The valuable aspect of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill lied in that it was not only effective to Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, but it was also similarly effective on initial-stage Phaseless Realm martial artists.
It was just that its effect on Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists was the greatest, so that was why it was classified as a Tier 7 medicinal pill.
In reality, forget about Alchemy Saints, even Alchemy Venerables had very few people able to refine successfully too.
Therefore, Ye Yuan stated a price of 150 points.
Chapter 884 - Invitation Coming from the Third Level
"It was just luck! This Ye normally don't have such a high success rate when refining pills. These few days of seclusion, no idea why either, my moral character suddenly erupted, so I refined nine medicinal pills. Even the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill that I'm normally unable to refine actually succeeded too," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
But Si Yin was speechless when she heard it.
Refining pills this sort of thing could rely on moral character too 1 ?
Although refining medicinal pills indeed had components of luck inside, that was directed at a single medicinal pill.
Refining nine different medicinal pills due to good luck, how heaven-defying to what degree did this luck have to be?
Do you really take this Exalt to be a fool?
However, apart from luck, was there still any better explanation?
Forget it if it was some other medicinal pill, but the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill could not be refined just based on strength.
A success rate of 50%, this was also a bit too terrifying, right?
Thinking about it carefully, luck was also the best explanation.
This involuntarily made Si Yin confused.
"Alright. Doesn't matter how, Sir is truly an alchemy genius hard to come across once in a thousand years! Moreover, Sir's martial strength is shocking. Continuing to cultivate, perhaps you might be able to become the next Soul Martial Divine King!" Si Yin s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath deeply and said.
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Haha, I won't dare to think about the Soul Martial Divine King. Let's think about the issue of points."
Si Yin's face reddened, and she also became conscious of her loss of composure. She nodded and said, "The Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill is comparable to Tier 8 medicinal pills. Exchanging for 150 points is naturally not an issue. I'll help Sir to go exchange it for points straight away. Sir, please follow me."
Si Yin brought Ye Yuan into the inner-pavilion. After exchanging the medicinal pills to points, she took out a jade slip very seriously and handed it to Ye Yuan.
"Sir, although this Slaughter Sword Art is sold to you, you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to absolutely not spread this martial technique outside," Si Yin said solemnly.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "That's of course."
Si Yin said that this martial technique when cultivated to the extreme, one's strength would be on par with the Ten Great Divine Kings.
This level of martial technique, if it was at the outside world, forget about being sold, one would not even get to see it. Regardless of which faction it was, regarding this kind of martial techniques, they would all cherish it very dearly.
Although the Asura Arena circulated it, it was also not possible to allow it to spread around outside freely.
But it was precisely because so that Ye Yuan had even more suspicions. There must be something strange about things being abnormal. Since this cultivation method was so formidable, why would the Asura Arena display it publicly?
The Chaotic Devil Sea was a very mysterious region in the Divine Realm. Nobody knew just who this place was ruled by.
At one point, there were major forces that attempted to invade the Chaotic Devil Sea. But without any exception, they all failed. Furthermore, their outcomes were all very miserable.
As time passed, no one else dared to have designs on this region anymore.
But to say that the Slaughter Sword Art could be cultivated to the realm of the Ten Great Divine Kings, Ye Yuan had some doubts.
If that was really the case, why had he never heard before of the Chaotic Devil Sea producing any powerful characters?
Right in front of Si Yin, Ye Yuan swore a Heavenly Dao Oath before receiving the spirit halo jade from the other party's hands.
Spirit halo jades were jade slips used specially to inscribe Tier 9 cultivation methods. Its properties were very special, and it was also extremely rare.
Ye Yuan reckoned that just this jade slip made from spirit halo jade was probably worth 10 points!
The moment it entered his hands, Ye Yuan's divine sense had yet to sink inside when a surge of killing qi pounced from head-on. It actually made Ye Yuan involuntarily revolve Heart Like Monolith.
Seeing this sort of situation, Ye Yuan could not help being secretly shocked too.
This martial technique really seemed to be incredible!
Inside the spirit halo jade was definitely just a replica cultivation method and it actually had such power.
Looks like what Si Yin said before were mostly true.
"Sir obtained such a martial technique, don't you wish to take a look?" Si Yin said with a gleeful smile.
This words had some spurring on intention.
But what kind of person was Ye Yuan, how could he fear this sort of spurring?
Smiling immediately, Ye Yuan directly sunk his divine sense into the spirit halo jade.
Boom!
Instantly, inside Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness teemed with violent killing intent. It actually wanted to control his will!
Ye Yuan was long prepared, revolving Heart Like Monolith to the limits, and forcefully suppressing this killing d.e.s.i.r.e.
"Slaughter Sword Art First Level, Killing Song of the Sword! One killing song startles heaven and earth. Myriads of life are desolate and bleak."
Only after forcefully suppressing the violent killing intent in his sea of consciousness did the contents of the first level appear in front of Ye Yuan.
With Ye Yuan's current Slaughter Intent, he could only cultivate this first level's move as well.
