Chapter 1961 - Take Care of One's Pride

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the vast region, countless gazes landed on Ye Futian. He did not know how to concoct pills?

Also, Ye Futian claimed that he had only been concocting pills for a short while. Was he toying with Alchemy Divine Palace?

Zi He stood there speechless. As an alchemy master, he naturally could tell the grade of a pill. He could sense what grade the pill that Ye Futian concocted was at. The pill that Ye Futian concocted was most likely on par with the one that Zi He came up with. However, Ye Futian was only a fourth-tier Renhuang.

Could it be that this fellow had a flawless Divine Wheel, and his Way was without any blemish?

On top of Zi He, there were many other cultivators who were mavens present. From a glance, they could tell that Ye Futian’s skill of refining pills was extraordinary. Now that Ye Futian had demonstrated his skill, it was indeed proven that none of the alchemy masters present at the Alchemy Conference were comparable to him. Even Grandmaster Zi He would most likely pale into insignificance when compared to Ye Futian.

Since when did such a young alchemy grandmaster arise?

Concocting pills was a time-consuming process. It was rare to encounter a young and skillful alchemy grandmaster. Qi Mu of Alchemy Divine Palace was an exception. His talent was one in a million. However, yet another exceptional alchemy master had appeared now.

All the cultivators, who were proficient in concocting pills, from Donghua Domain were gathered in Alchemy Divine Palace?

If that was the case, how about this youth?

Let alone the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace, even the cultivators from Taiyuan Continent, who accompanied Alchemy Emperor on his trip, were stunned. Before this, they had asked Ye Futian before whether or not he was proficient in concocting pills. Ye Futian told them that he had a rudimentary understanding of the matter and wasn’t really good at it. Was this what he meant by being ‘not very good at it’?

Ye Futian merely concocted a pill casually, and the result was a pill of this grade. Was this what he called “a rudimentary understanding?” How would those elderly cultivators, who had devoted their lives to concocting pills, think of this?

Ye Futian was the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai, a cultivator who had trained on Eastern Deity Island!

The cultivators from Taiyuan Continent thought of Ye Futian’s identity. The descendent of Supreme Deity Donglai had personally led him here. From the looks of it, their judgment of Ye Futian had been clouded due to their prejudice towards him. If Ye Futian was really an ordinary cultivator, would Goddess Donglai have brought him here? Moreover, Goddess Donglai was prepared to introduce him to the Millet Emperor.

Based on the current situation, it seemed like they had come prepared.

Of course, the cultivators from Taiyuan Continent would not tell the rest Ye Futian’s identity. The cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace were pompous, and they looked down on other alchemy factions in the Donghua Domain. They disdained even the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor. Ye Futian’s action this time was considered delivering a lesson to them.

The cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace ought to know that their place was not the only place where powerful alchemy grandmasters could be found.

“Who are you?” asked Qi Mu from Alchemy Divine Palace while looking at Ye Futian. Qi Mu’s temperament was good, and he was well-mannered. He didn’t reveal any hint of malice; he was purely curious about Ye Futian.

Ye Futian visited the place along with the disciples of Alchemy Emperor. It would be common if Ye Futian said that he was the heir of Alchemy Emperor. However, Ye Futian had denied that. If so, what was his identity?

With Ye Futian’s skill in concocting pills, most likely very few people could contend with him even in Alchemy Divine Palace.

“I’m Ye Liunian, a fledgling alchemy master,” Ye Futian responded with a smile.

“Ye Liunian,” Qi Mu mumbled. “You must be joking. With such superb skills in refining pills, I am sure you must have devoted yourself in this area for many years. Alchemy Emperor is a top alchemy grandmaster whom I have always admired. It is normal for the Emperor to have an heir like you.”

Qi Mu’s words were aimed to feel Ye Futian out. Qi Mu held on to his speculation that Ye Futian was a disciple of Alchemy Emperor. It was just that Ye Futian did not admit it before this. Hence, when Qi Mu talked to Ye Futian this time, his eyes were locked onto Ye Futian’s. Qi Mu wanted to see how Ye Futian would reply to him.

“Regardless of whether you believe or not, I have indeed only started concocting pills for a short period of time. I came in contact with the art just a few years ago. I am also not a disciple of Alchemy Emperor,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. He knew that the other party was curious, but he did not reveal anything, leaving them to their own speculation.

“Are you interested in joining Alchemy Divine Palace to cultivate?” Qi Mu asked. “Now, in the Donghua Domain, Alchemy Divine Palace is considered the top holy land for concocting pills. In Alchemy Divine Palace, your pill-concocting ability will be fully developed.”

Ye Futian revealed a strange look. Was this Qi Mu inviting impressive alchemy masters to join Alchemy Divine Palace whenever he came across them?

Before this, Zi He had extended him an invitation. Now, Qi Mu was also doing the same.

Ye Futian felt that the way Qi Mu phrased his invitation sounded weird. Alchemy Divine Palace would fully develop his talent?

“Qi Mu, from your tone, you make it seem as though that Alchemy Divine Palace has cultivated many more alchemy masters with superior abilities compared to him,” said Lin Qiu with a smile beside them. “Fully develop his talent? How many people in Alchemy Divine Palace have pill-concocting ability that can compare to him? Why does he need to join Alchemy Divine Palace?”

Lin Qiu already knew Ye Futian’s identity. His previous speculation had not been off the mark.

Ye Futian was not from the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor on the Taiyuan Continent. He was from Eastern Deity Island in the Penglai Continent.

