Han Qing Zi scolded laughingly, "You punk, being insincere with your words!"
The two people exchanged a glance, and both started laughing.
These two people had a lively conversation and muddled the people below the stage silly.
It was true that Lord Qingyun Zi was their idol. But slighting Lord Zuo Qing like this was also looking down on people too much, right?
After all, Lord Qingyun Zi was only an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor currently!
Could it be that Lord Qingyun Zi seizing possession and reviving, his personality also suffered influence?
No one would have thought that this chat would be an entire day's time.
Han Qing Zi and Ye Yuan, the two people conversed very engrossedly. At times, they laughed heartily. Sometimes, their brows knitted despondently, as if completely forgotten about the pill battle.
Refining high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills, at least needed three day's time to be able to form the pill too.
But Ye Yuan wasted a day just like that. How could he still compete?"
All the way until the second day noon, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said, "Elder Brother, let's catch up later. I'll send this guy packing first."
Han Qing Zi nodded his head and said smilingly, "You got to pay close attention. With this waste, it's a day and a half's time."
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Relax, definitely coming out before this guy."
Done talking, Ye Yuan directly entered the array formation.
But Han Qing Zi's expression turned solemn. Slow by a day and a half, and still could come out before Zuo Qing?
This point, even he himself could not do it either!
Could it be that reviving for these 20 years, Ji Qingyun's alchemy Dao strength improvement was actually so great?
Ye Yuan came before the table, and his palm force likewise shook, directly shattering those Tier 9 spirit medicines to dust.
Similarly shattering medicines and condensing embryo, Ye Yuan's move was far more beautiful compared to him!
Seeing this scene, Han Qing Zi's expression became a little more solemn.
Reaching his level, who was better or lousier, was clear at a glance. Just this move, Ye Yuan's strength was more than plenty to shake Zuo Qing off more than 10 streets behind!
"This brat's control of essence energy seems to have become more exquisite! Really a freak!" Han Qing Zi muttered to himself.
The medicinal embryo's refinement done, Ye Yuan urged with one hand, and the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame started heating up the medicinal cauldron.
His technique was virtually identical with Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong's previously, like starting a fire to cook a meal.
But the moment he made his move, it was totally different from the two disciples.
"Really seeing ghosts! Clearly starting a fire to cook a meal, how can Lord Qingyun Zi's Silent Offering make people feast their eyes upon it like so?"
"Lord Qingyun Zi is Lord Qingyun Zi! Before reincarnating, how many years has it been since we've seen him take action already! This is the style of a peak Alchemy Emperor!"
"But he's already slow by a day and a half's time. Can he catch up to Lord Zuo Qing's rate of progress?"
Chapter 1036 - Already Gone
Han Qing Zi's astonishment was completely different from the rest.
Tier 9 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! It was actually a Tier 9 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!
Using this essence fire to refine medicinal pills was simply successful in every endeavor!
Although Ye Yuan was just initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength at the moment, no idea why, Han Qing Zi kept having a feeling of not being able to see through.
"Looks like this Ji Qingyun is already not the Ji Qingyun back then!" Han Qing Zi heaved a long sigh and said.
In the process of everyone's astonishment, Ye Yuan already heated the medicinal cauldron to a state of glittering and crystal clarity with immense speed.
It was just that his kind of glittering and crystal clear was god knows how many times stronger compared to Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong's kind of transparency.
The entire medicinal cauldron was virtually already in a transparent state.
Everyone all knew that the moment Ye Yuan's essence fire stopped, this medicinal cauldron would surely be wasted.
This approach was over-drafting the medicinal cauldron's life force to stimulate an even stronger pill refinement effect.
"Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art! Legendary Realm!" shouted someone. The moment the pill refinement started, someone cried out in shock.
Ye Yuan did not have any hesitation and directly entered the Legendary Realm! Furthermore, it was the extremely high-rank Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art!
"Probably only an existence like Lord Qingyun Zi could enter the Legendary Realm as and when he pleased, right?"
"Indeed well-deserving of being Lord Qingyun Zi. This kind of refinement simply makes people feel refreshed in spirit!"
What Zuo Qing used was also the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art. But it was the realm of major accomplishment. It did not even reach the great circle of perfection.
In contrast, the disparity between the two people was too obvious.
But Han Qing Zi's brows furrowed and he muttered under his breath, "This punk should have long grasped the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art already. He actually only used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art? Where did his confidence come from?"
Ye Yuan's every movement and action, Han Qing Zi was very perplexed.
It was leaping realms to do battle in the first place, Ye Yuan actually only used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art and wanted to refine a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. It was likely not easy, right?
Zuo Qing this high-rank Alchemy Emperor was not touted out. A conservative estimation, Zuo Qing could also refine a high-grade Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill.
For Ye Yuan to want to win, it at least had to be superior-grade too.
But could it be done?
Even though it was just the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art, each one of Ye Yuan's seals secretly incorporated Heavenly Dao, giving people a feeling of mystery and hard to fathom.
The same move, when used by different people, the effects were totally different.