Just briefly skimming over it, Ye Yuan was greatly shocked.
Only then did he know that turns out the Slaughter Concept could actually still be used like this! No wonder Si Yin said that this martial technique could rival the strength of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Looks like what she said was not false.
If this first move was mastered, it was absolutely not beneath the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's seventh layer martial technique.
Ye Yuan was currently savoring the lingering appeal of the Slaughter Sword Art's first level and was incomparably shocked in his heart. But he did not notice that the astonishment in Si Yin's eyes was even greater than his.
Ye Yuan was not the first person to acquire this martial technique. But when the others sunk their divine sense inside the spirit halo jade, they all became unbelievably savage very quickly. There were even some people who got controlled by the killing intent within and attacked Si Yin violently.
Of course, the final outcome definitely would not be good.
However, Ye Yuan just became absent-minded briefly, then it was controlled by him.
"This Ye Yuan, his mind is unshakable! His heart realm cultivation has reached Heart Like Monolith Realm at least! I really don't know how on earth he cultivates at such a young age!"
Inside this Asura Arena, Si Yin had seen before God knows how many geniuses. But not one could give her such a great shock like Ye Yuan.
Presently, Ye Yuan already withdrew out of the spirit halo jade and gave praise repeatedly, "Not bad! Pretty good!"
Si Yin put away her thoughts and said with a smile, "Does Sir feel that you got more than your money's worth now?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That's right! Buying this martial technique for 500 points, this Ye profited at other people's expense instead."
Thi
s level of martial techniques were all priceless treasures and completely had no way of measuring using essence crystals. Although 500 points was an astronomical figure, learning a martial technique like this, it was indeed above its money's worth.
Obtaining such a cultivation method, Ye Yuan could not quite contain his excitement anymore either, planning on going back to enter a retreat and cultivate this cultivation method.
But he had yet to leave when his path was blocked by someone.
The arrival was very polite. Clasping his hands at Ye Yuan, he asked, "May I ask if you're Lord Ye Yuan?"
"Exactly so. What guidance do you have?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
The person said, "This one is Sun Qi, the number one battle general under the third level's Lord Demon King. Lord Demon King heard that Lord Ye Yuan is an outstanding young talent and wants to get acquainted with you, and specially order this lowly one to come here and invite milord up to the third level to have a chat."
There were quite a few people in the outer-pavilion. Seeing Sun Qi, all of them were taken aback.
"It's actually Lord Sun Qi! I heard that he's the number one battle general under the Demon King; an expert ranked 58th on the Earth Carnage Proclamation! He's actually so courteous to Ye Yuan!"
"Looks like Ye Yuan really made a name for himself. He hasn't entered the third level yet, and he won Lord Demon King's recognition, sending Lord Sun Qi personally here to invite. Truly remarkable!"
For a moment, there were many discussions inside the Asura Shop. If it's a joke/wordplay, I don't understand it either.
Chapter 885 - True Strength
Inviting Ye Yuan to join the team, this was nothing rare.
With Ye Yuan's performance in the second level, he was bound to be regarded highly by those heavyweights after going to the third level.
What made people surprised was Sun Qi's attitude.
Who was Sun Qi?
A powerhouse ranked 58 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. His strength was way stronger compared to Leng Qing.
An important person like this was actually so respectful towards Ye Yuan!
Even if he was sent here under the Demon King's orders, it should not be this kind of attitude.
When did this Asura Arena become so civil and polite?
"Who's the Demon King? I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing as well! I still have to go back to enter seclusion and cultivate. Don't come and bother me!" Ye Yuan said with a look of impatience.
He was currently in high spirits and wanted to cultivate the Slaughter Sword Art. But another whatever Demon King jumped out again. It would be weird if he could be happy.
But these words were totally not the case when it fell into other people's ears!
Who was the Demon King? One of the third level's kings! A powerful existence ranked in the top five! Ye Yuan actually dared to speak impertinently!
If these words were to be brought back by Sun Qi, wouldn't Lord Demon King blow his top?
The reason why the Demon King was called the Demon King was that he killed people without batting an eye! Regardless of who they were, as long as they provoked him, he obliterated without exception!
Maybe the Demon King was not the strongest one in the third level, but he was absolutely the most savage and cruel one in the third level!
Finished talking, Ye Yuan walked off without any care, and he did not even give Sun Qi a glance either.
Sun Qi's face turned dark. What kind of person was Sun Qi? Coming to invite a second level's brat, this guy actually still did not give face.
But upon thinking of Lord Demon King's instructions, Sun Qi forcefully pressed down the discontentment in his heart, caught up with Ye Yuan, and said, "Since Lord Ye Yuan has already obtained the qualifications to advance to the third level, isn't going up to the third level to cultivate the same as well? Lord Demon King has already prepared a third level's top-tier cultivation chamber for you and can provide for milord's cultivation."
Regarding Sun Qi's attitude, Ye Yuan was a little surprised too. He initially thought that Sun Qi would explode. Did not expect that this guy would actually be so good-tempered?
