"Eh? You came too? I … I was accompanying Source Night to stroll around in the city. He said to come to the Fiend Medicine Hall to take a look and I followed." Li Ji said with a slightly red face.
"Came with Source Night? Where is he?" Fan Yu said with a dark expression.
This punk, his younger sister accompanied to come out, but he was good, hanging his younger sister out here alone to dry.
But a glimmer of smugness flashed across in Li Ji's eyes as she said with a smile, "He's currently chatting with Grandpa Meng Qi! This chat lasted three days and three nights!"
"What?!" Fan Yu nearly jumped up, being taken aback with fright by Li Ji's sentence.
He turned his head and looked at Lu He, and said with his eyes wide-open, "Brother Lu He, the important guest that you said wouldn't be Source Night, right?"
Lu He beamed and said, "Who else can it be if not him? Heh, your Fan Family really remained deeply hidden, to have actually invited this kind of big shot and still maintaining your countenance."
Fan Yu said with a confused look, "B-Big shot?"
Source Night's strength was indeed not bad, but to say big shot, it was a little too far-fetched, right?
What in the world … happened in-between this?
Lu He even thought that Fan Yu knew. But looking at it now, he was really kept in a dark.
Li Ji said with a proud face, "Big Brother, I only knew that Source Night was actually even a Fiend Apothecary when I saw Source Night refining pills too! Furthermore, it's the very formidable kind …"
Li Ji described the events that happened previously with a look of excitement, making Fan Yu dumbfounded with shock.
His first reaction was, was this Source Night really that Source Night he knew?
Source Night's age seemed to be even quite a bit younger than him. How could he possibly be a fiend apothecary that even Lord Meng Qi looked up to?
But Li Ji was here, who could that be if not that Source Night?
He originally thought that Meng Qi was meeting some remarkable important person, that was why he would not even give face to Ka Xin.
He did not expect that it was actually Source Night!
No wonder, oh, no wonder!
That excitement when Lu He saw him, turned out that it was because of Source Night!
What kind of character was Fan Yu? He practically reacted to it right away. Lu He being extra familiar with him was treating him as a straw to clutch at.
Previously, because of helping Ka Xin to pass a message, he offended Meng Qi.
But he was Li Ji's elder brother. Li Ji and Source Night's relationship was very ambiguous. Meng Qi naturally regarded him as someone very close to Source Night.
This … Why did it feel like a dream?
...
A full three days had already passed since the Fiend Medicine Hall's five elders listened to Ye Yuan's sermon on Dao.
These three day's time, Meng Qi five people listened like they were in ecstasy and enrapture.
They had never known that pill refining still had so many tricks involved!
Especially when Ye Yuan performed a skill to focus on pill refinement, they used all kinds of methods and also could not distract Ye Yuan in the slightest.
Finally, Ye Yuan still refined a high-level medicinal pill, making them marvel in astonishment.
Only then did they know why Ye Yuan would say that they were weak previously.
They could not even accomplish the most basic focusing, let alone talk about refining high-level medicinal pills.
Ye Yuan also knew that the fiend race's disposition was hot-tempered. Most were frank without tact. Making him focus on pill refinement was indeed making things a little hard.
But, where there was a will, there was a way. Meng Qi they all failing to do so was primarily still because their method was not right.
Ye Yuan casually imparted some spirit calming and mind focusing spells to them. These old fellows were all akin to having obtained a priceless treasure, endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.
Meng Qi was currently in high spirits when Lu He came in and said that Ka Xin was looking for him. How could he not be furious?
Compared to advancing his own alchemy strength, what the hell did Ka Xin count as?!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, right, talking nonsense with you all these few days, forgot all about proper business."
The five elders were rendered speechless. How did this transmission and preaching of Dao become talking nonsense?
Except, the things that Ye Yuan narrated to them were really not that profound.
Similar to focusing, it was alchemists' basic skills, the five elders all could not do it.
For them to be able to refine complete medicinal pills could not be said to not be a kind of miracle.
Of course, even though Ye Yuan turned his nose up at the five elders' pill refinement, he could not underestimate fiend apothecaries either.
The fiend race's alchemy skills also had quite a few saving graces.
"I wonder what the proper business Master Source Night said is? Meng Qi will send people to go and do it right away! I beseech Master Source Night to be generous and preach Dao to us for a few more days!"
Meng Qi was incomparably respectful towards Ye Yuan now. Ye Yuan's alchemy standard was an existence that he could not look up to at all.
He even felt that those few Three-star fiend apothecaries in the city could not compare to a fraction of Master Source Night too!
Even though they could refine Three-star medicinal pills.
But Ye Yuan said, "Preaching Dao will end here first. Coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, I just wanted to purchase a few kinds of spirit medicines. In addition, I still have some matters and want to take a trip to the Hundred Knows Hall. You all can't do it on my behalf."
The moment Meng Qi said, he hurriedly said, "Isn't Master Source Night smacking Meng Qi's face by saying this? Just a few kinds of spirit medicines, what's there to buy? As long as the Fiend Medicine Hall has it, feel free to take it! If there isn't, the Fiend Medicine Hall still has the confidence in acquiring it within a short time! As for the Hundred Knows Hall that side, their door isn't easy to enter. How about this, you take my Blood Yama Token and go. Those guys won't cause problems for Master!"
