Dustless said in surprise, "Just what realm are you right now?"
Alchemy Dao was fleeting and ephemeral. Even comparing him with other Two-star Alchemy Gods, the disparity in strength could be very great.
But this realm, no one had been able to differentiate it.
Perhaps this Two-star Alchemy God could only refine one more kind of divine pill than another Two-star Alchemy God.
But, the current Ye Yuan had clearly already surpassed knowing how to refine a few types of divine pills, this kind of category. That was why Dustless would ask this.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This … I can't say for sure. But I think that right now, Two-star divine pills shouldn't pose any difficulty to me anymore?"
Dustless' pupils constricted, somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan's words.
He knew that Ye Yuan was not someone who talked through his hat, let alone a man of hubris.
For him to dare say so, he definitely had some reliance.
Refining Two-star divine pills would not have much difficulties. This kind of words, probably only the Medicine Ancestor, this level of existence, dared to say, right?
"A long time ago, the Medicine Ancestor was once like you, triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody when preaching on Dao. Laws descended, him achieving the realm of half-ancestor. Could it be that you and the Medicine Ancestor are already in the same realm?" Dustless said in alarm.
Chapter 1509 - Messenger From the Imperial City
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what the situation of the Medicine Ancestor was back then, my realm is definitely far worse than him. He could attract a portion of laws to descend, but I can't. But my current realm is still very low, many high-level Alchemy Dao laws are not yet comprehended. One day in the future, if I can step foot into the realm of Heavenly Emperor, I presume it wouldn't be worse than the Medicine Ancestor.
Ye Yuan had confidence beyond ordinary people in alchemy.
Although the Medicine Ancestor was an existence that the entire Heavenspan World's alchemists looked up to, he had confidence in being able to catch up head-on too.
These words might be incomparably arrogant if others heard it.
But Dustless had reason to believe that Ye Yuan had this strength and talent!
One had to know, from when Ye Yuan entered the Heavenspan World until now, it was less than a hundred years; time.
Being able to reach his current strength, it was simply inconceivable.
At least, with Dustless's horizons, apart from the Medicine Ancestor, no one could compare to Ye Yuan.
And the matter of Ye Yuan triggering the Great Dao Heavenly Melody set off a huge storm among the Blood Yama Hall's Fiend Apothecaries.
"Master Source Night is really too incredible! The things that he talked about simply subverted my understanding of alchemy!"
"Isn't that so! I feel that my understanding in the past was too superficial. Master Source Night's understanding of the Alchemy Dao is on a completely different level than us."
"That's of course. Otherwise, how would he trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody?"
"I say, will Master Source Night become the second Medicine Ancestor or not?"
"Heh, that's hard to say. Medicine Ancestor, that level of existence, is simply not what you and I can imagine. Master Source Night is just a Two-star Fiend Apothecary after all. There's still a very long road to walk. However, if he keeps maintaining momentum, I feel that it shows great promise!"
"Shhh … mustn't talk about this matter anymore. Upstairs already issued a gag order. If heard, you won't even know how you died!"
...
Inside Capone Fiend Medicine Hall, two Fiend Apothecaries who had heard Ye Yuan's sermon were discussing in whispers.
Except, the Fiend Medicine Hall had already issued a gag order. They also could not resist the astonishment in their hearts, that was why they would discuss softly.
Everyone was all guessing whether or not Master Source Night could reach the Medicine Ancestor's height.
After all, this was the second Fiend Apothecary who could trigger the Great Dao Heavenly Melody after the Dao Ancestor1!
Of course, the Heavenspan World was too big. Perhaps there were still other Fiend Apothecaries who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody. But they had never heard before.
To be able to trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody when while being a Two-star Fiend Apothecary, this was absolutely a sensational event.
...
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
Inside Blackjade Capital City's Fiend Medicine Hall, Mo Han gave one slap after another, slapping Kong Xiao into a pig's head.
