Unrivaled Medicine God, page 457
Perhaps Ye Yuan had the means to deceive one or two people. But so many alchemy emperors observing the ceremony, even if he had exceedingly high abilities, he could not deceive them either!
If not for having absolute confidence in his own alchemy skills, Ye Yuan absolutely would not dare to do so.
“Also, this Aunty’s imaginative powers are still quite rich. But using this sort of method to sow discord between Li-er and me, I can only say, hopelessly foolish!” Ye Yuan said scornfully.
Zhou Qianru’s expression changed and was going to open her mouth and refute, but she heard Li-er slowly say, “Aunt, Li-er trusts Ye Yuan! If there’s still anyone able to save me in this world, this person is without a doubt Ye Yuan! He won’t deceive me! Also, regardless who wins the Bright Moon Competition in the end, the one who obtains the final victory will definitely be Ye Yuan!”
Yue Mengli’s words were like a whip strike, lashing fiercely onto Zhou Yan’s heart.
This trust, he had never gained it before.
But Yue Mengli and Ye Yuan were merely acquainted for ten plus years. In-between even had six to seven years’ time they were apart. On what basis did she trust Ye Yuan like that?
“Li-er, w-why?! Just what the hell is good about this brat?” Zhou Yan asked with his entire body trembling.
Li-er looked at Zhou Yan and said calmly, “Zhou Yan, my heart, you won’t understand it. So give up!”
Indeed, nobody could understand Yue Mengli’s heart.
Many years ago, from that moment she saw Ji Qingyun, her heart had been tied to him. Nobody else could enter.
Yet, Ji Qingyun’s demise made her heart like dead ashes for a time.
What she did not expect was that she went to the Lower Realms to distract herself from her worries, but ran into Ye Yuan miraculously!
And this youth actually gradually superimposed with that person, making her dead heart slowly revive.
To Yue Mengli, nothing was more beautiful than this!
However, what truly made Yue Mengli unbelievably joyous was still that sentence Ye Yuan just said earlier. “Your man is naturally the strongest!”
Could it be that … she finally obtained his acknowledgment?
Chapter 937. Vow to Travel Together with You! |
The stars in the sky above shone brilliantly. A bright and clear moon hung at the corner of an orderly arrangement of houses along a street.
Bright Moon City’s moon was different from other places. Looking from here, the moon was always round and did not have cycles of waxing and waning.
Bright Moon City got its name from here.
Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Lifting his head to look at the moon, he sighed emotionally, “300 years a cycle. Vastsun and Bright Moon, the two cities are finally going to have the sun and moon shining together again! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil already hasn’t appeared for 100 thousand years. I wonder if this time, anyone in your two families will succeed or not. However … I feel that Li-er, you have very high hopes.”
Li-er fell behind slightly by half a step. Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth to say, “You … seem to be very familiar with the Vastsun and Bright Moon two cities.”
Ye Yuan turned around, looked at Yue Mengli, and said with a light smile, “You don’t have to approach the subject in a roundabout manner to find the answer, I can tell you. Your conjecture … is correct!”
Yue Mengli’s entire body trembled, her eyes revealing a look of not daring to believe it.
It was not that the result was unexpected, but Ye Yuan’s candidness that made her somewhat taken by surprise.
When at the Endless World, Yue Mengli wanted to find the answer once, but Ye Yuan did not give her a chance at all.
After returning to Bright Moon City, she gradually thought it through instead.
Yue Mengli was able to confirm that she had really fallen for Ye Yuan.
But today, when Ye Yuan told her the answer so casually and played it down, she was somewhat seized with panic instead.
Yes, it was seized with panic.
This youth in front of her was really that lord!
If Ye Yuan was Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli would do her best to love him. But when Ye Yuan was not Ye Yuan, she did not know what kind of an attitude to use to face him.
The mentality before and after was completely different.
That lord was an apex figure standing high above the masses in the Divine Realm; an existence which she needed to look up to. But Ye Yuan was merely just a Lower Realms’ measly little aboriginal.
Yet these two people actually really coincided together miraculously!
“W-Why did Your Excellency tell me this?” The calm and collected Yue Mengli finally lost composure this time.
Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, “Didn’t you always wanted to know very much? Since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
Yue Mengli fell into a daze, not expecting that the reason was actually so simple. After the surprise, a hint of sweetness trickled past in Yue Mengli’s heart.
This matter was of utmost importance. It might even affect the Divine Realm’s situation in the future.
To Ye Yuan, this was a colossal secret too. Once it was exposed, it would even draw a fatal disaster.
But he still told her!
“But in the past …”
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, “In the past, my heart was uncertain. Now, my heart is already moved.”
Yue Mengli’s delicate body trembled, but still somewhat doubted the words she had just heard, her eyes shocked to the core.
A strong arm gently took her into his arms and said, “Li-er, you know that I’m carrying a blood feud. So … some things, I don’t think about them and dare not think either. But that instant when you hugged me, I discovered that I already can’t lie to myself anymore.”
Yue Mengli did not speak, but Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that she was trembling in his embrace.
