Chapter 2851: Clashing with the Ancestor!

Ye Yuan didn't take the anger of Zhu Yan and the others to heart.

He wasn't familiar with these people anyway, so there was no need to care too much about their emotions.

After Zhu Yan and the others left, Ye Yuan went straight to the Sutra Library to begin reading the alchemy classics of the Extreme Pill Sect.

The Extreme Pill Sect focused on alchemy, and its collection of scriptures was extremely rich, truly vast and numerous.

The Sutra Library of the Extreme Pill Sect was divided into two: alchemy and martial arts.

The alchemy Sutra Library was a full seven stories high!

Of course, entering different floors required different permissions.

As a disciple of Zuo Chen, Ye Yuan naturally had great authority and could go directly to the sixth floor.

The Extreme Pill Sect did not impose too many restrictions on the Sutra Library.

Alchemy was different from martial arts; you couldn't reach the top just by being given a secret manual.

The content recorded in alchemy classics and martial arts classics was also vastly different.

Some profound things, even if shown to you, you might not understand.

Only through gradual accumulation could one go from shallow to deep and reach the peak.

However, 'not too many' didn't mean none. The classics on the seventh floor were the foundation of the Extreme Pill Sect, accessible only to those with the highest authority.

Entering the Sutra Library, Ye Yuan didn't linger on the lower floors but went straight to the sixth floor.

Ye Yuan was only half a step away from the Xuan Grade. What he needed now was a spark of insight to break through this shackle.

Ordinary classics could solidify his foundation but couldn't provide the guiding light.

So, he came directly to the sixth floor.

Alchemy classics were not as clearly graded as martial arts classics.

For example, the 'Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide' was merely a catalog of some celestial medicines, yet its value was enough to place it on the seventh floor.

On the sixth floor, there were naturally some classics that Ye Yuan couldn't understand.

But most of them, he could still comprehend.

Because his realm had already reached that level.

Above the Xuan Grade, things became more ethereal. Classics of that level were extremely precious and would naturally be placed on the seventh floor.

Of course, Ye Yuan knew that there were even higher-level books stored in the Extreme Light Pavilion.

There, only the elders of the Extreme Light Pavilion were qualified to read.

But those books were still too far away for Ye Yuan, so naturally, he didn't need to consider them.

On the sixth floor, there weren't many people reading classics, mostly Emperor realm experts.

As soon as Ye Yuan entered, he immediately drew sidelong glances.

It wasn't that no fifth-grade celestial alchemist could come to the sixth floor; Lü Daoyi had that qualification.

But even Lü Daoyi wouldn't come to the sixth floor.

The alchemy classics here weren't suitable for him.

So seeing a Saint Emperor Heaven, these Emperor realm experts were all quite surprised.

Ignoring their gazes, Ye Yuan went straight to the bookshelf and began browsing.

On the shelves were various jade slips, with the names and brief introductions of the classics beside them, clear at a glance.

Ye Yuan swept his eyes over them, casually picked up a copy of 'Detailed Explanation of Xuan Grade Celestial Pills,' and began to read.

Suddenly, a voice came from beside Ye Yuan: "Young man, aiming too high is not good! The Xuan Grade Celestial Pill is a realm you cannot touch now. It's better to lay a solid foundation—that's the right path!"

Turning his head, he saw an old man in a black robe.

Ye Yuan bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Thank you for your教诲, Ancestor. This disciple understands!"

He said this, but showed no intention of leaving.

The black-robed old man's strength was unfathomable; Ye Yuan couldn't see through him and suspected he had reached the Indra realm.

So, Ye Yuan addressed him as Ancestor.

The black-robed old man frowned and said: "Kid, are you taking my words as wind passing by ears?"

Ye Yuan had no choice but to honestly say: "Ancestor, this disciple came here to break through to the Xuan Grade."

At these words, many Emperor realm experts burst out laughing.

A mere Saint Emperor Heaven talking about breaking through to the Xuan Grade—it was really funny.

They themselves had reached the Emperor realm and still hadn't broken through to the Xuan Grade!

Not saying it was fine, but now that he said it, the black-robed old man snorted coldly: "Not only are you aiming too high, but you're also arrogant and conceited! Who is your master?"

Ye Yuan felt helpless and could only say: "My master is Zuo Chen!"

