Chapter 2220: Ignored

Ye Yuan paused mid-step, the smile on his face gradually fading.

Beside him, Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign sighed softly, knowing that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.

Before coming, he had repeatedly urged Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign not to bring up the past, only to sincerely admit fault.

Only then might there be a sliver of hope for reconciliation.

But Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign, clinging to his status, brought up past events.

Given Ye Yuan's temper, how could he let it go?

Sure enough, Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Daoist Jianghui, aren't you ashamed to say that? Ask yourself, who is responsible for the glory of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion over these millennia? Was it I, Ye Yuan, who basked in your glory, or was it your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion that basked in mine?"

Over the past thousand-plus years, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had reached unprecedented strength.

The profits they earned even surpassed the total of the previous tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

With such immense profits as backing, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion naturally nurtured countless experts.

And these profits were all created by Ye Yuan's pill formulas!

Since Ye Yuan entered the Tongtian Realm, the exclusive pill formulas he gave to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were worth nearly the price of a Heavenly Sovereign's Dao Field!

Especially after the last Cloud Pill Convention, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's reputation reached its peak.

What Ye Yuan gave back to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion far exceeded what he had taken.

When Ye Yuan made friends, he always gave a peach in return for a jade.

Ye Yuan could leave with peace of mind, effectively entrusting the Tianying Imperial City to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

But he treated the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion as friends, yet they only saw him as a profit partner.

When Tianying needed help the most, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion pulled the rug out from under them.

They washed their hands of it!

Wasn't that action no different from kicking someone off a cliff?

Although the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion did not participate in this siege, they were still accomplices!

Ye Yuan knew well that with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's current strength, they could definitely withstand the pressure from the Southern Domain Alliance.

At the very least, they could have protected Tianying.

But they backed down!

They thought that without him, Tianying had no use, so they directly betrayed it.

Only then did Ye Yuan suddenly realize that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, after all, was nothing but a group of deceitful merchants!

Merchants forever chase only profit!

And Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign was the exception among them.

Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign's face reddened; he knew Ye Yuan spoke the truth!

In fact, he himself was an indirect beneficiary.

But the pride of a Heavenly Sovereign prevented him from bowing his head.

Uttering some humble words was already his limit.

And Ye Yuan's attitude thoroughly enraged him.

Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign's gaze darkened as he said, "Ye Yuan, I lowered my status to speak kindly to you, yet you push too far! Don't forget, the pill formulas are still in the hands of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion! If we make them public, you know the consequences!"

Ye Yuan looked at Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign as if he were an idiot, grinned, and said, "Whatever makes you happy!"

After speaking, he turned to Piaoyu and said, "Brother Piaoyu, that guy Jimo came, so I took the opportunity to extort some seventh-grade spiritual herbs. In the past two days, I refined a few Feathering Ascension Pills, which should be enough for your cultivation for a while. As for Brother Chaoyuan, I'm a bit troubled."

Ye Yuan patted his forehead, looking troubled.

He was indeed a bit troubled!

In this matter, Ye Yuan owed the two biggest favors to Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign and Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign.

Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign was fine; he still had room for improvement.

But for Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign to go further, it would be the Heavenly Sovereign realm!

Where could he find another set of ingredients for the Nine Mystic Heavenly Sovereign Pill?

Beside him, Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign's gaze sharpened.

That was a Resting Spirit Divine Pill!

Nowadays, a single pill personally refined by Ye Yuan was priceless outside.

This single Feathering Ascension Pill could be exchanged for an eighth-grade divine pill, and someone would definitely take the deal.

Yet he gave it away like a common cabbage to Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign!

And several at once!

These pills were enough for Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign to cultivate to the peak of Heavenly Sovereign.

"Boy, you are too arrogant! You will pay for your insolence!" Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign, feeling ignored, roared angrily.

But Ye Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard, still speaking to Piaoyu, "Oh, brother, here are my alchemy insights from these years. You can take a look, and we can improve together."

Piaoyu's gaze凝ed, and his breathing quickened.

Compared to the pills, this jade slip was even more precious!

"Ye Yuan, do you really want to force yourself into a dead end? Those who dare to oppose the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion never come to a good end!" Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign thundered.

Ye Yuan: "Brother Piaoyu, call Brother Chaoyuan tomorrow too, and let's drink to our hearts' content!"

Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign: "..."

He could no longer stay here.

After Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign left, Piaoyu sighed softly and said, "Brother, why must you do this? Are you really not afraid of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion making the pill formulas public?"

Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Pill formulas? Heh, threatening me with my own pill formulas—I really wonder if this guy's brain is made of tofu! If the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Sovereign is smart, he should restrain himself a bit! And then, treat you well! With you around, some things are easier to say; but if he offends you, heh... his business in the Southern Domain will be over!"

Piaoyu Heavenly Sovereign's expression turned serious; only then did he realize that Ye Yuan's trump card was no longer those pill formulas.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he had never taken those pill formulas seriously!

Indeed, threatening him with his own pill formulas—wasn't that ridiculous?

...

"Master, that arrogant brat is too insolent, completely disregarding our Ten Thousand Treasures Dao Field! In my opinion, we should now make the pill formulas public and join forces with the other two parties to deal with this kid! Isn't his Tianying Dao Field just a mere First Heaven Heavenly Sovereign? Can he oppose the entire Southern Domain?"

Back at the Ten Thousand Treasures Dao Field, Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign was furious.

He was the senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Sovereign, having followed him the longest, and held a very high status in the Ten Thousand Treasures Dao Field.

But as he spoke with great gusto, he failed to notice that the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Sovereign's expression had turned extremely grim.

When he finished, the Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Sovereign sneered and said, "Jianghui, are you a pig? I sent you to represent the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to apologize, and you went to flaunt your Heavenly Sovereign might at Ye Yuan? Is your brain addled? Is being a Heavenly Sovereign such a big deal? Don't you know that Ye Yuan used pills to single-handedly create a Heavenly Sovereign expert? If not for the extreme rarity of the Nine Mystic Heavenly Sovereign Pill's ingredients, Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign would be the second in Tianying Dao Field! In the future, there will be a third, a fourth!"

Jianghui Heavenly Sovereign was dumbfounded by the scolding; his master had never been so furious.

What was wrong this time?

"Do you think those few lousy pill formulas are something special? Threatening him with the pill formulas we got from Ye Yuan—did a donkey kick your brain?" The Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Sovereign grew angrier as he scolded, looking at him with utter disappointment.
