91: Chapter 91: The First Display of the Alchemy System, Yang Wudi's Gratitude
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yang Lie became interested, curious about what Yun Yuan wanted to discuss with him later.
It seemed they had no prior connection, and furthermore, everything the Breaking Clan possessed, the Spirit Hall also had. After much thought, Patriarch Yang Lie really couldn't think of anything the Breaking Clan had that Yun Yuan could possibly covet.
Surely, Yun Yuan couldn't be wanting to poach the entire Breaking Clan, right?
Sensing the curious gazes of Patriarch Yang Lie and Yang Wudi, Yun Yuan gave a light cough. He wasn't in a hurry to get straight to the point, intending instead to first pique their curiosity.
"Clan Chief Yang, I have heard that your Breaking Clan is a family of Medicine Refining experts. This Junior happens to have some attainments in Alchemy, so I have come today specifically to discuss the Dao of Alchemy with you."
"Oh, I see. Saint Yun Yuan, then let us enter my Breaking Clan's Pill Refining Room to discuss it."
Knowing Yun Yuan's purpose this time, Patriarch Yang Lie did not refuse. His recent exchange with Yun Yuan had made him involuntarily begin to respect this opponent who, despite his young age, possessed terrifying combat power.
Following this, Patriarch Yang Lie led Yun Yuan into their Breaking Clan's territory and went straight to a massive Pill Refining Room.
"Haha, Saint Yun Yuan, although I, Patriarch Yang Lie, cannot compare to you in combat power, when it comes to attainments in Alchemy, I don't believe anyone other than that person from the Tiandou Ye Clan can match me."
"You may discuss it with me freely; I will certainly tell you everything I know."
After arriving at the Pill Refining Room, Patriarch Yang Lie patted Yun Yuan on the shoulder, laughing heartily as he made his promise to him.
For this Genius whose Spirit was a spear and who also understood Alchemy, Patriarch Yang Lie couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent.
If only this Yun Yuan were a member of his Breaking Clan; he would be a perfect match for them.
"Clan Chief Yang, do not underestimate me. Let me show you my Alchemy methods in a moment."
Seeing Patriarch Yang Lie make such a promise, a hint of goodwill grew in Yun Yuan's heart. They were indeed practitioners of the spear, completely different from those who practiced with hammers.
Next, Yun Yuan began to recount his achievements in Alchemy over the past few years, including the Alchemy System he had only recently perfected.
Inside the Breaking Clan's Pill Refining Room, as time passed, the father-son pair of Patriarch Yang Lie and Yang Wudi stood silently to the side, eyes wide and mouths agape, listening to Yun Yuan explain his Alchemy System.
Wait, what was it that Yun Yuan just said? First-grade to immortal grade pills, Soul Ascension Pills, healing pills...
Patriarch Yang Lie had never even heard of these, let alone been able to offer guidance to Yun Yuan. By the end, Patriarch Yang Lie was constantly wiping sweat from his forehead with his arm; clearly, his worldview had suffered a heavy blow.
But the shock left for them was not over yet. Immediately after, Yun Yuan began selecting medicinal herbs in the Breaking Clan's Pill Refining Room, intending to refine the most commonly used and most tempting Soul Ascension Pill.
"Clan Chief Yang, what Rank has that Genius of the Breaking Clan beside you reached now?"
Regarding Yun Yuan's inquiry, Yang Wudi stepped forward first and spoke slowly:
"Saint Yun Yuan, my Soul Power Rank has reached Rank 59."
"Rank 59? That's just right."
The Breaking Clan's Pill Refining Room naturally contained a sufficient quantity and variety of medicinal herbs, and among these herbs were those needed to refine a sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill.
Under their puzzled gazes, Yun Yuan first took some herbs and went to the Pill Furnace, beginning to refine a sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill.
Seeing this, Yang Wudi swallowed hard and looked at his father, Patriarch Yang Lie, beside him, unable to help but say:
"Father, Saint Yun Yuan isn't actually going to refine those Medicinal Pills he just mentioned, right? That would be too inconceivable."
Regarding what Yun Yuan had just said, both father and son were actually half-doubting, because it was simply too shocking to their worldviews.
They didn't quite believe that a Spirit Master so young could actually perfect an Alchemy System.
But now, Yun Yuan was refining the pill himself, and it was gradually shattering their worldviews. The moment the pill was successfully formed would be the moment their worldviews were completely shattered.
"Wudi, don't speak for now. Wait until he finishes refining. Perhaps we are witnessing the arrival of another era in the Spirit Master's world."
As an Alchemist with a certain level of attainment, Patriarch Yang Lie knew better than anyone what kind of turmoil what Yun Yuan was doing now would cause in the Spirit Master's world.
Ten minutes later, waves of pill fragrance wafted from the Pill Furnace, signifying that the sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill Yun Yuan was refining was about to take form.
The fire in the Pill Furnace died down, and Yun Yuan took out the sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill he had refined. The pill fragrance immediately permeated the entire Pill Refining Room.
"Here, take it and try it."
Yun Yuan handed the sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill in his hand to Yang Wudi, signaling for him to consume it.
Looking at the fragrant Soul Ascension Pill in his hand, Yang Wudi couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes filled with desire for the Soul Ascension Pill.
"This... are you really giving this to me? We seem to be mere strangers; we have no relationship, right?"
Yang Wudi was silent for a moment, curbing the desire in his heart, and spoke to ask Yun Yuan.
To this, Yun Yuan merely smiled slightly, looking at Yang Wudi and Patriarch Yang Lie.
"Just because we don't now, doesn't mean we won't in the future."
"Just consume it. If you truly feel indebted, you can repay me with treasures of equal value in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi no longer hesitated. He took the sixth-grade Soul Ascension Pill in his hand and shoved it into his mouth.
Following this, he sat cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power within the pill. Half an hour later, the aura on his body rose slightly.
Not long after, he slowly opened his eyes, unable to hide the excitement and agitation within them. He came before Yun Yuan, bowed his head slightly, and cupped his hands toward Yun Yuan.
"Saint Yun Yuan, the favor you have shown me in helping me achieve a Breakthrough to Spirit Emperor is something I, Yang Wudi, will repay one day."
Yang Wudi's gaze was extremely firm, his eyes full of gratitude toward Yun Yuan.
"Good, I will wait for that day."
After responding to Yang Wudi, Yun Yuan turned his gaze to Patriarch Yang Lie beside Yang Wudi.
"Clan Chief Yang, what do you think of my Alchemy System? You must be able to guess my purpose for coming here today by now: it is to invite your Breaking Clan to join our Spirit Hall."
"I might as well tell you that our Spirit Hall is about to establish a Pill Hall, and I, Yun Yuan, am the Pill Hall Master. If your Breaking Clan joins my Pill Hall, I guarantee I will give you the best treatment."
"Resources, knowledge of the Alchemy System, a certain degree of freedom—your Breaking Clan will have all of these."
After Yun Yuan finished speaking, the Pill Refining Room fell into a silence. None of the three spoke; meanwhile, both Yang Wudi and Yun Yuan cast their gazes toward Patriarch Yang Lie.
Needless to say, Yun Yuan very much hoped that the Breaking Clan would be able to join the Spirit Hall. As for Yang Wudi, he was full of anticipation; he was clearly very willing to join the Spirit Hall.
But all of this required a decision from this leader of the Breaking Clan before them.
"Saint Yun Yuan, I... I cannot be an unrighteous and disloyal person. Since we have already joined the Clear Sky Sect, I must not betray my trust."
"Your invitation, I, Patriarch Yang Lie, refuse."
