"Senior Brother Ye, this is Junior Sister Zhang Lin, the daughter of the Mighty Marquis of Jin Nation."
"This is Jiang Peng, the heir of the Jiang Family of Jin Nation."
In the Jin Nation Academy, Ye Ping walked side by side with the crowd while Li Yue introduced the two of them to Ye Ping.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ye."
As Li Yue introduced them, the two of them hurriedly bowed to Ye Ping.
In the eyes of the newly matriculated disciples, Ye Ping was not just a simple Senior Brother of the fifth generation. He was simply a god-like existence.
"Greetings, both of you."
Ye Ping returned the greeting.
However, in the next moment, Li Yue continued to speak.
"Senior Brother, do you know that there's a peerless genius in Nan Nation?"
Li Yue asked Ye Ping.
"A peerless genius of Nan Nation?"
Ye Ping's eyes were filled with curiosity. He really didn't know about that.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ye, you may not know, but there's a piece of news from Nan Nation. There's a peerless genius in the Nan Nation Academy who has cultivated to the sixth level of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique at the age of eighteen."
Li Yue spoke and told him about this matter.
"Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique? He reached the sixth level at the age of eighteen? "
In the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion, Ye Ping read millions of scriptures and knew what the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique was. He had even studied it before.
After all, the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique was extremely special as it was the best body tempering technique in the Ten Nations. The further one progressed, the greater the power.
Ye Ping still remembered that there were a total of thirteen levels of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique. When one cultivated to the tenth level, they would have extremely terrifying power. The power of one punch would be able to shatter mountains and split the void with one palm.
The sixth level of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique was the dividing line. Every level after that was a world of difference.
Hence, when he heard the news, Ye Ping was really a little surprised.
Ye Ping was no longer as clueless as he used to be. On the contrary, he knew a lot of things.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ye, these days, geniuses are so common. This is just Nan Nation. The top three of the Ten Nations — Chen Nation, Li Nation, and Jing Nation — are definitely full of talents. They just don't mention it."
"Jin Nation is the only one that's worse."
Li Yue nodded and answered Ye Ping while complaining about the Jin Nation.
However, Jiang Peng's voice soon sounded.
"Senior Sister Li, in fact, there are geniuses in Jin Nation too. I've heard that during the most glorious period of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a fateful battle that suppressed many sects."
"The powerhouses of those sects are wandering in the Ten Nations, and many of them have come to Jin Nation. However, they have changed their names and we don't know where they are."
Jiang Peng opened his mouth and revealed a secret.
"A battle that destroys luck?"
In an instant, everyone's curiosity was piqued, especially Ye Ping, because he heard the words' incognito '.
Feeling the curiosity of the crowd, Jiang Peng did not keep them in suspense.
"The so-called Battle of Fate should have happened a few hundred years ago. If we want to explain the whole thing clearly, we have to start from two thousand years ago. The predecessor of the Great Xia Dynasty was the Great Ying Dynasty."
"However, the Great Ying Dynasty disobeyed the will of the heavens and did not respect the will of the people. The last ruler of the dynasty was a tyrant, causing the people to be in dire straits. In the end, it was replaced by the Great Xia Dynasty."
"The Great Xia Dynasty obeyed the will of the heavens and the will of the people. They even produced nine wise rulers in a row, causing the Great Xia Dynasty to be extremely prosperous until a few decades ago, when a peerless prophet divined that the tenth ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty would be the king of the world."
"He would unify the five dynasties, quell all the chaos in the world, and become the first emperor since ancient times."
"Hence, rumor has it that the ninth emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did it for the tenth ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Hence, he launched a fateful battle and suppressed all the powerful immortal sects of the Great Xia Dynasty. He even killed all of them in order to plunder the luck of the sects and condense the destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty with a supreme array formation."
"He infused the terrifying luck into the body of Empress Xia at that time, who was already pregnant with a son."
"Indeed, on the day of Empress Xia's birth, there were endless strange phenomena in the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. There were golden lotuses on the ground, flowers falling from the sky, and even 99 golden dragons appearing in the sky. It was a supreme auspicious sign."
Jiang Peng's revelation of the secret made everyone mesmerized.
"What happened after that? Why hasn't the Great Xia Dynasty unified the world? Besides, I don't think I've ever heard of the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Aren't there only nine princes in the Great Xia Dynasty? "
The first to speak was Mo Xuan. She was very interested in such secrets and naturally couldn't help but continue to ask. Everyone was also very curious.
