Chapter 175: Give Him Whatever He Wants!

Jin Nation Academy.

Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong slowly appeared.

The entire Jin Nation Academy seemed somewhat empty as everyone had gone outside the city to watch the great battle.

Now that Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong had returned, they hadn’t arrived yet.

“Junior Brother Huangfu, you are injured, so go and heal your injuries first. We’ll have a good chat once you recover.”

Ye Ping was more concerned about Huangfu Tianlong’s injuries.

Both of them had gone all out and fought for real during the great battle just now. Huangfu Tianlong seemed to have no major problems, but in fact, he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate well.

“Alright.”

Huangfu Tianlong nodded.

“Wait a minute.”

However, the next moment, Ye Ping suddenly called out to Huangfu Tianlong, and then raised his hand where various streams of spiritual energy immediately gathered.

Soon, a pill appeared in Ye Ping’s hand.

In an instant, Huangfu Tianlong was confused.

He looked at Ye Ping in disbelief.

‘What do you mean?’

‘Refining pills?’

Huangfu Tianlong knew a little about the Dao of alchemy, but he had never seen such an alchemy technique before.

He could refine pills using only his hands.

‘Where are the ingredients?’

‘Where’s the pill furnace?’

‘Brother, that’s a bit exaggerated.’

Huangfu Tianlong knew that Ye Ping was very competent, but he did not expect Ye Ping to refine pills using such a method. It gave him a new perception of Ye Ping.

“Junior Brother Huangfu, this is a Qi and Blood Pill that will aid you in your recovery. Take it.”

There was nothing Ye Ping could give to Huangfu Tianlong, so he simply refined a pill to help him heal sooner.

‘This!’

Huangfu Tianlong was stunned.

He did not expect there to really be a pill.

“Take it, we’re considered friends after that battle. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”

Ye Ping mistakenly thought that Huangfu Tianlong was too embarrassed to accept it.

“In that case, thank you so much, Senior Brother Ye.”

Huangfu Tianlong had nothing more to say. He accepted the Qi and Blood Pill before going to a random place to swallow the pill and heal his injuries.

On the other hand, Ye Ping returned to his residence to deal with the matter of the non-poisonous pill.

He had to modify the non-poisonous pill formula for Elder Xu Chang.

The original version would definitely not work so it must be modified.

In the room, Ye Ping took out the rice paper, and after thinking for a moment, Ye Ping began writing.

He made some improvements to the formula.

‘Second Senior Brother’s method of refining pills is to channel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, in order to refine a non-poisonous pill.’

‘However, the question is, what pill?’

‘Indeed, the greatest problem with Second Senior Brother’s pill refining method is what kind of pills to refine.’

‘There are three thousand kinds of pills, which one do you want?’

At first, Ye Ping did not know what he should do if he wanted to refine other types of pills.

Later on, after several trials, Ye Ping understood that in the alchemy method that Xu Luochen had taught him, he would be able to refine whatever pill he was thinking about.

Yes, what he thought would be refined.

However, Ye Ping did not want to pen that down on the pill formula. He knew what kind of pills the Great Xia Dynasty needed, and hence, he wrote down three types of pill formulas.

He wrote down pill formulas for pills to enhance physical strength, Qi and blood, as well as for healing.

Ye Ping decided not to give the others for the time being, because reserving some things was better for both Xu Luochen and himself.

Ye Ping spent less than an hour completing the three pill formulas.

They were much simpler and straightforward than before. There were advantages and disadvantages too. The disadvantage was that they could never master the core methods of alchemy.

They could only refine according to the formula.

The advantage was that the refining method was a little simpler and did not have strict requirements. However, of course, it was only relatively simpler.

After writing the formula, Ye Ping carefully scrutinized it and made sure it was correct before putting it away. He would give it to Xu Chang tomorrow.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

“Senior Brother Ye!”

It was Li Yue’s voice.

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Ping was a little curious, but he also immediately got up and opened the door of the room.

At this moment, Li Yue was standing outside the door, all dolled up. When she saw Ye Ping, she looked slightly embarrassed but quickly explained the purpose of her visit.

“Senior Brother Ye, the first generation Senior Brothers have arranged a feast and invited you over. Senior Brother Huangfu is waiting for you outside.”

Li Yue informed Ye Ping that the first generation Senior Brothers were holding a feast.

After all, this time, Ye Ping had defeated Huangfu Tianlong, and this matter had already spread across the Ten Nations.

On the other hand, Huangfu Tianlong was also invited by Ye Ping to go to the Jin Nation Academy.

