C191 Ao Hongxiu
C191 Ao Hongxiu
Looking at the guard's expression, Ye Bufan didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore. “ Let's go back!" Seeing the guards retreating like they had been pardoned, Ye Bufan muttered to himself, "It seems like the Stellar Sect is lacking a Law Enforcing Elder. This movement must be put on the agenda!"
Looking at Ye Bufan's little face, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall and Ao Wenfeng felt depressed. How could the wise Sect Master let this rascal become the Law Enforcement Elder? What would the Stellar Sect look like in the future?
"Why are you looking for me?" The Sect Master sounded a little unhappy that his time with his granddaughter was interrupted!
"Reporting to Sect Master, didn't you just say that I can pick any of the herbs outside as I wish? I only need to speak to the Hundred Herb Hall!" Ye Bufan said as he looked at Lord of Hundred Herb Hall who was about to bow.
The displeasure in the Cult Master's heart earlier was tickled by Ye Bufan's attitude. He said, "There is indeed such a thing. What is it?" After saying that, he began to recall. How many years had it been since someone dared to speak to him like this? Ever since Ao Changkong left, no one dared to do this anymore, right? He never would have thought that he would actually find such a person.
"How is it? I told you that the sect master said it before!" Ye Bufan asked Lord of Hundred Herb Hall, "Then why don't you give it to me obediently?"
Lord of Hundred Herb Hall ignored Ye Bufan, bowed to the sect master and said, "Sect master, do you know what kind of medicinal herb he wants? Dragon Star Grass, Phoenix Saliva Branch, Nine Leaf Qiong Fruit!"
After hearing Lord of Hundred Herb Hall's words, the Sect Leader couldn't be happier. Initially, Ye Bufan said that the Sect Leader thought that he only wanted some ordinary medicinal herbs. Although those herbs were considered top grade in the outside world, they were nothing in the Stellar Sect's Chief Sect. However, these three herbs were extremely difficult to grow. Furthermore, they were used by his granddaughter to concoct the pill. This little fellow's appetite seemed to be a little too big.
"If you want these three herbs, do you know their effects?" The Sect Leader looked at Ye Bufan and asked.
After seeing the Cult Master become uncertain, Ye Bufan began to hesitate in his heart. He was also very clear about the preciousness of these three herbs. He didn't mention the name of the herbs just now because he wanted to deceive them. Seeing that it was not possible, he could only recite the effects one by one. Then, he said, "The sect master won't go back on his word, right?"
"Impudent!" Before Sect Master could say anything, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall immediately glared at Ye Bufan angrily. It seemed like Ye Bufan was going to take him down if he continued to speak arrogantly.
"Wen Feng, don't be impatient!" The sect master raised his hand and said, "What grade of Alchemist are you?" Seeing that Ye Bufan could speak out the medicinal properties of three medicinal herbs so quickly, the sect master immediately asked.
Grade? According to what Weih Xuankong said, he should be a middle-grade Alchemist Grandmaster or above, right? However, he had never taken the certification test before. Thinking about it, even if you could build an airplane in his previous life, as long as he did not have a diploma, he would still be illiterate. Ye Bufan only mentioned, "No quality!"
Lord of Hundred Herb Hall immediately said proudly, "A Alchemist without even a grade still needs these medicinal herbs. Isn't it a waste of natural resources?"
"Then what grade are you?" Ye Bufan asked back.
With this question, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall became even more pleased with himself, "High Grade Alchemist Grandmaster!"
No wonder this fellow was so awesome. As an Alchemist Refiner, Ye Bufan clearly knew that the status of an Alchemist Refiner was extremely respected in any world.
"Sect Master, but you said it first..." Ye Bufan paused at this point. Although he knew that the chances of this happening was not high, he still had to fight for it.
The Sect Master seemed to be in a dilemma, "Elder Ye, although I have promised you before, these three herbs are necessary for my granddaughter to concoct pills. Can you choose something else?"
"The soul of the Sect Leader's granddaughter has been injured?" Ye Bufan immediately asked. Although these three medicinal herbs could only increase one's spiritual energy, when combined together, it could heal the damage to the soul. This was also the reason why Ye Bufan wanted all three of them. After all, there was no harm in being prepared.
This time, it was the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall's turn to be shocked. These three herbs could heal the injuries to the soul, and it was also one of the side recipes that Lord of Hundred Herb Hall found after flipping through the ancient books. Moreover, this pill was extremely difficult to refine. As the success rate of the pill was frighteningly low, that was why it had long been lost in the annals of history. There were very few people in this world who knew about it, but Ye Bufan was actually able to reveal it with a single sentence.
Ye Bufan felt as if his body was suddenly imprisoned, completely out of control. His vision went black, and he appeared once again in the sect master's granddaughter's room. Lord of Hundred Herb Hall was also by his side.
"This is my granddaughter!" The Sect Master's tone became somewhat weak, and he looked at the young girl on the bed with a loving gaze.
Lord of Hundred Herb Hall saw that the Cult Master had brought Ye Bufan here, and he knew what he was trying to do. Although he didn't believe that Ye Bufan had the ability to cure her, however, based on his many years of understanding of the Cult Master, he knew that there was no way to stop him. He said, "The one lying on the bed is Ao Hongxiu. Forty years ago, her soul was injured due to an accident during cultivation. She has been lying there all this time. If it wasn't for the sect master digesting his own cultivation to extend her life, even so, with my observation, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for her to hold on for another two years. Those three medicines are her only hope of survival!"
