If it was just causing trouble, these elders giving sermons would just fling a slap over.
But the problem was, each time Ye Yuan raised his doubts, it was all very reasonable!
Each time would stump the elders until they were left tongue-tied.
In the beginning, there were still some elders who were unconvinced and started intense arguments with Ye Yuan.
But in the end, they were all disputed until rendered speechless by Ye Yuan.
With a few incidents, when these elders were giving sermons, they were afraid that Ye Yuan would be present.
As long as they saw Ye Yuan, they would be like mice seeing a cat, hearts drumming away.
Ye Yuan completely ignored Elder Li and asked without caring, "Zi Shou Long Qin Pill has a neutral temperament. When refining it, one should control the temperature, basing the Five Elements Rules inside the spirit medicines as the foundation … Elder Li, don't you think this should be the case?"
Ye Yuan's talking speed was very fast, pointing out the problems in the sermon that Elder Li talked about just now.
When the other priests heard Ye Yuan's words, they all revealed thoughtful expressions.
These priests all had their experiences too. At the start, they were all harboring the mentality of watching the show, watching Ye Yuan argue with the elders.
But later on, they discovered that what Ye Yuan said was indeed very reasonable.
After going back and experimenting, the quality of the medicinal pills really improved significantly.
Hence, later on, as long as Ye Yuan opened his mouth, they would give their full attention to the lecture, and benefited a great deal instead.
Elder Li said furiously, "Ye Yuan! Are you the elder, or am I the elder?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you're the elder!"
Elder Li snorted coldly and said, "You still know that I'm the elder? I'm preaching and you're causing trouble. Where's the sense of propriety?"
But Ye Yuan said, "Elder Li, can't say it like that. The more truth is debated, the clearer it gets. Since there's a problem, I naturally have to point it out. Could it be that you wish to let everyone go refine pills according to the wrong method?"
Elder Li was angered until his face was livid and he said angrily, "Why don't you come and preach to them then?"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't have that ability! I came to learn and casually raised his own questions. Haha, Elder Li, you continue!"
Elder Li finally could not hold back and flicked his sleeves grandly and said, "Not preaching anymore!"
Finished talking, he left in a huff.
Putting on the priest robes, Ye Yuan started his days of learning demon divine pills in the Priest Temple's halls.
Even though he was very worried about White Light in his heart, he also knew that he could only wait right now.
And Ye Yuan's capital to gain a foothold in the Priest Temple was Alchemy Dao. Hence, he urgently needed to increase his strength currently.
First time entering the Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan learned a lot of knowledge about demon divine pills.
But the refinement of demon divine pills, Ye Yuan still lacked a great deal.
Hence, he was absorbing knowledge frenziedly every day right now.
Ye Yuan was naturally not deliberately making trouble. But these elders preaching on Dao, the areas that they missed out were too many.
Ye Yuan posing his own queries was also within reason.
It was just that some of his questions were too tricky. Even those elders could not answer them too, so it was easy to anger the other party.
"Ye Yuan, you're quite capable! Now that you angered Elder Li away, are you happy?"
At this time, one of the priests stood up to question Ye Yuan. Who was it if not Chi Feng?
Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Then you say, was I right or not?"
Chi Feng could not help choking when he heard that. Ye Yuan said it very reasonably, he could not refute at all.
If it could be refuted, Elder Li also could not leave in a rage.
Even Elder Li could not do it, he, Chi Feng, naturally could not even more!
"Humph! Even if what you said was reasonable, you also have to pay attention to the ways and means! You screwing like this, everyone doesn't get to learn anymore!" Chi Feng said with a cold smile.
Sure enough, with him instigating, the other people's unhappy emotions all came out.
Although Ye Yuan's words were reasonable, now that even the elder was angered away, who would still come and preach to them in the future?
This way, wouldn't Ye Yuan become a plague god?
"Ye Yuan, you're a genius, we're all mediocre, alright?"
"You're capable, don't come and listen to the elders preach together with us!"
"Now that the elder left, are you going to come and preach to us?"
...
Everyone clamored to get a word in, all expressing dissatisfaction towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Uh, if it's just up to Elder Li's standard, it's also not impossible for me to preach to you guys!"
One sentence made everyone stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.
This guy was bragging, right?
The moment Chi Feng heard, he smiled coldly and said, "Alright then, you try preaching! Everyone, all come and listen to whether or not our temple's number one genius can spout about some profound things!"
Some shallow truths, everyone naturally all knew.
Even if there was a gap between those sitting here, it also would not be too ridiculous.
Therefore, Chi Feng completely did not believe that Ye Yuan could spout out some profound things.
Being able to raise questions did not mean being able to preach to everyone!
They were all Four-star priests, who could be much better than anyone?!
Ye Yuan smiled, walked up the high platform, and said in a clear voice, "Then next, I'll carry on talking from the place Elder Li stopped just now …"
Hence, Ye Yuan started to speak eloquently without ceasing.
At the start, everyone's faces all revealed disdain.
