In the forbidden area of Xianyang City's imperial palace!
Yu Haoran looked at the white-haired old man, whose aura was faintly discernible, lying on the bed. He withdrew his fingers from the old man's wrist and could not help but frown.
"Junior Brother Yu, how's Great Ancestor?" Teng Yunjie asked nervously when he saw Yu Haoran frowning.
"Senior Brother Teng, did your Great Ancestor consume a pill that can heal his soul on his way to Xianyang City after he left his place of cultivation?" Yu Haoran looked away from the white-haired old man and asked the nervous Teng Yunjie with a displeased tone.
Teng Yunjie turned to look at the displeased Ye Junnan, then he nodded and replied.
"Junior Brother Yu, I was worried that Great Ancestor wouldn't be able to withstand the long journey, so I gave him a Rank Four, Grade Three Soul-calming Pill."
"Senior Brother Teng, when I asked you to bring Senior Teng to Xianyang City, didn't I specifically tell you not to give him any pill that can heal his soul?"
Yu Haoran complained after hearing Teng Yunjie's reply. He felt a headache coming on.
"Why don't you listen to me!"
Based on the examination just now and Thaling's speculation about the injuries to the Teng family's great ancestor's sea of consciousness and spiritual sense, he could roughly guess the severity of the great ancestor's injuries.
Therefore, when Ou Yangming's first clone planned to display his alchemy skills, he asked his clone to refine a Rank Three, Grade Nine Soul-recovering Pill to deal with the Teng family's great ancestor's sea of consciousness.
Nevertheless, he did not expect that …
Teng Yunjie's refusal to listen to Ou Yangming's advice caused trouble in his preparations. He had to refine another pill that could eliminate the Soul-calming Pill's medicinal efficacy to save the Teng family's great ancestor.
After hearing Yu Haoran's complaint, Teng Yunjie could not help but turn to look at Ye Junnan with a displeased look in his eyes.
After witnessing Yu Haoran's performance in alchemy, how could he not take Yu Haoran's advice to heart?
However, when the Old Ancestor was being transferred away from his place of cultivation, Sect Master Ye Junnan completely ignored his warning and forcefully fed him a Soul Calming Pill, saying that it would prevent the Old Ancestor's injuries from worsening.
Just now, Ye Junnan had accused him of being untrustworthy.
Now, Yu Haoran was blaming himself for not listening to his advice.
At this moment, while Teng Yunjie felt wronged, he also resented Ye Junnan.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Teng Yunjie's eyes, Ye Junnan, who had long suppressed his anger, questioned in a mocking tone.
"Yu Haoran, on what basis do you say that the deterioration of Ancestor Yuan's injuries is because of the Soul-calming Pill? Is it because you just broke through the realm of alchemy grandmaster?"
Although Yu Haoran had never come into contact with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect, Ye Junnan, in his previous life, as one of the overlords of the Seven Great Sects, he had heard many evaluations of Ye Junnan.
They said that he was a hateful person who was open-minded but short-sighted and missed countless good opportunities.
They said that he was a person whose heart was higher than the sky but whose life was thinner than paper and would always make others feel pity for him.
They said that he was a lamentable person who was ambitious but could not bear heavy responsibilities and was not suitable to be the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect.
Yu Haoran did not think much of such an irresponsible person, whether it was in his previous life or in this life.
Therefore, when he had just entered the door, he had chosen to ignore all of Ye Junnan's questioning.
However, now that Ye Junnan had dared to question his ability in alchemy, Yu Haoran could not tolerate it and could not continue to ignore it.
"That's right!"
Yu Haoran said arrogantly as he looked straight at Ye Junnan.
"Based on the fact that I, Yu Haoran, have just broken through to the realm of alchemy grandmaster, I am qualified to give the evaluation just now."
"Haha!"
Ye Junnan scoffed at Yu Haoran's arrogant reply. He sized up Yu Haoran with a disdainful gaze and did not hide the disdain in his eyes.
"Sect Master Ye, as one of the top seven sects in the Tianxuan Continent, the Heavenly Martial Sect must have alchemists at the realm of alchemy grandmaster!"
If Ye Junnan had refuted or humiliated him, Yu Haoran might have only retaliated slightly on account of Teng Yunjie and let him know the price of looking down on others.
However, Ye Junnan's disdainful mockery was an action that could easily infuriate him.
Therefore, Yu Haoran, who had regained his composure in an instant, decided to teach Ye Junnan a lesson that he would never forget.
"That's right!"
Ye Junnan frowned slightly and nodded in response to Yu Haoran's sudden anger. However, he still replied rather arrogantly.
"The Heavenly Martial Sect has three alchemy grandmasters that we nurtured ourselves. One of them has already reached the pinnacle of alchemy."
"Sect Master Ye, since the Heavenly Martial Sect has an alchemy grandmaster with such a profound cultivation, why did you ask Senior Brother Teng to ask me to refine the Nine Suns Soul Recovery Pill?" After hearing Ye Junnan's arrogant reply, the corners of Yu Haoran's mouth curled up slightly. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he asked in a slightly provocative tone.
"Who asked Teng Yunjie to ask you for help?"
Yu Haoran's expression, gaze, and tone instantly ignited the anger in Ye Junnan's heart. He immediately retorted with a flushed face.
"Considering that you are the prince consort of the Great Emperor Qin's Kingdom and have a certain relationship with the Heavenly Martial Sect, I wanted you to refine the Nine Suns Soul Recovery Pill to raise your alchemy cultivation."
"Oh!"
After hearing Ye Junnan's rebuttal, Yu Haoran immediately pretended to be surprised. Then, he put away his surprised expression and continued to mock Ye Junnan with a faintly discernible expression.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Ye. However, the Nine Suns Soul Recovery Pill's grade is too low. It can't raise my alchemy cultivation at all."
After that, he didn't give Ye Junnan a chance to speak at all. He looked as if he was about to leave.
"Since your sect has an alchemy grandmaster with a higher alchemy cultivation, I won't embarrass myself here. I'll take my leave first!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran was about to leave and wasn't willing to help his sect's patriarch, Teng Yunjie opened his mouth to apologize and persuade him to stay. However, he was stopped by Emperor Qin's gaze.
Originally, Emperor Qin didn't have a good impression of Ye Junnan. It was only because of the special relationship between the imperial family and the Heavenly Martial Sect that he treated Ye Junnan with respect.
However, Ye Junnan's attitude of looking down on Yu Haoran made Emperor Qin quite unhappy. He also wanted to borrow Yu Haoran's hand to teach Ye Junnan a lesson.
After receiving a reminder from Emperor Qin's gaze, Teng Yunjie finally chose to shut his mouth. Then, he looked at his sect's patriarch with worry in his eyes.
Seeing that Yu Haoran was about to leave, Ye Junnan's face instantly darkened.
