Unrivaled Medicine God, page 110
It was too extravagant!
Therefore, when this disciple on duty first laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he determined that he could not afford to use cultivation rooms above C-grade!
Cultivation rooms were all supported by Spirit Gathering Formations. The richness of essence energy was much greater than the outside world.
The weakest D-grade cultivation room was twice of the outside world. C-grade was thrice, B-grade was six times, while A-grade was 10 times!
In terms of price, A-grade cultivation rooms were 20 times of D-grade rooms, but the effect was only 10 times. Logically speaking, D-grade cultivation rooms were more worth it.
But for martial artists, the price was not calculated like this.
What they pursued was speed!
10 times the cultivation speed could save far too much time!
Once a martial artist's age reach a certain level, and their potential was exhausted, then no matter how much they strived, it would also be of no avail.
To martial artists, time was cultivation. Time was power. Time was status!
Towards such discrimination, Ye Yuan had long grown accustomed to it and was disinclined to fuss over it. He directly swiped his identity token on the red-colored light column five times.
The light columns were divided into red, orange, yellow and green, these four colors. They represented A, B, C, D, the four types of cultivation rooms respectively.
This swiping from Ye Yuan directly deducted 1000 points. He returned back to an era of extreme poverty.
Ye Yuan's actions stunned that disciple on duty in his place. This was the first time he had witnessed such a nouveau riche outer-sect disciple.
"I want to use five days of A-grade cultivation room. Senior Apprentice Brother, please arrange for it."
That disciple on duty was dazed for some time before coming around and said, "Uh, just right. There's one last A-grade cultivation room left. This is the secret key to the cultivation room."
This time, it was Ye Yuan's turn to be stunned. He did not think that the A-grade cultivation rooms were so popular. There was actually only one left.
Didn't people say that points were very precious? Why were there so many rich people?
However, Ye Yuan was not in the mood to be concerned about it. He took over the secret key and was about to enter to cultivate.
Right then, a burly man barged inside with much haste and said to the disciple on duty, "I want an A-grade cultivation room, 10 days!"
The disciple on duty looked at Ye Yuan and looked at the burly man before saying awkwardly, "Se-Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, sorry about this, but the last A-grade cultivation room has already been rented by this Junior Apprentice Brother."
The burly man brass bell-like eyes went wide open, and he said angrily, "En? What did you say?"
The disciple on duty jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, n-none of my business. This Junior Apprentice Brother arrived a little before you and already charged his points. According to the rules . . ."
"What rules?! This Father of yours makes the rules! What the hell is he, a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, using the A-grade cultivation room for? Hey, boy, give me the secret key; I'll pass you the points you spent!" Senior Apprentice Brother Dao bellowed at Ye Yuan. It did not sound like a discussing tone no matter how one listened to it.
"This Junior Apprentice Brother is a newcomer, right? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai Zichen is one of the hottest rising star in the Pill Barracks. Give him the place. Befriending him will bring huge benefits to you in the future!" The disciple on duty also tried to chime in.
Dai Zichen was also delighted when he heard that and said with a smile, "Haha , what he said is right. Boy, give the place to me! In future, if you have any problems, come directly to the Pill Barracks to find me. I'll cover you!"
Ye Yuan originally could not be bothered to deal with this Senior Apprentice Brother Dao. But seeing that he was so arrogant, he smiled and said, "Fine. 2000 points and I'll sell it to you."
"What did you say? 2000 points? Why don't you go and rob!" Dai Zichen froze before becoming enraged.
This change of hands directly doubled the points. Wasn't this messing with him?
"Not buying? If you're not buying, then I'm going in to cultivate already." Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around straight away and prepared to head for the cultivation room.
"Halt! I'm telling you to halt!"
Ye Yuan ignored him and continued walking there.
Dai Zichen was infuriated. With a flash, he grabbed at Ye Yuan.
"Heh heh, this boy still doesn't know Senior Apprentice Brother Dai's prowess yet, right? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai is not only amazing at alchemy, but he's also extremely powerful in the Martial Path; one of the few alchemy and martial dual prodigies in the sect! A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm dare to be disrespectful to Senior Apprentice Brother Dai. Isn't this courting death?" The disciple on duty took delight in others' misfortune secretly.
Dai Zichen's figure was clearly very burly, but the movements when he made his move was extremely nimble. In a blink of an eye, he reached Ye Yuan's back.
But right then, the view in front of Dai Zichen blurred. Nine Ye Yuans appeared in front of his eyes instantly.
This grab actually missed!
Being taken by surprise, Dai Zichen staggered and nearly tumbled to the ground.
By the time he stabilized his body and wanted to look for Ye Yuan again, Ye Yuan already disappeared.
"Uh . . . Where's that punk?" Dai Zichen asked the disciple on duty rather bewilderedly.
The expression on the disciple on duty was very interesting. He was very excited about seeing Ye Yuan make a fool of himself, but in the end, it was Dai Zichen who was played by Ye Yuan. That excited expression directly froze in place.
Dai Zichen was Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. He actually failed to catch a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?
How was this possible?
