Chapter 749: 0750 Puzzles and Requests! (4th Update)

After coming out of the retreat, Ye Qiu found Elder Mu and asked about the Rule Power.

Elder Mu, looking at Ye Qiu whose strength had already reached the peak of the legendary realm, felt very gratified, for Ye Qiu had grown even faster than he had imagined.

"Is your realm stabilized?" asked Elder Mu.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Although I have made breakthroughs rapidly, during the retreat, I reenacted all the scenes of my fight with the men in black, rectified all my shortcomings, and now my realm is as stable as a rock."

Elder Mu was satisfied, knowing everything Ye Qiu had been through since he came out of the Great Emperor’s tomb. There were several crises where Ye Qiu was dangerously close to death, and Elder Mu could hardly refrain from intervening, but Ye Qiu always managed to miraculously survive in a spectacular manner.

He saw the hope for the Du Gu clan’s vengeance in Ye Qiu, and now, Ye Qiu was even capable of killing warriors of the mythological realm while in the legendary realm, breaking the ancient records of the land.

With just one more step, Ye Qiu would become a mythological pillar, and he wouldn’t need his protection anymore.

"Elder Mu, regarding Rule Power, I have many unanswered questions. Please enlighten me," Ye Qiu expressed the challenging problems in his mind.

Elder Mu smiled and said, "Young master, you are already studying Rule Power at the legendary realm. Do you realize that it is normally only harnessed at the mythological realm?"

"I understand, but my use of the Ice Rule is superficial; I want to learn more about Rule Power from Elder Mu."

"Exhibit the Ice Rule that you have mastered, so I can see," Elder Mu said seriously.

Ye Qiu immediately demonstrated the Ice Rule.

After a thorough demonstration, Elder Mu said, "Alright, you can stop now. Rule Power is a force that can only be touched in the mythological realm. Young master, it’s rare for someone to grasp it ahead of time, but it’s not necessarily a good thing, because you are not truly in the mythological realm, and can’t completely understand the deeper levels of Rule Power. However, being able to use it to this extent is quite remarkable, and with just this alone, you should be invincible within your realm."

Listening to Elder Mu’s praise, Ye Qiu did not become complacent. Although he had achieved this, it was thanks to the residual effects, but it did not mean others couldn’t achieve it too.

There are people beyond people, skies beyond skies; Ye Qiu never overestimated himself.

"Since you’re interested in Rule Power, I’ll explain it to you," said Elder Mu, seeing that Ye Qiu was paying attention to him, and began explaining Rule Power.

Rule Power is profound and arcane, but through certain phenomena, it can be sensed and observed.

For example, the Ice Rule.

It involves water freezing, thus, in the process of water turning into ice, Rule Power is at work.

Actually, by studying the Ice Rule one can glimpse the Water Rule. Ice is just one form of water. If you can master the Water Rule, that represents a powerful Rule Power.

Because water is both tangible and intangible; it definitely exists, yet never has a fixed form, and changes according to the surroundings.

As rain, as vapor, as mist, as frost...

The root of all these is the Water Rule. Mastering the Vapor Rule, or the Mist Rule, is actually just mastering a version of the Water Rule.

...

Elder Mu’s explanation opened a new perspective for Ye Qiu, as if a new world was unveiled, showing him a beautiful view within.

Having his doubts clarified and gaining more knowledge about Rule Power, Ye Qiu then stopped bothering Elder Mu. Before leaving, he left a bottle of pills.

Elder Mu, aware of Ye Qiu’s alchemy, was pleasantly surprised that Ye Qiu had become an Alchemist.

"Thinking of combining the paths of pills and martial arts... My young master, his future achievements are likely to far surpass mine. The glory of the Du Gu clan will soon reappear in this ancient land!" Elder Mu said excitedly.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Ye Qiu saw Jin Shanshun practicing punch exercises, and was surprised by the much stronger aura he emitted than before.

"Brother Ye, how about we exchange a few moves?"

"Sure."

"However, you can only use the power of the mid-legendary realm."

