Chapter 2318: Li Gui and Li Kui

“Ten furnaces of Void Essence Pill!”

A cold smile played on Ye Bufan’s lips. This Old thing was truly calculating.

If he really refined ten furnaces of Void Essence Pill, their value would be immeasurable. He truly didn't mind taking advantage.

“Alright, refining some Medicinal Pill is no difficulty for me.”

Ye Bufan looked at Li Muyang and said, “But before that, I have a few questions I’d like to ask Grandmaster Li.”

“I wouldn’t dare to be called a teacher, but this old man has gained some insights from following my Master all these years. If Medical Immortal Ye has any questions, feel free to ask.”

Li Muyang was overjoyed at this moment, not expecting the other party to agree so easily.

If he could really get ten furnaces of Grade 8 Medicinal Pill, the money from selling them would definitely be no less than ten million High-Grade Spirit Stone.

“Then I’ll ask.”

Ye Bufan’s lips curved into a playful smile, “Is your Master truly Kunlun Divine Smith Lu Chaozong? I heard that he never took any Disciple.”

“Uh… you’re talking about that…”

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment, then said, “My Master is humble and low-key, generally disliking ostentation. Not many people know that he took me as a Disciple.”

“Begging your pardon, but as far as I know, the Kunlun Craftsman God is less than a hundred years old. In terms of age, he’s not older than Grandmaster Li, right? How are you two still Master and Disciple?”

“This…”

Li Muyang clearly hadn’t prepared for these questions beforehand, and a fine layer of sweat had already seeped onto his forehead.

“As the saying goes, the skilled are teachers. Although I am a bit older, it’s nothing; it doesn’t hinder me from learning Artifact Refining skill from my teacher.”

“So, Grandmaster Li is very proficient in Artifact Refining skill?”

Hearing Ye Bufan no longer press the issue about Lu Chaozong, Li Muyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Of course. Although I can’t be called an Artifact Refining Great Master, I’ve learned eighty percent of my Master’s abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so certain that this in front of us is a five-colored mystic stone.”

Ye Bufan smiled coldly: “Is that so? Then I’d like to ask Grandmaster Li, what is a five-colored mystic stone? What is the basis for distinguishing its authenticity?”

“This is a five-colored mystic stone.”

The panic in Li Muyang’s eyes flashed away, then he held the stone in his hand and said, “For Artifact Refiners with profound attainments like us, identifying a stone is entirely based on our feeling. We know whether it’s real or fake with just a glance.”

“Is that so? Why is what I know different from what Grandmaster Li said?”

Ye Bufan said, “As far as I know, five-colored mystic stone contains extremely pure Five Elements Qi, and its colors are divided into five according to the Earth Element colors.

They are green for wood attribute, red for fire attribute, yellow for earth attribute, white for metal attribute, and black for water attribute.

Moreover, these five colors are incompatible with each other, with no intermixing whatsoever. It is precisely for this reason that five-colored mystic stone has distinct edges and corners, and is not a round stone at all.”

“This…”

Li Muyang’s eyes instantly widened. He hadn’t expected the other party to have such a deep understanding of five-colored mystic stone.

Ye Bufan looked at him and smiled, “So, deception is also a skill; at the very least, you need to put in some effort.

To trick me out of ten million High-Grade Spirit Stone, you at least need to clarify the color and shape of five-colored mystic stone.

Like yours, the color scheme is wrong, and the shape is completely off. And you still want to take ten million High-Grade Spirit Stone from me? Do you think I’m foolish or are you?”

After he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the arena, and everyone suddenly realized…

No wonder Ye Bufan hadn’t paid much attention to that skinny man before; it turned out he had already seen that the stone was fake.

Indeed, that was the case; from the very beginning, Ye Bufan had already seen through it.

The item in front of him was not a five-colored mystic stone at all, but a crystal called three-colored mystic stone, which had later been processed and dyed.

Three-colored mystic stone is also an Artifact Refining Materials. Although its value cannot compare to that of a five-colored mystic stone, a piece this large could still sell for one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stone.

So, his initial offer wasn't random. If the skinny man had understood the hidden meaning in his words, and just sold him the stone, that would have been the end of it.

But the other party didn't understand the value of the three-colored mystic stone, and still wanted to continue the deception, performing a double act with this so-called Grandmaster Li, thinking they could succeed this way.

Little did they know that their trickery might fool others, but in front of Ye Bufan, it was full of holes.

Moreover, this Old thing was impersonating the Disciple of Kunlun Divine Smith Lu Chaozong, unaware that he was a fake encountering the real deal; the true Disciple was standing right before him.

Li Muyang was also an experienced swindler. Although exposed, he didn't panic too much and continued to speak eloquently.

“Medical Immortal Ye, your Medical skill is indeed impressive, but in terms of Artifact Refining, you cannot compare to me, a Disciple of the Kunlun Craftsman God.

These things you’re saying are completely hearsay and incorrect. This piece in front of you is a five-colored mystic stone. Since you don’t want it, then so be it. I’ll take my leave.”

After speaking, he turned to leave, but his path was already blocked by Jiang Fangzhou.

On the other side, Nalan Yujia’s true essence large hand reached out of thin air, grabbing the skinny man who was watching the commotion from a distance and throwing him heavily to the ground.

At this moment, he no longer had the indifference he had shown before; his face was filled with horror.

This person originally had a Body Integration Stage cultivation, and according to past experience, even if the deception failed, he could still escape.

But he never expected that the other party would casually display a Dongxu Realm cultivation. How could there still be a chance to escape?

Li Muyang finally became a bit unsettled. He turned back and asked, “Medical Immortal Ye, what are you doing?

It’s fine if you don’t agree with this old man’s words, but are you not letting me leave?

Let me tell you, my Master is Kunlun Divine Smith Lu Chaozong. He has friends all over the world. Once you anger him, you cannot bear the consequences.”

“Old thing, are you still going to pretend at this point?”

Ye Bufan’s face still held a cold smile, but an endless killing intent emanated from his body.

Although Lu Chaozong had never formally accepted him as a Disciple, there was indeed a Master-Disciple relationship between them.

Now that Lu Chaozong had already passed away, yet this Old thing was still impersonating him to deceive people, which ignited a monstrous killing intent in his heart.

“You say you are the Disciple of the Kunlun Craftsman God, then do you have his unique flame?”

Li Muyang felt something was off, but he didn't know what the problem was. He braced himself and said, “You really do have some insight to even know about unique flames.

That is Master’s treasure. It’s only a matter of time before it’s passed on to me, but I don’t have it yet.”

“Is that so? Then what do you call this?”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he extended a hand, and a ball of purple flame continuously danced in his palm, emitting an eerie glow.

Although the flame was small, it brought an boundless sense of oppression.

“This… This is Burning Sky Purple Flame!”

Li Muyang often impersonated the Disciple of the Kunlun Craftsman God to deceive people, and he had indeed put a lot of effort into studying Lu Chaozong, having a good understanding of related information. He immediately recognized it as Burning Sky Purple Flame.

At this moment, he finally understood where the problem lay. It turned out that the other person was the true Disciple of the Kunlun Craftsman God.

At this point, he had no more illusions. He instantly raised his cultivation to its peak and rushed towards the other side of the long street.

But before he could run a few steps, a ball of purple flame suddenly ignited from within his body!

“Ah!”

Li Muyang let out a blood-curdling scream. He had originally wanted to bow and beg for mercy, but before he could utter a word, his entire being had already been completely burned into nothingness, leaving no ashes behind.
