Chapter 183: The Agreement

In fact, for Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji, when they learned that the Wash Marrow Pill was made by Yun Yi himself, they felt a sense of disappointment inside.

Qiao Shaoshan’s goal was to find out who was behind Yun Yi’s alchemy. He believed that only a skilled master could create such perfect pills, and perhaps they could cure his stubborn illness.

But he did not expect that it was Yun Yi himself who created them. A young boy from the innate realm capable of making perfect pills showed exceptional talent; he was a natural genius in alchemy.

However, a young alchemy genius might not have much experience, making it impossible for him to solve his own fire poison.

Just as Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji felt a bit disappointed, Yun Yi spoke and revealed that Qiao Shaoshan had hidden troubles.

In the entire Peace Villa, only he and Leng Ji knew about Qiao Shaoshan’s fire poison. Yun Yi knowing this surely came from his sharp observation, without a doubt.

What shocked Qiao Shaoshan even more was that he had hidden the fire poison extremely well. Even a One Line Sky Realm master standing in front of him would find it hard to discover if he did not reveal any signs. Yet, a boy from the innate realm, Yun Yi, could see right through Qiao Shaoshan’s condition. How could that not astonish him?

“Young Master Yun, how did you see through my adoptive father’s ailment?”

Leng Ji asked curiously, now calling him Young Master Yun as well. She knew that if Yun Yi could see Qiao Shaoshan’s ailment, he might have a way to treat it. No matter what, this boy was Qiao Shaoshan’s last hope. Plus, Yun Yi’s earlier display of extraordinary alchemical skill made Leng Ji look at him in a new light, no longer thinking lightly of him.

“I have my own judgment. Master Qiao’s energy is unstable; he must be suffering from fire poison affecting his heart. If it is not resolved quickly, within a year, the heart fire will consume him, destroying his organs, leading to death.”

Yun Yi spoke up.

“This…”

Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji were utterly stunned, secretly thinking that this magical boy was extraordinary enough to see through everything without any diagnosis; his vision was quite remarkable.

However, the more shocked Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji were, the more delight they felt in their hearts. They knew that in this vast world, there are all kinds of wonders. In ancient times, supreme geniuses were born, able to be blessed by natural Spirit Qi and walk in the air by the age of three, possessing the power to turn rivers and seas upside down.

This was a true talent of heaven, not something that could be judged by common sense. It might even be a great being reincarnated, all-knowing.

Such an extraordinary genius must not be underestimated.

“You are right. Years ago, I killed a Fire Spirit Crane and took its Crane Spirit Fire. I didn’t realize that the Fire Spirit Crane’s resentment was still strong. My greed and carelessness kept that resentment within me, and over time, it turned into fire poison. I tried countless ways to get rid of the fire poison, but not long ago, I used Ice Heart Saliva, hoping that its coldness would suppress the fire poison. Unfortunately, it backfired and caused the fire poison to erupt completely. As you said, I am now suffering from fire poison, and my life is running out.”

Qiao Shaoshan’s face showed sadness and sighs, and Yun Yi saw through his facade, so he stopped hiding.

“You refined Ice Heart Saliva? Didn’t Peace Villa announce they would auction Ice Heart Saliva at this event? Since Master Qiao used it himself, why deceive everyone?”

Upon hearing that Qiao Shaoshan had refined the Ice Heart Saliva, Yun Yi’s face immediately showed anger. He had come specifically for the Ice Heart Saliva, and he had tried hard to get close to Qiao Shaoshan. However, he did not expect to end up empty-handed, which made Yun Yi very upset.

At home, Grandpa was still in a wheelchair, and his time was running out. The hope he had finally seen was it going to shatter like this?

Yun Yi’s reaction surprised both Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji, but with their intelligence, they realized that Yun Yi must be there for the Ice Heart Saliva.

“Young Master Yun, please don’t worry. At first, we obtained two drops of Ice Heart Saliva. My adoptive father only refined one drop, and the other drop is planned for auction. Our Peace Villa values our reputation and would never deceive anyone.”

Leng Ji spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. One drop of Ice Heart Saliva was already enough for Yun Canghai.

“Master Qiao, I will be straightforward. I came to Peace Villa for the Ice Heart Saliva. I can treat your stubborn illness and help you remove the fire poison from your body, but in return, you must give me the Ice Heart Saliva. I truly desire the Ice Heart Saliva, and I hope it does not end up at the auction, bringing unknown risks.”

Yun Yi spoke directly and revealed his purpose.

“Can you really cure my adoptive father’s stubborn illness?”

Leng Ji stepped forward nervously and looked at Yun Yi. If he could cure Qiao Shaoshan’s fire poison, then the mere Ice Heart Saliva meant nothing.

“Of course.”

Yun Yi replied.

“Why should we trust you?”

Leng Ji asked.

“Because I am Master Qiao’s last hope. In all of Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State, there is no one else who can help Master Qiao remove the fire poison.”

Yun Yi said, his face filled with confidence.

Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji looked at each other and nodded silently. Yun Yi was right; the current situation left no room for them to trust or not. They even had no right to choose to believe, for Yun Yi was Qiao Shaoshan’s last hope and the only hope.

“Alright, I believe you.”

Qiao Shaoshan nodded and finally chose to trust Yun Yi. So far, Yun Yi was the only person who could immediately see his true situation, and he was the first talented alchemist Qiao Shaoshan had ever met with the skill of a master.

Just based on these two points, Qiao Shaoshan had reason to believe in Yun Yi.

Moreover, he believed that Yun Yi would not deceive him because of the Ice Heart Saliva, as Yun Yi did not have the power to trick him. Otherwise, even if he obtained the Ice Heart Saliva, he would not have been able to take it from Peace Villa.

In fact, if Yun Yi tricked Qiao Shaoshan, he himself would not be able to leave Peace Villa. Qiao Shaoshan believed that Yun Yi understood this better than he did.

“However, the day after tomorrow is my birthday celebration, so let’s wait until after the celebration for you to help me remove the fire poison. Also, the Ice Heart Saliva has already been announced to appear at the auction. I cannot lose the reputation of Peace Villa. I will find another way to give the Ice Heart Saliva to you. During my birthday celebration, I will have the young Medicine Pill Masters from various forces compete for the Ice Heart Saliva as the prize. What do you think?”

Qiao Shaoshan said he chose to have Yun Yi help him remove the fire poison after the birthday celebration for his own reasons. He worried that if the fire poison was removed, he might become weak or something unexpected could happen during the process, preventing him from attending the birthday celebration normally. This would expose his secret completely.

Additionally, he saw giving the Ice Heart Saliva as a reward as a win-win situation, protecting the reputation of Peace Villa while successfully handing over the Ice Heart Saliva to Yun Yi.

After witnessing Yun Yi’s Alchemical Technique, Qiao Shaoshan believed that none of the young Medicine Pill Masters from various forces who came this time could match Yun Yi.
