Divine Lord Realm, was the first hurdle! The Selfless in this case, is actually Anatta, from Buddhism.
Chapter 1302 - Pill Formed!
"Hong Yin, you normally never make mistakes. But today, you already slipped up quite a number of times. Did you encounter something recently? I see that you seem to be somewhat absent-minded today," an old man said to Hong Yin.
Hong Yin had worked for the Myriad Treasure Tower for a very long time already. She had never made mistakes before.
But today, her entire person seemed to be muddle-headed. It was either counting the divine essence stones wrongly or getting the wrong things for the customer.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he could not refrain from coming up to remind.
Hong Yin said slightly apologetically: "Manager Su, really sorry. The mistakes made today, deduct from my wages!"
Manager Su shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. This old man sees with my own eyes when you do things normally, so why would I deduct your wages for this minor thing? I see that you keep on looking around today like you're waiting for someone. Could it be that … you took fancy on some family's son?"
Hong Yin's face flushed bright red, and she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "What's Manager Su thinking of? I was just … I was just somewhat curious."
"Curious?" Manager Su wondered.
Heavenly Dao nodded her head and did not have the intention of concealing it either, narrating Ye Yuan's unusual situation that day, and said, "Today is just nice the tenth day, wonder if he succeeded or not. Hence, I've been restless all along."
Manager Su chortled with laughter when he heard and said, "Oh, Hong Yin, you're also a veteran of the Myriad Treasure Tower already. Why would you have this kind of naive thoughts? A guy who doesn't even have divine essence, how can he possibly refine a divine pill? You also said it, that youth was merely 30 to 40 years old. This age, one can't even accomplish learning the rudiments in alchemy, still want to refine pills with Formation Dao? What do you take those alchemy masters in the city to be?"
Hong Yin could not help being stupefied when she heard that, only then, feeling that she seemed to really be somewhat heading down a blind alley.
Around 30 to 40 years old, he was merely a youngster in the Heavenspan World.
Just as Manager Su said, how could this age possibly refine pills with Formation Dao, and refine divine pills?
Hong Yin was currently in a daze when a suit of azure robes walked out from the inner halls.
That place was precisely the direction that led to the cultivation rooms.
Ye Yuan walked straight towards Hong Yin and opened his mouth and said, "Miss, you said before that the Myriad Treasure Tower takes in middle-grade Divine Essence Pills. I wonder if it's still valid?"
The moment these words came out, not just Hong Yin, even Manager Su also shuddered all over, using a gaze like they had seen a ghost to look towards Ye Yuan.
"You … You … You really refined the Divine Essence Pill?" Hong Yin was even stammering when speaking.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I refined it. But there's only one. I wonder if the Myriad Treasure Tower will accept?"
Hong Yin did not answer Ye Yuan but used a strange gaze to size Ye Yuan up and down.
She wanted to find a trace of divine essence undulation from Ye Yuan.
But sadly, she was disappointed.
No divine essence!
Not even the slightest trace!
"Could it be … Could it be that you really …"
Hong Yin's words did not ask finish yet and were cut off by Manager Su.
He said with Ye Yuan smilingly, "Of course! Our Myriad Treasure Tower never refuses cooperation with alchemists. As long as the Divine Essence Pill you refined meets the requirements, we'll take them all!"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and took out a gray-black medicinal pill, medicinal fragrance suffusing everywhere.
Hong Yin and Manager Su's gaze turned intent. The quality of this Divine Essence Pill was even better than they imagined!
Middle-grade Divine Essence Pill was not without any surprises at all.
Good quality ones could come close to high-grade. Poor quality ones would also not be too far away from low-grade.
This middle-grade Divine Essence Pill that Ye Yuan took out, the quality was rather decent.
Although it was not at the level close to high-grade, compared to middle-grade Divine Essence Pills, the quality was much better.
