Unrivaled Medicine God, page 381
His own status was not very high, but Pei Wenqiang had an elder brother who was a holy son. Otherwise, he would also not be assigned outside to be a city lord.
This Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill was an extremely valuable medicinal pill even to Pei Kun, let alone Pei Wenqiang.
When Pei Wenqiang heard this, he said agitatedly, “Are your words true, milord?”
Yang Sen nodded and said, “If not for definite news, how would I dare to open my mouth easily? Most likely, the Pei Family’s envoy is already on their way at present. You are also aware that the holy land has numerous factions. The contest for these quotas is naturally very intense too. You were able to seize two spots all at once; it naturally helps to gain a great deal of face for the Pei Family. Other than the Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill, the merit points awarded this time definitely won’t meager too.”
Pei Wenqiang was overjoyed as he said, “Many thanks for Your Excellency’s news!”
Yang Sen waved his hand and said, “Thanking me for what? I’m only just informing you a little in advance. Obtaining this reward is you yourself discovering talents with discerning eyes; i has nothing to do with me.”
By the side, Wu Jianqing’s face was already livid, green with envy for some time inwardly.
Wu Jianqing wished to obtain a Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill even in his dreams. But this medicinal pill was in too high demand. The family clan could not possibly award it at all.
He didn’t expect that Pei Wenqiang this guy gained a new lease on life and actually obtained the Pei Family’s bestowal!
With Yang Sen’s status, saying in front of so many people, this matter was basically set in stone already. How could he, Wu Jianqing, not be envious?
No idea what bullshit luck Pei Wenqiang this guy had, to actually be able to find a freak like Ye Yuan.
After finishing the small talk with Pei Wenqiang, Yang Sen said to the six people who advanced with a stern countenance, “Since the six of you have already stood out from the masses, as Ye City’s division competition zone’s organizer, I naturally have to congratulate all of you. But what I want to warn everybody is that now is still not the time to be happy. Because the cruelty of the grand finals will surpass your imaginations! I’ve already received some news; the genius martial artists who entered the grand finals this time, just the Ninth Level Boundless and above have 20 over people! While among the six of you, the highest is merely Eighth Level Boundless. Of course, cultivation realm doesn’t completely represent strength. But you guys should be clearer than me that to be able to reach Ninth Level Boundless Realm at this age, not one of them is a mediocre person!”
Hearing Yang Sen’s words, everyone’s joy from having just advanced was immediately all gone.
Apart from Ye Yuan, the others all had very solemn expressions. Clearly, they sensed tremendous pressure. Yang Wenmiao was no exception either.
Actually, these people had long had mental preparations regarding the grand finals’ brutality.
But they absolutely never expected that the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time would actually be brutal to such a degree!
A total of 60 people, there were actually 20 over Ninth Level Boundless Realms. What kind of concept was this?
Furthermore, who could guarantee that those Eighth Level Boundless, Seventh Level Boundless, even among the Sixth Level Boundless, and Fifth Level Boundless Realms did not have freaks like Tang Fan and Ye Yuan?
It was not that no one dares not to guarantee this, but definitely there will be those freaks!
The allure of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley was too great. Even Ye Yuan, a former Alchemy Emperor powerhouse, was moved, let alone the others?
Therefore, this time, those young geniuses who were not willing to reveal their edge all popped out all at once.
According to Yang Sen’s way of saying things, dark horses like Ye Yuan and Tang Fan were seen everywhere this time.
Many young geniuses who were unknown before this all emerged this time.
Four or five people even poured out all at once in some division competition zones. Those geniuses who were originally viewed favorably were instead eliminated one by one!
This kind of line-up seriously made them unable to be happy.
Since they entered the grand finals, no a single person did not wish to get a good ranking.
In order to attract these geniuses to enter the holy land, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land also poured in extensive capital this time, bleeding their reserve. The top ten young geniuses would obtain incomparably generous cultivation resources.
Under this kind of temptation, few would be unmoved.
These young geniuses’ strengths were all at roughly the same rank. The final battle situation would surely be very intense, even to the extent of brutal.
Under such circumstances, wanting to enter the top ten was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.
Yang Sen stated the risks and benefits of the grand finals’ harshness and swept across the six people’s faces, but he discovered that Ye Yuan was very composed from start to finish. He could not resist asking and said, “Ye Yuan, looking at you, seems like you’re not very worried?”
Chapter 782. Crimson Afterglow Holy Land |
Ye Yuan did not think that Yang Sen would speak up and ask him. He replied with a smile, “Rather than worry about this, may as well make the best use of this one month’s time to cultivate a bit more. Everyone’s strength is roughly similar. Every increase in strength is naturally an increase in chances of victory.”
Yang Sen was stunned. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually say such words.
Thinking carefully, it seemed like it really was that case.
If the strength difference was too great, a month’s time naturally did not have much use.
But these 60 people’s strength clearly did not have a great disparity. Whoever won or lost, either was possible.
Under such circumstances, a month’s time, one could do many things.
Ye Yuan’s words made the other five people’s state of mind relax considerably. But the sense of urgency rose.
