Ye Yuan knew that this was Wang Lingbo deliberately hanging him out to dry.
But Ye Yuan did not reveal the slightest hint of unhappiness. He just clasped his hands slightly at that doorman and bade his farewell.
Looking at Ye Yuan's departing back view, the doorman also felt somewhat surprised.
"This kid is really tenacious. If it were others, they wouldn't be able to take it long ago," the doorman muttered to himself.
These few days, they changed ways to make things difficult for Ye Yuan, various kinds of suddenly turning hostile, even pouring tea on Ye Yuan's face. But Ye Yuan did not have any complaints. After smiling slightly, he stood at one side and waited again.
Just today, a Wang Family's descendant came to the gate-house and gave Ye Yuan a beating with blocking the way as the reason.
Ye Yuan still did not fight back when beaten and did not talk back when scolded.
Honestly speaking, even the doorman himself also could not quite look on anymore.
If it were others, they would have long left in a rage.
But Ye Yuan forcefully endured it.
The time limit that Ye Yuan set for himself was five days. After five days, if Wang Lingbo was still not willing to meet, he would cultivate himself, and refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill!
Ye Yuan had sought a heaven-grade Detoxification Pill from Fengping. After Liang Wanru consumed it, it temporarily suppressed the spread of the Poisonfeather Thousand Night's poison.
Fortunately, the heaven-grade Detoxification Pill was effective enough and was able to delay the Poisonfeather Thousand Night's poison for 40 days before flaring up again.
This way, Ye Yuan would have 40 days of buffer time.
The refining difficulty of the Detoxification Pill was much greater than the Divine Essence Pill.
But to Ye Yuan, this was an incidental thing.
According to Dustless's way of saying, the next step was to practice refining the Detoxification Pill. It just happened to lay down the foundation for the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill.
However, Ye Yuan had to first cultivate the Divine Essence Pill to divine-grade.
This task was very difficult. Ye Yuan himself also did not know whether or not it could be completed, and he also could not bear to watch Liang Wanru suffer.
Therefore, being aware that the Wang Family was deliberately insulting him, he also forcefully tolerated it.
Fortunes changed, there would come a day where the Wang Family had to pay the price for their actions.
Luo Jian followed behind Ye Yuan unhurriedly; a glimmer flashed across his eyes.
This kind of look was rare on him.
"Haha, Brother, it's really liberating! You really don't know how arrogant this brat was at the Liang Family that day! I didn't expect that he doesn't even dare to let out a fart until now! Looks like that little girl still has some means, to actually enthrall this boy until he loses his head, willingly suffering such humiliation for her."
Getting to know the 'fruits' of these few days, Wang Pianran laughed very delightedly.
Wang Lingbo smiled faintly and said, "This boy is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, but can suffer such humiliation. This determination isn't easy to deal with! This kind of person, if can't become friends with, then there's … only making him die!"
But Wang Pianran was indifferent as she said, "Brother, you worry too much! Just a cripple. If not relying on the Myriad Treasure Tower, he'd die however I want to make him die!"
Wang Lingbo glanced at this foolish sister of his, shook his head, and said no more.
He called the doorman over and instructed, "Tomorrow morning, when that boy comes, directly lead him to the great hall."
...
The next day, when Ye Yuan showed up at the Wang Family's great hall, Wang Lingbo, Wang Pianran, Liang Wanrong, were already waiting in an arranged order, in the solemn manner of a tri-hall joint hearing.
Ye Yuan did not mind either. He just clasped his hands at Wang Lingbo and said, "Ye Yuan has seen Family Head Lingbo!"
Wang Lingbo narrowed his eyes as if he did not see Ye Yuan at all. His attitude was very haughty.
"You're the Myriad Treasure Tower's newly promoted guest alchemist?"
"Yes!"
"Looks very ordinary! You're looking for me for the Poisonfeather Thousand Night's antidote?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That's right? Miss Wanru is at any rate Family Head Lingbo's niece. Hope that you can raise your hand in mercy and let her off!"