Ever since arriving at the Chaotic Devil Sea, Ye Yuan still very rarely saw such a good-tempered person.
But a top-tier cultivation chamber made Ye Yuan slightly moved.
One had to know that this top-tier cultivation chamber, one slaughter point could only use for three days. If not to assault bottlenecks, ordinary people would not rent it.
Ye Yuan paused for a bit and said, "Alright then, looking on account of the top-tier cultivation chamber, I'll take a trip with you! I still have some matters to take care of at the second level. You go to the third level and wait for me."
Actually, there wasn't much stuff to take care of either. Ye Yuan was just going back to say goodbye to Tan Si.
These few days, Tan Si was still considered attentive and satisfactory. Ye Yuan naturally would not be miserly towards him either. He gave him some medicinal pills and instructed him to cultivate well.
Right now, the second level all knew that Tan Si was his follower. There naturally would not be anyone without eyes that would be making things too difficult for him.
Tan Si still had a lot of potential. During this period, his improvement was apparent as well. Advancing to the third level in the future was also not impossible.
After settling Tan Si's affairs, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level.
...
Sun Qi brought Ye Yuan to an empty hall, saying to go report his arrival, and then disappeared.
In the entire hall, Ye Yuan was left all alone by himself.
Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his outstanding skills and did not mind either. He sat down calmly and drank tea.
Even after drinking the entire pot of tea, there was still no one who came to say hello. Inside the hall, it was still and quiet, with only Ye Yuan's continuously tea-drinking slight sounds.
A cold atmosphere gradually loomed. This matter seemed like a trap, no matter how one looked at it.
"Make your move. Holding it in for so long, aren't you tired?" Ye Yuan gently put down the teapot and said coolly.
As if responding to Ye Yuan's words, a dark shadow suddenly dashed out. A palm with an irresistible force rumbled over towards Ye Yuan.
Bang!
The chair Ye Yuan was sitting on and the table were directly smashed into dust.
"Strength is decent! But since your esteemed self invited me here, could it be that you don't dare to reveal your true appearance to people?" Ye Yuan already composed himself and did not have the slightest awareness of falling into a trap.
This person in front of him was dressed in black robes. He was even wearing a black fanged-mask on his face, looking very ferocious.
The masked man did not speak. Raising his hand, it was another palm!
Ye Yuan's punch rumbled out, directly annihilating the masked man's palm force.
"Mighty Heaven God Annihilating Palm!"
The masked man's low voice transmitted over. A horrifying palm force assaulted towards Ye Yuan.
Violent killing intent filled the entire hall. This palm was clearly unleashed with the Slaughter Supreme True Intent.
In terms of the Slaughter Supreme True Intent's level, it was evidently above Leng Qing's!
Ye Yuan reckoned that even if this masked man's Slaughter Concept did not reach seven stars, it was not far away either.
Although soul generals were divided into nine stars, these stars would be harder and harder to condense towards the back.
Six stars to seven stars, there was a major threshold too. A martial artist had to fight goodness knows how many matches before they could amass enough Slaughter Concept.
This masked man in front of him should be that so-called Demon King.
Facing such a palm, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless either. He immediately revolved the Void Dragon Shadow Punch to the limits!
Boom!
&n
bsp; Two attacks with tremendous power collided together. A massive energy wave directly ravaged the hall. The roof immediately crumbled down.
The entire hall instantly turned into a wasteland.
But right at this time, the skies suddenly dimmed. The skies studded with stars.
A terrifying energy undulation instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside!
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan did not reveal a solemn expression but smiled instead.
He finally knew who this Demon King was!
"I didn't expect that you, this fellow, actually ran to the Chaotic Devil Sea! But your improvement really makes me feel astonished! Since you want to test my limits, I'll let you witness my true strength!"
The smile on Ye Yuan's face gradually faded away. The Starmoon Sword quietly landed in his hand.
Ye Yuan slightly raised the Starmoon Sword, then just casually slashed in the air. A massive rift was actually slashed out in the sky!
After that, those motes of stars were completely annihilated under this slash!
This powerful Lumen Star Brilliance move was broken by Ye Yuan with a wave of his hand.
"Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword … Will Soaring to the Skies!" Ye Yuan lightly spat out these few words.
Behind that black mask, those pupils constricted, clearly shocked by the scene before his eyes.
Only when the skies recovered its clearness did the masked man come back to his senses from the midst of shock. He heaved a long sigh and said, "I thought that I was already powerful enough. Didn't think that the gap with you became bigger and bigger!"
The masked man slowly removed the fanged-mask, revealing a delicate and good-looking face. Who could it be but Nalan Chu?
Back then, Nalan Chu left the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, saying he wanted to go out and train. But Ye Yuan never expected that he actually ran to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land and even entered inside the Asura Arena.
In Ye Yuan's impression, Nalan Chu was a free and unconventional modest gentleman. But this Demon King before his eyes subverted Ye Yuan's understanding of him.