As luck would have it, what Zuo Qing and Ye Yuan used was both the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art. The moment people with discerning eyes saw, they could immediately distinguish the level of superiority.
The two people's understanding of alchemy skills was completely not on the same level.
Through the transparent medicinal cauldron, people could see that in Ye Yuan's medicinal cauldron, that gradually forming medicinal pill seemed to be jumping for joy under the essence fire's envelopment, like it was dancing.
Very soon, the people surrounding were completely brought into the pill refinement process of pleasing the eyes and mind by Ye Yuan.
Gu Yue's heart nearly jumped out when he watched Ye Yuan's pill refinement in the crowd.
"Too terrific! This is true pill refinement! This is a true expert! I … I …" Talking until the back, Gu Yue was virtually rambling incoherently already.
Xiao Ruyan looked at him like looking at a moron and said speechlessly, "Didn't you say that you want to surpass Lord Qingyun Zi? Where did that confidence of yours go to?"
Gu Yue said, "That was merely youthful unbridledness, doesn't count! Now, I've already turned over a new leaf and swear to follow in Lord Qingyun Zi's footsteps! Starting from now, he's my idol, my life-long goal!"
Xiao Ruyan had nothing to say. This guy's transformation was also too great, right?
Yesterday, he was still young and frivolous. Today, he turned over a new leaf already?
However, Xiao Ruyan more or less also discerned a little. Gu Yue was really infatuated with alchemy Dao.
Only the fascination of alchemy Dao could turn a haughty youth into this.
&nbs
p; Speaking of which, wasn't Junior Apprentice Brother Ren Dong the same too?
In a twinkle, a day's time passed. Everyone was immersed in Ye Yuan's pill refinement, unable to extricate themselves.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan gave a light cry, "Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill, condense!"
The moment the essence fire was withdrawn, the medicinal pill was already formed!
Murmur . ..
Following Ye Yuan's essence fire withdrawing, the medicinal cauldron instantly turned into a pile of black charcoal, falling apart to pieces.
Ye Yuan lightly beckoned, and the medicinal pill flew into the container.
Han Qing Zi's expression turned intent, and he said in amazement, "This … It's done already?"
He entered the array formation to carry out the inspection of the medicinal pill impatiently. When he saw the medicinal pill, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.
"T-Transcendent-grade! You actually used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art to refine out a transcendent-grade Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill?" Han Qing Zi said in disbelief.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just a Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill. It's also not some unique medicinal pill, how can it be that hard to refine?"
Medicinal pills used to compete in alchemy were all not some truly special medicinal pills.
To a powerhouse like Ye Yuan, refining was completely as easy as blowing off dust.
Of course, that was referring to matching his strength. But the current Ye Yuan was merely just an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor. Saying these words was a little exaggerated.
Han Qing Zi was speechless as he said, "I've also heard about your matters. It was said that your soul force already broke through the limitations of cultivation realm. Actually, you're already half a middle-rank Alchemy Emperor now. It's just that even so, your refinement was also a bit too shocking!"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Reincarnating for another life, thought through some things that I couldn't figure out in the past instead. It's considered having some accidental gains. This Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill is seriously not considered a big deal to me."
Han Qing Zi smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "You brat, you're really a freak! Saying that you have the greatest hope of breaking through to the Alchemy God Realm is absolutely not just saying it!"
Actually, Ye Yuan did not tell the truth. The reason why he could attain such an effect was actually still all thanks to the refinement of the Nine Truth Pill the last time.
After that time, his understanding of alchemy Dao became even deeper. Even if he deliberately concealed Divine Dao laws, refining a medicinal pill like the Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill was still very effortless.
The refinement last time could be said to have utterly broadened his horizons, letting him stand on a higher level to look at the problem.
Going back to refine Tier 9 medicinal pills now, that feeling was totally different.
Ye Yuan patted Han Qing Zi's shoulders and said with a smile, "Thanks for your auspicious words! The matters over here will have to trouble elder brother. This guy still needs to refine god knows how long. I won't be keeping company."
Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Xiao Ruyan and the rest and immediately left. When Gu Yue saw the situation, he also waddled along and followed behind.
The moment Ye Yuan left, a large group of people dispersed with a loud bang, all running after Ye Yuan.
They did not know what they wanted to do either and just followed Ye Yuan regardless. Perhaps it was just purely wanting to see how this former apex expert was like at present.
Han Qing Zi could not help smiling wryly and saw Ye Yuan off with his gaze.
...
After half a day, it was already empty below the stage.
"Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill, condense!" Zuo Qing gave a fierce cry and the medicinal pill finally formed.
"Hahaha! Did pretty well this time! Even if it can't reach superior-grade, it shouldn't be far off as well!" Zuo Qing said with a loud laugh.
Suddenly, he discovered that something was not quite right, and could not help looking below the stage, and was immediately stunned: "Where are the people?"
Han Qing Zi gave him a pitiful glance and went up to pat him on the shoulders as he said with a sigh, "The people are already gone!"
