Chapter 952: The Sun and Moon Shine Together!

While Ye Yuan and Yue Jianqiu were conversing in the inner chamber, Yue Mengli was completely overwhelmed.

"Lier, your Uncle Jianye has doted on you since you were little. Many of the pills you ate as a child were refined by him. Once our son-in-law comes out, could you let your Uncle Jianye see him first?"

"Forget it! I heard that when you found out Lier had taken a native from the lower realm, you opposed it plenty! Lier, when it comes to loving you, it's your Uncle Jianxun who loves you the most! When you were little, Uncle Jianxun often held you."

"I say, brothers, stop arguing! My illness is life-threatening and can't be delayed!" Yue Jianfeng said loudly.

These days, Yue Jianfeng had been extremely anxious.

Ye Yuan's words that day kept echoing in his ears, keeping him in a state of depression.

He wanted to ask Ye Yuan for details, but Ye Yuan was too busy.

First, he helped Yue Mengli refine the Soul Separation Pill, then immediately went into seclusion, and after coming out, participated in the Bright Moon Grand Competition.

These were all major matters concerning the clan; how could he squeeze in?

Now that the Bright Moon Grand Competition had finally settled, he came to find Ye Yuan at the first opportunity. But Ye Yuan was too sought after now; a large crowd was waiting in line.

Seeing these uncles and elders vying to meet Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli felt honored.

"Uncles and elders, it's not that Lier doesn't want to help you, but I really can't make decisions for Brother Yuan! Whomever he wants to see, after he comes out, let him decide himself." Yue Mengli said with a flattering smile.

Just as they were speaking, Yue Jianqiu and Ye Yuan came out of the inner chamber, and the hall fell silent.

Yue Jianqiu's expression was unpleasant; Ye Yuan was completely impervious to persuasion, and he hadn't obtained any useful information.

Instead, Ye Yuan's analysis made him vaguely worried about Han Tong and the others.

Yue Jianqiu swept his gaze over the crowd, said nothing more, and left directly.

As soon as he left, a group immediately crowded around, chattering incessantly.

"Alright, all of you shut up!" Ye Yuan said coldly, and these people obediently stopped.

If an ordinary junior had spoken to them like that, they would have been slapped long ago.

But Ye Yuan was different; he didn't even put Quan Xingzi in his sights! Moreover, Ye Yuan was peerless in both alchemy and martial arts, and would surely achieve terrifying accomplishments in both paths in the future.

Perhaps Ye Yuan was the next Soul Martial Divine King!

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Yue Jianfeng stays; everyone else leave! Tomorrow I will hold a lecture on alchemy. If you have any questions about alchemy, you can ask me then. Each person gets only one chance. Go back and think carefully about what to ask!"

Hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed and took their leave one after another.

A group of Alchemy Emperors, in front of Ye Yuan, were as respectful as students.

Ye Yuan exchanged a glance with Yue Mengli and couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.

This outcome was predictable.

The alchemy strength Ye Yuan had displayed far surpassed that of ordinary Alchemy Emperor experts. As the saying goes, those who achieve mastery are teachers; being sought after by these Alchemy Emperors was only natural.

"Um... son-in-law, what exactly is wrong with my body?" Yue Jianfeng cupped his hands and asked for advice.

Ye Yuan sat casually in the seat of honor and said indifferently, "Azurefall Spirit Root is very rare, and I imagine your Yue family's stock is not large. If I'm not mistaken, some Alchemy Emperor of your Yue family took it upon himself to replace the Azurefall Spirit Root with Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf, right?"

In his previous life, Ji Qingyun had once prescribed a formula for Yue Jianfeng. As long as Yue Jianfeng took the medicine according to the formula, the injury to his Yangqiao Meridian would naturally heal.

Azurefall Spirit Root was one of the medicinal herbs in the formula.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yue Jianfeng was extremely astonished.

Ye Yuan didn't even need to take his pulse to know his prescription—how monstrous was that?

Moreover, Ye Yuan was spot on. The Yue family's Azurefall Spirit Root had indeed been nearly exhausted by him. Forced to act, Yue Jianfeng had to take the prescription to an Alchemy Emperor elder of the clan.

As a result, that Alchemy Emperor elder took it upon himself to replace the Azurefall Spirit Root with Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf.

"Son-in-law, you are truly divine, even knowing this! The Yue family's Azurefall Spirit Root was only enough for me to use for half a year. Helpless, I sought out Elder Lingtao. He looked at the prescription and said that Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf could replace Azurefall Spirit Root, so..."

The Elder Lingtao Yue Jianfeng mentioned was a mid-grade Alchemy Emperor elder of the Yue family, highly respected.

Ye Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf and Azurefall Spirit Root do have overlapping medicinal effects in this prescription, and they can indeed heal the Yangqiao Meridian injury. However... there is another auxiliary herb in the prescription, Azure Jade Celestial Star Grass. When mixed with Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf and decocted into medicine, it produces a chronic toxin that can paralyze a martial artist's mind at irregular intervals. Over time, as the toxin accumulates to a certain level, it can even drive one completely insane! The reason you now find it hard to enter a meditative state and occasionally experience interruptions in your Yuan power usage is precisely this."

Yue Jianfeng's expression changed drastically!

Back then, when Elder Lingtao changed his prescription, he found the effects no different from before and was extremely grateful to Elder Lingtao.

He never expected that Brahma Heaven Secret Leaf would have such serious consequences!

"This... what can be done?" Yue Jianfeng was completely at a loss upon hearing this.

Ye Yuan said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother. But I know that over the years, you have taken good care of Lier. For Lier's sake, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing. I'll write you a prescription. Take the medicine according to it, and within ten days, you will surely recover."

Yue Jianfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, son-in-law! Thank you, son-in-law!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You are Lier's elder, and thus naturally my elder as well. Such great courtesy should be avoided in the future; I cannot bear it."

Having obtained the prescription, Yue Jianfeng cherished it like a treasure and left in high spirits.

Yue Mengli sighed and said, "Brother Yuan, this is really hard on you!"

Ye Yuan understood her thoughts and naturally knew what Yue Mengli was referring to. Ye Yuan had once been a revered peak existence, and even a Daoxuan realm expert like Yue Jianfeng had to treat him with respect.

But now, for her sake, he had to lower his status and address these people as uncles and elders.

Ye Yuan, however, smiled and said, "I've said it before; Qingyunzi is already a thing of the past. What stands before you now is just a native who ascended from the lower realm. As for those vanities, as long as your strength is sufficient, they will come on their own!"

...

Over the next two days, Ye Yuan held lectures on alchemy at the Yue family, answering every question from those Alchemy Emperors.

After two days, these Alchemy Emperor experts developed genuine respect for a mere Alchemy Venerable.

His insights into alchemy were simply beyond their reach.

The gap was too great!

One evening half a month later, the moon over Bright Moon City suddenly became exceptionally bright, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime!

At the same time, the sun over Sunscorch City blazed with even greater radiance, as if it would pierce the sky.

The sun and moon shining together had finally arrived!
