win against Leng Qing even if we tried our utmost best, I still feel that he isn't Ye Yuan's match!"
"That … I don't think so! Leng Qing has clearly seen that fight on that day too. He probably still has some confidence since he dares to go up the stage to challenge Ye Yuan. It's just that how much this assurance is, that's hard to say," Old Zhu said.
The youth glanced at Old Zhu but did not say anything else.
The moment Ye Yuan laid eyes on Leng Qing, his expression darkened: "You this fellow, to actually dare play schemes with me! You're dead!"
Leng Qing said coolly, "Whatever abilities you have, feel free to use them!"
"As you wish!"
Ye Yuan suddenly burst forth. A fist arrived in front of Leng Qing in a blink of an eye.
Leng Qing's expression changed because Ye Yuan's fist disappeared
!
This move again!
Boom!
Ye Yuan's one punch struck the fighting arena's grand array until it trembled. Waves of exclamations involuntarily came from the grandstands.
"Oh my goodness! I'm covered all over in goosebumps! If this punch were to land on my body, my entire person would probably be gone."
"Too powerful! No wonder Lu Licheng was actually smashed into dregs by him even with his powerful strength!"
In the previous match, all of the force was received by Lu Licheng alone. Therefore, they did not sense the horror of Ye Yuan's punch.
But this time, it reflected clearly on the grand array. Only then did they know how terrifying this punch was.
However, this punch ultimately still missed.
Leng Qing actually avoided this unavoidable punch of Ye Yuan's!
Ever since Ye Yuan mastered the Void Dragon Shadow Punch, this was still the first time being dodged by his opponents. This also involuntarily made him somewhat surprised.
"Concept of Wind!"
Ye Yuan perceived it, the reason why Leng Qing could avoid his punch was precisely because the other party comprehended the Concept of Wind. Furthermore, it was even the Speed Supreme True Intent!
The Speed Supreme True Intent and the Wind Flow True Intent Ye Yuan comprehended both belonged to concepts of wind. But the attributes pursued had nothing in common with each other.
Comprehending the Speed Supreme True Intent could let the martial artist reach a height far beyond other people's reach.
Myriad laws under the heaven, only speed is unbroken!
In the center of Leng Qing's forehead had six stars! His Slaughter Concept was actually even a notch above Lu Licheng's!
Two kinds of supreme true intent were precisely where his confidence for being invincible in the second level lied.
"Not bad! You really are very strong! If I didn't have a bit of confidence, how could I dare to come up the stage to challenge you?" Leng Qing said.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "So what if two kinds of supreme true intent? You dare to scheme against me; I'll pummel you all the same!"
Chapter 883 - Earning Points
"Wind-Movement Shadow Kill! Netherworld Hundred Kill Saber!"
This time, Leng Qing struck first to gain the initiative. His opening move was two mighty supreme true intent martial techniques!
A swift to the extreme movement technique and an unrivaled saber art, the two gave people an incredible visual impact sensation.
"Leng Qing unleashed his ultimate move! In this second level, how long has it already been since anyone could force him to go all out?"
"With this, someone can finally pose a threat to Ye Yuan, right? After all, Leng Qing strength would also be rather decent even when placed in the third level."
"This Ye Yuan is too arrogant! I want to see how he'll still be c.o.c.ky if he can't keep up with that swift to the extreme speed of Leng Qing!"
But that one elderly and one youth shook their heads endlessly on the grandstand. This Wind-Movement Shadow Kill was the martial technique they had the biggest headache over.
Coupled with the Speed Supreme True Intent, Leng Qing was fast beyond imagination.
But they knew that Ye Yuan still had the Origin Magnetic Field that was not unleashed yet!
This was speed's greatest jinx.
Leng Qing's figure suddenly burst out, directly vanishing before everyone's eyes.
But everyone all knew that it was not that he disappeared, but he was fast until the n.a.k.e.d eye already could not see.
Bang!
Everyone saw Leng Qing display his figure, flying out backward, and slamming fiercely onto the grand array.
Following that, Ye Yuan pounced forward and chased after in Leng Qing's direction.
Leng Qing's strength was clearly much stronger compared to Lu Licheng. Although he suffered a punch, he did not lose combat capability.
Seeing Ye Yuan chase after, he was greatly alarmed and hastily deployed his movement technique, wanting to escape Ye Yuan's pursuit.
Ye Yuan laughed and smiled. "Want to run? How can it be that easy?"
Origin Magnetic Field deploying, it was like Leng Qing fell into a quagmire, his speed falling drastically.
Bang! Another punch.
But Leng Qing's speed was indeed very fast. He avoided most of Ye Yuan's force before barely managing to not be crippled.
The power of Ye Yuan's one punch was seriously too fearsome.
