Another person, a Six-star genius, said, “Grandmaster Ye, my Hai Family has a deep relationship with Empyrean Pilljade. As long as you’re willing to accept me as a disciple, my Hai Family will definitely put in a few good words in front of Empyrean Pilljade!”
In their view, all of them were now Ye Yuan’s protective talismans.
No matter how proud Ye Yuan was, did he still dare to not take them in as disciples?
His best way out right now was to be everyone’s master.
Ye Yuan looked at Luo Tianqi with a smile that was not a smile and said, “You’re called Luo Tianqi?”
Luo Tianqi clasped his hands and said, “Yes, Grandmaster Ye.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, “You can get lost!”
Chapter 2056. Surprising Choice |
Luo Tianqi looked at Ye Yuan with a disbelieving face. He was even thinking that he heard it wrongly.
At this juncture, Ye Yuan actually still made him get lost?
It was not just Luo Tianqi. The rest also looked at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.
“Grandmaster Ye, I think that you haven’t had a clear understanding of the current situation. Once the Myriad Treasure Tower is defeated, do you feel that you can still be leisurely and carefree in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still? Without the Myriad Treasure Tower’s protection, Empyrean Pilljade they all will likely be the first to target you!” Luo Tianqi said with a cold smile.
He felt that there was a need to analyze the current situation for Ye Yuan. Otherwise, Ye Yuan might feel that he was still that high and mighty grandmaster.
Ye Yuan looked at Luo Tianqi and said calmly, “You said too much crap! I asked you to get lost, didn’t you hear me?”
Luo Tianqi laughed due to extreme fury and said, “Good! Good! That day when you become a bereaved dog, I want to see what you have to be this arrogant! At that time, don’t you regret it!”
Finished talking, Luo Tianqi turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Ye Yuan suddenly yelled.
Luo Tianqi’s footsteps paused. Turning around to look at Ye Yuan, he smiled coldly and said, “What? Regretting it? It’s already too late to regret now!”
Ye Yuan had a lazy appearance as he said coolly, “I asked you to roll[1]. Didn’t you hear me?”
Luo Tianqi’s face changed and he said in a solemn voice, “You! You dare to humiliate me? I, Luo Tianqi, am a member of the Luo Family! Do you want to wage war with my Luo Family?”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned cold, a terrifying pressure crushed over towards Luo Tianqi.
Bang!
Without the slightest strength to resist, Luo Tianqi was directly pressed firmly onto the ground by Ye Yuan’s pressure.
By the side, the pupils of Yun Yi and the rest of the True God Realm martial artists shrunk, looking at this scene with aghast.
There was nothing to say about Ye Yuan’s alchemy talent; they prostrated on all fours in admiration.
But they never would have thought that Ye Yuan’s Martial Dao was actually so strong too.
Although Luo Tianqi was True God Realm, pressing the other party on the ground, able to move just based on pressure, they could not do it.
Ye Yuan did not have an overbearing personality. So if they did not want to acknowledge him as their master, then just leave.
But this Luo Tianqi was too arrogant, using whatever Luo Family to pressure him at the drop of a hat. Did Luo Tianqi really take him to be easy to bully?
Even if Ye Yuan was made out of clay, he would have some anger too.
“Whatever you’re unhappy about, say however you like behind my back. But saying it in front of me, you’re in the wrong. Starting from now, until you roll out of Heavenly Eagle, as long as let me hear one more superfluous word, you don’t need to leave anymore. Don’t doubt whether I dare or not. You can very well give it a try,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Done talking, Ye Yuan withdrew his aura. Luo Tianqi felt like a giant mountain moved away from his body.
But no matter how arrogant he was, he also did not dare to bet with his life. He could only keep silent and say nothing. He started rolling on the ground, rolling out of the city little by little.
“Tianping, you send him out of the city. If he still dares to talk nonsense, directly kill him!” Ye Yuan instructed the Ning Tianping beside him.