Chapter 1037 - The Dog at Grand Master's Feet
"Master, that punk is still kneeling outside, insisting on acknowledging me as his master. I already taught him a vicious lesson just now, but he refused to leave!"
Xiao Ruyan was already messed by Gu Yue this sticky candy until she had no temper.
No matter how she hit, how she scolded, Gu Yue was completely indifferent.
In short, it was not retaliating when hit, not retorting when scolded, insisting on acknowledging Xiao Ruyan as his master.
"Milord, how about I go out and cripple that boy, and directly throw outside the city?" Jiang Taicang said ferociously.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No need to care about him. Grind down his disposition first before talking. Shuangzhou, I let you all send news out, saying that I want to collect Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen. Is it already done?"
Ruan Shuangzhou bowed and said, "Milord, the news was already let out. Your Excellency really has an immense reputation! Hearing that it was milord who wanted to look for these two kinds of spirit medicines, each and every one of them all said that they wanted to gift to milord for free. Now, pretty much the entire Cloudmarsh City is already stirred up, helping milord to find these two types of spirit medicines. But these two kinds of spirit medicines are too rare. Even if it's the Cloudmarsh City, there might not have either."
Ao Qian scoffed in contempt and said, "How are they looking on account of milord's face? They are gifting milord a favor. Although the Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen are seldom-seen, milord's favor is clearly more valuable compared to these two things!"
The matter of Ye Yuan utterly trashing Zuo Qing already spread crazily in Cloudmarsh City these two days.
For some time, the news of Qingyun Zi returning caused a huge commotion, and already became the entire Cloudmarsh City's greatest topic of conversation.
Qingyun Zi returned domineeringly. Not only did his alchemy Dao strength not decline, but it also became even more astonishing instead! With initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength, utterly trouncing the high-rank Alchemy Emperor, Deputy City Lord Zuo Qing.
This sort of thing was simply inconceivable!
However, Lord Qingyun Zi was a life-form that accompanied miracles in the first place. It seemed like accomplishing to this extent was not something hard to imagine.
Him being able to escape death in a great calamity and returning to Cloudmarsh City, wasn't it a miracle in itself?"
One had to know that Lord Qingyun Zi was the alchemist known as closest to Alchemy God. Making him owe a favor was too worth it.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If can really find it, what's the harm in owing a favor?"
One sentence, it made Jiang Taicang and Wu Lu both incredibly touched.
These two kinds of spirit medicines were precisely the high-grade Tier 9 spirit medicines necessary for refining the Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill.
These few days, they had already deeply experienced how heaven-defying His Excellency was.
Such a heaven-defying existence was actually willing to owe others a favor for them. How could this not move them?
The few people were just talking when a noisy din suddenly sounded out outside the inn.
Ruan Shuangzhou's expression changed, and he said, "I'll go and take a look at what's the situation!"
But Ye Yuan waved his hands to stop it and said, "No rush, take a look first."
Outside the inn, a young man led a group of people, while opposite them, was just Gu Yue alone.
"Jian Wushuang, I know that you bear a grudge with my grand-master! Want to
find trouble with him, go through me first!" Gu Yue had a grim look and said without weakening his imposing manner.
That young man called Jian Wushuang chortled with laughter and said, "Yo! Never heard before of Ji Qingyun accepting disciples in the past. It's just been 20 years, and he even has a grand-pupil already? However … who the hell are you? To also dare stop this seat?"
Gu Yue said with a cold smile, "Jian Wushuang, you pursued Spirit Snow Divine King back then but failed to win her heart and was even trampled by grand-master like a dog. You actually still dare to come in front of him to be insolent!"
The moment these words came out, everyone was marveling at Gu Yue's boldness.
This Jian Wushuang was the young sect master of one of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, the Heavenly Sword Sect. His Sword Dao cultivation pierced the heavens and penetrated the earth. It was said that he already had one foot stepped into the ranks of Void Mystic experts.
"Didn't think that the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time, the Heavenly Sword Sect came over too. Jian Wushuang heard that Lord Qingyun Zi came back, he'll naturally come to find trouble with him at the first moment."
"Yeah. Back then, Jian Wushuang pursued Spirit Snow Divine King bitterly but failed to win her heart. Spirit Snow Divine King only had eyes for Lord Qingyun Zi. The two people are sworn enemies."
"Especially when Spirit Snow Divine King suffered serious injuries and stayed for a month's time at the Medicine King Hall with Lord Qingyun Zi in close proximity. After this matter spread out, Jian Wushuang hated even more to the bones!"
"Back then, Jian Wushuang went up to the Medicine King Hall to challenge Lord Qingyun Zi by himself. The result was that he was crushed by his divine soul attacks until heaven and earth turned dim, and he suffered heavy injuries. If not for that battle, perhaps Jian Wushuang would have long broken through to the realm of Void Mystic already!"
"Looks like Gu Yue is determined to acknowledge Miss Xiao as master, to actually rebuke Jian Wushuang to his face! But with Lord Qingyun Zi's present strength, he's probably not Jian Wushuang's match!"
