Nine Revolutions Star Technique

”What’s going on?”

Ye Qingchen stepped into the grand hall and saw the people inside looking despondent. Jiang Churan’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried. A servant quietly explained the situation to Ye Qingchen, who then understood the reason.

It turned out.

After Jiang Churan obtained the Turtle Bead, she immediately gave it to the Purple Cloud Alchemist to refine a pill. However, after Jiang Yuntian took the pill, instead of neutralizing the poison in his body, it caused the previously suppressed poison to spread throughout his body instantly.

Now he was in imminent danger!

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen looked over and saw Jiang Yuntian lying on the bed, his face shrouded in darkness, his breath weak as a thread.

”How could this happen?” Jiang Churan was in disbelief, looking lost as she gazed at the alchemist in purple, ”Master Purple Cloud, didn’t my father take the pill as you instructed? Why has it come to this?”

”It’s too late!”

The Purple Cloud Alchemist, despite his dignified and ethereal appearance, looked defeated at the moment.

He sighed deeply and said, ”I originally thought you would retrieve the Turtle Bead within seven days. Who would have thought it would take you a whole month? Now the poison has entered his bones, and medicine is powerless!”

Elder Gu’s expression changed upon hearing this: ”Master Purple Cloud, is there really no way?”

”Alas, we can only hope for a miracle!” The Purple Cloud Alchemist shook his head with a sigh, ”At least, I am powerless now!”

One must know.

In the Celestial Sea Continent where the Jiang Family resides, the Purple Cloud Alchemist is considered a top-tier alchemist. Even in the broader Western Domain, he is ranked among the best.

If he has no solution, then no one else could possibly have one.

As his words ended, everyone in the hall looked sorrowful.

Jiang Churan’s face turned ashen, and with a ’snap’, she staggered back a few steps, seemingly unable to accept it. In an instant, tears began to stream down her face, and the others were also sighing heavily.

”Wait!”

”This isn’t poisoning!”

Just when everyone thought Jiang Yuntian was doomed, in the silence of the hall, a voice suddenly rang out.

The crowd was shocked.

They turned to look.

They saw a handsome young man standing there, with Su Muzhe nearby, looking calm.

”Who are you? How dare you cause a scene here?” Some who didn’t know Ye Qingchen’s identity immediately jumped out to rebuke him.

Even those who knew Ye Qingchen’s identity felt displeased.

Especially Elder Gu, who inwardly cursed Ye Qingchen vehemently.

Who do you think you are?

You dare to question Master Purple Cloud’s diagnosis?

You actually dare to speak out in front of Master Purple Cloud?

Indeed.

The Purple Cloud Alchemist frowned slightly and looked over, ”Young man, what do you mean by this?”

Ye Qingchen, hands behind his back, said calmly, ”I mean, you made a mistake! Jiang Yuntian isn’t poisoned; you diagnosed him incorrectly. By using detoxification methods, you’re unable to save him, and instead, you exacerbate his condition.”

As his words fell, the hall bustled with noise.

Many people looked at Ye Qingchen as if he were an idiot.

You must know.

Jiang Yuntian’s poisoning diagnosis wasn’t made by Master Purple Cloud alone; several renowned alchemists from the Celestial Sea Continent concluded the same. For Ye Qingchen to say such things now, isn’t it like slapping their faces?

”Ye Qingchen, what are you saying?” Elder Gu stepped forward, speaking sternly, ”I know you have some knowledge of alchemy, but it’s just superficial; how dare you act recklessly in front of Master Purple Cloud? Leave at once!”

”You’re just a greenhorn; where do you get the nerve to question Master Purple Cloud’s decision? Do you know that Master Purple Cloud’s status in the Western Domain is as lofty as Mount Tai!”

”I heard this boy came from the Eastern Domain. Is he trying to show off in front of the young lady by saying such things on purpose?”

A chorus of discussions erupted in the hall.

Indeed.

Master Purple Cloud’s face turned cold, and he directly confronted Ye Qingchen, ”How long have you studied the Alchemy Dao to dare question my decision? At your age, you’re not even qualified to be my disciple, yet you dare to speak so boldly here?”