Ning Tianping chuckled and said, “Yes, Your Excellency!”
Ning Tianping looked toward Luo Tianqi and did not have the slightest sympathy.
To dare posture in front of His Excellency, one needed to be prepared to have their face slapped by His Excellency.
This guy did not even figure out the situation and dare to posture. He truly did not know what he was talking about.
His Excellency even dared to throw hands at Empyrean Pilljade; could he be what you, a puny little Luo Family’s Celestial Deity Realm, can blaspheme?
Your family’s ancestor coming was more like it!
The others were all silent like cicadas in winter. How could they still dare to posture in front of Ye Yuan?
At this time, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth again and said, “I know that you guys feel that Heavenly Eagle is near destruction and feel that I should take you all as disciples to preserve myself. However … you’re thinking too much! Back then, I said it very clearly at the Cloudpill Summit. If you want to acknowledge me as your master, you have to undergo repeated trials. I gave you all the chance, but it was you who didn’t cherish it yourselves. Hence, Yun Yi and Yang Xuan stay behind. The others can all scram!”
Yun Yi’s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise.
Duan Yunfei similarly had a look of disbelief as he said, “Grandmaster Ye, are you mistaken? Yun Yi is Empyrean Pilljade’s descendant. You’re actually going to take him in as disciple?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “What does that matter? A battle is a battle; accepting disciples is accepting disciples. These are two different matters to begin with. It’s you all who wanted to lump them together yourselves. I said it before, I first look at one’s character when taking in a disciple, look at disposition second, and third is talent. If Yun Yi was the same as you all, then even if his talent is higher than the heavens, I’ll also make him get lost. But he’s more of an alchemist compared to you all. His future accomplishments will also be what you all can only look up to.”
Yun Yi’s entire body trembled and actually wept from extreme joy.
When he heard that the Myriad Treasure Tower was breaking away from the Southern Border Alliance, Yun Yi already despaired.
He knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to take him in as a disciple.
Who would take the descendant of their enemy as a disciple?
But he never imagined that Ye Yuan gave him a huge surprise.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Yun Yi kowtowed three times in a row to Ye Yuan and said while shedding tears of gratitude: “Master Ye, Yun Yi will follow you in this lifetime and will never change until death!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “You could lay down your noble status and come to the Pill Tower to be a little medicine boy. Ten years of persistence is sufficient to see your sincere heart toward alchemy. Other people all said that I wouldn’t accept you. Yet, I’m going to make the world see that his, Pilljade’s, descendant, will definitely surpass his predecessor!”
Yun Yi had a resolute face as he said, “Yes! Yun Yi definitely won’t let Master Ye down!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and turned to Yang Xuan and said, “Yang Xuan, from today onward, you’re the fourth disciple under me, Ye Yuan. Come, pay respects to your senior apprentice brother and sister.”
Beside Ye Yuan stood Bai Chen and Ning Siyu.
Ever since entering the Heavenspan World, he only took Bai Chen, one disciple. Ning Siyu was the second.
Yang Xuan had a look of agitation and knelt down toward Ye Yuan. Following that, he bowed to Bai Chen, Ning
Siyu, and Yun Yi.
No one could have thought that the two disciples which Ye Yuan accepted in the end would be the Cloudpill Summit’s first place and first place from the bottom.
Yun Yi’s identity was special, so no one thought that Ye Yuan would take him in.
Yang Xuan was even more unremarkable and did not even have any background.
Yet, these two people entered Ye Yuan’s doorway in the end.
Duan Yunfei and the rest looked at this scene, with their faces full of envy.
With Ye Yuan’s guidance, these two people attaining a higher level in alchemy in the future was highly probable.
But they missed this opportunity.
It was just that in this world, there was no regret medicine that could be eaten.
What Ye Yuan said was right. He already gave them the chance, but it was they themselves who did not cherish it.
The Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border Alliance’s battle would probably last for ten years, or even as long as several decades no matter how fast it was.
