Unrivaled Medicine God, page 353
“You! You don’t even recognize this old man and actually dare to utter wild ravings here! Haven’t seen this sickness yet and you have an appearance like you can handle anything. Do you really think that you’re an Alchemy Emperor?” He Shuming was enraged by Ye Yuan until his beard billowed and he glared.
“What a joke! Why do I have to know you? Also, even though I’m not an Alchemy Emperor, Miss Gu’s illness, I’m definitely able to treat it!” Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh.
“Conceited and ignorant kid! Today, if you can’t treat Qing-er’s sickness, I’ll make you pay the price for your wild arrogance!” He Shuming was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan.
But right at this time, the Jun Tianyu who did not speak all along opened his mouth.
“Looks like this Jun hasn’t taken action for too long. Ancient Opulence City already have some people who don’t remember this Jun’s existence!”
Threatening!
Stark-naked threatening!
But Jun Tianyu had always been so domineering!
Threatening an Alchemy Saint in front of the three great aristocratic families’ family heads, only Jun Tianyu could do that!
Gu Changshun by the side suddenly had an impression. Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu, these two people mingling together were simply a perfect match!
These two people considered everyone beneath their notice exactly the same, showing striking resemblance of arrogance!
He Shuming could not help freezing when he heard that. That imposing momentum earlier immediately vanished like mist and smoke.
He lost his head from anger due to Ye Yuan earlier and really forgot that Jun Tianyu was right beside for a moment.
Jun Tianyu followed right by Ye Yuan’s side today constantly, rather like his follower; it was very easy to make people overlook his existence.
“Haha, everyone says fewer words. Master Ye, Brother Jun and Brother He are both this Gu’s honored guests. Harmony is precious, harmony is precious!” Gu Changshun saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
“Humph!” He Shuming gave a cold snort and turned his head over, no longer speaking.
“Family Head Gu, I think we better not waste time anymore. Let’s head straight for your daughter there,” Ye Yuan said.
Ye Yuan’s impression towards the Gu Family was not good and was disinclined to waste time here as well.
“That’s for the best!” Gu Changshun said.
The group of people entered the Gu Family’s inner-chambers and circled one big detour. Gu Changshun actually led Ye Yuan inside a dungeon.
This made Ye Yuan very surprised. Because he got to know from Yu Ming there that this daughter of Gu Changshun’s was the sole remaining bloodline left from his first wife. Gu Changshun normally doted on her very much.
Gu Changshun even took out the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall without any hesitation in order to save her. His doting on her could be seen at a glance.
But why did Gu Changshun actually lock her up in such a dungeon which did not see the light of day?
The further in they walked, the more unbelievably cold it got.
When they walked to the depths, Ye Yuan saw an ice bed. On the ice bed lay a woman wearing a sky-blue attire.
But that woman’s hands and legs were actually bounded by metal chains!
“This is my daughter, Gu Qing! Since three years ago, she became mentally deranged, killing people on sight. Having no choice, I could only bind up her hands and legs,” Gu Changshun explained.
Chapter 724. Essence Silk Thread Pulse Reading |
“Kill! You’re all demons! I’m going to kill you!”
When Gu Qing discovered that people came, she immediately became incomparably violent, using all of her strength wanting to shake off the constraints of the metal chains.
Seeing this kind of situation, Ye Yuan’s brows knitted together slightly too.
“Boy, I’ve already prepared the Dream Soul Incense for you. Are you doing it yourself?”
As he said, He Shuming threw Ye Yuan a short incense.
But Ye Yuan did not reach his hand out to catch, allowing that short incense to fall onto the ground.
Dream Soul Incense was a type of aromatic which could make people enter sleep. It had the function of pacifying the soul and spirit. Gu Qing’s ailment was hard for alchemists to take her pulse. This Dream Soul Incense naturally came in handy.
