Chapter 295: Slander!

Li'er and Yan'er could hardly believe their ears. Had Ye Yuan really just handed them over?

Those were a divine soul secret technique and an eighth-grade pill formula!

Even in the Divine Realm, these two things would drive countless people mad. Had Ye Yuan given them away so easily?

“Young Master Ye, you wouldn't be… joking with us, would you?” Li'er said incredulously.

Ye Yuan understood the weight of these items, so their reaction was only natural.

Without further ado, Ye Yuan took out two blank jade slips and inscribed the divine soul secret technique and the eighth-grade pill formula into them respectively.

“It's not that I don't trust you two ladies, but this matter carries too great a risk for me. Please swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will not reveal the origin of these jade slips to a fourth person!”

This was also reasonable. Li'er and Yan'er each swore a Heavenly Dao oath, and Ye Yuan handed the jade slips to Li'er.

Holding the two jade slips in her hand, Li'er stared blankly at Ye Yuan, still unable to believe this was real!

Ye Yuan sighed inwardly, thinking that this old habit had indeed struck again!

When it came to healing and saving people, Ye Yuan had never been able to resist.

In his past life, Ji Qingyun had often done such things. Whenever someone came to him for help, as long as they weren't utterly evil, he would treat them.

Partly it was due to his healer's compassion, and partly because he himself itched to practice his skills.

For someone at Ji Qingyun's level, conquering a difficult and complicated illness brought immense satisfaction. And his alchemy skills improved in the process.

In this life, Ye Yuan's temperament had changed greatly, but no matter how much he changed, Ye Yuan was still Ji Qingyun.

This mistress and servant were simple-hearted and clearly not malicious people, so Ye Yuan naturally felt the itch to practice.

Moreover, facing this ugly-looking Li'er, for some reason, his compassion grew even stronger.

But even if he handed the pill formula to Li'er, she would not be able to refine the pill.

This pill was not some common recipe; it was a formula of his own creation, called Rain Dew Soul-Nourishing Pill, which could only be refined with his unique technique.

Moreover, one of the main ingredients in the formula was extremely rare, even in the Divine Realm.

Given Ye Yuan's current state, he naturally lacked the means to do it.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I've already handed the items to Miss Li'er. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Miss Li'er should take more pills that nourish the divine soul in the future; that can delay the onset of the soul tear. I've left a divine soul imprint on the jade slip. Someday, when I have sufficient strength, I will come find Miss Li'er.”

With that, Ye Yuan turned and left without any lingering attachment.

Having done this much for a chance encounter was already his limit.

Whether Li'er could wait until the day he grew strong enough was beyond Ye Yuan's control.

Ye Yuan could tell that these two were no ordinary people; their family might have ties to the Divine Realm.

If they were ordinary people, upon hearing the name of an eighth-grade pill, they would have already been daunted.

“Miss, why don't we hurry back? Your illness can't be delayed!” Yan'er urged after Ye Yuan left.

Li'er shook her head and said, “Going back would be walking into a trap. I'd rather die out here!”

“But…”

“No buts! And didn't you just hear what Ye Yuan said? The pill formula he gave can't be refined by anyone else! I think he's telling the truth!” Li'er said.

"What do we do now?"

"Follow him."

"Just a mere Liquid Realm martial artist. Why follow him?"

Li'er shook her head and said, "This youth is not simple! A Liquid Realm martial artist actually knows the formula for an eighth-grade pill. Don't you find that strange?"

"Ah! Now that you mention it, miss, it is true! Just now I was only worried about your illness and forgot about this! Come to think of it, this kid is indeed suspicious in every way!"

"He could see my Moonlight Heavenly Eye at a glance, and his diagnosis is likely accurate. Such skill is rare even in the Divine Domain. Since we have nothing to do here at the Boundless Border anyway, we might as well see who this Ye Yuan really is," Li'er said.

"Alright, let's do as you say, miss."

Li'er nodded: "But this time, be more careful. Don't reveal our whereabouts again."

And so, without knowing it, Ye Yuan had two little tails behind him.

...

When Ye Yuan found Mei Zhen and the others by the coordinates, they were already at the entrance of the secret realm.

At that moment, seven of the eight major sects had arrived, only the nearest, Tianqian Sect, had yet to come.

Seeing Ye Yuan return safely, Mei Zhen also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?" Mo Yuntian quickly asked.

Ye Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and said, "I told you it was just handling some small matters. Senior Brother Mo need not worry."

"Haha, it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine! Ye Yuan, take a rest for a while. Once Tianqian Sect arrives, we can enter the secret realm," Mei Zhen said, clearly in a good mood seeing Ye Yuan return.

Ye Yuan nodded and was about to find a place to sit and rest when a group of people blocked his way.

It was none other than the people from Shangqing Sect!

"Why is this kid coming now? Where did he go?" The speaker was Wang Fan, who questioned Mei Zhen.

Mei Zhen, already full of anger, sneered at Wang Fan's questioning: "Oh? Does my Youyun Sect need to report to your Shangqing Sect about what its disciples do?"

Originally, each sect occupied its own area to rest. As soon as the two confronted each other, the people from other sects immediately looked over.

Seeing Mei Zhen's tough attitude, Wang Fan became even more displeased: "Normally, you don't need to report to me, but the Wulan Lingzhi that my Shangqing Sect just obtained vanished on the way. I suspect your disciple stole it!"

In fact, Wang Fan certainly didn't think Ye Yuan was that mysterious person; he was just using the opportunity to pick a quarrel.

Having the duck snatched from his mouth made Wang Fan very unhappy. Just now, he saw Ye Yuan being the last to return, so he naturally seized the chance to cause trouble.

His goal was simple: to extort something from Youyun Sect!

Even if it wasn't as precious as Wulan Lingzhi, at least they should produce a quasi-fourth-grade medicinal herb, right?

But he never imagined that the one who ruined Shangqing Sect's good deed was indeed Ye Yuan himself!

His random accusations had actually hit the real culprit!

But he was making up nonsense, claiming that the Wulan Lingzhi had been obtained but stolen, just to smear Youyun Sect!

Mei Zhen and the others didn't know what was going on, but they knew Ye Yuan must have succeeded!

However, as for Wang Fan's nonsense, Mei Zhen would never believe it.

"What utter nonsense! Open your eyes and look. Ye Yuan is just a Liquid Realm martial artist. Could he steal something right under the noses of you two Ocean Transformation Realm experts?"

Wang Fan, however, grinned slyly: "He is indeed a Liquid Realm martial artist, but who knows if he specializes in thieving techniques and only knows how to steal? If that's the case, everyone should be careful!"
