Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "This is called transported? This is called kicking out, alright?"
The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Do you feel that contribution points came too easily, so you don't know how to cherish it? These few days, reading without understanding like you, how many things can you learn?"
Ye Yuan was stunned and said, "Senior has been paying attention to me these few days?"
The white-haired old man ignored Ye Yuan and said with an angry look from failing to live up to expectations, "Kid, your talent is extremely high, but with such an attitude, it's hard to have great achievements!"
He had naturally been paying attention to Ye Yuan all along. But he saw that Ye Yuan read no less than 500 classics in over ten days.
And these 500 classics, each one was sufficient for a priest to study for as long as several decades.
Wasn't this joking around?
Chapter 1753 - Wealth Scattering Boy
"Uh, why does Senior say this? I read very seriously and very carefully!" Ye Yuan said very sincerely.
He had indeed read very seriously and did not have any slipshod aspects.
The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Seriously? Carefully? You read 532 classics in less than 14 days, averaging 30 to 40 books a day. You're telling me seriously and saying carefully?"
Ye Yuan was taken aback for a moment, only then understanding what the white-haired old man meant. He could not help saying with a bitter smile, "Senior, I really read very seriously and absolutely didn't gloss over!"
The white-haired old man discovered that Ye Yuan's talent was astonishing and naturally had very high expectations of him.
But Ye Yuan's attitude of reading the classics made him very unhappy.
Now that he came to remind him, he actually still refused to admit it. This made him even more upset.
The white-haired old man gave a cold snort and said, "You said you read very serious, fine. Then I ask you, what's the most important take-away point for Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art?"
Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art was precisely a demon race fire controlling art that Ye Yuan read.
The white-haired old man also saw through that Ye Yuan's fire controlling technique was developed with the human race's fire controlling techniques as foundation, and he did not seem too proficient in the demon race's.
While the Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art was also a more obscure foundation fire controlling art of the demon race.
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled and said, "Is Senior testing me?"
The white-haired old man did not deny it and said coolly, "If you can't answer, stare at one book and read properly when you enter in the future!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art, the most important thing is engraving the fire in one's heart, heart follows the mind, heart and fire becoming one, controlling fire and connecting divinity!"
The moment the white-haired old man heard, he could not help being slightly surprised.
This was a very obscure knowledge. He did not expect that Ye Yuan answered it in one fell swoop.
He did not give up and asked again, "Fire control is your forte, answering doesn't mean anything. Come again, how many key nodal points does the Howling Rain Sky Direction Art have?"
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and opened his mouth again, describing the few nodes clearly.
The white-haired old man clearly did not believe it, asking question after question, the speed getting faster and faster.
Ye Yuan knew that this old man was doing it for his own good and did not find it bothersome, answering fluently, without any omissions.
The more the white-haired old man asked, the more shocked he was in his heart.
Could it be that this kid used over ten days and learned all of the things others learn in several hundred, even thousand years?
Was this a freaking freak?
What was more damnable was that not only did Ye Yuan answer fluently, he frequently added in his own opinion, which was extremely insightful!
Many comprehensions actually made the white-haired old man have a feeling of suddenly being enlightened.
Those classics that Ye Yuan read, the white-haired old man had long read before no idea how many times. Saying that he could read it backward was not over the top in the slightest.
But he discovered now that he read several tens of thousands of years of classics, and his understanding was actually not as deep as this young man in front of him!
This … was too f*cking hell!
The white-haired old man suddenly discovered that there was a myriad of profanities that galloped across in his heart.
This was not testing the other party, it was purely seeking a beat down!
However, he was still so wretched, asking Ye Yuan questions non-stop. Because Ye Yuan's understanding was indeed greatly beneficial to him.
Finally, the white-haired old man stopped asking. He looked at Ye Yuan with a face like he saw a ghost and said, "Kid, you aren't messing with this old man, right? These classics, you wouldn't have read them before, right?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior must be joking. You've already asked a hundred questions. Even if I read before the classics, it also wouldn't so coincidentally match each one, right?"
The white-haired old man thought so too. 500 over kinds of books, there were always some wrong areas.
If he did not read it just now, there would always be some questions and could not be answered.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan also would not be bored to the extent of coming to make fun of him, this gate-keeping old man.
But the more it was like this, the more shocked the white-haired old man was in his heart.
What kind of talent was needed to have such terrifying memorizing ability and comprehension ability?
He waved his hand and said, "You can go!"
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Senior!"
After Ye Yuan left, the white-haired old man's figure also flashed, disappearing.
...
"Lord Chi Feng, you have to take revenge for us! You look at the three of us, really … really no face to meet people anymore!"
Hu Feng's appearance was indescribably miserable.
Ye Yuan directly sent their divine fires back at that time, giving them a dose of their own medicine, the power was extraordinary.
More than ten days had passed, even though they got much better, there were still burn marks inside and out, looking like poodles.
