Everyone was incomparably surprised, not knowing what origins this pink pig had, and what relationship it had with the Shadowmoon Sect.
After saying all these, Chai Zhen turned around and prepared to leave, and just happened to see Zhu Wen behind him.
Smack!
A crisp slap sounded out, then came Chai Zhen's bellow.
He shouted, "You idiot! Why didn't you tell me that Treasure Pig was here?"
Chapter 1824 - He Can't Teach Me
What was that Treasure Pig?
With Chai Zhen not saying anything, no one knew either.
But the people knew that this pink cute piggy definitely had an extraordinary background.
Except, no idea why this pig was so close to Ye Yuan. This made all of the sects extremely envious.
Returning to the Spirit Medicine Hall, Chai Zhen ordered people to go prepare the spirit medicines on the list straight away. He instructed that no matter how difficult, they must prepare it by today, and then deliver it to Upper Groove Court.
Finally, he returned to his residence, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"So close, so close! Du Rufeng this damn thing, almost scammed Your Father! But why would Treasure Pig appear here? Could it be that … that lord is also here?"
Thinking of this, Chai Zhen could not help being alarmed into breaking out in cold sweat.
...
Upper Groove Court, Ye Yuan's residence, Treasure Pig was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Saliva even hung off the corners of its mouth, as if it was still eating delicacies in his sleep.
This little thing was really like a pig, apart from eating, it was sleeping.
Xu Yan looked at the asleep Treasure Pig and said with a look of awe and asked Ye Yuan softly, "What background does this little thing have, for both Du Rufeng and Chai Zhen to actually be afraid of him!"
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? But shouldn't you be more concerned about that child?"
Xu Yan was taken aback and said uncertainly, "You mean … Little Tong? Isn't he just a kid? Even though he knows spatial law, his strength seems to be ordinary, right?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "His strength indeed isn't strong, but don't you forget the words he said to Treasure Pig. He might be the disciple of Treasure Pig's master or descendant. And Treasure Pig's owner is the true big shot!"
Xu Yan's face changed, he clearly did not think as deeply as Ye Yuan.
Currently, through Ye Yuan's tip, he was immediately startled into breaking out in cold sweat.
To be able to make two great True God elders so fearful, then what kind of existence was the important person behind him?
"This important person …"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Although the gap between True God Realm and True God Realm is similarly extremely great, to be able to make them so afraid at seeing a pet, that important person is very likely an Empyrean powerhouse!"
"Hiss …"
Although he was long mentally prepared, Xu Yan was still taken aback with fright by Ye Yuan's statement.
Empyrean powerhouse!
Even in the Heavenspan World, Empyrean powerhouses were absolute sovereigns in a region, an existence that rode above all life.
True Gods and Empyreans, both were existence from two completely different worlds.
Although Xu Yan was strong, barring no accidents, Empyrean this realm, was cut off from him.
In the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, practically no one had seen before Empyrean powerhouses.
This was an extremely mysterious bunch, gods standing high above the masses, existences that all life looked up to.
How could Xu Yan not be shocked?
Actually, Ye Yuan was also deeply moved in his heart.
As early as in the Immortal Grove World, he had already heard of Empyrean powerhouses.
All the way until today, it was his first time being so close to an Empyrean powerhouse.
Back then, Kun Wu and Dustless both predicted that it was absolutely impossible for him to reach the realm of Empyrean.
But now, he did not seem to be that far away from the Empyrean Realm anymore.
"But I can't figure out why Treasure Pig would stick to you? It should be its first time meeting you!" Xu Yan suddenly said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Most likely, it's aiming for the medicinal pills on me."
Xu Yan said in puzzlement, "The medicinal pills on you? Elder Du is a Six-star Alchemy God, could the medicinal pills he refines be worse than yours? Moreover, the temple's alchemists are also not just Du Rufeng alone. Some people's strengths are even above his. Why would this Treasure Pig pick you?"
Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Elder Xu, how do you want me to answer your question?"
Xu Yan said, "Of course it's to answer truthfully!"
He was indeed very curious about what unique aspect Ye Yuan had, to be able to make Treasure Pig not scruple to fall out with Little Tong.
Ye Yuan was helpless and could only say, "Of course it's naturally because the quality of my medicinal pills is better than theirs."
Xu Yan was stunned and scolded laughingly, "You punk, not coming up with a draft when you're bragging! How can a Six-star Alchemy God's strength be what you can imagine? Forget it, forget it, this kind of thing, maybe it's fate."
Ye Yuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and did not say anything.
Chai Zhen's efficiency was very high, he sent over all of the rank five spirit medicines on that very day.
When Ye Yuan saw the dazzling array of spirit medicines, he was also beside himself with joy.
He had always worried about the problem of spirit medicines after rank five. Wanting to become a qualified Five-star Alchemy God naturally needed large quantities of spirit medicines to practice.
Now, with Treasure Pig, this matter was resolved with ease.
There was still around half a month from the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. Ye Yuan could just make use of this period of time to become proficient in rank five divine pills.
After three days, a skinny figure slipped into Upper Groove Court sneakily.
His figure was erratic and extremely elusive.
In a blink of an eye, he ducked into Ye Yuan's room.
One look and he saw the Treasure Pig drooling away on the bed, and was immediately bellowing smoke from all seven orifices from anger.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
Little Tong took a step and immediately seemed to have hit into a wall, knocking until his nose ached badly.
"This kid actually even knows how to lay down a spatial restriction! Treasure Pig is mine! What right does he have?!" Little Tong said angrily.
Waiting for three days, Treasure Pig did not have the slightest sign of returning.
Little Tong finally could not bear it anymore and wanted to quietly steal Treasure Pig away.
But very clearly, he underestimated Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was extremely familiar with spatial law, how could he possibly let people break into the room?
Right then, a layer of ripples appeared in space, Ye Yuan's figure appeared.
When Little Tong saw Ye Yuan, his eyes spewed fire as he said, "Punk, what's the meaning of this? Treasure Pig is mine!"
Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Weren't you going to cut off all ties with him?"
Little Tong choked when he heard that and said with a cold snort, "That … That was just words said in anger! Moreover, Treasure Pig following you is just feeling novel for some time. Don't think that occasionally refining a few pretty decent quality medicinal pills, you can make Treasure Pig commit himself to you. Let me tell you, Treasure Pig's mouth is very picky!"
"Oh, then when it's willing to go back, I'll let it go back. You relax, I won't take forcible possession of it," Ye Yuan said coolly.
He indeed did not have the idea of making Treasure Pig his. He could not afford to raise this dainty pig. Eating medicinal pills ev
ery day, how could he afford to rear it?
Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Little Tong's expression eased up. He then said in a childish voice, "You can refine medicinal pills that satisfy Treasure Pig, so you indeed have a lot of potential. How about this? I'll make Du Rufeng take you in as a disciple, you just follow Du Rufeng in the future."
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and shook his head as he said, "Acknowledge him as my master? I'm not interested. He can't teach me."
The moment Little Tong heard, he was furious again and said, "You brat, really don't know how to appreciate favors! You merely just broke through to Celestial Deity Realm, do you really think that you're remarkable? Do you know how many people in Bamboo Groove Void Realm want to acknowledge Du Rufeng as master, but have no way? Who do you think you are, that even a Six-star Alchemy God can't teach you?"
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g his palm, several medicinal pills appeared in his palm.
The moment the medicinal pills appeared, the sleeping Treasure Pig seemed to have been struck by lightning, turning into a streak of pink light and pouncing toward Ye Yuan.
Chapter 1825 - Arousing Hostility
"Grunt! Grunt!"
Treasure Pig ate the few medicinal pills in Ye Yuan's hand clean in no time flat.