The martial artists on the grandstand were already struck dumb with astonishment. On the fighting arena, one chased and one ran, completely not like fighting. It was more like a game of cat-and-mouse.
What was damnable was that the one being chased was the second level's number one person, Leng Qing!
This scene seriously made people feel too subverted.
Leng Qing's strength was clearly much stronger than Lu Licheng's. But facing Ye Yuan, he was likewise being pummeled until he could not raise his head.
This guy's strength was truly ridiculously powerful.
"I concede!"
This was an unequal fight and was long unable to continue already.
Except, Leng Qing only found a trace of opportunity to catch his breath now, and said the words to admit defeat.
Following Leng Qing admitting defeat, his Slaughter Concept flowed over towards Ye Yuan's body. The sixth star became much dimmer all at once.
The higher the rank of the soul general, the more Slaughter Concept lost after defeat. All at once, the fourth star on Ye Yuan's forehead became bright.
Advancing another step and the fifth star would be appearing.
At this moment, Leng Qing felt like his entire person was on the verge of falling into pieces. There was not one spot that did not hurt from head to toe.
Even if his willpower was firm, he was injured until he contorted his face in pain at this time.
"M-Many thanks for Brother Ye for showing mercy," Leng Qing s.u.c.k.e.d in cold breaths as he said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You and Lu Licheng are different. Your offense didn't deserve death."
That Tu Gang and Lu Licheng clearly gave rise to killing intent towards Ye Yuan. So Ye Yuan cut them down mercilessly without any politeness.
Although Leng Qing forced Ye Yuan to fight with him, Ye Yuan could sense that he was only tempering himself through battles. There was a fundamental difference in-between this.
Towards such an opponent, Ye Yuan did not mind sparing his life.
It was just that Leng Qing's compelling method made Ye Yuan somewhat displeased. So that was why he would make a move to mete out punishment.
The people on the grandstand were stunned long ago already. The ever-triumphant Leng Qing was actually defeated so utterly. He even needed Ye Yuan's charity before he was able to escape with his life by luck.
A Third Level Heaven Enlightenment was actually daunting to this sort of extent. This was an extremely rare thing in the Asura Arena.
At least, they had not seen such incident before.
Even the second level's strongest, Leng Qing, became Ye Yuan's vanquished opponent. Ye Yuan naturally obtained the qualifications to advance to the third level.
But Ye Yuan was not in a hurry. To him, the pressing matter on hand was to get enough points to exchange for the Slaughter Sword Art.
After the battle with Leng Qing, Ye Yuan immediately entered seclusion and started refining pills.
...
Five days later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion and directly went to the Asura Shop.
When Ye Yuan placed nine small bottles in front of Si Yin, her mouth opened into a circle shape, and she did not recover to her senses for very long.
"Mouth opening so big, it can stuff a fist in already," Ye Yuan said with a snide smile.
Si Yin froze and finally came back to her senses. This time, her shocked expression was not feigned but genuine astonishment.
Ye Yuan purchased a total of 30 over spir
it medicines and actually refined nine completed medicinal pills!
Of course, if she knew that what Ye Yuan refined was far from just nine, who knew what she would think.
Ye Yuan obviously would not tell her that his success rate of refining pills was a hundred percent. It was just that out of fear that it would be overly shocking, that he only took out nine medicinal pills!
In truth, Ye Yuan was in seclusion for five days and refined a total of 18 Tier 7 medicinal pills. They were all peak Tier 7 medicinal pills.
And what he took out was just half of what he refined.
"The other medicinal pills, you just purchase them according to the price of 50 points will do. As for this Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill, I think a price of 150 points isn't considered expensive, right?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Si Yin nodded her head mechanically. Suddenly recalling something, she asked, "These … These medicinal pills were all refined by you?"
"You just have to care about getting them. As for whether or not it's refined by me, what does it matter?" Ye Yuan said.
Si Yin's question for very amateurish. A seller bringing medicinal pills, as for where it originated from, one logically should not ask too much.
But Si Yin was too shocked right now. Furthermore, these medicinal pills were clearly refined and formed using those spirit medicines that Ye Yuan bought.
Then … just how high was Ye Yuan's alchemy level?
"Ah! Sir, Si Yin didn't mean that. Please don't be mistaken. It's just … It's just that Si Yin was too surprised! This is a Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill! Even an Alchemy Emperor might not be able to refine it if he takes action. Sir only bought two portions of materials and actually refined one! This is simply too phenomenal!"
Si Yin's emotions had no idea how it should be described. This kind of freak was simply not able to find an adjective to describe!
Except, the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill that Ye Yuan refined was not one, but two!
The Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill was one of the hardest Tier 7 medicinal pills to refine. After consuming, it could permanently increase the martial artist's cultivation speed by several times. It had the same profundities of achieving the same results with different means with the 'Bing' character Ye Yuan cultivated.