Most of these priest trainees had priest patrons.
Speaking of which was coincidental too, Hu Feng's backer was precisely Chi Feng.
At this time, the hair on top of Chi Feng's heart already grew back anew, recovering to that domineering appearance.
Chi Feng snorted coldly and said, "The three of you really lost all of my face! Slept three days and nights in the latrine and actually don't even dare to come back! You guys are really capable!"
Hu Feng said with a bitter expression, "Your Excellency, you aren't aware. That punk's fire controlling technique is really incredible! The three of us added together aren't his match either!"
Chi Feng's expression changed, having a bad premonition, and asked in a solemn voice, "What's that punk's name?"
Hu Feng three people exchanged glances, clearly forgetting Ye Yuan's name.
Right at this time, a youth in white walked into the dormitory.
"It's you!"
Hu Feng and Chi Feng few people turned their heads to look, crying out strangely in unison.
When Ye Yuan saw these few people, he instantly understood something and said with a smile, "Welcoming a low-level apprentice like this, the line-up is a little too big, right?"
But Hu Feng said in surprise, "Your Excellency, you know this punk?"
Chi Feng asked back, "It was this brat who burned you all until like this?"
Hu Feng nodded and said, "Yeah, it
's this kid! I beg Your Excellency to help us take revenge!"
Chi Feng had a strange look, thinking to himself, avenge your ass!
Your father isn't even his match, yet you guys still asked me to help you take revenge!
But in front of subordinates, he naturally would not yield.
In reality, after the fire battle the last time, he already thought about taking revenge.
This kid's attainment in fire control was extraordinary. But in alchemy, he was definitely inferior to him,
Otherwise, he would not be a low-level apprentice but a true priest already.
Chi Feng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Kid, dare to bet with me again or not?"
Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Still dare to bet with me? Aren't you scared of losing until you don't even have pants to wear? Should I be calling you a wealth scattering boy or not?"
Hu Feng three people exchanged glances, not knowing what happened, but still said in a great rage, "Stinky brat, you, a low-level apprentice, dare to humiliate Lord Chi Feng? He's a lord priest of the temple, are you tired of living?"
Chi Feng said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense! Brat, you chose the gambling method the last time. This time, I'll pick! Do you have the balls or not?"
Ye Yuan looked at Chi Feng and said with a smile that was not a smile, "You don't need to aggravate me. Since you want to be a wealth scattering boy, if I were to refuse, wouldn't that be seen as holding others back from achieving success? Say it, what's the wager?"
Chi Feng said in a solemn voice, "Let's compete in pill refinement!"
Chapter 1754 - Unable to Compare With the Past
The priest hall was a place designated for priests to conduct pill refinement. Occasionally, there would also be elders refining pills and preaching on Dao here.
At this time, inside the priest hall was already packed with people, all here to watch the battle.
Priest competing in alchemy with a low-level apprentice, this was major news, and it spread throughout the temple very quickly.
They all wanted to see what kind of low-level apprentice was so arrogant and cool, to actually dare challenge a priest.
Furthermore, this priest was even a very powerful existence among priests.
"It's that kid? Looks very ordinary!"
"Ordinary? Heh heh, this kid isn't a goody-two-shoes! He competed in fire control with Chi Feng at Tianlu Pavilion. The result was that he completely won twice!"
"That's nothing as well. Controlling fire and refining pills are two different matters after all. Chi Feng is clearly here to avenge his enmity. He's peak late-stage rank four, but that punk has merely just entered middle-stage rank four. With Chi Feng's strength, he won't give Ye Yuan a chance."
...
Some martial artists were extremely adept at controlling fire and used this as a means to confront the enemy. Saying that it was transcendent was also not an exaggeration.
But controlling fire and refining pills were two different things after all.
In the demon race alchemy skill, which was based on demonic divine essence, one's realm was more important than in the human race.
If Chi Feng was someone useless, then forget it. Yet, he was not.
Even though his alchemy skills were not the strongest among priests, it was also sufficient to rank in the top ten. His strength was undeniably extraordinary.
Priests who were able to rank in the top ten, their strengths were all very strong.
In the future, they were existences who might even become elders!
Hence, that was why Chi Feng would be so condescending and arrogant.
In the inner-hall, three figures were currently observing the situation in the priest hall through the light screen ahead.
"Ni Kun, in your view, who will win this alchemy battle?" Stonefeather said.
Ni Kun said in a solemn voice, "Does this still need to be asked? Of course, it's Chi Feng! That kid's talent is exceedingly great, his strength is also extremely powerful. But during the apprentice test on that day, it should already be his limits, right? After all, the refinement of demon divine pills and divine pills are two totally different systems."
Ku Mu also nodded and said, "Ye Yuan's talent is indeed terrifying. Give him a year or so and his strength will definitely surpass all priests. But a dozen over days, it can't change anything at all."
