But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, he did not believe even if beaten to death.
"Humph! Prepare the spirit medicines! I want to see what kind of medicinal pill he can refine! Kid, don't blame me for not warning you, I'll give you three chances. If you can't refine, bear the consequences yourself!" Meng Qi said solemnly.
Ye Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Relax, this level of medicinal pill still can't stump me. Don't need three times, once is enough."
"Haha, what high-sounding sentiments! Young man, better to be a little more low-key, or the wind might sprain your tongue!" Meng Qi laughed from extreme fury.
Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer.
Very soon, the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill's spirit medicines were ready.
Ye Yuan said to Meng Qi, "Borrow divine fire to use!"
The moment these words came out, everyone's faces all revealed a peculiar look.
A Fiend Apothecary actually did not have his own divine fire?
Did this guy really know how to refine pills?
A divine fire was the divine rank state of essence fires.
Ye Yuan's Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had long already advanced to divine rank and become a divine fire. But after Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame did not evolve along with it.
Now, when Ye Yuan refined pills, there was no convenient divine fire to use. He could only find Meng Qi to borrow fire.
"Looks like I have to find a chance to let the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus evolve. This isn't the way to go. If only Fiery was by my side."
Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart and unwittingly missed Fiery.
On the road of becoming a fugitive, Ye Yuan virtually spent all of his savings, just to familiarize himself with Two-star spirit medicines' medicinal properties.
When he came out of Wu Meng Capital City, the low-grade divine essence stones on Ye Yuan were very sizable. He had about as much as 80 million.
The divine essence stones that the Myriad Treasure Tower awarded to Ye Yuan was 40 million.
In addition, Ye Yuan successively killed Qin Tian as well as Lin Xiu, Qin Zheng, and the rest. The storage rings on them were all taken into Ye Yuan's possession.
Counting it together, when Ye Yuan left, the divine essence stones on him were plenty.
On the way of fleeing, each time Ye Yuan reached a city, he would sweep up the goods and purchase spirit medicines.
Presently, there was already plenty of room to spare for Ye Yuan to refine Two-star divine pills.
But this Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, it was really his first time refining.
Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove studied the fiend race's medicinal pills greatly. But Ye Yuan only obtained the knowledge from Dustless there after all. As for the specifics of how to refine, he had not tested it before.
But with Ye Yuan's present alchemy strength, refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, this kind of medicinal pill, was nothing difficult.
Meng Qi gave a cold snort and held his palm out. A pale-white fire seedling appeared in the palm of his hand.
"A Fiend Apothecary without even a divine fire actually dares to spout empty rhetoric too! I want to see how you refine pills! Humph!" Meng Qi said with a cold snort.
The fire seedling floated over in Ye Yuan's direction. Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. With a slight finger movement, the small fire seedling immediately grew into a fire tree.
The exquisiteness of the technique, those Fiend Apothecaries actually could not see through!
"White Elegance Devil Flame. Uh, it's not bad. I'll make do and use it then," Ye Yuan said.
When Meng Qi saw this scene, he could not help being shocked inwardly.
Disregarding anything else, just this technique of controlling fire was much stronger than him.
His own divine fire was actually so obedient and docile reaching Ye Yuan's hands. This made titanic waves set off in his heart.
Even he himself could not do it to this degree too!
This … This was also demoralizing.
However, this was just the beginning.
When Ye Yuan started refining the pill, Meng Qi's pride was directly washed away by wave after wave of floodwaters!
"What impressive fire controlling methods! This kid actually really knows how to refine pills! Furthermore … his level is quite high!"
"What kind of refinement method is this? Never seen it before!"
"Yeah! It's totally different from our pill refining techniques! But why do I feel that this technique is of a much higher level than ours?"
"Stupid! That Dao acc.u.mulation! His technique secretly contains Heavenly Dao, obtaining Heavenly Dao's support!"
...
Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, Meng Qi was utterly dumbfounded.
