Coming back to his sense from shock, Ye Yuan asked, "Since that's the case, why does Senior say that this junior requires a hundred years' time?"
Dustless said, "Of course it's because of the World Suppressing Stele! You broke through to Deity Realm, you can activate some of the World Suppressing Stele's functions already. And apart from inscribing the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao, the World Suppressing Stele's greatest use is being able to change the flow rate of time!"
Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened. This function, he had already coveted it for a long time.
He did not expect that he could actually use it already!
Chapter 1298 - A Man Without Money Is No Man at All
"Hey, don't be happy too early! The World Suppressing Stele can only activate the first layer space right now. The time ratio is only one-to-ten. Your talent is indeed pretty good, but the Heavenspan World's talents are way stronger! Immortal Grove was one of them! Even for him, reaching this step took a thousand years too! Even if your talent is greater than his, 800 years is already the limit too. Which is also to say that you only have 80 year's time. These 80 years, you still have to divert attention and learn Formation Dao. 10 years, it's absolutely impossible for you to succeed!" Dustless struck down without showing the slightest bit of mercy.
In this world, how many dared to say that their talent was even greater than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove?
That was an existence closest to Heavenly Emperor!
While Ye Yuan was just a native of the Immortal Grove World, with innate deficiencies.
Wanting to surpass Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, that was nigh impossible.
Dustless' estimations were already regarding Ye Yuan infinitely highly!
80 years was the limit that Ye Yuan could reach already.
This was already an achievement that surpassed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.
But Ye Yuan could not wait 80 years. He only had 10 years' time!
And within 10 years, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to succeed!
However, Ye Yuan completely did not have the look of being beaten down on his face. He smiled and said, "Not trying, how would you know?"
To Ye Yuan, the most frightening was not difficulties but having completely no way.
As long as there was a way, he could face the difficulties and advance!
Wasn't this road crossed this way?
Even the Deity Realm, which no one had achieved in 100 thousand years, he succeeded too!
Nothing in the world was difficult for one who set his mind to it!
If Ye Yuan was scared from beginning to end, it would also be impossible to trigger Heavenly Dao and become the controller.
Talent was one aspect, but determination and hard work were just as important!
Dustless did not think that Ye Yuan was actually not the least bit dispirited.
On the contrary, the current Ye Yuan's gaze was sharp, filled with fighting intent from head to toe.
Dustless discovered that his understanding of Ye Yuan seemed to be too little.
If Long Teng was here, he absolutely would not say this kind of words.
Dustless let out a sigh and said, "Fine then. At this point presently, it seems like there's no other way as well."
Although he said so, Dustless did not harbor much hope in Ye Yuan.
Reaching initial-rank One Star Alchemy God within 10 years, this was indeed pushing people a little too much beyond their power.
"But, the first difficulty put in front of you right now isn't Alchemy Dao and Formation Dao, but … divine essence stones," Dustless continued.
Ye Yuan froze, also discovering the severity of the problem.
He had Dustless mentioned that the Heavenspan World's universal currency was divine essence stones.
Furthermore, divine essence stones were not that anybody could have. On mortals, under ordinary circ.u.mstances, it was impossible to have divine essence stones.
Martial artists cultivating, deducing Formation Dao, all could not dispense with divine essence stones.
But now, Ye Yuan was penniless. Even if he wanted to cultivate Formation Dao, there was also no way to start practicing.
When at the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao reached the acme of perfection. Casually refining a few medicinal pills could exchange for money.
Therefore, he had never worried about money before.
But now, he could only even refine the most basic Tier 1 divine pill, use what to exchange for money?
Don't count on the Liang Family, it was already pretty good that Liang Mingyu did not drive him out.
Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that it was truly a penny stumping a hero!
"This … This is really a problem!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"En?"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed. A knocking sound suddenly sounded out outside the door.
Opening the door to take a look, it was an unfamiliar little girl. Looking at the appearance, it should be a maidservant.
That maidservant was also sizing Ye Yuan up and said doubtfully, "You're Ye Yuan?"
When Ye Yuan heard this tone, it seemed like the arrival was somewhat unfriendly.
"It's precisely this Ye, may I ask for Miss's name?"
"I'm called Lan Qing, Miss Wanru's personal maidservant."
Ye Yuan brows raised and he said, "So, it's Miss Lan Qing. Is Miss Wanru well?"
Lan Qing looked at Ye Yuan and rolled her eyes as she said, "Well my *ss! Miss has been grounded!"
Ye Yuan frowned and asked, "What's going on here?"
"What's going on? You still have the cheek to ask! It's all because of you that Miss was grounded by that shrew! Furthermore, she even docked her three years of divine essence stones!" Talking to the back, Lan Qing suppressed her voice and said.
That shrew was an existence which she could not provoke.
If it was heard by someone, she was dead for sure.
Ye Yuan reckoned that the Liang Family probably did this in order to stop him from meeting her, that was why it was like this.
He only came to the Liang Family in order to protect Liang Wanru. But he suddenly discovered that he seemed to be a little too weak and could not help at all.
