Unrivaled Medicine God, page 1020
The apprentice brothers were all skeptical. Since Eldest Senior Brother came back from Raging Fire Tavern the last time, his mouth kept on praising this whatever Sunshine Glow with endless praises, as if he was bedeviled.
Seeing him always talk about it every day, these few people also could not help drooling.
Among the people in this Northernmost Steppe, there was none who did not like to drink.
Hearing that it was so delicious, how could they not be moved?
Except, those who had drunk before this Sunshine Glow at present was just Song Cao and Wu Song two people.
Whether it really tasted good or not, they were also not sure.
But they understood in their hearts that if it was really as Song Cao said, then as long as this wine was rolled out, it could absolutely sweep across the extreme north’s various territories.
“He’s here, he’s here! It’s this boy? So young!”
At this time, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd. A ridiculously young figure slowly walked onto the stage.
“This … This is also too young, right? Just like a little kid, he’s qualified to challenge Empyrean Loneswan?”
“Where did this kid pop out from? Simply blaspheming the idol in my heart!”
“Get down!”
… …
When the people saw that Ye Yuan was so young, they immediately exploded, having a feeling of being cheated.
So young, he probably had not even figured out what were medicinal pills and came to challenge Jiu Luo Ji’s Alchemy Dao number one person. Was this a joke?
With someone taking the lead to hoot, many people also shouted along, asking Ye Yuan to get down.
Ye Yuan had an indifferent look as if he could not hear anything.
After a while, these guys would naturally shut up.
When Luo Yu saw that Ye Yuan was so young, he was also stunned and said disdainfully, “Heh, really a fool who overestimates his own ability. So young and he actually dares to challenge Master too, truly ignorant!”
But Song Cao said in a solemn voice, “I don’t know how’s his pill refinement, but his fire controlling technique is truly transcendent! If this wasn’t the case, why would I make Master take action? I would have suppressed him myself!”
Luo Yu was surprised when he heard that and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, you really lost to him in a fire battle?”
Song Cao’s expression was slightly dark as he nodded his head.
Luo Yu did not quite dare to believe it. He was naturally aware of Song Cao’s fire controlling technique. Even he was a million miles away compared to Song Cao’s skill.
But such a formidable eldest senior brother actually lost to this kid. Could it be that he was really an alchemy genius?
Right at this time, a powerful aura descended from the sky.
“Empyrean Loneswan is here!”
“All thanks to this brat that I can see Empyrean Loneswan’s true face!”
“Lord Loneswan, teach this punk a good lesson!”
… …
There was cheering in the crowd.
Empyrean Loneswan was a godlike existence in their hearts.
In this Northernmost Steppe, a Seven-star Alchemy God was the sun in the sky, illuminating the world.
A brat like Ye Yuan rushing into challenging Empyrean Loneswan was blaspheming the idol in their hearts.
An old man in azure robes slowly stepped out of the void. His gaze swept all around, his awe displayed in its entirety.
“Disciple pays respect to Master!” Song Cao brought the group of apprentice brothers and directly knelt down.
Empyrean Loneswan nodded slightly, his gaze finally landing on Ye Yuan. He could not help being slightly surprised.
Ye Yuan’s youth still far exceeded his expectations.
“You’re the Ji Qingyun who wants to challenge this Empyrean?” Empyrean Loneswan’s gaze was scorching as he said.
The moment he came up, he applied tremendous pressure on Ye Yuan.
Except, Ye Yuan was composed and collected in front of this pressure, and even had signs of being able to stand up to it as an equal.
When Empyrean Loneswan saw the situation, he could not help being surprised in his heart.
How could he know that even when Ye Yuan was facing Empyrean Pilljade, that level of horrifying existence, his aura was also not the slightest bit weak?
His bit of pressure was too much of a child’s play and even had some suspicion of showing off in the presence of an expert.
“It’s precisely this Ji!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Empyrean Loneswan deliberately pretended to be magnanimous as he said, “Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! To dare come and challenge this Empyrean at a young age, your courage is commendable! Rest assured, this Empyrean won’t be bullying the weak by being strong. In a while, when this Empyrean takes action, I’ll definitely pay attention to the proper limits. Uh … you pick the medicinal pill then.”
This battle was simply a piece of cake to him.
It was just that his acting was the demeanor of a grandmaster in the view of those people below. He was tolerant and open-minded.
“Indeed well-deserving of being Empyrean Loneswan! Toward a young man’s affront, he’s actually not angry at all and even has the intention of guiding him.”
“Heh, you look at that kid! His proud appearance really pisses people off!”
… …
Actually, how was there any pride? Ye Yuan just had a calm expression, that was all.
It was just that in the view of these people, when Ye Yuan saw a powerhouse like Empyrean Loneswan, he should be reverent and respectful, trembling with fear and trepidation, akin to treading on thin ice.
Only that way would it be apt for Ye Yuan’s status.
Ye Yuan gave Empyrean Loneswan a glance and said with a strange expression, “Really want me to pick?”
Empyrean Loneswan could not help laughing as he said, “This Empyrean is a Seven-star Alchemy God. Battling in alchemy with you, a junior, could it be still let this Empyrean pick?”