Hearing Dai Zichen posed a question, the disciple on duty abruptly woke up and stuttered, "He already went in."
Four eyes met and remained silent for a long time.
"Hey, what's that kid's background? A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually have such strength?" Dai Zichen enquired curiously.
"Uh, let me check."
Ye Yuan swiped his identity token, so his information was naturally also recorded by the light column. The disciple on duty could easily find it.
The disciple on duty inserted his soul force into the red colored light column and started to search for Ye Yuan's information.
"Ye Yuan, age 15, Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, status . . ."
The disciple on duty read out as he retrieved the information, but paused at the end.
"What about the status? Say it!" Dai Zichen asked anxiously by the side.
The disciple on duty stared at Dai Zichen and said somewhat uncertainly, "Status is Martial Hall's Earth Barracks' disciple! Uh . . . Could it be that the identity token has an error? How can a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm be an Earth Barracks disciple?"
Dai Zichen's eyes rolled, and he said with a chuckle, "How can it be wrong? If he's not an Earth Barracks student, how could he possibly evade this grab of mine?"
Chapter 221. Ye Yuan Is Under My Protection! |
"But even if a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm were very heaven-defying, being in the Human Barracks was already at the limits, right? Isn't being in the Earth Barracks too exaggerated?" The disciple on duty still did not dare to quite believe it.
"What the hell do you know?! Heh heh, looks like a very interesting fellow has arrived at the Martial Hall. I want 10 days of A-grade cultivation room. Once a room is available, notify me."
Finishing, Dai Zichen directly swiped 2000 points on the red-colored light column.
Although A-grade cultivation rooms were expensive, because there were few in number, it would frequently be in a saturated state. This swipe from Dai Zichen was equivalent to waiting in the queue.
Dai Zichen was just about to wait in the rest area when five disciples entered the door all at once.
"I want B-grade cultivation room, 10 days!" The person at the front said to the disciple on duty.
"Me too, 10 days!"
"Also me!"
"D*mn, I also want 10 days! Even if Your Father spends finish all the points, I won't give these points Ye Yuan, that stinking brat either!"
"That's right! After Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng returns, we'll definitely give that stinking brat a good one!"
These few people were Ceng Yu and his gang who were beaten up mercilessly by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan made them report to hand over points every day. This was seriously wretched. Ignoring that it was humiliating, they even had to hand over their hard-earned points with both hands.
The few people put their heads together and thought of a plan, which was to hide in the cultivation rooms.
The cultivation rooms forbid other people from disturbing. No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he also would not dare to enter the cultivation rooms to drag them out, right?
Ceng Yu's elder brother, Ceng Cheng was going to return very soon. As long as they endured until he came back, would they need to be scared of one Ye Yuan?
Dai Zichen was originally disinclined to bother with these people. When he suddenly heard Ye Yuan's name, he could not help becoming curious.
Could it be that the Ye Yuan in their conversation was the same person as that boy he encountered just now?
"Hey, you people. Who is this Ye Yuan you guys were just talking about?" Dai Zichen asked right in their faces.
"Ah, so it's Senior Apprentice Brother Dai! I pay respects to Senior Apprentice Brother Dai. Last time, I even heard from Big Brother that Senior Apprentice Brother Dai is an alchemy and martial dual prodigy. Even he admires very much."
Ceng Yu clearly recognized Dai Zichen. The Pill Hall disciples were all in great demand. In order to get closer to him, Ceng Yu even pulled out Ceng Cheng.
Dai Zichen waved his hands in irritation and said, "Answer my question!"
Recalling Ye Yuan, the expression on Ceng Yu's face instantly became embarrassed.
"Ha . . . Haha, he's just a mere nobody. How is it worth Senior Apprentice Brother Dai's attention?" Ceng Yu gave a chuckle and tried to smoke things over.
"A nobody? What's with the injury on your face?" How can Dai Zichen be so easy to hoodwink? Seeing the expression on Ceng Yu's face, he knew that there must have been some unpleasant incident that happened between them.
Furthermore, these few people were clearly injured. It was evident that they were the ones who suffered a loss.
"This . . . This . . ." Ceng Yu stammered and could not speak.
Dai Zichen's face darkened as he said, "I am asking you again; is this Ye Yuan from your conversation is the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who had just entered the sect?"
"Ah? Yes! Could it be . . . that Senior Apprentice Brother Dai has met him before?" Ceng Yu did not know how Dai Zichen knew Ye Yuan.
Dai Zichen nodded and said, "Not only did we meet, we even exchanged blows!"
"Exchanged blows?" Ceng Yu was stunned when he heard it at first and immediately be overjoyed as he said, "Haha, that punk is really unbridled, to actually dare provoke Senior Apprentice Brother Dai! He must have been had the crap beaten out of him by Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, right?"
Dai Zichen snickered and said, "Nothing like that. I failed!"
"Wha-What? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai attacked and actually failed? This . . . How's this possible?" Disbelief was written all over Ceng Yu's face.
"Enough crap! Failed means failed! Don't tell me I'll even deceive you? Hearing your intentions just now, are you planning on making Ceng Cheng find him to settle the scores?" Dai Zichen asked threateningly.
