Chapter 734: Guidance

Pfft!

Seeing Zhao Yun’s frustrated expression, Sona couldn’t help but laugh. Even Wu Qianqian, standing behind her, covered her mouth and giggled.

He had been so aggressive with his challenge just moments ago, but now he was cowering after Ye Wushuang took a single step!

When they saw Sona laughing, the faces of the group flushed red. They glared fiercely at Ye Wushuang, blaming him for everything.

"Brat, we admit we’re no match for you in terms of strength, because that’s not our specialty. Do you dare to compete with us in the Alchemy Dao?"

A young man next to Zhao Yun said with a serious expression.

"Compete in the Alchemy Dao?"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the group. These were all young experts from the Tri-Element Guild, and they had all come together to denounce him.

’Does Sona really hold that much appeal to them?’

However, Ye Wushuang was unaware that Sona was the number one beauty of Flame City. Her noble and elegant aura had captivated countless young prodigies there.

This was just a group from the Tri-Element Guild. If word got out that Sona had kissed him, all the young prodigies of Flame City would probably swarm the Tri-Element Guild.

"Brat, do you dare to accept a fair challenge? Since you’re the one Sona likes, if you don’t even have the courage to accept a challenge, you’re not worthy of her at all."

Zhao Yun goaded Ye Wushuang.

"That’s right, you’re not worthy!"

The others chimed in, determined to have a contest and defeat Ye Wushuang.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang started to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yun stared at Ye Wushuang, his brow furrowing.

"I just want to ask, the Alchemy Dao is your specialty, but not mine. You’re using your strength to challenge my weakness. Is that fair?"

Ye Wushuang glanced around at the group and questioned them.

Instantly, the group was rendered speechless. They couldn’t match Ye Wushuang in strength, but they were exceptionally confident in their Alchemy Dao. But what if Ye Wushuang didn’t know alchemy at all?

"However, I accept your challenge. Come at me together. I might as well give you all a pointer or two while I’m at it."

Ye Wushuang added abruptly.

"Fuck, this brat is so arrogant! Who can beat the Tri-Element Guild in alchemy? He doesn’t know a thing, yet he dares to talk about giving us pointers? He clearly has no respect for the Alchemy Dao."

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, the crowd grew agitated. His seemingly arrogant remark undoubtedly infuriated them even more.

"We have to teach this brat a good lesson."

Several people stepped forward.

Zhao Yun’s gaze was cold as he said, "We’ll have our Dan Fighting right here. If you lose, you will leave Sona and get out of the Tri-Element Guild."

"Let’s begin."

Ye Wushuang couldn’t be bothered with nonsense. He knew that if he didn’t deal with these troublemakers today, his month at the Tri-Element Guild would be filled with endless problems.

So he might as well resolve it all today!

"Fine, I’ll compete with you."

Zhao Yun immediately took out a Half-Saint Pill Furnace, which landed on the ground with a RUMBLE!

"We’ll compete too." One by one, the disciples of the Tri-Element Guild took out their own Pill Furnaces, seemingly intent on showing Ye Wushuang the true Alchemy Dao.

As for the other disciples, they gathered to the side to watch.

Ye Wushuang’s strength was certainly impressive, but when it came to the Alchemy Dao, he was bound to lose in the Tri-Element Guild!

"Young Master Ye, you don’t have to pay them any mind."

Sona was a little angry. These people were being completely unreasonable.

"It’s fine. This won’t take long." Ye Wushuang gave a faint smile, his expression calm and unbothered. He let go of Sona’s hand, walked forward, and also took out a Pill Furnace.

This Pill Furnace was the one he had obtained from the Trading House in Wutang City, not the Holy Pill Furnace he had seized.

Now that he had the Nine Spirits Sacred Fruit, he could refine the Nine Spirit Heavenly Essence Pill. To avoid messing it up, he needed to practice by refining something else first to get the hang of it.

"We have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. We’ll see who can refine an elixir of better quality and grade."

Zhao Yun grunted at Ye Wushuang, then turned back to Sona with a confident and smug smile. However, her response was a soft hmph, which made Zhao Yun’s face instantly flush red.

’What’s so good about this brat that she likes him so much!’

Zhao Yun turned away, furious.

"Begin!"

With a loud shout, he unleashed his Exotic Fire, channeling it into the Pill Furnace to start the flame, then skillfully began placing medicinal ingredients inside one by one.