Pausing for a moment, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall said again, "It's a pity that this subordinate is incompetent. The three times of Spirit Cultivating Soul Return Pill's refinement ended in failure. It's to the extent that the remaining medicinal ingredients are only sufficient to refine two times. That's why..."
" Wen Feng, this matter cannot be blamed on you. I know that you have already done your best. Everything is heaven's will! "The sect master said.
"Actually, she also has some connections with you!" Lord of Hundred Herb Hall said to Ye Bufan.
"Relationships?" Ye Bufan did not understand. He had been in this world for less than ten years, right? But this girl had been unconscious for forty years. Could it be that he was also from another place?
"It's Long Sky's daughter!" The sect master said!
"Ah..." Ye Bufan was stunned for a moment, "Then Senior Ao is you..."
The Sect Leader did not answer Ye Bufan's question, instead, he said, "From your words just now, I can tell that you have some attainments in the field of alchemy, so I hope that you can..."
Since he knew that the girl on the bed was Ao Changkong's daughter, Ye Bufan had no reason to decline, "Let me try!"
Walking to the front of the bed, Ye Bufan grabbed the girl's wrist and a gentle spiritual force slowly entered her body. He found that the girl's body was in an extremely good condition, even much healthier than ordinary people!
He stood up. "Her soul was seriously injured and could last for forty years without dissipating. I'm afraid that other than the Sect Leader's cultivation, it has a lot to do with this bed!"
The Sect Leader's eyes flashed, "However, this bed is made of ten thousand year old warm jade wood and has a nourishing effect on the soul. It's just that Elder Ye should already be clear about her current situation!"
Ye Bufan's brows were tightly knitted together. The current strength of the young girl's Spirit Stage was no better than when he failed his tribulation. It was just that she was not as lucky as him to have the protection of the black bead. According to Ye Bufan's calculations, this girl's ___ cultivation base was much weaker compared to when he failed his tribulation. Her current condition could not even last two years, even if she was on this bed. With the Sect Master's cultivation base expended, she could only last for a year at most.
"Elder Ye, can you do something about it? If you can cure Hongxiu, you can take all the herbs from the Hundred Herb Hall in the future!" At first, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall only thought that Ye Bufan was lucky enough to tell him the effects of the three herbs, but now Lord of Hundred Herb Hall believed that Ye Bufan was truly talented. He was sure that if it was his first time seeing such a situation, he would not be able to make such an accurate judgment like Ye Bufan.
Looking at Hongxiu's pale face, Ye Bufan had a feeling that they shared the same fate. Once upon a time, he was the same. However, Ye Bufan did not have absolute confidence in saving her!
Feeling the hopeful eyes of the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall, Ye Bufan said, "I can try, but the success rate will not exceed 60%!"
This was the first time Ye Bufan felt ashamed because of his pill refinement. The success rate of less than 60% was a great irony to him, who was once a Pill Alchemy Saint. If Hongxiu was not Ao Changkong's daughter, if he was not in the same boat as her, Ye Bufan would never attack her.
When they heard the word sixty percent, the Sect Leader and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall felt as if they had seen success. One should know that when Lord of Hundred Herb Hall was concocting pills, he said, "It depends on luck!"
How could such a difference not make the two of them happy?
Looking at the two's excited expressions, Ye Bufan said, "Let's make this clear first. If you fail, you can't blame me. I can only do my best. After my current cultivation, refining this level of pill is very difficult!"
This sentence instantly dealt a huge blow to Lord of Hundred Herb Hall. He dared to say that only sixty percent of it was because of his low cultivation base. If he had the same Void Stage cultivation base as him, wouldn't that mean...
"Elder Ye, don't worry. Regardless of whether it's successful or not, I'll accept your kindness! This sentence wasn't spoken by the Sect Master of Stellar Sect. He only represented the grandfather of a young girl! " The Sect Master said seriously.
Ye Bufan was shocked when he heard this. The meaning of the master's words was very clear. He had promised to owe him a favor, even if it would be inconvenient for him to use the Stellar Sect's power to return the favor. He would also do it himself! What did this mean? Although Ye Bufan didn't know the exact cultivation base of the Sect Master, he believed that he could become the Sect Master of Stellar Sect. It was impossible for him to only have a Void Discerning cultivation base!
After that, Ye Bufan told Lord of Hundred Herb Hall a long list of herbs. Luckily, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall was also a high-ranked alchemist, so it wasn't too difficult for him to remember them. However, when he heard Ye Bufan mention the dozens of herbs, he frowned and seemed to be puzzled. Could it be that he still needed to use these low rank herbs?
However, at this moment, he had already been subdued by Ye Bufan's display of knowledge and experience. He did not raise any objections. After Ye Bufan finished reporting, he began to make preparations.
Looking at the departing Lord of Hundred Herb Hall, the Sect Leader said, "I'll bring you to your pill refining room to take a look first!"
Ye Bufan nodded. It was necessary to familiarize himself with the pill cauldron. Refining this kind of high difficulty pill, Ye Bufan did not dare to be careless to the point of condensing the flame into a cauldron.
