After Empyrean Loneswan drank the Sunshine Glow, he felt even more respect towards Ye Yuan from the depths of his heart.
As the saying went: those who reached first can teach. Ye Yuan could casually take out such a freakish pill formula, it could be seen how deep his attainments in Alchemy Dao were.
Indeed as expected, as soon as Sunshine Glow rolled out, it immediately swept across Jiu Luo Ji, and allowed Grand Pill Establishment earn boatloads of money.
"Listening attentively to Master preach on Dao these few days, this disciple suddenly saw the light and seemed to have already touched the threshold of middle-stage Dao Realm," Empyrean Loneswan said excitedly.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and shook his head and said, "You're still far away! Although you became an Empyrean and a Seven-star Alchemy God, your foundation is too shallow. It seems like you've already touched the threshold of middle-stage Dao Realm, but in reality, you're too far away. Even if give you a thousand, ten thousand years, you might not be able to enter middle-stage Dao Realm too."
Imparting Dao to Loneswan these few days, Ye Yuan was already shocked.
He had never seen before a Seven-star Alchemy God with such a shallow foundation.
Being able to enter Seven-star, this Empyrean Loneswan absolutely got massively lucky.
Placed in the Southern Border, Empyrean Loneswan was probably even inferior to Yun Yi, let alone talk about other Seven-star Alchemy Gods.
Hearing Ye Yuan's face, Empyrean Loneswan also had a look of embarrassment on his face as he said with vicissitudes of emotion, "It's exactly as Master said. It's just that this Northernmost Steppe, spirit medicines are lacking and inheritances are missing. Wanting to step into Seven-star is as hard as ascending to heaven!"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Hence, if you want to improve further, don't reach beyond your grasp, but be down-to-earth."
Empyrean Loneswan repeatedly said yes.
The two people chatted for a while when Empyrean Loneswan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Master, Jiu Luo Ji's other seven great Empyreans have heard about you. All of them want to come over to pay respects to you. I wonder … what's your opinion?"
Chapter 2076 - Aweing the Group of Empyreans
Ye Yuan's brows raised up, thinking to himself that the thing he waited for finally came.
He naturally did not do so many things in order to show off his power and make a name for himself. It was actually in order to make these Empyreans pay him a visit.
Jiu Luo Ji had nine great Empyreans. Ye Yuan, as an outsider, running over to ask for people without rhyme or reason was no different from a lamb being thrown to the wolves.
Then what could let him get close to these Empyreans?
It was naturally alchemy!
Since Empyreans revered alchemy immensely, then as long as he displayed his alchemy strength, would these Empyreans still not look to him for help?
In addition, Ye Yuan also took out the Sunshine Glow, this major killing tool. These Empyreans would view him in a different light even more.
As for Empyrean Loneswan wanting to acknowledge him as master, this exceeded Ye Yuan's expectations.
Eight Empyreans appearing in unison, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy all of a sudden.
Song Cao and the rest of the disciples waited upon them carefully, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Ye Yuan sat up straight, looking calm and composed.
The eight great Empyreans all sized Ye Yuan up with curious faces, clearly all carrying a trace of doubt.
They never would have thought that Empyrean Loneswan's master was actually so young.
"Master, Disciple will introduce to you. This is Sword Star Pavilion's Empyrean Void Sword," Empyrean Loneswan said.
"Master Ji!" Empyrean Void Sword said with clasped hands.
Ye Yuan looked over, nodded his head slightly, which was considered to have greeted Empyrean Void Sword.
Empyrean Void Sword's brows furrowed, thinking to himself that this boy was so arrogant.
Empyrean Loneswan appeared slightly awkward, but he knew that Master had great ability. Being a little cold and arrogant was normal. Hence, he carried on making introductions to several others.
"This is Ice Cloud Tower's master, Empyrean Ice Cloud. Her ice-attribute laws have reached the acme of perfection, with her strength being powerful."
But the fourth one that Empyrean Loneswan introduced was a middle-aged woman who had already partly lost her good looks but still retained her graceful bearing.