Ye Qingchen shook his head and said, ”Unable to even accurately diagnose the patient’s condition, you? Dare to reprimand me?”

”Impudent!”

”Audacious! How dare you speak to Master Purple Cloud like this?”

”Guards, beat him out with sticks!”

These words caused an uproar in the hall.

One must know.

Months ago, when Jiang Tianyun was poisoned, it was Master Purple Cloud who intervened to stabilize Jiang Tianyun’s condition. Without him, Jiang Yuntian would have died long ago from the poison, and he couldn’t possibly be alive today.

”What did you say?”

Master Purple Cloud could no longer maintain the composure of a master, and he burst out in rage, ”Brat, how dare you spout nonsense in my presence? When I was practicing alchemy, you didn’t even know where you were!”

”How much do you know about the principles of alchemy?”

”How much knowledge of the Alchemy Dao have you mastered?”

”You might have learned only a superficial level, yet you dare to act recklessly in my presence!” Every sentence the Purple Cloud Alchemist uttered pushed him a step forward. Now, after three steps, he stood in the center of the hall.

”I, Purple Cloud, apprenticed under Kong Xuan at the age of seven and have studied alchemy for over seventy years, further traveling through the Western Domain, gathering the wisdom of a hundred schools!”

”Half a year ago, Bai Family Ancestor Bai Zhanhong was gravely injured and beyond help; it was I who refined the Life Returning Pill and saved him!”

”Three years ago, the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Heaven Sect went mad from cultivation deviation; it was I who refined the Stabilizing Pulse Powder to stabilize his cultivation.”

”Five years ago, Master Fang Zheng of the Vajra Sect was suffering from declining Qi Blood; it was I who crafted the Primordial Pill to extend his life!”

...

”I, Purple Cloud, have practiced alchemy for seventy years and have never misdiagnosed. You, a brat, dare to disgrace me, insult me?”

For an alchemist.

The most important thing is their reputation.

Now, with Ye Qingchen’s direct confrontation, how could he endure it?

”Master, do not be angry. I’ll drive him away immediately!” Seeing Master Purple Cloud so furious, Elder Gu was frightened and hurriedly looked at Ye Qingchen, speaking coldly, ”Ye Qingchen, if you dare say another word, I will surely kill you!”

Saying that.

He clenched his fist tightly, his muscles taut, as if about to make a move. Given the Jiang Family’s current circumstances, they couldn’t afford to be resented by a mount Tai-like alchemist like Master Purple Cloud.

Others also looked unfriendly.

Many guards were already stepping forward, seemingly ready to expel Ye Qingchen.

Su Muzhe frowned slightly, seeing the situation, he quietly circulated his True Qi, ready to act.

”Heh!”

Nonetheless.

Ye Qingchen stood with hands behind his back, smiling faintly despite the crowd’s harsh glares, and looked at Master Purple Cloud with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying:

”You yourself are gravely ill and unable to heal yourself! Every day at 11:45 PM, don’t you feel your entire body freezing, and your Baihui Acupoint stabbing with pain as if with needles?” Ye Qingchen commented with that same faint, mocking smile.

”Ye Qingchen, shut up! Who gave you the courage to make such sensational claims here?”

Seeing Ye Qingchen daring to speak brazenly, Elder Gu’s eyes blazed with anger. He took large strides, quickly reaching Ye Qingchen, ready to strike.

”Stop!”

Jiang Churan suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly called out to stop him, but Elder Gu was unmoved.

However.

Ye Qingchen hadn’t finished speaking:

”And all these years, you must have been using the Red Flame Pill to ward off the cold. In theory, this Red Flame Pill should neutralize the cold within your body. Yet, why is it that each time you take it, the symptoms not only fail to disappear but instead gradually worsen?”

”So, you can only rely on the Life Returning Pill to hang on to life, but even so, you have at most only three months left.”

”When the last day comes, you’ll freeze to death completely. With all your means at an end, how do you have the right to lecture me? Do you deserve it?”

Boom!

As these words fell, Purple Cloud looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face turning ghastly white.

He stared at Ye Qingchen in utter shock, unable to utter a single word.
