Unrivaled Medicine God, page 194
Ye Yuan lightly caressed White Light. Taking in a deep breath, he said to Seventh Prince, "Seventh Prince, right? Very good. I've remembered this!"
Ye Yuan and White Light were together day and night. He had long treated him as an indispensable part of his own life already.
To talk about feelings, his feelings towards White Light was even deeper compared to Mo Yuntian and the rest!
Seventh Prince actually beat White Light to such a manner. This was something that Ye Yuan could not accept. Hence . . . he had to suffer Ye Yuan's wrath!
This Seventh Prince was indeed well-deserving of being the number one expert among the capital's junior generation. His strength was truly peerlessly powerful!
Although his realm was similar to Lan Bao's, his true combat power was not even on the same level as Lan Bao.
This Seventh Prince similarly comprehended true intent!
Hence, that one exchange earlier, Ye Yuan could not fully evade Seventh Prince's attack and sustained considerable internal injuries.
Under the situation where his movement technique could not gain any advantage, Ye Yuan's realm became his greatest shortfall. There was a full major realm disparity between the two of them!
Ye Yuan just sustaining injuries was already the best outcome.
Seventh Prince who had always feared neither heaven nor earth actually could not help shuddering when he saw Ye Yuan's ice cold eyes.
En? What's going on? I . . . actually feel fear? How is that possible? Seventh Prince could not quite believe it in his heart.
"Heh heh, still want to take revenge? That will also have to see if you have that opportunity!" Seven Prince grinned hideously.
This Seventh Prince was decisive in killing, taking action when he said so and completely did not say a word of rubbish!
His voice had yet to fade when his person already arrived in front of Ye Yuan. His movement technique was swift to the extreme!
Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and displayed his movement technique. At the same time, he condensed out a small handful of Thousand Flowing Petals to block in front of him.
Bang!
Even so, Ye Yuan was still sent flying out.
Seventh Prince's speed was too fast. Ye Yuan simply could not dodge in time!
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan vomited blood again. But he adamantly safeguarded White Light in his bosom and did not let him sustain a single bit of shock.
White Light's injuries were already very severe. If he received damage again, he would die.
If this were not the case, Ye Yuan would not clash head-on with Seventh Price either.
"Enough, Your Highness, Seventh Prince!" Shangguan Lingxue admonished.
Seventh Prince said flatly, "Lingxue, you should know my temperament. I absolutely won't permit anyone or anything that threatens my existence! This boy is rather abnormal. If I let him grow unchecked, he might really be able to threaten me! Therefore, he must die today!"
As he said, Seventh Prince placed his hands together. An extremely powerful essence energy undulation spread out!
Chapter 397. Scram! |
Seventh Prince's personality was extremely overbearing. He probably only maintained his friendliness and smiles in front of Shangguan Lingxue.
Towards some latent threats, Seventh Prince had always exterminated them while they were still in their budding state!
Ye Yuan was actually able to evade two of his attacks consecutively with Second Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. This was something utterly inconceivable.
Therefore, he decided to kill Ye Yuan!
Even if Shangguan Lingxue barred the way, he also had to kill Ye Yuan!
"Boy, in the capital, nobody dares to oppose me, Zhao Chenggan! All those who set themselves against me are already dead. You won't be an exception too! Don't blame me either. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for not growing eyes, to provoke an existence such as myself!" Seventh Prince said icily.
Finished talking, his figure moved, and already arrived before Ye Yuan.
Bang!
A huge explosion. Zhao Chenggan's figure fell back over a dozen steps before barely managing to stop his body.
His palm being returned, Zhao Chenggan's internal organs were in a disorderly mess.
"A-Alchemy King Shi!" Seeing the arrival clearly, Zhao Chenggan said in surprise.
The arrival was precisely Shi Haoran!
He turned around to take a look at the severely wounded Ye Yuan, his brows involuntarily knitted together.
"Alright?"
"Won't die!"
