Seeing this scene, Deercry's pupils shrunk slightly, incredibly shocked in his heart.
He could not help sizing Ye Yuan up. What ability did this boy have, to actually be able to make Xuan Yu willingly walk behind as a contrast?
This small until it could not be smaller little medicine shop seemed to be remarkable!
After the shock, Deercry recovered his cool very quickly and said in a lighthearted manner, "Turns out that Second Elder is here too. But these few disciples of yours have no regard for their elders, really losing face for our Pill Tower!"
Xuan Yu's temperament was good and always held himself aloof from the world. But Deercry's words still made him rather uncomfortable.
"No regard for their elders? Huhu, Lu Yi is very respectful towards this seat. Where's the talk of showing no regard for his elders? Deacon Deercry is managing things a little too broadly, right?" Xuan Yu said coolly.
Deacon faked a smile and said, "This old man is, at any rate, the Pill Tower's high-level deacon, and is also considered the same generation as Second Elder. Could it be that your disciples can't respect me as a teacher? Saying that I'm taking advantage of my seniority in front of everyone's face like this, if this isn't showing no regard for their elders, what is it?"
Xuan Yu could not help choking, uncertain how he should refute.
In terms of eloquence, he was really not Deercry's match.
Their lineage was at a disadvantage in this aspect.
Seeing that one sentence stumped the other party, Deercry was even more pleased with himself and said with a cold smile, "Second Elder, showing no regard for one's elders, according to the Pill Tower's rules, they have to be punished by 100 floggings of a broad paddle! I wonder how you view it?"
Xuan Yu's gaze turned intent, finally having a trace of anger.
This Deercry was overbearing, really a paradigm of taking advantage of his seniority.
Yet, his words squeezed Xuan Yu until it was enough to choke.
Xuan Yu also knew that these few disciples of his were very dissatisfied with Deercry. But this kind of temper tended to be easy to suffer losses.
A hundred paddles were not considered a severe punishment. But if it really hit, that was hitting Xuan Yu's face!
Lu Yi also had panic on his own face. Earlier, he showed complete disregard for Deercry by relying on the fact that his master was here.
But at times, strength could not determine everything.
The imperial city had its own rules of the game. He seemed … to have incurred trouble for his own master.
Actually, it was not once or twice that his apprentice brothers had suffered such a loss too. But they truly could not stand it.
Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Old thing, you got to have the strength to be people's elders. Do you have it?"
Deercry was currently being pleased with himself. When he heard this, his face could not help turning dark and he said in a cold voice, "Where did this punk kid come from, to dare speak to this seat like this? If this seat doesn't have the strength, could it be that you have it?"
Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, "If I didn't guess wrongly, Huang Qian should have been diagnosed by you, right? You couldn't even identify his ailment, but I cured him. Could it be that … I'm not as strong as you?"
Once these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Oh yeah, Huang Haoran personally said at that time that he had once found a Four-star Alchemy God to take a look before. This Four-star Alchemy God was probably Wu Feng's master, right?"
"A Four-star Alchemy God actually couldn't even identify the illness, truly disgraceful!"
"Tsk tsk, Master Ye's will grant all requests signboard isn't hung in vain. At least in this aspect, he's much stronger than Four-star Alchemy Gods!"
...
Outsiders had yet to react, but Ye Yuan discerned the other party's flaws at a glance.
The words when uttered immediately reversed the situation.
Deercry shot a fierce glare at Wu Feng. Wu Feng's neck shrunk, knowing that his master was angry.
This matter, everyone did not associate them together. Now, Ye Yuan saying it out was simply blatant face-smacking!
When Lu Yi saw this scene, he could not help looking toward Ye Yuan gratefully.
Ye Yuan's one sentence resolved their master and disciples' awkwardness.
However, Deercry clearly would not submit obediently. He said with a cold snort, "Brat, everyone has their shortcomings and merits. Any alchemist also dare not guarantee that they can cure any illness! Moreover, you are you, Lu Yi is Lu Yi. You're not a member of the Pill Tower and isn't bound by this rule. But he is!"
Deercry's thoughts were very meticulous. He was not so easy to deal with.
Otherwise, Xuan Yu would not be at the extent of suffering losses at his hands repeatedly.
Ye Yuan stealthily substituted the concept and dragged him out, but he came to realize the truth very quickly and plucked Ye Yuan out.
This way, Ye Yuan became an outsider, what more could he say?
Deercry also realized that there might be something strange about this Ye Yuan, that was why Xuan Yu's lineage would gather here.
Hence, he avoided the sharp edge and bit onto Lu Yi and not let go.
Lu Yi's standard, Deercry was all too clear.
His potential was not bad, but his pill refining strength, at the present, it still did not reach him, this middle-rank Four-star Alchemy God.
The corners of Ye Yuan's mouth curled slightly and he said disdainfully, "Is that so? Since you think that you're his senior, then you should probably be stronger than Lu Yi?"