"Huhu, niece? Ye Yuan, you're telling bald-faced lies here! My brother only has one niece, that is Rong-er! That whore, if she dies, she dies! To dare be mentioned in the same breath with my family's Rong-er?" Wang Pianran giggled.
That face piled up with fats looked incomparably hideous.
Wang Lingbo said coolly, "What Pianran said is right, that lass has no blood relations with me at all, on what basis should I save her? Or is it that you can take out something that can move this family head?"
While talking, a glint flashed across Wang Lingbo's eyes.
Beast taming arts that could command a late-stage Tier 1 divine beast, even Wang Lingbo also had to be tempted.
Ye Yuan looked at Wang Lingbo and said coolly, "I know that you all want the beast taming art, but I don't have any beast taming arts at all!"
Wang Pianran immediately berated, "Do you take us to be three-year-old children? You, a cripple, but can control a late-stage Tier 1 divine beast. Without beast taming arts, how can you possibly do it?"
Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense. A surge of faint dragon pressure was released.
Feeling this surge of dragon wave, Wang Lingbo's pupils constricted.
Although this bout of pressure was not strong, it was indeed an authentic dragon race pressure!
He finally knew that Ye Yuan was not lying, his eyes revealing a thick look of disappointment.
His face turned cold, and he said, "Since you don't have beast taming arts, then what right do you have to make me save an unrelated person? Moreover, that lass's existence is a threat to Rong-er in itself!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "This Ye has nothing valuable. But, as long as Family Head is willing to save Miss Rong-er, this Ye is willing to refine pills for the Wang Family for 10 years, and not take a single cent!"
Wang Lingbo smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you really think that I'll believe that you're some guest alchemist? An alchemist would go and seek help from Feng Ping? Just a cripple, what medicinal pills can you refine? However … I can give you a chance. If you accomplish it, it's not that I can't save that girl."
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, and he said, "Family Head, please say."
Wang Lingbo smiled coldly and said, "Your actions, Rong-er is very upset. She has already cried about it to me several times! As long as you can make her happy, it's not impossible for this family head to save her."
Liang Wanrong walked down from the hall at this time, circled around Ye Yuan twice, and said smugly, "Boy, didn't think that you'd land in this young lady's hands one day, right? Weren't you very c.o.c.ky? Didn't you look down on this young lady? If you have the capabilities, say it one more time!"
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and bowed deeply to Liang Wanrong and said, "It was this Ye who was rude, hope that Miss Wanrong doesn't take offense!"
Liang Wanrong said delightedly, "Want me to not take offense, also can! I just have one request, kneel down, and call this young lady grand-aunt thrice! Maybe if I'm happy, I'll let Uncle give you the antidote!"
Behind Ye Yuan, Luo Jian involuntarily gripped his sword, truly somewhat unable to look on anymore.
But all of a sudden, Liang Wanrong's gaze became hazy. Her complexion became flushed, and she pounced toward Wang Lingbo.
Chapter 1309 - Luo Jian's Appraisal
"Uncle, actually, Rong-er has already liked you for very long!"
Liang Wanrong sprinted all the way. While running, she even took off her clothes and headed for the Wang
Lingbo sitting above.
She had fallen for Ye Yuan's move last time, and now the same thing happened. She was too elated with the situation that she forgot it. She had long tossed the matter of falling for this move back then beyond the nine clouds.
Caught unaware, Ye Yuan directly made her succ.u.mb.
When Wang Pianran saw this scene, she could not help jumping with fright. Why would her daughter suddenly become like this?
Wang Lingbo's brows furrowed. Waving his hand, it was a slap.
Slap!
A clear slapping sound echoed throughout the entire great hall, clear and audible.
Liang Wanrong was directly slapped until she spun in the air. When she landed on the ground, she was already out cold.
"Rong-er! Brother, what are you doing!"