At that moment, Jiang Peng paused for a moment before continuing.
"What happened after that was rather bizarre."
"The birth of the Tenth Prince was an auspicious sign, which was originally a good thing for the Great Xia Dynasty. However, to everyone's surprise, in just one day, the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty mysteriously disappeared. However, rumor has it that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was assassinated and his disappearance was only publicized to the public."
"It is also because of this that the Great Xia Dynasty's luck is constantly declining. Year after year, there are calamities, and everything is not going well. When a person is unlucky, even water would be stuck between their teeth. When a country is unlucky, the calamities it brings will affect countless people."
"Hence, everyone feels that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty has been murdered. If he's still alive, the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't have declined so much, but that's just a rumor."
"The fateful battle is also because of this matter, causing countless powerhouses to live in seclusion in the mountains. Some are secretly taking revenge, while some have completely cut off their inheritance."
"This matter is indeed the fault of the Great Xia Dynasty, but that's not the worst thing. What's worse is …"
When Jiang Peng said this, Li Yue's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Jiang Peng.
"Jiang Peng, what you said is just a rumor. I've asked my father, the emperor, and in fact, there is no such thing at all. It's just a rumor spread by someone to tarnish the reputation of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Also, there are some things that can't be said carelessly. Rumors are private matters. Given our identities, we have to be careful with our words. Otherwise …"
Li Yue spoke up in time and interrupted Jiang Peng.
Ye Ping and the other two couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
They were indeed full of curiosity, but after hearing this, they also understood that Li Yue didn't treat them as outsiders, but rather, they had to be wary of others.
If they were to accidentally spread the rumor, ordinary people wouldn't care about it. However, they were different. They were the heir of the Jiang Family of Jin Nation, the princess of Jin Nation, and the daughter of the Mighty Marquis of Jin Nation.
Every word and action of theirs represented the upper echelons of Jin Nation. If they were to say something wrong, their entire family would be in trouble. Such things were common in history books.
Hence, although everyone was curious, they could understand each other.
"Yes, yes, yes, these are all rumors. I spoke too quickly, just take it that I'm making up a story."
Jiang Peng hurriedly spoke, but he also realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly shut his mouth.
The crowd didn't say anything either, thinking that it was best not to mention it.
"Let's continue talking about the genius of Nan Nation."
Zhang Lin spoke up and brought the topic back to the genius of Nan Nation.
However, although they stopped talking about the topic, after hearing the story, Ye Ping somehow felt that the Qingyun Dao Sect was a supreme sect.
All the signs pointed to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Maybe the sect has a terrible history, but they don't want to tell me for the time being. It seems that I have to stay away from the people of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future."
"If the Qingyun Dao Sect really has a feud with the Great Xia Dynasty, I'm afraid it'll be troublesome if I get too involved."
Ye Ping secretly thought to himself.
He warned himself that if he met the nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future, he would have to stay away from them, lest he really got involved with them. If he had to choose between the sect and his friends, that would be troublesome.
Ye Ping didn't care about the origin of the Qingyun Dao Sect, nor did he have a stand. The Qingyun Dao Sect had done him a favor, and he would remember that kindness.
"That genius of Nan Nation plans to go to Chen Nation in a few days and challenge everyone from the top to the bottom. He wants to defeat all his enemies in the Ten Nations. I wonder if there is a similar genius in Chen Nation. It's best if they both suffer. That way, Jin Nation will be able to rise."
Jiang Peng continued to talk about the genius of Nan Nation.
"From the top to the bottom? Why not from the bottom to the top?"
Mo Xuan asked, looking a little curious. Since it was a challenge, theoretically speaking, he should challenge everyone from the weakest to the strongest. What did it mean to go from the top to the bottom?
"Don't you understand? The genius of Nan Nation challenges according to the route. I've calculated the time and the last battle is in Wei Nation. This time, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament will be held near Wei Nation. If he can really defeat everyone, he can directly participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. It'll be convenient."
Jiang Peng answered. All of a sudden, everyone understood.
"You managed to cultivate to the sixth level of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique at the age of 18. Senior Brother Ye, how old are you this year?"
Mo Xuan exclaimed in amazement, and then couldn't help but ask Ye Ping about his age out of curiosity.
"22."