Deacon said coolly, "That's of course! If this seat is not even as good as a junior, how can I be a high-level deacon? Kid, you aren't … thinking of making him spar with me, right?"
"Hiss …"
The surroundings drew a cold breath. They were all stunned by Deercry's identity.
The Pill Tower's high-level deacon, this was simply a god-like existence!
To these outer city martial artists, it was simply lofty and out of reach.
They also did not expect that Wu Feng's master's status was actually so ill.u.s.trious.
Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "So what if yes? Not letting you witness the strength of young people, you'll never know how ignorant you are."
When Lu Yi heard this, he could not help somewhat losing confidence and could not refrain from saying to Ye Yuan, "Master Ye, I …"
Ye Yuan stared at him, his eyes like torches as he questioned, "What? You don't even have the courage to have a fight with him?"
Lu Yi's age was far older than Ye Yuan, but in front of Ye Yuan, he was just like a junior.
His gaze turned sharp and he said in a solemn voice, "Of course I do!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Then isn't it settled?! If you can't even deal with this old fogey, how will you inherit Master Xuan Yu's mantle in the future? Today, let this old fellow take a look at your strength!"
The moment Deercry heard, he could not help laughing wildly and said, "What a joke! Brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, courage has to be established on the basis of strength. Courage without strength, that's called a moth flying into the fire! Understand?"
Chapter 1564 - The True Strength of Dao Realm!
Xuan Yu did not make any sound by the side. He wanted to see what means Ye Yuan had.
Although he did not like fighting, Deercry was merely a jumping clown in his eyes.
Ye Yuan's suggestion made him look forward to it very much.
Lu Yi's strength, he was all too clear. It was still a long way off from Deercry's.
Although Deercry's personality was a little scoundrelly, he also had real skill. Otherwise, it would also be impossible to become the Pill Tower's high-level deacon.
Ye Yuan glimpsed at Deercry and said impatiently, "So much rubbish, are you here to squabble? You just say whether yo
u dare or not! If you don't dare, don't put on the airs of a senior, who the hell are you?"
Deercry's face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Compete then, will this old man still be scared of you all, these juniors? But … what if this old man wins?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Didn't you come to stand up for your disciple? If Lu Yi loses, I'll close down the Miracle Hand Parlor and scram out of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City."
Deercry secretly cursed Ye Yuan for being razor-tongued, each sentence making people as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.
His face fell and he said in a cold voice, "That's what you said! If this old man wins, I still want Lu Yi to kowtow to me and admit his mistake in public!"
Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said coolly, "You choose the medicinal pill, I need two hour's time! Of course, the medicinal pill that you choose must be within the scope of Lu Yi's ability!"
Buzz!
Ye Yuan's words made the surroundings explode all at once.
Even Xuan Yu also revealed an incomparably surprised expression.
Letting the other party choose the medicinal pill, this was handing the initiative to the other party's hands.
This kind of competition, whoever picked the medicinal pill would undoubtedly have the advantage. Because the medicinal pill that each person was good at was different.
Deercry's strength was above Lu Yi's in the first place. Now, even letting the other party pick the medicinal pill, wasn't this courting death?
"Is Master Ye crazy? This … Isn't this putting the neck against other people's blade?"
"I admit that Master Ye is very formidable, but this already isn't rampant, this is seeking death!"
"I really don't know how Master Ye thinks, to actually hand the initiative to the other party to exchange for two hour's time. What are two hours … enough for?"
...
Deercry was first stunned, then immediately laughed his head off and said, "Hahaha … brat, you're really someone ignorant who's fearless. Do you really take yourself to be someone notable? Letting this old man choose the medicinal pill, this old man will toy you to death!"
He turned to look at Lu Yi and said smugly, "Lu brat, I heard that you're studying the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill recently? Why don't … we compete in this?"
The moment these words came out, Lu Yi's face became ugly to the extreme, wishing to pounce up and bite Deercry to death with one bite.
At the same time, he also somewhat blamed Ye Yuan in his heart too.
This kid really blindly made a decision.
Now, things were great, there was not even a trace of hope anymore!
"No way! Deercry, you're bullying people here!" Ding Xun said furiously.
Third Senior Brother also said anxiously, "You clearly know that Eldest Senior Brother can't refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill and still deliberately picked this medicinal pill to compete with him. Simply shameless!"
The more anxious these few apprentice brothers got, the more pleased with himself he became. He laughed loudly and said, "Heh, it's this brat who let this old man pick the medicinal pill. Why, now that this old man picked it, you guys aren't willing again? Could the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill not meet the requirements?"
Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill was a consumable-type medicinal pill. It could help martial artists increase their ability to comprehend Great Dao for a short time and was extremely popular.
But the refinement difficulty of this medicinal pill was notoriously great.
Although it was an initial-rank Four-star divine pill, many middle-rank Four-star Alchemy Gods could not refine it.
Lu Yi's talent was pretty good, but the time he spent immersed in Four-star divine pills was not long after all.
Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, Lu Yi had already researched for a long time, but he did not make much progress all along.
Up till now, he could not refine it either.
The difficulty of the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill was also considerable for Deercry.
But the problem was, he could still refine this medicinal pill.
On this point, he completely trashed Lu Yi.
But Ye Yuan brushed it over and said, "No matter, just it then. The spirit medicines, you guys prepare yourselves. I don't have it here. You guys … follow me inside."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and entered the inner hall.
Xuan Yu's group of people exchanged glances, but they still followed Ye Yuan in.
"Master Ye, I … can't refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill! How to compete still?" The moment he entered the door, Lu Yi said anxiously.
"Yeah. Master Ye, you're also too reckless. Even if we really want to compete, how can you take the initiative to give up choosing the medicinal pill?" Ding Xun also said.
"Alright, haven't competed and already lost!" Fourth Senior Brother said unhappily.
Only Ning Siyu's beautiful eyes swiveled around, seemingly thinking of something, and could not help faintly somewhat look forward to it.
"Alright, alright, what are each and every one of you doing? Since Master Ye dared to say so, he must have nothing to fear with something to back him up. You guys stop worrying about it. See what he says!" Ning Siyu said.
Ye Yuan smiled at Xuan Yu and said, "Didn't you want me to help you teach disciples? You guys will get off cheap together. That old punk, I'm very pissed off looking at him too!"
Xuan Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "Two hours' time, could it be that Master Ye is going to refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill?"
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Even if I reach Dao Realm, it's also impossible to refine a Four-star divine pill right now."
Everyone was disappointed. Xuan Yu said, "Then …"
Ye Yuan said, "The Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, I'm unable to refine. But the Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill is nothing difficult."
Lu Yi's brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill … I can refine too! Even if it doesn't reach Master Ye's level, it wouldn't be too poor either. But rank four divine pills are two completely different things from rank three divine pills!"
Ye Yuan looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is that so? Do you understand Alchemy Dao like this? Great Dao connects to the heavens, interlinked and connected. Rank four divine pills are much more profound than rank three divine pills, this is true. But the same type of medicinal pill is passed down the same lineage. The Dao contained within them have highly similar aspects. If you think that rank four divine pills are higher level than rank three divine pills and isolate them separately, then you've made a grave error!"
Lu Yi was stunned when he heard, but he knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.
But the internal connection between medicinal pills was not so easy to link together.
Actually, when studying this Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, Xuan Yu said this to him before as well. But he could not do it.
Everyone had a pondering look. Ye Yuan came before the medicinal cauldron, retrieving a Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill from inside his storage ring, he opened his mouth and said, "There's only one chance, look closely!"
Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan's body suddenly changed, becoming sacred all at once.
Inside the entire medicine refining room teemed with the aura of Dao.
But this time, it was goodness knows how many times stronger than when they were refining pills previously!
Ye Yuan's entire person seemed to have transformed into a region of chaos, giving people an unreal feeling.
At this moment, Ye Yuan seemingly incarnated to become the master of creation, becoming incomparably surreal.
Xuan Yu's gaze turned intent and he cried out in shock, "This … This … Turns out that this is the true strength of the Dao Realm!"
Chapter 1565 - Never Forget Till Death
Although Deercry believed that victory was at hand, he would not give Ye Yuan more time.
He started clamoring outside before two hours were up.
He was a sixth level Divine Lord powerhouse. Mustering up divine essence to shout, it could naturally transmit into the inner hall.
Creak …
The door of the inner hall slowly opened. A group of people appeared in everyone's line of sight once more.
Deercry's gaze landed on Lu Yi and could not help being startled in his heart.
No idea why, he felt that some kind of change took place on Lu Yi.
Seeing ghosts! Merely two hours' time from start to finish, could it be that that kid can really defy the heavens? No, wait, this must be an illusion! Deercry secretly said in his heart.
Actually, not just him, everyone had this peculiar feeling.
However, they denied their thoughts very quickly.
Because two hours' time was totally impossible to change the outcome of this competition.
Alchemy Dao required the immersion of time. The disparity between Deercry and Lu Yi simply could not be made up for with just two hours.
If two hours could change the results, then wouldn't the other alchemists' year after year of bitter cultivation become a joke?
"Heh, it's still not too late to admit defeat now. If you concede right now, kowtow whatever can be brushed off. You all just have to stop meddling in other people's affairs and hand over that brat will do." Deercry said with a fake smile, but his gaze darted at Ye Yuan.
Lu Yi pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "If I can't win you, this old fellow today, wouldn't you act like a tyrant in front of me every single day in the future? I'm going to let everyone know today that you, this old thing, have no right to posture in front of me!"
"Yoo, going in for two hours, your mouth became hard when you came out! But talking big got to have the capital too. With just the likes of you, you're still far from it!" Deercry laughed loudly and said.
Lu Yi snorted coldly and said, "Enough bullshit, we'll only know after competing!"
