Chapter 503: Teach Me Alchemy

"That really is a pity," Ye Yuan sighed.

Xiao Ruyan was a high-level grand alchemist at twenty, already a top-tier existence in the Raging Wind Realm.

An eighteen-year-old high-level grand alchemist was definitely a top-tier existence in the Boundless Realm.

Such monstrous talent dying young was indeed a pity.

"Indeed. But heaven never seals off all exits. The city lord later gained another grandson, Ren Dong. His talent is also top-notch among the younger generation," Xu Zihui said.

Ye Yuan nodded. He had no disagreement with Ren Dong's talent.

For the lower realm, Ren Dong's talent was already quite impressive.

Ye Yuan described the features of Ye Hang and Ren Hongling in detail to Xu Zihui and instructed, "I entrust the news of these two to you, Brother Zihui. If your son needs any pills, don't hesitate to come to me."

Xu Zihui was overjoyed and quickly said, "I thank Young Master Ye on behalf of my son."

A martial artist's cultivation was inseparable from pills. Given Xu Zihui's strength and status, he certainly didn't lack pills, but the fact that Ye Yuan casually took out a Sea-Gathering Pill showed that his alchemy skill was far beyond that of an ordinary high-level quasi-king alchemist.

Xu Zihui was at the ninth level of the Soul Sea Realm and had spent many years in Wufang City, so his insight was extremely sharp.

Yet he had never heard of any pill that could unconditionally raise a minor realm within the Sea Transformation Realm.

This Ye Yuan was definitely no ordinary person!

Building a good relationship with such a future peerless powerhouse was absolutely worthwhile.

After seeing Xu Zihui off, Ye Yuan was about to leave with Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan when he saw someone pacing back and forth outside the Wind Elegance Pavilion, looking conflicted.

Looking closely, it was none other than Ren Dong.

"Young Master Ren, you're not here to take back your spirit crystals because you can't afford to lose, are you?" Xiao Ruyan teased.

Ren Dong had been lost in thought and hadn't noticed Ye Yuan and the others coming out. Hearing Xiao Ruyan's words, he looked up.

At that sight, Ren Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The woman before him was incredibly beautiful, her delicate features stunning Ren Dong.

Looking at Ye Yuan's side, Yue Mengli's beauty even surpassed Xiao Ruyan's!

Ren Dong's mind went blank: "Miss, you are? Ah! You're not... not... the ugly woman from yesterday, are you?"

"Hey, say that again if you dare!" Xiao Ruyan's face instantly turned cold.

Ren Dong finally came to his senses and quickly waved his hand: "Ah, no, miss, I didn't mean that. I mean, I mean..."

Ren Dong thought for a long time but couldn't find the right words.

The two ugly women from yesterday had transformed into celestial beauties today!

The two beauties before him were more beautiful than all the women he had ever seen combined!

Yesterday he had mocked Ye Yuan's taste, but now he realized he was the real bumpkin!

To have one such stunning woman was already a blessing, yet Ye Yuan had two, enjoying the best of both worlds—was he trying to make all men feel inferior?

No wonder the two beauties had disguised themselves yesterday; they were afraid of trouble.

Ren Dong didn't know that his words yesterday had thoroughly provoked Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan.

Today, when they went out, they refused to disguise themselves. Xiao Ruyan had even dressed up meticulously, looking ethereal and otherworldly.

And Yue Mengli, naturally beautiful, had only to show her true face to outshine all the women in the city.

Ye Yuan was also at a loss. Xiao Ruyan was one thing, but Yue Mengli had always been quiet and elegant, not caring about others' opinions.

Today, she seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, joining Xiao Ruyan in her mischief.

In truth, even Yue Mengli herself probably didn't understand why she cared so much about her appearance.

"What is there to say? Dare you deny you just said it?" Xiao Ruyan was relentless.

Ren Dong was sweating profusely. Before Xiao Ruyan, he had lost the arrogance he showed yesterday.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was blind to mistake a celestial beauty like you for a common woman. What a sin! What a sin!"

"Pah! The way you stared, I knew you were no good—a lecherous glutton!"

"..."

Ye Yuan couldn't bear to watch anymore and interjected, "Alright, Ruyan. Yesterday you were disguised like that, so it's normal for Young Master Ren to misunderstand. Don't be so unforgiving."

Xiao Ruyan pouted but didn't argue, reluctantly stepping back behind Ye Yuan.

Ren Dong was even more surprised. This woman seemed so fierce, yet she didn't dare talk back to Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan's skill with women was truly impressive!

"Young Master Ren, you're not really here to ask for your spirit crystals back, are you?" Ye Yuan looked at Ren Dong with a faint smile.

Ren Dong quickly waved his hand: "No, no. The spirit crystals are a trivial matter. Um... can we talk inside?"

Ren Dong looked around, his expression awkward.

Ye Yuan smiled slightly, knowing he was afraid of being seen and losing face, and nodded.

Once they sat down in the inner hall, Ye Yuan felt helpless. It seemed unlikely they would go out today.

"You can speak now, can't you?" Ye Yuan said.

"Um... could you... teach me how to refine super-grade pills?" Ren Dong rubbed his hands, looking very embarrassed.

Clearly, it took great courage for him to say this.

Ye Yuan was taken aback. He could tell that Ren Dong was a proud person, extremely arrogant. He hadn't expected him to say such a thing.

"Young Master Ren, as far as I know, your grandfather is a peak alchemy emperor. Shouldn't you ask him about alchemy instead of me?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Ren Dong shook his head: "My grandfather may be a peak alchemy emperor, but he couldn't refine super-grade pills at your level. I think you must have some special method to refine super-grade pills."

Ye Yuan's expression turned strange, and he sneered, "Even if I have a way to refine super-grade pills, why should I teach you? Our acquaintance didn't seem to start on a pleasant note, did it?"

Ren Dong's face darkened. It was indeed presumptuous of him to suddenly come and ask Ye Yuan to teach him alchemy.

But he had thought about it all day yesterday and stayed up all night, extremely curious about Ye Yuan's alchemy techniques.

Today, for some reason, he had inexplicably come to the Wind Elegance Pavilion.

Ren Dong looked at Ye Yuan and suddenly stood up.

The movement startled Xiao Ruyan, who quickly stepped in front of Ye Yuan like a protective tigress, snarling, "What are you going to do to my master?"

Ren Dong ignored Xiao Ruyan and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud!