That maiden was the descendent of Supreme Deity Donglai.

Ye Futian might be her disciple and might have received the teachings passed down from Supreme Deity Donglai. Supreme Deity Donglai was the top alchemy grandmaster in the Donghua Domain back when he was alive. Would his heir need to be enrolled in Alchemy Divine Palace to learn the art of concocting pills?

This Qi Mu actually claimed that Ye Futian should join Alchemy Divine Palace not to waste his talents. Only God knew where Qi Mu gained his confidence from.

Even up until this moment, Qi Mu seemed to bear an air of superiority. He believed that the Alchemy Divine Palace was the best holy land for concocting pills in the Donghua Domain. Hence, all the powerful alchemy grandmasters had to join the Palace.

“Aside from Alchemy Divine Palace, it is very difficult for other forces to help him improve his pill-concocting ability to the next level,” Qi Mu calmly replied, ignoring the mocking tone in Lin Qiu’s voice. He looked at Ye Futian and said, “Although not many people in Alchemy Divine Palace have greater attainments in concocting pills compared to you, we still have many incredible alchemy grandmasters. You can exchange ideas with them. In the future, we can also regularly have discussions on the methods of concocting pills.”

On the ancient mountain, an elder who had come here said, “Ye Liunian, if you are willing to join Alchemy Divine Palace, we can provide you with the best resources for cultivation. We can even ask the Palace Lord to personally instruct you in concocting pills. How about it?”

Ye Futian looked at the other party. These people were courteous. Ye Futian originally had concocted the pill to challenge Alchemy Divine Palace. Yet, after seeing the level of his pill-concocting ability, they had actually offered him invitations one after another. They wanted him to join Alchemy Divine Palace to cultivate and had not viewed him with animosity.

Most of the time, their animosity towards each other was due to their different stances. If Ye Futian joined Alchemy Divine Palace, he would naturally be on the same side as the other party.

“Although the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor has Alchemy Emperor to hold the fort, it is still not considered the true holy land for concocting pills. It lacks the resources. Alchemy Divine Palace is the most suitable place for you. With your level of pill-concocting ability, you should not miss this opportunity,” another person said. This caused the people in the space to reveal strange expressions.

Their academic discussion had descended into poaching Ye Futian.

They wanted to undermine the members of Alchemy Emperor and get Ye Futian to join their Alchemy Divine Palace to cultivate.

“Everyone, your suggestions are quite moving. However, I am not that interested,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. He rejected the other party’s invitation directly. Why would he join Alchemy Divine Palace to cultivate? Setting aside his relationship with Alchemy Emperor, Ye Futian was originally from Eastern Deity Island. He was the Eastern Deity Island second Island Lord and the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai. How could he join Alchemy Divine Palace?

The members of Alchemy Divine Palace were also somewhat full of themselves and looked too highly upon themselves. They believed that Alchemy Divine Palace was the most powerful holy land for concocting pills. It was as though missing this opportunity to join them would be a huge loss. He might learn many things if he joined Alchemy Divine Palace, but Ye Futian did not believe that he had the energy to focus on this. The inheritance that Supreme Deity Donglai gave him was already sufficient.

Ye Futian rejected Qi Mu’s offer!

It seemed like Alchemy Divine Palace had failed to recruit him.

Qi Mu saw that Ye Futian had rejected them. He looked at Ye Futian and asked, “Since that is the case, please concoct your best pill, sir. Why don’t we compare our work?”

Since Ye Futian was unwilling to join Alchemy Divine Palace, he was here to stir up trouble and to prevent their Alchemy Conference from wrapping up. If so, Qi Mu would make his move and compare his work with Ye Futian.

Countless gazes looked over in their direction. Many people revealed excited looks. The top alchemy genius figure of Alchemy Divine Palace was personally stepping out. What grade would the pill he concocted be at? If Ye Futian went all in, how would the pills that the two of them concocted compare?

However, Ye Futian merely cast an indifferent glance at the other party and answered, “I’m not interested.” As he said this, he immediately turned and left.

Before this, he was forced to concoct pills by the other party. To appease them, he had to do it.

Now, Qi Mu wanted to compare works with him? When would this end?

Qi Mu frowned. Numerous cultivators from Alchemy Divine Palace unleashed their auras. Lin Qiu and his group took a step forward. As he scanned the crowd, he said, “What’s happening now? Could it be that the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace are bad at alchemy and are now prepared to forcefully make others stay?”

“Let them leave,” ordered the elder of Alchemy Divine Palace, who stood on the ancient mountain. Immediately, many cultivators retracted their auras and allowed Ye Futian’s group to leave. They had no reason to keep Ye Futian and his group around today. Countless people were watching the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace. If they forcefully made Ye Futian stay, they would only bring shame onto Alchemy Divine Palace.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian said to his companions. His group turned around and walked towards the exit.

“Is your ability in concocting pills really strong? Aren’t they weak?” asked Beigong Shuang ‘innocently’ as they were leaving. When the crowd heard her comment, countless cultivators had their eyes dead set on her. Those alchemy grandmasters itched to seize Beigong Shuang and give her a good beating. Didn’t this girl understand the etiquette of taking care of the pride of others?

Why would she humiliate them before she left?

Ye Futian glanced at Beigong Shuang, speechless.

“In the future, I shall visit you. We can learn the Way of Alchemy from each other.” Qi Mu’s voice sounded from afar and was transmitted into Ye Futian’s ears. Clearly, the other party did not plan to leave this be!
