Chapter 1824: He Can't Teach Me

What was Treasure Pig?

Chai Zhen didn't say, and no one knew.

But people knew that this pink, adorable little pig was definitely no ordinary creature.

They just didn't know why this pig was so close to Ye Yuan, which made all the sects envious.

Back at the Spirit Medicine Hall, Chai Zhen immediately ordered people to prepare the spiritual medicines on the list, instructing them to gather everything within the day no matter how difficult, and then deliver them to Shanglin Garden.

Finally, he returned to his own quarters, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Close call, close call! That bastard Du Rufeng nearly screwed me over! But why would Treasure Pig appear here? Could it be... that大人 has also come?"

At the thought, Chai Zhen broke out in a cold sweat.

...

At Shanglin Garden, in Ye Yuan's residence, Treasure Pig lay on the bed, sleeping soundly, with drool at the corner of its mouth, as if dreaming of eating delicious food.

This little thing was really just like a pig—eating and sleeping, nothing else.

Xu Yan looked at the sleeping Treasure Pig with awe and whispered to Ye Yuan, "What exactly is this little thing? Du Rufeng and Chai Zhen are both afraid of it!"

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly. "How would I know? But shouldn't you be more concerned about that kid?"

Xu Yan was taken aback. "You mean... Xiaotong? Isn't he just a kid? Even though he knows space laws, his strength seems average, right?"

Ye Yuan smiled. "His strength is indeed not strong, but don't forget what he said to Treasure Pig. He might be the disciple or descendant of Treasure Pig's master. And Treasure Pig's master is the real big shot!"

Xu Yan's expression changed; he clearly hadn't thought as deeply as Ye Yuan.

Now, with Ye Yuan's reminder, he broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of existence must the big shot behind it be, to make two true god elders so fearful?

"This big shot..."

Ye Yuan nodded. "Although there is a huge gap between true gods themselves, for them to be so afraid just seeing a pet, that big shot is likely a venerable sovereign!"

"Hiss..."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Xu Yan was still startled by Ye Yuan's words.

A venerable sovereign!

Even in the Tongtian Realm, venerable sovereigns were powerful figures, existing above all beings.

True gods and venerable sovereigns were beings from two different worlds.

Although Xu Yan was strong, barring any surprises, the realm of venerable sovereign was out of reach for him.

In the Huangling Void Realm, almost no one had ever seen a venerable sovereign.

They were an extremely mysterious group, lofty deities looked up to by all beings.

How could Xu Yan not be shocked?

In fact, Ye Yuan was also deeply moved.

He had heard of venerable sovereigns back in the Immortal Forest World.

Today, for the first time, he was so close to a venerable sovereign.

Back then, Kunwu and Wuchen had predicted that he could never reach the venerable sovereign realm.

But now, the venerable sovereign realm didn't seem so far away.

"But I can't figure out why Treasure Pig sticks to you. It should be meeting you for the first time, right?" Xu Yan suddenly said.

Ye Yuan smiled. "I'm afraid it's after the pills I have."

Xu Yan asked doubtfully, "Your pills? Elder Du is a six-star divine alchemist. Can the pills he refines be inferior to yours? Besides, the temple has more alchemists than just Du Rufeng; some are even stronger. Why does Treasure Pig choose you?"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily. "Elder Xu, how do you want me to answer that?"

Xu Yan said, "Answer truthfully, of course!"

He was genuinely curious about what was unique about Ye Yuan that made Treasure Pig willing to fall out with Xiaotong.

Ye Yuan had no choice but to say, "Because my pills are of better quality than theirs."

Xu Yan was stunned, then scolded with a laugh, "You brat, you don't even blush when bragging! The skill of a six-star divine alchemist is beyond your imagination. Forget it, maybe it's just fate."

Ye Yuan smiled and shrugged, saying nothing more.

Chai Zhen was very efficient; he sent all the fifth-grade spiritual medicines that very day.

Seeing the dazzling array of spiritual medicines, Ye Yuan was overjoyed.

He had always worried about the supply of spiritual medicines after the fifth grade. To become a qualified five-star divine alchemist, he naturally needed a large amount of spiritual medicines to practice.

Now, with Treasure Pig, this problem was solved.

There were still about half a month until the Huangling Tournament, and Ye Yuan planned to use this time to master fifth-grade divine pills.

Three days later, a thin figure sneaked into Shanglin Garden.

His form flickered, elusive and hard to track.

In the blink of an eye, he slipped into Ye Yuan's room.

At a glance, he saw Treasure Pig drooling on the bed, and immediately fumed with rage.

Bang!

"Ouch!"

Xiaotong took a step and directly hit what felt like a wall, his nose stinging painfully.

"This kid actually set up a spatial restriction! Treasure Pig is mine, what right does he have!" Xiaotong fumed.

After three days, Treasure Pig showed no sign of returning.

Xiaotong finally couldn't hold back and wanted to sneak in and steal Treasure Pig.

But obviously, he underestimated Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was extremely knowledgeable about space laws; how could he let someone break into his room?

Just then, a ripple in space appeared, and Ye Yuan's figure emerged.

Xiaotong glared at Ye Yuan, eyes blazing. "Kid, what do you mean? Treasure Pig is mine!"

Ye Yuan shrugged. "Didn't you say you were breaking up with it?"

Xiaotong choked, then snorted. "That... that was just angry talk! Besides, Treasure Pig is only with you out of novelty. Don't think that just because you occasionally refine a few decent pills, you can make Treasure Pig stay for good. Let me tell you, Treasure Pig has a very picky palate!"

"Oh, then when it wants to go back, I'll let it go. Don't worry, I won't keep it for myself," Ye Yuan said calmly.

He indeed had no intention of keeping Treasure Pig; he couldn't afford to raise this pink pig—feeding it pills every day was beyond his means.

Hearing this, Xiaotong's expression softened, and he said in a childish voice, "You do have potential, being able to refine pills that satisfy Treasure Pig. How about this: I'll have Du Rufeng take you as his disciple, and you can follow him from now on."

Ye Yuan shook his head with a smile. "Take a master? I'm not interested. He can't teach me."

Xiaotong flew into a rage again. "You ungrateful brat! You've just broken through to the celestial god realm, and you think you're something? Do you know how many people in the Huangling Void Realm want to become Du Rufeng's disciple but have no way? Who do you think you are, that even a six-star divine alchemist can't teach you?"

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to argue. He flicked his palm, and a few pills appeared in his hand.

As soon as the pills appeared, Treasure Pig, who had been sleeping, shot up like an electric shock, turning into a pink streak and pouncing toward Ye Yuan.
