Chapter 3972: A Pyrrhic Victory

Jiangnan City.”Recently, there have been frequent cases of people losing things on this bus. We received reports and came here today specifically to catch the thief.“Since there are anti-theft squad...Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Take the thickest root of Yinli bamboo, then squeeze out the juice and drip it onto the leaves of Huoyingcao. What consequences will there be"

"This..."

The crowd, which had been bustling with noise moments before, fell silent. They couldn't understand why the man asked this question; it was far beyond most people's comprehension. Many hadn't even heard of Yin Li Zhu's name.

A flash of shock and panic crossed the middle-aged man's eyes, but he quickly masked it.

The Great Danemaster frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

As an eleventh-rank Immortal Alchemist, Yin Li Zhu knew this Celestial Spirit Grass well despite its rarity.

The Fire Release Grass is a fire attribute spiritual herb, while the Yin Attribute Bamboo is the opposite, an eleventh-order spiritual herb of the yin attribute.

The principle of yin and yang clashing is something everyone knows, but to put the sap from the Yin bamboo roots onto the leaves of the Huo Ying grass, this kind of thing she not only hadn't done, she hadn't even heard of it before, let alone what the result would be.

Fortunately, Ye Bufan didn't wait for her answer and continued, "Yinli bamboo is yin in nature, with its roots being the most important. Oddly enough, its level is one rank lower than that of the Fire Shadow Grass."

In this case, dripping the liquid onto the leaves of the fire-shadow grass creates a strange kind of balance between them.

Yin and yang clash, the Fire Shadow Grass enwraps this yin energy, but in a short time it cannot be eliminated, ultimately hidden beneath its leaves. Ordinary people can't see it at all.

And at this time, if it is used to refine the Fire Venerable Pill, the Dan fire refining the Fire Shadow Grass will suddenly reveal that hidden trace of Yin energy.

The consequences are self-evident, I presume even Grandmaster Dan has seen them. That is the clash of yin and yang, resulting in the explosion of the Dan furnace!

Ye Bufan's voice was calm, speaking neither hastily nor slowly. But when he finished speaking, the crowd that had just calmed down instantly erupted again.

"Is this really true This sounds so outlandish..."

"My God, so that's how it is, no wonder the Great Alchemist was in danger of a furnace explosion just now..."

"My god, so this guy was hiding his true intentions all along, trying to blackmail the Grand Alchemist for triple compensation..."

The great alchemist was shocked and deeply disheartened.

As an eleventh-order Immortal Alchemist, Ye Bufan immediately discerned the truth after revealing it, knowing that the other party's words were not a single lie.

The problem is, this man stood beside me and saw everything clearly, not missing a single detail, while I, as the one involved, was completely oblivious.

She had always been extremely confident in her alchemical skills, believing that among her peers, no one could surpass her except for the few old monsters in the heavens.

But it turned out she had overestimated him. The young man didn't look very old, but his unique insight, including the way he just saved the day, was many times stronger than hers.

She was so shocked that she couldn't speak, but the middle-aged man couldn't hold back.

Nonsense, if it were really as you say, how could a pill be made from the sap of Yinli bamboo found in the Fire Country

"That's because I made a move!"

"Ye Bufan said, 'All things in heaven and earth are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Apart from attributes, they also have their own nemesis. The nemesis of Yinli bamboo is scorching grass.'"

Although it's only at the tenth order, it can very well absorb and merge with the yin nature of Yin Weeping Bamboo.

That's precisely why this batch of pills was saved. If I hadn't intervened, the furnace would have exploded.

Every word was forceful and resolute, refuting the middle-aged man while also explaining the confusion that had arisen in everyone's minds just now.

This is when everyone knew why Ye Bufan had thrown in a blazing sun grass before, and why he had stabilized the alchemy furnace so quickly. It turned out that everything was under his control all along.

The Grandmaster's heart, which had just settled after calming everything, was shocked once again.

As an eleventh-rank Immortal Alchemist, out of professional instinct, Ye Bufan had thought about how to crack it after revealing the truth, but he couldn't come up with anything after thinking about it for a long time.

This man actually came up with a plan in such a short time, and it was effective. What kind of alchemy skill would it take to achieve this

Not only is he incapable himself, but even if the current Dan King were to take his place, he probably wouldn't be able to do it either.

"No, he couldn't possibly have such high alchemy skills. He must have just happened to know these things. It's impossible for him to surpass me, let alone be on par with the Pill King."

"You dare to play dirty!"

In the midst of their conversation, she transformed as if someone had flipped a switch. She was no longer the aloof and composed Grand Alchemist from before. Instead, she erupted with fury, delivering a vicious kick to her opponent's abdomen.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to argue, but the other party didn't give him a chance to speak and directly attacked.

The entire person was sent flying like a cannonball, instantly kicked out hundreds of feet.

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow. This woman was actually a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, much stronger than he had expected.

The strength of the Great Dane Master was obviously beyond the initial expectation of that Immortal Emperor. This guy barely managed to stabilize his figure, and with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.

Seeing the other figure flash and reappear before him, he hurriedly cried out in alarm, "The Fire Shadow scroll was bought by me. I don't know if it has been tampered with."

"You say I'm a great master and I'm not It's not my responsibility. Why do you lay hands on me"

His words were indeed timely and had a certain effect. The Grandmaster's raised palm retracted, and his imposing aura gradually dissipated.

The middle-aged man let out a long sigh of relief, having finally dodged a bullet.

As for Fire Shadow Kage, he naturally wouldn't be unaware of this. And this kind of trickery wasn't the first time he'd used it; he had already tricked several powerful Dōjutsu users before.

As a wandering immortal emperor, he obtained a large amount of cultivation resources through this method.

This time, he thought he would make a big profit again. Everything went smoothly at first, but unexpectedly, a young kid jumped out at the crucial moment and completely disrupted his plans.

I never expected this Great Dan Master's strength to be so formidable. Not only is he a Xiandi, but he's also in the middle stage, one level stronger than me.

Fortunately, the other party was still a person of principle. Soothed by my few words, he quickly added: "I engage in fair trade. I'll compensate you for refining the pills, but everything else is irrelevant to me."

If you go against the rules and attack me, who will dare to come to you for alchemy in the future

The Great Dane Master sighed, suppressing the anger in his heart, and flipped his wrist: "Bring me my payment!"

This time, the middle-aged man didn't dare to hesitate at all. He hurriedly raised his hand and sent the ethereal cloud stone flying over.

The Grandmaster took it in his hand, glanced at it, and then passed it to Ye Bufan.

"This is your reward!"

Thank you.

Ye Bufan was overjoyed at the moment, this was considered a fortunate windfall. With this piece of Piao Miao Yun Stone, his Nine Heavens could reach the level of a top-grade immortal artifact.

Seeing his plan completely fail, he ended up not only getting nothing but also losing what he had used as bait. The treasure he had previously used to lure the target was now in the hands of that young man. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes filled with murderous intent.g as he intimidated her, she would immediately back down.To my surprise, a flicker of hesitation crossed Wang Xue'ning's face before she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes: "Come on, it's better th...
