( 201 - 400 ) Unrivaled Medicine God

Chapter 312: Demanding an Exorbitant Price

It was a paradox whether to primarily cultivate essence energy or soul force.

To the vast majority of people in this world, cultivating both at the same time would only end up with accomplishing nothing.

In reality, the difficulty of breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm was lower for alchemists compared to martial artists.

But the problem was that alchemists needed to spend countless energy on the path of alchemy. There were far too many things they needed to grasp.

Just the understanding of various kinds of medicinal herbs was an extremely profound study, plenty for a martial artist to research their entire lives.

Alchemists still had to take into consideration the cultivation of essence energy under such circumstances. That was a virtually impossible thing.

But to martial artists, raising soul force was too challenging.

If the soul force did not reach a certain level, the divine soul would simply be inadequate to communicate with the essence energy sea and breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm from there!

It was precisely because so that a treasure that could assist peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists to breakthrough their fetters would naturally be exceptionally valuable!

Hearing Ye Yuan say so, everyone from the Tranquil Cloud Sect showed heated gazes.

What did this soul jade mean? It meant that the sect could have at least one more Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!

Lin Chao's complexion was ugly as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye must be joking. Where would we get such a treasure?"

Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Each person has to pay the price for their actions! You lured the Bloodthirsty Skywolves over, and Senior Apprentice Brother Pang lost an arm because of this. Aren't you taking it too easy to want to use some medicinal herbs to dismiss us?"

"But . . . this is also the first time I've heard of such a wondrous item! We really don't have it!" Lin Chao said awkwardly.

But Ye Yuan pressed on harder. "Talking anymore is pointless. If Senior Apprentice Brother Lin wants to prove your innocence, please take out your storage rings to let us have a look."

Lin Chao's expression changed, and his face darkened at once. "Isn't this request of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye going too far? Although my Purple Mansion Sect stumbled in this mystic realm, we're still the number two great sect in the Southern Domain. Does Junior Apprentice Brother Ye really want to fall out with us?"

This sort of thing like searching storage rings was a burning disgrace to a martial artist. Because hidden within one's storage rings were secrets that many did not wish to divulge.

But Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said, "If Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is confident that the four of you can escape, you can give it a shot. I, Ye Yuan, am not someone who indiscriminately slaughters innocent people. I can understand you drawing the wolf pack over to protect yourself. But if you think that I'm easy to bully, then you're making a very grave mistake."

An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist talking this way to an Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm. No matter how one listened to it, it sounded rather odd.

But at this very moment, Lin Chao sensed an incredible pressure!

The scene of Ye Yuan massacring the wolf pack was still fresh in Lin Chao's memories. That sort of casual slaughtering, Lin Chao touched his heart and knew that he was unable to do it.

Lin Chao suddenly felt a false impression, as if he was not facing an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, but a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!

Lin Chao did not speak. He was clearly gauging his own strength whether he could disentangle himself or not.

Finally, he still sighed disappointedly and said, "Forget it, forget it. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is more shrewd than others and is well-informed. This Lin admires! I'm afraid that barely anyone can recognize this soul jade in the entire Southern Domain. To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can guess it without even seeing it."

As he spoke, Lin Chao retrieved a grey colored jade piece the size of a goose egg from his storage ring.

But Ye Yuan did not reach out to take it. He spoke again, "Since Senior Apprentice Brother Lin already acknowledges it, why be so miserly? I don't want all of it either, just half will do."

Lin Chao's face changed again, but he fished out another four pieces of soul jades from his storage ring, roughly the same sizes as before.

"We only obtained a total of ten pieces of soul jades this trip. This is half already!" Lin Chao gritted his teeth and said.

Ye Yuan smiled but still did not reach his hand out.

Lin Chao was on the verge of collapsing. His hands trembled as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn't shooting a random number, right? This is really half of the amount already!"

"Whether it is or not, I naturally have a clear idea in my mind. You just have to bother with taking them out. I definitely won't take more!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

Lin Chao examined himself that he was highly devious and was extremely intelligent. But when facing Ye Yuan, he always had a feeling of being unable to exert strength.

From start to the end of this exchange, it was always Ye Yuan who grasped the initiative. He had never been so aggrieved before!

With a clench of his jaw, Lin Chao took out another seven pieces of soul jades!

"This time, it's really half. There's not a single piece more! If you still demand an exorbitant price, then let's fight it out to the death!" Lin Chao was about to break down.

But this time, Ye Yuan waved his long sleeves and put those 12 pieces of soul jades into his storage rings.
