When everyone heard Ye Chen’s answer, they almost fell to the ground. If it was really that easy to guess the outcome, then would they not all have done it? Would not everyone be a master alchemist?
Xiang Chengdong looked deeply at Ye Chen.
“Since this Sir doesn’t want to say how, I won’t probe further.”
Ye Chen probably did not want anyone to know.
“Forget it. Since you want to know, I’ll tell you. My cultivation technique is inclined toward the fire element and I have a keen intuition regarding anything related to it, which includes alchemy flames. As for why the number was so accurate, well there was a trace of luck involved.”
Ye Chen thought about it and added. He would not leave this matter hanging. There were too many forces in Huaxia. Once he admitted that he was an alchemist, the impact would be unimaginable.
His ability to refine pills should not be publicized.
Deep down, he still wanted to keep a low profile. As for why things kept going contrary to his wishes, it was entirely because others did not allow it.
Thus, although his answer could be considered an explanation, it was also not something that they could figure out.
Xiang Chengdong nodded and reluctantly accepted it. He said, “1 see. Thank you for telling me, Sir.”
“Right, Sir, my cultivation technique is similar to yours. Can 1 compare it with yours later?”
Xiang Chengdong sent out a subtle invitation.
Ye Chen had been waiting for this, so he quickly replied, “I also admire Elder
Xiang very much, so it will be an honor.”
“Good! Oh right, how should 1 address you, Sir?”
“Ye Chen.”
“Mr. Ye. Very well, I’ll get someone to invite Mr. Ye later.”
With that, the conversation between the two ended.
After all, there were too many people here.
Then, Xiang Chengdong returned to the stage and said a few polite words before allowing everyone to disperse. Later, Master Zhao would attempt to refine it for the second time.
It was normal to fail the first time, but with the experience of the first time, the success rate of the second attempt should improve.
Not long after, the old man he had seen outside the Medicine King Valley arrived before Ye Chen and Zhu Ya. He cupped his hands and said, “Eider Xiang has sent me to invite you over.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen and Zhu Ya were then brought to a courtyard in a garden by the old man.
Ye Chen’s eyes widened as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, because it was filled with rare medicinal herbs!
The rare herbs that he could buy in Huaxia were limited. Many of the herbs that were found in the Kunlun Mountains did not exist in Huaxia at all. As such, without those herbs, he would not be able to refine other pills.
However, at this moment, he saw a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Ye Chen stop in his tracks, Zhu Ya asked curiously, “Mr. Ye, do you like these flowers and plants?”
Ye Chen shook his head.
“These are not just flowers and plants. They are all treasures. If you sell them to someone who knows what they are doing, they’ll probably be worth more than the combined wealth of all the major families in Jiangnan Province.”
Zhu Ya was stunned. Was Mr. Ye joking?
This courtyard was not big. Even if the flowers and plants here were worth a lot, it was impossible for them to be worth trillions.
At this moment, a hearty voice rang out. “Mr. Ye has a good eye. It looks like I was not mistaken. Mr. Ye really knows a thing or two about alchemy.”
“Zhu Ya greets Elder Xiang.”
Elder Xiang nodded, and then his gaze turned to Ye Chen.
Zhu Ya knew how to read the room, so she quickly said, “I’ll go over there and take a look at stuff.”
After saying that, she headed to a corner of the courtyard.
Now, Xiang Chengdong and Ye Chen were left alone.
Xiang Chengdong followed Ye Chen’s line of sight and noticed a stalk of white grass. He said, “This herb is called White Soul Grass. The Medicine King Valley has cultivated it for twenty years and only managed to cultivate three stalks.”
At this moment, although his heart ached, he knew very well that if he could not bear to part with these herbs, he would not be able to catch Ye Chen’s fancy.
If Ye Chen really was a top-notch alchemist, the Medicine Alliance’s situation would change completely!
Therefore, the Medicine Alliance needed Ye Chen.
“Alright.”
Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. After all, this herb was considered rare even in the Kunlun Mountains, and he needed it.
This was a treasure among treasures.
Xiang Chengdong was stunned. He did not expect Ye Chen to answer so quickly. He did not even bother with the usual pleasantries.
“Mr. Ye, I’m a little curious and don’t know if I should ask this question. If it’s inconvenient for you to answer, you can refuse.”
Xiang Chengdong really could not suppress his curiosity.
Ye Chen clenched his fingers and a burst of true qi shot out. A stalk of White Soul Grass appeared in his hand.
“Speak.”
When Xiang Chengdong saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched. This Ye Chen was too overbearing. Did he not trust the Medicine Alliance’s honor?
He swallowed his saliva and said helplessly, “Mr. Ye, since you’re an alchemist, 1 wonder what grade and pattern medicinal pills you can refine…”
Pills were divided into nine grades, and each grade was further divided into nine patterns. Therefore, this question was extremely crucial.
The strongest alchemist in the Medicine Alliance was currently in seclusion. He could refine fourth-grade, five-pattern pills.
This was also considered the peak among Huaxia’s alchemists.
If Ye Chen was able to refine third-grade, five-pattern pills or higher, he would be worth the Medicine Alliance’s efforts to recruit.
He stared at Ye Chen, his heart pounding violently.
“I can tell you, but I have conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“First, I want some herbs. They are very expensive. Second, 1 want some information from you.”
Ye Chen’s expression was completely serious.
“This…”
Xiang Chengdong thought for a few seconds, and in the end decided to agree first. After all, Ye Chen’s conditions were ambiguous and there was still room for negotiation.”
“Alright, I agree, but the specifics still require the approval of the Medicine Alliance.””
As soon as Xiang Chengdong finished speaking, Ye Chen said, “I can make fourth-grade eight-pattern pills. If the elements are in harmony, and there are sufficient resources, 1 can attempt fifth-grade pills.”
“What?!”
Xiang Chengdong was shocked, and countless waves rocked his heart.
Ye Chen could even refine fifth-grade pills?
Was this a joke? It should be impossible!
How old was Ye Chen? He was only in his twenties!
Even if he started refining pills in his mother’s womb, such a feat was unbelievable!
F*ck!
“Mr. Ye, don’t joke around…” Xiang Chengdong said in a trembling voice.
“I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, as long as you give me a pill cauldron, I can refine one for you right now.”
This was the reaction that Ye Chen had hoped for,
Only by shocking Xiang Chengdong would the chances of the other party spilling the beans about Ghost Prison be the highest.
Xiang Chengdong’s forehead was covered in sweat. He glanced at Ye Chen and thought for a moment before saying, “Mr. Ye, please come with me. As long as Mr. Ye can refine fourth-grade pills and above, the medicinal herbs of Medicine King Valley are at your disposal. At the same time, if Mr. Ye wants to ask me anything, I will answer to the best of my abilities!”
“Alright..”
