Chapter 2560: The Best, of Course, Goes to One's Own People!

"No way? Giving it away! Jasper Jade Renewal Pill, and he's giving it away!"

"Holy crap, giving it away and not to Xie Hua! Harsh!"

"Ye Yuan is being unfair! Tang Yu still has a broken arm, and he gives the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill to someone else!"

…

Ye Yuan's move immediately caused an uproar.

Of course, the Tang family was the most displeased.

Tang Jinhua frowned slightly, clearly unhappy.

Having refined the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill, yet not giving it to Tang Yu first—this was unacceptable to him.

The Tang family had run errands for Ye Yuan, taking on countless risks, and he gave a heavenly pill to an unrelated person!

That person, receiving the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill, was profusely grateful to Ye Yuan.

Fearing someone might snatch it, he simply swallowed it in one gulp.

Just then, the emperor came down from the second floor with the second prince.

Behind them, the first prince was nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, the situation was settled!

The second prince's joy was impossible to conceal.

The emperor glanced at Lin Lan and couldn't help but sigh.

He really hadn't expected that his old comrade would also stumble.

But the soul contract had been signed; if he didn't execute it, Lin Lan would be doomed!

The emperor came before Ye Yuan and said with a frown, "Since the outcome has been decided, I shall bestow upon you the position of National Teacher!"

Ye Yuan made a gesture and smiled, "Your Majesty, no need to rush. On such a fine occasion today, I see many with broken limbs. Since I am to be National Teacher, naturally I must share Your Majesty's burdens. How about I publicly refine and sell pills? What does Your Majesty think?"

The emperor was astonished, "In your current state, you can still refine?"

In his view, the success of this Jasper Jade Renewal Pill was mostly due to luck.

But the soul contract was there.

Success was success; he couldn't go back on his word.

One heavenly pill had already drained Ye Yuan.

Could he handle another one?

Ye Yuan smiled, "I think the National Teacher is not convinced. In that case, let me make him convinced! Please have Your Majesty allocate a batch of heavenly herbs; these guards' broken limbs are on me."

In the imperial household, there were not a few guards with broken arms.

Ye Yuan's offer was a grand gesture.

And it was free!

It had to be said, it was a great gift to the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Yutang, go make the arrangements!"

The second prince gladly accepted the order!

Xie Hua suddenly snorted coldly, "Refining one was already a stretch! In my opinion, you're just toying with His Majesty!"

His gaze at Ye Yuan was full of hatred!

Ye Yuan's earlier move had greatly insulted him.

He would rather give it freely to a guard than to him!

Ye Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "If I were you, I'd shut up now! You should know, the National Teacher is no longer your master, but me! Killing you would be as easy as saying a word!"

Xie Hua's body trembled, full of fear, and he indeed shut up.

Before long, the second prince arrived with a large batch of heavenly herbs.

The imperial collection was naturally not comparable to the Tang family's.

By then, Ye Yuan had mostly recovered his breath. Without further ado, he began refining.

Everyone thought Ye Yuan would end up exhausted again, like last time.

But they were disappointed!

This time, Ye Yuan's refining went very smoothly.

Though still strenuous, there was no sign of the earlier collapse.

This astonished everyone!

"This... what's going on? Was he just putting on a show before?"

"That can't be! Being that exhausted, even if it was an act, it was too much, right?"

"Do you think he really refined the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill for the first time earlier? With experience, this time went much smoother!"

…

Seeing this, everyone naturally speculated wildly.

To be honest, they didn't believe a word Ye Yuan said.

Refining basic heavenly pills for five years could enable one to refine the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill?

Then heavenly alchemists would be too cheap!

Ye Yuan must have used some means to deceive others and secretly practiced advanced heavenly pills over these five years!

But Lin Lan's expression became extremely grave.

Because he noticed that Ye Yuan's refining technique was far more polished than before.

Earlier, though his manner was sufficient, there were clearly many rough spots.

And that had led to the final shortage of divine essence.

But now, Ye Yuan's allocation of divine essence and application of techniques were clearly much more reasonable.

What did this mean?

It meant Ye Yuan was improving!

But the speed of improvement was terrifying!

The second heavenly pill was worth over a decade of his own hard work!

Could it be that this guy really was refining the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill for the first time?

And succeeded on his first try with such a difficult heavenly pill?

That was just too freakish!

Lin Lan couldn't find words to describe the shock in his heart.

Could a person's alchemy talent be this strong?

No, absolutely impossible!

Lin Lan frowned, racking his brains to find the problem.

Suddenly, he shuddered, thinking of a possibility.

Basic heavenly pills!

Could there really be something fishy about basic heavenly pills?

Mastering basic heavenly pills could enable one to refine the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill?

"Condense!"

Ye Yuan gave a cold shout, and the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill was出炉!

This time, the quality was clearly much better than last time!

The guard who received the pill happily swallowed it.

Next, after a short rest, Ye Yuan continued refining.

One pill after another, and the people's shock grew!

Because Ye Yuan's speed of improvement was too fast!

The second prince had already ordered someone to bring Cloud Mountain Stone Mother; each time Ye Yuan produced a pill, someone would test its quality.

From the initial second-grade lower, to third-grade upper, to fourth-grade upper, and finally to the terrifying sixth-grade upper!

The quality of the Jasper Jade Renewal Pill jumped up grade by grade!

The guards who had received pills earlier were almost in tears.

Higher quality meant the regenerated limbs would be more compatible with the body!

"Too terrifying! Such speed of improvement is simply heaven-defying!"

"Damn, this is the first time I've heard of refining Jasper Jade Renewal Pill like this!"

"Compared to Ye Yuan, the National Teacher is utterly weak! It seems he lost this bet without injustice!"

…

Amidst the exclamations, people were already in awe of Ye Yuan.

Such improvement could not be faked.

Maybe one or two pills wouldn't show it, but with so many pills together, the continuous progress was clear at a glance!

The emperor's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Ye Yuan's surprises were too strong, making him feel like he had found a treasure.

The earlier disappointment over losing Lin Lan had already been swept away!

Compared to Ye Yuan, Lin Lan was nothing but dust on the ground!

"Condense!"

Another Jasper Jade Renewal Pill was出炉, and Ye Yuan tossed it to Tang Yu, smiling, "The best, of course, goes to one's own people!"
