Chapter 183: Even If I Killed Him, So What?

A sixty percent chance of breakthrough!

Hu Yanyong stared at Ye Yuan, his mind blank.

Happiness had come too suddenly!

Hu Yanyong had never doubted that he could break through to the Crystal Condensation Realm, but that would have been at least twenty years later!

But now, Ye Yuan had brought him such a huge surprise that Hu Yanyong could hardly believe it.

A pill that could increase the chance of breaking through to the Crystal Condensation Realm by sixty percent—how heaven-defying was that!

"Originally I thought it would take some time to gather the ingredients for the Crystal Condensation Pill, but I unexpectedly obtained the main material during this trip to the Boundless Forest, so I refined it on the spot. Instructor Hu is my lifesaver; how could I joke with you about such a thing?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"But... although this pill is a second-grade pill, even a high-level alchemist probably couldn't refine it easily, right? Are you saying you have strength beyond a high-level alchemist?" Hu Yanyong suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, Hu Yanyong was overthinking it. It was absolutely impossible for a high-level alchemist to refine the Crystal Condensation Pill!

Not to mention a high-level alchemist; even a high-level grand alchemist couldn't refine the Crystal Condensation Pill!

The complexity of refining the Crystal Condensation Pill was beyond the understanding of Qin's grand alchemists. Even if Ye Yuan prepared the ingredients for them, they still couldn't refine it.

"Something like that. For me, second-grade pills are no longer difficult," Ye Yuan said.

He wasn't showing off, just stating a fact.

Ye Yuan's soul power had already reached the level of an intermediate alchemist. With techniques like Yin-Yang Split Flow that allowed cross-grade refinement, refining second-grade pills was really no problem for him.

Hu Yanyong couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. This kid was truly a freak!

Only at the second layer of Liquid Realm, yet he said second-grade pills were no difficulty. He wondered what the dean would think if he heard this.

Hu Yanyong gently stroked the medicine bottle Ye Yuan had given him and fell silent.

But from his slightly trembling body, one could see how excited he was inside!

Ye Yuan didn't urge him, quietly waiting for Hu Yanyong to calm down. He also understood how great an impact the Crystal Condensation Pill had on Hu Yanyong.

After a long while, Hu Yanyong took a deep breath but returned the bottle to Ye Yuan, saying, "Ye Yuan, you'd better take this pill back."

Ye Yuan was slightly stunned, puzzled: "Instructor Hu, do you not trust Ye Yuan?"

Hu Yanyong waved his hand and said, "How could I not trust you? It's just that this pill is too precious; I can't accept it. I think, given your speed of progress, breaking through to the peak of the ninth layer of Liquid Realm should be within a year, right? You'd better keep this pill for yourself! You need it more than I do."

Ye Yuan hadn't expected Hu Yanyong to say such things, and he was deeply moved.

For martial artists in the Divine Realm, the Crystal Condensation Realm might not be much. But Ye Yuan had been in Qin for so long that he fully understood what the Crystal Condensation Realm meant for Liquid Realm martial artists!

Yet Hu Yanyong, for his sake, was willing to give up the chance to become a Crystal Condensation Realm martial artist!

How much willpower did it take to resist the temptation of advancing to the Crystal Condensation Realm!

Ye Yuan pushed the bottle back to Hu Yanyong and said with a smile, "Instructor Hu, you worry too much. This Crystal Condensation Pill isn't as precious as you think; I have as many as I want."

"As many as you want? Ye Yuan, you're not just saying that to make me accept this pill, are you?" Hu Yanyong didn't believe it.

Ye Yuan helplessly took out two more bottles, the pills inside clearly being Crystal Condensation Pills, shocking Hu Yanyong speechless again.

Could such a heaven-defying pill be mass-produced?

This kid's methods were truly baffling!

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll accept it. But this Crystal Condensation Pill is too monstrous; you must keep it a secret and never let anyone know!"

Hu Yanyong wasn't one to be overly polite. Since Ye Yuan had said so much, he naturally wouldn't refuse anymore, and instead warned Ye Yuan.

"Of course."

Hu Yanyong carefully put away the Crystal Condensation Pill, then said to Ye Yuan, "Since you're back, what about Su Yishan?"

"Dead," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Hu Yanyong wasn't too surprised, but he could guess that Ye Yuan's trip to the Boundless Forest had probably not been peaceful.

"As long as you're fine, don't worry about the rest. The dean has returned; come with me to see him. He thinks highly of you too," Hu Yanyong said.

"Mm, I should."

Ye Yuan didn't refuse. After all, Hu Yanyong had protected him on the dean's orders. It was only right for him to pay a visit.

As soon as they stepped out, they saw Su Yubai approaching aggressively.

"Ye Yuan! What have you done to Yishan! I warn you, if anything happens to Yishan, you and the Ye family will pay with your lives!" Su Yubai roared.

Ye Yuan looked at Su Yubai as if he were an idiot and said calmly, "Elder Su, have you lost your mind? Your nephew is missing, and instead of looking for him in the Boundless Forest, you come here shouting at me?"

Su Yubai pointed at Ye Yuan's nose and roared, "Ye Yuan, don't play innocent with me! During this Boundless Trial, you, Nanfeng Zhirou, and Yishan were the last to return. Dare you say Yishan's disappearance has nothing to do with you?"

Ye Yuan glanced at Hu Yanyong and said in surprise, "Has Elder Su been under some stress lately? It seems his mind isn't working well."

"His mind has never worked well," Hu Yanyong added irresponsibly, playing off Ye Yuan.

"I see, then I can't blame him. Elder Su, I think you've got it wrong. As far as I know, more than twenty students didn't return from this Boundless Trial. Why do you single out the three of us? Your intentions are malicious! I know Elder Su doesn't have a good impression of me, but you can't frame me like this!" Ye Yuan said innocently.

Seeing Ye Yuan and Hu Yanyong trading barbs, Su Yubai grew even angrier!

Although Su Yishan was Su Yulin's son, he was raised by Su Yubai.

Not father and son, but as close as father and son!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come looking for Ye Yuan as soon as he heard he was back.

But now, both Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou had returned, while Su Yishan still hadn't, likely in grave danger!

After all, Su Yishan had gone to kill Ye Yuan. Su Yubai didn't believe they hadn't crossed paths in the Boundless Forest!

"Stop playing innocent! Among these students, only you have a grudge against Yishan. If something happens to Yishan, you can't escape blame!"

"Oh? Is that so? The Boundless Forest is full of dangers. Why couldn't Su Yishan have been killed by a demonic beast? Elder Su, your imagination is really running wild! But then again, even if I killed him, so what? Elder Su has no evidence; you can't convict me with empty words, can you? Hmm... I almost forgot, I'm now a core disciple of the Nethercloud Sect. Elder Su can't convict me!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