Manager Su said, "Little Brother, our Myriad Treasure Tower is equally honest with the old and young when doing transactions. Your middle-grade Divine Essence Pill's quality is pretty good, the selling price will be a little higher than ordinary middle-grade Divine Essence Pills. This medicinal pill, I'll give you 28 pieces of divine essence stones."
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with clasped hands, "This one should be the manager, right? Then, thank you very much! However, just give me 16 pieces of divine essence stones. That will do. I still have 3 pieces of divine essence stones here, I still want to rent another day's cultivation room. The rest, help me exchange all of it for the Divine Essence Pill's materials."
The remaining three pieces of divine essence stones were naturally leftover from Ye Yuan developing the array formation.
The array formation for refining Divine Essence Pills was called Lesser Divine Essence Formation.
This was an array formation specifically created for the Divine Essence Pill. The divine essence stones that it required were not many; just eight pieces.
Ye Yuan had 67 pieces left previously. Which was also to say that he only had eight chances.
Although the Lesser Divine Essence Formation only required eight pieces of divine essence stones, the complexity of this array formation far exceeded Ye Yuan's imagination!
Lu Linfeng's Formation Dao could be sad to be a pinnacle existence in the Immortal Grove World.
So much so that he already deduced the Heavenly Dao belonging to him.
But those array formations were not worth mentioning at all in front of this puny little Lesser Divine Essence Formation!
The two were on completely different orders of magnitude!
An array formation piled up with a mere eight pieces of divine essence stones virtually depleted all of Ye Yuan's mental energy.
Fortunately, Ye Yuan's Formation Dao foundation was much more solid than Dustless imagined.
Back then, inside the Peach Blossom Formation, Ye Yuan studied the array formation and laid down a solid foundation for Divine Dao array formations, making him infer some aspect of Divine Dao array formations from a glimpse.
Under the heavy pressure, Ye Yuan erupted with limitless potential.
He deduced the array formation frenziedly. In the following 55 days, Ye Yuan pushed himself to the limits.
That sort of craziness, even Dustless was secretly dumbfounded when he saw it too, exclaiming that he was sick.
However, what surprised Dustless even more was that Ye Yuan actually just lacked a tiny bit more to enter the Selfless Realm once again!
Ye Yuan at that time already entered a kind of mysterious state. But in the end, it still fell short of success by one step.
The Selfless Realm was too difficult to enter!
But Ye Yuan was not without harvests either. It was precisely the critical state this time, that let Ye Yuan's Formation Dao attainments advance by leaps and bounds, finally comprehending the Lesser Divine Essence Formation.
At that time, even Dustless whose eyes were at the top of his head also screamed out freak.
He totally did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really completed an impossible task in a short 100 day's time!
Formation Dao, medicinal properties, Ye Yuan comprehended all of it. It was just missing this final step of refinement.
Logically speaking, once the Lesser Divine Essence Formation was completed, as long as one placed the spirit medicines in a suitable position inside the array formation, it would b
e able to automatically complete the refinement.
But Ye Yuan's comprehension of the Lesser Divine Essence Formation was still very shallow. In the process of the pill refinement, various unexpected situations would occur.
The time still had five days remaining. Ye Yuan still had the last 27 pieces of divine essence stones remaining, which were also three refinement opportunities.
Because once the array formation activated, the energy inside the divine essence stones would be depleted, becoming barren rocks.
The first chance, Ye Yuan's refinement failed without the least bit of surprise.
Ye Yuan spent three day's time and consolidated the experiences of the first failure.
The second refinement, he finally succeeded!
But unfortunately, what was refined this time was merely a low-grade Divine Essence Pill.
Ye Yuan settled down and researched another day. Finally, at the last juncture, he refined this middle-grade Divine Essence Pill!
After Ye Yuan returned to the cultivation room once more, Hong Yin and Manager Su exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment from the other party's eyes.