Actually, from the moment she came in, Ye Yuan's attention was placed on her.
Among Jiu Luo Ji's nine great Empyreans, only this Empyrean Ice Cloud was a woman. Who could it be if it was not her?
"Mmm." Ye Yuan still grunted a response perfunctorily.
Empyrean Ice Cloud gave a cold snort and said, "Your esteemed self is also a little too arrogant, right? We're this Jiu Luo Ji's masters no matter what. Us greeting you and you gave us this kind of attitude?"
The moment Empyrean Loneswan heard this, he knew that it was going to be bad. Others did not know, but he knew that his master was not being arrogant. It was his master having the confidence.
How could ordinary Empyreans enter his eyes?
It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud, this old lady's temper, was not an ordinary kind of cold arrogance. How could she stand Ye Yuan's attitude?
Sure enough, the other Empyreans were all reserved. But reaching her, it broke down.
Clearly, the other Empyreans also knew Empyrean Ice Cloud's temper and were all waiting for her to jump out.
Everyone was not a fool. For Empyrean Loneswan to be able to acknowledge such a young person as his master, this young man definitely had aspects surpassing others.
Although they all did not believe it, they also would not be silly enough to go and offend the other party.
After all, they were all here to request for pills, and not to look for trouble.
Once they offended the master, where would they go to find medicinal pills?
Sure enough, Ye Yuan's eyelids raised slightly and he said indifferently, "If Empyrean Ice Cloud feels like this Ji's attitude is haughty, you can leave first. You all came here simply for the sake of requesting for pills. Since you have something to ask this Ji, then whatever attitude I have, you have to endure it. Isn't that so?"
The moment the group of Empyreans heard, they all thought, terrific fellow, indeed clashed!
How venerated was Empyrean Ice Cloud's status in this Jiu Luo Ji? When had she suffered this kind of wrong before?
It was only to see her laugh. She then said, "Huhu! What a wildly arrogant Master Ji! I wonder if your ability is as great as your spirit!"
Ye Yuan gave her a light glance and said coolly, "How can my ability be what you can gauge? I already said, those who don't believe me can very well leave."
"You!" Empyrean Ice Cloud's frosty eyebrows rose in anger and she suddenly stood up.
With her flying into a rage, Empyrean pressure swept over toward Ye Yuan crazily. She actually wanted to take action.
With this, Empyrean Loneswan was enraged too. He said with a cold snort, "Ice Cloud, letting you all come in is Master giving you guys face. But you're not giving this Empyrean face like this! This place doesn't welcome you! Please leave! Also, don't come and beg this Empyrean for medicinal pills for your Ice Cloud Tower anymore in the future!"
Empyrean Loneswan had long already prostrated on all fours in admiration toward Ye Yuan these few days.
Although he was an Empyrean, he would never put on any airs of an Empyrean in front of Ye Yuan.
Who could have thought that this Ice Cloud did not give face at all, and actually questioned Master in front of him, and even wanted to attack? How could he tolerate it?
Empyrean Ice Cloud's expression darkened. Empyrean Loneswan's move was too vicious!
In this Northernmost Steppe, Seven-star Alchemy Gods could be this arrogant.
No one dare
d to offend a Seven-star Alchemy God. Once offended, one could only feel endless regret. Their cultivation could only rely on luck in the future!
Empyrean Ice Cloud's face was extremely ugly, standing there, at a loss on what to do.
The others were also secretly startled. They all did not think that the normally incomparably lofty Empyrean Loneswan was actually so respectful toward Ye Yuan.
Empyrean Void Sword hurriedly stepped forward to be a mediator, saying with a smile, "The two of you, don't get angry. Since Master Ji is Empyrean Loneswan's master, then he naturally has genuine ability. Younger Sister Ice Cloud, you also have to fix your temper."
Empyrean Ice Cloud gave a cold snort but did not dare to make a sound anymore. But she still had a stubborn look on her face, not having the intention of backing down.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, "I know that everyone questions my strength, but how can my ability be what you can imagine! As long as you all can pool together enough spirit medicines, this Ji will create ten Empyreans for you, where's the difficulty in that?"