Wang Pianran screamed at the top of her voice, and she hurriedly went over to help up her daughter.
But Wang Lingbo ignored his sister. He used a murderous gaze to look at Ye Yuan.
"Ocular arts! Heh, I really underestimated you! But … you deserve death!"
Wang Lingbo's face was cold. Clearly, he had killing intent aroused towards Ye Yuan.
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If we can't see eye-to-eye, then don't talk anymore. But don't take this Ye to be an idiot! Luo Jian, let's go!"
Ye Yuan turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Luo Jian's gaze. His look when looking at Ye Yuan finally had a slight change.
Wang Lingbo's brows furrowed and he said coldly, "If you dare to walk out of this front door, that girl will be dead for sure!"
Ye Yuan turned around and looked at Wang Lingbo as he said with a faint smile, "Rest assured, even if you die, Wanru won't die! Not only won't she die, but she'll even open her mouth and speak anew, stepping into Deity Realm. She will let you all, people who bullied her, have a good look!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left, and did not look back again.
Wang Lingbo laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha … Ignorant child! My Wang Family's Poisonfeather Thousand Night, even Feng Ping that old fart can't do anything about it. With just the likes of you, a brat who's still wet behind the ears? Dream on!"
As for what Ye Yuan said, making Wanru open her mouth and speak, and step into Deity Realm, Wang Lingbo even directly chose to ignore it.
This … was impossible!
The reason why Ye Yuan chose to take action against Liang Wanrong was that he saw through this family, and they had no good faith at all.
He had been examining the words and expressions all along. When Wang Lingbo learned that he did not have beast taming arts, he thoroughly lost interest in him.
What replaced it was a look of disdain and banter.
This kind of people's words, Ye Yuan would not believe at all.
Even if he really knelt down for Liang Wanru, it was also impossible for Wang Lingbo to give him the Poisonfeather Thousand Night's antidote.
The reason why he said so was entirely in order to humiliate him.
If he really knelt down and begged, not only would the other party not give him the antidote, they would even go from bad to worse.
Hence, he decisively chose to take action against Liang Wanrong.
She wanted to humiliate him, then let her disgrace herself first!
Ye Yuan walked straight out of the Wang Family and never looked back.
Looking at Ye Yuan's departing back view, Wang Lingbo's expression was grim to the extreme.
...
"This Ye Yuan, what do you think of him?" Yang Rui's gaze was deep as he asked Luo Jian.
He had Luo Jian follow Ye Yuan. It was to protect Ye Yuan and also naturally to monitor and observe Ye Yuan.
After all, Ye Yuan's origins were unknown.
"High morality reaching up to the clouds, wise and farsighted, unfathomable!" Luo Jian appraised.
Yang Rui's gaze flickered, revealing a look of surprise and he said in surprise, "Oh? Someone able to make you evaluate like so isn't simple! This boy is truly so impressive?"
Yang Yui knew that Luo Jian's experience was exceedingly vast. Ordinary people could not enter his arcane sights at all.
There had never been a person who could make him appraise so highly before.
High morality reaching up to the clouds, he could understand. Wise and farsighted was also barely passable.
But a cripple with a damaged divine sea, no matter how formidable, it was limited too. Luo Jian actually used 'unfathomable' to describe him. It truly made Yang Rui very surprised.
"Perhaps, he's a dragon wandering the shoal!" A glint flashed in Luo Jian's eyes.
Yang Rui's face revealed a musing look, and he said, "Then your meaning is that us roping this boy is correct?"
Luo Jian was silent for a moment and then said, "Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Yang Rui frowned and said, "Then do you think you can refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?"
Luo Jian shook his head. Clearly, he also did not think that Ye Yuan could create a miracle.
After all, there were only over 30 days.
And Ye Yuan seemed to only know how to refine Divine Essence Pill currently. Wanting to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill, this was simply something impossible.
...