The black-robed old man snorted coldly: "That boy Zuo Chen, is he blind? How did he take on such a clueless disciple? Go to where you belong, and stop disturbing others here!"

Ye Yuan shrugged and said: "Ancestor, I came only to read, not to disturb anyone. It is you who has disturbed others."

At these words, everyone was stunned.

This kid, he's really arrogant!

Didn't he know who the person in front of him was?

Even if he didn't know, calling Zuo Chen 'that boy' and saying he was blind—could that be an ordinary person?

And he dared to speak like that!

"Heh, impressive! Even that boy Zuo Chen wouldn't dare speak like that in front of me, little friend. You really have guts!" the black-robed old man sneered.

Ye Yuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This disciple is only stating the facts! I am qualified to enter the sixth floor, so naturally, I have the right to read here. Even if we take this to the Sect Master, I am not in the wrong. Ancestor, you have no authority to make me leave. If you insist on making me leave, then I can only go to the Law Enforcement Hall to seek justice!"

The black-robed old man's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This kid was actually using the Law Enforcement Hall to pressure him!

He had told him to leave for his own good, but the kid not only didn't appreciate it but also made trouble for him!

If this really went to the Law Enforcement Hall, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.

Given Ye Yuan's status, he indeed had the right to read classics here.

As the manager of the alchemy Sutra Library, if he really drove Ye Yuan out, he would be in the wrong.

The Law Enforcement Hall would make things difficult for him!

He, an Indra realm expert, was bullying a Saint Emperor Heaven—that wouldn't hold water anywhere.

"Ha! Fine! Very good! I'll see how you break through to the Xuan Grade! Your name is Ye Yuan, right? I'll remember you. I'll go ask that boy Zuo Chen how he teaches his disciples!"

The black-robed old man flicked his sleeves and left, leaving a group of dumbfounded Emperor realm experts.

"This kid is too awesome, he actually made Elder Fan Li speechless!"

"Awesome? I think he's asking for death! Elder Fan Li is the Sect Master's senior brother, extremely senior! This kid has offended him; even Uncle-Master Zuo Chen won't be able to protect him!"

"Heh, actually, I'm also curious to see how this kid breaks through to the Xuan Grade!"

...

Ye Yuan naturally knew that Fan Li meant well, but he was telling the truth, yet the other party didn't believe him and even wanted to drive him away.

Sometimes, geniuses were just that helpless.

Since you want to see, then I'll let you see.

Ye Yuan didn't think much more; he immersed his divine sense into the jade slip and began to read carefully.

...

Soon, the news that Ye Yuan didn't dare to accept Lü Daoyi's challenge but stubbornly refused to admit defeat spread throughout the sect.

Originally, a mere Saint Emperor Heaven wouldn't attract attention.

But Ye Yuan's entry into the Extreme Pill Sect had caused too much of a stir; it was impossible not to attract attention.

This matter continued to ferment, and soon Zuo Chen's lineage became a laughingstock throughout the sect.

Since the Sect Master personally gave the order, naturally no one thought it was because of Ye Yuan's face.

So most people believed that Zuo Chen was shielding Ye Yuan.

Now, the one he was shielding turned out to be such a coward—wasn't that a joke?

On the other hand, Lü Daoyi's bold words also spread rapidly through the Extreme Pill Sect, shocking everyone.

Lü Daoyi's forceful emergence could be said to have become a stabilizing pillar for the conservative faction!

Although he was only a fifth-grade celestial alchemist, his achievements were already approaching those of the number one genius, Zhou Songquan.

What did this mean?

It meant that the conservative faction's approach was correct!

If they could nurture another Dominance realm expert in the rear, it would definitely have a profound impact on this war.

"Good! Good disciple! Master truly didn't misjudge you! This time, you've really brought honor to your master!" On Tian Song Peak, Qin Shan laughed heartily.

These past two days, he had been riding high, stealing the spotlight.

Even some Indra realm experts greeted him with smiles when they saw him.

Lü Daoyi smiled and said: "Master, the glorious things are yet to come! Starting tomorrow, I will challenge the sect's sixth-grade celestial alchemists one by one! I want everyone to know that I, Lü Daoyi, am the number one genius after Ancestor Songquan! I want everyone to know that Master's proposition is the right one!"