The others did the same, each displaying the skills they had learned.

"Guild Master, are you really going to let them continue this farce?"

In the distance, a group of old men were also watching with frowning brows. They didn’t have a restriction against Dan Fighting, but a Dan Fighting match born out of jealousy left them somewhat displeased.

"Just watch. Didn’t that brat say he was going to give them a pointer or two? How can that be considered a farce?"

Dorne said with a smile.

"Guild Master, that brat is too arrogant. You can’t possibly believe him," said a flame-haired old man next to Dorne, frowning.

"Whether he is or not, we’ll see. Just watch for now." Dorne repeated his earlier sentiment.

The competition continued. Everyone was busy, except for Ye Wushuang, who stood alone, watching the group of people performing alchemy in front of him.

"This brat probably doesn’t even know how to do alchemy. He’s been standing there for ages and hasn’t moved."

The spectating disciples never took their eyes off Ye Wushuang, scoffing at his calm and composed demeanor.

Ye Wushuang remained unmoved, still just watching.

WHOOSH!

To his right, a young man was continuously forming sealing techniques and striking them into his Pill Furnace. This was the Solidifying Pill step, but he was now drenched in sweat.

Previously, he had only ever refined Nine-Grade Treasure Pills. Today, he was attempting to create a Pseudo-Saint Pill.

However, it seemed to be a great struggle for him.

Just then, a faint voice spoke up: "Your sealing technique is incorrect. It will easily cause the furnace to explode. Your thumb should only press two-thirds of the way up your middle finger..."

The voice pointed out several more mistakes in succession, causing the young man’s hands to pause. He looked up and saw that it was Ye Wushuang who had spoken.

"He doesn’t even know how to do it himself, and yet he’s trying to teach others. How ridiculous."

Many of the disciples currently engaged in alchemy sneered.

That young man didn’t buy it either and continued solidifying his pill. But not long after, with a loud RUMBLE, the Pill Furnace in front of him began to shake and then exploded in an instant.

The young man was sent flying, looking utterly wretched. He coughed a few times, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

The furnace exploded!

He stared blankly, dejected and disheartened. In the end, he had failed to refine the Pseudo-Saint Pill.

But then, a thought struck him. He looked up at Ye Wushuang. ’Ye Wushuang predicted this. How did he do that?’

The young man watched in confusion. At that moment, Ye Wushuang finally moved. He proceeded step-by-step, with incredible ease, reaching the Solidifying Pill stage with the grace of flowing water.

In less than a moment, a Pseudo-Saint Pill was successfully refined.

The speed and effortlessness made the young man’s eyes go wide. He had never seen anything like it!

It wasn’t just him; the onlookers were all dumbfounded as well.

RUMBLE!

随即,叶无双退火了,看了一眼那个青年.

The young man gritted his teeth, stood up, and refused to give up. He started his alchemy again, but when he reached the Solidifying Pill step, he hesitated for a moment before choosing to follow the instructions Ye Wushuang had given earlier.

BUZZ!

Not long after, the Pill Furnace trembled, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"It’s a success! It’s really a success! This is incredible!"

In that instant, the young man cried out wildly. He turned to look at Ye Wushuang and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Youn—... Young Master Ye! I actually refined a Pseudo-Saint Pill! This will save me at least three years of effort!"

"What! A Pseudo-Saint Pill!"

Hearing the young man’s words, the others were shocked.

They knew this young man. His aptitude wasn’t the best, yet with just a little guidance, his Alchemy Dao had advanced to the next level. It was unbelievable!

Many of them now looked at Ye Wushuang with fiery gazes. One of the young men hesitated for a moment, then turned and asked, "Young Master Ye, could you take a look for me?"

Ye Wushuang turned his head and pointed out the young man’s mistakes. The attainment of these people in the Alchemy Dao was actually already quite high; they were only being held back by a few minor errors in the details.

After receiving guidance, that young man also successfully refined a Pseudo-Saint Pill, leaving him incredibly excited.

"Young Master Ye, help me take a look!"

"Young Master Ye, could you give me some pointers?"

One after another, the disciples scrambled to ask for his guidance. "Brat" had turned into "Young Master Ye."

Ye Wushuang didn’t say much, simply correcting them one by one.

For a time, everyone was deep in thought as they attempted their alchemy. As for the matter of the Dan Fighting, it had long since been thrown to the back of their minds.