As the host, it was impossible for the Jin Nation Academy to do nothing.

However, it was originally supposed to be a feast hosted by the elders, but somehow, the elders of the entire Jin Nation Academy were not in the academy. Hence, the feast was hosted by the first generation disciples.

“Okay, I’ll go right away.”

Ye Ping nodded, briefly packed up, and then left with Li Yue.

“Senior Brother Ye, you were really as ferocious as a god today. Do you know that you’ve become the talk of the town in the Ten Nations now? I’m afraid it won’t be long before everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty finds out about you.”

Li Yue brought Ye Ping to the banquet, and during their journey, she couldn’t help but praise him.

“It’s just a title.”

Ye Ping smiled calmly. He didn’t care much about such a superficial title, probably because he had developed such a character before he practiced immortal cultivation.

“Senior Brother Ye, it seems you’d definitely win the Ten Nations Grand Tournament this time.”

Li Yue continued to speak. She knew that Ye Ping didn’t care about fame and fortune because Li Yu had mentioned it to her previously.

“Ten Nations Grand Tournament? I probably will not be participating in it.”

At the mention of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, Ye Ping shook his head. He did not want to participate in it.

He just wanted to stay in the Jin Nation Academy for this period of time to comprehend the supreme sword intent. After doing so, he would consider other things.

“You’re not participating? Senior Brother Ye, are you not going to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament? Don’t you want to go to the Ten Nations Academy?”

Hearing that Ye Ping did not want to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, Li Yue felt a little surprised.

She didn’t expect Ye Ping to not want to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

Basically, all of the academies in the Ten Nations were working hard in preparation for the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

All the disciples of the academies dreamed of passing the Ten Nations Grand Tournament to enter the Ten Nations Academy.

It was a world ruled by dynasties. No matter how strong a sect was, it was still inferior to a nation and a dynasty.

An academy represented infinite wisdom as they had a collection of countless cultivation methods.

Although joining a sect could allow one to obtain cultivation methods for immortal cultivation, the sects would also have to gain benefits from its disciples.

Sects were different from academies. Academies would only impart teachings without requiring their disciples to do much. However, once the students had their own achievements or gained unique experiences, they would have to contribute to the academy.

Of course, they would just have to contribute to the academy in terms of knowledge.

That was the reason that academies represented wisdom and freedom.

That was the reason that all cultivators wanted to enter an academy.

The national academy.

The Ten Nations Academy.

The Great Xia Dynasty Academy.

It was a complete promotional chain that was similar to the promotional system of the Confucian scholars.

However, it was not that simple to enter the academies.

Even the academies of smaller nations had strict regulations.

For existences like the Jin Nation Academy, no one had the right to directly arrange for disciples to enter unless they were the king of Jin Nation or the rulers.

Even if the students of the Jin Nation Academy did not agree, the king of the Jin Nation could not arrange for anyone to enter.

The higher up, the stricter.

There was only one way to be promoted to the Ten Nations Academy and that was to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

If one had a stellar performance in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, they would be selected to join the Ten Nations Academy. However, the stellar performance might not necessarily refer to the strength in realm.

However, if they did not rely on the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, there would basically be no way for them to enter the Ten Nations Academy.

“Yes, I really don’t want to go.”

Ye Ping nodded. In fact, he didn’t even want to join the Jin Nation Academy in the first place.

He was not used to being in academies and preferred cultivating alone quietly in the sect.

Ye Ping knew that if there were more people, there would be more trouble.

“Senior Brother Ye, you’re really extraordinary.”

Li Yue had a bitter expression. She did not know how to go about explaining to Ye Ping.

Many cultivators wished they could join the Ten Nations Academy, and yet Ye Ping did not want to join the Ten Nations Academy.

“By the way, Junior Sister Li, let me ask you something.”

While walking, Ye Ping suddenly thought of something.

“Senior Brother Ye, go ahead.”

Li Yue was a little curious and wondered what Ye Ping had to ask.

“Do you know how to earn Spirit Stones in a short period of time?”

Ye Ping asked with a calm expression.

‘Huh?’

“Spirit Stones?”

Li Yue was stunned.

She couldn’t quite understand what Ye Ping was thinking.

A second ago, they were talking about something lofty like the Ten Nations Academy, and the next, they were actually talking about earning Spirit Stones.

‘Do Spirit Stones need to be earned?’

“Senior Brother Ye, are you being serious?”

Li Yue really didn’t know what to say.

“Is it very troublesome?”

