But toward this, he already could not hear it long ago.
His entire mind was currently placed on controlling the demonic divine essence.
Imitating and deducing was one thing, truly handling it was another thing.
The moment he started, he was still a little too unfamiliar.
However, Ye Yuan's soul attracting art had long already reached its peak.
Ever since awakening the dragon soul, his twin divine souls were several times stronger than ordinary martial artists. His soul force was already incomparably boundless.
Hence, ever since after ascending to Divine Dao, he no longer worried about soul force anymore.
And this was also his guarantee for being able to refine high-level medicinal pills.
Demonic attraction art, even though it was Ye Yuan's first time coming into contact with it, with the soul attracting art as the strategically advantageous position, he was absolutely not slow in getting started.
Sure enough, under Ye Yuan's efforts, he finally drew out the wood chip in the second box and fused them together.
The first fusion, the difficulty was the lowest.
But as the number increased, the difficulty of merging would soar exponentially.
"Heh, the first one is so strenuous, I think he can at most fuse three." Mu Yuanchun said with a cold laugh.
"Clearly a novice, yet still want to posture. Got struck by lightning now, right?"
"Just this bit of strength, actually still want to smack our faces. I really don't know where his confidence came from."
The moment Mu Yuanchun said this, everyone immediately concurred.
Completing the first fusion, Ye Yuan finally found some feel.
His control of demonic divine essence also finally became a little smoother.
Hence, he started fusing the third type of wood chip.
This time, it seemed to be a little easier than last time.
Following that, fourth type, fifth type, sixth type …
Everyone's faces started to change.
What was this?
Logically speaking, the greater the number of fused wood ch.i.p.s, the greater the difficulty!
To a novice, this kind of difficulty was magnified infinitely.
But why did Ye Yuan give a feeling of understanding better and becoming more mellow?
This was too illogical!
In a twinkle, Ye Yuan fused more than a dozen types of wood ch.i.p.s. Furthermore, his speed seemed to be getting faster and faster.
Above, the three elders' eyes gradually became brilliant.
The three of them exchanged glances, wishing to lift their heads to the sky and burst into laughter.
Such a terrifying genius was simply hard to encounter in a lifetime.
This kind of comprehension ability was simply terrifying to the extreme.
Mu Yuanchun's expression became extremely ugly and he muttered, "Impossible! Impossible! He's clearly a novice who doesn't know the demonic attraction art at all, so how can he possibly fuse so many wood ch.i.p.s? Could it be that he did it on purpose just now? Actually, he knows the demonic attraction art? This brat is full of schemes!"
Chapter 1747 - Acted Too Realistically
"52! Surpassed! Surpassed!"
"53!"
...
At the back, each time Ye Yuan fused a type of wood, everyone counted along in unison.
Very soon, Ye Yuan surpassed Mu Yuanchun's 51 types.
But it was not over!
"98!"
"99!"
"100!"
"Really amazing! This guy was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, right?"
"My face was slapped so freaking swollen!"
"This guy definitely did it on purpose just now!"
"You look at him, still looking dissatisfied about it. This … This is too infuriating!"
...
Back then, when Ye Yuan fused the last type of wood, the field immediately burst into an uproar.
No one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually fused all of the 100 types of wood!
Extremely few people were able to complete this in the priest examination.
Those able to complete it were at least geniuses that appeared once every 100 thousand years!
If say Ye Yuan did not do it on purpose before, they would not believe even if beaten to death.
Ye Yuan was indeed not satisfied yet. He got the hang of it more and more toward the back and already could not stop.
100 types of wood were not his limit yet.
Kong Lin looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, "Is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger very interesting?"
Mu Yuanchun also spoke up, "Strength is clearly uncommon, yet want to feign an appearance of not knowing anything, toying with everyone's feelings! Malicious motives!"
The moment these two people spoke up, the others also concurred with it, clearly very unhappy with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan said with a helpless look, "Regardless whether you all believe or not, it's really my first time using the demonic attraction art!"
Kong Lin sneered and said, "First time? Do you still take us to be fools? Fusing 100 types of wood, in the history of our Tyrant Origin Imperial City's Priest Temple, there's merely only two able to accomplish it. You're telling me that it's your first time using the demonic attraction art?"
Mu Yuanchun gave a cold snort and said to the three elders, "Three elders, this person's strength is clearly uncommon, yet pretend that he doesn't know anything! In my view, he's intentionally here to humiliate the temple!"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled and said with a smile, "Hey, you're retarded, right? I, a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord, specially came to Tyrant Origin Imperial City from afar to deliver myself to death? If you're retarded, don't simply think that others are as retarded as you, alright?"
Mu Yuanchun's face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Who knows what plan you have in mind. Either way, you don't have good intentions!"
At this time, Stonefeather said coolly, "Alright, since you've already taken part in the priest examination, then follow the rules. Ye Yuan already passed the second round, so carry out the third round."
