Ye Yuan used the greater part of a year and reached a height that others could only attain using a hundred years!
This kind of improvement speed already could not be said to be fast to describe it.
But Ye Yuan was not beaten down at all and said excitedly, "Senior doesn't know, that in the past, my life-long pursuit was to refine a divine pill! Now that I refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill, it can also be regarded as attaining a higher level in divine pills! Junior is naturally happy!"
Dustless's requirement toward Ye Yuan was not superior-grade, but … divine-grade!
Chapter 1304 - Guest Alchemist!
The grades of divine pills were not identical to mortal-grade medicinal pills.
Above superior-grade was heaven-grade, and above heaven-grade was divine-grade!
Just take the Divine Essence Pill for instance; refining an ordinary low-grade Divine Essence Pill could match a month's bitter cultivation.
Reaching high-grade, it could match a year of bitter cultivation.
While divine-grade was sufficient to match ten years of bitter cultivation!
Ten years of bitter cultivation was nothing in the cultivation of this Deity Realm.
But the grades below divine-grade, if a person kept on taking them, the medicinal effects would continue to weaken.
But divine-grade would not!
This was also to say that if you could refine enough divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, your cultivation speed could reach ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times of others!
This way, the ordinary to the extreme Divine Essence Pill became extremely extraordinary.
However, mortal-grade transcendent-grade medicinal pills were not worth mentioning at all in front of divine-grade Divine Essence Pills.
It could not even compare to heaven-grade!
And in the various major shops, they would never sell heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills.
As for divine-grade, that was just a grade in the legends.
Therefore, even though Ye Yuan refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill, Dustless was still pessimistic about him.
Divine Essence Pill was just a kind of basic medicinal pill. It was still far from the One Star Heavenly Mark Pill!
One Star Heavenly Mark Pill was a divine pill even harder to refine than the Profound Essence Pill!
In this regard, it was very in-line with Ye Yuan's cultivation mentality.
That was that the foundation must be solidified!
Refining the Divine Essence Pill to divine essence was precisely in order to solidify the foundation.
...
"Sir Ye, you finally exited seclusion! The last time you gave Hong Yin quite a few high-grade Divine Essence Pills, it gave Hong Yin a fright! I wonder this time, will Sir Ye give Hong Yin a pleasant surprise once again?"
When Hong Yin saw that Ye Yuan came out, she went forward to greet him with a wide grin, cracking a joke with him.
Interacting a few times, Ye Yuan also became much more familiar with Hong Yin, especially after limitlessly providing Ye Yuan spirit medicines and divine essence stones.
Recently, these few days, Ye Yuan exhausted large quantities of spirit medicines and divine essence stones. Even Hong Yin felt a bit overwhelmed too.
Especially in the last two days, there were already quite a few people gossiping.
Fortunately, after Manager Su knew about this matter, not only did he not blame her, he notified the warehouse side instead. Only then did it suppress those gossips.
However, if Ye Yuan really only ate and not vomited, it would make things difficult for her.
Hong Yin was also wagering, she was eying on Ye Yuan's potential!
If she could attract a future alchemy genius for the Myriad Treasure Tower, her position in the Myriad Treasure Tower would rise like the boat rising with the tide.
Ye Yuan had read countless people, how could he not perceive that hint of nervousness in the depths of Hong Yin's eyes?
"I wonder if this is considered a pleasant surprise or not?"
Ye Yuan placed the superior-grade Divine Essence Pill in front of Hong Yin with a smile.
Hong Yin's pupils constricted, her eyes full of incredulity.
"Sir Ye, this … this … is too amazing!" Hong Yin was agitated until she was almost incoherent.
No matter what grade of divine pill, the raw materials required were all the same.
Hence, the higher the grade, the higher the added value of the medicinal pill.
Similarly, materials worth 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones, once it reached superior-grade, then it was worth 500 low-grade divine essence stones.
This was a 50-fold increment!
