This time, Ye Chen had no choice but to take out the scales and skin in order to afford the Archaic Illusory Reality Pill.
“You really don’t have them?” The girl asked with interest.
Her eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, trying to identify signs of lying.
“No, I don’t.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen left with Shen Shixi. His attitude was extremely cold and firm.
“You…”
When Ye Chen walked out of the appraisal room, the girl pouted and snorted in dissatisfaction.
“Humph! They are two interesting fellows. Barkley, help me find out his identity! He must have the tendons!”
When Ye Chen’s figure disappeared from the young girl’s sight, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile of amusement.
She wanted to see who this person who ignored her was.
“Miss, isn’t this against the rules?”
“Do as I say.”
Although the old man was from Yibao Pavilion, he was also from the Ji family, so she could order him around.
“Yes, I’ll try my best. However, it’ll be troublesome if the people in charge of Yibao Pavilion find out.”
Yibao Pavilion, first floor.
“Mr. Ye, are you saying that the woman is really from the Ji family? You really don’t have the tendons of the Black Explosion Python that she mentioned?” Shen Shixi asked curiously as he looked at Ye Chen.
“I don’t care if she’s from the Ji family! Yibao Pavilionis a mysterious place, and who knows what kind of expert is standing behind her?”
Ye Chen’s expression was grave.
When Ye Chen faced the seemingly harmless girl just now, the sense of danger he felt was extremely real. This was a feeling that Ye Chen had never felt before. As such, there was no way that he would act carelessly.
“As for the tendons? They are with me now, but there’s no way I’m giving it to her. I could barely even stomach giving out half of the skin and scales, let alone these valuable tendons.”
“I’m not that short of money.”
Ye Chen sneered.
“That’s true!”
Shen Shixi nodded.
He even thought highly of Ye Chen.
Most people would probably try to curry favor with the Ji family, but Mr. Ye had no intention of fawning over them at all, and rejected them decisively.
If outsiders knew about this, their jaws would definitely drop.
However, Ye Chen’s status was extremely noble. He was also the master of the Myriad Sword sect. With the backing of that ancient mighty expert, what could the Ji family do?
As long as he was given time, perhaps he would be able to establish the Ye family in the Kunlun Mountains as well.
“By the way, Mr. Ye, you bought the medicinal cauldron and the medicinal herb. Do you want to refine pills? In the Kunlun Mountains, alchemists have a high status. However, every alchemist is a core figure of their respective forces, and some even have strong ties with more than one faction.”
You… Don’t tell me you want to…”
Shen Shixi suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Chen in shock.
There were thousands of Daos in the world. The path of martial arts was a long one. After tens of millions of years, a few special groups of people had gradually emerged.
Alchemists who refined medicinal pills, Talisman Masters who drew talismans, and formation masters who created formations. These were undoubtedly the three most respected professions related to the path of martial arts.
Unfortunately, the price to pay to become one of these people was extremely high, and it was definitely not something an ordinary person could afford. They needed a huge force to support them.
Now, Ye Chen…
It was true that he had the Myriad Daos Swordmaster behind him.
However, with the powerful sword techniques and combat strength of the Myriad Daos Swordmaster, those big shots would usually focus on one thing seriously.
There were no all-rounded figures in the Kunlun Mountains. If they did not devote themselves to cultivating a singular path, they would fall behind their peers, and it would have a huge impact on one’s cultivation.
He did not want Ye Chen to take such a path.
The Myriad Daos Swordmaster’s teachings were enough to benefit Ye Chen for a lifetime. If Ye Chen dabbled in alchemy, he would only be distracted and waste his talent.
“I’m just interested in alchemy…”
Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. He paused and continued, About that medicinal cauldron. Don’t judge it based on its simple and shabby appearance. It suits me very well.”
The spiritual sword he had won at the auction was being prepared for her months
At this point, Ye Chen felt rather emotional. In this world, the strong were respected, and a large number of resources were concentrated in the hands of this small group of people.
As for ordinary people? It was almost impossible for them to obtain resources, much less become an alchemist.
Thinking this, Ye Chen’s eyes burned with a strong fighting spirit.
He was already prepared to activate another tombstone.
On one hand, it was for Duan Leiren, while on the other hand, it was for his own alchemy skills. His alchemy skills and his medical skills were considered top-notch in Huaxia, but in the Kunlun Mountains, he was still lacking.
Even the medicinal pills he refined now could not keep up with the rate at which he broke through. The more he experienced, the more Ye Chen realized the importance of pills!
Now that there was an opportunity, Ye Chen hoped to seize it.
“Mr. Ye…This…”
Shen Shixi did not expect him to really want to become an alchemist. He did not know what to say.
He could only sigh when he felt Ye Chen’s determination.
The other party was his master, so he naturally could not refute his master’s decision.
Otherwise, if Ye Chen were to get angry, he would probably lose his position as an elder in the Myriad Sword sect.
While the two of them were chatting, a few figures appeared in their field of vision.
They were from the Blood Alliance, led by Xue Fenghua!
However, Xue Fenghua did not leave immediately after receiving the item for auction. Instead, he walked toward Ye Chen and Shen Haihua, who were in disguise.
There was some unfriendliness on his face.
Shen Shixi felt that something was wrong and said softly, “Mr. Ye, it seems that these people from the Blood Alliance know that we were the ones who won the bid for the Archaic Illusory Reality Pill. After all, we just came out from there.”
“However, don’t worry, Mr. Ye. It’s impossible for these people to figure out your identity.”
Ye Chen did not panic at all. He looked calmly at the oncoming members of the Blood Alliance.
There was even a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
He and the Blood Alliance had long been at loggerheads. Regardless of whether these people from the Blood Alliance had any conflicts with him, he would definitely kill them when they left this place.
With Shen Shixi by his side and Duan Leiren’s help, it would not be too difficult.
Xue Fenghua stopped and stared coldly at Ye Chen.
“Are you the one who won the bid for the Archaic Illusory Reality Pill?”
Although he did not know Ye Chen’s background, there was an old man beside Ye Chen, and this pair only had a private room in the corner of the auction hall.
Such a person would not have any powerful background in the Kunlun Mountains. Thus, he was unafraid and wanted to snatch the pill from Ye Chen..
