(left) Chapter Sixty-Five Shock
"Kid, you'd better work hard. If you lose, hehe…" Moonlight glanced at Ye Yun with contempt, his mind filled with various pleasures involving him and Lan'er.
Ye Yun smiled calmly and said, "I'll try my best."
"Hmph!" Moonlight became even more disdainful. He hated people who acted indifferent to strange things the most. Without diverting much attention, after sorting the medicinal herbs, he picked one up and tossed it into the cauldron.
Ye Yun observed every move of Moonlight. Moonlight's initial extraction method was obviously too rudimentary for Ye Yun. According to Moonlight's approach, Ye Yun had already mastered it flawlessly by the age of ten. What he was currently practicing was the seamless method of Elder Feng—fluid as flowing clouds.
The cloud-flow method was not only the trademark of a fourth-grade alchemist but also required immense soul power and spiritual strength. But for Ye Yun, these were not daunting; what he lacked was countless practice.
Ye Yun smiled, watching Moonlight toss herbs into the cauldron, thinking in his heart: Is he really a fourth-grade alchemist? A fourth-grade alchemist's approach shouldn't be like this. Could it be that his blessed cauldron increased his success rate in pill refinement? That could be possible.
And indeed, that was the case.
Moonlight looked at Ye Yun puzzled, halting his handwork. "Hey! You're not refining? Could it be that you want to forfeit? Hehe, that's fine too, saves my soul power. Forfeit?"
"No," Ye Yun placed his palm on the body of the Fiery Demon Cauldron. "Watch carefully, it's you who should forfeit."
Then, a scorching flame suddenly erupted from the palm of his right hand, while his left hand smoothly picked up the herbs one by one and threw them into the now raging giant cauldron.
Without the slightest pause, after the first herb was thrown in, by the time the third herb was added, the first had already turned to powder. Under the control of his spiritual power, it flew out of the cauldron and landed in a large jade plate beside him.
Moonlight was shocked. The strength displayed by his opponent far exceeded his imagination. How could he have expected Ye Yun to possess such flawless extraction skills?
However, he quickly calmed down, cast a resentful glance at Ye Yun, and gestured something to the people behind him.
The members of the Hell Envoy Corps immediately understood Moonlight's intention from his gesture: find a way to stop Ye Yun's refining process!\The deputy leader secretly took a silver needle out of a small pouch he carried, thinking to himself: Hehe, kid, soon unknowingly you'll be hit by my deadly silver needle. Let's see how you can compete now.\No one present noticed his change; he had a gloomy face, his eyes hiding a strong sense of pride.\Suddenly, a very faint sound of breaking wind sharply echoed; the target of the silver needle was very clear—it was Ye Yun!\Ye Yun was focused on refining the medicine and naturally could not perceive the increasingly proud look in Yueguang's eyes and the approaching danger.\The people of the Hua Yun Sect were farther from Ye Yun, and even with Hua Yun Yan, a Three-Star Master of Wind, they could not detect it. But the deputy leader made a very serious mistake because he did not know that inside Ye Yun, there was a Feng Lao as if a guardian spirit existed. This mistake would cause his own ugly life to disappear from the continent forever.\At the moment the silver needle was about to touch Ye Yun's head, it mysteriously vanished. Following immediately was a chilling scream!\As everyone's gaze focused, they saw the deputy leader's seven orifices leaking a foul-smelling dark green liquid, and as more and more of it flowed, his body rapidly decayed. In less than a minute, he had turned into a pile of green bones.\Lan'er and Luolan both half-covered themselves, not daring to look directly at that disgusting sight.\"Old Xie!" Yueguang didn't even have time for the match; he knew the cause of Old Xie's death and immediately unleashed his martial skill, rushing toward Ye Yun.\Ye Yun was stunned; with the flame still in his hand, he flung it at the rushing Yueguang, a grand pillar of fire aimed directly at him.\Yueguang forcefully twisted his body in mid-air to narrowly avoid it and continued rushing at Ye Yun.\No more match?\Ye Yun calmly stored the Flame Demon Cauldron into his storage ring, leapt back, and distanced himself from Yueguang.\The opponent was a medicine refiner with not very high cultivation strength, so Ye Yun could easily handle him. Yet Yueguang's understanding was entirely different. He thought since Ye Yun's alchemy skills were better than his, Ye Yun's cultivation strength must be inferior to his. That was why he had attacked Ye Yun without thinking.\"You are the first alchemist to make a move against me," Ye Yun's internal Wind Element burst out, without forming a defensive stance, consolidating into a large net to cover Yueguang.Moonlight regretted the moment Ye Yun made his move because he could sense from Ye Yun's momentum that he was not Ye Yun's match. But since the attack had already been launched, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and slam his entire body's Wind Essence, combined with his Soul Force, into the net, trying to create a breakthrough.\However, things did not go as planned; the net did not pause in the slightest from Moonlight's attack and directly bound Moonlight's forward-moving figure.\"What do you think you're doing?!" Hua Yunyan shouted angrily, glaring at the members of the Hell Envoys.\Seeing the young captain being restrained in an instant, the members of the Hell Envoys did not dare to act recklessly, afraid that the young captain's life would end at Ye Yun's hands. If that happened, even if they returned, they would face the captain's severe punishment.\"Resorting to trickery because you can't win?" Ye Yun still smiled as he faced the members of the Hell Envoys.\Only Moonlight understood these words and did not respond. But a member of the Hell Envoys boldly retorted, "What trickery? We didn't! Don't slander the Hell Envoys!"\Ye Yun stared at Moonlight, tightened the Wind Essence net that bound Moonlight, and said, "You tell them."\Moonlight glared angrily at Ye Yun, but said nothing.\"Is this really the result of the competition?"\Hearing this ordinary voice, the expressions of the Hell Envoys immediately turned respectful.\When a tall figure appeared before the members of the Hell Envoys, they all bowed their heads and said in unison, "Captain!"\Ye Yun examined the middle-aged man in front of him, who appeared to be in his forties. Could this be the captain of the Hell Envoys? He seemed very powerful.\Hua Yunyan's hands, hidden inside her robes, clenched tightly. She knew why the Hell Envoys had grown rapidly. It was all because of the captain's terrifying strength, a Four-Star Wind Sage!
