74: Chapter 74 The Younger Generation of the Yan Family, Yan Chenyao

Li Yuan nodded at his Senior Brothers' reminders, indicating he understood.

As he agreed, he spoke a few more words.

Even if Yin He managed to successfully train such a Disciple, would it really be considered his own achievement?

In fact, Liang Duqiu and the other Senior Brothers had long considered this question.

"To put it bluntly, Yin He is causing all this trouble just to save face."

"He just wants to find someone to defeat you and suppress you."

"Yin He has a background in the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy."

"As long as it's somewhat justifiable, the people behind him can give him a hand."

Everyone saw through this situation clearly.

After listening, Li Yuan didn't dwell on Yin He's matters.

Let him do as he pleased; he could challenge him however he wanted.

During this time, Li Yuan felt that the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy was truly bloated.

There were connections here and involvements there.

Fortunately, the conduct of the Academy Head and the Instructors was quite good.

If everyone in the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy were like Yin He, who knows what it would become.

Another few days of peaceful cultivation passed.

The martial arts Internal Energy gained from the Secret Realm was all converted into what he needed.

Under the tempering of the Tai Xuan Divine Art, the obtained martial arts Internal Energy had to be refined and purified.

Improvement was slower, but the upper limit was higher.

Li Yuan calculated based on the martial arts experience of several Ninth-Grade Supremes.

His current true strength should not be inferior to the number one Ninth-Grade Supreme of Da Shun.

As for whether he could win, there might still be a question mark.

Forcing a draw should be no problem.

Having clarified this, Li Yuan didn't feel much panic.

He was currently only at the Initial Ninth-Grade and still had enormous potential for improvement.

By calming down to Cultivate and improve, he would surpass other Ninth-Grades sooner or later.

This path of cultivation had already been very smooth for him.

Others in the world couldn't possibly improve as rapidly as he did.

If he didn't even have this much patience, he would cause big trouble eventually.

The sun rose high in the sky.

Recently, he only left his room after getting enough rest.

With his Lotus Physique and Ninth-Grade strength, Li Yuan actually had plenty of energy and physical strength.

But with nothing much to do lately, calming his mind and nurturing his spirit was also a good choice.

Seeing Li Yuan come out, Liang Duqiu and the others immediately stepped forward to talk.

The Yan Family's move had finally come.

At the entrance of the Yin Court, there were piles of medicinal herbs and food ingredients, all sent by the Yan Family.

"Junior Brother, for the Zhai Tian Terrace trial at the beginning of next month, the Yan Family has sent someone."

"They said this is your first chance."

"If you lose, you have to eat those ingredients and soak in those medicinal baths as required..."

Liang Duqiu's face once again wore his signature look of anxiety.

Li Yuan felt that this Senior Brother always had anxiety on his face.

When something good happened, he would temporarily relax for a few days.

But soon, he would be entangled by other troubling matters.

Li Yuan felt that this Senior Brother was truly a natural overthinker.

Li Yuan didn't care about the food or herbs; it was impossible for him to help them test drugs.

Li Yuan was actually more interested in this Zhai Tian Terrace trial.

If it was a sacred trial ground of the Academy, did it also enshrine a deceased Ninth-Grade Senior?

With these questions, Li Yuan continued to talk in detail with Liang Duqiu and the others.

The Yan Family had sent a young junior about the same age as Li Yuan.

Yan Chenyao was the younger sister of Yan Chenzhou, the Reincarnation of the Willow Immortal.

Although she had no special Physique, her talent and potential were also astonishing.

Even within a large Family and powerful force like the Yan Family, she could be described as brilliant.

"If it weren't for a Prodigy like Yan Chenzhou in this generation, Yan Chenyao would probably be the most valued one in the Yan Family."

Beside him, several Senior Brothers were talking about Yan Chenyao's information.

These Senior Brothers really had some skill in gathering information.

Every time something happened, he could always hear a lot of useful news from them.

After finishing with Yan Chenyao, Li Yuan continued to ask about the Zhaiyun Terrace.

Zhaiyun Terrace was also a treasure land under the jurisdiction of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

But Liang Duqiu and the others knew nothing about this treasure land.

Zhaiyun Terrace had not been opened for fifteen years.

If the Yan Family hadn't sent someone for a competition this time, it wouldn't have been opened according to the original plan.

The good news was that in the Zhaiyun Terrace treasure land, the remains of a Ninth-Grade Supreme were also enshrined.

Having confirmed this, Li Yuan had no complaints about the upcoming competition.

It wouldn't hurt to ask about the specific details of the competition when the time came.

After the chat, Li Yuan went to look at the food and herbs that had been sent.

Previously, Li Yuan had obtained a copy of the Heavenly Frost Pharmacopoeia from Senior Emperor Chen.

Li Yuan naturally knew the functions of these ingredients and herbs.

Ninety percent of the items sent were for boosting Qi and blood and strengthening the body.

Taking them in moderation would be beneficial and harmless to the body.

But taking so many food supplements and medicinal baths at once would be excessive and of no benefit to cultivation.

The Yan Family sent these to forcefully increase his physical strength in a short time so that the effects would be more obvious during drug testing.

Li Yuan didn't care what the Yan Family was thinking and directly told his Senior Brothers to divide the herbs and food among themselves.

It would be quite good to use them to nourish their bodies.

If the Yan Family asked, he would take full responsibility.

Facing Li Yuan's kindness, the Senior Brothers hesitated but eventually accepted.

The Senior Brothers were actually very curious why Li Yuan was so bold and had such a temper.

Those who could come to the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy to Cultivate indeed had some background.

But that was the Yan Family, a Family with a Ninth-Grade Supreme.

This time, the ones making demands were from the direct line of the Yan Family, the lineage of the future Family head.

It wasn't some collateral branch trying to pull strings.

Li Yuan being assigned under Yin He should, logically, indicate that the power behind him wasn't too strong...

Though they had many doubts, Liang Duqiu and the others didn't ask.

Five days passed, June arrived, and the weather gradually turned hot.

The Zhai Tian Terrace trial competition mentioned before finally arrived.

During these few days, the Instructors who came to the Yin Court to give guidance all told Li Yuan to find a way to have the expert behind him step forward.

Relying on Li Yuan alone, there was absolutely no way to get out of drug testing.

As for the next three opportunities to prove himself, it was even more unfavorable for Li Yuan.

In the eyes of others, failure was the only possibility for Li Yuan when facing the various proof opportunities arranged by the Yan Family.

That Yan Chenyao was someone who could compete for the top three in Class A at the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Li Yuan was indeed not bad, having seized a Class B ranking right after entering the Academy.

A ranking of fifteen was also very excellent.

But the Class A ranking was on another level.

The bottom of the Class A ranking was far stronger than the first place in the Class B ranking.

The competition hadn't taken place yet, and the matter hadn't progressed further.

The suggestions from several Instructors were also well-founded.

If he found someone to negotiate now, there was still a chance to have a good talk with the Yan Family.

But if he participated in the competition and lost,

then finding someone to talk to the Yan Family would be twice as difficult.

The Yan Family would use the result as leverage.

What could have been negotiated might become impossible.
