But this time, Ye Yuan's mental strength was exhausted too greatly, and needed deep sleep before he could recover his state.
On this day, Ye Yuan finally woke up. He discovered that a pair of large eyes were currently staring at him.
A pig nose was currently pressed against his nose.
"Treasure Pig? Tong'er went into closed-seclusion?" Ye Yuan came to a realization very quickly.
"Grunt! Grunt!"
Treasure Pig nodded its head repeatedly. Ye Yuan had a revelation.
"Your Excellency, you finally woke up! Tong'er consumed the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill and already returned to the Purple Extreme Hall to go into a closed-seclusion." Ning Tianping said.
These few days, Ning Tianping few people had always been keeping watch over Ye Yuan.
Seeing him wake up at this time, they also let out a long sigh in relief.
Ye Yuan slowly got up and said with a nod, "Delayed for a very long time, it's time to do proper business."
Xiao Feng's gaze turned intent and he said, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Yuan said, "Isn't it said that Empyrean Flutterfeather set up an Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, using alchemy battles to determine the rank of the alchemy god? Then let's go take a look!"
When Xiao Feng heard that, his eyes could not help lighting up. Slapping his t.h.i.g.h hard, he said, "Man, I'm really stupid, why didn't I think of this? With your strength, wouldn't everyone still fight to cooperate with us when the time comes? This matter brooks no delay. Let's quickly go over!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No rush! The pill refinement this time, I had some gains. Wait for me to sort it out. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion."
Meditating in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan really had many thoughts and feelings.
What Tong'er said was right, the pill refinement this time was indeed the greatest challenge that he encountered in his life.
Even when refining the Dao Defying Pill back then, it was also not as painful and exhausting as now.
Ye Yuan spent more than 20 days to deduce the medicinal properties and to continuously compare the spirit medicines, finding errors and omissions and re-deducing.
Deducing entirely the medicinal properties, Ye Yuan started deriving the pill formula.
Just like that, one month's time, Ye Yuan was immersed in extremely intense deductions.
How could he not be tired?
But he was extremely satisfied with the final results.
To be able to refine the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill into vast spirit divine-grade, Ye Yuan himself also felt very accomplished.
And this also made him have a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of spirit medicines.
The medicinal properties of spirit medicines did not exist in solitary. There were very deep connections intrinsically too. It was just that this kind of connection was too complicated. The deductions were naturally not as direct as directly comprehending them.
But, after really deducing it, the benefits were naturally immense.
Although this could not help Ye Yuan to break through to the Ancestor Realm, it consolidated his alchemy foundation.
A night quietly passed.
On the second day, Ye Yuan went out of the pill refining room, settled the bill, and left the Hundred Herb Gathering.
The Hundred Herb Gathering's pill refining room's rent was extremely high. Renting the pill refining room for more than 40 days in a row, Ye Yuan also spent a considerable fee, making his flesh hurt.
The party was currently walking on the streets when suddenly, a manservant-looking young man blocked Ye Yuan's path.
The manservant asked, "May I ask if it's Lord Ye Yuan?"
Ye Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but still nodded and said, "That's right, I'm Ye Yuan, looking for me for?"
The manservant said, "Just now, someone had me pass a word to you. If you want to see Elder Jiang Yuan, you can go to Linnan Street's Darkpine Courtyard."
When Ye Yuan heard that, his two eyes narrowed slightly and he said smilingly, "You go back and tell him that I'm not interested."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought everyone and directly left.
The moment this manservant spoke, Ye Yuan knew that this person must have been sent by Jiang Hua.
Although everyone hoped to request an audience with Jiang Yuan back then inside the gatehouse, it might also be those people. But the greatest likelihood was still Jiang Hua.
This Jiang Hua felt that he definitely could not find the connections, so he deliberately found someone to draw his attention, so as to make a move against him.
Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart, Jiang Hua was bullying him depending on the latter being young, green, and inexperienced. Did he feel that using this kind of method could lure Ye Yuan to a remote place to dispose of?
He was also looking down on him too much!
Disregarding that he had seen through Jiang Hua's thoughts, even if he did not see through, Ye Yuan also did not plan on going to ask Jiang Yuan again.
A good man did not backtrack.
Even if Ye Yuan found Springwind Hall to cooperate in the end, that would also be Jiang Yuan coming to beg him, and not him going to beg Jiang Yuan.
...
At Darkpine Courtyard, when Qin Guan heard the manservant's report, his brows could not help furrowing.
"Could it be that this punk doesn't wish to request an audience with Elder Jiang Yuan?"
Jiang Hua smiled coldly and said, "This punk has some backbone! But him not coming doesn't mean that I can't take care of him! You go and make another trip, tell Ye Yuan in this manner, he'll definitely follow you here!"
Jiang Hua said a few sentences to the manservant, the manservant immediately received the order and left.
Qin Guan listened by the side and could not help giving a thumbs up, praising, "Heh, impressive! Indeed impressive! Younger Brother Jiang Hua is well-deserving of being the favorite in front of Family Head!"
