Chapter 1086: Quan Xingzi's Troubles

A single stone stirs a thousand ripples!

After taking the pill, in less than half an hour, Lu Wu's wife was completely healed!

He brought his wife to Tiansheng Square and expressed endless gratitude to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had to persuade them repeatedly before the couple finally left.

This time, many people could no longer remain calm.

The alchemists of the Alchemist Guild always looked down their noses at others; how could they be as approachable as Lord Qingyunzi?

More importantly, Lord Qingyunzi refined pills for free, and even provided the spiritual herbs himself!

Where else could one find such an opportunity?

"I've been planning to refine a ninth-grade pill, the Three Life Profound Gate Pill, and I finally gathered the spiritual herbs. But the price the Alchemist Guild's Pill Emperor asked was something I simply couldn't afford!"

"Same here! I just gathered the herbs for my Immortal Mushroom Soul Returning Pill, which drained my entire savings and nearly cost me my life. I have nothing left that those big shots in the Alchemist Guild would fancy!"

"Lord Qingyunzi is a peak Pill Emperor! For such a master to personally refine pills for us—this is an opportunity that comes once in ten thousand years! If we miss it, it's gone forever!"

Ye Yuan had said he would only refine pills of ninth grade and above, leaving the rest to his disciples and grand-disciples.

Lu Wu's pill had been refined by Gu Yue.

With Gu Yue, Xiao Ruyan, and Ren Dong handling things, ordinary pills were naturally no problem.

Once someone took the first step, how could the other Dao Profound realm experts remain calm?

It wasn't that these Dao Profound experts were stingy, but ninth-grade spiritual herbs were extremely costly.

Moreover, hiring an ordinary Pill Emperor often cost far more than the pill itself.

There was no help for it—alchemists were a rare breed, each one in high demand.

If you didn't seek them out, there were plenty of others lining up to ask them to refine pills.

When had there ever been a case like today, where pills were refined completely for free?

The crucial point was that Lord Qingyunzi was far superior to those arrogant fellows!

Finally, someone could no longer hold back.

A Dao Profound realm martial artist came before Ye Yuan, bowed respectfully, and said, "I wish to refine a Three Life Profound Gate Pill. May I ask you, sir, to refine it for me?"

Ye Yuan showed no arrogance and nodded, saying, "Bring out the spiritual herbs."

In just two hours, the Three Life Profound Gate Pill was finished—superior grade!

The Dao Profound martial artist held the superior-grade Three Life Profound Gate Pill, feeling as if he were dreaming.

If he had gone to the Alchemist Guild's Pill Emperor to refine a Three Life Profound Gate Pill, he would have gotten at most a mid-grade, or even a low-grade pill.

Because he couldn't afford the price to hire a high-level alchemist.

For an ordinary junior Pill Emperor to refine a ninth-grade pill and produce a mid-grade one was already considered good.

But now, he had obtained a superior-grade Three Life Profound Gate Pill!

"Thank you, Lord Qingyunzi! Thank you, Lord Qingyunzi!"

Holding the pill, he knelt directly.

For a Dao Profound realm expert to be so excited showed how important this pill was to him.

"A peak Pill Emperor is indeed a peak Pill Emperor—this alchemy skill is simply miraculous!"

"Yes, I've seen a senior Pill Emperor of the Alchemist Guild refine pills, and I was amazed at the time. But compared to Lord Qingyunzi, he's nothing!"

"And this is a ninth-grade pill, refined in two hours, and it's superior grade—what does that mean?"

If Lu Wu's case was just a trigger, then the Three Life Profound Gate Pill just now was like a bomb, instantly exploding in Tiansheng Square.

No one could resist the temptation of a superior-grade ninth-grade pill!

The Dao Profound experts swarmed forward, scrambling to have Ye Yuan refine pills for them.

At this point, they no longer cared about offending the Alchemist Guild!

Could the Alchemist Guild get a peak Pill Emperor to refine pills for them?

Would the Alchemist Guild refine pills for free?

No!

This situation was exactly what Ye Yuan had foreseen; this was the effect he wanted.

He didn't believe that those fellows in the Alchemist Guild could still sit still!

As an affiliate of the Holy City, the Alchemist Guild had amassed countless wealth for the Holy City, providing endless resources for the Holy City's martial artists to cultivate reserve forces.

By slapping the Alchemist Guild in the face, they would surely go to Yunxiao.

This was Ye Yuan's plan: if you won't come out, I'll force you out!

Ye Yuan's understanding of the divine path laws was deepening; now refining these ninth-grade pills was a piece of cake, taking hardly any time.

If he wished, he could even refine a large number of Tongxuan-grade pills.

Ye Yuan announced loudly, "Don't rush, one at a time. Those who need ninth-grade pills, line up here. Those who need pills below eighth grade, line up over there with the three of them. They are my disciples and grand-disciples, and their alchemy skills are decent, so rest assured. However, if anyone tries to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ao Qian and the other Void Profound experts released their auras, and the martial artists who were about to fight over positions immediately wilted.

With Ao Qian, Kuang Tianming, and Jiang Taicang present, order was quickly maintained.

Thus, Ye Yuan and the others began refining pills one by one in order.

...

"Smack!"

In the Alchemist Guild, Quan Xingzi smashed the cup in his hand to pieces.

"Too much! Too much! That brat Ji Qingyun is getting more and more lawless, actually blocking the Alchemist Guild's gate and using such underhanded tactics against us! He is challenging the entire alchemy world!" Quan Xingzi roared.

Quan Xingzi later learned that the young man he had tried to recruit was actually Ji Qingyun!

Even an old man like him, who was nearly in the coffin, felt his face burn at the time.

Before his rebirth, Ji Qingyun's skill had already surpassed that of an old-school peak Pill Emperor like himself.

Moreover, the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Guild had always been at odds, yet he had been foolish enough to try to recruit Ji Qingyun.

No wonder Ji Qingyun had been so arrogantly dismissive, leaving him almost unable to save face. Now he realized that Ji Qingyun had deliberately embarrassed him back then.

And now, this fellow had come right to his doorstep to slap him in the face!

One must know that hiring an alchemist to refine pills was very costly—that was the rule of the alchemy world.

Because training an alchemist required far more resources than training a martial artist.

Ye Yuan's free pill refining for martial artists was a violation of the rules; how could Quan Xingzi not be furious?

"But... Ji Qingyun is now alone, with no attachments. We have no way to deal with him! Unless..."

The speaker was Gu Daozi, one of the three peak Pill Emperors of the Alchemist Guild.

At this, he made a throat-slitting gesture, implying they should kill Ye Yuan.

Quan Xingzi, however, shook his head and said, "Do you think Ji Qingyun is so easy to deal with? Look at the people around him—there are several Void Profound realm martial artists! And Jing Fengtian is not here. Sigh... what a headache!"