How could Hong Yin expect that Ye Yuan actually refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill so quickly?
Ye Yuan smiled and handed a storage ring to Hong Yin, saying with a smile, "The fruits in this period of time are all here. The Divine Essence Pill is useless to me, I didn't take a single one, it's all for the Myriad Treasure Tower."
Hong Yin received the storage ring and examined, and was immediately stunned.
Inside the storage ring, there were actually quite a dozen Divine Essence Pills. Furthermore, among them, 60% and above were high-grade, only 40% was low-grade.
She looked at Ye Yuan like she saw a ghost, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Previously, backtracking from Ye Yuan's medicinal pills, Hong Yin estimated that Ye Yuan's pill refinement success rate was around 30%-40%.
Truthfully speaking, it was already rather high!
But now, Ye Yuan's success rate was actually as high as 70%!
This kind of success rate could be rated as frightening!
Even Manager Su probably could not reach such a terrifying success rate either.
"S-Sir Ye, you wait a moment, I have to report this matter to Manager Su! The pleasant surprise that you gave me was seriously a little too huge."
Hong Yin said and disappeared with a whoosh.
Ye Yuan smiled and found a place himself to sit down.
With Ye Yuan's personality, he did not like to be so high-profile. But if he did not reveal some strength, it was impossible for him to receive the Myriad Treasure Tower's high regard.
What he had to face currently was the powerful Liang Family. Furthermore, his divine sea was damaged. If he did not find a backstage supporter, it was very hard to beat the Liang Family.
And the Myriad Treasure Tower was clearly the best supporter.
He believed that it was impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower's upper echelons to sit by idly and remain indifferent towards such a rising alchemy new star.
Ye Yuan was clear about this in his heart; his improvement in this period of time, even Dustless was dumbfounded. It was impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower to remain indifferent.
One superior-grade Divine Essence Pill was enough!
...
"You're saying that youth called Ye Yuan refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill with Formation Dao Pill Refinement?"
A man in opulent clothing was also shocked when he heard Manager Su's report.
Manager Su nodded and said, "With this old man's experience, it absolutely won't be wrong! From the divine essence stones as well as the amount of spirit medicines that he consumed, it's not hard to determine, these Divine Essence Pills all originated from the Lesser Divine Essence Formation!"
The man in fine clothing mused for a moment and said, "If this is really the case, our Myriad Treasure Tower is in a favorable position. Investigated the background clearly?"
Myriad Treasure Tower said, "Investigated clearly, he was saved by the Liang Family's eldest miss in the wilderness, his origins unknown … Now, the Liang Family seems to be hostile and wanted to harm him. That's why he would hide in our Myriad Treasure Tower and not dare to go out."
Manager Su rattled on, he actually already turned Ye Yuan inside out.
The man in fine clothing was sligh
tly surprised as he said, "In that case, he had the intention of exposing his alchemy talent to us and seeking our protection?"
Manager Su said with a smile, "Looking at it now, it seems so!"
The man in fine clothing mused briefly and seemed to be muttering to himself, "According to what you all said, this boy has clearly just came into contact with alchemy not long. Such talent is truly terrifying, his future prospects are bound to be limitless! This kind of talent, once learned by Jewelhill City's other forces, he'll surely be seized openly! Unless we kill him now, otherwise, it's establishing a strong enemy for ourselves! We have no reason to refuse! Manager Su, you come forward on behalf of this tower lord and hire Ye Yuan to be the Myriad Treasure Tower's guest alchemist. All of the expenses that his pill refinement needs, count it all in my Myriad Treasure Tower's books. Also, he's completely without the power to protect himself right now, send Luo Jian to protect him."
Manager Su bowed and said, "Tower Lord is wise!"
Manager Su knew that Tower Lord Yang Rui was a person with tremendous foresight, and could definitely see Ye Yuan's potential.
Yang Rui scolded laughingly, "You old punk, stop s.u.c.k.i.n.g up! Oh, right, Hong Yin did very well this time, promote her a grade and bestow her a heaven-grade Divine Essence Pill."