But the more he said, the more serious the expressions on everyone's faces got.
They finally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking around!
The things that Ye Yuan said were even clearer and easier to understand than Elder Li, and he also went straight to the point.
Clearly, Ye Yuan's understanding of the Zi Shou Long Qin Pill was far from what they could compare to.
Even though Ye Yuan's refinement of demon divine pills was still lacking, to talk about the understanding of pill formulas, 100 Elder Lis could not catch up to him even by whipping their horses.
Moreover, medicinal pills of level four difficulty were still nothing in Ye Yuan's eyes.
Otherwise, he also would not have refined a peak superior-grade Baqi Leiyin Pill so easily.
It was just that some specifics of the refining methods, as well as proficiency and specific application areas of demonic attraction art, Ye Yuan was still lacking in some level of skill.
What was truly difficult were level seven and above medicinal pills!
The group of priests was wholly enraptured listening. Their eyes became brighter and brighter. Clearly, they all had considerable gains.
Even Chi Feng had long already forgotten to look at the joke too. He was focused on Ye Yuan's preaching.
"Uh, that's about it. These are some of the easy to fall into mistake areas that I sorted out myself. As long as you all practice hard, you should be able to increase the grade of the medicinal pills considerably," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Chapter 1758 - Trash Missions
"There's no way to preach anymore! That Ye Yuan is simply bullying people to the extreme! Going too far!"
The moment Elder Li entered, he started bellowing.
There were currently several elders in the house right now. Stonefeather, Ni Kun, Ku Mu
, and the rest, were all present.
When the few people heard Elder Li's roars, they immediately knew what had happened.
"Elder Li, that punk is making a problem again?" Ni Kun said in a solemn voice.
Elder Li smiled coldly and said, "Otherwise? This old man hasn't even preached halfway and that brat interrupted ten times! Ten times! How to preach still?"
Quite a few elders immediately felt the same when they heard it and criticized Ye Yuan.
"That Ye Yuan really has no respect for his elders! The last time I was preaching, it was rebutted by him until I couldn't step down!"
"Isn't that so? Ever since this brat became a priest, the temple hasn't had peace from top to bottom!"
"Seems like each of us elders has a grudge with him. Each time we preach, he'll ask some strange and outlandish questions, really infuriating to death!"
...
These elders were all incomparably indignant. But the words expressed and the implied meaning all revealed a hint of helplessness.
Because of Ye Yuan's questions, they really could not answer.
The faults that Ye Yuan found, they also had no way of disputing.
It was also precisely because so that even though they gnashed their teeth in hatred toward Ye Yuan, they could not do anything to him.
No reason other than he was impressive!
Not convinced, you debate it with him!
The elders normally all stood high above the masses, receiving the worship and respect of priests and priest trainees.
But Ye Yuan only came a few days and completely crumbled their settings.
These elders naturally felt like they had no face.
Ni Kun snorted coldly and said, "This punk is simply too outrageous! Who does he think he is? At this rate, the entire Priest Temple will be turned upside down!"
Clearly, Ni Kun's sermons had also been questioned by Ye Yuan before. Furthermore, the number of times was not a few.
Ni Kun was not pleased with Ye Yuan to begin now. Now, he could not bear the sight of him even more.
The moment Elder Li heard, he said, "Elder Ni, this punk must be taught a good lesson! Otherwise, his nose is almost pointing to the sky already!"
"How to punish? Asking questions during sermons, this is a tradition since ancient times. Could it be that we're forbidding him from speaking? If this were to spread out, how will us elders still keep a foothold in front of priests?" Ku Mu said.
Ni Kun suddenly grinned and said, "This brat, this old man has long wanted to take him down a peg or two!"
Ni Kun's words immediately aroused the interests of the elders.
"Elder Ni, you have a way?"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "Eternal Chess Game 'Ask Not', could it be that you all forgot about it?"
The moment the elders heard, they immediately revealed knowing smiles.
Elder Li even laughed loudly and said, "Brilliant, Elder Ni! Truly brilliant!"
...
Ye Yuan did not know that these elders were currently scheming against him. After preaching, he went to get missions.
In the Priest Temple, wanting to earn contribution points, one naturally had to receive pill refining missions.
For the same pill refining mission, the higher the quality of the medicinal pill, the more the contribution points obtained.
In this half over year, Ye Yuan would frequently take on some of the temple's pill refining missions. Presently, he was already more and more well-versed in refining demon divine pills.
But Ye Yuan's pill refinements were different from the other priests.
The other priests all turned their noses up at those low-difficulty missions. But what Ye Yuan took on in this half a year were all some extremely low difficulty missions.
Among them, some missions did not even have contribution points, because they were too easy.
These missions, some missions that could not be resolved by capital cities below, or even counties.
Reaching imperial cities, the difficulty of this level of missions were too low. No one cared about it at all.
But Ye Yuan completed each one with the greatest care.
"Heh, Lord Ye Yuan came again, what level of mission do you plan on taking on this time?"