Chapter 1491 - Grudge Is Sowed Big Time
The types of spirit medicines for the Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill were seldom-seen, but the Fiend Medicine Hall's strength was really not for show.
Meng Qi told Ye Yuan that within half a month, he would help him gather all of the spirit medicines.
Meng Qi's thoughts, Ye Yuan naturally took it into his sights. He also promised Meng Qi that half a month later, he would come again and preach the Dao to them.
Done with these, Ye Yuan went out of the door alone.
Although Li Ji was reluctant to stay behind, she was helpless to do anything too.
Ye Yuan going to the Hundred Knows Hall to inquire about information, she had nowhere to go and could only stay in the Fiend Medicine Hall.
Li Ji was no longer a little girl in Meng Qi's eyes now.
What did she say? That Source Night was her man?
This relationship, how could he not make good use of it?
What was the most powerful?
Not a man's fist, but a woman's pillow talk!
As for the matter of that batch of medicinal pills, it was even more of a cinch.
Meng Qi made the decision and directly half-sold half-gifted them to the Fan Family, absolutely being a friendship price.
Happiness came too suddenly, Fan Yu was somewhat at a loss on what to do.
The Fiend Medicine Hall's medicinal pills were in very short supply. Even the City Lord Manor had to pay a huge price to get it too.
Another batch of medicinal pills to a family's strength was rather significant.
To Ye Yuan, Fan Yu was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He wished to send Li Ji o
nto Ye Yuan's bed right away.
Coming out of the Fiend Medicine Hall, Ye Yuan's alarm bells went off!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
The sounds of tearing through the air came over. Several streaks of cold light flew over towards Ye Yuan at a terrifying speed.
It was concealed weapons!
"Explode for me!"
Huo En formed a seal. Those flying knives directly exploded in the air, turning into countless fragments, virtually sealing off all of Ye Yuan's escape routes!
Being struck by these shards, Ye Yuan's body would probably turn into a sieve!
A hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of Huo En's mouth. He knew that this mission was already completed.
His half-step Fiend Commander strength, scheming against the unwary, Ye Yuan absolutely could not possibly escape this assassination!
All of this was just something that happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint.
No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, it was also not possible to react.
Huo En did not go and look at Ye Yuan. He was already ready to get up and leave.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan's body suddenly disappeared from where he was!
"Phantom Kill!"
Huo En's expression changed drastically. A sense of danger instantly welled up in his heart.
Ye Yuan's figure actually turned into a blurry shadow and rushed over towards him!
Too fast!
With his strength, he could only barely manage to capture Ye Yuan's traces too.
"Bloodfeather Sword Art!"
Huo En shouted fiercely, his sword art stabbing over towards that vague shadow like lightning.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
In an instant, the two people exchanged blows no idea how many times.
The powerful undulations shocked the surroundings into a pile of ruins.
After several breaths, Ye Yuan appeared a thousand feet away, his complexion pale and breathing unstable. Clearly, it was a sign of overly exhausting his divine essence.
However, Huo End was not much better either. He gasped heavily for air. That bout of exchange just now rapidly consumed his fiend essence in an instant.
From when he took action to sneak attack Ye Yuan until now, only around ten breaths of time had passed.
Everything happened too quickly!
Huo En did not expect that Ye Yuan's strength was actually powerful to such a degree.
If not for him being an assassin, his reactions extremely quick, Ye Yuan's sneak attack earlier would have been able to counter-kill him!
This kid was too dangerous!
At this moment, Huo En finally knew how scalding these 30 million low-grade fiend essence stones were.
Take his life while he was ill!
Huo En was a competent assassin. He already perceived that that move just now was extremely taxing on Ye Yuan. Now, he already did not have much strength to retaliate.
Ye Yuan's speed was fast, Huo En's speed was likewise not slow.
As an assassin, speed was a mandatory requirement.
"Bloodfeather Sword Art!"
Blood-light suffused all over Huo En's body, his figure rushing towards Ye Yuan once more like lightning.
However, he already had no more chances.
"Stop!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Five figures made a move at the same time, blocking Huo En's path.
This place was right outside the Fiend Medicine Hall's front door. Such a large commotion, how could it not startle them?
Huo En's expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "I'm a member of the Assassination Hall, somebody offered a reward for this kid's life!"
Although the five elders were Fiend Apothecaries, their combat strengths were similarly not weak.
Fighting five-versus-one, they naturally would not fall into a disadvantage.
The reason why Huo En dared to take action here was that this place was their own territory.
Even if he killed people, nobody dared to say anything either.
Although the Blood Yama Hall's various branch halls were under different commands, they were one family after all.
Huo En never expected that it was precisely his own people who blocked his fatal blow.
He had kept guard outside the whole time and completely did not know the events that happened inside the Fiend Medicine Hall. He even thought that by reporting his background, the five elders would make way.