When he heard this news, his entire person was about to go completely berserk.
He could already imagine it. Blackjade Capital City's Fiend Medicine Hall's standard would be surpassed by all the capital cities very soon!
"Great Dao Heavenly Melody! That's Great Dao Heavenly Melody! Are you a pig? To actually offend a Fiend Apothecary who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody?"
"The Two-star Fiend Apothecaries who broke through on the spot were 43 people!"
"Half a month later, the people who broke through were 228 people!"
"Now, there are still over a thousand people in closed-seclusion! More than 1000 people!"
"But what about us? Not one! Not a single one!"
"You pig, it's fine that you lose face yourself! But you even want to cause this hall master to lose face together with you!"
Mo Han roared at Kong Xiao, flinging one slap after another.
The others watched this scene, all silent like cicadas in winter.
The moment a Fiend Lord was enraged, corpses would litter a thousand miles!
But they understood Mo Han's anger very much. This matter, if it were them, they would also be as furious as Mo Han.
In reality, they had long already cussed Kong Xiao's ancestors several tens of thousand times in their hearts.
Such a fine opportunity was actually missed just like this!
Great Dao Heavenly Melody, missing this time, there probably would be no next time anymore.
Mo Han was seriously too angry!
According to the news from the Hundred Knows Hall, all who went to Capone Capital City, basically had one or two breakthroughs in every family.
Those who did not break through, their strength made remarkable strides too.
To be able to listen to Great Dao Heavenly Melody, even if it was a pig, it could also unlock spiritual wisdom and step onto the path of cultivation, let alone people?
But only their household alone did not have a single person present!
The initiator of all this was Kong Xiao.
How could Mo Han not be furious?
Finally, Mo Han's anger subsided.
"Purplecloud, from today onwards, you're the Fiend Medicine Hall's hall master! Kong Xiao will be degraded to a medicine slave from today onwards, and locked in the dungeons to refine pills for 3000 years!"
Finished talking, Mo Han gave a cold snort and disappeared.
Purplecloud was a Three-star Fiend Apothecary too, but his strength was much worse than Kong Xiao's.
He also did not expect that happiness came so suddenly.
Demoted to be a medicine slave for 3000 years, Kong Xiao basically did not have a day to hold his head up high anymore.
...
Two months' time had passed in a blink from Ye Yuan's sermon.
During this period, Ye Yuan had been in closed-seclusion cultivating the whole time.
Triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody this time, the others had all rode on his coattails. The benefits that he obtained naturally need not be mentioned.
The melody of Great Dao needed time to slowly digest.
Two months later, Capone Capital City welcomed a very distinguished guest.
"I pay respects to Lord Heavenstar!"
Yi Han gave a deep bow to this old man in f
ront of her, her words filled with respect.
"Huhu, oh, Yi Han, this time, you've made great contributions this time!" Heavenstar said with a beam.
Heavenstar, was Eminent Orchid Imperial City's Blood Yama Hall's Four-star high-rank Fiend Apothecary, a nine-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouse. His status was very venerated,
Yi Han smiled and said, "Yi Han doesn't dare to claim any credit.
Heavenstar smiled and said, "Heh, if there's merit, there's merit. Learning the humans' pretense for what? I really didn't expect that the tiny little Capone Capital City could actually give birth to a Fiend Apothecary who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody! This boy must be controlled by my Blood Yama Hall!"
Yi Han nodded and said, "Lord Heavenstar rest assured. After the ancient ruin, I'll personally escort him to the imperial city."
But Heavenstar shook his head and said, "Hey, such a prodigy, how can you detain him over? Got to make him willingly serve our Blood Yama Hall!"
Yi Han's brows furrowed slightly and said, "This … is probably very difficult! Lord Heavenstar doesn't know this. Yi Han used the blood essence contract before barely managing to tie him onto the Blood Yama Hall, this boat. This boy is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. It's likely very hard for him to submit wholeheartedly."