Musing for a moment, Ye Yuan opened his mouth again and said: "Could it be that Miss Lan Qing came to find this Ye in order to denounce me for my crimes?"
Lan Qing had already long seen through that Ye Yuan was merely a good-for-nothing who could not cultivate. She did not understand why Miss was so worried about him.
She snorted coldly and unwillingly threw Ye Yuan a storage ring, finally muttering to herself, "I really don't know what Miss thinks, clearly a cripple."
As she said, she turned right around and left, and could not be bothered to even give Ye Yuan another look.
Ye Yuan just smiled and did not mind.
He could tell that this Lan Qing was standing up for Liang Wanru, feeling indignant on her behalf.
Furthermore, she did not say wrongly either, wasn't the current him a cripple?
The storage ring was an owner-less item. Ye Yuan sunk his divine sense inside and discovered that inside the storage ring, there were a hundred milky-white stones.
"This lass is really delivering charcoal in the snow, to actually send you divine essence stone!" Dustless said in surprise.
Ye Yuan was stunned and said in surprise, "These are divine essence stone? Such thick spiritual energy!"
Ye Yuan had never seen before divine essence stones. Only when he heard Dustless' gasp, did he know that these milky-white stones were divine essence stones.
Divine essence stones were completely different from essence crystals. When martial artists absorbed the energy inside, they could directly convert it into divine essence.
Deity Realm martial artists' cultivation could not get away from divine essence stones.
The Heavenspan World's heaven and earth essence energy was not called essence energy but called spiritual
energy.
The energy concentration of spiritual energy was more than goodness knows how many times higher than essence energy, completely another level of energy.
And divine essence stones would only be produced in regions with an extremely high concentration of spiritual energy.
"Unfortunately, these are merely low-grade divine essence stones. Furthermore, the quantity is too little, completely not enough for you to cultivate," Dustless said.
But Ye Yuan said rather happily, "Having is better than nothing! Senior, this matter brooks no delay, where do we start from?"
Dustless also knew that time was pressing and did not hesitate at once, saying, "Start from the Divine Essence Pill then, this is the most basic divine pill already! Extract and refine the divine essence inside spirit medicines, condensing to form a pill, and providing for martial artists to cultivate. This is the pill formula, you go and buy some spirit medicines back first."
Ye Yuan had an additional pill formula in his mind. The spirit medicines that this pill formula needed were not many, looking very simple.
Ye Yuan knew that this Divine Essence Pill should be similar to mortal-grade medicinal pills, the likes of the Essence Gathering Pill and Explosive Yuan Pill.
Of course, this was completely the medicinal pills of two worlds.
Ye Yuan already made up his mind to definitely comprehend the Divine Essence Pill within the shortest time.
As long as he could refine the Divine Essence Pill, he would be able to rely on selling medicinal pills for a living.
Chapter 1299 - Myriad Treasure Tower
"Forget about the Liang Family. Senior, where do we go to buy spirit medicines?" Ye Yuan said.
Dustless said, "Go to the Myriad Treasure Tower then! The word-of-mouth of the Myriad Treasure Tower under Empyrean Myriad Treasure is still very secure. When Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was alive, he liked to go to the Myriad Treasure Tower to buy things too."
Ye Yuan nodded his head. Even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove acknowledged it, so he naturally would not have any objections.
Getting his things in order, Ye Yuan went straight out of the Liang Family.
Inquiring, Ye Yuan headed for the Myriad Treasure Tower. Dustless's voice sounded out in Ye Yuan's mind.
"Kid, there's a tail following. It's that Zhang Shun."
Ye Yuan was alarmed inwardly, but his expression did not change. He continued walking forward.
The Heavenspan World was totally different from the Immortal Grove World. Ye Yuan's divine sense could only extend roughly the distance of a hundred feet here.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao's suppression toward martial artists here was exceptionally powerful.
Under Divine Lord Realm, martial artists were unable to fly!
Hence, Ye Yuan's perception was far from as s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e as at the Immortal Grove World.
Fortunately, Dustless was incomparably powerful. At practically the first instant, he detected Zhang Shun's existence.
Zhang Shun was probably up to no good chasing after him.
"Looks like Liang Mingyu had some devious ideas," Ye Yuan replied.
"En, most likely took a fancy on that so-called beast taming technique of yours," Dustless said.
"I can't return to the Liang Family anymore. What should I do?" Ye Yuan asked.
"No worries. You have divine essence stones on you, can go to the Myriad Treasure Tower and rent a cultivation room, and focus on figuring out Formation Dao and Alchemy Dao. However, this will have to depend on your comprehension ability. If you're still not able to refine divine essence pills before the divine essence stones are depleted, this little life of yours … will probably be hard to preserve," Dustless said.
Ye Yuan's brows shot up, but he said with high morale, "Heh, this is considered driving me into a dead end? Looks like there's only going for broke."
Ye Yuan was a cripple now. What could move Liang Mingyu was probably just that non-existent beast taming technique. This was not hard to guess.
Luckily, he came out in time. Any later and he probably would not even be able to leave the Liang Family's gate.
Ye Yuan hastened his footsteps and arrived at the Myriad Treasure Tower very soon.