Seeing Ye Yuan like this, He Shuming was enraged. “Punk, what’s the meaning of this?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Miss Gu’s illness is currently in a state of outbreak illness at this time. Many things related to the illness will naturally be exposed during this time as well. You use the Dream Soul Incense to make her fall asleep, what if you misdiagnose because of this? Don’t even have this bit of elementary knowledge, I really don’t know how you, this Alchemy Saint, came about!”
He Shuming could not help choking up when he heard that. This punk was actually doubting his Alchemy Saint strength!
But every word of Ye Yuan’s was reasonable. He was actually unable to refute.
Even the Gu Changshun and Jun Tianyu by the side who did not understand also nodded their heads secretly when they heard. Very clearly, this argument was strong.
Gu Changshun could not resist darting a glance at He Shuming. When he diagnosed Gu Qing, didn’t he use the Dream Soul Incense to put Gu Qing to sleep?
“Utterly ignorant! Not using Dream Soul Incense, I want to see how you take the pulse!” He Shuming said with a cold smile.
Sensing Gu Changshun’s gaze, He Shuming’s face was burning too. But not putting Gu Qing to sleep, how to take the pulse?
“Then you open your eyes wide and look properly!”
Ye Yuan went forward a few steps and approached closer to Gu Qing a little more. Then, he extended his index finger. A trace of pale-yellow silk thread flowed out from his index finger.
This fine thread was actually condensed and formed with essence energy!
Seeing this scene, He Shuming’s expression could not help changing drastically as he let his tongue slip and said “Essence silk thread pulse reading!”
Gu Changshun did not know what was called essence silk thread pulse reading. But he could also tell from He Shuming’s expression that this move of Ye Yuan’s seemed to be very formidable, and he could not help feeling more hopeful.
This Gu Qing was born from him and his first wife. The two people were deeply in love. But his wife left this world not long after Gu Qing was born.
Furthermore, Gu Qing looked virtually identical to his first wife. Therefore, Gu Changshun also showered her with favors all along.
Who could have thought that Gu Qing would actually get such a strange illness? Even He Shuming taking action could not find the cause of the illness too.
If even Gu Qing left him too, Gu Changshun would really have a breakdown.
Hence, he did not scruple in agreeing to Ye Yuan, using the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall as the diagnosis fee to treat Gu Qing.
And at this time, the silk thread spat out from Ye Yuan already gradually crept over onto Gu Qing’s arm, then reached into the meridians from her arm.
Seeing this scene, Gu Changshun’s face slightly revealed an astonished look too.
Even though he did not know what was called essence silk thread pulse reading, this move of Ye Yuan’s was sufficient to indicate that he was extraordinary.
Martial artists spitting out essence energy was mostly for the sake of pursuing greater destructive power. The control towards essence energy belonged to the crude style.
But this move of Ye Yuan’s required extremely fine control over essence energy.
This point, even he, as a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist, could not accomplish it too!
This kind of skill, without going through repeated tempering, it was simply impossible to master.
As for He Shuming, the astonishment in his heart was even more intense compared to Gu Chagnshun.
Gu Changshun did not know, but He Shuming was an Alchemy Saint powerhouse!
The Ancient Opulence City’s only Alchemy Saint powerhouse!
This essence silk thread reading pulse was an extremely profound pulse reading skill. It had a close to perverse requirement towards control of essence energy and soul force.
He Shuming had also attempted to train this skill before. But in the end, he still gave up because it was too hard.
Essence silk thread pulse reading was not just condensing essence energy into a fine thread and inserting into a martial artist’s body that simple. If that were the case, he could also do it.
The hardest part about essence silk thread pulse reading was the probing inside the martial artist’s body after entering the martial artist’s meridians!
The control of essence energy in this could not have the slightest deviation. Otherwise, it would fall short of success and even damage the martial artist’s body.
This was still He Shuming’s first time seeing essence silk thread pulse reading on an Alchemy Sovereign Realm coming from a junior’s body!
