C19 The Tables Have Turned!

"This... Elder Feng, what did he do for you to thank him in front of everyone?"

Coming back to his senses, Ye Zhenfeng looked at Elder Feng and asked.

In his heart, he was still extremely unwilling to let Ye Lan go.

However, Elder Feng had advised them to not punish Ye Lan.

Furthermore, he even wanted to show gratitude towards Ye Lan in front of everyone. Wouldn't this matter indirectly raise Ye Lan's status and image in the minds of the higher-ups of the Ye Family?

If that were to happen, it would be even more difficult to find a way to allow his own son to successfully inherit the position of patriarch in the future!

"It certainly was a big deal. If it wasn't for that youth, this old man wouldn't have been able to refine the Essence Recovery Pill!"

Elder Feng responded with a smile.

Not only were they able to refine the Essence Recovery Pills in large quantities, but the pills were even relatively superior than the Qin Family's Vitality Replenishing Pills.

Elder Feng fully understood that he did not discover such a miraculous pill by himself, nor did his apprentices accidentally create it out of sheer luck.

If it weren't for Ye Lan's advice yesterday, Elder Feng would never have believed that adding a Heart Congealing Stone into the Essence Recovery Liquid could increase the quality of the product but even condense it into an Essence Recovery Pill!

Thus, Elder Feng judged Ye Lan's casual advice yesterday to be of utmost importance. It was certainly a huge fortune for him to stumble upon such an unexpected event.

This was the reason why he stopped the higher-ups of the Ye Family from punishing Ye Lan and even took the opportunity to thank him in public.

Furthermore, Elder Feng hoped that his actions today would leave behind a good impression of himself on Ye Lan. Who knows whether he might have to ask Ye Lan for more advice in the future when refining medicinal liquids?

Though he wasn't very sure of it himself, he started to wonder whether Ye Lan really knew how to refine medicine or not.

However, the matter yesterday regarding adding the Heart Congealing Stone into the Essence Recovery Liquid to make the Essence Recovery Pills was certainly too strange to call it a mere coincidence or accident. Thus, Elder Feng speculated that Ye Lan might actually be well-informed about alchemy!

Otherwise, how could a young man like him utter such unheard-of words in such a casual manner?

Upon hearing Elder Feng's claims, everyone from the Ye Family stood petrified in stupor.

The reason why Elder Feng's gratitude was actually related to the Essence Recovery Pill?

But... that shouldn't be right! That can't be right!

How could Ye Lan know anything about alchemy, let alone about refining medicinal liquids?

Sure, that trash might have suddenly obtained a burst of strength, but he couldn't possibly gained that much knowledge as well, right?

Therefore, how could the creation of the Essence Recovery Pill possibly be related to Ye Lan?

For a moment, everyone's minds were filled with endless doubt!

"Elder... Elder Feng, don't you think too highly of Ye Lan? The Essence Recovery Pill was discovered by you and the other apothecaries after putting in a large amount of effort. How could it possibly be related to Ye Lan?"

Ye Zhenfeng regained his senses and smiled awkwardly.

He did not believe Elder Feng's words, or rather, he did not want to believe it.

If the successful refinement of the Essence Recovery Pill was really all thanks to Ye Lan's help...

Then, Ye Zhenfeng clearly knew that his son could never hope to win the hearts of the other higher-ups in the Ye Family, for Ye Lan will be showered in glory!

It was also because of this reason that Ye Zhenfeng found it difficult to accept this fact.

"What? Does this old man look like someone who would spout nonsense?"

Hearing Ye Zhenfeng's doubts, Elder Feng said in an unhappy tone.

"Elder Feng, please calm down. I... That's not what I meant."

Noticing the irritation in Elder Feng's voice, Ye Zhenfeng hurriedly bowed down and tried to defend himself, afraid that he would offend Elder Feng.

Standing at the side, many of the higher-ups bowed slightly with awkward smiles, hinting for Elder Feng to calm down.

They fully understood that Elder Feng would never lie to them, especially about such matters.

Since he had already spoken the truth, then Ye Lan had truly contributed greatly into the discovery and refinement of the Essence Recovery Pill!

Thinking of that fact, the higher-ups of the Ye Family all looked towards Ye Lan in the distance with mixed emotions.

That piece of trash from the past had actually taken such a huge leap forward and ultimately becoming a capable man.

At the peak of the seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm, Ye Lan was actually able to defeat Ye Xuan with a single punch.

Moreover, Ye Lan stood as the main reason why his Ye Family was able to sell the Essence Recovery Pills in large quantities on the market and compete against the Qin Family's Vitality Replenishing Pills.

It was definitely a blessing for the Ye Family to have raised such a capable disciple.

At this moment, many of the higher-ups of the Ye Family began to ponder whether they should stand by Ye Zhenqun's side and support Ye Lan in the future to ascend as the next patriarch of the Ye Family or not.

However, after thinking about it, they decided to wait a bit longer to make the ultimate decision.

Although they would not immediatelly make the decisiion to support Ye Lan, they would, at the very least, not treat Ye Lan as useless trash anymore.