The ones in charge of missions were a few priest trainees. They had long had some understanding of Ye Yuan's habits already.
Even though they were very disdainful in their hearts toward this, Ye Yuan's identity was extraordinary, they naturally did not dare to slight him.
Ye Yuan said, "Uh … I'll get ten 2-star difficulty missions this time."
As he said this, Ye Yuan started choosing the 2-star missions he preferred more from the mission list.
These missions that Ye Yuan picked were naturally pinpointed and not blindly chosen.
If the mission did not have much help to his pill refining standard, he would not pick it.
Just as Ye Yuan was choosing the missions, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind.
"Heh, actually doing these trash missions that nobody does! What temple's number one genius? I think that he's simply a knock-off, right?"
Ye Yuan turned his head to look and it was a gray-robed youth. He could not help rolling his eyes as he said, "Whatever missions I pick is none of your business! A meddlesome busybody who doesn't understand anything!"
The gray-robed youth's face turned dark and he said, "Brat, do you know who I am? To actually dare speak to me like this?"
Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "What has it got to do with me who you are? Do you think that I'm the same as you, poking into other people's affairs without knowing anything?"
When the others heard Ye Yuan's words, each and every one of them was silent like cicadas in winter.
Too domineering!
The rest all recognized that this gray-robed youth in front of them was called Kong Yun, known as the number one priest!
Being repeatedly rebutted by Ye Yuan, Kong Yun said angrily, "What a razor-tongued brat! Heh, the dignified temple's number one genius is actually doing this sort of trash mission. Really making people die of laughter! This priest has been in closed-seclusion these few years. I didn't expect that such a ridiculous thing actually appeared in the temple."
In reality, before Ye Yuan appeared, the temple's number one genius, this title, had always belonged to Kong Yun.
But last time, Ye Yuan one-shotted Chi Feng on his second time refining demon divine pills. This made the temple's number one genius title quietly transfer hands.
Kong Yun had always been in seclusion. Who knew that the moment he exited seclusion, his number one genius title was gone.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that a punk called Ye Yuan appeared.
Today, Kong Yun came to get missions. Who knew that he just happened to run into Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan gave Kong Yun a glance and said coolly, "How many star missions can you take on?"
The moment Kong Yun heard, this kid had the intention of challenging him!
Heh heh, interesting!
Kong Yun said proudly, "With this priest's strength, all 5-star missions are nothing difficult. Why, could it be that you want to compete with me? With just … the likes of these trash missions? Hahaha …"
Regarding this, Kong Yun was still extremely confident.
His closed-seclusion this time, his Alchemy Dao strength made great improvements.
5-star difficulty missions include some level five difficulty medicinal pills, as well as a small number of simple level six difficulty medicinal pills.
With his current strength, he could basically sweep across 5-star missions.
And this aspect, other priests could not do it at all.
Ye Yuan looked at Kong Yun like he was looking at an idiot. He turned his head to that priest trainee, and said, "Give me the 7-star difficulty mission list!"
Kong Yun could not help being taken back when he heard, bursting into laughter soon after as he said, "I heard that you've never done missions p
assing 3-stars before in this half a year. You actually want to do 7-star missions now? Are you trying to spite me? Haha, spitting also requires strength!"
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and settled on a few of the most difficult ones among 7-star missions before saying, "Tomorrow noon, I'll come to hand in the missions. When you complete these missions too, then come and raise a hue with me. Now, scram further away for me!"
Chapter 1759 - Verification and Acceptance
Looking at Ye Yuan's departing back view, Kong Yun was angered until his expression was livid.
While the others were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.
"Damn punk, to actually dare be so arrogant in front of me! 7-star missions, heh, I want to see how you complete them!" Kong Yun smiled coldly and said.
"This Ye Yuan is crazy, right? He actually wants to challenge 7-star missions!"
"7-star missions are what even elders might not be able to complete. That guy's posturing was done over the top, right?"
"Isn't that so? Probably got carried away with the title of the temple's number one genius, right?"
"This half a year, he has never taken any mission that surpasses 3-star difficulty. Jumping to 7-star all of a sudden, isn't this a joke?"
...
Regarding Ye Yuan's actions, everyone was very disapproving of it.
3-star to 7-star, in between this was an insurmountable gulf.
7-star missions, only elders would occasionally accept.
Kong Yun came in front of that priest trainee and said with a grim face, "Let me take a look at what kind of missions he drew."
The priest trainee did not dare to defy and handed the mission list to Kong Yun.
The moment Kong Yun looked, his expression changed first. Then he immediately burst into laughter and said, "This brat is probably a fool, right? These missions, if he can complete them, I, Kong Yun, will pluck my head off and let him kick like a ball!"
Ye Yuan's move was too arrogant, throwing away all of his face.
His loud laughter was also wanting to gain back some ground.
Everyone was also very curious just what kind of 7-star missions Ye Yuan took on.
There were many 7-star missions. There were easy ones and also difficult ones.