"Hiss, what a grand Myriad Treasure Tower!"
In front of him was a magnificent and imposing building.
Carved bal.u.s.trades and marble steps, richly decorated jade halls, a grand atmosphere, but completely did not have the air of an upstart.
"Heh, Empyrean Myriad Treasure corroborated his Dao with artifacts, and is the wealthiest heavenly emperor in this Heavenspan World! Even in this remote Jewelhill City, the Myriad Treasure Tower also isn't what the Liang Family, that sort of bumpkin, can rival," Dustless said.
Ye Yuan felt a burst of yearning when he heard this. But he recollected his mind very quickly and stepped into the Myriad Treasure Tower.
"This sir, our Myriad Treasure Tower has everything under the sun. I wonder, what do you require?" A pretty maidservant came up to receive him.
She was called Hong Yin, specifically responsible for guiding customers to shop.
Seeing Hong Yin, Ye Yuan's gaze involuntarily turned sharp.
A little maidservant was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse!
This Myriad Treasure Tower was indeed extraordinary!
Furthermore, this Hong Yin should be able to see through him at a glance. Although there was some disdain in her eyes, it was concealed very well. One could not even hear a trace of impatience in her words.
Indeed well-deserving of being a faction under a Heavenly Emperor's command!
"I need five catties of Divine Rain Silk, eight catties of Goldenwind Immortal Grass, six catties of Heavenly Silk Crystal …"
Ye Yuan listed out five to six kinds of divine rank spirit medicines in one go. Although these spirit medicines were divine rank spirit medicines, they were all entry-level.
Hong Yin could not help being stunned when she heard these but felt at ease very soon.
These spirit medicines were all beginner alchemists' spirit medicines. They were normally used for newcomers to get started.
This youth in front of her did not have the slightest trace of divine essence undulations, he was probably a cripple. He should be a servant of some alchemy god master, running errands for him.
"Alright, Sir. I'll send someone to fetch it at once. Is there still anything else you need?" Hong Yin asked again.
Ye Yuan continued, "I wish to rent a training room."
Hong Yin froze, buying so many spirit medicines and entering a training room for what?
Could it be that he did not need to deliver it back for his master?
How could a servant be so daring?
Suspicions were suspicions, Hong Yin still smiled radiantly and said, "Our Myriad Treasure Tower's training rooms are divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, four ranks. Heaven Rank training rooms are 1000 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones for a day. Earth Rank training rooms are 500 low-grade divine essence stones for a day. Mystic Rank training rooms are 100 low-grade divine essence stones a day. Yellow Rank training rooms are 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones a day."
Ye Yuan's face could not help turning stiff.
So expensive!
He originally planned on renting 10 days. A hundred low-grade divine essence stones were gone all at once, while the divine essence stones that Liang Wanru gave him were merely 135 pieces in total.
Subtracting away the costs of buying spirit medicines, what could he cultivate still?
Ye Yuan knew that the purchasing power of divine essence stones was still quite okay.
But the cultivation rooms in the Myriad Treasure Tower were truly too expensive as well.
"This … Is there a cheaper cultivation room?" Ye Yuan thickened his skin and asked.
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart for a while. He did not expect that he would actually have a day where he was so miserable too.
&nbs
p; Fortunately, before he came to the Heavenspan World, he already had sufficient mental preparations, and it was not to the extent of having a huge psychological drop. It was just somewhat sighing emotionally.
Hong Yin felt a bout of contempt in her heart. No money, put on an act for what?
Contempt was contempt, but Hong Yin was a very professional maidservant. She smiled faintly to Ye Yuan and said, "Of course. We still have ungraded cultivation rooms here, it only requires four pieces of low-grade divine essence stones a day. But, these ungraded cultivation rooms, the effects are much poorer, the cost to performance ratio isn't high. Does sir really want to rent it?"
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up. He only asked tentatively, did not expect that there really was.
He was only renting the cultivation room in order to refine pills. Good or bad did not matter.
Right now, he did not have the qualifications to cultivate at all.
"Alright, I'll rent for 10 days! You have someone directly deliver the spirit medicines to the cultivation room!" Ye Yuan said straightforwardly.
Hong Yin did not expect that Ye Yuan really rented it.
She was very perplexed by Ye Yuan's actions. Could it be that this young man who did not even have divine essence actually wanted to refine pills himself?
You have got to be kidding!
The professional Hong Yin smiled faintly again and said, "Okay, Sir. Adding the spirit medicines that you bought previously, it's 68 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones in total. Please pay the bill first."
Ye Yuan felt his flesh hurt, retrieving 68 pieces of divine essence stones from within the storage ring and paid the bill.
With this, inside his storage ring was only left with 67 pieces of divine essence stones.
If he was unable to use these 67 pieces of divine essence stones to refine a Divine Essence Pill, then what awaited him shall be death!
Right now, Ye Yuan already had no paths of retreat!
"Oh, right, if I can refine Divine Essence Pills, will your Myriad Treasure Tower accept it?" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
Hong Yin was stunned. This was still her first time encountering such a person!
