Chapter 2818: A Bold Move!

"Ancestor, that Ye Yuan has gone too far! A mere fifth-grade celestial pharmacist dares to throw his weight around and kill our Extreme Medicine Sect disciples! If we let this slide, what face will our Extreme Medicine Sect have left to stay in the Heavenly Alliance?"

Before Zuo Chen the Venerable, Xiao Shan could not contain his fury.

How revered was the Extreme Medicine Sect, how noble were its disciples?

A mere fifth-grade celestial pharmacist had ridden roughshod over them!

If this could be tolerated, what could not?

But no matter how furious Xiao Shan was, Zuo Chen remained utterly composed.

"Is that all? I understand." Zuo Chen said calmly.

Xiao Shan was taken aback. What kind of reaction was this?

"Ancestor, that Ye Yuan..."

"Keep your disciples in line; they must all obey Ye Yuan's orders! This is a military camp, and he is the Grand Commander of the celestial pharmacist corps. No matter which sect you're from, you must follow orders!" Zuo Chen remained indifferent.

Xiao Shan wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him.

Ancestor Zuo Chen was a Di Haotian powerhouse of the Extreme Medicine Sect, and he wanted his own disciples to obey a fifth-grade celestial pharmacist?

"How... how can this be? Did our Extreme Medicine Sect disciple die in vain?" Xiao Shan protested.

Zuo Chen said, "How could it be in vain? Zhang Xiu's death was glorious and fitting. Issue an order to the entire army: Zhang Xiu was arrogant, defied his superior, and treated life like dirt—his crime deserves death! Ye Yuan has repeatedly achieved outstanding feats and has extraordinary talent in alchemy. I intend to take him as my personal disciple. When the northern campaign is successfully concluded, I will formally accept him as my apprentice."

Xiao Shan was completely dumbfounded; his mind seemed unable to function.

Each word from Zuo Chen the Venerable left him stunned.

Ye Yuan killed an Extreme Medicine Sect disciple, and the ancestor not only refused to defend him but said it was well done?

No, that wasn't the point!

Personal disciple!

Zuo Chen the Venerable actually intended to take Ye Yuan as his personal disciple!

This... this was too shocking!

Zuo Chen the Venerable was an ancestor at the Di Haotian level!

He personally stepped forward to take a mere Saint Celestial as his personal disciple?

Such a thing was even more astonishing than the sun rising from the west!

Had all these venerable powerhouses gone mad?

Ye Yuan had suddenly become his own uncle?

This was too absurd!

A country bumpkin had become his little uncle!

Xiao Shan suddenly felt the world had gone insane.

He didn't know how he left; his mind was in a daze.

Powerhouses of Zuo Chen's level had no need to explain anything to Xiao Shan.

He did as he pleased.

It was because Ming Yi had reached the point where one foot was already through the door of the Di realm that Dan Fei regarded him differently.

As for Xiao Shan, he wasn't qualified.

Everything that happened today was too surreal, too unbelievable.

First, Dan Fei the Venerable personally appointed Ye Yuan as Grand Commander of the celestial pharmacist corps.

Then, Zuo Chen the Venerable, the ancestor of the Extreme Medicine Sect, wanted to take Ye Yuan as his personal disciple!

Two top-tier venerables were simultaneously elevating a mere Saint Celestial!

The position of Grand Commander was already extremely honorable.

Now, Ye Yuan had become Zuo Chen the Venerable's disciple—that was even more formidable.

Not to mention anything else, Ye Yuan's seniority alone would scare people to death!

It must be known that in the Extreme Medicine Sect, even a Di Yuntian powerhouse would respectfully address Zuo Chen as Senior Uncle!

Zuo Chen's strength was also extremely formidable among all Di Haotian powerhouses.

His status in the Extreme Medicine Sect was very high.

Countless people wished to become his disciple but could not.

Among them were even some Di Yuntian powerhouses!

...

As expected, the entire northern army was once again in an uproar!

Zuo Chen the Venerable taking Ye Yuan as his personal disciple was too sensational.

Throughout the camp, everyone was discussing it.

"Crazy! Absolutely crazy! I thought Zuo Chen the Venerable would fly into a rage and even lock horns with Dan Fei the Venerable. Who would have thought he not only didn't, but wanted to take Ye Yuan as his personal disciple!"

"What a miraculous move! Grand Commander Ye killed an Extreme Medicine Sect disciple, and instead of blaming him, the Extreme Medicine Sect ancestor wants to take him as a disciple!"

"It seems not everyone in the Extreme Medicine Sect is arrogant and domineering! The higher-ups have clear eyes!"

"Grand Commander Ye is our benefactor. If he soars to great heights, we share in the glory!"

...

Amid the shock, many were happy for Ye Yuan.

The sensational effect of this event quickly swept away the gloom of the previous defeat.

Love me, love my dog; many soldiers' resentment toward the Extreme Medicine Sect dropped to a minimum.

When Dan Fei the Venerable heard the news, he was startled, then laughed, "That old Zuo Chen is as shrewd as ever! This move of going with the flow is masterfully executed!"

Ming Yi smiled bitterly, "Who would have thought that a mere Saint Celestial would suddenly become a hotshot in the northern army? Now, when I see him, I'll have to call him Uncle! How can I still be the commander?"

Dan Fei laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Interesting! Interesting! That old Zuo Chen has always been unconventional—that's what I admire most about him! But this move of his has truly stunned me! That said, Ye Yuan is indeed a rare good seedling... It's a pity he's a rebel cultivator!"

His words carried endless regret.

How could he not know that Ye Yuan was a good seedling?

But the fate of a rebel cultivator was beyond his control!

Throughout history, how many rebel cultivators had reached the Di realm? Very few.

Those who could cultivate to Di Haotian were even rarer.

What did it mean if they couldn't cultivate?

Death!

Death under the Dao Tribulation!

Succeed or die!

When Ye Yuan himself heard the news, he was also dumbfounded.

He had never even met Zuo Chen the Venerable, and yet the latter wanted to take him as a personal disciple?

But upon second thought, he understood Zuo Chen's intention.

This move was significant!

Indeed, these big shots had a broad perspective; none of them were simple!

He had used a little force to move a great weight, and the other side had gone with the flow.

So he was about to become someone else's disciple?

Had no one asked for his opinion?

What if he refused?

Well, actually, Ye Yuan himself was quite tempted.

Regardless, in Tai Ming Yu Wan Tian, the Extreme Medicine Sect was the strongest sect in alchemy, bar none!

Becoming a disciple of the Extreme Medicine Sect was something no one could refuse.

Moreover, his master would be an eighth-grade celestial pharmacist at the Di Haotian level!

As for Xiao Shan and the others, Ye Yuan looked down on them.

Ye Yuan thought highly of himself, but he wasn't arrogant enough to overestimate his abilities.

Before an eighth-grade celestial pharmacist, he was nothing but an ant.

And Ye Yuan knew that people like Xiao Shan were not the top tier in the Extreme Medicine Sect.

The true elites were all on the southern front.

The northern campaign was too sudden; the truly elite disciples couldn't be transferred in time.

It must be remembered that a mere Dan Alliance Holy Son, Cang Yongning, had nearly pushed him to the brink.

And he was only a disciple taught by Li Changsheng, a castaway of the Extreme Medicine Sect.

Looking at the leopard through a tube, one could see the strength of the Extreme Medicine Sect!

Therefore, becoming the disciple of an eighth-grade celestial pharmacist was not something Ye Yuan resisted.

But the urgent task at hand was not taking a master, but truly resolving the blood contamination calamity!