Ye Ping frowned. He didn’t know much about such things like Spirit Stones, but be it in his previous life or the current one, Ye Ping knew that money was hard to earn.

“It’s not very troublesome, it’s just that at your level, you shouldn’t be worried about things like Spirit Stones, right?”

“Senior Brother Ye, if you really need Spirit Stones, you may look for my brother. He’s rich and has plenty of Spirit Stones.”

In fact, Li Yue didn’t know how to earn Spirit Stones because the royals would prepare everything that she wanted.

“Yes.”

Ye Ping nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Ye Ping could not bring himself to ask others for help. Previously, he had already made an exception when he asked Li Yue for a few hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones.

If he had to go to Li Yu, it would be pointless. Besides, he needed a few thousands or tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

At this time, the two arrived at the ceremony hall.

In the ceremony hall, the first and second generation Senior Brothers had all arrived.

The only remaining elders had also taken their seats.

Apart from that, the other disciples were waiting outside, and they were not qualified to enter.

Even if Li Yue was the princess of Jin Nation, she was not qualified to enter.

However, a joyous event had happened after all, and there were banquets in and outside the hall. Some disciples were also celebrating outside the ceremony hall.

After Ye Ping appeared, all the disciples got up one after another and bowed at Ye Ping.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Ye.”

Everyone including the third generation and fourth generation disciples all addressed Ye Ping as their Senior Brother.

Ye Ping used his strength to earn that title.

In the academy, age was not an important determinant for whether one could be called a Senior Brother or not. Those who were strong would be qualified to be called Senior Brother.

Ye Ping did not respond and instead bowed to the crowd. Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the hall.

He had a calm expression on his face, and under the gazes of everyone, he entered the hall.

The ceremony hall of the Jin Nation Academy was luxurious and majestic.

The empty hall was lined with twenty-four jade tables on the left and right sides, on which there was a huge spread of delicacies and wine.

In the ceremony hall, everyone could not help but look at Ye Ping.

However, everyone seemed to have shifty gazes and they even slightly lowered their heads.

Ye Ping walked into the ceremony hall, and for the first time, he saw a few people he was familiar with.

Yes, he saw some acquaintances.

“It’s you guys?”

Stepping into the ceremony hall, Ye Ping couldn’t help but be shocked again after seeing his acquaintances.

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but be curious as they looked at Ye Ping, followed by Fang Lei, Mo Xiaoping, Duanmu Yun, and the others.

Hearing Ye Ping’s voice, Fang Lei and Duanmu Yun and others became even more ashamed.

In fact, even after seeing Ye Ping previously, they still dared not confirm that Ye Ping was the Essence Demon King of the Essence Demon Mystic Realm.

Duanmu Yun was the only one who was sure.

“Do you guys know each other?”

Some elders couldn’t help but ask. They looked at Fang Lei, followed by Ye Ping, their eyes full of curiosity.

Before Duanmu Yun and the others could speak, Ye Ping looked at Duanmu Yun.

“Fairy Duanmu, have you turned over a new leaf?”

Ye Ping walked over and asked seriously while looking at Duanmu Yun.

After hearing that, Duanmu Yun was stunned.

So was everyone else.

‘Turned over a new leaf?’

‘What do you mean turned over a new leaf?’

In particular, Duanmu Yun was looking at Ye Ping with a deadpan expression.

‘What turn over a new leaf?’

‘I’m an orthodox cultivator to begin with, okay?’

Duanmu Yun cried internally.

‘If you can’t talk, don’t talk, okay?’

Everyone was confused and really didn’t know what happened.

Finally, Mo Xiaoping stood up with a bitter smile before telling everyone what happened.

He didn’t care about his pride anymore.

‘I’ll try my best to explain.’

Indeed, everyone immediately understood after hearing Mo Xiaoping’s explanation.

Ye Ping also did not expect that to be the truth.

All of a sudden, Ye Ping could not help but feel slightly embarrassed.

After everyone heard Mo Xiaoping’s explanation in the ceremony hall, they all couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“You’re now friends after the fight. Come on, Ye Ping, quickly take your seat.”

Some elders smiled and asked Ye Ping to sit down.

“You’re right, Elder.”

“I also hope that you guys can understand.”

Ye Ping chuckled bitterly. To be honest, if it wasn’t for Mo Xiaoping’s explanation, he really wouldn’t know that that was how things were.

However, at the end of the day, there was still a problem with the Teleportation Array.

The Teleportation Array was problematic.

