Chapter 1912: Soul-Merging Dao Pill!

Ye Yuan instinctively felt that this Rong Xiyue was not simple.

This kind of eerie charm technique was something Ye Yuan had never seen before in his life.

If she truly exerted all her skills, even a strong cultivator like Yu Jinsong would find it hard to withstand.

It was only because Yu Jinsong had a True God realm expert backing him that Rong Xiyue acted with restraint.

"Then... why did you still agree to refine pills for her?" Ning Tianping asked in confusion.

He rarely saw Ye Yuan look so serious, and he couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Even when facing True God experts, Ye Yuan had always been calm and composed.

"This woman is not simple, and that Linghua Pavilion is equally not simple. Since they sent Rong Xiyue, it means they don't want to fall out with us for now. Of course, we're not their match either. So it's best if we keep our distance and don't interfere with each other," Ye Yuan said.

This Linghua Pavilion always gave Ye Yuan a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.

Compared to Yu Wenfeng and Li Kongming, the master of Linghua Pavilion was clearly harder to fathom.

But taking the opportunity to make an exorbitant demand was something Ye Yuan was happy to do.

...

Along the way, Rong Xiyue was indeed very restrained.

She used a secret technique to completely suppress her immortal aura, making her appear much more ordinary to others.

Ye Yuan did not send anyone to watch her, but precisely because of that, she dared not act recklessly.

Returning to her residence, she closed the doors and windows, and suddenly specks of light radiated from Rong Xiyue's body.

She muttered incantations, and the specks of light eventually formed a light shield that enveloped the entire room.

Then, a yellow light flew out from between her brows, transforming into an illusory black-robed man who landed opposite her.

If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize that this black-robed man was none other than the mysterious master of Linghua Pavilion.

"Greetings, Protector Kumu."

Rong Xiyue bowed gracefully to the black-robed man.

The black-robed man nodded slightly and said, "This kid is truly formidable!"

A flicker of surprise passed through Rong Xiyue's beautiful eyes as she said, "Protector Kumu, are you no match for him either?"

The black-robed man said, "I originally intended to observe him quietly, but for some reason, I kept feeling a sense of unease. I have a feeling that if this wisp of my divine sense leaves your brow, it will surely be destroyed by him!"

Rong Xiyue's expression changed slightly as she said, "My Immortal Dream Art had no effect on him either. This is the first time I've encountered such a thing! In the past, even True God experts couldn't detect it."

Rong Xiyue's Immortal Dream Art was vastly different from ordinary charm techniques.

It did not directly target another's soul; instead, it used a method of soul reflection to influence the target's senses, making it extremely covert.

As long as she did not actively touch the other's soul, the target would never discover it.

Since mastering it, Rong Xiyue had never failed.

Unexpectedly, today it was directly broken by Ye Yuan.

"I originally wanted to probe his background, but now it seems this kid is even more troublesome than I imagined!" Kumu, hidden in the black robe, said with some frustration in his voice.

Rong Xiyue frowned slightly and said, "He made a condition: the price for refining pills for us is five times higher than for the other two factions. Protector Kumu, what... should we do?"

The black-robed man pondered for a moment and said, "Agree to him! This kid's appearance has completely disrupted our plans. Now that he's willing to stay out of it, that's for the best. As long as he doesn't provoke us, we won't provoke him. In fact, we can even try to win him over. All for the greater plan."

Rong Xiyue bowed slightly and nodded, saying, "Xiyue understands."

...

With these three groups, Ye Yuan made a huge profit.

Moreover, the great upheaval in Lingnan had by now spread throughout the entire Nine Xu Imperial Capital.

The news that Lingnan had become an independent kingdom shocked all quarters.

Of course, the most important thing was still Ye Yuan's alchemy skills!

Those Divine Lord powerhouses from mid-tier and high-tier imperial cities all came flocking upon hearing the news.

A five-star Divine Alchemist capable of refining Hao Ling Divine Pills was absolutely in high demand in a place like the Nine Xu Imperial Capital.

Not only did more and more Divine Lords come to Tianying, but more and more alchemists gradually gathered there as well.

In fact, many alchemists from the Alchemist Tower, including Xuan Yu, had been personally trained by Ye Yuan. After centuries of refinement, their skills were no longer what they used to be.

Especially Ning Siyu of the Ning family, whose talent was quite remarkable and who had long become a renowned four-star Divine Alchemist.

With Ye Yuan's current fame at its peak, Tianying had become a sacred place in the hearts of alchemists.

By the time the situation in Lingnan stabilized, a year had already passed.

During this year, Ye Yuan's cultivation level had unknowingly broken through to the sixth level of Divine Patterns.

Of course, under Ye Yuan's magical barrage of elixirs, a large number of Divine Lords had emerged in Tianying Imperial City.

Now, the strength of Tianying Imperial City had already surpassed that of most high-tier imperial cities.

However, as everyone's strength grew, Bai Chen found himself in an increasingly awkward position.

He discovered that everyone around Ye Yuan was advancing by leaps and bounds, except for him, who remained perpetually stagnant.

In other imperial cities, everyone's cultivation speed was very slow, often measured in tens of thousands of years.

But in Tianying, ten thousand years was too long; they seized every moment!

With high-quality elixirs, everyone's cultivation speed was too fast.

Every day, Bai Chen lived in torment.

Over the past year, Bai Chen had become familiar with those around Ye Yuan, like Ning Tianping.

However, he had never been able to integrate into that circle.

Not because everyone disliked him, but because everyone knew that he would eventually be eliminated!

If things continued to develop at this rate, Divine Lord Ninth Heaven in Tianying would become as common as cabbage.

One day, Bai Chen finally couldn't help but seek out Ye Yuan.

"Master, I... I've been away for too long. I want... to return to Tianlu for a visit."

Bai Chen found that only by returning to Tianlu could he calm his mind a little.

After all, there, he was the ruler.

How could Ye Yuan not understand what was on his mind? He smiled and said, "If you go back, will you be content?"

As a controller, one could indeed do as one pleased in the Tianlu World.

But that was only under the premise of not knowing that there was a larger world outside. Once one knew, who could be content with mediocrity?

Bai Chen smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do even if I'm not content? Miss Leng's strength is probably almost catching up to mine. As for the others, in a few years, they will surpass me too. I..."

Ye Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This year, Lingnan has just been settled, and there are countless matters to attend to. I haven't been able to calm down. Now that the overall situation is initially stable, I finally have time to consider your matter!"

Bai Chen was stunned and said, "My matter? What matter do I have?"

In Tianying, he was the most idle person because he didn't need to cultivate at all.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I want to research a new elixir, and I need your cooperation!"

Hearing this, Bai Chen was overjoyed and said, "May I ask what new elixir Master intends to research?"

Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "The Soul-Controlling Dao-Merging Pill!"
