In the Alchemy Hall, many elders gathered together to discuss Shao Yun's sudden retreat.
"Tell me, what happened to Shao Yun at Ye Yuan's place? Why do I feel weirder and weirder the more I think about it?"
"Logically speaking, the most likely possibility for Shao Yun to retreat is that he was defeated. He felt that he had lost face and was embarrassed to come to see us, so he chose to retreat. But the problem is that it took less than half a quarter of an hour for Shao Yun to enter Ye Yuan's residence.
There’s not even enough time for them to say a few words!”
"Yes, half an hour is not enough to explain a pill recipe clearly. What can be done? This is not a competition between warriors. Can Ye Yuan kill him instantly?"
"Elder Xin, you are our big brother, you still have to come forward in this matter! Could it be that all the elders in our Alchemy Hall are really going to be outclassed by a small alchemy master?"
As soon as he said this, all the elders looked at the old man sitting at the top with his eyes closed and meditating. He was the third seat of the Alchemy Hall, Xin Yuanshu, the number one person under Ouyang Yu and the deputy hall master!
Xin Yuanshu is the oldest and highest-level elder in the Alchemy Hall, so he has naturally become the backbone of everyone.
Xin Yuanshu is also a high-level quasi-alchemy king, but his strength is much stronger than Shao Yun. He has been promoted to a high-level quasi-alchemy king for decades. Although he is slightly inferior to Ouyang Yu, he is not far behind.
Xin Yuanshu naturally had some objections to the fact that an alchemist like Ye Yuan became the nominal elder of the alchemy hall, otherwise he would not be here today.
It's just that he has always respected the Supreme Elder, so he never said anything.
Xin Yuanshu was naturally happy to see Shao Yun challenge Ye Yuan, but he didn't expect that he would fall into it.
As a result, he was naturally pushed out by everyone.
Seeing the elders gathered around, Xin Yuanshu opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and sighed: "Okay, I will just go away and meet Ye Yuan for a while."
Xin Yuanshu is already old. Even if he feels unhappy, he is unwilling to do such competitive things.
Although Shao Yun is not as strong as him, his reputation as the fifth seat is definitely not in vain. I thought he would be able to capture him easily, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen.
In such a weird situation, it would be safest to ask the hall master to come forward, but that would leave no room for maneuver.
Xin Yuanshu stayed in Dantang all his life and had a very deep affection for Dantang. Now that it was about the glory of Dantang, he had to put his old face aside.
Even if a 200-year-old old man faced off against a 15-year-old boy, he would still be victorious.
If he loses, he will really be in danger of losing.
If it were before, Xin Yuanshu would never have thought about the word "lose", but with Shao Yun's matter at hand, he was not so sure now.
As everyone said, this Ye Yuan is very weird.
The elders were originally worried that Elder Xin would not come forward, but now that he agreed, they were naturally overjoyed.
…
Xin Yuanshu was not as arrogant as Shao Yun. When he came to Diziying, he knocked directly on the door of No. 72.
After Shao Yun's battle, Ye Yuan's residence was already known to the elders of Dantang.
Before this, these elders really couldn't remember the residence number of a core disciple.
It was still Lu'er who opened the door. She only showed her little head and had no intention of letting Xin Yuanshu in.
Xin Yuanshu was about to speak, but Lu'er spoke first: "May I ask this elder's name?"
Xin Yuanshu was stunned, but he still announced his family name: "I, Xin Yuanshu, am the third seat of the Alchemy Hall. I am..."
"boom!"
Before Xin Yuanshu finished speaking, Lu'er closed the door.
Xin Yuanshu was stunned at first, and then felt endless humiliation and annoyance!
After all, like a master, like a servant!
The master is so ignorant, and so is the maid!
How can there be such hospitality?
Even if you, Ye Yuan, are really the elder of the Alchemy Hall, I, Xin Yuanshu, am also your senior, right?
Just as Xin Yuanshu was about to get angry, the door creaked open again.
This time Lu'er showed a small head and an arm.
"Elder Xin Yuanshu, right? This is the jade slip for you. The young master said that you will go back after reading it." Lu'er was afraid that Xin Yuanshu wouldn't read it, so he added: "Well...that elder Shao Yun from before
, also left after reading the jade slips."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang and there was no more sound.
Xin Yuanshu held the jade slip in his hand with a look of astonishment on his face.
He had already ignored Ye Yuan and Lu'er's hospitality and focused on the second half of Lu'er's words.
Shao Yun went into seclusion because of this jade slip?
Given Ye Yuan's level, what could the jade slip he carved be?
If there is anything that Shao Yun likes about Ye Yuan, it can only be the elixir!
Ye Yuan knows many elixir recipes that the sect does not know. This is already the consensus of the elders. But Shao Yun will give up the challenge just because of one elixir recipe?
Isn’t this too ignorant?
After thinking for a long time, Xin Yuanshu couldn't figure it out, so he decided to take a look at the jade slips first!
When Xin Yuanshu's consciousness sank into the jade slip, he instantly understood why Shao Yun had gone into seclusion!
Then, his expression became as exciting as Shao Yun's...
…
"Elder Xin has been gone for so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
"I don't know. Could it be that the two of them are fighting inextricably?"
"How is it possible? Elder Xin's level is almost as good as that of the hall master. Isn't it a piece of cake to torture Ye Yuan?"
"Then how do you explain that he hasn't come back yet?"
In the alchemy hall, the two elders fell silent at the same time, and suddenly looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief, but they said in unison: "Isn't it possible that they are also in retreat?"
So, they sent people to investigate again, and the result was indeed a retreat!
All the elders looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.
This situation is really weird...
The third and fifth seats of Dantang went to challenge Ye Yuan, but they ended up in retreat for no apparent reason without even saying hello. What happened?
"What kind of evil spell did Ye Yuan cast that actually made Elder Xin and Elder Shao go into seclusion without even saying hello? They...couldn't they be under some evil spell?"
When encountering unexplainable situations, some people will naturally think of some evil method.
The elders were speechless.
After a long time, an elder suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to meet Ye Yuan too, but I don't believe it. He can make me go into seclusion too!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the door without waiting for anyone to stop him.
He was in a great mood when he left, but the result was... he didn't come back either.
This elder went into seclusion again!
The development of the situation is getting more and more weird, and the elders almost feel like they have seen a ghost.
Forget about one or two, these three people are a bit hard to explain, right?
However, the matter was not over. In the next two days, several elders who thought highly of themselves came to challenge Ye Yuan unconvinced.