But Heavenstar did not care and said with a broad smile, "How can a genius who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody not be arrogant at heart and haughty in manner? Only people who are capable have the right to be arrogant! This seat naturally knows that you can't subdue him, that's why I came personally! You bring him over, don't startle anyone. This matter, the hall master has already issued a gag order. Other factions are absolutely not permitted to know."
Although the matter of Ye Yuan triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody was sensational, it was also limited to within the Blood Yama Hall's boundary.
The sermon was conducted at the Blood Battle Stage. It was too easy for the Blood Yama Hall to seal off the news.
The Blood Yama Hall did not need to block all of the news. They just needed to seal off the news about the Great Dao Heavenly Melody, this incident, and that would do.
Ye Yuan's alchemy skill being formidable was already not a secret in Capone Capital City long ago. This sentence is weird. Firstly, I think the author made a mistake and mistyped Medicine Ancestor as Dao Ancestor. Second, this sentence insinuates that the first person who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody was a fiend. I think the author made a mistake.
Chapter 1510 - Blood Soul Curse
"You're Source Night?"
Heavenstar sized Ye Yuan up and could not help being somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan's good looks.
He actually did not look like a fiend.
However, the pure fiend energy on Ye Yuan's body made him unable to find any fault.
"I pay respects to Senior Heavenstar!"
Ye Yuan's attitude was neither obsequious nor haughty. He was not especially respectful toward Heavenstar even though the latter was a Four-star Fiend Apothecary.
He had long considered the consequences of the Great Dao Heavenly Melody. There was no way Eminent Orchid Imperial City's Blood Yama Hall headquarters would watch a genius like him slip by their side.
In reality, Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would trigger the Great Dao Heavenly Melody. Otherwise, he absolutely would not display it in front of people.
If this kind of thing was known by others, it was impressive, but it was very easy to attract a fatal calamity too.
Heavenstar coming to Capone Capital City could only have one purpose, that was to have him join the Blood Yama Hall!
A Fiend Apothecary capable of triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody, his significance to the Blood Yama Hall was absolutely extraordinary.
Ye Yuan had long considered this result and also knew that if he did not agree, there was only one outcome.
That was death!
The Blood Yama Hall absolutely would not allow him to join other forces, then become their enemy.
But Ye Yuan could not be too deliberate either.
Geniuses needed to have the awareness of geniuses.
Arrogance was a natural attribute of geniuses.
Even though Ye Yuan was not haughty, in front of Heavenstar, he must show arrogance.
An alchemy genius capable of triggering Great Dao Heavenly Dao not being haughty at all, this did not conform to common sense. The other party would definitely be suspicious.
Hence, his attitude was lukewarm toward Heavenstar.
Of course, in Ye Yuan's heart, he did not have much veneration towards this so-called Four-star Fiend Apothecary.
He triggered Great Dao Heavenly Melody. Now, he already saw a world that others could not see.
"Hahaha, indeed, the young are to be feared! Everyone says that my fiend race's Fiend Apothecaries' level is too poor and can't groom powerful Fiend Apothecaries at all! Now, those people can all shut up!" Heavenstar said with a loud laugh.
Ye Yuan objected incessantly in his heart. Just the standard of your fiend race's Fiend Apothecaries, it was simply too unsightly to look at. You actually still wanted to groom a powerful Fiend Apothecary?
This Heavenstar was known as a Four-star high-level Fiend Apothecary. But Ye Yuan assumed that his standard was also not very high.
Compared to the human race's Four-star Alchemy Gods, it was probably far off.
"The strength of Fiend Apothecaries still need to depend on the person, nothing to do with the race." Although disdainful in his heart, Ye Yuan still had a proud appearance.
Heavenstar did not mind either, chuckling and saying, "Sit down and talk. Come and sample the Bloodgod Tea that this old man brought. This thing, ordinary people can't drink it!"
