Chapter 2592: The Astonishing Trump Card!

"Alright, the Worry-Free Poison on you has been completely removed." Ye Yuan took a deep breath and said.

The Worry-Free Poison was quite potent, and Ye Yuan had to expend considerable effort to detoxify it.

Wen Jingxuan looked at Ye Yuan, her face full of gratitude.

If not for Ye Yuan, she dared not imagine what the consequences would have been.

She rose and made a deep curtsy to Ye Yuan, saying gratefully, "Jingxuan thanks Elder Ye!"

"Hmm? What did you call me?"

"M-master!" After a moment's hesitation, Wen Jingxuan finally called out.

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "In all my journey, I have taken the initiative to accept a disciple only this once! However, I do not like to force others! There is only this one chance; you must think it over!"

He knew that Wen Jingxuan was having trouble getting over this hurdle in her heart.

But who was Ye Yuan? How could he stoop to begging someone to become his disciple?

Whether Wen Jingxuan was willing or not, it didn't matter.

He would only give this one chance.

If missed, it was missed!

Sure enough, Wen Jingxuan's expression changed, and she quickly said, "D-disciple knows her mistake!"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "This is not your fault, but I have always been extremely strict in taking disciples. If not for your truly remarkable talent, I would not have bothered with your affairs!"

Wen Jingxuan's expression dimmed as she said, "Thank you, Master!"

Ye Yuan glanced at her but said nothing more.

Some paths must be walked alone.

Just then, a commotion came from outside.

"Elder Ye, come out! I, Wu Chengchao, am not convinced and demand justice! I am a dignified third-grade celestial pharmacist, yet you make me refine Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills every day—what is the meaning of this?"

"Even if I master Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills to perfection, what use is it?"

"We are not convinced! How can a first-grade celestial pharmacist be an elder?"

...

Ye Yuan went out and saw Wu Chengchao leading the trouble.

A group of second-grade celestial pharmacists followed behind, stirring up trouble.

These were the backbone of Wuding Tianzong's alchemy.

Though somewhat weak.

After Qin Shun left, Ye Yuan took over the Alchemist Hall.

And the first thing he did upon taking office was to make everyone relearn how to refine Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills.

Lin Lan was the chief instructor for everyone.

However, this order had only been carried out for two days before Wu Chengchao and the others started causing trouble.

Although Ye Yuan's previous performance was astonishing, making them, second- and third-grade celestial pharmacists, practice the most basic Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills was simply the biggest joke under heaven.

How could they be willing?

Among them, Wu Chengchao was the most vocal.

Ye Yuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he frowned, saying, "Where is Lin Lan?"

The noise abruptly stopped.

"Master!" Just then, a voice sounded from behind the crowd.

Ye Yuan looked over—who else could it be but Lin Lan?

But he was covered in wounds, clearly having suffered considerable injuries.

Ye Yuan's gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Who did this?"

Everyone exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan sneered, "It seems you are dissatisfied with me being an elder due to my low cultivation level!"

Wu Chengchao said, "We are not dissatisfied! But this guy abuses his authority and forces us to relearn Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills every day—what kind of nonsense is that? Could it be that refining Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills can break through to fourth-grade celestial pharmacist?"

Ye Yuan squinted at Wu Chengchao and sneered, "So you beat up this elder's disciple?"

Ye Yuan stared straight at Wu Chengchao, and Wu Chengchao met his gaze.

But soon, Wu Chengchao averted his eyes.

He could not withstand Ye Yuan's aura!

Wu Chengchao was shocked—he had actually lost to a minor Extreme Heaven realm cultivator!

"N-not just me!" Wu Chengchao said awkwardly.

"Jingxuan!" Ye Yuan suddenly called out.

Wen Jingxuan was startled and quickly responded, "Disciple is here!"

Everyone was puzzled and turned their gazes to Wen Jingxuan.

Ye Yuan turned to her and smiled, "You have good talent, with an affinity score as high as fifty-nine! So, do you want to go even further?"

Wen Jingxuan was stunned again, then ecstatic, "Master, I... can I?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "If I say you can, then you can!"

Hearing this, everyone was shaken!

Affinity!

Elder Ye was finally pulling out his trump card!

They all knew that Elder Ye had become an elder solely because of this ace up his sleeve!

The means to increase affinity were extremely tempting.

The significance of this move was extraordinary!

Even Wu Chengchao couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

No one would ever complain about having too high an affinity!

Perhaps if their affinity increased by one point, their strength would increase tenfold!

"Thank you, Master!" Wen Jingxuan said excitedly.

The gloom on her face vanished, replaced by excitement.

The allure of increasing affinity was too great!

She couldn't resist!

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You are my disciple, so naturally you receive different treatment from others!"

With that, he raised his palm and produced a pill.

Seeing the pill, Wen Jingxuan's expression froze, and she blurted out, "F-Foundation Establishment Celestial Pill?"

"Can Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills increase affinity?"

"Elder Ye, you must be joking, right?"

"The sect master appointed you as elder with high hopes, and this is what you show us?"

...

Ye Yuan actually brought out a Foundation Establishment Celestial Pill, immediately drawing mockery.

They had never heard that Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills could increase affinity!

Wasn't this a joke?

"Bring the Innate Cloud Stone," Ye Yuan instructed.

Suppressing her curiosity, Wen Jingxuan fetched the Innate Cloud Stone.

"Test your affinity," Ye Yuan instructed again.

Wen Jingxuan did as told and placed her palm on the Innate Cloud Stone.

Soon, the scale on the Innate Cloud Stone reached fifty-nine points!

Although everyone knew this result, witnessing it again still filled them with envy.

This number was something they would look up to for their entire lives!

However, they sneered at Ye Yuan's series of actions.

If Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills could increase affinity, would it have been left for Ye Yuan to discover?

"Eat it and refine it on the spot," Ye Yuan instructed repeatedly.

Without hesitation, Wen Jingxuan swallowed the ninth-grade Foundation Establishment Celestial Pill.

Soon, Wen Jingxuan felt as if she had been reborn, her entire body becoming much lighter.

A foul odor emanated from her body—she had undergone a cleansing of marrow!

Seeing this, everyone was astonished.

Did Foundation Establishment Celestial Pills have such an effect?

After refining, Wen Jingxuan felt an indescribable comfort and said excitedly, "Master, this Foundation Establishment Celestial Pill has such a miraculous effect?"

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Go, test again!"

Wen Jingxuan did as told and placed her palm on the Innate Cloud Stone again!

Although they thought a miracle was impossible, everyone held their breath and stared intently at the Innate Cloud Stone.

Soon, the scale reached fifty-nine.

But this time, it did not stop at fifty-nine!
