"That's it!
Son, your illness is truly cured!"
Lu Dachong was overjoyed to the extreme.
"Flowing Cloud Alchemist, no, I should call you Master Liuyun. Not only is your alchemy profound, but your medical skills are also top-notch. Thank you for your life-saving kindness. Please accept this bow from Lu Dachong!"
Lu Dachong suddenly walked in front of Ye Yunfei and bowed deeply.
During this period, his son had been tormented by the strange poison inside his body, suffering terribly.
As a father, he had naturally been worried sick, taking his son everywhere to seek medical help and medicine, even going so far as to consult several Treasure Pill Masters, but none could thoroughly eradicate it.
After hearing the legend of the Flowing Cloud Alchemist, he came seeking medicine with a try-my-luck, desperate-for-a-cure mindset.
He never expected that now, with just a single First-Grade Treasure Pill, his son was completely cured.
The excitement in his heart was beyond words.
"Weren't you saying I was trying to scam money?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to Lu Hailong standing nearby, who was already dumbstruck, and spoke with a faint smile.
"I..."
Lu Hailong opened his mouth but had no words to reply, feeling extremely awkward.
"Lu Hailong, you dared to slander Master earlier. Don't just stand there! Go over and kneel to apologize to Master immediately!
Otherwise, I'll strip you of your elder position right now!"
Lu Dachong roared.
"Master Liuyun, I was wrong earlier. I presumed a noble mind with my own ignorable one.
Please forgive me, Master!"
Lu Hailong had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he walked before Ye Yunfei and knelt down in public, speaking in a low voice.
A Treasure Pill Master's status was supremely respected, not someone he could afford to offend.
If Ye Yunfei held a grudge against him, a few words from the master would probably bring a horde of experts looking for trouble.
Besides, if he dared not apologize, Lu Dachong standing right before him wouldn't let him off either.
"Let there not be a next time."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
"Alright.
Gate Master Ji, we have troubled you during this time.
I should be leaving now."
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at Gate Master Ji and spoke.
Fengyun Jue understood Ye Yunfei's intention and immediately waved a hand. A black carriage appeared before the crowd.
"Master Liuyun, how about coming to our White Tiger Gang for a few days? I will surely receive Master with the utmost hospitality!"
Lu Dachong immediately spoke up.
"Thank you for your kindness, Leader Lu.
I intend to travel around."
Ye Yunfei replied with a light smile.
"Then how about this. This is a specially-made communication jade slip from our White Tiger Gang. Please carry it with you, Master. In the future, if you ever need any help, Master, you can simply send me a message."
Lu Dachong took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Yunfei.
The crowd couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Lu Dachong was an expert at the First Level of Grotto-Heaven Realm.
This meant Master Liuyun could call upon a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert for aid anytime in the future!
Such was the influence of an alchemy master!
"Much obliged."
Ye Yunfei didn't decline either, accepting the jade slip.
"Leader Lu, the cultivation technique you practice is yang-based and explosive, but it's overly fierce with insufficient residual force.
Thus, the higher your realm, the greater the difficulty of breakthrough will be.
In the future, when cultivating, consuming a few Seven Stars Mist Fruits will yield unexpected surprises."
Ye Yunfei glanced at Lu Dachong and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lu Dachong's body shook violently, his face displaying wild delight.
Naturally, he understood the cultivation technique he practiced very well.
Everything Ye Yunfei said about the characteristics of this technique was spot on!
Therefore, Ye Yunfei's suggestion struck every chord in his heart!
He understood that, because of these few words from Ye Yunfei, his cultivation would likely undergo a complete transformation from now on.
Perhaps, before long, he would advance another layer!
"Master Liuyun's guidance has opened my eyes to new possibilities! It benefits me immensely!
Please accept this bow from Lu Dachong!"
After speaking, Lu Dachong bowed deeply towards Ye Yunfei once more.
"You are too courteous, Leader Lu."
Ye Yunfei nodded slightly, turned, and entered the carriage cabin.
Fengyun Jue sat cross-legged in front of the carriage, raising the long whip, ready to urge the horses to depart.
"Young master!
In the future, will I... have a chance to see you again?..."