Ye Ping said his age very straightforwardly.
After hearing that, everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Although he was younger than 18 years old, the fact that he could condense the Blood and Qi Furnace at 22 years old was enough to shock the Ten Nations.
Unfortunately, the world would only see the brightest star. Now that there was an 18-year-old genius of Nan Nation, Ye Ping's reputation was naturally suppressed.
"Senior Brother Ye, what cultivation technique are you practicing? I feel that your physical body is very terrifying too."
"Yeah, Senior Brother Ye, what cultivation technique are you practicing? I feel that it's not weaker than the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique. "
At the mention of this, everyone couldn't help but look a little curious as they asked Ye Ping what cultivation technique he was practicing.
"It's a secret technique of the sect. I can't tell you, but it's stronger than the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique."
Ye Ping did not mention the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique, but he had his own pride because the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique was definitely more than a hundred times stronger than the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique.
"Stronger than the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique?"
"Senior Brother Ye, can you beat that genius of Nan Nation?"
"If that genius of Nan Nation is defeated by Senior Brother Ye, Jin Nation will be in for a good show this time."
The few of them were overjoyed and praised Ye Ping.
"I've never seen him before, and I don't know his strength either. Let's wait for him to come."
Ye Ping wasn't sure if he could beat him or not. After all, he had never seen the genius of Nan Nation before. If he said that he could beat him, it would seem a little arrogant. However, if he said that he couldn't, it would seem like he was boosting his opponent's morale.
At this moment, the crowd also arrived at the Pill Pavilion.
The Pill Pavilion of the Jin Nation Academy was extremely luxurious. After crossing the threshold, they were greeted with the sight of numerous ancient bronze beast pill furnaces, each of which was a supreme-grade spirit artifact. The material of the pill furnaces was also made of Yi Wood Bronze.
That type of bronze could effectively enhance the quality of pills and was extremely resistant to high temperatures. Besides, it contained 36 array formations that allowed the refinement of pills to take place without the need for anyone to control them.
Outside the Pill Pavilion.
There were a total of 108 pill furnaces, which were extremely expensive. A first-grade sect might only have one such pill furnace, and only the Jin Nation Academy could afford to have 108 pill furnaces.
At this moment, all the new disciples had arrived. They had been waiting there for a long time. As new disciples, they naturally had to come early to avoid leaving a bad impression in front of the elders.
Besides, there were also some third and fourth generation Senior Brothers who were not far away who were also there to learn.
However, as Ye Ping appeared, everyone couldn't help but look at him.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ye."
Everyone spoke up and bowed to Ye Ping without the slightest bit of disrespect.
Even the group of third and fourth generation disciples took the initiative to address Ye Ping as Senior Brother Ye after seeing him. They didn't dare to address him as Junior Brother.
Since Elder Li Jiang had to address him as a peer, how could they dare to be arrogant?
However, before Ye Ping could return the greeting, a figure walked out of the Pill Pavilion.
It was an old man.
He seemed to be much older than Li Jiang.
He was the best alchemist in the Jin Nation Academy and also the best alchemist in Jin Nation.
He was Elder Xu Chang.
"Greetings, Elder Xu."
When Xu Chang appeared, everyone couldn't help but bow deeply to Elder Xu.
Outside the door of the Pill Pavilion.
Xu Chang slowly walked out, seemingly a little distracted. He was originally in a good mood today, but because of what the Academy Master said previously, his heart sank.
Initially, he also planned to go out to look for the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, but because he had to teach, he didn't want to cause any panic or suspicion. In the end, the Academy Master asked him to stay in the academy and teach.
To be honest, if it weren't for Ye Ping, Xu Chang would have left long ago.
He retracted his thoughts.
Xu Chang glanced at the crowd, but his gaze soon fell on Ye Ping.
Not far away, Ye Ping was dressed in a white robe and looked extremely elegant, just like a white-robed immortal.
"This disciple of mine is so handsome."
Xu Chang's eyes were full of admiration and admiration. At this moment, his bad mood turned into smoke.
Thinking of this, Xu Chang slowly walked down from the Pill Pavilion. He warned himself in his heart that he had to be impressive and not lose his cool in front of Ye Ping.
"You may rise."
Xu Chang said. He walked in front of the crowd with a large bronze tripod behind him.
Soon, everyone got up and looked at Xu Chang.