As he said, Heavenstar pushed a pot of tea in front of Ye Yuan. Fragrance immediately overflowed.
Ye Yuan swept a glance over the blood-like tea and did not detect anything strange.
But right at this time, Dustless warned, "Ye Yuan, this guy wants to put the Blood Soul Curse on you."
"Blood Soul Curse?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.
After Ye Yuan entered this room, he looked very conceited on the surface. Actually, he was very vigilant inwardly.
Except, he did not detect anything strange.
"The Blood Soul Curse is a very sinister and profound method of the fiend race. It doesn't belong to the category of medicinal pills. Hence, you're unable to detect it too. See those lanterns with varying different shapes in the corners of the house?" Dustless asked.
Ye Yuan glimpsed with his peripherals. Sure enough, he discovered that each corner of the room had a bizarre shaped lamp.
The fiend race's preferences were very different from the human race to begin with. So Ye Yuan did not think too much either.
He did not expect that a profound mystery was actually hidden in these lamps.
Ye Yuan secretly thought what a close call. If not for Dustless being around, he would likely really fall for it this time.
"Saw it. What's wrong with these lamps?" Ye Yuan asked.
Dustless said, "These lamps have a name. They are called Soul Refining Lamps. The wicks of Soul Refining Lamps are refined with countless people's tendons. The refiner imprisons living souls in the wick of the lamps, incinerating with endless fire, tempering these living souls, making these living souls billow with monstrous resent. But on the surface, one can't tell at all. Don't talk about humans, even the fiend race themselves, if they didn't understand this Dao, they can't perceive the actual situation too."
Ye Yuan drew a cold breath. This method was a little too cruel.
Members of the fiend race were indeed all vicious and cold-hearted people!
Back then, the fiend race also used similar methods to collect sanguine power, and also went on a massacre.
"Then what does this Blood Soul Curse have to do with the Bloodgod Tea?" Ye Yuan asked.
"The Bloodgod Tea is indeed a rare spirit tea of the fiend race. It can help them i
ncrease fiend essence, matching the result of medicinal pills. It's just that this Bloodgod Tea is a crucial link of the Blood Soul Curse. It is the prelude to launching the Blood Soul Curse! Bloodgod Tea is grown by watering with those living souls' blood. Once you drink the Bloodgod Tea, those living souls suppressed in the lamp wicks will collectively unleash the power of the curse, making you get hit by the Blood Soul Curse! People who get hit with the curse don't have the slightest feeling. But once someone activates the Blood Soul Curse, you'll suffer the torment of the soul being devoured, experiencing a fate worse than death! It looks like they want to use this method to control you!" Dustless said.
Ye Yuan's heart sunk. He did not expect that this Heavenstar actually set up such a trap for him. His wrath rose with a whoosh.
This Blood Yama Hall was indeed well-deserving of being a mysterious underground force, an existence even more horrifying than the City Lord Manor.
He did not provoke anyone and they actually used this kind of insidious method to deal with him.
"Senior, do you have a way to deal with this Blood Soul Curse? If I don't drink this pot of tea, that old thing probably won't let it go!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan felt a headache too. He did not expect that preaching on the Dao actually caused such a major trouble.
He broke through the Alchemy Dao shackles because of preaching on Dao, but he also attract massive trouble because of preaching on the Dao.
It was really misfortune goes hand-in-hand with fortune!
But Dustless smiled and said, "Did you forget what kind of existence I am? The Soul Suppressing Pearl is the ancestor of Soul Dao. Unless a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse comes personally, otherwise, how can a measly Blood Soul Curse harm you? Moreover, I have a secret art that can absorb the power of the curse and feed it back to the Soul Suppressing Pearl! You just drink the Bloodgod Tea. Leave the rest to me."
Hearing this, Ye Yuan's heart was put back in place.
He smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Heavenstar's mouth revealed a smile of his wicked scheme succeeding.