"Alright, everyone may go back to what they were doing. The banquet shall continue!"

Ye Zhenqun took advantage of the opportunity and announced to avoid further troubles.

Naturally, he was also in a shocked state after hearing Elder Feng's claims. The refinement of the Essence Recovery Pill was actually all thanks to this own son?

Filled with curiousity, he wanted to know just how his son had suddenly become such a capable person?

However, he decided to postpone his questions until after the banquet.

With that, everyone dispersed and returned to their seats. Ye Zhenqun also led Elder Feng the others back to their tables to continue the celebration.

As for Ye Lan, he held onto Ye Yu's hand and brought her over to a table at the corner of the Banquet Hall as they ate and talked about various things without a care in the world.

In the midst of the Banquet Hall, the Ye Family disciples looked at Ye Lan with a completely different gaze.

To think that Ye Lan did not only know how to cultivate but also how to refine pills!

From now on, they wanted to get on good terms with him as they look to him for help in the future.

After taking a moment to think about this, many Ye Family disciples lifted their wine cups one after another and greeted Ye Lan, hoping to get closer to him.

As the saying goes, one should forgive a person who had already apologized to them.

Despite looking down on Ye Lan in the past, each of the Ye Family disciples was now acting so courteously and respectfully towards him. In response, Ye Lan decided to not give them the cold shoulder but instead raised his own cup and greeted them. He then dismissed all the ones who came over with intentions of establishing a good relationship with him.

At this moment, there were only two people in the Ye Family that he truly cared about — Ye Yu and his father.

Naturally, no matter how those Ye Family disciples flattered him, Ye Lan still wore a carefree expression on his face, not caring about them in the slightest.

"Damn it! That piece of trash has now turned the tables on us!"

In another corner of the Banquet Hall, Ye Ran glared menacingly at the piece of trash that he had often humiliated and beaten up in the past. In contrast to his past self, Ye Lan was now respected by all the Ye Family disciples as they attempted to get closer to him.

At the side, Ye Tao remained silent as he glanced coldly at Ye Lan, feeling extremely frustration and jealous.

Today, Ye Lan had stolen the limelight.

Only after a long time did the banquet come to an end.

With that, all the Ye Family disciples dispersed and left in their own cliques as they talked about the shock that Ye Lan had brought them in the Banquet Hall today.

Many of the higher ups of the Ye Family had also begun to take their leave.

But before Ye Zhenqun left, he told Ye Lan to find him at the study room later.

"Ye Lan, I hope you can advise this old man about how you can refine the Congealing Essence Liquid into the Congealing Essence Pill."

When everyone finally left the Banquet Hall, Elder Feng walked up to Ye Lan and asked with a fawning smile.

At the same time, he took out a bottle of Congealing Essence Liquid that he painstakingly refined.

The Congealing Essence Pill was a further refined version of the Congealing Essence Liquid that allows cultivators of the Qi Gathering Stage to quickly heal their injuries.

If he were to learn the method to refine the Congealing Essence Pills from Ye Lan, they could finally turn the tables on the Qin Family and perhaps be able to completely suppress their Vitality Replenishing Pills.

After all, the Qin Family's Vitality Replenishing Pills could only heal the injuries of the Body Tempering Cultivators. On the contrary, it will not have any effects on the Qi Gathering Cultivators.

As for why Elder Feng asked Ye Lan, he wanted to confirm whether the young man in front of him really did know how to concoct pills.

Perhaps he might even have extraordinary talent in the field of alchemy.

If he could get Ye Lan's confirmation, Elder Feng would definitely benifit greatly from learn even a few skills from the young man.

"Elder Feng, before I tell you anything, can you tell me if there are any Fire Lotus Herbs in the Medicine Pavilion?"

Ye Lan took the initiative and asked with a smile.

"The Fire Lotus Herb? That's quite rare to come by. Sadly, I don't have any of that in my Medicine Pavilion. However, this old man heard that it can be found in the Extreme Flame Land of Sky Peak Valley. But unfortunately, there's currently a Demonic Beast guarding it.

Elder Feng responded.

"Thank you for the information, Elder Feng."

Ye Lan cupped his fist and said goodbye.

"Huh? Ye Lan, this old man has already told you about the location of the Fire Lotus Herb. Shouldn't you tell me about the refinement process of the Congealing Essence Pill as promised?"

Seeing how Ye Lan was about to leave with Ye Yu, Elder Feng asked in an anxious tone.

"Oh, it's actually very simple. All you need to do is add in two pieces of Golden Thread Grass and a Moon Spring Fruit into the Congealing Essence Liquid."

Ye Lan's voice sounded from afar.

"I believe that the pill refining technique I wrote down on the table will also be of great help to you when refining the Congealing Essence Pill!"

Upon hearing his advice, Elder Feng shifted his gaze towards the seat where Ye Lan initially sat in.

Focusing his gaze on the table, he noticed a row of small yet elegant words carved onto the table.

Although he had never heard of such a pill refining technique, Elder Feng did not doubt his words at all. With that, he carried the table and ran back to his Medicine Pavilion like a wisp of smoke, preparing to study it thoroughly.