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said indifferently, “In that case … Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill then.”
Empyrean Loneswan’s gaze turned sharp, almost choking to death.
This Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill was one of the medicinal pills with the greatest difficulty among rank six divine pills.
Even refining it with his current strength, the success rate was also not high.
Furthermore, even if it succeeded, the grade would not be too high either.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he did not know what he should say.
Say that he could refine?
What to do if he screwed it up?
Saying that he could not refine?
Did he have shame or not?!
“Junior, you’re deliberately here to mess with this Empyrean, right? This medicinal pill, you probably can’t even learn the rudiments, right?” Empyrean Loneswan said with a dark expression.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, “Looks like you don’t have much confidence in refining the Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill. Then why not … the Amethyst Instant Pill then.”
Empyrean Loneswan nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Don’t dig up people’s dirt like this!
Furthermore … it was another level nine medicinal pill!
He was already very sure that this kid was definitely here to mess with him.
Could he have been … sent by those few fellows?
Chapter 2074. Distinguished Guest |
“The Amethyst Instant Pill doesn’t work too?”
Ye Yuan shook his head with a disappointed look. He already lowered the benchmark by a lot, but this Empyrean Loneswan’s strength somewhat disappointed him.
Looking at the other party’s appearance, he reckoned that being able to reach the middle-stage Dao Realm was already very impressive.
Most likely, he was still lingering around the initial-stage Dao Realm.
“Uh … then let’s lower the difficulty a bit, Earth Nether Imprint Pill then.”
Ye Yuan talked to himself. Empyrean Loneswan’s face opposite turned green.
This guy was absolutely here to nauseate him.
“Humph! Earth Nether Imprint Pill then! This Empyrean wants to see if you really have that much capability, to be able to refine a level nine medicinal pill,” Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold snort.
Although this Earth Nether Imprint Pill was a level nine medicinal pill, he still had some confidence. Basically, refining middle-grade or even high-grade was not too big of a problem.
Below the stage, the faces of Song Cao and the rest were similarly ugly.
The rank six medicinal pills that Ye Yuan said, forget about refining them, they could not even learn the rudiments of them.
Their master could naturally refine them, but the success rate was not high either.
It was not that they doubted Master’s strength, but that these medicinal pills were seriously too difficult to refine.
But in the view of other martial artists, they were somewhat surprised.
Empyrean Loneswan … yielded to Ye Yuan?
Ye Yuan said three kinds of medicinal pills, but he chose the final medicinal pill. Clearly, he did not have much confidence in the other two.
“Humph! Ignorant fool! To refine level nine medicinal pills, one needs to at least enter the Dao Realm before one has the chance to refine those pills successfully. He’s so young, so could it be that he can be a Dao Realm powerhouse?” Song Cao said with a cold smile.
“Humph, so what even if he’s a Dao Realm powerhouse? Our master is already peak initial-stage Dao Realm. Coupled with the disparity in cultivation realm and soul force, could he still lose to him?” Luo Yu said with a disdainful look.
Amidst the questioning voices, the two people started the alchemy battle.
The moment Empyrean Loneswan’s aura released, everyone burst into an uproar.
These martial artists had never seen a Seven-star Alchemy God take action before. The moment he made his move at this time, it was God knows how many times stronger than the likes of SonG Cao.
To these martial artists, it was incredibly astonishing!
“This is the strength of a Seven-star Alchemy God! Even level nine medicinal pills are also a piece of cake to Lord Loneswan, right?”
“That kid actually wants to challenge such an existence, is his head okay?”
“Heh, in my view, this kid is deliberately here to nauseate people. At his age, knowing some superficial knowledge is already pretty good.”
… …
The moment Empyrean Loneswan made his move, it gave people an extremely breathtaking feeling.
It was as if what everyone saw in the past were all ugly girls. Now, suddenly seeing a top-grade beauty, it drove people crazy.
There was a wave of cheering voices below the stage, cries of exclamations, as well as disdainful voices toward Ye Yuan.
Ning Tianping could not resist rolling his eyes and said speechlessly, “Truly a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world before. This bit of strength can let them cheer until like this.”
Song Cao was standing right beside him. Hearing that, he said in a great rage, “This bit of strength? That brat probably doesn’t know how to refine pills at all, right? You look, he hasn’t even started until now!”
Ning Tianping laughed in spite of himself and said, “My lord is being kind-hearted and is giving your master a chance to perform. The moment he makes his move, your master will be crushed until he could be badly mauled all over!”
Song Cao smiled coldly and said, “Being razor-tongued can’t change the outcome too! You guys had best be prepared to hand over the Sunshine Glow’s recipe.”
Ye Yuan stood on the stage, his gaze brimming with a look of disappointment.
Empyrean Loneswan’s bit of strength could not even compare to the weakest Empyrean in the Cloudpill Summit!
“Open!”
Ye Yuan gave a low cry, reached his hand out, and beckoned. The medicinal pills were all taken into the medicinal cauldron.
Immediately after, a vast surging aura burst out of his body.
Everyone’s cheers abruptly ceased!
Under Ye Yuan’s aura, Empyrean Loneswan’s alchemy aura was like a baby; weak to the extreme.