"No problem." Ye Qiu also wanted to see how much Jin Shanshun’s strength had increased.

Jin Shanshun’s eyes brightened, and the two immediately started sparring in the courtyard.

Jin Shanshun was quite confident in his strength. These days, under Master Mo’s guidance, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. He believed that even if he wasn’t as good as Ye Qiu, the difference shouldn’t be too much.

However, this thought was quickly dismissed by him. Jin Shanshun exerted his full strength, yet he couldn’t even hurt Ye Qiu at all. Most infuriating was that Ye Qiu just stood there allowing him to strike, and he couldn’t even move him.

Jin Shanshun was deeply hurt and muttered under his breath that Ye Qiu was a freak, with such strong defensive power, making it impossible for others in the legendary realm to live.

"Brother Ye, how come your body is so robust? Can I achieve that too?"

"Of course you can. Just get struck by lightning continuously for ten to fifteen days, and your body will definitely become as strong as mine!"

"..." Jin Shanshun’s face was lined with frustration.

After leaving seclusion, Ye Qiu sometimes pondered the power of rules, continuously honing his own realm, and occasionally sparring with Jin Shanshun, who always lost. He finally realized how much courage was needed to spar with Ye Qiu. Ordinary legendary beings only got beaten by Ye Qiu, who only used thirty to forty percent of his strength.

Jin Shanshun was deeply hurt. Day and night he trained hard, continuing to spar with Ye Qiu during the day, but the outcome remained the same; he still lost.

Jin Shanshun was a stubborn person, indomitable. Although his strength couldn’t compare with Ye Qiu’s, the improvement in his strength was evident to all observers.

According to Ye Qiu’s estimation, with Jin Shanshun’s current strength, he was fully capable of challenging the descendants of the three ancient clans.

Even more, Ye Qiu had imparted to Jin Shanshun the Boundless Lotus Method he had taken from Mu Canshou.

Jin Shanshun also worked hard, mastering it in just a few days. Lotuses exploded one after another in the courtyard, their power in no way inferior to the energy bullets he produced.

While Ye Qiu stayed in the courtyard every day, not venturing out of the main gate, no one came to trouble them anymore, as if acknowledging his presence.

With Old Mo around, Ye Qiu wasn’t too worried. He was now wholly focused on breaking through to the mythic realm.

Just then, someone from Yun Shang Palace arrived, requesting Ye Qiu to visit the Yun Shang Palace Auction House.

Upon entering the VIP room, Shopkeeper Yun had been waiting in the room early and stood up with a smile upon seeing Ye Qiu, "Pill Master Ye."

"Shopkeeper Yun, it’s been a while." Ye Qiu returned the greeting. Since the Wu Yang venerable had left, he hadn’t been to Yun Shang Palace for over half a month. However, Shopkeeper Yun’s address as "Pill Master Ye" made Ye Qiu realize that Shopkeeper Yun’s attitude towards him had become much more respectful.

"May I know why Shopkeeper Yun has summoned me?" Ye Qiu quickly said, not one to beat around the bush.

"No hurry, no hurry, sit down and we’ll talk slowly," Shopkeeper Yun said with a smile, pulling Ye Qiu to sit down.

"I heard, Pill Master Ye, that you recently created a holy-grade medicinal pill. Congratulations," Shopkeeper Yun flattered.

Ye Qiu felt a chill inside but kept his composure and smiled, "It was luck, purely luck."

"Luck is also a part of strength, isn’t it? Pill Master Ye, your future is undoubtedly going to be brilliant, even illuminating the entire ancient land," Shopkeeper Yun said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Shopkeeper Yun. Without the herbs you provide, I couldn’t have produced many pills. I will still rely heavily on you in the future," Ye Qiu returned the compliment.

"Haha..." Shopkeeper Yun laughed heartily, his expression becoming a bit serious, "Ahem... Pill Master Ye, I would like to request your help in concocting a medicinal pill, and the reward will surely satisfy you."

"What kind of pill?"

"A holy-grade..."

Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback.
