Chapter 516: Don't Steal My Master

In the City Lord's Mansion, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came from Ren Dong's alchemy room.

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded! I finally succeeded!"

Ren Dong stared at the top-grade first-tier pill in his hand, as if possessed.

"So Little Formless Art really can refine top-grade pills! It seems I'm not worthy of the title of advanced quasi-pill king! Even Little Formless Art can produce top-grade pills, which shows that I've missed too much along the way! Ye Yuan, I'm determined to have you as my master!" Ren Dong took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

"Bang!"

Ren Dong opened the door of the alchemy room and ran out like a gust of wind.

"Xiao Dong, where are you going?" A kind voice stopped Ren Dong.

"Aunt, I have urgent business to attend to. I'll come back to pay my respects to you later. I'm off now!" Ren Dong didn't pause at all and dashed far away.

"This child!" The woman sighed softly.

If Ye Yuan were here, he would have been overjoyed. This woman was none other than his long-missed mother, Ren Hongling!

"Alas, I wonder how Yuan'er is doing lately. He's not what he used to be now; he should be doing well, right?" Ren Hongling murmured to herself.

Ren Hongling was confined by Ren Xingchun, only allowed to move within the high walls.

She missed only two people day and night: one was Ye Hang, imprisoned by Ren Xingchun, and the other was naturally her son Ye Yuan.

In this inner residence, Ren Hongling's favorite nephew was Ren Dong, because every time she saw him, it was like seeing Ye Yuan.

Today, she came to find Ren Dong to ask him to beg his father Ren Xingchun again to release Ye Hang.

Who knew Ren Dong would rush off in such a hurry?

Ren Hongling had no choice but to turn back.

…

Cao Fang hobbled along, following a servant into the Elegant Pavilion. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, with this recipe, that old guy Fu Yunjing's face will be priceless! He kept the recipe for Immortal Inscription Jade Brew as if it were a treasure, flaunting it in front of me every day. Let's see how he flaunts it now!" Wu Xuan laughed loudly.

Hearing Ye Yuan mention the recipe, Wu Xuan had finished all six jugs of low-grade Immortal Inscription Jade Brew with Ye Yuan yesterday.

Today, he came to Ye Yuan to get the recipe.

"Old brother, this low-grade Immortal Inscription Jade Brew is nothing special; it can be brewed in just half a month. But the medium-grade brew won't do. If you gather the materials according to the recipe I gave you, in half a year, not to mention Fu Yunjing, even the Guild Leader might come begging you for it." Ye Yuan smiled.

At the mention of medium-grade Immortal Inscription Jade Brew, Wu Xuan's mouth almost watered.

According to Ye Yuan, the taste of medium-grade Immortal Inscription Jade Brew was ten times better than the low-grade!

The low-grade was already so delicious; what would the medium-grade taste like?

Just thinking about it was exciting!

"Young Master Ye Yuan, the third young master of the Cao family is here."

"Mm, let him in. Also, summon the Supreme Elder Tianfeng." Ye Yuan casually ordered.

Cao Fang came before Ye Yuan with a grim expression. He never imagined that Ye Yuan would be on brotherly terms with Master Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan was a Pill Emperor powerhouse, holding a significant position in Wufang City.

Cao Fang himself treated Wu Xuan with the respect of a disciple, yet Ye Yuan was already on brotherly terms with him.

"Ye… Ye Yuan, about yesterday… yesterday, I was wrong! Please… please forgive me!" Cao Fang grimaced and stammered, finally getting the words out.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "You didn't do anything to me, so it's not a matter of forgiveness. As long as Supreme Elder Tianfeng can forgive you, I have nothing to say."

Tit for tat; Ye Yuan was not a petty person. He just wanted to seek justice for Tianfeng.

If Tianfeng had suffered serious harm, Ye Yuan would not have let Cao Fang off easily. But Tianfeng only endured some hardship yesterday without substantial injury. Since Cao Fang came to apologize, this matter could be considered settled.

Of course, it was also because Ye Yuan arrived in time; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

As they spoke, Tianfeng was just summoned out.

"Here comes the main party. Whether he forgives you depends on your sincerity." Ye Yuan said calmly.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Tianfeng immediately understood the situation and looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

A behemoth like the Cao family actually apologized to a mere Pill King like him! For Tianfeng, this was an immense honor.

Cao Fang gritted his teeth and bowed to Tianfeng: "I was impulsive yesterday and offended Elder Tianfeng. Please do not blame me."

Saying this, Cao Fang held up a storage ring and said, "This storage ring contains one hundred thousand high-grade primal crystals and some healing pills. I hope to make up for my mistake yesterday."

Tianfeng glanced at Ye Yuan, and seeing him nod slightly, said, "Forget it, let this matter rest."

Cao Fang was overjoyed and turned to look at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan took the storage ring from Cao Fang and said, "Third Young Master Cao, don't mind my advice. People like Mao Yuanji—you should stay away from them, or one day you'll suffer greatly."

Cao Fang nodded repeatedly and was about to leave when Ren Dong rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Master! I did it, Master!" Ren Dong's voice arrived before he did.

As he spoke, Ren Dong came before Ye Yuan, his face full of excitement: "Master, I did it! I did it! Now can you take me as your disciple?"

"What? You want to take him as your master?"

Hearing Ren Dong's words, Cao Fang was startled: "What? You… you want to take him as your master?"

Ren Dong was also taken aback: "Hey, Cao Fang, why are you here too?"

"I…"

Before Cao Fang could speak, Ren Dong's expression changed: "You're not also thinking of becoming Ye Yuan's disciple, are you? Don't steal my master! Hmph, I'm telling you, even if Master agrees to take you, I'll be your senior brother!"

Cao Fang was dumbfounded by Ren Dong's outburst, his mind short-circuiting.

Ren Dong, who was stronger than him and had a grandfather who was a peak Pill Emperor, actually wanted to become Ye Yuan's disciple?

Ye Yuan laughed and scolded, "What nonsense is this? Cao Fang came for other matters. You say you can do it, but I need to see it to believe it. However, this Elegant Pavilion doesn't seem to have an alchemy room. Old Brother Wu Xuan, may I borrow your alchemy room?"

Wu Xuan was also secretly shocked. A few days ago, Ren Dong was at odds with Ye Yuan, and now he wanted to become his disciple.

Wu Xuan's thoughts were similar to Cao Fang's. Although Ye Yuan's talent seemed monstrous, Ren Dong had a peak Pill Emperor grandfather behind him. Why would he need to take someone else as his master?

Hearing Ye Yuan's question, Wu Xuan nodded and said, "No problem."

Wu Xuan was also curious about how Ye Yuan would test Ren Dong.