The moment these words came out, everyone's faces revealed disbelieving expressions.
Which of them did not corroborate their Dao as Empyreans after narrow escapes, bathed in bloody slaughters in this Northernmost Steppe.
How could Empyrean powerhouses be created as you wished?
Empyrean Ice Cloud's face had an even more apparent sneer.
But this time, she learned to be smart and just smiled coldly and did not speak.
"Heh, you all don't put on those expressions. That day when I had the alchemy battle with Master, I didn't open my furnace. But do you all know what grade was Master's Earth Nether Imprint Pill?" Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold smile.
Empyrean Void Sword said hesitantly, "What grade was it? Could it have been … superior-grade?"
Another Empyrean said, "Heaven-grade?"
"Huhu, you all see for yourselves!"
Empyrean Loneswan laughed coldly and threw a small bottle to Empyrean Void Sword.
Empyrean Void Sword caught the medicine bottle curiously. The others all stared at all, similarly having curious faces.
Looking at Empyrean Loneswan's appearance, could it be divine-grade?
Except, they denied this notion very quickly. How was this possible?
Earth Nether Imprint Pill was a level nine medicinal pill. They knew that Empyrean Loneswan could at most only refine high-grade.
Even if this Ye Yuan was formidable, he was also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. At the very most, it was also just peak heaven-grade.
Empyrean Void Sword probed with divine sense and his expression suddenly changed wildly, looking at Ye Yuan with a horrified face, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Brother Void Sword, just what grade is it?"
When everyone saw his expression, they became even more curious.
Could it really be divine-grade?
Void Sword threw the small bottle to another Empyrean and said with a sigh, "Brother Huiming, you see for yourself!"
Chapter 2077 - Ruthless Extermination
The medicinal bottle passed around the hands of the Empyrean powerhouses.
After the person in front finished inspecting, they just silently passed it to the next person, the expression on their faces incomparably stunned.
Even someone as cold as ice like Empyrean Ice Cloud also had her curiosity stirred.
She thought to herself, could this medicinal pill really be divine-grade?
"Younger Sister Ice CLoud, you take a look for yourself.
Among the eight people, the stronger Empyrean Redfeather heaved a slight sigh and passed the small medicinal bottle to Empyrean Ice Cloud.
Ice Cloud looked at him curiously, caught the small bottle that was thrown over, and said scornfully, "Even if it's divine-grade, it's also not to the extent of making all of you have this expression, right? Humph! So what if it's divine-grade, is this the reason for looking down on … us?"
As she expressed her derision, she sunk her divine sense into the small bottle.
Talking until the end, her entire sentence was stuck in her throat, and she only felt that her throat was incomparably dry.
"V-Vast spirit … divine-grade! H-How is this possible?"
Empyrean Ice Cloud's pupils constricted, her gaze full of disbelief.
Vast spirit divine pill!
In this vast expanse of Northernmost Steppe, had vast spirit divine pills appeared before?
Empyrean Ice Cloud was also not too sure, but most likely it had never occurred!
Although the Northernmost Steppe was boundlessly vast, the Seven-star Alchemy Gods added up were also just those few.
Even if those people's strengths were stronger than Empyrean Loneswan, it was also not that much stronger.
Forget about having them refine vast spirit divine pills; even ordinary purple spirit divine-grade, they probably could not refine it.
Even if refined, it was also those level one and two simple medicinal pills.
The difficulty of level nine medicinal pills to them was too high!
But this young man in front of them actually refined a vast spirit divine pill with the cultivation realm of a Six-star Alchemy God?
How was this possible?
"Sigh, Younger Sister Ice Cloud, you were too impulsive! How can someone capable of making Younger Brother Loneswan respect so much not have some ability?" Empyrean Redfeather also sighed slightly and said.
"Some ability? Heh heh, Master Ji … doesn't have just some ability here!" Empyrean Void Sword said with a laugh.