As far as he knew, those able to master this skill were all powerhouses above Alchemy Saint!
This boy was definitely putting on an act. He did not have any way to probe Gu Qing’s meridians at all.
Yes, it must be like this!
Before long, Ye Yuan withdraw his essence energy. That thread of essence energy dissipated immediately.
Gu Changshun inquired with a hopeful look, “Master Ye, how is my daughter’s illness?”
Ye Yuan frowned and said, “A little troublesome!”
He Shuming perked up the moment he heard and immediately laughed coldly as he said, “Heh, can’t diagnose means can’t diagnose! Pretending for what! Like I said, how can essence silk thread pulse reading be so easy to master? Almost got hoodwinked by you, this punk!”
Gu Changshun’s face fell following that too. The atmosphere became rather odd for a moment.
But Ye Yuan had a calm look as he said, “Is that so . . . The troublesome I said was not because I have no way, but because I wonder which moron tied Miss Gu onto this ice bed! That fool completely doesn’t have a clue about Miss Gu’s illness and assumed that this ten-thousand year profound ice bed could suppress the mental demon. In the end, not only did it not have any effect, it worsened the illness instead! Eh? What are you glaring so angrily for? I wasn’t talking about you.”
The more Ye Yuan talked, the blacker He Shuming’s face became.
Ye Yuan’s ability to scold the locust while pointing at the mulberry was truly at the acme of perfection!
Who else could this fool be other than him, He Shuming?
“Boy, I admit that your verbal skills are impressive! Since you say that the ten-thousand year profound ice bed is useless, then say what’s up with Qing-er!” He Shuming said with a black face.
Ye Yuan said in amazement, “Eh? It’s really you? Could it be that you, this Alchemy Saint, was bought with earth essence crystals? Alchemy Saint treating people’s illnesses, not knowing but pretending to know is a great taboo. You don’t even know this point? You didn’t even figure out her sickness and dared to make the Gu Family tie her onto the ten-thousand year profound ice bed. I’m really in awe of your courage! Are you trying to save people or harm people?”
He Shuming was almost about to explode from anger. If He Shuming wasn’t present, even if Ye Yuan really had the ability to save Gu Qing, he would also smack Ye Yuan to death with one palm!
Without any suspense, Gu Changshun gave him a glance with a profound meaning again.
“Boy, if you want to be rampant, wait until you ascertain Qing-er’s illness before you be rampant. You keep on refusing to say, diverting Family Head Gu’s attention, it should be that you didn’t find out the cause of the illness, right?” He Shuming said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, “Honestly, I feel that your reputation, this Alchemy Saint, are too exaggerated. You don’t even know some basic knowledge of alchemists! When other alchemists are attending to patients, shouldn’t you back away a little? I’m not saying naturally because I’m afraid that you’d secretly learn! But with your intellect, even if you secretly learn, you probably can’t reach genuine Alchemy Saint standards either! Forget it, if you want to secretly learn, that’s up to you as well! I’m here to tell you that the real cause of Miss Gu’s illness is . . . no cause of illness!”
Chapter 725. Unable to Achieve Anything, But Good at Ruining Things |
“No cause of illness? Are you messing with me?”
With this, Gu Changshun’s face could not refrain from turning black too.
Gu Qing with this half-dead appearance, and Ye Yuan actually said that there was no cause of illness. Simply the biggest joke in the world!
“Haha! I already said that this boy is deliberately trying to act mystical, right? He doesn’t know essence silk thread pulse reading at all and even pretended in front of us. Truly ignorant!”
“Ye Yuan, you cut Gu Hong’s ear and even opened your mouth wide to demand for the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall. Now, you’re actually telling me that there isn’t a cause for the illness?! Could it be that you really think my Gu Family is easy to bully? Brother Jun, Ye Yuan making a fool out of my Gu Family like this, are you going to intervene too?”
Under Gu Changshun’s rage, he even changed his address of Ye Yuan too.