If not for Yang Sen being present, they wished that they could go and enter a retreat right away.
Yang Sen looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. This youth seemed to have a level-headedness that was disproportionate to his age.
“Ye Yuan, I saw that when you were defending the arena previously, seemed like you still had some strength to spare. I wonder if you have any goal entering the grand finals this time?” Yang Sen asked.
Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak. But Pei Wenqiang interjected when he saw the situation, “I know a little about this. Ye Yuan’s goal is that spot to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley!”
“Hiss …”
Everyone all sucked in a cold breath. Wasn’t this goal a little too big?
Hearing it, it just sounded somewhat inconceivable.
But Yang Sen shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, “Young people having strength, having goals, are a good thing. But reaching beyond one’s grasp, one will probably return in disappointment in the end!”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Your Excellency, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first to cultivate.”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored the dumbfounded looking people, turned right around, and went out.
“Stop right there! You actually dare to be disrespectful toward Lord Yang! I think that you’re tired of living!” Wu Jianqing finally seized the opportunity to explode.
Ye Yuan said in surprise, “Our Lord Yang says that I’m reaching beyond my reach, so I’m cultivating a while more in a down-to-earth manner. How did it become disrespect towards Lord Yang?”
“You! Twisting logic! With the likes of your bit of strength and you also dare to dream about entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley, simply daydreaming in broad daylight!”
“Heh, whatever you say. This little lord is still in a hurry to cultivate, see you later!”
Ye Yuan really left the City Lord Manor after he finished talking.
Yang Wenmiao and the rest actually could hardly wait long ago already. Seeing Ye Yuan leave, Yang Wenmiao clasped his hands towards Yang Sen and said, “Father, this child has to cultivate too. I’ll take my leave first.”
Yang Sen hesitated slightly for a bit, but he still nodded and said, “I see that you guys can’t seem to stay anymore either. Go on then.”
Yang Wenmiao and the rest were like receiving amnesty, immediately going back to enter closed-seclusion.
After everyone left, Yang Sen stopped Pei Wenqiang and asked, “Ye Yuan really has this strength?”
Pei Wenqiang thought for a while and said, “Actually, before coming here, I also thought that he was joking. But now, I’m somewhat having hopes for him. Perhaps the strength he explodes with during the competition will give us a great shock!”
…
Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was established on top of a spirit vein. The essence energy was extremely abundant.
Even though the present Crimson Afterglow Holy Land already declined, this place was an extremely flourishing land too.
People came and went, endless streams of horses and carriages; it was a dignified large-scale city.
The population in the holy land was not as many as a large city such as Ye City. But the scale was quite a bit larger. Moreover, the martial artists’ strengths were also not what those large cities were able to compare too.
A month’s time passed in a twinkle. Ye Yuan’s group of six who advanced followed Yang Sen into the holy land.
Ye Yuan was born in a super holy land and did not have much feeling towards this kind of small-scale holy lands.
Rather, other than Yang Sen, it was the others’ first time entering the holy land. They were filled with curiosity towards this place.
The holy land’s reserve strength was mostly Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. They actually did not place much importance on Boundless Realms.
Organizing this Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time was an unprecedented occasion.
“The holy land’s factions are complex and intricate. This period of time, you all better be a little more careful. Don’t offend people, and try to have self-awareness. Of course, as long as you guys are able to enter the top ten, you’d have the qualifications to enter the holy temple. At that time, these forces naturally won’t dare to offend you all,” Yang Sen voiced out to remind when he saw everyone’s curious baby looks.
Yang Sen was born in the holy land and had witnessed before countless geniuses. He naturally knew that these young men were arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. There would even be an inclination towards attacking at a word of disagreement.
However, with the backgrounds of these people before his eyes, they could not afford to offend some of the holy land’s major factions at all.
One had to know that although the holy land’s Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists were not as many as the hair on an ox, hundreds definitely existed.
And behind these people, mostly all were Phaseless Realm powerhouses.
Phaseless Realm powerhouses, they were the holy land’s mid-level pillars!
If one offended Phaseless Realm martial artists, the city lords behind these few people could not help them.
Of course, Yang Sen himself was a Phaseless Realm powerhouse too. It was just that the factions inside this holy land, there were many he could not afford to offend.
The group was walking when two people came from in front.
“Younger Brother Yang Sen! How have you been?”
The one in front was an elderly man who greeted Yang Sen immediately, but his eyes glanced towards Ye Yuan.
But the other person was Ye Yuan’s old acquaintance. It was precisely Zhao Qian.
Yang Sen was clearly very surprised by the old man’s arrival and hurriedly saluted as he said, “I’ve seen, Chairman Jiao!”
Chairman Jiao chuckled and said, “Haha, I heard that Younger Brother Yang acquired several fine talents this time. This Jiao specially came to take a look. The genius martial artists your Ye City’s division competition zone selected this time should be these few people, right? Haha, indeed fine men with striking appearances!”
He said that it was to come to take a look at all the martial artists. But when Yang Sen saw Chairman Jiao’s eyes, how could he still not know that he was here specifically for Ye Yuan?