But Little Tong's gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.
"You … What you fed Treasure Pig just now were void spirit divine pills?"
Ye Yuan's brows raised up and he said, "Eh? You, this snotty brat, still have some knowledge huh, to actually know that it's void spirit divine pills with just a glance."
Treasure Pig ate very quickly just now, it was just a blink of an eye but was seen clearly by Little Tong.
Little Tong's face revealed a hint of solemness and he said, "These medicinal pills were all refined by you?"
Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "Not refined by me, could it be that you refined them?"
At this time, Little Tong's expression had a complicatedness that was not commensurate with his age.
Clearly, he was very shocked.
"That's impossible! You broke through to Celestial Deity Realm at most for a few years. Such a short time, how can you possibly refine rank five void spirit divine pills?" Little Tong said in disbelief.
It was not that void spirit divine pills were impossible to be refined. It was just that wanting to refine void spirit divine pills undoubtedly required the acc.u.mulation of a long time.
Alchemy Dao geniuses, even if it was geniuses among geniuses, it was also impossible to comprehend the method to refine void spirit divine pills within a few year's time.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Others can't, doesn't mean I can't."
Little Tong's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Impossible, I don't believe!"
Ye Yuan twisted Little Tong's ear and dragged him outside.
Little Tong was in pain and screamed, "Ouch, let me go! You punk, ate a bear's heart or a leopard's gall? To actually dare twist my ears!"
Ye Yuan pursed his lips and said, "You broke into my residence without permission. I haven't settled the scores with you yet, so what if I pinch you a little?"
Little Tong was so angry. Yet, Ye Yuan was proficient in spatial law, he did not have the strength to fight back at all.
At this time, Treasure Pig suddenly circled around in front of Ye Yuan and used a pitiful expression to look at him, seemingly pleading.
Ye Yuan was taken aback, only then, letting go.
Little Tong shot Treasure Pig a hateful glance and said huffily, "Humph! At least you still have a bit of conscience!"
Treasure Pig seemed to be currying favor, rubbing against Little Tong's trousers.
Sure enough, Little Tong's expression became much better. But he still said angrily, "Treasure Pig, you tell me now, want me or him?"
The moment Treasure Pig he looked at Little Tong and looked at Ye Yuan, the blank face revealing a difficult look.
Clearly, Treasure Pig could not bear to part with any.
Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Aren't you making things difficult for Treasure Pig like this?"
Little Tong said in a childish voice, "Treasure Pig is my pet, I can do whatever I want, is it your business?"
Ye Yuan's expression suddenly turned sharp, gaze staring at Little Tong heatedly as he said, "You're saying that … Treasure Pig is your pet?"
Little Tong was stared at by Ye Yuan until he was breaking out in goosebumps a little. Holding his little head high, he said unyieldingly, "I mean that it's my grandpa's pet! Then isn't it my pet?"
Ye Yuan's two eyes narrowed and he asked, "Who is your grandpa?"
Little Tong pursed his lips and said, "Saying it out will scare you to death! So, I won't tell you!"
Ye Yuan did not speak, but according to his guesses, Little Tong's grandpa was very likely to be an Empyrean powerhouse.
With Little Tong not saying anything, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of forcing it. Either way, this level of powerhouse was also not what he could currently come into contact with.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You go back then, as long as Treasure Pig is willing to leave, I won't stop it. But, if I discover that you sneak into my residence again, it won't be as simple as wringing your ears next time!"
Seeing Ye Yuan's gaze that had ill-intentions, Little Tong unconsciously touched his b.u.t.t.
Vivid in his mind!
Little Tong thought about it and said, "I'm not leaving anymore! I want to stay together with Treasure Pig!"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and he said, "No way!"
However, Treasure Pig looked at Ye Yuan again pitifully, the short pigtail wagging non-stop.
Even if Ye Yuan was decisive in going for the kill, he could not stop Treasure Pig's cute attack too.