If not for being wary of Jun Tianyu, he would have long made a move to exterminate Ye Yuan.
Jun Tianyu was at a loss too, uncertain what Ye Yuan was driving at by saying it like this. But he still voiced out, “If Ye Yuan Ye came in order to take liberties with your Gu Family, your vengeance . . . this Jun will receive it!”
The words were still matchlessly domineering!
Even if he made war with a large aristocratic family like the Gu Family again, he would not hesitate to either!
“Jun Tianyu, you! Simply pushing others too far!” Gu Changsun said furiously.
For a moment, both parties became dangerously explosive.
But Ye Yuan said coolly, “All relax. So nervous for what? Miss Gu truly isn’t ill, but she fell into an illusion and is unable to extricate herself.”
“What did you say? Illusion? How is that possible?” Gu Changshun said with a face full of disbelief.
“Brat, making things up when you can’t find the cause of the illness! Qing-er is right in this Gu Manor. Who dares to cast illusionary arts on her and make her enter an illusionary realm? Moreover, Gu Changshun is a Heaven Enlightenment Realm. Somebody made his daughter fall into an illusion, and he actually did not know?” He Shuming said with a cold laugh.
Ye Yuan shot him an indifferent glance and said with a smile, “Stop talking already. The more you speak, the more it exposes your ignorance! Therefore, shut your mouth up and listen to me say finish properly, alright?”
“You! Fine, this old man wants to see just what can you say!” He Shuming said with a cold snort.
Regarding Ye Yuan’s excuse, forget about Gu Changshun, even Jun Tianyu did not really believe it.
To make people fall into an illusion, it ultimately required some external functions.
But with their Heaven Enlightenment Realm strength, they could not detect anything amiss with Gu Qing at all.
But Gu Qing was clearly like being possessed, not recognizing her closest kin, her face contorted savagely.
This was the strange aspect of Gu Qing’s illness and also the reason why everyone kept failing to find out.
This situation already persisted for three years’ time. If someone cast illusionary arts on Gu Qing, with Gu Changshun’s strength, it was impossible to not detect it at all, unless the caster’s strength already reached the level of reaching the heaven.
But if there was really somebody who could reach such a level, how could they possibly make things difficult for a little girl?
All of these made no sense at all!
But Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, “Family Head Gu, I wonder if prior to your daughter being born, has your wife encountered enemies trying to kill her before? Moreover, the other party should have someone skilled in illusionary arts or divine soul attacks?”
The moment Gu Changshun heard, his expression involuntarily became grim and he said with a nod, “This . . . is indeed so! Back then, my wife was expecting. I brought her along to the Holy Land. In the end, we were ambushed along the way by a group of bandits! That bunch of bandits, their strength were not very strong. But among them had someone whose illusionary arts were very bizarre. Even I almost succumbed to it too. That battle, my Gu Family suffered heavy losses. Even my wife was also injured in that battle. Later on, not long after Qing-er was born, she left this world.”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Then that’s right! Me saying that your daughter fell into an illusion isn’t saying that she had an illusionary art cast on her, but it came with her since birth! If my conjectures are right, what that person cast should be a wide-range illusionary art, making quite a few people present all fall for it immediately, right?”
“That’s right! Even though this Gu’s strength is a little strong, I was also affected terribly by that illusionary art. I paid an extremely dear price for this before barely managing to forcefully escape alive with my wife. We nearly met with our deaths there!”
Gu Changshun still had some lingering fear in his heart when he recalled the incident back then. Very clearly, it was a very slim chance of survival at that time.
“At that time, your daughter was in the womb, but her divine soul had already gradually condensed and also suffered some influence. It was just that due to the mother’s body’s protection, her influence was not too great. But this bit of influence quietly lied low in her divine soul. In the future, if it triggered by chance, it would be like this now, behaving crazily. Therefore, did your daughter suffer some kind of stimulation three years ago?” Ye Yuan explained.