"This boy's talent is truly terrifying! Hong Yin, you continue to pay attention to him. If he needs any help, do whatever it takes! In addition, the Divine Essence Pills that he refines, purchase all of them at a high price!" Manager Su said with a slightly solemn gaze.
Chapter 1303 - Unlimited Supply!
"Damn it! That punk really stayed at the Myriad Treasure Tower! I'm perplexed, where did he get divine essence stones?"
"I've already inquired before, Eldest Miss had Lan Qing send this boy quite a few divine essence stones."
"So, it's like that! But with Madam around, Eldest Miss doesn't seem to have much divine essence stones in her possession either, right?"
"En, at most, it's also around a hundred pieces. The Myriad Treasure Tower's Yellow Rank cultivation rooms need 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones too. He can't last past a few days. We can't afford to provoke the Myriad Treasure Tower. Just keep watch here then."
"Eldest Miss had always stood aloof from the world these few years, Madam couldn't find an excuse to mess with her either. This time, she sent that boy divine essence stones. This finally let Madam get the opportunity."
"Yeah! This matter concerns the Liang Family's rise and fall, even Family Head has nothing to say either. Want to say, Eldest Miss is also really pitiful. These few years, she has been badly oppressed by that pair of mother and daughter."
"Isn't that so. Now, she's thrown into the dungeons. That pair of mother and daughter probably won't let her off easily."
Zhang Shun duo waited for ten days outside the Myriad Treasure Tower, filling them with burning anxiety.
However, the Myriad Treasure Tower was not what the Liang Family could afford to provoke at all. They could only keep an eye on the Myriad Treasure Tower too, awaiting Ye Yuan to come out.
The more they waited, the more irritated the two people got.
A cripple actually wasted so much of their time.
But, hearing the meaning in their words, Liang Wanru was actually thrown into the dungeons by Wang Pianran because of sending Ye Yuan divine essence stones.
With Wang Pianran's methods, she naturally would not let Liang Wanru off so easily.
This time, perhaps she would be put to death.
At this time, ten days had already gone by inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan left seclusion once more.
When Hong Yin saw the two middle-grade Divine Essence Pills in front of her, she could not help being shocked until she could not close her mouth.
She knew that the Divine Essence Stones on Ye Yuan was only sufficient to launch the Lesser Divine Essence Formation twice.
This was also to say that Ye Yuan's current success rate was 100%!
One had to know, Ye Yuan bought ten sets of spirit medicines previously and only took out a middle-grade Divine Essence Pill.
This improvement speed was truly a little too terrifying, right?
Of course, if she knew that before entering the cultivation room, Ye Yuan was still an out-and-out layman, wonder what she would feel.
Hong Yin was a Myriad Treasure Tower's veteran already. She knew how great the difficulty of Formation Dao Pill Refinement was.
Because nobody in Jewelhill City could perform Formation Dao Pill Refinement!
Not only Manager Su was this Myriad Treasure Tower's head manager, but he was also a peak One Star Alchemy God!
But even he could not perform this Formation Dao Pill Refinement either.
However, Ye Yuan actually already grasped Formation Dao Pill Refinement at this time. Furthermore, he even had such a high success rate, how could this not dumbfound Hong Yin?
"Sir is truly an alchemy genius; improvement speed is too quick! It has just been a day, and the quality of Divine Essence Pill that you refined is much better than before again! In another few days, Sir will probably be able to refine high-grade Divine Essence Pills," Hong Yin exclaimed.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Miss is too kind, my luck was just a little better."
Not that Ye Yuan was modest, it was really that his luck was good.
With only two chances, Ye Yuan swallowed another two sets of spirit medicines before refining in order to familiarize himself with the medicinal properties.
Only all the way until the last two days did he start refining.
With Ye Yuan's current strength, the assurance in refining Divine Essence Pills was also merely around 30%.
He did not expect that the two times actually all succeeded.
Hong Yin's beautiful eyes stared at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Sir, just call me Hong Yin will do. I wonder what's Sir's name?"
