Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Questioning

"Our sect will provide the supply of spirit materials; all you need to do is give our sect the corresponding amount of elixirs each month."

Ye Xuan said calmly, "If you agree, I can immediately start refining the elixirs you desire."

"It’s a deal!"

They were still hesitating when they heard the first part of the sentence, but upon hearing the second part, they made up their minds and nodded in agreement.

"Old Wu, make a trip to the Alchemy Hall." Ye Xuan stood up and snapped his fingers.

"Eh, okay!" Wu Jingshan was stunned for a moment but then agreed promptly.

"Does this mean we are going to meet the master?" Hua Feng, Liao Yue, and Master Dan Yuan were all delighted.

"Shall we go too?" Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei said.

"You guys aren’t seeking medicine," Ye Xuan glanced at them and spoke indifferently.

This caused a bit of embarrassment for the two of them, but they said no more.

Thus, under the lead of Wu Jingshan, Ye Xuan, Elder Hua Feng, Liao Yue, and Master Dan Yuan, a party of five set out for the Alchemy Hall.

Jiang Jing and the others also wished to witness Ye Xuan practicing alchemy, but knowing that alchemists generally dislike being disturbed, they did not follow.

"Elder Jiang, does our sect truly have a master who can refine top-grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pills?" Nie Shan still couldn’t bring himself to believe it and couldn’t help but ask aloud.

"Of course," Jiang Jing nodded slightly without going into details.

Seeing this, Nie Shan could only fall silent, but his heart was shaken beyond measure.

The Emperor Immortal Sect truly was extraordinary.

Their ancient ancestors had nothing to worry about, yet they still hid such a master alchemist, deep in plots...

Alchemy Hall.

Many alchemists were busy, as the increase in the Medicine Field made their work ever more demanding.

However, today, while many alchemists were busy, they still found time to gossip.

"I heard that three master alchemists are visiting Master Wu; they might come to the Alchemy Hall later."

"Which three master alchemists?"

"Elder Hua Feng, Master Dan Yuan, and Master Liao Yue from the Dan Yun Sect."

"Wow, they are all significant figures in the alchemy world!"

"No wonder Master Wu, from the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, has such a wide network."

"Isn’t Master Wu not fond of making friends?" someone murmured.

But nobody paid much attention to it.

Soon, the group of five, including Ye Xuan, arrived at the Alchemy Hall.

To avoid any trouble, Wu Jingshan directly led Ye Xuan and the four others straight to the Alchemy Room.

"Could it be that the master is practicing alchemy?" Elder Hua Feng and the others murmured to themselves, anticipation growing in their hearts.

What sort of master could it be?

Little did they know that the master they were eagerly thinking about was the black-robed youth walking in front of them.

"Young Master Ye, what kind of temperament does the master have?" Liao Yue couldn’t help asking softly.

"I have a very good temper," Ye Xuan answered blandly.

These guys really wouldn’t believe it until they saw him practicing alchemy.

"You must be joking, young brother," Liao Yue choked on his own words.

Master Dan Yuan, on the other hand, was particularly displeased with Ye Xuan.

From start to finish, Ye Xuan’s attitude had irked him.

After all, the real master was not you, so why all this arrogance?

Had it not been for the face of that master, he would have already left with a flick of his sleeves.

For that reason, he preferred to remain silent.

"Actually, the master you’re looking for is indeed our teacher," Wu Jingshan suddenly said, leading the way.

"Young Master Ye is truly promising," Elder Hua Feng laughed it off.

They did not believe Wu Jingshan’s words.

Nevertheless, they followed along with the remark, flattering Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan walked with his hands in his pockets, unhurried and unmoved by the flattery.

Soon, the group arrived at an Alchemy Room.

"This is the Alchemy Room that I usually use," Wu Jingshan stated.

They looked around and were somewhat baffled.

"Brother Wu, weren’t we going to see the master? Why have we come to your Alchemy Room?" Elder Hua Feng asked with a puzzled look.

There’s not a soul in this room.

"Ye Xuan..." Liao Yue was also looking at Ye Xuan, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Xuan, with his hands in his pockets, stood in front of the Alchemy Furnace, giving the three a sidelong glance, "Didn’t you come to me asking for elixirs? Speak, what do you want?"

All three were completely baffled.

"Elder Hua Feng." Wu Jingshan let out a soft call, giving him a meaningful look.

All three collected their thoughts, looking at Ye Xuan strangely.

After seeing that look from Wu Jingshan, Elder Hua Feng gritted his teeth, took the initiative to hand over his Storage Ring to Ye Xuan, and spoke respectfully, "I implore Ye Xuan’s assistance; this old man would like a Primordial Yang Pill of Top Grade Seven Transformation Spirit Pill quality or higher."

Ye Xuan gently raised his hand, and the Storage Ring automatically flew into his grasp. He didn’t look at it but turned his gaze towards Liao Yue and Master Dan Yuan, speaking slowly, "And what about you two?"