“It’s okay, it’s just a trivial matter. The elder is right, we wouldn’t have known each other without a fight. Ye Ping, I once had some misunderstanding about you, now it seems that I’m the one who jumped to conclusions. I’ll punish myself with three cups of wine.”

Fang Lei picked up the wine cup and apologized for some things that happened before.

He was very bold and simply drank three cups of wine.

After saying that, Fang Lei continued, “Fellow Daoist Ye, you and I hit it off well, I’ll toast to you thrice again.”

Gulp gulp!

He chugged three cups of wine.

After drinking, Fang Lei continued, “Today, you’ve earned dignity for the Jin Nation Academy, so I’ll toast thrice to you again.”

However, before he finished speaking, an elder couldn’t help but say, “If you want to cheat us out of some wine and food, just say so, what’s the point of saying such pompous things?”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter after hearing that.

Ye Ping also smiled and sat down.

He sat down on the third seat on the left, opposite Huangfu Tianlong.

“Senior Brother Ye!”

Huangfu Tianlong picked up his wine cup and took the initiative to drink as a form of respect.

At this moment, someone asked everyone to toast together.

“Come on, let’s all toast to Ye Ping.”

Hearing that, everyone lifted their glasses including Ye Ping.

At this moment, in the Great Xia Dynasty palace.

In the Crown Prince’s Hall.

The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was sitting quietly in front of his table.

There were some scrolls on the table.

The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was reading attentively.

There were two people below the palace, hanging their heads low and staying silent.

It seemed to be extremely quiet in the hall.

After a while, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty put down the bamboo scroll. He then closed his eyes.

“It seems that the matter of the non-poisonous pill is true.”

He muttered to himself and shut his eyes tightly.

He was afraid that the other party would see the excitement in his eyes. Hence, he closed his eyes and suppressed it.

“Your Highness, the non-poisonous pill is extremely important and the king of the Jin Nation, Li Jin, has already seen His Majesty. What should we do?”

The other party lowered his head and asked.

“Li Jin is really a sly old fox. After getting the non-poisonous pill, he didn’t pocket it but chose to hand it to the Great Xia Dynasty. In this case, my father will give him great credit and make the best choice. I thought that he would pocket it. He’s really a sly old fox.”

“He made the right choice but his only mistake is to pass the people below. I’m afraid that it’d be hard to suppress this matter, and by then, Li Jin will also face trouble.”

“However, it doesn’t matter. Hand this gold token of mine to Li Jin and see if he’s willing to accept it. If he is, it will ensure his safety, and if he doesn’t, don’t harm him either.”

“Ye Ping is the most important.”

“Since Father has obtained the non-poisonous pill formula, he will definitely refine it. Besides, I’m certain that Ye Ping won’t really hand over the real non-poisonous pill formula. He’d definitely reserve something unless he’s a saint.”

“We must rope Ye Ping in, and as long as he becomes a person of this palace, we will also get the non-poisonous pill formula. We don’t have to mass produce it first, but as long as we can refine some important non-poisonous pills, it would be very useful for us too.”

“Foundation Establishment, Realm Breakthrough, Nascent Soul, and even Essence Soul Pills, or Purple Spirit Tribulation Transcendence Pills will have powerhouses vying for them.”

“Yan Shi, go look for Ye Ping and hand this purple jade bead to him as a greeting gift. Try to find something out from him too.”

The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty still couldn’t control his emotions and said a little too much.

“Yes.”

The man on the left nodded.

However, the old man on the right couldn’t help but frown.

“Your Highness, I think the non-poisonous pill is really important, if we send someone to go on our behalf, it’s… insincere.”

“Why don’t you go there yourself? I just heard that Ye Ping has defeated the Nan Nation genius, Huangfu Tianlong. He’s probably an arrogant person. If you go personally, it might be better.”

The elder said, thinking that it would be best for the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty to go there in person.

However, at this moment, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty opened his eyes.

His eyes were golden and different from that of normal people.

His eyes were full of pride.

“I’m the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and he’s a genius with a high status. However, my status is superior to his. The more you pay attention to him, the more arrogant he’s going to get.”

“Teacher, please do as I say.”

The Great Xia Dynasty Crown Prince was very prideful.

He yearned to obtain the pill formula greatly, but he cared more about his status and position.

The latter remained silent.

“Okay, Yan Shi, you may set off now. Don’t cause a delay. I want an answer tomorrow.”

“You can promise him. I will give him anything he wants at any price.”

The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty said confidently.

“Yes.”

The latter nodded and then disappeared right on the spot.
