Chapter 2530: Heavenly Alchemist!

"Miss Xue Zhen, I leave this person to you."

Ye Yuan waved his hand lightly, signaling to take the man away.

Yang Xuezhen bit her lip, her eyes full of hatred as she looked at Li Batian.

At the same time, she felt immensely grateful to Ye Yuan.

If not for Ye Yuan, she would not only have been unable to avenge herself but might have been coerced into marrying into the Li family, enduring endless humiliation.

Just thinking about that kind of life made her shudder.

"Ye Yuan, thank you!" Yang Xuezhen said emotionally.

Ye Yuan looked at her with a smile and said, "You should thank yourself! Good begets good, evil begets evil—perhaps that's what this is about."

Tang Yu bowed deeply to Ye Yuan and said, "Big brother, what happened yesterday was all my fault for being reckless. I hope you won't hold it against me. From now on, I will turn over a new leaf and be a better person!"

At this moment, the Yang family naturally drew attention from all sides.

Outside the Yang residence, the crowd watched the scene, their jaws dropping in shock.

"That's Young Master Yu! He... he lost an arm, and he's still apologizing?"

"This ascender is truly incredible. What exactly is his background?"

"I heard he single-handedly wiped out the Gui family. That's terrifying!"

"Heh, you believe that? He's just a lower minor extreme heaven—how could he possibly kill Gui Haisheng?"

...

Tang Yu's apology in front of so many people was almost like an act of atonement.

His sincerity was very evident.

However, Ye Yuan did not respond, a faint smile on his face that made Tang Yu uneasy.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he felt as if he might suffocate.

Tang Yu didn't know why facing Ye Yuan put him under such immense pressure!

"If... if big brother thinks what I did is unforgivable, please punish me severely!" Tang Yu couldn't bear it any longer and said through gritted teeth.

Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "I cut off your arm. Don't you hate me?"

Tang Yu shook his head like a rattle-drum and quickly said, "I was momentarily foolish; I deserved it!"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Tang Yu, you're a smart man. There are some things I don't need to spell out for you, do I?"

Tang Yu nodded eagerly like a chick pecking rice and said, "Big brother, rest assured! From now on, the Yang family and the Tang family will be united, sharing glory and loss! Sister-in-law's matters are my affairs! Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will get it done!"

At the words "sister-in-law," Yang Xuezhen's pretty face flushed red.

But deep down, she felt a hint of sweetness.

Ye Yuan knew Tang Yu had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.

As a woman alone, it would be very difficult for Yang Xuezhen to support the Yang family in the imperial city, surrounded by wolves.

But with the Tang family as an ally, things would be different.

Behind the Tang family, there was the shadow of the royal family.

Other families would have to think twice before moving against the Yang family.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Let bygones be bygones. I hope you remember what you just said. Otherwise... you know the consequences."

Tang Yu slapped his chest hard with his one arm and vowed, "Big brother, rest assured! I mean what I say!"

Ye Yuan's gaze fell on Tang Yu's severed arm, and he said calmly, "Does your Tang family have an alchemist?"

Tang Yu was startled and said, "Alchemist? Big brother means... a heavenly alchemist? Of course we do! The Tang family's main business is heavenly herbs and heavenly pills, so naturally we have heavenly alchemists! What, could it be that big brother is also a... heavenly alchemist?"

Heavenly realm experts and human realm experts are fundamentally different levels of life.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, alchemists are called heavenly alchemists, and they hold a revered status!

Ye Yuan had just arrived and was hearing about Celestial Alchemists for the first time, so naturally he found it novel.

He was curious about the true strength of a Celestial Alchemist from Grand Bright Jade Perfect Heaven.

His sudden inquiry was actually intended to help Tang Yu regrow his severed arm.

But since the Tang family had a Celestial Alchemist and Tang Yu still hadn't recovered, it seemed that regenerating a severed limb for a Heavenly Position powerhouse was not so easy.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Position, Ye Yuan also felt deeply moved.

He could sense the leap in his own life level!

Now, even using only his physical strength, he could crush a Dao Ancestor with one hand!

Even Dao Pills from the Transcendent Realm had no effect on a Heavenly Position powerhouse.

Because the elixirs of the Transcendent Realm were too weak!

The Dao of Alchemy, having reached the level of rules, had already surpassed the limits of the Transcendent Realm.

Thus, for a Dao Pill powerhouse to refine ordinary pills was simply effortless, too easy.

And the true elixirs that a Dao Pill powerhouse should refine were Celestial Elixirs!

Facing an unfamiliar world, given his nature, Ye Yuan would not be arrogant or make rash promises.

Since Tang Yu was sensible, Ye Yuan naturally couldn't show no response at all.

He had cut off the arm, so he would help Tang Yu grow it back.

But before understanding the Celestial Alchemist, he would not say much or make any commitments.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I am not a Celestial Alchemist, but I have some knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy. Since your Tang family has a Celestial Alchemist, could you take me to see him?"

Tang Yu quickly replied, "Of course! Brother is too modest, saying 'some knowledge'! Before ascending, Brother must have been the supreme alchemy master of that realm! But... the refinement of Celestial Pills is completely different from lower-realm pills; the difficulty is not on the same level at all! Brother will need some time to dabble in Celestial Pills."

Tang Yu's flattery came in waves.

But he had already spoken euphemistically.

The complexity of Celestial Elixirs was utterly incomparable to lower-realm elixirs.

Celestial Pills, naturally, were also incomparable to ordinary Divine Pills.

Their complexity was definitely a thousand or ten thousand times that of Divine Pills!

Ascendants were outsiders to Grand Bright Jade Perfect Heaven, and their affinity for Celestial Elixirs was very poor.

Therefore, the difficulty for an ascendant to become a Celestial Alchemist was a hundred or a thousand times greater than for a native Heavenly Position powerhouse!

For this reason, Celestial Alchemists among ascendants were extremely rare.

Among a thousand ascendant alchemy masters, not even one might become a Celestial Alchemist!

And this was only among alchemy masters; if considering all ascendants, the proportion was negligible.

Even those who were once top-tier alchemy masters in the lower realms became ordinary upon entering Grand Bright Jade Perfect Heaven.

The vast majority gave up on the Dao of Alchemy.

Not because they didn't want to, but because it was too difficult!

And this was one of the reasons why native powerhouses looked down on ascendants!

The Five Radiance Heaven Domain was a territory where ascendants gathered, yet even the supreme powerhouses there had to treat Celestial Alchemists with respect.

In fact, they even had to curry favor with Celestial Alchemists.

If others could refine a Celestial Pill in one year, but you took a hundred years, how could you compete?

Seeing Tang Yu's expression, Ye Yuan knew he had already spoken euphemistically.

But precisely because of this, Ye Yuan became even more interested in Celestial Alchemists.

He said calmly, "From now on, when you speak to me, don't flatter me in waves. Say it as it is!"

Tang Yu's expression changed, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Brother!"

Thereupon, Tang Yu explained the difficulty of becoming a Celestial Alchemist, and Ye Yuan frowned slightly as he listened.

He hadn't expected it to be this difficult!