And this period of time was sufficient for Ye Yuan to teach them many things.
Even though no one thought that the Myriad Treasure Tower would win, they were still very envious.
“Alright, you all can go now,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
The expressions of Duan Yunfei and the rest changed, finally still leaving unwillingly.
They did not dare to disobey Ye Yuan. Luo Tianqi was the best example if they disobeyed him.
After everyone left, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said coolly, “The two of you cultivated for ten years.Aare there any harvests?”
Yun Yi bowed in salute and said, “Replying Master, Yun Yi benefited a great deal! Those people capitalized on that they were noble and turned their noses up at this training. But they didn’t know that Master was actually teaching us!”
[1] get lost/roll has the same word.
Chapter 2057. What's Hard to Say? |
Ye Yuan looked at Yun Yi, his eyes revealing a trace of appreciation.
Someone who was not a “fool’ or ‘crazy’ could not see through his intent at all.
Those so-called geniuses were shortsighted and only saw the benefits in front of them. Their achievements in alchemy would definitely be limited.
They proudly said they were smart, but in reality, they were unbelievably dumb.
Only ‘fools’ and ‘lunatics’ in those people’s eyes had a heart that genuinely yearned for the Dao.
Did those people think that talent could resolve everything?
This was the dumbest notion!
Without endless hard work, without great willpower, great resolve, why would the door of Great Dao open to you?
“I only have hard work and foundation, these two words, when I teach disciples. You need to bear it in mind,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Yun Yi two people became solemn and hurriedly said, “Yes, Master. Disciple will bear it in mind.”
How could Ye Yuan not tell what the two people were thinking in their hearts? He said, “What shortcuts are there to take on the path of the Dao? If you ask Master how to achieve the Dao, Master can only tell you that the Dao is under your feet! Being down-to-earth is the Dao! You guys saw Siyu radiated with splendor during the Cloudpill Summit, but you don’t know how much hardships and effort she put in at the back. Therefore, if you want to learn whatever pinnacle Alchemy Dao from me, you can leave right now. I have nothing to teach you.”
The two people’s faces changed, repeatedly saying that they dare not.
But the shock in their hearts could not use words to describe at all.
They were unable to imagine Senior Apprentice Sister Siyu’s efforts. Then how much was sunk in behind Master’s glory?
“Master, Disciple understands! From today onward, Disciple will lay down all pride and follow by Master’s side.”
Yun Yi was not trying to calm Ye Yuan down. Those words made him have a feeling of being enlightened all at once.
And these ten years of bitter cultivation also made him more able to understand the meaning behind Master’s words.
Since that was the case, start over from the bottom then.
“It’s just … Master, you and Empyrean Flutterfeather withdrawing from the Southern Border Alliance this time, is it really fine?” Yun Yi said worriedly.
He was not taking Ye Yuan’s side, but Yun Yi was very conflicted currently.
After all, one was his great-grandfather, and the other was his master.
Whichever getting hurt was not what he wished to see.
Ning Siyu smiled when she heard that and said, “You guys are also looking down on Master too much! You’ll understand his means very soon!”
…
Three months passed in a twinkle!
On this day early morning, a group of shopkeepers gathered at Cloudpill Establishment once more.
Ding Xiao said in high and vigorous spirits, “Gentlemen, we didn’t fail to live up to expectations. These three months, we fought an extremely beautiful war! At present, we’ve already controlled more than 70% of this Longwind Great Imperial Capital’s market! Reaching this step presently, no matter how capable Chou Tianyu is, he’s also powerless to turn the tables!”
“Hahaha! I can finally report on the fulfillment of the mission! Maybe we don’t need ten years and the Myriad Treasure Tower will be thoroughly defeated by us,” Shopkeeper Lin said with a big laugh.