Manager Su said smilingly, "Then this old man will thank Tower Lord on behalf of Hong Yin."
Chapter 1305 - Luo Jian's Sword!
Upon exiting the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan was blocked by Zhang Shun and another person.
"Sir Ye, you've made us search for you bitterly. This disappearance is a month's time!" Zhang Shun said with a bitter smile.
Ye Yuan was clear in his heart, but pretended to be puzzled and said, "Find me for? I heard that the Myriad Treasure Tower's cultivation rooms were pretty good, so I came here to cultivate for some time."
Zhang Shun was stupefied and said, "Cultivate?"
You, a fellow with a damaged divine sea, cultivate what?
Bullshitting wasn't done like this, alright?
Ye Yuan smiled but said nothing. Was cultivating alchemy not considered cultivation?"
Zhang Shun laughed dryly and said, "Ha, it's like this, Eldest Miss became seriously ill and has no appetite for food and drinks. Second Miss said that you're the closest to her, so we're asking you to return. Maybe it can make Eldest Miss take a turn for the better a bit."
The two of them kept watch for so long and felt that Ye Yuan might have perceived a little something. Hence, that was why they made up a lie to trick Ye Yuan back before talking.
There were too many people on the streets, it was hard to make a move.
Actually, it was not considered a lie either.
Because Liang Wanru was really almost dying!
Sure enough, Ye Yuan's face fell, and he said, "What's going on?"
Zhang Shun revealed an upset expression on his face and said, "This Zhang doesn't know what's going on either. It's just that this period of time, her mood became more and more dejected, and she had less and less appetite for food and drinks. Now, she already can't get down the bed!"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and said, "Go, return to the Liang Family."
Ye Yuan walked in front. Zhang Shun and the other person exchanged a glance, secretly ecstatic.
But Zhang Shun discovered that a guy in worn-out clothes and bristly stubble was currently hugging a sword and following them unhurriedly.
Zhang Shun's heart sank. This guy, he actually could not fathom him.
The Myriad Treasure Tower was not far from the Liang Family. Ye Yuan sped up and entered the Liang Family very soon.
Zhang Shun discovered that that sword-hugging man actually wanted to enter too, and could not help stepping forward to stop the other party.
"This brother, this place is the Liang Family's manor, please stop!"
The sword-hugging man seemingly did not hear his words at all, walking over straight towards him.
Zhang Shun's face fell and was about to make a move with another person.
But when the two of them just had this thought, only to see two gusts of strong wind arrive with a howl.
The two people's gaze turned intent, their bodies abruptly stopping.
Two strands of broken hair floated down. The two people's backs were instantly matted in cold sweat.
Such a quick sword!
The two of them did not see how this gruff man attacked at all!
They did not doubt in the slightest that as long as that sword earlier was somewhat deeper, the two of their heads would definitely be gone already.
In the time where they were dazed, the sword-hugging man already followed Ye Yuan in.
"Senior, where's Wanru?" Ye Yuan asked in a solemn voice.
"Inside the dungeon at the backyard. I'll lead you over," Dustless said.
Under Dustless's guidance, Ye Yuan found the dungeon's entrance very soon.
The ones watching the dungeon were all mortals. Ye Yuan sent them flying with a punch.
Inside the dungeon, Ye Yuan found the gaunt and thin Liang Wanru.
Her two eyes were sunken, her lips purple. Clearly, she was already deeply poisoned.
However, when she saw Ye Yuan, that dead gray eyes finally glowed with a trace of light.
Ye Yuan felt his heart ached. Such a kind-hearted girl, why did she have to suffer such unfair treatment?
He squatted down by the bed and said softly, "Come with me, alright? This place already has nothing worth for you to look back anymore."
Liang Wanru's eyes revealed a look of struggle. Finally, she still nodded her head.
Ye Yuan let out a deep sigh. At this point, this girl still had a hint of sentimental attachment.