"Okay. Then you tend to your injuries. Leave the rest to me."
"No. I won't die. Borrow senior's pill refinement room to use!"
"En. Go ahead."
Ye Yuan casually took out a medicinal pill to consume and carried White Light into the pill refinement room. He did not look at Zhao Chenggan from start to end.
Zhao Chenggan's brows furrowed. He said to Shi Haoran, "Alchemy King Shi, he's your junior? Why haven't I heard about it before?"
Shi Haoran did not answer him. Raising one hand, a medicinal pill appeared in his hand.
Only to see him release gently. The medicinal pill fell. He grabbed it in his hand and casually rubbed it. A pile of powder fell from the palm of his hand.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingxue's expression changed.
They came to find Shi Haoran precisely for the sake of requesting a medicinal pill from him.
Shi Haoran did not come out the entire time because he was refining the medicinal pill for them. That was why he did not detect the commotion outside.
Now that the medicinal pill was already refined, Shi Haoran actually destroyed it in front of them!
"You guys, leave. Don't come back in the future. This place doesn't welcome you! Of course, if Junior Apprentice Brother Ji forgives you, I won't say much. Please!"
Shi Haoran made a please leave gesture. The meaning of showing guests the door was already perfectly clear.
Zhao Chenggan's facial expression flickered erratically. Within this capital, he had always been high and lofty. Never had he suffered such treatment.
Even prior to this, Shi Haoran was all smiles towards him. For the sake of this brat, Shi Haoran actually fell out with him!
"Alchemy King Shi, it was this boy who offended me. That's why I made a move to punish him. Furthermore, I wasn't aware that he was your junior. That's why there was this misunderstanding." Zhao Chenggang explained.
Shi Haoran's strength was extremely formidable. He also had exceedingly high status in the capital.
Zhao Chenggan felt that there was the need to explain to him. After all, this sort of thing like offending the Alchemist Association was not something amusing.
Although Shi Haoran could not represent the Alchemist Association, he was Sovereign Star Abyss's strongest eldest disciple.
To a very large degree, his attitude represented Sovereign Star Abyss's attitude!
Zhao Chenggan never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually Shi Haoran's junior. It was a little troublesome this time.
But, he also had immense faith towards his own identity and strength. He believed that Shi Haoran would not easily offend him either.
One had to know that behind him stood the Fierce Gale World's most powerful, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
Yet, he was too naïve.
"I have no interest in hearing which of you is right or wrong. I only saw you trying to kill him just now! So, you can scram now!" Shi Haoran said coolly.
Zhao Chenggan was enraged upon hearing that and said, "Shi Haoran, me explaining to you is giving you face! You don't fail to appreciate others' kindness! Could it be that you wish to let the Alchemist Association break away from His Majesty, the Wind Emperor?"
"Me making you scram is already taking into account His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's face. Otherwise, do you think that you can leave Qixia Mountain alive? Alright, if you still don't get lost, I'm going to make a move!" Shi Haoran did not give face in the slightest.
Zhao Chenggan's expression changed again and again. Shi Haoran had always had a benign and uncontentious appearance. Today's Shi Haoran was his first time seeing it.
"Fine! I'll leave! You'll regret it, Shi Haoran! Lingxue, let's go!" Zhao Chenggan gritted his teeth and said.
Shi Haoran placed both hands behind his back and did not even look at them.
. . . . . .
Around an hour later, Ye Yuan walked out of the pill refinement room carrying White Light. Shi Haoran hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Seeing that Ye Yuan's complexion was very pale, Shi Haoran said with a frown, "You're really messing around! Suffering such heavy injuries and still forcefully refining pills. Wouldn't that pile injury on top of injuries?"
Just now, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill whole and did not have time to refine the medicinal effect at all before entering seclusion to refine pills.
Although it was only refining a Tier 2 demonic pill, Ye Yuan was heavily wounded. After vomiting blood several times in succession, it already added injuries on top of injuries.