Empyrean Loneswan’s expression changed wildly, the seals formed in his hands could not help but to stop.
It was only to hear a puff. A burnt smell came out of the medicinal cauldron. The materials inside were directly being refined into a ruined pill.
It was very taxing for him to refine level nine medicinal pills to begin with, so how could he withstand Ye Yuan’s heavy pressure?
To him, Ye Yuan’s aura was like Mount Tai crushing down on top of him; he did not have the slightest strength to resist at all.
A shock to the extreme expressions appeared on Empyrean Loneswan’s face.
However, he did not fly into a great rage but was attracted by Ye Yuan’s pill refinement very soon.
Not just him, his disciples were also drawn by Ye Yuan’s bedazzling pill refinement.
In a place like the Northernmost Steppe, encountering such earth-shaking alchemy skill was undoubtedly like a good rain after a long drought to them.
Ye Yuan’s every move and action had a tremendous sense of beauty, possessing unusually deep Dao accumulations.
In their eyes, Ye Yuan was not refining pills but manipulating the Great Dao!
This kind of alchemy skill had simply reached the acme of perfection; inconceivable!
Amidst everyone’s cries of exclamations, Ye Yuan successfully condensed the pill.
Only after a long time did Empyrean Loneswan awaken from the shock. Then, amidst everyone’s shocked gazes, he bowed in salute toward Ye Yuan and said, “Master Ji’s alchemy cultivation is unrivaled, Loneswan admires greatly!”
“This … Lord Loneswan, an exalted Empyrean, actually paid such solemn respects to a True God Realm boy?”
“Shocking! Too shocking! I originally thought that Lord Loneswan’s alchemy cultivation already reached the acme of perfection. Who knew that Master Ji’s alchemy strength is more than a hundred times stronger than Lord Loneswan!”
… …
In Skyreturn Plaza, astonished voices rose and ebbed like waves.
A dignified Seven-star Alchemy God actually carried out the etiquette of a disciple to a Six-star Alchemy God. How could it not make people marvel?
These martial artists were not versed in alchemy and did not understand the disparity between Empyrean Loneswan and Ye Yuan.
But as an alchemist, Empyrean Loneswan understood that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was too big!
People should not look at how he was a Seven-star Alchemy God. The rank seven divine pills that he could refine were very limited.
When rank seven divine pills reached level three difficulty and above, one could not refine them at all if their realm was lacking.
Hence, when he saw that Ye Yuan had such strength, he was immediately shocked beyond words.
As for Song Cao and the rest, they had long turned to stone on the spot.
Their godlike master was actually defeated just like this?
How could this brat-like young man have such terrifying alchemy strength?
“This … Loneswan has many questions on alchemy. I wonder if Master Ji has spare time to give Loneswan a pointer or two?” Empyrean Loneswan asked carefully.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “The Northernmost Steppe’s Alchemy Dao is behind the times. Coming here, this Ji will just take it as giving you a fortuitous encounter.”
The moment Empyrean Loneswan heard, he could not help being overjoyed.
If there were no accidents, his accomplishments in alchemy would just be like that for life.
But if there was someone giving guidance, especially the guidance of a master like Ye Yuan, that would be totally different.
“Many thanks, Master Ji, for showing pity! Loneswan can’t repay it even with ten thousand deaths!” Loneswan was incredibly agitated and gave another respectful bow toward Ye Yuan.
Finished saying, he straightened his back and immediately recovered his Empyrean’s majesty as he said in a clear voice, “From today onward, Master Ji is this Empyrean’s distinguished guest. If anyone dares to offend Master Ji, it’s setting yourself against this Empyrean!”
Chapter 2075. Sweeping Through Jiu Luo |
Several days later, a piece of extremely explosive news spread throughout the entire Jiu Luo Ji.
Empyrean Loneswan acknowledged Ji Qingyun as his master and paid respects to the latter as a disciple!
This news was akin to a heavyweight bombshell, stirring up titanic waves in Jiu Luo Ji.
“Did I hear wrongly? No matter how powerful that Ji Qingyun is, he’s also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. Does Lord Loneswan have this need?”
“Truly inconceivable! A Seven-star Alchemy God actually acknowledged a Six-star Alchemy God as a master. I’ve lived for tens of thousands of years, but it’s still my first time hearing of such a thing.”
“Just what kind of god is Ji Qingyun, to actually be able to bring Lord Loneswan into submission?”
… …
The entire Jiu Luo Ji blew up. Everyone was discussing this matter frenziedly.
Everyone was filled with curiosity toward this Ji Qingyun that popped out from no idea where.
Empyrean Loneswan had always been a godlike figure in Jiu Luo Ji all along.
Even Empyrean powerhouses also showed extra reverence to him and did not dare to offend in the slightest.
But now, this kind of godlike existence actually acknowledged a thousand over years old youth as his master. It was simply too astonishing.
But very soon, another explosive news came over. Grand Pill Establishment rolled out a new kind of wine. The name of the wine was Sunshine Glow.
Grand Pill Establishment was recruiting nine sales representatives. Once the news came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in the entire Jiu Luo Ji.