"Humph! This Empyrean is also a respected figure in this Northernmost Steppe. If not for Master's Alchemy Dao making me look up to it, why would I acknowledge him as my master? Ice Cloud, before you came in, you said that you'd talk nicely. That's why this Empyrean agreed. But now, after entering Grand Pill Establishment, you disrespected Master. This Empyrean can't help you anymore!" Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold snort.
Wouldn't Empyrean Ice Cloud looking down on Ye Yuan be equivalent to looking down on him, Empyrean Loneswan?
How silly would he have been, to acknowledge an incapable Six-star Alchemy God as his master?
"This … Master Ji, I … I …" Empyrean Ice Cloud stammered and already did not know what she should say.
A Six-star Alchemy God capable of refining vast spirit divine pills was absolutely a Mount Tai existence in this Northernmost Steppe!
She actually questioned such a major power just now.
Only now did she know that when Ye Yuan said he could create an Empyrean powerhouse with a flip of his hand, those were not empty words.
Since Ye Yuan could refine a vast spirit divine-grade Earth Nether Imprint Pill, then refining a divine-grade and above Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill was absolutely nothing difficult.
It was just that the spirit medicines that the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill required were too hard to come by. Otherwise, wouldn't Ye Yuan creating a batch of Empyrean powerhouses be like taking something out of his pocket?
"Empyrean Ice Cloud, you can leave now. The medicinal pills that you're requesting for, this Ji won't refine them. In addition, all of Grand Pill Establishment's medicinal pill supply to your Ice Cloud Tower will discontinue starting from today!" Ye Yuan opened his mouth coolly and directly issued the order to chase away the guest.
He sneered coldly to no end in his heart. Finally he showed Empyrean Ice Cloud some colors.
To dare treat Lu-er like so, how could it do to not let you taste the flavor of despair?
Right from the start, Ye Yuan never planned on dropping in to ask Empyrean Ice Cloud to release her.
That was the worst strategy.
He thought even less of snatching Lu-er with martial strength. Really pressing this Empyrean Ice Cloud into a corner, she might really hurt Lu-er.
Since the identity of an alchemist was useful, then what did bringing Jiu Luo Ji to its knees and compelling the Northernmost Step
pe to submit count for with his strength?
One had to know, he defeated the entire Southern Border's alchemy world with his power alone!
Ye Yuan's plan was to overpower her until she yielded, and he also wanted to make her send Lu-er over obediently!
"You! Bullying people too far!" When had Empyrean Ice Cloud suffered this kind of treatment before? She was angered until her middle-aged expression was icy-cold.
Empyrean Ice Cloud was still thinking of apologizing. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not give her the chance at all, directly cutting off Ice Cloud Tower's grain.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Bullying people too far? This is just you bringing trouble to yourself."
Empyrean Redfeather could not quite look on anymore and spoke up, "Master Ji, Younger Sister Ice Cloud she …"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yuan's expression turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "If anyone intercedes for her, don't come to Grand Pill Establishment to request for pills anymore in the future!"
The faces of all the Empyreans changed and they indeed did not dare to say anymore.
They had already witnessed Ye Yuan's strength. Although it could not directly increase their strength, it could make their factions much more powerful.
How could such a person be casually offended?
Even Empyrean Ice Cloud, this kind of hothead, was purely looking for abuse by opposing Ye Yuan.
Song Cao and the rest watched until they were quaking in their boots by the side. Good lord, their grandmaster was really domineering!
Empyrean Ice Cloud's c.h.e.s.t heaved up and down and she gritted her teeth and said, "Good, good, good! This Empyrean doesn't believe that in this Northernmost Steppe, there's just you, one alchemist!"
Finished talking, Empyrean Ice Cloud flicked her sleeves and left.
"Master, this …" Empyrean Loneswan also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually have such an intense reaction and did not even hesitate.
In this Northernmost Steppe, the Seven-star Alchemy Gods were not just him alone.
Hearing Empyrean Ice Cloud's meaning, she was clearly planning to find other assemble's Seven-star Alchemy Gods to cooperate.
