Chapter 1536: Bestowing a Name

Ye Yuan told them not to disturb him, not because he was afraid of being interrupted, but because his alchemy furnace was too shocking.

If news of him possessing a divine lord's mystic treasure leaked out, he would face relentless pursuit by divine lord-level experts.

In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, where divine lords were everywhere, Ye Yuan dared not be overconfident.

An hour later, fresh解毒丹 emerged from the furnace.

This was a解毒丹 developed by Ye Yuan himself, vastly different from the third-grade解毒丹 available on the market.

"Divine grade!" The boss's eyes gleamed as he saw the pill.

A third-grade divine-grade divine pill—not just anyone could refine such a thing!

That Wu Feng, known as the number one alchemist in the southern city, could at best refine a supreme-grade divine pill.

And even that required an incredible stroke of luck.

But this young man before them produced a divine-grade pill on his first try!

The boss drew a sharp breath, staring at Ye Yuan in awe.

However, he soon noticed a problem and asked doubtfully, "Master, what... what kind of pill is this?"

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "A解毒丹, what else could it be? Do you expect me to give him a cultivation-enhancing pill now? You don't want it? Give it back then."

The boss quickly withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "M-master, that's not what I meant. Master may not know, but the Red Fire Corrosion poison is extremely potent; ordinary解毒丹 can't neutralize it. Only a targeted antidote can cure it."

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes again, about to lose his temper, but the boss scurried over to the bedside and stuffed the pill into the second boss's mouth.

He had only questioned instinctively, after all, the power of the Red Fire Corrosion poison was quite notorious.

But he quickly realized his doubt was completely unfounded.

The master had already reconnected the heart meridian—how could his pill be fake?

And it was a divine-grade pill!

Sure enough, the second boss, whose face had been black, soon began to improve.

The pill's efficacy was astonishingly good.

"Such a powerful解毒丹! In... in no time at all, Second Brother's poison is gone?"

"Yes, even the specific antidote for Red Fire Corrosion doesn't work this fast!"

"What kind of解毒丹 is this? It's incredible! Compared to this, the解毒丹 on the market are just garbage!"

The brothers exclaimed in amazement, all shocked by Ye Yuan's解毒丹.

For gangs like theirs, living on the edge every day, injuries and poisonings were all too common.

With a pill like this, who would still fear poison?

"Thud!"

The second boss got up and knelt directly before Ye Yuan, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life. Zhu Yongtian will never forget this kindness!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Hey, don't thank me. I didn't treat you unconditionally."

With that, he looked at the boss and said, "Boss, don't forget our agreement!"

The boss was also forthright, nodding and saying, "I, Xing Guan, mean what I say. Since I agreed to Master Ye, I won't go back on my word! However... I have an impertinent request."

Ye Yuan was unconcerned and said lightly, "Let's hear it."

The boss said, "I heard that Master Ye has just arrived in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Do you have a place to stay?"

Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, "A place... I do have one, but it seems I can't get in right now."

These past few days, he had asked A Si to arrange it, but it seemed it couldn't be resolved quickly.

Entering the inner city appeared to be more difficult than he had imagined.

Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was sharply divided; the inner and outer cities were like two different worlds.

The inner city was where the elite of the imperial city resided.

The boss said, "In that case, Master Ye needs a place to settle down. Why not... join our... gang? Rest assured, Master, all your expenses will be covered by us!"

Ye Yuan looked at Xing Guan with a half-smile and said, "You'll cover them? Do you know how many divine essence stones it takes to support a three-star divine pill master?"

The boss's expression stiffened, and he looked embarrassed.

He had only tried on a whim, and indeed it didn't work!

Master Ye's skill far surpassed Wu Feng's—how could he possibly be interested in the Dragon-Slaying Gang?

Alchemists were wealthy, but they also burned through money.

If they could afford to support one, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?

Only deeply established families like the three great clans could afford to support an alchemist.

Although their three gangs were among the six major powers, they were still far behind the three great clans.

The streets managed by the three gangs were all the back alleys that the three great clans looked down upon.

The truly prosperous areas were all in the hands of the three great clans.

The boss said awkwardly, "This... I was too rash. I hope Master Ye won't take offense."

Ye Yuan knew exactly what Xing Guan was thinking. Having offended Wu Feng this time, they feared his retaliation and hoped Ye Yuan would stay.

Wu Feng, known as the number one alchemist in the southern city, naturally had great influence.

If Ye Yuan hadn't cured the second boss, Xing Guan and the others could have apologized and offered some divine essence stones to smooth things over.

But since Ye Yuan had cured the second boss, Wu Feng, to save face, would spare no effort in suppressing the Dragon-Slaying Gang.

Then their situation would become very awkward.

Someone like Wu Feng was someone every party wanted to win over.

So the Dragon-Slaying Gang's current situation was very grim.

Now, Xing Guan couldn't muster even a hint of a half-step divine lord's demeanor before Ye Yuan.

Alchemists were just that awesome.

Even if your cultivation level was lower, you dared not offend them.

Especially now, Ye Yuan was the Dragon-Slaying Gang's only hope.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to stay. But... I won't get involved in your gang disputes. Also, prepare a shop for me."

Xing Guan's body trembled, and he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

The other brothers were equally stunned, staring at Ye Yuan with incredulous eyes.

He... he agreed just like that?

They had already been in despair, but Ye Yuan made a complete turnaround and actually agreed!

Immediately, their faces lit up with ecstasy.

"Haha, no problem! Whatever you need, Master Ye, just say the word! Oh, right, since Master asked us to change the name, why not... bestow a name upon us?" Xing Guan said joyfully.

Ye Yuan had his reasons for agreeing to Xing Guan.

He had found that entering the inner city was indeed very difficult.

That A Si probably couldn't be counted on.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was likely one of the top powers in the inner city.

A small fry like A Si couldn't possibly reach that level.

Under the circumstances, it was better to find a place to settle down first.

Although the Dragon-Slaying Gang were butchers, they were quite loyal and trustworthy, which gave Ye Yuan a good impression.

Since he couldn't enter the inner city, he would let the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion come to him.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "A thunderclap rises from flat ground—how about... calling it the Thunderclap Gang?"
