Chapter 544: Master Ye

A great building rises from the ground!

Ye Yuan's attainment of the pinnacle of the Alchemy Emperor realm was by no means a matter of luck.

His solid foundation in the Dao of Alchemy could put everyone to shame, let alone these alchemists whose highest cultivation was at the Alchemy King realm.

Ye Yuan's explanation was profound yet easy to understand, giving those alchemists a sense of sudden enlightenment.

After listening, these alchemists realized that they had been like a big sieve all along.

Walking while leaking.

By the time they reached their current realm, they had already missed countless things.

After hearing Ye Yuan's lecture, they wished they could immediately go back and re-refine first-grade pills, systematically studying everything anew!

With Ye Yuan's level of attainment, expounding these basic theories was enough to greatly benefit these people.

At first, the great hall was somewhat noisy.

But later, the entire hall fell into dead silence, with only Ye Yuan's voice echoing.

Those alchemists, including Cao Zheng who had come with the intention of merely observing, had all become devout believers.

Expressions of 'So that's how it is' frequently appeared on their faces.

Alright, today's lecture ends here. Now it's question time. I can answer ten of your questions. Let's begin.

Ye Yuan's calm voice rang out, snapping everyone back to reality.

Many people still had looks of lingering aftertaste, clearly not yet recovered from Ye Yuan's lecture.

It was then that they suddenly realized that the one giving them the lecture was merely a seventeen-year-old youth!

How monstrous must this youth be, to have such a profound understanding of first-grade pills!

Compared to Ye Yuan's lecture just now, the Compendium of Materia Medica seemed like child's play, too superficial!

They couldn't understand how a seventeen-year-old youth could have reached such a level of understanding in the Dao of Alchemy.

Master Ye, I have a question!

An Alchemy King was the first to react, raising his hand.

And in his mouth, Ye Yuan had already become 'Master Ye'.

Seeing the Alchemy King raise his hand, everyone inwardly regretted missing such a precious opportunity for答疑解惑.

But they all secretly resolved to be the first to raise their hands next time!

At this moment, Ren Dong had already stepped onto the platform to help Ye Yuan maintain order.

He had been listening below the stage earlier and had also benefited greatly.

These days, he had been studying first-grade pills all along, and under Ye Yuan's guidance, he had already cultivated the Great Formless Art to the legendary realm.

Ren Dong felt that his understanding of first-grade pills was already quite good.

But after hearing Ye Yuan's lecture today, he realized that he had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. Although first-grade pills were simple, there was still so much for him to explore.

Now standing on the platform helping Ye Yuan maintain order, hearing these people address him as 'Master Ye' one after another, he felt an indescribable pride.

He had made the right choice in taking this master!

Although Ye Yuan was his cousin, the gap between them was too great.

You there, ask away!

Hearing Ren Dong's words, the Alchemy King hesitated and didn't speak for a moment.

Ren Dong said discontentedly, 'Do you have a question or not? If not, let someone else! Master's time is precious; I don't have time to waste with you here.'

Only then did the Alchemy King hesitantly say, 'Master Ye, my question is about fourth-grade pills. I wonder...'

Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, 'It's fine, go ahead.'

This person was obviously afraid that Ye Yuan couldn't answer a question about fourth-grade pills, and the question didn't quite match the lecture content, hence his hesitation.

Hearing this, the Alchemy King was overjoyed and said, 'Master Ye, I've recently encountered a problem when refining Phoenix Flame Pills. Phoenix Grass and Bamboo Silk Green Yellow never perfectly fuse together, preventing me from improving the success rate and quality of my pill refinement. I've tried countless methods but can't solve this problem. Please enlighten me, Master Ye.'

When the Alchemy King asked his question, he was as devout as a student asking a teacher.

However, no one questioned his attitude.

Ye Yuan had already convinced everyone with his profound knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy.

Among those present, many were the ones who had witnessed Ye Yuan challenge the Thousand Questions Wall last time.

They had no doubt that Ye Yuan could answer an Alchemy King's question.

Unfortunately, this Alchemy King had not been there last time, so he still had some doubts about Ye Yuan's ability.

After all, no matter how thoroughly you studied first-grade pills, it had nothing to do with fourth-grade pills.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan blurted out, 'Phoenix Grass and Bamboo Silk Green Yellow have conflicting properties. If you forcibly blend them together, they naturally cannot perfectly fuse. When you refine Phoenix Flame Pills, do you feel about a quarter of an hour before pill formation that you can't control the heat, and the pill is about to jump out of your palm?'

The Alchemy King's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice, repeatedly saying, 'Yes, yes, that's it! Master Ye is truly a divine being! You even know when I have problems, as if you saw it with your own eyes! May I ask, Master, why is that? Is there a way to solve it?'

Seeing this, everyone showed expressions of admiration.

Based solely on the Alchemy King's simple description, Ye Yuan could guess when he had problems during pill refinement, and even pinpointed the time so accurately—this was simply miraculous!

Even a peak Alchemy King, without witnessing it personally, probably couldn't make such a judgment, right?

Ye Yuan said calmly, 'Isn't there another ingredient in the Phoenix Flame Pill called Wood Immortal Root? I suppose you've been ignoring its existence in your refinement, right?'

The Alchemy King was stunned and nodded, 'Master is perceptive! Does this Wood Immortal Root have some special effect? I've thought about it before, but after trying several times without solving the problem, I assumed it was useless.'

Ye Yuan smiled and said, 'The formation of a pill formula is the result of countless refinements. Every pill formula is the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors. As long as the formula is correct, how could any ingredient be useless? When refining Phoenix Flame Pills, the Wood Immortal Root indeed plays a minor role, but to refine high-quality Phoenix Flame Pills, its role is indispensable...'

Ye Yuan spoke eloquently, explaining in detail the method of refining the Wood Immortal Root.

The Alchemy King grew more excited as he listened, and by the end, he was almost jumping for joy.

After Ye Yuan finished, the Alchemy King bowed deeply and said, 'Thank you for your guidance, Master Ye. Yan Mu is deeply grateful!'

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, 'Next.'

'Master, I have a question!'

'Master Ye, I also have a question!'

'Master, and me!'

'Me!'

'...'