This was a true expert!
Just this pill refining technique was already on a completely different level than him!
The Fiend Medicine Hall's five elders all had their eyes glued at this time, fearful of missing any step.
This kind of master-level refinement could not be seen simply if they want to!
Li Ji's cherry lips opened slightly and never shut before the whole time.
Cool!
Too cool!
She watched Ye Yuan refine pills and was actually wholly enraptured.
Since young, she had also seen quite a few Fiend Medicine Hall's fiend apothecaries refining pills.
But no one had ever given her this feeling of being refreshed in mind and spirit.
"Condense!"
No idea how long had passed either, and then it was only to hear Ye Yuan cry out lightly. The furnace fire extinguished, the medicinal pill formed!
Ye Yuan sighed and said, "First time refining, the fire control still isn't quite there yet. The quality of the medicinal pill is probably not too ideal."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan reached out his hand and beckoned. A medicinal pill flew into the jade vessel.
"S-Superior-grade! Superior-grade Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill! Hiss …"
Everyone all s.u.c.k.e.d in a mouthful of cold air, looking at Ye Yuan like they had seen ghosts.
This medicinal pill barely managed to reach the level of superior-grade.
Superior-grade Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill was still called not too ideal?
Meng Qi wished to give himself a tight slap. This was too demoralizing!
Him refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, the best grade was also just middle-grade. He had never refined before high-grade.
Another person refining for the first time, and it was a superior-grade!
This disparity … was too great!
He did not doubt Ye Yuan's excuse. Meng Qi knew that it was probably really Ye Yuan's first time refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill!
Even though Ye Yuan's refining technique was extremely profound, that awkwardness and inexperience when just starting could not be concealed.
This kind of situation, he had seen them too many times among newbies.
But along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan clearly gradually entered an optimal state and found the feeling. Hence, the more he refined, the smoother it got.
Chapter 1489 - Already Came, Leaving for What?
"Your Highness Ka Xin, please wait!"
Ka Xin brought Lian Huo and just entered the Fiend Medicine Hall when he was stopped by a One-star Fiend Apothecary.
Although Ka Xin's status in the capital city was very high, in the Fiend Medicine Hall, he did not dare to be unbridled too.
"Ah, Brother Lu He. I made an appointment with Lord Meng Qi ten days ago. There are some important matters to discuss with him," Ka Xin cupped his fists and said.
Even though the other party was just a One-star Fiend Apothecary, he was Lord Meng Qi's accomplished disciple. Ordinary people could not afford to offend.
Lu He said, "Apologies, Your Highness
Ka Xin. Master he's currently meeting an important guest in the inner-hall and has already instructed, nobody is to disturb him!"
Ka Xin frowned and said, "Even I'm not an exception too? I'm here representing the City Lord Manor, this matter is likewise no trivial matter! Moreover, I've already made an appointment ten days ago."
"This …"
Lu He's face revealed a difficult look. Ka Xin's status was indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, Ka Xin was not here representing himself. He was representing the City Lord Manor.
Although the Blood Yama Hall did not fear the City Lord Manor, face still had to be given.
"Why not … Better trouble Brother Lu He to go and pass on a word. Presumably, Lord Meng Qi won't dismiss me," Ka Xin said with clasped hands.
Lu He thought about it, nodded, and said, "Alright then, I'll go and ask Master."
Lu He turned around and went in. Lian Hua smiled and said, "Wonder what kind of big shot Lord Meng Qi is seeing, to actually even ignore our affairs."
Ka Xin smiled and said, "To be able to refuse us outside the door, it must be an incredible major figure. I reckon that it might very likely be a Three-star Fiend Apothecary."
Lian Hua nodded her head, clearly quite in approval of this.
Coincidentally, Fan Yu also entered the Fiend Medicine Hall at this time.
Seeing Ka Xin and Lian Hua, Fan Yu's heart thumped, secretly thinking not good.