He owed Treasure Pig a favor. If not for Treasure Pig, he would also be unable to refine pills to his heart's content like now.
Helpless, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Fine then, but if you want to stay, you must listen to me! Things that I don't let you do, you absolutely can't do, understood?"
Little Tong giggled and said, "Okay, deal! Are you going to refine pills now? I want to watch you refine pills!"
Ye Yuan said, "Before the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, I'll be refining pills. If you want to watch me refine pills, can, but if you disturb me, get lost at once!"
The moment Little Tong heard, his head nodded like a rattle-drum.
Heh, I want to see how high your pill refining standard is! You can refine rank five void spirit divine pills, this Empyrean doesn't believe even if beaten to death! Little Tong thought in his heart.
Upper Groove Court had an independent pill refining room. Inside, all kinds of facilities were prepared, Ye Yuan was very satisfied.
Little Tong carried the sleeping Treasure Pig and quietly watched Ye Yuan refine pills from the side. The expression on his face became more and more solemn, and the astonishment in his heart also grew greater and greater.
"This kid's pill refining level is already a consummate work of art! No wonder he looks down on even Du Rufeng, saying that old punk really has no way of teaching him anything! Forget about Du Rufeng, even I, in terms of the refinement of rank five divine pills, also don't dare to say that I'm stronger than him! This kid is just a thousand over years in bone age, how in the world did he cultivate?"
The more Little Tong looked, the more shocked he was inward.
Ye Yuan's technique in refining rank five divine pills still seemed a little unfamiliarized. But it was merely relatively speaking.
Even if he did not perform well, it was still peak heaven-grade too.
Furthermore, along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan's refining technique also became more and more skillful, the probability of heaven-grade also became smaller and smaller.
On the 12th day, Little Tong said, "This kid is simply a natural-born alchemist, his improvement is too fast! This kid has absolutely already glimpsed the source Gr
eat Dao, too strong! No wonder the moment Treasure Pig saw him, he couldn't move anymore."
...
On this day, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave officially began.
When the Shadowmoon Sect disciples walked over, they immediately attracted a series of sidelong glances.
Especially the disciples of the High Clarity Sect, Ruyi Sect, and several powerful sects. Each and every one of their expression was unfriendly.
"Heh heh, Yang Shen, even with your strength, you're unable to stay in Upper Groove Court. This bunch of rookies actually check into it!"
The person talking was called Luo Zhen, Ruyi Sect's number one person, peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse.
Yang Shen was the number one High Clarity Sect disciple. His cultivation was also at the peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity.
Yang Shen's face fell and he said, "What can staying in Upper Groove Court mean? Merely because of a pig! Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, strength decides everything! Staying in Upper Groove Court also doesn't mean that they can enter the divine temple!"
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "I've already talked with the junior brothers and sister, this time, must shave the Shadowmoon Sect bald! As long as all of us run into Shadowmoon Sect disciples, must make them lose very horribly."
Yang Shen's brows raised up and he said with a nod, "I also really want to see what extraordinary aspects this season's Shadowmoon Sect disciples have!"
These two people exchanged a glance, clearly reaching some kind of tacit agreement.
Actually, not just them, quite a few powerful sects' elders and disciples were all brooding on the Shadowmoon Sect staying in Upper Groove Court.
Chapter 1826 - Three Moves are Too Many, Just One Move
14 True God level sects, 64 disciples gathered on the practicing field.
But everyone's attention was on the Shadowmoon Sect, on Ye Yuan.
Yi Qingxiang felt these gazes that had ill-intentions and could not resist somewhat feeling fear.
"Elder Xu, why … why are they using this kind of eyes to look at us?"
Elder Xu said coolly, "Staying in Upper Groove Court with our strength will naturally arouse their disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. One has to know, even the High Clarity Sect doesn't have the qualifications to stay in it. In a while, you guys have to be careful."