Jiang Hua smiled with narrowed eyes as he said, "If I can't even take care of a Celestial Deity Realm brat, I, this steward, would also have been alive in vain. Elder Brother, I'll leave this place to you. Family Head still had me run some affairs. I'll leave first."
Qin Guan smiled faintly and said, "You go and work; leave this kind of trivial thing to me."
Not long after the manservant left, he indeed led Ye Yuan over.
Furthermore, there was just Ye Yuan alone.
Entering Darkpine Courtyard, Ye Yuan felt that he got caught in an array formation.
It was just that this level of array formation, Ye Yuan did not place it in his sights at all.
With his present spatial law strength, wanting to escape was not a difficult thing.
Entering the courtyard, a middle-aged man was currently pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking himself.
The manservant said respectfully, "Master, Ye Yuan is brought over."
Qin Guan waved his hand, the manservant immediately left.
Ye Yuan's two eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Qin Guan, he said, "It was you who used Brother Xiao's life to threaten me?"
That manservant found Ye Yuan again and told Ye Yuan that Xiao Feng was Springwind Hall's disciple.
If he did not come to Darkpine Courtyard, then Xiao Feng would die very horribly!
Indeed, with Jiang Hua's status, dealing with a puny little low-level deacon was truly too easy.
Even though he was just a measly steward.
With Jiang Yuan's power and influence, as long as Jiang Hua casually opened his mouth, he could doom Xiao Feng beyond redemption.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Yuan and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Brat, indeed arrogant enough! Arriving at my place here, you actually still dare to talk like this?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Where's Jiang Hua?"
Qin Guan smiled and said, "You offended Younger Brother Jiang Hua and should know that you'd have today's outcome. Either you die,
or Xiao Feng dies! Of course, since you came here, it shows that you've already made the choice."
Ye Yuan looked at Qin Guan and said coolly, "With just the likes of you?"
Qin Guan drank another cup of wine and said with a smile, "Already on your deathbed and you're still being stubborn! If I can't even take care of a puny little Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity, so many years of cultivation would also have been all for naught."
Done talking, his gaze turned cold, a horrifying surge of world power suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire courtyard inside.
Qin Guan naturally did not dare to make a move on the streets, so he forced Ye Yuan into this Darkpine Courtyard in order to make it convenient to kill.
Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at an idiot, and said coolly, "Originally wanted to dispose of Jiang Hua, this trouble, but since he isn't around, then you can only blame that you're unlucky."
Chapter 1923 - Bai Tong
"I'm unlucky? You still haven't figured out the situation now, right?"
Likewise, Qin Guan used an expression like looking at an idiot to look at Ye Yuan.
Could it be that this punk was a fool?
A mere Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity actually dared to utter such wild ravings.
No matter what, he was a True God Realm powerhouse too, could it be that he did not know the disparity between Celestial Deity Realm and True God Realm?
"The one who hasn't figured out the situation is yourself!" Ye Yuan responded with a sneer.
Suddenly, an even more powerful undulation reverberated inside the courtyard, directly pushing Qin Guan's world power back.
"Puhwark!"
Qin Guan was caught by surprise and directly sent flying by this tremendous force, spewing out a large mouthful of blood.
Beside Ye Yuan, a youth in fluttering white clothing appeared since no idea when.
Qin Guan's gaze revealed a look of astonishment as he cried out in shock, "F-Fourth Firmament True God!"
At this time, Ye Yuan also sized up this young man with vermilion lips and white teeth beside him curiously. He was truly beautiful until even girls would be jealous.
Ye Yuan did not expect that after Tong'er grew up, he would actually be this appearance.
Detecting Ye Yuan's gaze, Tong'er could not help rolling his eyes as he said unhappily, "What's there to look at?"
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "I even thought that you'd become an old geezer. I didn't expect that you're going to have this appearance! Tsk tsk, looks not bad."
Spending a long time with Tong'er, even though he knew that he was an Empyrean powerhouse, that childish appearance made people unable to give rise to awe and veneration toward him at all.
Now, suddenly becoming a young man, Ye Yuan's mentality similarly could not wrap itself around it.
Tong'er's expression flickered incessantly, and he said in a cold voice, "In the future, you have to call me Lord Bai Tong! Otherwise, hmph hmph!"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Pfft, Lord … Bai Tong? I … I really can't get used to it in this short while."
Bai Tong rolled his eyes again, he discovered that he could not awe this guy at all.
However, him being able to recover to his current appearance was also all thanks to Ye Yuan.
"Forget it, just call me Brother Bai then! This time, it's really all thanks to you. The recovery is much better than I imagined. Furthermore, thanks to you, when I return to boyhood from old age again in the future, I'll directly recover to my current realm and don't need to become that appearance before again." Bai Tong said with some excitement.
His initial-most mental preparation was recovering to First Firmament True God.
After all, this medicinal pill was too difficult to refine.
But who knew that Ye Yuan actually refined vast spirit divine-grade in the end, the effects of recovery naturally far exceeded his expectations.
Fourth Firmament True God, middle-stage True God, that strength was a totally different level compared to First Firmament True God.