The third round was genuinely refining demon divine pills.
Stonefeather speaking up, even though Kong Lin and the rest were unhappy, they did not dare have the slightest bit of defiance.
Kong Lin's expression was very ugly as he said, "The third round, pill refinement. The demon divine pill tested this time is the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill, middle-grade as pass!"
Finished announcing, the remaining examinees were all preparing to refine the pill. Ye Yuan suddenly cupped his fists at Stonefeather and said, "Elder, this … can I take a look at the pill formula?"
The demon race's pill formulas, Ye Yuan had heard before some names, but really did not have pill formulas.
Demon divine pills were an independent pill refining system. Immortal Grove could not refine at all, he naturally would not go and deliberately go collect pill formulas too.
The moment Kong Lin heard, he smiled coldly and said, "What the Priest Temple tests are all pill formulas made open to the public. You could use the demonic attraction art to such an extent. So how could you not even know the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill's pill formula?"
The words that Ye Yuan said right now, they did not believe it at all.
Clearly ridiculously impressive, and yet want to pretend to not know anything, was it very fun?
Feigning ignorance previously, forget it. But now, everyone already knew and you were still pretending!
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "But I really don't know!"
"Let him take a look. However, the assessment time is only six hours. You have to grasp it well." Stonefeather said coolly.
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was overjoyed and said with clasped hands, "Many thanks, Elder."
Pretending!
Look at you pretending!
What's with Elder tod
ay?
This punk is clearly feigning ignorance, yet, Elder still want to play along with him!
Helplessly, Kong Lin could only hand the pill formula over to Ye Yuan.
The Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill was an initial-stage rank four demon divine pill. To talk about the difficulty, it was roughly level two.
One should not judge at how level two difficulty was not high. Using it as an entry-level examination, the difficulty was pretty high.
In the human race, as long as one stepped into Divine Lord Realm and could refine the simplest rank four divine pill, they would be considered Four-star Alchemy Gods.
But in the Priest Temple, this threshold clearly would not cut it.
To a novice, wanting to refine a level two difficulty rank four demon divine pill as soon as they came up, it was virtually a task that was impossible to complete.
Forget about a novice, even for these demons participating in the assessment, it was absolutely not an easy thing too.
Moreover, the lowest requirement to pass the test was even middle-grade!
Just this requirement barred the vast majority of people outside the front door of the Priest Temple.
Ye Yuan took the pill formula, akin to obtaining a priceless treasure, and started studying it.
He deduced the pill formula as he observed the others refining pills, an appearance as if absorbed in thought.
Level two difficulty rank four demon divine pill, the difficulty was not too high to him. Deducing it was also not considered too troublesome.
But the demon divine pill was indeed a brand new domain to Ye Yuan.
When Kong Lin saw Ye Yuan's intoxicated appearance, he had a strange expression on his face.
He seriously could not resist anymore and grumbled to Stonefeather, "Master, this kid can act too well. Why do you keep on helping him?"
Stonefeather gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Act? Hur hur, then his acting is too realistic!"
Kong Lin's expression changed and he said, "Master's meaning is that it's really his first time coming into contact with demon divine pills? How is this possible? First time using the demonic attraction art and he fused 100 types of wood, is there really someone capable of accomplishing this kind of thing?"
Stonefeather smiled and said, "Before today, this old man didn't believe either. But now, this old man saw it with my own eyes. I have no choice but to believe it! This child's Alchemy Dao talent is truly terrifying!"
Kong Lin's pupils constricted slightly, his eyes revealing immense shock.
He was seriously unable to imagine what kind of talent could fuse 100 types of wood the first time using the demonic attraction art.
This was simply inconceivable.
In a twinkle, more than four hours passed.
Mu Yuanchun's medicinal pills were finally refined successfully!
Suddenly, he felt a scorching gaze. Lifting his head and looking over, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently staring straight at him.
Looking again, Ye Yuan actually had not started refining the pill yet!
Mu Yuanchun was first stunned, then immediately smiled coldly and said, "You watched me refine the pill until now?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said with a nod, "Your strength is decent, but the process of refining pills missed out too much. Basic skills are also not too solid. What a pity."
He watched all the way until now. This review was also from the bottom of his heart and did not have the intention of mocking.
The moment Mu Yuanchun heard, his expression could not help turning sullen and he said with a cold smile, "If you have the time to review me, better to hurry up and start refining the pill! Heh, less than two hours is remaining, I want to see how you pass the test!"
Ye Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "One hour is enough. No rush, no rush."
Chapter 1748 - Fl.u.s.tered Refinement
"One hour to refine a rank four demon divine pill. You're also not afraid of blowing a hole in the sky with your bragging!" Mu Yuanchun said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Whether or not it's boasting, you'll know in a while. Uh, but I still have to thank you, your pill refinement earlier gave me quite a bit of reference."
