Chapter 172: Chapter 172: You're Doomed
"Body Transformation Grass!! Sect Leader, this is the main ingredient for refining the high- grade tier 7 Body Transformation Pill!" Ge Ye, who was standing nearby, jolted to his feet upon hearing this. He couldn't help but feel a surge of agitation as his old eyes widened. "What? Body Transformation Grass?!!" Many alchemists present were moved as soon as Yun Yun spoke. The other alchemists in the hall also abruptly stood up, their eyes wide open. One must know that the most formidable alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire was Gu He, but even he was only a 6th-tier alchemist, and that was thanks to the Misty Cloud Sect's resources helping him reach that tier. The highest-ranked native alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire was Chairman Fa Ma, but he was only at the peak of tier 5.
Tier 6 pills were already akin to myths, let alone high-grade tier 7 pills, which had never appeared in the Jia Ma Empire before.
Even Gu He had spent half a year traveling to the large Alchemist Association in the Central Plains and paid a huge price to exchange for a single Body Transformation Pill.
No matter how one looked at it, this seemed utterly disproportionate!
"Body Transformation Grass is rather special. It can't be entirely considered the main ingredient for a high-grade tier 7 pill. After all, the peak tier 6 Demon Transformation Pill also requires Body Transformation Grass as its main ingredient. Whether it becomes a Demon Transformation Pill or a Body Transformation Pill depends entirely on the alchemist's skill," Fa Ma stroked his beard and said slowly.
The Body Transformation Grass was very special. It was the main ingredient for two types of legendary pills. However, whether it was the peak tier 6 Demon Transformation Pill or the high-grade tier 7 Body Transformation Pill, both helped magical beasts achieve transformation. The only difference was that the Demon Transformation Pill could only help a magical beast partially transform, equivalent to opening a door. The rest of the process still required the magical beast to comprehend and cultivate on its own.
A magical beast must understand transformation in order to reach Rank 8. However, the high-grade tier 7 Body Transformation Pill was incredibly precious. Ordinary Rank 7 magical beasts might not acquire one in their lifetime, and it was not easy even for Rank 8 magical beasts.
Therefore, someone developed the Demon Transformation Pill, lowering the alchemy threshold, but it could only achieve partial transformation.
Therefore, the Body Transformation Grass was in a rather awkward position. In the hands of a powerful alchemist, it was the extremely precious main ingredient for a high-grade tier 7 pill. But in the hands of an average alchemist, it was only the main ingredient for a peak tier 6 pill. The gap between the two was immense.
However, no matter what, the value of the Body Transformation Grass definitely exceeded that of the tier 5 Four Lines White Spirit Pill.
Yun Yun's grand gesture thoroughly shocked everyone. Even Fa Ma and Yao Ye could only shake their heads in resignation.
"The Misty Cloud Sect's foundation remains so deep. Even though they haven't produced a Dou Ancestor in many years and have fallen to a third-rate power on the continent, their resources are still abundant," Jia Xing Tian shook his head worriedly. He just couldn't understand. In the past, the Misty Cloud Sect had been at its peak under Yun Po Tian's leadership; a first-rate power renowned throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
Yet they chose to establish their sect in this remote North-Western Region, causing the Jia Ma Empire to have no peace regardless of which dynasty ruled.
"Master, the Body Transformation Grass is too precious. Yanran cannot accept such a valuable item." Nalan Yanran looked at her beautiful Master with shocked eyes and hurriedly shook her head to refuse.
Yun Yun gave a gentle smile and patted her shoulder dotingly. "I haven't been able to accompany you in your cultivation recently; that's my negligence as your Master. Since you've decided to enter the Gate of Life and Death ahead of time, this Four Lines White Spirit Pill can indeed help you quickly increase your strength. This way, your Master can be more at ease when you enter."
"Moreover, Elder Gu He's matter has concluded, and he no longer needs this Body Transformation Grass. Using it on you is appropriate."
It turned out that when Gu He learned that Queen Medusa possessed a Heavenly Flame, he had thought about gathering the ingredients for the Body Transformation Pill and finding someone to help refine it. In the end, because there was no news about the crucial Body Transformation Grass, he spent a huge price to directly exchange for a Body Transformation Pill to negotiate with Queen Medusa.
Recently, a disciple from the Misty Cloud Sect searching for the Body Transformation Grass made a discovery. Yun Yun then left the sect for a time and finally managed to find a stalk of Body Transformation Grass.
Yun Yun knew the Body Transformation Grass was worth many times more than the pill, but she currently didn't have suitable medicinal ingredients to bid with, so she took out the Body Transformation Grass.
Backstage, Hai Bodong was startled upon hearing about the Body Transformation Grass. This item could even be exchanged for a Mighty Huang Pill!
"You little brat have really struck it rich. Exchanging a tier 5 pill for Body Transformation Grass-only a fool wouldn't make this trade." Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but sigh at his good fortune.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan gently shook his head and said, "I don't plan to make the exchange."
"What??? Has your brain been fried? Or do you have a grudge against Yun Yun? Oh right, you're set to duel that girl Nalan Yanran, right? Are you afraid her strength will surpass yours?" Hai Bodong asked.
"No, since Yun Yun wants it, I plan to give it to her directly. I owe her quite a bit," Xiao Yan admitted. He indeed owed Yun Yun.
Back then in the cave, he had almost done something irreversible due to his beast transformation caused by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Yun Yun could have easily slapped him to death at that time, but in the end, she helped him resolve the crisis.
And then there was the incident with the Green Lotus Core Flame. Yun Yun letting him go was something even he hadn't anticipated.
If Gu He discovered that Yun Yun had intentionally allowed him to escape with the Heavenly Flame, it would likely cause Gu He to leave the Misty Cloud Sect, leading to an irreparable rift
within the sect.
Hai Bodong looked at the guilt-ridden Xiao Yan with a strange expression. After sizing him up, he said, "Kid, I've been around the block. When a man uses the word 'owe' in regards to a woman, then it's over; you're doomed."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Hai Bodong and said in an annoyed tone, "Old Hai, what nonsense are you spouting? I truly owe her a debt of gratitude."
A glint flashed through Hai Bodong's eyes as he said with a chuckle, "Heh, just a debt of gratitude? Did nothing else happen between you and Yun Yun?"
With Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but recall those ambiguous days in the cave, the soft sensation when he lifted her seal, and the glimpses of her body when he tore her
clothes during his beast transformation. Scene after scene flooded his mind.
Hai Bodong seemed to be reminiscing as well. He clicked his tongue, "Tsk tsk, you little brat is really something. Not only do you have an engagement with that girl from the Nalan Clan, but now you've gotten involved with her Master too."
"Others strive to maintain good relations with their elders, but you've taken it a step further and gotten 'involved' with them instead. Tsk tsk"
"But it's no wonder. Yun Yun is indeed a peerless beauty. For a young lad like you, mature women have a special allure. I heard that part of the reason Gu He was willing to join the Misty Cloud Sect back then was because of Yun Yun."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you little pervert. Don't tell me you've already planned it out, embracing one
with your left arm and holding the other with your right, enjoying them calling each other 'Master' and 'Disciple' to set the mood? No wonder people say you alchemists are experts at
refining those kinds of pills. Seems it's all true."
"You little deviant."
Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong with a horrified expression as the old man slandered his
innocence with his monologue.
"Old Hai, you're the real pervert here!"
