Chapter 2674: Take Him Back!

"Song Wenhao, Supreme Creation Pill, second-grade lower!"

As Cui Tong announced, the entire venue erupted in astonishment.

Compared to Ye Yuan's genuine article, this was naturally nothing.

But this achievement was enough to overshadow his peers.

"That kid Song Wenhao has grown stronger again!"

"Truly worthy of being the second genius of Tiannan; his potential is no less than Jiang Li's!"

"That Song Minzhe, he's probably already refined a waste pill, right? Heh, this time, the Third Hall Master is really going to be slapped in the face!"

...

While the big shots marveled, they also heaped scorn on Ye Yuan.

Seeing Ye Yuan suffer a setback was what they most wanted to do right now.

Even Song Minzhe himself, upon seeing this result, had a pale face.

He felt that he probably couldn't surpass it.

After all, before this, he had never refined the Imperial Pill.

Being able to persist this time was already a miracle.

Song Wenhao, however, looked arrogant and sneered, "You reckless fool! How dare you compete with me? When we return to the clan, you'll see what's coming for you!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Hasn't Song Minzhe yet opened his furnace? Why are you all getting so worked up?"

Song Tianyang chuckled, "Is there even a need to open it? Given Minzhe's state, it's already a miracle he held on! This furnace of imperial pills, nine times out of ten, has become waste pills."

Ye Yuan smiled, "Isn't there still a ten percent chance? Song Minzhe, open the furnace!"

With a nervous heart, Song Minzhe opened the furnace.

Boom!

As the cauldron opened, an imperial pill soon appeared before everyone.

The big shots instantly changed color.

Song Wenhao's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "How is this possible? It... it actually formed a pill!"

Song Tianyang was also dumbfounded, saying, "Minzhe's refining was clearly without any method; how could it form a pill?"

Song Wenhao snorted coldly, "Forming a pill is useless! With that trash, he can only refine a first-grade lower!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Cui Tong, test the pill!"

Cui Tong did as told, placing the Supreme Creation Pill on the Cloud Mountain Stone Mother, and said, "Song Minzhe, Supreme Creation Pill, third-grade middle!"

These words struck like a heavy hammer, slamming into everyone's hearts.

All the clan heads were petrified in that moment!

Song Minzhe, who had never refined the Imperial Pill before, not only succeeded but directly achieved third-grade middle!

It had only been three short months; how could such a miraculous thing happen?

Had this Third Hall Master cast some spell on him?

"This... this is impossible! How could that trash refine a third-grade upper Imperial Pill? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Song Wenhao felt deceived.

How could such a thing happen?

Three months ago, Song Minzhe was clearly a piece of trash he looked down on.

Three months later, Ye Yuan had turned stone into gold, trampling him, the number one genius of Tiannan, underfoot?

He couldn't help but look at Song Minzhe, only to find the latter also looking bewildered, mixed with surprise.

Clearly, even he himself couldn't quite believe it!

Song Tianyang stared blankly at Ye Yuan and said, "Th... Third Hall Master, how... how is this possible?"

Ye Yuan looked perfectly at ease and said calmly, "No rush, keep watching. Next, who's up?"

"I am!"

Yun Yuan volunteered and stepped forward.

His gaze swept over the group and finally landed on a youth in yellow robes.

"I choose him!" Yun Yuan pointed at the yellow-robed youth.

"This... Yun Yuan actually chose Lin Zhaoyuan, the worst of the Lin family! He's lowering his own status!"

"The Third Hall Master didn't say this wasn't allowed! Since it's within the rules, what's wrong with it?"

"I still don't believe it—can these brats really turn the world upside down!"

…

The clan heads clearly couldn't accept this reality, because what was happening before their eyes was too颠覆ing!

A guy with mediocre talent had suddenly become a top genius.

And all of this had happened in just three short months.

Then what was the point of all their previous efforts?

Hadn't they become a joke?

Ye Yuan nodded lightly and said, "Fine! Lin Zhaoyuan, you go."

"Yes!"

Lin Zhaoyuan stepped forward as instructed.

Soon, the two entered the state of alchemy.

Yun Yuan couldn't refine the Imperial Heaven Pill, but his strength was already infinitely close to that level.

So the second-grade celestial pill he chose was also extremely difficult.

According to the clan heads' understanding, Lin Zhaoyuan's talent was even worse than Song Minzhe's.

Among these two hundred-plus people, he could basically rank in the bottom ten.

A guy like that—no matter how good he got—couldn't possibly win, right?

But Ye Yuan knew that Yun Yuan had picked the wrong person!

If among the people he had chosen, Song Minzhe ranked first in strength,

then Lin Zhaoyuan was the one who had improved the most!

Although this kid's talent wasn't as good as Song Minzhe's, his temperament was even more tenacious!

During these three months, Lin Zhaoyuan had trained almost like a madman.

Under Ye Yuan's guidance, Lin Zhaoyuan's progress was terrifying.

It should be said that among the people he had chosen, Lin Zhaoyuan's current strength could definitely rank in the top three!

So the result was self-evident.

Yun Yuan's final result was middle-grade sixth.

While Lin Zhaoyuan had reached a terrifying upper-grade eighth!

Only one step away from ninth grade!

That is to say, he was not far from the Imperial Heaven Pill.

Even, with luck, he could also refine the Imperial Heaven Pill!

This result once again shocked all the clan heads.

Bottom ten defeated second place!

Three months!

Only three months!

Next, those so-called geniuses whom Ye Yuan had rejected stepped forward one after another.

But no matter who they chose as their opponent, the final result was defeat!

The fifty-plus people Ye Yuan had chosen were terrifyingly balanced in strength!

The clan heads grew more and more disheartened and fearful as they watched.

The change in these three months could be described as earth-shattering!

The disciples who were neglected in their families staged a stunning reversal three months later, trampling those so-called genius disciples one by one underfoot.

In the end, they could hardly bear to watch anymore.

Too miserable to look at!

That is to say, the geniuses they had spent so many years and countless resources and effort to cultivate were all garbage!

The blow was truly immense!

Or rather, Ye Yuan's methods were too miraculous, able to turn a bunch of garbage into geniuses?

They had to admit defeat!

"Th... Third Hall Master, since these people could make such great progress in three months, then the others should have improved even more, right? C... couldn't you take them in?" Song Tianyang said guiltily.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It's useless! In these three months, this hall has not played favorites. My instruction to them was exactly the same! But as you have seen, this is the result. Of course, I don't rule out that some of them might be motivated by shame to work hard and meet my requirements. But for now, take them all back."