Seeing Shi Haoran being concerned, Ye Yuan felt his heart warm. He forced a smile and said, "No worries. I'm fine. White Light's injuries are very severe. If I don't help him refine medicinal pills, the outcome is hard to say."
Shi Haoran heaved a sigh and said, "You're somebody who values sentiments greatly. To actually do things to this extent for your contract beast! You, this Junior, I acknowledge you!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "White Light and I don't have a contractual relationship. We're equals. We're just like family. How can I watch him die?"
Shi Haoran said in astonishment, "En? You guys actually don't have a contractual relationship?! This little white tiger is only Tier 2, and he's actually so capable of perceiving the thoughts of humans!"
Under ordinary circumstances, humans could only own a contract beast by thoroughly subjugating a demonic beast and forcing it to sign a divine soul contract.
But this little white tiger had no contractual relationship with Ye Yuan and actually even threw away its own life for him. This was something that Shi Haoran had never heard of before.
"Indeed so," Ye Yuan said smilingly.
White Light this little fellow's origins was very mysterious. Even Ye Yuan could not figure it out. Being intelligent was also not something rare.
"En? What medicinal pill did you refine for him? Why doesn't he have any reaction at all?"
Shi Haoran noticed that White Light was not quite right. Logically speaking, after consuming medicinal pills, one's spirit would be a little better. But White Light did not stir at all.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I don't know what's happening too. After he consumed the medicinal pill, he fell into a state of deep sleep. But I can sense that his aura is currently in the midst of gradual recovery. It should be fine."
Shi Haoran observed closely and saw that it was indeed so. He could not help clicking his tongue in surprise.
Ye Yuan suddenly thought of Zhao Chenggan and opened his mouth to ask, "Oh, right, where's that Seventh Prince?"
Shi Haoran curled his lips and said, "I made him get lost!"
As he said, Shi Haoran briefly recounted the matter just now for Ye Yuan, making Ye Yuan stare with his mouth agape after hearing it.
He only smiled bitterly after a long while and said, "Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. Why was there a need for that, senior?"
Chapter 398. Sanctions! |
"Junior, have you forgotten what I said to you? Us disciples under Sovereign Star Abyss don't have to look at other people's countenance when doing things. This is where our confidence lie! Seventh Prince injured you and even wanted to kill you. That's provoking our Dao Yan lineage! Making him get lost is already on account of Wind Emperor's face. Otherwise, I would definitely help Junior vent this anger!" Shi Haoran said coolly.
Ye Yuan did not think that a mere Alchemy King actually had such courage!
Speaking of which . . . it was really quite like Li Daohang that chap's character!
That boy, apart from being very cautious around him and treating him with the courtesy of a teacher from beginning to the end, he would speak brusquely to others; an appearance like Your Father was number one under the heaven.
Seemed like this problem of his was successfully passed down to his disciple, which passed on to his grand-students.
Although he had not seen this side of Star Abyss yet, it was presumably around the same.
"Haha! I don't need that! This sort of thing like taking revenge, I love to do it the most! Looks like . . . everybody thinks that my cultivation realm is low and easy to bully!" Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed. It was uncertain what he was thinking about.
Shi Haoran thought that Ye Yuan was lamenting and could not help patting his shoulders as he consoled, "Junior, you're only 16-years-old and already at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm. This speed is already very fast. When Seventh Prince was at your age, he was at most Spirit Condensation Realm. You're way stronger than him! This sort of thing like raising realm can't be rushed. It's best to proceed steadily step by step."
In Shi Haoran's view, Ye Yuan had such accomplishments at a young age. He surely considered himself to be self-important.
Yet he suffered a blow from Seventh Prince today. This was likely very hard for Ye Yuan to accept.
If Ye Yuan ruined his foundation because he rushed to break through realms, that would be losing the main goal because of small gains.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much for Senior's concern. I have a sense of propriety."