But Stonefeather said, "I heard that this kid entered Tianlu Pavilion for more than ten days. He likely already has some familiarity with demon divine pills."
Ni Kun smiled coldly and said, "So what? If looking at books can let one's strength make rapid progress, then demon divine pills are also too worthless. Moreover, over a dozen days, it's enough for him to read how many books?"
Stonefeather thought about it and also nodded and said, "What you said is right. Maybe I was overthinking it."
Actually, his view was the same as Ni Kun and Ku Mu, feeling that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win.
But no idea why, he kept having a feeling that Ye Yuan probably would not lose that easily.
Although he also felt that this idea was very absurd.
...
Chi Feng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Fool, you think that your fire controlling technique is impressive and you're invincible under the heavens? Today, I'm going to let you take a look at the disparity between priest and priest trainees!"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I say, why do you have so much crap? If talking nonsense can represent strength, your strength is indeed very formidable, I'm so scared of losing!"
Chi Feng's face fell and he said angrily, "Razor-tongued brat, I want to see when you can be c.o.c.ky until!"
Ye Yuan said with a nonchalant face, "Alright, let's start. Don't say that I bully you, let you run for two hours first!"
Chi Feng was taken aback when he heard that and laughed loudly as he said, "Let me run for two hours first? Kid, you really can boast! Alright, I want to see how you chase!"
At this time, quite a few people gave sidelong glances, feeling that Ye Yuan was too arrogant.
How was this an appearance like a priest trainee? It was simply like an elder.
However, someone suddenly spoke up in the crowd, "Lord Chi Feng, you mustn't fall for this brat's trick! He doesn't know how to refine demon divine pills at all, he wants to secretly learn!"
One sentence drew quite a few people's attention.
Ye Yuan also looked over rather surprisedly, it was an old acquaintance. It was Mu Yuanchun!
Clearly, this alchemy battle also caught his attention.
When Chi Feng saw that it was a low-level apprentice too, he could not help being somewhat surprised and said in a solemn voice, "Secret learn? What nonsense are you talking about? If he can even secretly learn when I refine pills, you're also thinking too highly of him, right?"
Mu Yuanchun said with a heavy look, "Lord Chi Feng, I took part in the priest apprentice examination at the same time with him. This kid's pill refining speed was extremely fast, but he kept on secretly learning by the side. In the end, he refined a superior-grade demon divine pill! He definitely has ill-intentions letting you refine first!"
When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!
Secretly learning by the side, in the end, refined a superior-grade demon divine pill. Why did this sound so strange?
But if what Mu Yuanchun said was true, Ye Yuan's alchemic talent was also too terrifying, right?
But Chi Feng's expression changed and he secretly thought to himself what a close shave.
He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, "Brat, turns out that you were waiting for me? Let's refine together!"
Mu Yuanchun also had a smug look when he saw that Chi Feng came to realize the truth.
Ye Yuan eating a loss, he was very happy to see it happen.
This alchemy battle's medicinal pill was picked by Chi Feng, a level four difficulty demon di
vine pill.
He did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine such a high difficulty medicinal pill within such a short time.
But Ye Yuan had an indifferent look and said coolly, "Up to you, begin then."
Ye Yuan being so magnanimous made Mu Yuanchun stunned.
Could it be that this punk really had a well-thought-out plan?
But it had only been over a dozen days. How was it possible?
Refining starting, Chi Feng's pill refinement flowed naturally and smoothly, already faintly having the style of a master.
Priest top ten was indeed not for show.
In contrast, Ye Yuan's technique was still a little unfamiliar.
What they guessed was right. After all, only a dozen over days had passed, Ye Yuan did not have the chance to refine demon divine pills at all.
This was his second time refining demon divine pills.
The medicinal pill that Chi Feng picked was called Baqi Leiyin Pill.
This pill formula was naturally not very profound. Ye Yuan already saw it before in the Tianlu Pavilion.
But level four difficulty medicinal pill, the difficulty was far greater compared to the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill.
With Ye Yuan's current situation, it was indeed a little strenuous.
Of course, that was also just relative to divine pills.
Ye Yuan did not lack pill refining experience. His alchemy skills had gone through endless tempering.
Even though demon divine pills were another system, this did not hinder him from getting started rapidly.
With these dozen over days of theoretical foundation in the Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan was no longer an ignorant person long ago.
Everyone including Stonefeather misjudged him!
These dozen over days could be said to be a monumental change to Ye Yuan.
Apart from him still being very unfamiliar with many techniques, his progress in the rest was massive.
Less than two hours, Ye Yuan's medicinal pill was refined completely.
Witnessing Ye Yuan's pill refining speed, everyone also marveled in wonder, thinking to themselves that what Mu Yuanchun said was indeed not false.
This guy's pill refining speed was too fast.
It was just that, could the quality be assured?
