Chapter 2043: The Summit Alchemy Conference

In the square, tens of thousands of genius alchemists were locked in fierce competition.

The Cloud Alchemy Conference was a grand gathering of the alchemy path, and each time it produced a batch of geniuses who became the focus of universal attention.

This time was no exception.

As soon as Cloud Yi appeared, he overshadowed all the other geniuses.

With his strength at the initial Dao realm, such a pill duel made him stand out like a crane among chickens; his opponents were utterly powerless.

"Tsk, if nothing unexpected happens, Cloud Yi will be the champion of the Six-Star Divine Alchemist group at this Cloud Alchemy Conference. He truly lives up to being the great-grandson of Dan Yu Celestial Lord and deserves the title of the number one genius in alchemy!"

Once Cloud Yi made his move, the onlookers spared no praise.

But these words sounded harsh to Cloud Yi's ears.

Number one genius?

How ironic!

Have you all forgotten Master Ye? He is not even half my age!

Although Cloud Yi understood that no one was comparing Ye Yuan to his generation anymore, his proud heart felt like it had a thorn stuck in it, unable to let go.

In fact, his pressure came not only from Ye Yuan but from another person.

That person was Ning Siyu.

Ning Siyu did not participate in the Five-Star Divine Alchemist group but joined the Six-Star group!

Her strength made it unnecessary for her to compete in the Five-Star group.

Since the start of the competition, Ning Siyu had left everyone far behind, defeating many Six-Star Divine Alchemists.

Among them were many pre-competition seeded players.

Including Cloud Yi, all the Six-Star Divine Alchemists felt unprecedented pressure.

This Ning Siyu was merely a small maid of Ye Yuan!

Was a mere maid going to replicate her master's world-dominating achievements?

"My god, this is incredible! That Ning Siyu actually defeated Hua Tianqiang, the number one genius of the Qiunan Hua family!"

Suddenly, a burst of exclamations rose from the crowd.

Clearly, the latest battle report had arrived.

At the mention of Ning Siyu's name, Cloud Yi's breath caught, and his control over the flame became slightly unstable.

His opponent, who had been overwhelmed, saw this opening and glimpsed a ray of hope.

But he did not know how strong Cloud Yi's inner shock was at that moment.

Hua Tianqiang was a supreme genius from the alchemy family Hua, and in terms of strength, he could rank in the top ten of the Six-Star group.

And now, he had lost to a little girl who was a Five-Star Divine Alchemist!

"Master Ye is truly remarkable; even his little maid possesses such terrifying strength."

"Hey, I've already looked into it. This Sky Eagle Imperial City is just a barren land, and its rise has only been in the last few hundred years. How could such a place produce any genius? In other words, under Master Ye's tutelage, Ning Siyu reached the Initial Realm Perfection in just a few hundred years! Such methods are simply beyond belief!"

"What did you say? A few hundred years to cultivate an Initial Realm Perfection? Given time, wouldn't this Ning Siyu surpass Young Master Cloud Yi?"

…

Before this, no one had paid any attention to what Sky Eagle Imperial City was.

But after many days, the secrets of Sky Eagle Imperial City were quickly dug up.

Lingnan, such a remote place, was usually of no concern to anyone.

They also did not believe that Lingnan could produce any extraordinary genius.

Before meeting Ye Yuan, Ning Siyu, as a native, could not have had much strength.

Yet, in just a few hundred years, an Initial Realm Perfection had risen.

Give Ning Siyu a few hundred or even a thousand more years, and surpassing Cloud Yi, the number one genius of the Southern Domain, might not be impossible.

What did this show?

It showed that Master Ye not only possessed extreme personal strength but also had rare teaching skills in the world!

From a barren Lingnan, Ye Yuan had taught a strong practitioner like Ning Siyu; what about these geniuses?

At this thought, everyone got goosebumps.

For a time, hearts were unsettled.

…

Naturally, Ye Yuan did not know the thoughts of the tens of thousands of alchemists outside; he was currently participating in the Summit Alchemy Conference.

The Summit Alchemy Conference was the main event for the big shots.

Bang!

Dan Yu Celestial Lord suddenly slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Boy, your appetite is too big! Even if you are a Half-Step Ancestral Realm, you are merely a Six-Star Divine Alchemist. How dare you demand fifty percent at the outset?"

One must know that the share controlled by the Cloud Dan Great Emperor was only forty percent.

The other Celestial Lords also showed displeasure, clearly feeling that Ye Yuan's appetite was too great.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Given the strength of my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, what's wrong with taking fifty percent? Since this Cloud Alchemy Conference decides victory through pill duels, why don't we each place bets and continue dueling?"

The Celestial Lords were almost choked by his words. Your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has one Ancestral Realm and one Half-Step Ancestral Realm; who can compete with you in pill duels?

Dan Yu Celestial Lord sneered, "Is that so? What if… I disagree?"

Ye Yuan looked at Dan Yu Celestial Lord and said expressionlessly, "If you disagree, then let's dissolve the partnership. Then everyone can rely on their own abilities, and there won't be such endless quarrels."

"You!" Dan Yu Celestial Lord almost spat blood.

Before the Cloud Alchemy Conference appeared, the alchemy world of the Southern Domain was like the Warring States period, with various factions in chaos.

In the same place, there could even be dozens of pill shops belonging to different forces.

At that time, everyone used every means to fight for territory, naturally including price wars.

In the end, everyone suffered huge losses.

It was not until the Sacred Ground Alliance appeared that today's situation emerged.

Everyone had their own territory, developed in peace, and could earn divine spirit stones, to everyone's satisfaction.

If the partnership were dissolved, the Southern Domain would inevitably enter another Warring States period.

By then, who could stop the advance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?

One must know that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, like a parasite, had spread throughout the entire Tongtian Realm.

It was this contract that restricted the development of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Of course, this was also because the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had no Ancestral Realm alchemist.

But now, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had an Ancestral Realm alchemist and also one more alchemist about to step into the Ancestral Realm.

If the partnership were dissolved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"My Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has one Ancestral Realm and one Half-Step Ancestral Realm, yet only takes a fifty percent share. Is that too much? If we really dissolve, you all know the consequences. Moreover, I have more than ten new types of pills, with effects at least thirty percent stronger than the current market pills. Once they are released, what will you use to stop them?"

Ye Yuan swept his gaze, exuding dominance.

This Summit Alchemy Conference was just a bunch of alchemists sitting together to divide the spoils.

How to divide was naturally based on strength.

"More than ten new types of pills? Hey, who are you trying to scare?"

"Do you think new pill formulas are like wholesale goods, available in bulk?"

…

The Celestial Lords sneered disdainfully.

But Liu Ming Celestial Lord's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he sighed, "What Master Ye said is probably true! With his understanding of the alchemy path, modifying existing pills would probably be… a piece of cake!"

"What!"

Everyone was shocked!

Liu Ming Celestial Lord would not speak carelessly, and everyone present knew that Ye Yuan had once completed incomplete pill formulas.

Could this young man really possess such terrifying deductive abilities?