Meng Qi snorted coldly and said, "This old man hasn't reached the point where my eyes can't see clearly! How can I not know that you're a member of the Assassination Hall? Humph! You actually dared to make a move against our Fiend Medicine Hall's esteemed guest, this score, we'll find the Assassination Hall to settle it later!"
Huo En was stunned, doubting whether he heard wrongly or not.
Why did the Fiend Medicine Hall's five elders help an outsider?
For the sake of a boy who had nothing to do with them, they were actually going to go to war with the Assassination Hall?
Esteemed guest?
A kid whose hair was not fully grown, how did he become the Fiend Medicine Hall's esteemed guest?
"Meng Qi, what's the meaning of this? For the sake of an outsider, you're actually going to make things difficult for my Assassination Hall?" Huo En said in a solemn voice.
Meng Qi was greatly enraged as he said, "Master Source Night is our Fiend Medicine Hall's most noble guest! I'm warning you, if you dare to touch a hair of his, we aren't finished!"
Seeing Meng Qi fly off the handle like so, Huo En finally realized that he was not joking.
Master Source Night?
This kid, could it be that he was even an alchemy expert?
You have got to be kidding!
Meng Qi was, at any rate, a leading authority-class figure among Two-star fiend apothecaries too, to actually call a kid who was still wet behind his ears master?
Huo En felt that maybe the five elders have gone crazy?
He gave a cold snort and said, "Humph! Meng Qi, don't you forget, you're not the Fiend Medicine Hall's hall master! This matter, somebody will naturally come and find you!"
Meng Qi was hot-tempered too and immediately said furiously, "Heh heh, good! Very good! Your Assassination Hall is very tough now huh? Today's word, this old man has remembered it! Get lost!"
Huo En gave a cold snort, and then his figure moved swiftly, vanishing from everyone's line of sight.
Meng Qi turned to Ye Yuan, cupped his fists, and said with an apologetic look, "The Assassination Hall's people are becoming more and more insolent! Meng Qi failed in his hospitality and let Master Source Night fall into a dangerous situation. Meng g Qi's truly ashamed."
At this time, Meng Qi was actually incredibly shocked in his heart.
One had to know, that assassin was half-step Fiend Commander realm. Ye Yuan, a middle-level Fiend General, could actually retreat unscathed, it was truly surprising.
At this moment, he was incomparably certain, there was definitely a powerful existence behind Ye Yuan.
This young man was not simple! He must not be offended!
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing to do with you guys. Somebody else wants my life. Heh, with this, the grudge is sowed big time!"
Use one's b.u.t.t to think and one would also know, this incident was definitely Ka Xin causing trouble behind the scenes.
Failing to kill him at the gathering, this time, he actually hired an assassin to deal with him.
Did he really think that Ye Yuan was easy to knead?
Chapter 1492 - Blood Essence Contract
In order to prevent accidents, Meng Qi personally brought Ye Yuan to the Hundred Knows Hall.
With him coming forward, everything was naturally a cinch.
Under a manager of the Hundred Knows Hall's lead, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level. This was the place to receive VIPs.
"Sir wait for a moment here,
someone will come and receive you right away," said the manager and then left.
This was a very elegant room. A delicate fragrance hit one's nostrils, giving people a feeling of intoxication.
The tea was already brewed. Ye Yuan gently took a sip and praised, "Good tea! The morning dew of purple Qi coming from the East, tea shoots irrigated with spirit rain. Hard to come by, hard to come by! What's even harder to come by is the pair of skillful hands of the person who brewed the tea."
Space distorted. A beautiful figure slowly walked out of the void.
This woman's clothing was half-revealed, her skin fairer than snow, arch eyebrows and cherry lips; not at all inferior compared to Li Ji.
But compared to Li Ji's reservedness, this girl was zealous like fire, as if going to burn someone. Every twinkle and smile seemed to carry a flirtatious intention.
"Sir Source Night is indeed extraordinary, to actually see through the profundities in this room with a glance."
The woman slowly sat down not far away from Ye Yuan's side and said with all smiles, "Sir Source Night's erroneous praise, Yi Han isn't worthy of it."
The charming arts of this woman called Yi Han already reached the acme of perfection. Every careless action could give men immense temptation.
With Ye Yuan's concentration, he actually had a momentary lapse in mind too.
Clearly just drank a mouthful of tea, he actually felt parched.
However, it was also just that instant.
The firmness of Ye Yuan's Dao heart was rare in the world.
Wanting to use bewitching arts to confuse him was virtually without any possibility.
"Source Night came here to inquire about information and not play with girls. Miss Yi Han, please call the main person out," Ye Yuan said coolly.
When Yi Han saw that Ye Yuan's focus was so great, she could not help being secretly startled inwardly.
This Capone Capital City, the men able to withstand her bewitching arts were rare!
Yi Han covered her mouth and smiled as she said, "Sir Source Night is so oblivious to other people's feelings. Could it be that in sir's eyes, Yi Han can't compare to Li Ji?"
Ye Yuan's expression turned cold and he said, "Keep pestering unreasonably and don't blame me for not being courteous!"
But Yi Han said without a care, "Okay, this lowly one wants to see how Sir becomes impolite?"
