Chapter 2030 The Truth Is More Terrifying Than the Rumors

Everyone's shock was written all over their faces!

Compared to wood and fire attributes, the thunder attribute was more violent and restless. Why had it ultimately been successfully integrated?

This was Zheng Qiyuan's doubt, and also the doubt in everyone's heart.

All the venerables looked at Ye Yuan with shock and confusion.

"Master Ye, it really worked! It actually worked! I studied this Seven Treasures Cloud Wind Pill for centuries without achieving anything, yet you managed to complete the formula in just two days. Truly a divine man!"

Venerable Liuming looked at Ye Yuan with excitement and disbelief.

Before this, like everyone else, he had doubted whether Ye Yuan was qualified to sit and discuss the Dao with them here.

But he knew Venerable Piaoyu well and felt that Piaoyu wouldn't do something so unreliable.

So, he chose to believe.

Yet he never expected that this mere six-star divine alchemist would be so monstrous, completing the formula for the Seven Treasures Cloud Wind Pill in such a short time.

With this alone, Ye Yuan's insight in the Dao of alchemy had already surpassed all the seven-star divine alchemists present!

Ye Yuan smiled and looked at Zheng Qiyuan, saying, "Brother Zheng, may I ask if I am now qualified to stand here and discuss the Dao with everyone? Am I qualified to dismiss the provocation of your junior? Am I qualified to take this Master Token?"

A series of three questions struck Zheng Qiyuan's heart like heavy hammers.

Of course, the other venerables were also being interrogated in their hearts.

Before this, not a single one of them had believed in Ye Yuan.

But now, Ye Yuan had used his own strength to give them all a resounding slap in the face.

Zheng Qiyuan's expression was extremely grim.

He could not answer Ye Yuan's质问.

Qualified?

Of course he was qualified!

This profound ancient formula had been completed by Ye Yuan in just two days.

Could he do it?

Not to mention him, even the dozen or so seven-star divine alchemists combined had discussed for over a month and only come up with a wrong spiritual herb.

"I... I don't accept it! How could the thunder attribute be integrated into a wind-attribute pill? What role could it play?" Zheng Qiyuan gritted his teeth.

Ye Yuan responded with a cold smile, saying, "The attributes of spiritual herbs are never singular. Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit is indeed a thunder-attribute spiritual herb, but it also contains a not-weak wind-attribute law, which perfectly matches the other herbs of the Seven Treasures Cloud Wind Pill! As for why Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit? It's simple—among these auxiliary herbs, over a dozen are meant to neutralize the thunder attribute and other attributes of the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit! Now, do you understand?"

Zheng Qiyuan's pupils contracted as he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

This fellow's understanding of spiritual herb attributes was so profound.

That spiritual herbs are not of a single attribute is common knowledge for a divine alchemist.

But knowing the specific attributes of a herb requires a very deep understanding of its medicinal properties.

Moreover, although spiritual herbs are not of a single attribute, in formulas, they are mostly paired based on their strongest attribute.

Yet the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit had its secondary attribute used—an extremely rare case that no one would have thought of.

But Ye Yuan, in just two days, had selected the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit from thousands of herbs. What terrifying deductive ability!

Few people knew about the wind attribute of the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit, and even fewer would think to use it.

Everyone stared at Ye Yuan in shock, realizing that his alchemy skills far exceeded their imagination.

Previously, excluding the Pure Heart Illusion Herb had only made them look at him with new eyes.

But now, the gazes of the seven-star divine alchemists toward Ye Yuan had turned into admiration!

Venerable Ziyi's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly, "No wonder Brother Piaoyu gave you the Master Token. Now, I am completely convinced!"

Venerable Liuming also exclaimed, "I never expected to meet a figure like Master Ye at this Cloud Alchemy Convention. Liuming is truly fortunate!"

Although Ye Yuan could not refine seventh-grade divine pills, his understanding of the Dao of alchemy had surpassed all the venerables.

How could these seven-star divine alchemists not admire him?

The Dao of alchemy differs from martial arts. In martial arts, strength is strength; even a prodigy like Ye Yuan cannot defy heaven and defeat a venerable.

But in alchemy, as long as your understanding reaches a certain level, even seven-star divine alchemists must concede.

However, such people are too few, so few that everyone overlooks them.

Ye Yuan's appearance today shattered all their preconceptions.

These venerables did not know that Ye Yuan's understanding of alchemy was growing ever deeper, and creating his own formulas had long become routine.

Completing a formula was naturally even less of a challenge for Ye Yuan.

...

The Zheng family's announcement of their permanent withdrawal from the Cloud Alchemy Convention immediately caused a stir throughout the city.

The Zheng family was a major alchemy clan with immense influence in the Southern Domain's alchemy world. To withdraw like this was shocking.

The Cloud Alchemy Convention was the grand alchemy event of the entire Southern Domain. Withdrawing meant being isolated from the Southern Domain's alchemy world.

Why would the Zheng family's ancestor make such a foolish move?

"Zheng Buqun's strength in this Cloud Alchemy Convention is enough to rank in the top ten. It's a pity to withdraw like this."

"Hey, what do you know? I heard the Zheng family withdrew because their ancestor lost a bet and had no choice."

"Oh? Who has such great ability to make the entire Zheng family permanently withdraw from the Cloud Alchemy Convention?"

"Who else? That Master Ye of the True God Realm! I heard that Master Ye completed an ancient formula, outshining a group of seven-star divine alchemists. The Zheng family ancestor didn't believe Master Ye could complete the formula, and lost the bet!"

"What! Is Master Ye really that formidable? Outshining a group of seven-star divine alchemists? My god!"

...

Various discussions arose in the city.

Walls have ears. What happened at the Qian Dan Pavilion eventually leaked out, immediately causing a sensation throughout the city.

However, most people didn't quite believe it, as such a thing was too incredible.

A six-star divine alchemist overwhelming a group of seven-star divine alchemists—who would believe that?

Others might not believe it, but Yun Yi's heart was in turmoil.

He was the instigator of this idea. He knew perfectly well whether the Zheng family ancestor's provocation was real.

He never dreamed that Ye Yuan would have such power, directly forcing the entire Zheng family off the Southern Domain's alchemy stage!

"Brother Yun Yi, when Zheng Buqun left, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to us. Do you think this was really done by that Ye Yuan?" the young man surnamed Duan said with a grim expression.

Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The rumors outside sound incredible. But... the truth is even more terrifying than the rumors!"