The Fiend Medicine Hall released a batch of medicinal pills recently. They were in very high demand now. Quite a few factions went into action without delay.
Among these, the one with the strongest competitive power was naturally the City Lord Manor.
Although the alchemy strength of Meng Qi and the rest were too trash in front of Ye Yuan, the medicinal pills produced by the Fiend Medicine Hall were indeed very popular in Capone Capital City.
In the fiend race, good Fiend Apothecaries were too few.
The City Lord Manor had long gotten the news. Hence, Ka Xin made an appointment with Meng Qi ten days ago to meet today.
Ka Xin had a smile on his face as he said, "Heh, Brother Fan Yu came a step late. Lord Meng Qi isn't meeting guests today, better go back."
Fan Yu's expression was somewhat ugly as he said with a cold snort, "Your City Lord Manor eating meat, aren't you even going to leave a mouthful of soup for people to drink? This time, our Fan Family will definitely fight it out with you!"
Ka Xin laughed and said, "Heh, I'm about to go in and finalize this matter with Lord Meng Qi right away, what will you use to fight to the bitter end with me? Haha, want to fight it out, come early next time."
The muscles on Fan Yu's face twitched a few times, suddenly feeling powerless.
The four great families' foundations were still much worse compared to the City Lord Manor!
People had money and power. Each time the price offered, it was 30% higher than the rest. How to discuss things?
At this time, Le He came out of the inner-hall, the expression on his face rather ugly.
When Ka Xin saw Lu He's expression, his heart involuntarily thumped.
"Brother Lu He, what did Lord Meng Qi say?" Ka Xin said with clasped hands.
Lu He said crossly, "Your Highness Ka Xin, please return! I asked you to go back, but you insisted on me going to disturb Master! Now, just great. I got a good scolding from him right to my face, are you happy?"
Clearly, Lu He was already unable to maintain his original demeanor.
This scolding was not light!
Just now, the moment he entered and just reported Ka Xin's name, he was scolded angrily by Meng Qi. Even expelling from tutelage, this kind of words, was uttered.
It would be weird if Lu He's mood could be good!
Ka Xin had an awkward look. Stuffing a storage ring into Lu He's hands, he said, "Here are 50 thousand low-grade fiend essence stones, just take it as Brother Lu He's laboring fees. Since Lord Meng Qi is meeting an important guest, then Ka Xin won't disturb anymore. I'll come to visit again another day."
Who knew that Lu He directly pushed the storage ring back and said, "Just now, Master was already very angry and even said expelling me from tutelage, this kind of words! Aren't you making me take the road to ruin here? Quickly go, quickly go!"
Ka Xin was extremely depressed. He did not know just what kind of important guest Meng Qi was meeting.
Even meeting City Lord, it would not be to an extent where he expelled his own disciple from his tutelage for relaying a message, right?
Moreover, he did not hear of any remarkable major figure who came to the city recently!
Later, better inquire about it, and make some appropriate compensation.
If he were to offend the Fiend Medicine Hall because of this matter, the losses would outweigh the gains.
Getting rebuffed, Ka Xin had an unhappy look too.
He glimpsed at the Fan Yu who was unwilling to give up by the side, and he said indifferently, "Come on, didn't hear that Lord Meng Qi is currently meeting an important guest? Could it be that you want to cause Brother Lu He to be scolded one more time?"
These words had somewhat of an ulterior motive. It was clearly to irritate Lu He!
Lu He was in a bad mood just now and directly ignored the Fan Yu by the side.
Only after Ka Xin saying this did he notice that Fan Yu had already stood at one side for very long.
Lu He took care of many things for Meng Qi throughout the year and was also a smooth and artful figure.
When he saw Fan Yu, his eyes immediately lit up and he went forward to greet with a smile: "Turns out that Young Master Fan Yu came too. Apologies, apologies, Lu He did not entertain well."
Those words of Ka Xin's just now actually already made Fan Yu give up.