He reached his hands out and carried Liang Wanru, walking straight outside.
Luo Jian was just like a shadow, following behind Ye Yuan unhurriedly.
"Today, I, Ye Yuan, owe you a favor!" Ye Yuan said when he passed by Luo Jian.
Luo Jian did not speak and did not indicate anything either. he still followed Ye Yuan just like that.
Upon exiting, the dungeon's entrance was already surrounded by a large group of people.
The two people in front were precisely Liang Mingyu husband and wife.
"Ye Yuan, you ungrateful and despicable villain! My daughter saved you, but you actually repaid kindness with ingratitude and injured our Liang Family's guards!" Liang Mingyu shouted.
Ye Yuan looked at him, a hint of cold light flashed across in his eyes.
It was said that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, this Liang Mingyu was simply worse than a beast.
"Heh, what did I say? That beast tide that time was probably done by this boy himself! He coveted that whore's beauty, that's why he would deliberately draw the beast tide to play out a hero rescuing the beauty!" Wang Pianran fanned the flames at one side.
Liang Mingyu's brows furrowed. He was rather s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to the word 'whore.'
His daughter was a 'whore', then what was he?
But at this time, it was clearly not the time to fuss over these.
Ye Yuan discovered that this family was simply unreasonable.
Liang Wanru being born in this kind of family and was actually able to maintain her original nature was truly not easy.
"Repaying kindness with ingratitude? Or is it having diabolical ambitions? Miss Wanru saving me, that's what I owe her. This young master will naturally repay her. As for you guys, what has it got to do with me?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
"What a joke! Wanru is my daughter, her saving you is naturally the Liang Family saving you! You didn't think to pay and actually even abducted Wanru! Today, you can forget about walking out of the Liang Family's gates," Liang Mingyu said coldly.
Ye Yuan smiled and opened his mouth to say, "Repay? I wonder if I hand over the beast taming art, would you all be satisfied?"
When Liang Mingyu and Wang Pianran heard 'beast taming art,' the three words, their eyes all lit up, their em
otions becoming agitated.
But Liang Mingyu was rather shrewd. How could he display his own greed so easily?
"Humph! Boy, don't give me that! You barged into the Liang Wanru and abducted Wanru, this is an unforgivable crime! Put down Wanru right now and surrender obediently without putting up resistance. Perhaps this family head can still spare your life!" Liang Mingyu said with insidious plans.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Family Head Liang, you really want to lead the life of a whore and also expect a monument to your chastity! However, not only does this young master want to go out today, I even want to bring Miss Wanru along with me. If you have the capabilities, come and try stopping."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan carried Liang Wanru and walked straight out.
"Heh, a crippled boy actually dared to boast so shamelessly! Do you think that by relying on that fellow behind you, you can break out of our Liang Family? You're also looking down on the Liang Family's strength too much!"
Liang Mingyu gave a cold laugh. Instantly, over a dozen figures surrounded Ye Yuan and Luo Jian.
Looking from these people's auras, they were actually all initial-stage Grotto Profound powerhouses!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Over a dozen figures assaulted Ye Yuan at the same time, not giving Luo Jian the slightest opportunity to save people.
But right at this time, everyone felt a blur before their eyes. Over a dozen gusts of fierce wind abruptly howled past.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Blood light suffused!
The dozen over figures were directly sent flying out by these dozen over gusts of strong wind.
Liang Mingyu's pupils constricted and looked at Luo Jian in disbelief as he cried out in shock, "Gale Sword! You … you're the Myriad Treasure Tower's Luo Jian!"
Luo Jian rarely showed face in public, but his Gale Sword was very renowned.
The moment he attacked, Liang Mingyu finally recognized him.
Such a swift sword, who else could it be apart from Luo Jian?
"Ye Yuan is my Myriad Treasure Tower's guest alchemist. Whoever touches him, shall be the enemy of the sword in my hand!" Luo Jian spoke for the first time.
