72: Chapter 72 He is the reincarnation of Liu Xian

On the training grounds, a group of people dressed in luxurious robes were already waiting.

The leader was a long-bearded old man with a trace of arrogance on his face.

Even though most people in the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy had influential backgrounds, this group still maintained a high-and-mighty demeanor.

The sweeping old man Li Yuan had previously encountered in the Secret Realm was also there.

He stood right beside the long-bearded old man.

Coming from a power backed by a Ninth-Grade Supreme, their internal confidence was indeed different.

Opposite this group, the mid-to-high-level management of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy stood in confrontation, their expressions solemn.

On the periphery of the training grounds, quite a few Disciples had come to watch after hearing the news.

Once the people from the Yin Court arrived at the training grounds, the day's official business began.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, the long-bearded leader of the Yan Family stood up from his chair.

His gaze fell upon Li Yuan, scanning him from head to toe.

After the scan, he stroked his long beard, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

“Healthy body, excellent condition—this is indeed the state a New Wood Physique should have.”

As he spoke, the long-bearded old man took a few more steps forward.

“I am Yan Chang, the head of the Yan Family's Second Branch.

I have come today to make some arrangements for you.”

Yan Chang spoke while drawing closer to Li Yuan.

He was not a member of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, but he acted as if he owned the place.

“Before the Drug Trials, you need to make some preparations.

Here is a list; take it later and follow the diet specified on it.

For the next three months, you are not permitted to engage in any cultivation or training.

Nurture your body well to adapt to the requirements of the Drug Trials.”

Yan Chang spoke with complete composure, as if Li Yuan were a servant or slave of the Yan Family to be ordered around at will.

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

When a person is truly speechless, they really do feel like laughing.

“I'm sorry, I have no interest in helping anyone...”

Li Yuan prepared to give a direct refusal.

However, before he could finish, Yan Chang interrupted him.

“Don't speak yet. I haven't finished stating my requirements. Listen carefully; it would be a hassle if you forgot and had to ask again later.”

In Yan Chang's mind, helping with the Drug Trials seemed to be a settled matter.

There was no need to ask for Li Yuan's opinion; they had already decided.

“Besides the diet and the cessation of cultivation, there are medicinal baths.

The relevant medicinal ingredients have been prepared for you. You will take a medicinal bath once every three days, soaking your entire body for at least two hours.”

After Yan Chang finished, he looked back at the other Yan family members. “Have I finished stating the requirements for the Drug Trials?”

Upon receiving a confirming answer, a look of satisfaction appeared on Yan Chang's face.

At the same time, he had no intention of listening to Li Yuan speak further.

He turned his head to look at the Academy Dean and the others.

“Dean Guo, I'll have to trouble you to oversee these matters.

After these Drug Trials, that child Chenzhou should experience a massive improvement.

Speaking of which, it truly is a blessing from the heavens.

For so many years, we couldn't find anyone with the New Wood Physique no matter how hard we looked.

The clan was already considering giving up, but who would have thought that good luck would turn around and come our way?”

As Yan Chang spoke, he even let out a few foolish laughs.

These self-important 'superiors' seemed to have settled Li Yuan's matters entirely during their conversation.

Li Yuan turned his head to look at the high-ranking Academy Dean and the group of Instructors.

Their brows were furrowed; they did not agree with Yan Chang's arrangements.

Yet, it seemed they didn't know how to voice a refusal.

Faced with the requirements Yan Chang proposed, they wanted to refuse but had some hidden difficulty.

Clearly, the Academy had some unspeakable reason for being unable to oppose the Yan Family.

The Yan Family was a great clan that possessed a Ninth-Grade Supreme, and that Ninth-Grade Supreme's strength and status were among the top even within the Ninth Grade.

The Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy held an extraordinary status, but it still had to be wary of the Yan Family's position.

Not just the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy—even the Imperial Court had to give the Yan Family face.

Seeing this, Li Yuan didn't wait for his Academy Seniors to speak up.

He had his own objections, and there was no need to hide them.

Stepping forward, Li Yuan stood directly in the center of the training grounds.

“Seniors, I came to this Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy to Cultivate and improve. I have paid resources and Tuition.

I didn't come to the Academy to let myself be taken advantage of.

This Yan Family has shown me no kindness, so I have no interest in helping them.”

Li Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but as he spoke, the surroundings were very quiet, so everyone heard him clearly.

The group of young peers felt their hair stand on end upon hearing this.

One must know that the Yan Family was the Family of a Ninth-Grade Supreme.

To speak like that in front of so many people was to directly offend the Yan Family.

The Academy's management and the people from the Yan Family were also shocked.

None of them expected a young man like Li Yuan to dare to speak this way.

Most Disciples became extremely cautious and nervous at the mere mention of the Yan Family.

Even if they were unwilling to help with the Drug Trials, they would speak with extreme care for fear of offending the Yan Family.

This young man before them, however, spoke with absolute composure.

He wasn't afraid at all that the Yan family members would be displeased by his words.

After a moment of silence, Yan Chang, the white-bearded old man, burst into laughter.

“If I'm not mistaken, you must be a Newcomer to the world with very little experience.

Our Yan Family junior, Yan Chenzhou, is the Reincarnation of the Willow Immortal.

He is different from you; not only does he possess the New Wood Physique, but he also has the talent and potential inherited from the Willow Immortal.

In sixty years, he is an existence capable of reaching the Ninth-Grade Supreme realm!”

Yan Chang stood before the crowd, boasting about how outstanding their Yan Family's Yan Chenzhou was.

The Reincarnation of the Willow Immortal certainly sounded intimidating.

But Li Yuan knew that such words were just grand titles people gave themselves.

As long as they were willing, any Prodigy or Genius could give themselves some 'Reincarnation' title.

Furthermore, even if he truly was the Reincarnation of an Immortal, what did that have to do with him?

As soon as Yan Chang finished speaking, Li Yuan immediately replied: “Regardless of which Immortal he is the Reincarnation of, I have no interest in helping you.

There's no need to bark orders and make arrangements in front of me.”

This time, the people from the Yan Family finally understood.

The young man before them was somewhat arrogant and conceited.

To think he was actually unwilling to test drugs for Yan Chenzhou.

Without hesitation, the white-bearded old man Yan Chang took another step forward.

“Young man, do you know how many people in this world are scrambling and fighting to establish a connection with our Yan Family?

That child Yan Chenzhou will step into the Ninth-Grade realm in the future.

As someone who once tested drugs for him, this will be the glory of your lifetime!”

Helping with Drug Trials just for this bullshit glory...

Li Yuan felt like laughing as he listened.

Regarding Drug Trials, Li Yuan had already understood them clearly from the many martial arts experiences he had gained.

Drug testing involved gradually increasing the medicinal properties until the critical point where problems occurred was found.

In other words, for Li Yuan to help this Yan Chenzhou test drugs, he would have to test them until he was poisoned.

Drug testing was extremely damaging to the physical body.

For most people, Drug Trials would sever their path of cultivation.

For a few, it wasn't just severing the path of cultivation, but being left crippled.

Yan Chang and his people spoke as if it were only natural, yet they intended to ruin him.
