Chapter 1336: Little Tongtian Mountain!

"Impossible! With your strength, how could you be a match for those three old fogies? I don't believe it!"

Feng Ping's gaze hardened, clearly not believing Ye Yuan's words.

He would rather believe that Ye Yuan had escaped their pursuit and fled back to Guishan City.

Obviously, that explanation was much more reasonable.

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "The fact is, I'm standing here now, and their soul lamps have gone out, haven't they? Wang Yuxiang can go to the Yin Wind Cave and inquire to find out if those three were killed."

Wang Yuxiang was destined to go with hope and return with disappointment.

It was quite nice to mess with the Wang family for no reason.

When he said this, Yang Rui couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan, his gaze carrying a hint of shock and a hint of confusion.

He also couldn't figure out how Ye Yuan, a rookie at the initial stage of Dongxuan, had managed to kill the three elders of the Wang family.

Those three were all peak experts of the Dongxuan Divine Realm; below the Kuitian level, almost no one was their match.

Unless Ye Yuan had the strength of the Kuitian Divine Realm, it would be very difficult for him to kill all three of them.

Moreover, they had brought a large number of Wang family experts with them.

He asked Luo Jian, but Luo Jian was also vague, which made Yang Rui even more puzzled.

In Yang Rui's eyes, this guest alchemist was becoming more and more mysterious.

But what reassured him was that Ye Yuan clearly distinguished love from hate.

Even when Luo Jian was on the verge of death from severe injuries, he did not flee alone.

As they say, time reveals a person's heart; over the past ten years, Yang Rui had seen all of Ye Yuan's actions.

In that case, the stronger Ye Yuan became, the better it was for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

"Alas, Elder Feng, we have worked together for many years, but I never expected... that such a day would come!" Yang Rui sighed.

Feng Ping snorted coldly, "Yes! I've worked for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion all my life, only to end up like this! They only hear the laughter of the new, not the weeping of the old! Heh heh!"

"Why do you say that, Elder Feng? Although I have placed great importance on Ye Yuan, I have not neglected you, have I? Whether in terms of spiritual medicines or salary, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has never owed you!" Yang Rui said.

"Hmph! Since it's come to this, there's no need to say more! Kill me or let me live, do as you please!" Feng Ping snorted coldly.

Seeing Feng Ping's stubborn refusal to see reason, Yang Rui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He hadn't expected things to end up like this.

Yang Rui sighed and said, "Luo Jian!"

Luo Jian received the order and darted out like a ghost.

"Ah! Yang Rui, you... you will die a miserable death!" Feng Ping cried out in agony.

In the end, Yang Rui did not kill Feng Ping but instead crippled his divine sea, turning him into a useless person.

Luo Jian escorted Feng Ping away, and Yang Rui looked apologetically at Ye Yuan, saying, "Young friend Ye Yuan, you were alarmed this time! I never expected that there would be a traitor in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. This was my oversight and nearly caused a great disaster! I apologize to you here, young friend Ye Yuan."

By now, Yang Rui no longer thought that Ye Yuan was the useless person who needed to seek help from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Being able to kill the three elders of the Wang family, whatever trump card Ye Yuan had, he likely already had the means to protect himself.

This trump card might even pose a threat to experts of the Kuitian Divine Realm!

Ye Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Pavilion Master, you're being too formal! This matter is entirely Feng Ping's fault; what does it have to do with you? If anyone should apologize, it should be me. If it weren't for me, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wouldn't have encountered such a thing."

Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "Young friend, there's no need for that. Feng Ping has always been the chief alchemist of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, holding a high position and great power, so his true nature never came to light. Even without you, he would have been a hidden danger to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion sooner or later, and it would have erupted at some point!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then thank you, Pavilion Master! You have been as kind to me as a mountain. I have no other strengths, but alchemy is something I can offer. How about this: I will refine a batch of divine-grade pills, and you can use them as a gimmick to attract martial artists in Guishan City."

Yang Rui was overjoyed and laughed, "Then I'll trouble you, young friend!"

Talking to a smart person was easy. With Feng Ping crippled, Yang Rui still had to report to his superiors and request another alchemist to be sent.

During this period, naturally, Ye Yuan would need to take charge.

In fact, even if the higher-ups sent a two-star Divine Alchemist now, it wouldn't be as effective as Ye Yuan.

Could a two-star Divine Alchemist refine divine-grade pills?

After all, in a prefectural city like Guishan City, martial artists of the Dongxuan Divine Realm and ordinary people were the main groups.

...

Over the following period, Guishan City entered a relatively calm phase.

Unexpectedly, despite such heavy losses, the Wang family showed great restraint.

As for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, it entered a period of rapid development.

The introduction of divine-grade pills elevated the reputation of the Guishan City Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to its peak.

Of course, divine-grade pills were not something ordinary people could afford, not even the lowest first-grade low-rank divine pills.

But that didn't hinder the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's rising fame!

During this time, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's business exploded, snatching away most of the business from the three major families.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's glory was unmatched.

As for Ye Yuan himself, after preparing a sufficient quantity of pills, he went into seclusion.

His cultivation had stagnated for a long time; previously, he had no time to improve it. Now that all crises were resolved, he could finally calm down and think about the direction of his future cultivation.

"Kid, you need to think carefully! Comprehending the laws of heaven and earth on the Realm Boundary Stele and creating your own technique is a lengthy process! Perhaps you will comprehend a heaven-defying technique, or perhaps... you will waste a lot of time!"

In the Realm Boundary Stele space, Wuchen made a final attempt to persuade him.

After all, the technique left by the Celestial Forest Heavenly Lord was already extremely heaven-defying, allowing one to cultivate all the way to the peak of the Heavenly Lord realm.

That was a shortcut, but Ye Yuan insisted on not taking it, choosing instead to walk a path of no return.

Ye Yuan's gaze was firm as he said, "Senior, you don't need to persuade me! I said back in the Celestial Forest Domain that I want to walk my own path, no matter how difficult that path may be!"

Wuchen had been with Ye Yuan for a long time and had come to understand his temperament, knowing that further persuasion was useless.

He could only let out a long sigh and say, "You fellow, you always like to go down a path to the end! I want to see if you can be heaven-defying in martial arts as well!"

"Boom..."

In the Realm Boundary Stele space, a massive mountain rose abruptly, piercing into the clouds!

Ye Yuan's pupils contracted, and an unfathomable aura rushed toward him.

So this was the true form of the Realm Boundary Stele!

"Hmm..."

Ye Yuan couldn't help but probe the mountain with his divine sense, but it was as if he had been struck by a tremendous force, instantly severely injuring his soul.

"You kid, you really don't know your limits! The Daoist conception contained in this Little Tongtian Mountain is enough to kill a Heavenly Emperor expert, and you dared to offend it!" Wuchen said.
