Chapter 1769: News of Bai Guang

Having received the inheritance of the Saint Ancestor High Priest, Ye Yuan's attainments in the Demon God Pill advanced by leaps and bounds.

This inheritance was extremely precious to Ye Yuan.

A few years later, Ye Yuan's mastery of the Demon God Pill reached its peak.

At the same time, his alchemy strength had also improved considerably.

During this period, the temple gathered some eighth- and ninth-grade medicinal herbs, and Ye Yuan stepped in to refine them.

Moreover, the resulting Demon God Pills were at least of divine grade.

The high-ranking members of the Priest Temple were naturally greatly shaken by this.

Especially Di Qiu, who had initially refused to believe that Ye Yuan could create much value within three hundred years.

But now, he finally realized how terribly wrong he had been.

One day, Di Qiu summoned Ye Yuan and began by apologizing.

"Haha, Ye Yuan, I apologize for what happened that day! You have fulfilled your promise, and now it seems our temple has gained greatly." Di Qiu laughed heartily.

Di Qiu was straightforward in character and did not hesitate to admit his mistake.

Given his status, it was no easy feat to do so.

Although he had wanted to kill Ye Yuan that day, Ye Yuan could understand Di Qiu's thoughts.

After all, he still carried the blood of the human race.

For an alchemist who had never been exposed to the Demon God Pill, three hundred years was indeed not long.

So he smiled and said, "Lord Temple Master, there's no need for that. I know my request that day was indeed somewhat abrupt."

Di Qiu laughed heartily and said, "Good lad, I knew you weren't petty! Returning a favor with a favor—I called you here today because I've made some progress on the matter you entrusted to me."

Ye Yuan shuddered all over and asked with concern, "He... is he alright?"

But Di Qiu frowned, causing Ye Yuan's heart to clench suddenly.

"Whether he's alright or not, I can't say. But... I'm afraid it's more bad than good." Di Qiu said.

Ye Yuan's face turned deathly pale, and Di Qiu did not keep him in suspense, explaining the whole story from beginning to end.

Finding someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but even in the Demon God Domain, pure White Tiger bloodline was extremely rare.

The Priest Temple, as one of the most powerful forces among the demon race, finally found news of Bai Guang within a few years using the information Ye Yuan provided.

It turned out that Bai Guang had been living in Huben Imperial City all these years.

Huben Imperial City could be said to be a gathering place for the Tiger Clan, with many tiger clan experts within the city.

In the Tongtian Realm, the White Tiger Clan's bloodline was also extremely noble.

So after arriving in the Tongtian Realm, Bai Guang's cultivation speed was actually not slow.

But compared to Ye Yuan, it was still much slower.

However, upon arriving in the demon race's Huben Imperial City, he became an indispensable young expert of the city by virtue of his bloodline talent and strength.

Yet Huben Imperial City was different from Bayuan Imperial City.

Near Huben Imperial City, in the Tianyao Mountain Range, there was a very powerful force, and the two sides often clashed.

Not long ago, Huben Imperial City had another skirmish with that force.

And Bai Guang participated in that operation.

Bai Guang, together with another young genius from Huben Imperial City, severely wounded the enemy leader, leaving him on the verge of death.

No one expected that the wounded leader was the son of Tianhu King, the chief of that force.

This stirred up a huge hornet's nest.

Enraged, Tianhu King dispatched all his ferocious beasts, surrounding Huben Imperial City tightly.

Unfortunately, Tianhu King's strength surpassed even the city lord of Huben Imperial City.

After the two sides clashed, Tianhu King wounded the city lord and threatened to massacre the city if the perpetrator was not handed over.

Thus, Bai Guang stepped forward voluntarily.

Tianhu King took Bai Guang away and then withdrew the beast tide.

Di Qiu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, you brothers are both men of honor. In fact, it wasn't Bai Guang who wounded Tianhu King's son. But he and Heitong were close brothers, so he stepped forward voluntarily to bear the punishment in Heitong's place."

Ye Yuan frowned and asked, "How long ago was this?"

Di Qiu said, "It happened a few months ago. But... I've heard of Tianhu King's reputation; he is extremely ruthless. If he hadn't had some concerns, he might have actually massacred the city. Your brother Bai Guang is in grave danger!"

Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he cupped his hands to Di Qiu, saying, "Lord Temple Master, there's no time to lose. I'll set off now for Huben Imperial City!"

Di Qiu did not stop him and said, "There are teleportation arrays between the Priest Temples; you can go through them."

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Then I thank Lord Temple Master!"

Imperial cities were mostly independent of each other, and generally there were no teleportation arrays.

Like the relationship between Tianying Imperial City and Zhining Imperial City back then, having a teleportation array would be tantamount to self-destruction.

But the demon race's Priest Temples were spread across every imperial city, and it was permissible for them to build small teleportation arrays internally.

Of course, this teleportation array had strict usage regulations; outsiders were absolutely forbidden to use it.

...

Through the teleportation array, a journey that would have taken several years took Ye Yuan only half a month to reach Huben Imperial City.

"Ye Yuan pays respects to Lord Jinhua!"

As he emerged from the teleportation array, a man in a temple master's robe came forward to greet him.

Ye Yuan naturally understood and bowed to him.

Although Di Qiu did not say that Ye Yuan had passed the Mo Wen, his message hinted at Ye Yuan's extraordinary qualities.

Jinhua was no fool and naturally understood what that meant.

So he came to welcome Ye Yuan in person.

Ye Yuan was unfamiliar with the place, and his greatest support was the Priest Temple, so he naturally had to be courteous to Jinhua.

Jinhua looked at Ye Yuan and showed a slight hint of surprise, nodding, "So you are the young friend Ye Yuan? I hear you have outstanding talent and can already refine eighth- and ninth-grade Demon God Pills?"

Ye Yuan understood and nodded, "That is Lord Di Qiu's flattery. If Lord Jinhua needs my help, I will naturally not refuse!"

Jinhua smiled, satisfied with Ye Yuan's performance.

Clearly, talking to an intelligent person was very easy.

But inwardly, he was secretly shocked.

He had thought Ye Yuan was a peak fourth-stage expert, but he was only at the fifth heaven of Divine Lord.

Could such strength really refine the Yunpei Tianni Pill?

Di Qiu, seemingly rough and careless, was not as simple as he appeared.

Although the relationship between Priest Temples was much closer than that between imperial cities, asking for a favor naturally required promising some benefits.

And Ye Yuan was the greatest benefit.

In the message he sent, he had already hinted that Ye Yuan could be asked to refine some ninth-grade pills.

"Heh, then I'll trouble you, young friend Ye Yuan. I heard from Di Qiu that you and Bai Guang are sworn brothers?" Jinhua asked casually.

Ye Yuan nodded, "We are brothers who have been through life and death together! Lord Temple Master, I heard that in Huben Imperial City, he also made a good brother named Heitong. Could you tell me about him?"
