Chapter 1539: Gale Windstone Pill

"Simple? You say the Midnight Heart Pill is simple? Ha... ha! What arrogance!"

Ning Siyu was speechless. She really didn't know where Ye Yuan got the confidence to be so arrogant.

The Midnight Heart Pill was a third-rank mid-grade divine pill, and one of the most difficult to refine among them.

Ning Siyu was extremely talented. Despite her youth, she was already a three-star mid-grade divine alchemist.

The Midnight Heart Pill was precisely the pill she had been unable to master for a long time.

The difficulty of refining this pill was immense. Even her master could only occasionally produce a top-grade one.

And mind you, her master was a four-star divine alchemist!

This cocky kid before her was so arrogant.

Ye Yuan glanced at Ning Siyu and said with a smile, "The cost to refine the Midnight Heart Pill is two million divine spirit stones. Do you have that?"

Ning Siyu's eyes widened, and she said indignantly, "Don't look down on me! It's just two million divine spirit stones? I, this gentleman, have nothing left but divine spirit stones!"

Ye Yuan chuckled, "Alright, wait here."

With that, Ye Yuan turned and went into the inner hall.

Although an hour had passed, no one had left; instead, the crowd seemed to be growing.

The gimmick of "Ask and You Shall Receive" was indeed quite appealing.

Everyone wanted to see whether this unusually young alchemist truly had skill or was just a fraud.

But most were skeptical of Ye Yuan. Such a young alchemist, even if he were a three-star divine alchemist, couldn't be that skilled.

Since Ning Siyu came to cause trouble, the pill formula she offered was certainly not something common.

An ordinary alchemist probably couldn't refine it.

Just then, Ye Yuan sauntered out of the inner hall.

Seeing Ye Yuan return so quickly, Ning Siyu's face lit up with a smug smile.

"Kid, can't refine it, can you? Did you... ruin all my herbs? Heh, a pill of the Midnight Heart Pill's level—how could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry refine it?" Ning Siyu said triumphantly.

Even her master would take half a day to refine the Midnight Heart Pill.

Refine it in an hour?

That thought never crossed Ning Siyu's mind!

"This kid is all bark and no bite! 'Ask and You Shall Receive'—what a joke!"

"Exactly! Where did the Dragon Slaying Gang find this kid? Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

"I've heard of the Midnight Heart Pill. It's a very difficult third-rank mid-grade divine pill. This kid's still wet behind the ears—can he really refine it?"

"Come on, let's smash the sign together! He's just messing with us!"

...

Ning Siyu perked up at this and said smugly, "Now I'm smashing the sign, you have no objections, right? Oh, and you'll have to compensate me for my herbs—fifty thousand divine spirit stones!"

With that, Ning Siyu moved to smash the sign.

Just as Ning Siyu leaped into the air, Ye Yuan pulled her back down. She fumed, "You little brat, are you asking for death?"

Ye Yuan ignored her and extended his hand, saying, "Hand it over."

Ning Siyu was taken aback. "Hand what over?"

Ye Yuan said, "Two million divine spirit stones!"

Ning Siyu exploded, roaring, "You didn't even refine the pill, and you still want divine spirit stones from me? You... you're not just a swindler—this is a robbery!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Who told you I didn't refine it?"

Ning Siyu sneered, "Give it up! You refined the Midnight Heart Pill in an hour? If you did, I'll eat my alchemy furnace!"

Ye Yuan took out a small jade box. When he opened it, a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly spread.

Ning Siyu's smile froze on her face as she stared in disbelief at the crimson pill.

"Th-this is impossible! A... a divine-grade Midnight Heart Pill? Where... where did you get this?"

Ning Siyu was like a startled rabbit, at a loss.

Even her master couldn't refine a top-grade Midnight Heart Pill, let alone a divine-grade one.

And this kid had produced a divine-grade pill!

"Th-this really is a divine-grade pill!"

"Am I seeing things? A three-star divine alchemist refined a third-rank divine-grade pill?"

"The Midnight Heart Pill is no ordinary pill. He could actually refine a divine-grade one? This... this is too fake!"

...

The onlookers were stunned. Divine-grade pills were extremely rare and beyond their means.

But now, this young man had produced a divine-grade divine pill!

Ning Siyu reached out to take the pill, but Ye Yuan pulled his hand back, and she grabbed nothing.

"If you want the pill, pay up!" Ye Yuan said flatly.

Ning Siyu pouted, tossed a storage ring to Ye Yuan, and snatched the jade box, saying, "Take it! Look at you, such a money-grubber! Hmph!"

Examining the Midnight Heart Pill closely, it was indeed divine-grade!

The pill was still warm, clearly just out of the furnace.

Had... this kid really refined it?

Ning Siyu's mind was in turmoil. She knew all too well the difficulty of the Midnight Heart Pill!

She had been trying to refine it for years but had never succeeded.

Yet this kid had done it in an hour!

This... I don't believe it!

"I don't believe it! You... you must have cheated!" Ning Siyu suddenly said.

Xiao Huan was also shocked, but she couldn't stand Ning Siyu's sophistry any longer.

"Young master..."

"Shut up!" Ning Siyu yelled at Xiao Huan, then turned to Ye Yuan. "Kid, there's definitely something fishy here! I don't believe you can refine a divine-grade Midnight Heart Pill!"

Ye Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, our transaction is complete."

So infuriating!

Can't you be less cocky?

"Kid, I want another pill! If you can refine this one too, then I'll believe you really deliver on 'Ask and You Shall Receive'! Otherwise... I'll still smash your sign!" Ning Siyu said.

Ye Yuan was amused. "As long as there's business, I welcome it."

A cold smile flashed across Ning Siyu's lips. "This is the formula and herbs for the Gale Windstone Pill. If you can refine it, I'll leave immediately!"

"Whoa... the Gale Windstone Pill! Who is this kid to have that formula?"

"The Gale Windstone Pill is said to help martial artists comprehend the law of wind. It's incredibly mysterious! This pill isn't available on the market at all!"

"This pill is notoriously difficult to refine. I've heard even four-star divine alchemists struggle with it!"

"Heh, this young man... is in trouble now!"

...

Ye Yuan took the formula and glanced through it. A smile flickered at the corner of his mouth. "Interesting!"

Ning Siyu sneered, "Do you dare to take it?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Why not? But this pill won't come cheap!"

Ning Siyu snorted, "If you can really refine it, money is no problem!"

Ye Yuan nodded, "Alright, eight million divine spirit stones!"