Ji Xue suddenly rushed forward, her face red, stuttering as she asked.
Ever since hearing Ye Yunfei was leaving, Ji Xue had been restless and anxious, feeling as if she was about to lose something very important.
She remembered that scene in Ye Yunfei's room when, to save her father, she was about to disrobe and serve him for the night. For some reason, a strange sense of warmth welled up in her heart.
Only now did she suddenly realize, from who knew when, her heart had become filled with the shadow of this young master.
"Let's go!"
Fengyun Jue gave a light shout. The Crimson Flame Demonic Horses pulled the carriage, soaring into the air.
"Young master..."
Ji Xue's call was somewhat feeble.
She understood this young master's origins were mysterious, his resources vast, and he was a Treasure Pill Master.
With her status, she probably didn't deserve him.
"Take this Snow-Melting Spirit Milk Pill.
It can enhance your martial cultivation talent."
Suddenly, a voice came from the carriage cabin growing distant.
Then, a jade bottle flew out, landing before Ji Xue.
"Thank you."
Ji Xue immediately grasped the jade bottle in her hand, a glimmer of anticipation appearing in her eyes.
"I will cultivate diligently. One day, I will make myself worthy to stand before you..."
Ji Xue gazed at the carriage cleaving through the sky, secretly making a vow in her heart.
Soon, various miraculous legends about Master Liuyun began to spread rapidly.
Especially after hearing this Master Liuyun was a Treasure Pill Master, countless martial artists felt admiration and flocked to seek pills.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei headed slowly towards the direction of the Alchemy Tower.
Of course, Ye Yunfei wasn't in a hurry. He moved at a leisurely pace, stopping now and then, even sightseeing everywhere.
For martial artists who came seeking pills, as long as they could provide satisfactory payment, Ye Yunfei was very generous, helping every one of them.
Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang both mastered multi-cauldron alchemy methods, their pill-refining speed extremely fast. No matter how many seekers came, they could handle them all.
Moreover, the pills Ye Yunfei refined had remarkably obvious effects.
Instant breakthroughs on the spot, recovery as soon as the medicine was administered, even marrow cleansing and tendon replacement, talent enhancement, and reviving the dead—none were a problem!
It must be known, having once been a Heavenly Emperor and also an Alchemy Venerable, Ye Yunfei's understanding of the human body had reached a terrifyingly profound level.
Even if only a Soul Body remained, Ye Yunfei had ways to reconstruct a physical body, let alone issues involving mere repairs and patches on a physical form.
Thus, the title of Master Liuyun grew increasingly famous.
More martial artists came seeking pills!
It must be understood, most alchemy masters in the world were highly aloof and eccentric, unwilling to help refine pills easily.
But this Master Liuyun was different. As long as the money was right, anything could be discussed, almost fulfilling every request.
Therefore, every martial artist who heard the news was stirred, selling everything they had, gathering their wealth, and coming to seek pills.
Gradually, the title of Master Liuyun resounded throughout the entire Central Continent!
One could say, unknown to no one!
Even several top forces in the Central Continent sent people to seek pills from Master Liuyun!
One day.
"Master, today, this is already the tenth batch of people coming seeking pills."
After seeing off a batch of seekers, Fengyun Jue sighed in relief, driving the carriage as it slowly moved through the air.
"Mm."
Inside the carriage cabin, Ye Yunfei nodded slightly.
"Master, the income from refining pills during this period has already equalled the entire annual total income of the Fengyun Family."
Fengyun Jue added.
During this time, he really collected money until his hands went soft!
Inside the cabin, Ye Yunfei didn't reply.
Because Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of a problem.
"Why should I trouble myself over where to gather wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to cultivate my Greenwood Emperor Body.
With my current fame as Master Liuyun, I only need to spread the word: whoever can provide wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I'll refine pills for them.
This way, probably countless martial artists across the Central Continent will go collect wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for me."
Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
"From now on, for those coming to seek pills, we only accept wood-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. We will not accept anything else."
Ye Yunfei said to Fengyun Jue.
"Understood, Master."
Fengyun Jue nodded.
Although he found it strange, he knew that when it came to Ye Yunfei's words, he simply needed to follow the orders.
