Chapter 819: Soul Martial God King
Peerless Medicine God · 第819章 魂武神王
"Since Sister is so good to me, of course I can't make things difficult for you, right?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
Caiyue rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and spat, "You heartless little brat! You talk about taking my life at every turn, and you say it's for my own good!"
Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "I had no choice but to come to you for help, didn't I?"
"Hmph! Alright, tell me, which alchemist do you want to refine the pill for you? I don't know much about pills, and I can't tell what pill you're trying to make from these spiritual herbs," Caiyue said.
Ninth-grade pills were extremely complex. On the list Ye Yuan had provided, there were as many as nine main ingredients alone, not to mention the auxiliary ones!
Moreover, most ninth-grade pill formulas were closely guarded secrets, rarely shared among alchemists.
So it was hard for everyone to know the formulas like they did with lower-grade pills.
Of course, one advantage for alchemists was that those seeking pills had to provide their own formulas. Over time, high-level alchemists accumulated many pill formulas.
Thus, for a Pill Emperor, the alchemist with higher success rates and better quality would obtain more ninth-grade pill formulas.
Because everyone preferred to have them refine pills.
As for Ye Yuan, he naturally knew a great many ninth-grade pill formulas.
Besides those pills that martial artists asked him to refine, he had also created many unique formulas unknown to the outside world.
So a couple of fifth-grade pill formulas meant nothing to Ye Yuan.
What he gave to the Tianyuan Trading Company were two improved fifth-grade pill formulas.
Exchanging fifth-grade pill formulas for ninth-grade spiritual herbs sounded like a fantasy. But Ye Yuan's formulas could bring immense profits to the Tianyuan Trading Company.
That was something no amount of ninth-grade spiritual herbs could buy.
So the headquarters of the Tianyuan Trading Company would surely agree to this exchange.
"Zhong Zizhen!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
"Pfft..." Caiyue was sipping tea, and upon hearing that name, she sprayed it all out.
"Soul Martial God King Zhong Zizhen!" Caiyue exclaimed.
"That's right, it's him!" Ye Yuan nodded.
"No way, why would the Soul Martial God King refine pills for you? Not to mention you, even if the Guild Master went to him, he wouldn't do that favor!" Caiyue said, exasperated.
Soul Martial God King Zhong Zizhen was the only soul martial artist among the ten God Kings!
It could be said that he was the pinnacle of soul martial artists!
Soul martial artists were already extremely mysterious, and Zhong Zizhen had cultivated the path of soul martial arts to its peak.
What was even more enviable was that Zhong Zizhen was also a peak Pill Emperor, with profound and unfathomable alchemy skills.
Asking such a figure to refine pills—was Ye Yuan joking?
Did the Soul Martial God King lack the compensation you offered?
You ask him to refine pills and he does it—who do you think you are!
Ye Yuan said, "Just deliver a message for me, and he will naturally agree to refine the pill."
Caiyue said nothing, staring at Ye Yuan as if he were a ghost. Suddenly, she neurotically touched Ye Yuan's head and then her own.
"No fever, so why are you talking nonsense? Do you think the ten God Kings are your pet dogs, coming when you call and leaving when you tell them to?"
For martial artists, the ten God Kings were invincible existences that no one dared to provoke.
Who would dare to order around these pinnacle figures of the Divine Realm?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just deliver the message, Sister."
Seeing Ye Yuan's calm demeanor, Caiyue couldn't help but wonder. Could Ye Yuan really have some connection with the Soul Martial God King?
But how was that possible?
"Alright, tell me. But I can't guarantee the trading company will agree to your request!" Caiyue said.
Provoking the ten God Kings was something no force wanted to do, and the Tianyuan Trading Company was no exception.
Not only were the ten God Kings incredibly powerful, but they also had eccentric and unpredictable tempers.
One displeasure could bring utter disaster.
"Don't worry, the trading company will agree," Ye Yuan said.
The trading company was only delivering a message; it wouldn't suffer any loss. Ye Yuan had only given half of the two fifth-grade pill formulas; the other half would be given after the matter was settled.
Ye Yuan believed the trading company couldn't resist the temptation of these two fifth-grade pills.
Caiyue looked at Ye Yuan with flickering eyes, finding it increasingly difficult to see through this youth.
"What exactly is the message?" Caiyue asked curiously.
"Return to hang the grave pines, ten thousand ages know his heart. Tell him these ten characters, and he will refine the pill!" Ye Yuan said.
"Return to hang the grave pines, ten thousand ages know his heart?" Caiyue pondered for a long time but couldn't understand what it meant.
...
With the matter settled, Ye Yuan naturally didn't linger and prepared to leave.
"Young Master Ye, you must come visit me often, don't let me miss you!" Caiyue said coyly.
But now, Caiyue was clearly not as relaxed with Ye Yuan as before. Any observant person could see that facing Ye Yuan, she felt immense pressure!
Hearing this, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Rest assured, Sister, I'll come by when I have time. But Sister, with your Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution, indulgence is only a temporary fix. You should take it easy!"
Caiyue had just been smiling, but now her expression changed drastically. She stammered, "You... you... how do you know I have the Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I've heard a bit about your story, Sister. If it weren't for the Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution, how could you have outlived several husbands? Unless you needed their yang energy."
Caiyue was completely deflated. She smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I want this? But the Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution is a notorious death sentence. What can I do?"
"Hey, nothing is absolute! The Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution isn't necessarily incurable!" Ye Yuan said.
Those with the Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution were all women, with yin birth charts, lacking yang energy in their bodies from birth.
It was a type of spiritual constitution, but an extremely dangerous one.
Those with this constitution were unaware of it in their early years.
But after their first wedding night, the constitution would suddenly erupt, requiring constant absorption of a man's yang energy to survive.
Before long, the man's yang energy would be depleted, and he would die.
Thus, Caiyue had outlived several husbands.
At first, she found it strange, but later, after consulting a high-level alchemist of the trading company, she learned it was due to her Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution.
And this behavior of absorbing men's yang energy was like drinking poison to quench thirst.
The yin energy in Caiyue's body would grow heavier until she eventually died.
Caiyue's seductive nature was actually a matter of necessity.
But hearing Ye Yuan's words, Caiyue clung to them like a lifeline!
"Young Master Ye, you... do you have a way?" Caiyue said excitedly.
She knew her own situation well; she knew she didn't have long to live.
But now, Ye Yuan had given her hope.