Except, he was a little alarmed inwardly. A puny little Divine Traversing Realm boy could actually trouble the Meteor Trading Company’s Crimson Afterglow Branch’s Lord Chairman to personally come out and welcome.
Looks like this Ye Yuan’s identity was indeed not that simple!
Although the Meteor Trading Company’s strength declined somewhat in these recent few years, it was a true-blue Rank One Holy Land; it was absolutely not what their kind of small holy land could contend with.
A random Second Level Dao Profound powerhouse that they send out could destroy the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
Of course, the holy lands where trading firms were located at always had harmony as a virtue. Unless there were no other choices, they would not easily go to war.
Doing business, reputation was the most important.
Exterminating people’s holy land at the drop of a hat was completely a thing that harmed others without benefits.
This Chairman Jiao was the Meteor Trading Company’s person in charge of the Crimson Afterglow Branch. To actually come personally to welcome, this was absolutely a very odd matter.
He heard that this Ye Yuan was just an ascender. How was it possible to become associated with such a major figure?
But shock was shock, face still had to be given to Chairman Jiao.
“Chairman Jiao is too kind!” Yang Sen said.
Chairman Jiao said smilingly, “Younger Brother Yang, Our Meteor Trading Company has some business dealings with this Little Brother Ye Yuan. Just nice then; our Crimson Afterglow Branch is looking for him to discuss some things, so we dropped by. I hope that Younger Brother Yang won’t take offense.”
Yang Sen thought to himself that it was indeed so. He said verbally, “Dare not, dare not!”
Chapter 783. Several Intel |
“This old man, Jiao Ting, is the Meteor Trading Company’s Crimson Afterglow Branch’s Chairman. Taking the liberty of inviting Master Ye here this time is that we have a business deal that we wish to discuss with you.”
As the person in charge of the Meteor Trading Company, Jiao Ting’s tone was surprisingly very courteous toward Ye Yuan.
If the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s people saw Jiao Ting being so polite to Ye Yuan, they would definitely receive a huge shock!
Although Jiao Ting’s strength was not as strong as the Holy Lord’s, his status was not the slightest bit inferior to the Holy Lord.
A heavyweight-class figure like this was actually so polite to a Divine Traversing Realm youth. It would make people unbelievably shocked.
Ye Yuan glanced at Jiao Ting, then looked at the Zhao Qian who was silent by the side, and said smilingly, “You guys are here for the pill formulas, right? Looks like, your Meteor Trading Company indeed has some difficulties striding forward right now!”
Jiao Ting was alarmed inwardly when he heard that and could not help looking over towards Zhao Qian in astonishment. For a moment, he actually did not know how he should answer.
He had long heard Zhao Qian say before that Ye Yuan was formidable. But this one exchange, he candidly admitted defeat straightaway.
Not only did Ye Yuan guess his intentions of coming, he actually even guessed the Meteor Trading Company’s present predicament!
Just what was this boy’s head made out of?
“I’m not hiding from Mister Ye; our Meteor Trading Company has indeed encountered an unprecedented dilemma. I know that this request is a little demanding, but your pill formulas are indeed very important to us right now!” Zhao Qian suddenly opened her mouth and said.
Finished talking, Zhao Qian looked at Ye Yuan rather nervously, seemingly awaiting his sentencing.
To Zhao Qian, this was still her first time being so obsequious to another person because of several Tier 5 pill formulas.
Zhao Qian and Ye Yuan’s collaboration was currently restricted to the Ancient Opulence City. Other places were not permitted to sell the medicinal pills Ye Yuan refined.
Therefore, even though these medicinal pills earned massive amounts, it was only specific to the Ancient Opulence City area.
To a leviathan like the Meteor Trading Company, it did not have the slightest benefit at all.
Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Qian and suddenly asked, “What’s your relationship with Zhao Xingchen?”
Zhao Qian was stunned, immediately shaking her head, saying, “Mister Ye is worrying too much. How can Qian-er possibly have any association with Lord Head Chairman?”
She said that verbally, but Zhao Qian was incomparably shocked in her heart.
How did Ye Yuan, an ascender, know the Head Chairman’s name? Could it be that Ye Yuan really had some relationship with the Meteor Trading Company?
Zhao Xingchen this name was not what the average martial artist could know.
Even a holy land’s holy lord might not have the qualifications to know this name.
What made her even more astounded was that Ye Yuan actually guessed her relationship with Zhao Xingchen!
Ye Yuan curled his mouth when he heard that and said, “Doesn’t even have a bit of sincerity. Why did you guys still come and find me to discuss what cooperation? You also know that wanting the pill formulas is somewhat demanding. Then you better save your breath!”
As he said, Ye Yuan was about to leave.
Zhao Qian panicked when she heard that and hurriedly said, “Wait a minute! I … Zhao Xingchen … is my father!”
Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised look, saying with a smile, “Heh, the exalted Head Chairman’s daughter would actually come to such a small holy land like Crimson Afterglow personally. I’m somewhat curious; what on earth happened to your Meteor Trading Company!”