After everyone got up, Xu Chang looked away and raised his hand. In an instant, the lid of the bronze tripod floated up.
Immediately afterwards, various medicinal herbs rose and fell into the tripod.
A total of 36 medicinal herbs fell into the tripod, and a stream of spiritual spring water entered the tripod from Elder Xu Chang's storage ring.
After the medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water were all in the tripod, Elder Xu Chang cast several hand seals.
In order to make it seem impressive, Elder Xu Chang cast a total of 72 hand seals, each of which was an alchemy hand seal.
He gave off a strong vibe.
However, soon, with the lid of the bronze tripod, he began to refine pills.
Elder Xu Chang did not start with a long speech and instead began to refine pills to give all the disciples a chance.
In particular, he wanted Ye Ping to see it clearly so that he could show off his abilities.
Flames burned under the tripod and white mist filled the air while the fragrance of pills filled the entire Pill Pavilion.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the pills, the disciples couldn't help but look relaxed and happy.
After seeing the reaction of the disciples, Elder Xu Chang was in a better mood. When he looked at Ye Ping …
Ye Ping remained calm.
All of a sudden, Elder Xu Chang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
'I've almost taken out my trump card, can't you show me some expression?'
However, Elder Xu Chang soon couldn't help but understand.
As a genius, Ye Ping was naturally knowledgeable. Alchemy hand seals were not shocking, but the results were.
Thinking of this, Elder Xu Chang did not waste any more time and simply controlled the flames to refine pills seriously.
Just like that, a full four hours later, the fragrance of the pills became stronger and Elder Xu Chang also sensed that the pills had been formed!
In the next moment, Elder Xu Chang waved his hand again and immediately, the lid of the pill tripod flew up. Then, pearl-like pills flew out of the pill tripod.
Each pill was the size of a longan and was crystal clear, emitting a strong pill fragrance.
There were twelve pills in a row, just like twelve priceless pearls.
"This is a superior-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!"
"Ah, I was wondering why the fragrance was so strong, I didn't expect it to be a superior-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
"No wonder the fragrance is so strong, Elder Xu Chang really deserves to be the best alchemist in Jin Nation. He refined a superior-grade Foundation Establishment Pill casually!"
"Terrifying, terrifying, really terrifying."
When the pills appeared, someone immediately recognized what they were and exclaimed in shock.
"A superior-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. Each pill is extremely valuable and can increase the success rate of a Qi Refinement cultivator breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm by 40%."
"Normal Qi Refinement cultivators only have a 40% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm. If their Qi and blood are vigorous and they have a strong physique, the chances are at most 50%. However, once they fail, it won't be as simple as starting from scratch. A pill like this is worth tens of thousands of superior-grade Spirit Stones."
"That's not all. Middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are priced at 30,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. A superior-grade Foundation Establishment Pill can be sold for at least 60,000 to 70,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. Twelve pills are worth almost a million inferior-grade Spirit Stones."
The disciples discussed with astonishment in their eyes.
However, at this moment, Xu Chang's voice suddenly sounded.
"The art of alchemy is to turn waste into treasure. Ordinary medicinal herbs can be turned into priceless pills with a little refinement."
"Pills can save a lot of cultivation time, but you can't rely too much on pills."
Elder Xu Chang said calmly.
He continued immediately afterwards.
"However, you have to know that this is also the law of alchemy."
Xu Chang's expression became extremely solemn as he looked at the crowd.
"All pills are poisonous and there are no non-poisonous pills in this world. If someone says that there are non-poisonous pills in this world, he must be an alchemist who lies and deceives others. Do you guys know that?"
Elder Xu Chang used such a method to teach his disciples.
First, he used alchemy to shock his disciples. Then, he mentioned the law of alchemy to establish his authority.
'Hah, I'm telling the truth.' Even Xu Chang himself couldn't help but want to praise himself.
Soon, Elder Xu Chang couldn't help but look at Ye Ping a little in a bid to see his reaction.
'Is he shocked?
Is he shocked?
Or is he excited? '
However, when Elder Xu Chang looked at Ye Ping, he realized that Ye Ping was frowning again.
'Huh?
Frown? '
Elder Xu Chang couldn't help but be stunned again.
However, before he could continue speaking, Ye Ping suddenly spoke up.
"Elder, you're wrong."
A voice sounded.
All the disciples were shocked.
Even Xu Chang was dumbfounded.