Mu Yuanchun's strength stood out among this group of people.
His pill refinement was naturally worth learning.
Ye Yuan deduced the pill formula and compared his pill refinement with the other people's pill refinement, and indeed benefited a great deal.
When Mu Yuanchun heard, his face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Don't give me that! You aren't going to say again that it's your first time refining a demon divine pill, right?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Really smart, what I wanted to say was all said by you."
Mu Yuanchun said with a cold smile, "Do you think that I'd believe it?"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Believing or not is up to you, what has it got to do with me? I'm going to start refining the pill."
The moment he started refining, Ye Yuan's entire person immediately entered a fully engrossed state.
The preparation work at the beginning, Ye Yuan completed it naturally and smoothly, with the air of a master.
Even the eyes of those three people above revealed looks of astonishment.
When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.
Ye Yuan's handling, even they, these Five-star priests, also prostrated in admiration.
When Mu Yuanchun saw this scene, his expression was incomparably ugly.
He had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan's talent was too strong!
Whatever acc.u.mulation of time, this sort of words, was simply like farting when placed on Ye Yuan.
"Still say whatever first time! One look and it's a veteran who's well-seasoned. Really take us to be three-year-old kids?" Mu Yuanchun said with a cold snort.
"It's indeed his first time refining demon divine pills!"
Kong Lin arrived by Mu Yuanchun's side at goodness knows when, looking at Ye Yuan with a serious look as he said those words.
Mu Yuanchun's expression changed and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Kong, this … How is this possible?"
Kong Lin said, "It's what Master said, so definitely won't be wrong! He must be an extremely formidable alchemist in the human race, but he also has a demon race bloodline. So he got started extremely quickly. It's just that his talent … is really too terrifying!"
Mu Yuanchun's gaze revealed a look of astonishment, looking at Ye Yuan with immense shock.
At this time, Ye Yuan already started refining the pill. It was just that his current performance was akin to two different people from just now.
Only after getting started did Ye Yuan truly feel the difference between the two systems. It was really not that easy to cross.
Even though his demonic attraction art improved extremely fast, truly applying it to pill refinement was another matter altogether.
It was inevitable that he was unfamiliar.
Refining divine pills, the consumption of soul force was tremendous.
But refining demon divine pills had extremely high requirements on physical strength.
If not for Ye Yuan having long reached middle-stage fourth transformation, he would really have bitten off more than he could chew.
Ye Yuan discovered that using the demonic attraction art to fuse medicinal pills, the technique was a hundred times more complicated than the soul attracting art.
Each segment needed to expend tremendous physical strength.
Compared to really refining pills, fusing wood ch.i.p.s earlier was simply a child's play.
However, while Ye Yuan's hands and feet were thrown into confusion, it was completely not the case in other people's eyes.
Regardless of whether it was Kong Lin or Mu Yuanchun, they were totally dumbstruck with amazement.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, I'm still unable to believe that it's actually
this guy's first time refining a demon divine pill!" Mu Yuanchun gritted his teeth and said.
Kong Lin smiled bitterly and said, "How can I believe it too? But you look at his refining method, it's clearly incomparably unfamiliar. But even so, it still gives you a feeling of pleasing both the eyes and the heart. This kind of feeling is seriously too contradictory."
Mu Yuanchun felt that his confidence suffered a tremendous blow. If a person's first time coming into contact with demon divine pills could do it to this extent, then wouldn't his many years of hard work become a joke?
Of course, he would not think that for Ye Yuan to be able to have his present accomplishments, apart from talent, what he put in was a hundred times, even a thousand times of his!
Mu Yuanchun said in a solemn voice, "Senior Apprentice Brother Kong, then in your view, what grade of Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill can he refine?"
Kong Lin shook his head and said, "That's hard to say! His technique is indeed very unfamiliar, one look and it's a novice's skill. However, he also rarely makes mistakes. I reckon it makes sense that there shouldn't be a problem."
Mu Yuanchun heaved a sigh in relief and muttered under his breath, "Just middle-grade huh … then that's still alright."
The moment one hour was up, Ye Yuan indeed finished packing up, leaving everyone watching dumbfounded with their mouths agape.
Ye Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and let out a sigh of relief as he said, "Haven't been so fl.u.s.tered in so long!"
Fl.u.s.tered …
When the surrounding demons heard Ye Yuan's words, they wished to kick his face.
That is called fl.u.s.tered?
You take a look at the others first, alright?
After the second round, there were merely less than 20 people remaining.
And these people were currently all covered in sweat, at a loss on what to do, fearful of making the slightest mistake.
This is called being fl.u.s.tered, okay?!
These people, each and every one of them had refined pills for close to six hours.
You freaking finished in an hour and was still complaining about being tired here. Was there such a need?
After Ye Yuan finished refining, six hours were up very quickly.