Ye Yuan said, "So, it's Miss Hong Yin, I am Ye Yuan."
"Sir Ye is so talented, to actually be completely unknown previously, Hong Yin is truly ignorant and ill-informed," Hong Yin said probingly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Ye just entered the city not long ago and is temporarily staying with the Liang Family."
Ye Yuan did not conceal it. He believed that with the Myriad Treasure Tower's strength, if they really wanted to check, it was very easy to find out.
Hong Yin was greatly surprised when she heard that. The Liang Family was one of Jewelhill City's big family clans. It was absolutely impossible to not even be able to take out this bit of divine essence stones.
Looking at Ye Yuan's pedantic appearance, it seemed like his relationship with the Liang Family was rather strange.
But, Hong Yin was also an experienced girl and did not bring it out on her face, but smiled radiantly and said, "So that's how it is. Will Sir continue to exchange these two Divine Essence Pills for divine essence stones and spirit medicines?"
Ye Yuan said with clasped hands, "I'll have to trouble Miss Hong Yin."
Two middle-grade Divine Essence Pills were 56 divine essence stones. Ye Yuan's financial situation became much better off all of a sudden.
He still only rented a day's cultivation room, exchanging all of the rest to spirit medicines and divine essence stones.
Time passed day by day, Ye Yuan's comprehension towards the Lesser Divine Essence Formation became deeper and deeper. The quality of the Divine Essence Pills refined also became higher and higher.
On the seventh day, Ye Yuan finally refined a high-grade Divine Essence Pill!
With this, Ye Yuan was finally considered to have leaped over the dragon gate.
To him, this was not a high-grade Divine Essence Pill, but 80 divine essence stones.
What Ye Yuan needed the most right now were divine essence stones!
Roughly the cost of 10 pieces of divine essence stones and refining a high-grade Divine Essence Pill worth 80 pieces of divine essence stones, this kind of incremental effect was what Ye Yuan was most willing to see.
When Hong Yin saw this high-grade Divine Essence Pill, she was shocked until she could not close her mouth once mo
re.
Although the Divine Essence Pill was the most basic divine pill, Ye Yuan's improvement speed could simply use horrifying to describe!
However, what she was surprised by was still about that thing.
Following Ye Yuan's financial situation becoming more and more well-off, he had even more chances to refine medicinal pills. The understanding of medicinal properties and Lesser Divine Essence Formation also become deeper and deeper.
Hence, his success rate got higher and higher, the quality also became more and more stable!
In-between this, Hong Yin arbitrarily made a decision!
Limitlessly providing Ye Yuan divine essence stones and spirit medicines, as long as Ye Yuan handed the refined medicinal pills to the Myriad Treasure Tower.
Ye Yuan agreed without any hesitation. What he needed the most right now was practice.
With the support of a colossal titan like the Myriad Treasure Tower, he could finally go all out to refine Divine Essence Pills.
On the tenth day, the Divine Essence Pills that Ye Yuan refined were already stabilized at high-grade.
On the 18th day, the 280th day inside the World Suppressing Stele!
Inside the array formation, light faded away. Eight divine essence stones became barren rocks.
But a bright glint flashed across in Ye Yuan's eyes, revealing an excited expression.
"Haha, finally formed!"
Looking at the superior-grade Divine Essence Pill in his hand, Ye Yuan also felt inexplicably excited.
Divine pills were too hard to refine. In these 250 days, he refined pills, deliberated, refined pills, deliberated, over and over like this, no idea how many times he repeated it!
All the way until today, refining his first superior-grade Divine Essence Pill.
"Heh, just superior-grade, is there a need to be happy until like this? Refining a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill is merely just the beginning!" Dustless struck down without any mercy.
Although his words were said like that, Ye Yuan's improvement, Dustless took it into his sights every day and was long deeply convinced by Ye Yuan's talent already.
He felt that Ye Yuan was simply a genius born to refine pills!