More importantly, what Ye Yuan refined was a vast spirit Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill. It restored part of the defects in his cultivation method, letting him have no need to become a kid without the strength to truss up a chicken when he returned to boyhood from old age again.
About the medicinal effect of the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, Ye Yuan was also quite surprised.
The person who could create such a heaven-defying medicinal pill, his strength was definitely impressive.
It seemed like tigers were crouching and dragons were hiding in this world; one really should not look down on the heroes under the heavens!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to congratulate Brother Bai, but … let's take care of this trash first."
By the side, Qin Guan's expression turned stiff. Kneeling down with a thud, he wailed, "Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and affronted Your Excellency! I … I beg Your Excellency to take this lowly one to be a fart and let this lowly one go!"
Seeing the Bai Tong with an imposing aura, how could Qin Guan still have any d.e.s.i.r.e to resist at all?
Having a First Firmament True God go deal with a Fourth Firmament True God?
Not unless his head was kicked by a donkey!
Apart from begging for mercy, he seriously could not think of other ways.
Currently, in his heart, he had long 'greeted' Jiang Hua's 18 generations of ancestors.
This damn thing had clearly dug a pit for him to jump!
When taking action, Jiang Hua did not tell him that a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse was actually following by Ye Yuan's side!
"Let you go? If I didn't have the strength to protect myself, would you have let me go today? Since you had the thought to kill people stirred, you'll have to be prepared to be killed. Brother Bai, do it," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Toward this Qin Guan, Ye Yuan naturally could not give rise to any pity.
The other party was clearly here to kill Ye Yuan, and yet actually still hoped that Ye Yuan would show mercy and let him leave?
Bai Tong nodded slightly when he heard this. Qin Guan did not see him take any complicated action; he just lightly pointed out a finger.
Qin Guan only felt a white light gradually enlarge in his pupils.
After that, there was no more after that.
In front of Bai Tong, he could not even muster up divine essence.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan's pupils also constricted as he said, "Brother Bai is skillful! I really didn't expect that not only is Brother Bai a Seven-star Alchemy God, your martial arts are also so formidable."
Bai Tong said with a proud look, "You don't think that only you know spatial law in this world, right?"
The two exchanged a glance, both bursting into laughter.
...
"What did you say?! Qin Guan died? This … How is this possible?" Hearing the news of Qin Guan's death, Jiang Hua almost jumped up.
A True God Realm went to deal with a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity Realm and actually died!
This kind of thing was simply unheard of.
"T-This lowly one dare not deceive Lord Steward! This lowly one quietly waited for the outcome in the backyard but didn't see Lord Qin Guan return for a long time. Mustering up my courage, I went into the frontcourt and discovered that Lord Qin Guan had already long died."
Ye Yuan was not someone who indiscriminately killed the innocent. That manservant was merely a Divine Lord Realm young man, obeying people's orders. He naturally did not have the intention of exterminating once and for all.
But the frontcourt had an array formation isolating. So he did not know what happened in the backyard.
When he went to the frontcourt, it was long deserted already.
Jiang Hua's expression changed again and again. In his eyes, although Ye Yuan's strength was decent, he was merely a youngster who came from an imperial city in the end. So
what background could he have?
To imperial city this level, True Gods were already existences that they looked up to.
But who knew that Qin Guan, this True God Realm powerhouse, would die in his own courtyard without a sound just like that.
One had to know, killing a True God Realm powerhouse and defeating a True God Realm powerhouse were two completely different concepts.
With Qin Guan's strength, unless it was a Third Firmament True God and above powerhouse, otherwise, it was simply impossible to let him not even have a chance to escape.
After all, that was Qin Guan's own territory!
"Could it be that a Third Firmament True God and above powerhouse is actually following by that brat's side? This … How is this possible?" Jiang Hua did not quite dare to believe it.
Right at this time, a servant walked in and said to Jiang Hua with cupped fists, "Steward Jiang, Ye Yuan's party already entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion!"
Jiang Hua was taken back when he heard that and said, "Alchemy Celestial Pavilion? What did they go to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion for? Right, this kid wanted to become famous overnight through the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion! Heh heh, no wonder he uttered wild ravings, saying to make Family Head go find him in person. It turns out that what he thought of was this method! It's just that … he's too naive! Alchemy Celestial Pavilion's experts are as abundant as clouds. Does he, a mere Celestial Deity Realm brat, really think that he can stir up some waves?"
Chapter 1924 - Silver Alchemy Celestial Alchemist
"Senior, I want to become an alchemy celestial alchemist and enter the Alchemy Battle Arena."
The old man in front of Ye Yuan was the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion's examiner.
For many years, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had a resounding reputation. Alchemy celestial alchemists, even the lowest grade copper alchemy celestial alchemist, their status outside were also much higher than ordinary alchemists.
This was because alchemists that came out of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had all been through fight after fight. Those that charged out, their strength far surpassed ordinary alchemists.
Hence, wanting to become an alchemy celestial alchemist naturally needed stringent checks.