“Milord, I … I’m so happy!” After a long time, these few words transmitted out from his embrace and was actually somewhat choking with sobs.
Under the bright moon, two people hugged, with no words in the middle of the night.
No idea how long had passed either, Yue Mengli said softly in Ye Yuan’s embrace, “Milord …”
“Call me Ye Yuan. The past have faded like smoke. In this life, the name Ye Yuan will inevitably shake the Divine Realm!” Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Yue Mengli nodded her head slightly and corrected herself, “Ye Yuan, the Spirit Snow Divine King she …”
Ye Yuan fell silent, and finally, let out a sigh and said, “Me and Spirit Snow … perhaps we weren’t meant to be. Compared to her, I care about you more.
Ye Yuan sensed that the Yue Mengli in his arms hugged him even tighter.
Another moment of silence. This time, it was Ye Yuan who opened his mouth first: “Li-er, you should know my matters. Honestly speaking, I also don’t know just what kind of existence I’m facing. But I think that Ji Canglan is probably not the most terrifying one. Maybe …”
Ye Yuan did not finish saying when a delicate finger was already placed on his lips, preventing him from continuing.
Yue Mengli slowly got up and met Ye Yuan’s eyes, saying sincerely, “Ye Yuan, you don’t know how happy I am right now! When I saw milord’s elegant bearing back then, I was already smitten by milord. I swore back then to only marry milord in this lifetime! When I heard the grievous news being spread over, Li-er felt like the world was going to collapse. It was also starting from then that the Innate Battle Soul Physique awakened, making me suffer the agony of the divine soul tearing from time to time. Later, I brought Yan-er to the Endless World to distract myself. Even in my dreams, I never thought that I could meet with you again either. I thought that this is the so-called fate that people talked about, right? Therefore, no matter how arduous the road ahead is, Li-er vows to travel together with you!”
Yue Mengli’s gaze was incomparably firm. She wanted to use her actions to defend this hard-earned fate.
“Thank you, Li-er!” Ye Yuan said excitedly.
Li-er had an outwardly soft and inwardly tough personality. Things that she decided, even eight horses could not drag it back. Apart from this, she was also so considerate. No matter what, she would think of Ye Yuan’s standpoint to consider problems.
Perhaps it was precisely because of these that she moved Ye Yuan’s heart.
…
Five days later, the Yue Family’s martial arts practice field was packed full of people.
At this time, the practicing field became an enormous pill refining room.
The Yue Family was an ancient alchemy family too. Many members of the Yue Family had alchemist backgrounds. Therefore, the Yue Family’s alchemy emperor powerhouses were quite a few.
At this time at the practice field, just the alchemy emperor powerhouses were as many as 20 to 30!
“The Soul Separating Pill, originated from this young man’s hands? It looks like he has merely just stepped into Alchemy Venerable Realm!”
“Family Head said that the Soul Separating Pill might be incomplete, or was tampered with. But this old man had refined many times and didn’t discover any areas that were amiss.”
“Me too! If say this young man can use some sort of method to hoodwink us, these old fellows, then his Alchemy Dao attainments are also too scary!”
At present, Ye Yuan was currently being surrounded in the center of the field. A group of alchemy emperor powerhouses was making frivolous remarks about him.
These people had all refined the Soul Separating Pill before. But not a single person discovered that the Soul Separating Pill had issues.
But Zhou Qianru’s words still fermented in the midst of these people.
After all, a Tier 8 medicinal pill that so many alchemy emperors could not refine, this was also too strange.
Right at this time, a powerful aura descended from the sky. Everyone raised their heads and looked. They saw the Eight Extremities War Chariot descending from the sky.
“It’s Lord Quan Xingzi! Family Head actually invited Lord Quan Xingzi to come and attend the ceremony!” Everyone said in astonishment.
As a peak Alchemy Emperor, the Alchemist Association’s vice-chairman, Quan Xingzi’s status in the Divine Realm was exceedingly high.
And today, he actually personally came to the Yue Family to attend the ceremony for the sake of a puny little Tier 8 medicinal pill. This was also too strange.
Except, they did not know that Quan Xingzi had also attempted to refine the Soul Separating Pill before, but the result was a failure.
He was also very curious what kind of Tier 8 medicinal pill it was that even he actually could not refine it too!
Chapter 938. Dragon Sovereign Cauldron Appears! |
From the Eight Extremities War Chariot, down came an old man with a skinny face.
The old man had a sage-like appearance, looking to have the air of a great master.
This old man was well-known in the Divine Realm.
Behind the old man even followed a young man. He did not look old, but his cultivation realm was not low. He already reached peak Phaseless Realm!
From this young man’s badge, one could tell that he was actually already a peak Alchemy Venerable at a young age.
Getting off the war chariot, the young man’s gaze when he looked at Ye Yuan was filled with contempt and thick enmity.
“Lord Quan Xingzi, Honorable Nephew Liang Yuan, this way please!” Yue Jianqiu’s attitude was very courteous.
Quan Xingzi nodded his head but opened his mouth to say, “Just a second, Family Head Yue, I’m very interested in this Little Friend Ye Yuan. Can you allow this elderly self to have a few words with him?”