Shi Haoran only relaxed after seeing that Ye Yuan's eyes had regained tranquility. He said, "You recover from your injuries first. After two days, I'll introduce the other fellow apprentices for you to get to know."
Ye Yuan nodded and did not say anything else.
. . . . . .
On the second day, Ye Yuan was notified to gather at the main hall.
By the time he reached, there were already six to seven people there. Each one of them sized up Ye Yuan curiously.
Ye Yuan was also sizing them up curiously. Barring no accidents, these few people should be those new seniors of his.
At this time, Shi Haoran also accompanied Star Abyss and slowly walked out.
"Master!" Everyone greeted in unison.
Ye Yuan naturally could not be a maverick. He could only bow along.
Star Abyss nodded slightly and opened his mouth to say, "I believe that you're all aware Master accepted a new disciple yesterday. It's Ji Qing. Come, you all get to know each other. Haoran, give an introduction."
Shi Haoran came to the center of everyone and said to Ji Qing, "Come, I'll introduce to you a few seniors. This fatso is your Second Senior Brother, Tang Zhi."
Ye Yuan said, "Ji Qing has seen Second Senior Brother."
That fatty laughed and said, "Junior brother is indeed a fine-looking man! I heard that you were actually able to reach the Legendary Realm. Truly remarkable!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not at all. It was all luck yesterday."
Shi Haoran smiled as he dragged a blue shirt youth over, introducing, "This is your Third Senior Brother, You Guang."
Ye Yuan similarly gave a bow. You Guang smiled and said, "Junior brother is already a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at such a young age. I think that in the future, you'll surely surpass your predecessors!"
Ye Yuan went along with a smile.
Next, was the Fourth Senior Brother Zhu Liang, Fifth Senior Brother Cheng Su, Sixth Senior Brother Jiang Yu, as well as Seventh Senior Brother Wu Huilong.
There were actually three Alchemy Kings among these seven people and four High-Rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings. The might of these few people were clear at a glance.
Li Daohang's lineage, while few in numbers, each one was able to hold a front.
But through Shi Haoran's introduction, only Third Senior Brother You Guang held a position in the Alchemist Association among these seven people. The rest had been following Star Abyss all along to cultivate and did not mingle with secular affairs.
Seemed like this Star Abyss had quite the attainments in this aspect of teaching disciples.
When Shi Haoran finished the introductions, Star Abyss suddenly opened his mouth to say, "You all don't look at how number eight's age is younger than yours. His alchemy strength is stronger than all of you! In the future, if you have any queries in alchemy that you don't understand, feel free to consult him."
"What? Consult little Junior Brother? Master, isn't this statement used a little incorrectly?" said number four, Zhu Liang.
"Yeah, Master. Not that we're looking down on little junior brother, but we've followed you for so many years and have more or less learned some smatterings. It can't be to such an extent where we can't even match little Junior Brother, right?" Number Seven Wu Huilong was evidently quite reluctant to yield.
Star Abyss narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Your little Junior Brother had a fortuitous encounter before entering my tutelage. His alchemy abilities are unfathomable; more than ample to be half your teacher. You all don't have to make such a huge fuss over nothing and don't need to argue with me either. Those who are unwilling to submit can very well challenge him. Of course, his age is young. You guys don't use cultivation realm to bully him."
Shi Haoran and Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi were still alright. But the other peoples' faces more or less had a hint of unnatural expression. Clearly, they begged to differ on Star Abyss's words.
Ye Yuan's performance yesterday in the Grand Pill Assembly, they had already heard a little to some extent.
But what one heard might be false, while what one saw would be real. Ye Yuan was definitely remarkable, but it was also not remarkable to the extent where he could be their teacher, right?
Ye Yuan kept quiet the entire time, but he had already cursed Star Abyss's predecessors countless times over in his heart.
This old punk actually made him help him teach his disciples without even giving him a heads-up!
Asking an Alchemy Emperor to help guide his disciples. To think that this fellow could do it!