Upon seeing this, Liao Yue clenched his teeth and produced a Storage Ring, saying respectfully, "I require a Heavenly Star Pill, of Top Grade Six Transformation Spirit Pill quality or higher."

Ye Xuan took the Storage Ring and looked towards Master Dan Yuan.

Master Dan Yuan’s expression changed for a moment, then after a brief pause, he said, "Why don’t you start refining first?"

"You don’t need one then?" Ye Xuan’s eyebrows rose slightly, with a hint of displeasure.

If you don’t believe in me, why come here at all?

Liao Yue and Elder Hua Feng also turned their eyes towards Master Dan Yuan, their gazes uncertain.

Master Dan Yuan clearly didn’t believe in Ye Xuan, and his disbelief was now fully apparent.

Seeking an elixir from him was going to be difficult.

At least Liao Yue and Elder Hua Feng had seen Ye Xuan before. It was Master Dan Yuan’s first time meeting him, so his skepticism was understandable.

In fact, both Liao Yue and Elder Hua Feng didn’t believe either, but they knew that behind Ye Xuan there really was such a master. That’s why they chose to hand over the prepared spiritual materials to Ye Xuan.

Master Dan Yuan, however, clearly harbored doubts.

"I’ll give mine after you have completed the refinement," Master Dan Yuan spoke softly.

"Then you needn’t bother refining," Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, without insisting.

If you don’t believe, then I can’t be bothered refining for you.

After all, as long as either Elder Hua Feng or Liao Yue agreed, the supply of elixirs for Emperor Immortal Sect would be secured. Now that both had agreed, one less Master Dan Yuan wouldn’t have any impact on the situation.

Ye Xuan’s words, however, made Master Dan Yuan’s face look somewhat unpleasant. He said in a deep voice, "I have visited your sect’s master with all sincerity, isn’t young friend speaking a bit too rudely..."

"I asked you what pill you wanted to refine, and you wouldn’t say, and you call that sincerity?" Ye Xuan felt somewhat amused.

"Young friend clearly means that you yourself will open the furnace to refine, not that master, which is clearly different from what was said before," Master Dan Yuan stated seriously.

"How many times must I say, I am that master," Ye Xuan looked at Master Dan Yuan as if he was looking at an idiot.

However, upon hearing this, Master Dan Yuan laughed, saluted with his hands and said, "I didn’t mean any offense, but of the alchemists I have seen, if not ten thousand, there have been nine thousand. At young friend’s age, being a Fourth Cauldron Alchemist would already be reaching the heavens. And yet you claim you are a master capable of crafting a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill?"

"Forgive my bluntness, you are somewhat too arrogant," Master Dan Yuan said gently, a trace of scorn surfacing in the depths of his eyes.

Even though Master Dan Yuan seemed affable and approachable, in reality, he was an arrogant person.

Ye Xuan’s attitude really annoyed him, and now was a good opportunity to express it.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice; the well frog cannot speak of the sea," Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, unwilling to lower himself to argue with the man.

A mere Seventh Cauldron Alchemist, nothing more than a frog in a well, he didn’t know where he got the confidence to bluster in front of him.

"Are you implying that my experience is shallow?" Master Dan Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze turning unfriendly.

"Seems you’re not too foolish after all," Ye Xuan said with an indifferent smile.

Master Dan Yuan’s face immediately darkened, his fists clenching inside his sleeves, but he did not dare to lash out, saying firmly, "Then I do indeed want to see how young friend manages to complete the elixirs for Brother Hua and Elder Liao!"

"So be it, today I shall let this frog at the bottom of the well witness for himself," Ye Xuan smiled.

"Oh dear," Wu Jingshan couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Without even having to think about it, he knew Master Dan Yuan wouldn’t get Ye Xuan to refine any pills for him now.

Others might not be aware, but he knew that the previous Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill had actually been refined by Ye Xuan.

With these words, Master Dan Yuan was undoubtedly sealing his own fate!

"Let’s all calm down," Elder Hua Feng laughed it off.

Liao Yue gave Master Dan Yuan a strange look but didn’t speak.

Although he didn’t believe Ye Xuan could refine as he claimed, he certainly wouldn’t exhibit the arrogance of Master Dan Yuan. Having already come this far, displaying that attitude was just making things difficult for himself, wasn’t it?

"Start the furnace."

Ye Xuan didn’t pay attention to the rest, speaking in a tranquil manner.

"Alright!" Wu Jingshan flipped his sword finger, and the Pill Furnace suddenly opened.

What followed was a moment that left Elder Hua Feng, Liao Yue, and Master Dan Yuan with their jaws agape.

Ye Xuan simply tossed all the spiritual materials provided by Elder Hua Feng and Liao Yue into the Pill Furnace at once.