Another shopkeeper said with a laugh, “Heh heh, that is inevitable. No matter how strong the Myriad Treasure Tower is, no matter how strong Empyrean Flutterfeather is, no matter how strong Ye Yuan is, it’s also impossible to be the entire Southern Border Alliance’s match! The resources in our hands, apart from those reclusive forces, we occupy more than 50% of the Southern Border. If we lose like this, then we can find a piece of tofu to kill ourselves!”
Ding Xiao nodded his head and said, “According to the news that I grasp, the most elite alchemists of the entire Southern Border have already been gathered at the back, refining medicinal pills without ceasing. These medicinal pills will be provided to us in an endless stream. We’ll be able to extend out to the various imperial capitals with Longwind Great Imperial Capital as our foundation very soon.”
When the group of shopkeepers heard, they could not help being greatly roused.
Controlling 70% of the market, it was also no wonder that these shopkeepers were all fired up with boundless enthusiasm.
The major and minor factions present were likely no fewer than 40 to 50 in total.
This virtually represented the entire Southern Border’s pinnacle factions. Defeat, this sort of term, would not appear in their dictionaries at all.
Even if Ye Yuan had some trump cards in his hands, in their view, it was merely eking out a meager existence and delaying the time of the Myriad Treasure Tower’s defeat by a little.
“Oh, right! Didn’t Chou Tianyu say that they were going to raise prices? Haha, I want to see who will still go to the Myriad Treasure Tower to buy medicinal pills after raising prices!” Shopkeeper Lin suddenly thought of something and said with a big laugh.
“Things are bad! Things are bad!”
Shopkeeper Lin’s voice had yet to fade when a manservant directly rushed into the hall and said in a great panic.
Ding Xiao snorted coldly and berated, “What is it? Making such a big fuss over nothing, where’s the sense of propriety?”
How could the manservant still care about being punished? Pointing at the opposite, he said, “Shopkeeper Ding, things are bad! The Myriad Treasure Tower opposite is already almost packed until it’s bursting! Those martial artists have all gone crazy, desperately fighting to purchase their medicinal pills. The martial artists that were originally here at our side have all ran over to their side now.”
“What did you say?”
Ding Xiao’s eyes went wide, somewhat doubting if his ears heard wrongly or not.
Why would those martial artists
run to the Myriad Treasure Tower opposite?
The other shopkeeper’s faces were full of a disbelieving expression.
Their notion at this time was unusually unanimous, that was that this manservant was lying!
“The Myriad Treasure Tower raised prices on all medicinal pills today. So why would martial artists go and fight to buy their medicinal pills at their place? What nonsense are you talking about?” Ding Xiao said in a cold voice.
Although he knew that this manservant did not dare to lie to him, he was still unable to believe it.
That manservant had a bitter face as he said, “Shopkeeper Ding, even if you lend this lowly one a gall, this lowly one also wouldn’t dare to talk rubbish!”
Ding Xiao frowned and said, “Go! Let’s hurry up and go take a look!”
As he said this, he took the lead and went down the building.
When he just arrived in the audience hall, Ding Xiao was stopped by a few people. He hurriedly switched to a smiling face and went up to greet.
These few were all their Cloudpill Establishment’s major clients and could not be offended.
“Haha, Family Head Su, Family Head Ren, what wind blew you guys here?” Ding Xiao cupped his fists and said smilingly.
These two people were precisely two of Longwind Great Imperial Capital’s five major families, the family heads of the Su Family and Ren Family.
These few months, Ding Xiao expended a Herculean effort and unleashed all of his abilities before prying them over from the Myriad Treasure Tower’s hands.
Presently, these two major families’ medicinal pills were all provided by their Cloudpill Establishment.
Family Head Su smiled and said, “This Su coming today together with Younger Brother Ren is because there’s something that we want to request Shopkeeper Ding to help us with.”
Ding Xiao hurriedly smiled and said, “Easily arranged! You two are this Ding’s financiers, I’ll naturally offer my services! Is it that the medicinal pills aren’t enough to use recently? No problem, I’ll have servants send a batch of medicinal pills over right away.”
