Chapter 3979: Farewell

Hua Qiqi's beautiful face flushed, and she forcefully suppressed her inner excitement, performing the pill collection incantation.

With a wave of her hand, three blue Medicinal Pills fell into the Jade Bottle in her palm.

Ice Soul Pill, a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill.

Although the three pills in front of her were somewhat flawed, with pitted surfaces and no pill lines, clearly Low Grade, they were successful nonetheless.

Being able to refine this kind of Medicinal Pill proved that she had reached the standard of a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill Master.

"Hahaha, I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"

Hua Qiqi, whose heart had been suppressed for a hundred years, finally released her emotions.

She was overjoyed and turned to embrace Ye Bufan.

"Teacher, I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"

Both her words and actions were a release of her inner feelings.

From the bottom of her heart, she had already considered this Young man her teacher, as without him, she would not have been able to achieve such a significant improvement.

Only after succeeding did she realize how vast the gap was between her and him.

Without Young Master Ye's guidance, she might never have been able to enter the ranks of a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill Master in her lifetime.

It was precisely because of this that her address of "Teacher" came from the bottom of her heart; although there was no formal apprenticeship ceremony, her respect for him was not diminished in the slightest.

At the same time, in her extreme excitement, she embraced him.

She couldn't quite explain the specific reason, only that she wanted to share her joy with him.

"Congratulations!"

Ye Bufan's face broke into a smile.

His Legacy was from the Ancient Medical Sect, and his Alchemy attainments had already reached the pinnacle of this realm.

As long as his cultivation and Mental Energy were sufficient, he could refine the corresponding Medicinal Pills, so he had not experienced the joy of such an advancement.

However, this did not prevent him from understanding Hua Qiqi's joy.

After calming down slightly, Hua Qiqi realized she was tightly embracing him.

Her cheeks immediately flushed, and she quickly let go.

"Teacher, thank you!"

"I told you we are just friends, helping each other, learning from each other, there's no need for 'Teacher' or anything like that."

As Ye Bufan spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a Jade Slip appeared in his palm.

"These are the twenty-seven mistakes you made during your recent Alchemy session.

Reflect on them carefully, and you will continue to improve in the future."

He hadn't offered reminders just now, but he had noted everything important and inscribed it into the Jade Slip.

"Teacher…"

Hua Qiqi looked at Ye Bufan, her expression complex, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude.

Just then, her mind fluctuated, and she pulled out a communication Jade Talisman.

After scanning her Divine Sense and reading the message inside, her expression subtly changed.

When she looked up again, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Teacher, I have an urgent matter and need to leave here.

I can no longer continue learning Alchemy from you."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, "It's nothing.

You've learned almost everything you need to learn.

From now on, further improvement will depend on your own comprehension."

"Mm."

Hua Qiqi nodded slightly, then paused and said, "Teacher, with your Alchemy attainments, aren't you going to participate in the Dan Wang Competition?"

"That's exactly my intention.

In a few days, I'll also need to obtain an Alchemist's badge."

Ye Bufan didn't hide anything and directly stated his intentions.

"Alright then, we'll meet again in the future."

After he finished speaking, Hua Qiqi felt a sense of relief in her heart and said no more, turning to leave.

She left, and Ye Bufan also didn't continue refining Medicinal Pills here.

Through three days of accumulation, he had quite a few immortal spirit grasses in his hand.

After a simple tally, he was only missing two main Materials for refining the Twelfth-Order Emperor Earth Pill: emperor flower and Qiankun grass.

This kind of Medicinal Pill is considered High Grade among Twelfth-Order ones and can help an Immortal Emperor improve his cultivation.

However, this Medicinal Pill is also extremely difficult to refine.

Firstly, it requires an Immortal Pill Master's Dao of Alchemy attainments to be extremely high, and at the same time, the Materials required are all extremely rare.

Thirty-six immortal spirit grasses, each one Twelfth-Order.

Ye Bufan had a fruitful harvest these past few days, acquiring a large number of immortal spirit grasses through Alchemy, which allowed him to gather thirty-four, leaving only two uncollected.

"Young Master Ye, are you leaving already?

Why don't you help us refine a few more batches of Medicinal Pills?"

Although Medicinal Pills had been refined for three days, the number of people queuing here had not decreased; instead, it had grown.

Hua Qiqi left, but no one paid much attention because over the past few days, they had clearly seen that this Young man had been guiding the Grand Alchemist in Alchemy, clearly indicating his higher attainments in the Dao of Alchemy.

If even he left, then they would truly be unable to refine any Medicinal Pills.

"I also have matters to attend to and cannot stay here indefinitely."

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "If any of you have an emperor flower or Qiankun grass, bring it out, and I can refine a batch of Medicinal Pills for free."

"This…"

The surroundings instantly fell silent, and countless people felt extremely disappointed in their hearts.

However, no one could stay here refining Medicinal Pills forever; it was reasonable for him to leave.

As for the emperor flower and Qiankun grass, everyone looked around, but no one produced them.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, then dismantled his stall.

He wandered around the Void Market again but still couldn't find the emperor flower and Qiankun grass.

However, it was normal to think about it; both immortal spirit grasses were extremely valuable, and it was difficult for ordinary people to obtain them.

Even if they had them, they wouldn't easily sell them.

Such things could only be found slowly through fate; rushing wouldn't help.

Ye Bufan left the Void Market and found an inn in Cold Valley Immortal City, renting a small courtyard.

He was also preparing to leave here and head to the Alchemist Guild, but before that, he planned to upgrade Nine Heavens first.

After all, a craftsman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well; a High Grade flying Immortal Artifact is much faster than a Low Grade one.

After setting up several Restrictions around him, Ye Bufan took out the misty cloud stone and began upgrading Nine Heavens.

About half a day later, a brand new flying Immortal Artifact appeared before everyone's eyes.

Compared to before, Nine Heavens now exuded a compelling Spiritual Qi and possessed a more stable and grand aura.

Looking at his creation, Ye Bufan nodded with satisfaction.

From the very beginning, Nine Heavens had always been with him, constantly upgrading, and now it had finally reached the level of a High Grade Immortal Artifact.

After finishing the refinement, he removed the Restrictions and directly led everyone out of the inn and out of Cold Valley Immortal City.

Outside the city gate, there were many people coming and going.

Ye Bufan did not rush to summon Nine Heavens, but instead led everyone a thousand miles away.

Seeing that there was no one around, he then took out Nine Heavens.

Just as everyone was about to jump on, a figure suddenly flashed, blocking their path.

It was none other than the Middle-aged Man from the Void Market.

"Brat, didn't expect this, did you?

You still can't escape this Immortal Emperor's grasp."

The Middle-aged Man's face was ferocious, filled with a cold sneer.

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist, as if he had already held everyone in front of him in his palm.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly.

He had previously guessed that this guy might be waiting for him outside, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?

I naturally want to skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

The Middle-aged Man gnashed his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred, "It's all because of you; you completely ruined this Immortal Emperor's plan.

It's because of you that I lost the misty cloud stone, and it's because of you that I exchanged three extremely valuable Materials for a worthless Low Grade Medicinal Pill.

Don't you think we should properly settle this score between us?"

As he spoke the last words, a dense, substantial killing intent erupted from his entire body.
