Chapter 2077: Extermination

The medicine bottle circulated among the Celestial Lords.

After the previous person finished examining it, they silently passed it to the next, their faces filled with shock.

Even Bingyun Celestial Lord, usually as cold as ice, had her curiosity piqued.

She thought to herself, could this pill really be a divine-grade?

"Sister Bingyun, take a look."

Among the eight, the strongest, Chiyu Celestial Lord, sighed softly and passed the small bottle to Bingyun Celestial Lord.

Bingyun glanced at him curiously, caught the small bottle tossed over, and said disdainfully, "Even if it's divine-grade, does it warrant such expressions from all of you? Hmph! What's so great about divine-grade? Is that why you look down on me...?"

While expressing her disdain, she extended her divine sense into the small bottle.

As she spoke, her words got stuck in her throat, and she felt an extreme dryness.

"Hao... Haoling... Divine-grade! How... how is that possible?"

Bingyun Celestial Lord's pupils contracted sharply, her eyes filled with disbelief.

A Haoling Divine Pill!

Had such a pill ever appeared in the vast land of the Extreme North Grasslands?

Bingyun Celestial Lord wasn't sure, but probably not!

Though the Extreme North Grasslands were boundless, the number of Seven-Star Pill Gods was limited.

Even if those people were stronger than Guhong Celestial Lord, it was only by a small margin.

Let alone refining a Haoling Divine Pill, they probably couldn't even refine an ordinary Purple Spirit divine-grade pill.

Even if they did, they were just simple first- or second-tier pills.

Ninth-tier pills were far too difficult for them!

But this young man before them, at the level of a Six-Star Pill God, had refined a Haoling Divine Pill?

How was that possible?

"Alas, Sister Bingyun, you're too rash! Someone who earns such respect from Brother Guhong must have real skill!" Chiyu Celestial Lord sighed slightly.

"Some skill? Heh, Master Ji's skill... is far more than 'some'!" Xujian Celestial Lord laughed.

"Hmph! I am a figure of some standing in the Extreme North Grasslands. If my master's alchemy weren't something I admire, why would I have taken him as my teacher? Bingyun, before you came in, you pleaded with me to agree. Now that you're in Hongdan Tower, you show disrespect to our master—I can't help you anymore!" Guhong Celestial Lord snorted coldly.

Wasn't Bingyun Celestial Lord's contempt for Ye Yuan equivalent to contempt for him, Guhong Celestial Lord?

How foolish would he have to be to take a powerless Six-Star Pill God as his master?

"This... Master Ji, I... I..." Bingyun Celestial Lord stammered, not knowing what to say.

A Six-Star Pill God capable of refining a Haoling Divine Pill was absolutely a titan in the Extreme North Grasslands!

And she had just questioned such a great figure.

She now realized that Ye Yuan's claim of being able to create a Celestial Lord with a flip of his hand was no empty boast.

Since Ye Yuan could refine the Earthly Nether Mind-Imprinting Pill of Haoling divine-grade, refining the Heaven-Snatching Creation Pill above divine-grade was certainly within his ability.

It was just that the spiritual herbs needed for the Heaven-Snatching Creation Pill were too rare; otherwise, creating a batch of Celestial Lords would be as easy as taking something from his pocket.

"Bingyun Celestial Lord, you may leave. The pills you seek, I, Ji, will not refine. Furthermore, from today onward, Hongdan Tower will cease all pill supply to your Bingyun Que!" Ye Yuan said indifferently, directly issuing an eviction order.

He sneered inwardly, considering this a lesson for Bingyun Celestial Lord.

Daring to treat Lü'er like that—how could he not make her taste despair?

From the start, Ye Yuan had never planned to beg Bingyun Celestial Lord to release her.

That was the worst strategy.

Nor had he considered using force to take Lü'er; if he pushed Bingyun Celestial Lord too far, she might actually harm Lü'er.

Since the identity of an alchemist was useful, what did it matter if he used his strength to subdue Jiuluo Collection and the entire Extreme North Grasslands?

After all, he had single-handedly defeated the entire alchemy world of the Southern Domain!

Ye Yuan's plan was to pressure her until she submitted and willingly sent Lü'er over!

"You! Going too far!" Bingyun Celestial Lord, never treated like this before, turned her old face icy with anger.

She had been thinking of apologizing, but Ye Yuan didn't give her a chance, directly cutting off Bingyun Que's supplies.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Going too far? You brought this on yourself."

Chiyu Celestial Lord found it hard to watch and interjected, "Master Ji, Sister Bingyun she..."

Before he could finish, Ye Yuan's face turned cold, and he said sternly, "Anyone who pleads for her need not come to Hongdan Tower for pills in the future!"

The Celestial Lords' expressions changed, and they dared not speak further.

They had witnessed Ye Yuan's strength; though it couldn't directly enhance their own power, it could greatly strengthen their factions.

How could they casually offend such a figure?

Only someone as reckless as Bingyun Celestial Lord would confront Ye Yuan head-on, simply asking for trouble.

Song Cao and the others watched from the side, their hearts pounding—good heavens, their master was truly domineering!

Bingyun Celestial Lord's chest heaved with anger, and she gritted her teeth, "Fine, fine, fine! I don't believe you're the only alchemist in the Extreme North Grasslands!"

With that, Bingyun Celestial Lord flicked her sleeves and left.

"Master, this..." Guhong Celestial Lord hadn't expected Ye Yuan to react so fiercely and hesitated.

In the Extreme North Grasslands, Seven-Star Pill Gods weren't limited to him alone.

From Bingyun Celestial Lord's words, she clearly intended to seek cooperation with other collections' Seven-Star Pill Gods.

But Ye Yuan didn't care and said calmly, "Guhong, remember this: under my tutelage, alchemists must never be insulted! Not only I, but you, Song Cao, and the others must have this confidence. Understand?"

Guhong Celestial Lord's expression turned serious, and he bowed, "Yes, disciple understands."

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and added, "Guhong, starting tomorrow, you will accompany me to visit the various collections and call on our fellow cultivators on the plains."

At these words, all the Celestial Lords' expressions changed.

Good heavens, this was a complete extermination!

If you don't submit, he'll crush you until you do!

This young man, not only was his strength formidable, but his temper was equally proud.

Such a person must never be offended.

The Celestial Lords felt a chill in their hearts, naturally understanding that Ye Yuan was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.

"Yes, Master!" Guhong said respectfully.

At the same time, joy rose in his heart.

With his master in charge, Hongdan Tower could now strut across the Extreme North Grasslands.

"Haha, Master Ji, I have always been on good terms with Guhong. I came this time to request a few pills," Chiyu Celestial Lord said with a hint of embarrassment.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, "That's no problem. For sixth-tier divine pills, as long as you gather the spiritual herbs, I will surely return a divine-grade pill. As for seventh-tier divine pills, wait a few more days; I believe Guhong can give you a surprise."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, followed by a surge of ecstasy.

Seventh-tier divine pills were far too rare in the Extreme North Grasslands!