Returning to the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan applied for sufficient quantities of medicinal herbs and divine essence stones from Manager Su. He then directly chose to enter closed-seclusion.
Out of 40 days, four days were already spent. He still had 36 days, which was also a year's time.
In this one year, not only did he have to cultivate the Divine Essence Pill to divine-grade, he even had to cultivate the One-star Detoxification Pill to divine-grade!
This task was even more daunting than him cultivating the Divine Essence Pill.
Starting closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan began to refine day and night.
Although Ye Yuan's understanding of the Lesser Divine Essence Formation became increasingly profound, wanting to refine a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill, it was still far too lacking.
He was still a long away from heaven-grade right now!
"The Lesser Divine Essence Formation is the foundation of all rank one pill refining formations. Not training it to the acme of perfection, it's impossible for other array formations to have any accomplishments," Dustless said.
"Senior, rest assured. I have a score in my heart and won't rush for quick results," Ye Yuan said.
"En, although your talent is extraordinary, wanting to cultivate the Divine Essence Pill and Detoxification Pill to the divine-grade realm within a year is still too forceful! Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared."
"No need to be mentally prepared. I'll definitely succeed!" Ye Yuan said with a sharp gaze.
Dustless looked at Ye Yuan and said no more.
He discovered that Ye Yuan belonged to that kind of becoming stronger when encountering something stronger personality.
The greater the difficulty faced, the more his fighting intent surged instead.
Although pill refinement did not compare to fighting, the difficulty placed in front of Ye Yuan was even greater than fighting.
Calm whenever encountering major issues!
This was the feeling that Ye Yuan gave Dustless.
Before failure, he would absolutely not see that sort of dispirited mood from Ye Yuan.
It seemed like Ye Yuan would never consider the issue of what happens after failure.
Dustless also had no choice but to admit that this kind of quality was extremely rare.
Perhaps Ye Yuan had come along this way, relying on precisely this quality.
One had to admit that entering the Selfless Realm at that time, the help to Ye Yuan was seriously too great.
According to normal comprehension, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to comprehend the medicinal properties of those few kinds of spirit medicines to such an extent in
such a short time.
Through the refinement previously, Ye Yuan's comprehension of the spirit medicines' medicinal properties already reached 80%!
Adding on Ye Yuan's comprehension towards the Lesser Divine Essence Formation becoming deeper and deeper, his attainments in the Divine Essence Pill advanced by leaps and bounds.
Half a month later, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine superior-grade Divine Essence Pills.
One and a half months later, Ye Yuan finally refined a heaven-grade Divine Essence Pill for the first time.
Three months later, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills!
Finally, Ye Yuan arrived at the threshold of refining a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill!
Chapter 1310 - Drawing Parallels from Inference!
Heaven-grade!
Heaven-grade!
Still heaven-grade!
Half a year already passed since Ye Yuan entered closed-seclusion. But no matter how Ye Yuan refined, he was also unable to break through to divine-grade!
Heaven-grade to divine-grade was like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how hard Ye Yuan worked, he was also unable to cross it.
Three months ago, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine heaven-grade medicinal pills.
But three months passed, Ye Yuan made no progress at all.
"Senior, I've already completely comprehended the spirit medicines' medicinal properties. The Lesser Divine Essence Formation is also thoroughly comprehended already. Why is it that I just can't refine divine-grade Divine Essence Pills?" Ye Yuan wondered.
Dustless said, "Divine-grade is not in the ranking in the first place. Refining heaven-grade medicinal pills, as long as one worked hard, it can be achieved. But divine-grade, it will depend on one's comprehension ability and lucky chances! For the same type of medicinal pill, divine-grade is another kind of realm! Only with repeated tempering can one have a possibility of comprehending Dao. But this to you is the hardest. Three months' time, it is too short!"
One could say that divine-grade was the grade that tested an alchemist's pill refinement talent!
Insufficient talent, no matter how hard you worked, it was also not possible to refine divine-grade medicinal pills.
