Chapter 44 - The Refining Method of Nine Yin and Yang (1/2)

Refining these pills for Yun Shu had been an easy job, not taking him too long. After a click sound, twenty pills were ready. This time, there were nine Fine pills, which had broken his past record.

“This… Is that what happens when Life Flame is awakened?” Yun Shu exclaimed.

At the same time, Senior Ye also looked shocked when he saw this. As an alchemist master and the most powerful man in the Fire Mystic Sect in three thousand years, he once enjoyed the ultimate fame and glory.

But for so many years, there had been no one qualified to take on his mantle.

This, of course, was not because no one wanted to take him as their teacher, but because he had really high standards, and even after so much time passed, no one could qualify as his student.

But what he had never anticipated was his encounter with Yun Shu here in the Valley of Crime of all places, where he was imprisoned.

In terms of talent, Yun Shu fully met his criteria. In fact, it had exceeded his expectations by a wide margin!

However, his years of imprisonment in the Valley of Crime made him extremely vigilant. Although Yun Shu had just helped him, that was still not enough to win his trust.

After all, it was their first time meeting each other. While Ye recognized the young man’s talent, he still did not know him well enough to accept him as a personal disciple.

Who knew what kind of person this youngster was? Would he be like that ungrateful man who betrayed him?

Thinking in this way, he temporarily dismissed the idea of imparting Yun Shu his own refining technique.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ye said to Yun Shu, “Now, boy, I’ll teach you how to make Huitian pills and the required ingredients. Listen to me carefully.”

The technique that Ye decided to tell Yun Shu was indeed correct, but far more primitive than his own refining method.

Yun Shu wasn’t aware of Ye’s thoughts. He just paid his full attention to Senior Ye’s lecture, costing him half an hour.

With his excellent memory, Yun Shu remembered the whole procedure. However, there were still many key steps he didn’t really understand.

But now that he had the formula, it was just a matter of time for him to figure it out.

After making sure that he remembered every single step, Yun Shu respectfully stated, “Senior, I have one more question.”

“Go ahead,” said Senior Ye.

“Do you know of any pills that can regenerate a broken arm?” asked Yun Shu.

That question was for his father, Yun Wanli.

“Regenerate a broken arm? Why?” Senior Ye questioned, frowning.

Yun Shu replied honestly, “My father lost an arm many years ago. I wonder if any pill can make him whole.”

“Your father’s also in the Fire Mystic Sect?” Senior Ye asked casually.

“That’s right. My father’s name is Yun Wanli, but he’s only a servant in the sect—” Yun Shu explained.

Before Yun Shu could finish his sentence, Senior Ye reacted violently, as if he had been given the shock of a lifetime. His breath became rapid and heavy, as though he had just run a few hundred miles.

Responding to his emotional outburst, the Nine-dragon Pillar instantly lit up, and the nine dragons bound Senior Ye even tighter.

“Senior? What happened?!” Yun Shu suddenly got nervous and fidgety.

After a long time, Senior Ye’s started to calm down, so did the Nine-dragon Pillar.

“Boy, what did you say your father’s name was again?” Senior Ye asked aloud.

“Yun… Yun Wanli!” Yun Shu said with some hesitation.

“Is there a red mole on the left side of your father’s face, below the temple?” Ye asked.

Astounded, Yun Shu said, “Senior, how do you know that? You’re familiar with my father?”

Senior Ye smiled sadly and said, “Do I know your father? Of course! What a surprise! You are his son!”

Yun Shu was totally in a daze now! He couldn’t follow the turn of events at all.