"Ah . . . Ahh?" Ceng Yu's brain could not quite process it.
Didn't Dai Zichen say that he exchanged blows with Ye Yuan earlier? Why was he protecting him now?
This was all rather baffling!
"Ah? What ah? I asked if you heard me?" Dai Zichen said with a glare.
"H-Heard it! We . . . We won't find any trouble with him!" Ceng Yu said weakly.
Speaking of which, Ceng Cheng's strength was around the same as Dai Zichen. But he could not compete because he was a Pill Hall disciple!
Pill Hall core disciples, which one of them were not flourishing with each passing day? Not for anything else, but because they could affect the Martial Hall disciples' monthly salary!
The so-called monthly salary was the medicinal pills that disciples collect from the sect every month. It was given away for free by the sect for disciples' cultivation use.
However, these medicinal pills were only the most basic medicinal pills. Furthermore, there wasn't much of it.
If they wanted to use better medicinal pills, they still needed to use points to exchange.
But which martial artist would mind having more medicinal pills for cultivation purposes?
This was also the reason why Pill Hall disciples were arrogant!
"If you heard it, then good. Now, scram inside and cultivate! If you let me find out that you dare to cause trouble behind the scenes, you know the consequences!" Dai Zichen returned to the rest area.
Ceng Yu and co exchanged glances. The originally unbridled arrogance instantly vanished with a trace.
They were still hoping to regain face after Ceng Cheng returns, but now . . .
Ignoring all other things, Ceng Cheng definitely would not offend Dai Zichen just for a Ye Yuan!
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan did not know that the burly man just now actually helped him block a wave of trouble. Of course, even if he knew, it did not matter.
After entering the cultivation room, Ye Yuan directly started to impact the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
After experiencing several major battles, Ye Yuan's realm was also incomparably solid. It was just that he always did not have time to breakthrough.
Presently, Ye Yuan just lightly prodded and broke through this layer of window paper straight away.
A wild essence energy tempest formed inside the cultivation room. After being refined via the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, it finally formed nine spirit liquid drops inside Ye Yuan's Dantian!
The Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan currently already possessed 27 spirit liquid drops inside his Dantian!
While the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Long Tang currently only had 25 spirit liquid drops!
Following the rise in realm, the gap between Ye Yuan and other Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists would become increasingly greater!
"Hmm, this Spirit Gathering Formation is pretty good. It can actually withstand my consumption. These 1000 points were not wasted." Ye Yuan who had a breakthrough in cultivation realm was rather pleased with this A-grade cultivation room.
The heaven and earth essence energy he expended when breaking through realms was more than double of the average person. Yet, this spirit gathering formation could provide essence energy unceasingly. These 1000 points were naturally well-spent.
Of course, even if it was not worth it, he did not feel any heartache either. It was given by other people anyway, no big deal.
Just like that, Ye Yuan spent an entire day to consolidate the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
The second day, he took out a medicinal pill from the storage ring and directly swallowed it into his abdomen.
This was the transcendent-grade Essence Spirit Pill that Ye Yuan refined before coming to the sect. He planned on breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in one go!
Chapter 222. Sect Decree |
While Ye Yuan was in retreat, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Nanfeng Zhirou, and Long Tang came together as a group.
They were originally thinking of inviting Ye Yuan to take a look at the Support Star Pavilion together to see if there were any ways to get points as soon as possible. But they heard from Lu-er that Ye Yuan went into a closed-seclusion. The trio could not help being dumbfounded.
After clarifying the whereabouts of where Ye Yuan's points came from, the few people exchanged glances again.
"Hehe, this fellow's cultivation realm is too deceptive. He doesn't even need to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. Just standing there and there are people giving points." Nanfeng Zhirou was the first one who could not resist laughing.
Hearing Nanfeng Zhirou's words, the group also could not hold back their laughter.
What she said was right. Ye Yuan's Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength was indeed too deceptive. His true strength far surpassed this.
"Since Ye Yuan was in such a rush to enter a retreat, looks like his realm had reached a bottleneck long ago. After he exits seclusion, he'll probably have broken through to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm already," Long Tang said.
"En. With Ye Yuan's cultivation speed, he should have indeed broken through long ago," Nanfeng Ruoqing said in agreement.
"Since that's the case, we don't have the need to stay anymore. Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng, let's go down to the Support Star Pavilion." Long Tang also changed his form of address to Nanfeng.
"En, alright." Nanfeng Ruoqing naturally did not have any objections.
Right then, a voice sounded out from outside.
"Is Junior Apprentice Brother Ye present? I'm Mo Yuntian."
Lu-er opened the door and invited Mo Yuntian in, saying, "How are you, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo? Young Master went to the cultivation room to undergo a retreat. He said it will probably take five days."
Mo Yuntian was also speechless when he heard that. "Went to the cultivation rooms? Haha, that's really diligent. But him going to the cultivation rooms now isn't appropriate, right? With his talent, going to the D-grade cultivation rooms is a waste of time!"
Lu-er smiled and recounted the incident that happened yesterday once more to Mo Yuntian.