He did not expect that Lu He actually took the initiative to engage in small talk with him.
One had to know, he did not even give face to Ka Xin earlier!
"What's Brother Lu He saying? It's Fan Yu who suddenly paid a visit and imposed on you," Fan Yu hurriedly said.
Lu He smiled and said, "Young Master Fan Yu coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, it's also in order to request an audience with Master, right?"
Fan Yu was slightly embarrassed, but still nodded his head and said, "Fan Yu will leave right away and won't cause trouble for Brother Lu He anymore."
Lu He was taken aback with fright and hurriedly pulled him, saying, "Don't! Already came, leaving for what? I'll go in to report right away, you wait a minute."
Done talking, Lu He directly turned around and left.
Ka Xin already walked to the entrance, but forcefully stopped his footsteps.
He looked at Lu He's departing back view, enraged until his complexion was livid!
What the hell was this?
Since the beginning to end, Lu He never showed him a good attitude.
Even if he agreed to go in and report just now, it was also with a reluctant look.
But now, Fan Yu himself said that he was going to leave, but Lu He took the initiative to hang onto Fan Yu and not let him leave. Lu He even took the initiative to go in and report!
Didn't he say earlier that Meng Qi even said about expelling from tutelage, this kind of words?
Fan Yu himself also had a baffled look, completely not knowing what happened.
His relationship with Lu He did not seem to be good to this kind of extent, right?
Before long, Lu He came out gleefully and said to Fan Yu, "Master said, let Young Master Fan Yu wait in the side-hall for a while. When he's done over at his side, he'll immediately come and see you!"
Happiness arrived too suddenly. Fan Yu completely did not react to it.
What happened?
By the side, Ka Xin's expression was long already black as the bottom of a wok.
Chapter 1490 - Double Standards
"Brother Lu He, what's this? Didn't you say that Lord Meng Qi isn't seeing anyone?"
Ka Xin tried his best to make his tone see
m calmer, covering up the rage in his heart.
This double standard was also a little too obvious, right?
He had not even left yet!
Lu He's brows furrowed and he said unhappily, "Mn? Your meaning is that I'm lying to you? Why not do this then? After Master comes out, we'll confront face-to-face?"
Although Ka Xin tried his best to control his tone, the skepticism in his words could not be concealed no matter what.
Lu He's anger rose up with a puff.
He helped him go in to report. Putting aside that he did not get any benefits, he was even scolded angrily by Master.
Meng Qi did not have just him, one disciple, alone. A single misstep and he fell out of favor, there would be nothing to do with him in the future.
Forget it if Ka Xin was not grateful, he even wanted to question him.
Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. Lu He finally stopped showing Ka Xin a nice attitude.
Ka Xin said with an awkward look, "Brother Lu He misunderstood. I …"
Lu He directly cut off his words and said with a cold smile, "I didn't misunderstand anything! The matter previously, just take it as it didn't happen. Consider it myself being opinionated. Just treat it as I was careless in making friends. Your Highness Ka Xin, please go back!"
Ka Xin's expression changed, knowing that this was offending Lu He to the core.
He stood there, unable to leave nor stay.
Lu He said in a cold voice, "Why? Your Highness is not leaving? Could it be that you still want me to send Your Highness out?"
Ka Xin finally left dejectedly. But the grievance nursed in his heart, no one could understand.
With his status and standing, when had he been subjected to this kind of treatment in Capone Capital City before?
The more he thought, the more amiss it felt, and he said in a solemn voice, "There must be something wrong with this! How can the Fan Family and Fiend Medicine Hall's relationship possibly compare to ours? Today's incident is too abnormal, I must investigate clearly who Meng Qi was meeting!"
...
Fan Yu followed Lu He to the side-hall with a blank look. Pushing the door and taking a look, he saw an all too familiar figure.
"Li Ji? Why are you here?!" Fan Yu said in surprise.