Yue Jianqiu smiled and said, “Of course, go ahead, Your Excellency.”
At this time, Ye Yuan was currently resting with his eyes closed. Quan Xingzi slowly came before him and opened his mouth to ask, “Little Friend Ye Yuan, this elderly self is the Alchemist Association’s Vice-Chairman, Quan Xingzi.”
Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, “I know.”
Quan Xingzi froze, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually had such an attitude.
With his status, even when Alchemy Emperor powerhouses saw him, they would also have to bow down and greet. But this little guy in front of him actually dismissed him with two words.
“Brat, what kind of attitude is this? You are still not paying respects when you see my master?” Liang Yuan was indignant and immediately voiced out to reproach.
But Ye Yuan did not even take notice of him. He said indifferently, “Those attending the ceremony go over there and sit. If there’s nothing, don’t interrupt my meditation.”
In the Divine Realm, the Medicine King Hall and Alchemist Association were sworn enemies. Before the Ji father and son died, the two houses fought for god knows how many years.
Although the Alchemist Association was powerful and influential, the Ji father’s and son’s Alchemy Dao strength were too heaven-defying. To really estimate it, they were roughly evenly-matched in strength.
The Alchemist Association was incomparably overbearing, wanting to control all of the alchemists in the world. And the Medicine King Hall’s existence was a major threat to their authority.
So back then, the Alchemist Association tried to suppress the Medicine King Hall. This Quan Xingzi naturally took part in it too.
Seeing the Alchemist Association’s people, it would be weird if Ye Yuan could show a good attitude.
When Liang Yuan saw that Ye Yuan’s attitude was haughty, he immediately blew his top. He was just about to give him a scolding but was stopped by Quan Xingzi.
“Huhu, looks like Little Friend has some misunderstanding towards this old man. But some things, this old man still has to ask,” Quan Xingzi said.
Ye Yuan said indifferently, “Ask away.”
“May I ask Little Friend, where this Soul Separating Pill’s pill formula came from? Does Little Friend really have the confidence to refine it?” Quan Xingzi opened his mouth to ask.
“This question you asked is ridiculous. If I can’t refine it, could it be that I deliberately called so many people over to make a spectacle of myself? As for the origin of the pill formula, no comment.” Ye Yuan laughed mockingly.
Quan Xingzi could not help being stifled when he heard that. Nodding his head, he sat down on the seat of honor.
This Ye Yuan was clearly very hostile towards him. It was just that he could not understand it; he had never met Ye Yuan before, so why was he like this?
The group of Alchemy Emperors all exchanged glances. This Ye Yuan was also too presumptuous, right?
What kind of status did Quan Xingzi have? He actually dared to talk like this. Was he not afraid of the Alchemist Association’s boycott?
One had to know that after the Medicine King Hall changed banners, the Alchemist Association became the alchemy world’s sovereign. Once the Alchemist Association carried out a boycott towards an alchemist, then this person would be very tragic.
It was just that Lord Quan Xingzi was good-tempered and would not stoop to Ye Yuan’s level.
After an hour, Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and slowly stood up.
Everyone suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes. Ye Yuan actually became like a different person, on his body actually had the air of a great master. Even those Alchemy Emperors sighed at their inferiority too.
An old and shabby incense burner appeared in Ye Yuan’s hand. Seeing this incense burner, everyone could not help being dumbfounded.
They were wondering what kind of medicinal cauldron Ye Yuan would bring out. They did not think that it was actually a dilapidated incense burner.
This thing could also refine pills?
“Haha! This brat is indeed trying to impress people by doing something sensational! If a lousy incense burner can refine pills too, that it would truly be the biggest joke in the world!” Liang Yuan burst into laughter.
The surroundings where Ye Yuan was refining had a noise-isolating array formation set up. He could not hear Liang Yuan’s mocking.
He held the incense burner on the palm of his left hand and bit a finger on his right hand. A drop of fresh blood dripped onto the incense burner.
Instantaneously, a terrifying aura undulated out. The smile on Liang Yuan’s face instantly turned stiff right there.
Quan Xingzi shot to his feet and cried out in shock, “Dragon Sovereign Cauldron! This … How is this possible? How can the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron possibly be in his hands?!”
Seeing his master lose composure like so, even if Liang Yuan was any dumber, he would also know that the origin of the worn-out incense burner in Ye Yuan’s hand was extraordinary.
“Master, what is … the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron?”
Forget about Liang Yuan, even those Alchemy Emperors did not know the origins of the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron either.
Quan Xingzi drew a deep breath and cleverly concealed the scorching heat in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say, “In the ancient era, an exceedingly powerful Alchemy God powerhouse had once appeared in the dragon clan before! Before he achieved Deity Realm, what he used was the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron! This Dragon Sovereign Cauldron accompanied him for half his life! The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron looks just like a small incense burner normally. But once it encounters dragon blood, it will immediately transform to become a top-tier medicinal cauldron!”
Everyone all drew a cold breath. They did not think that the origin of the shabby incense burner in Ye Yuan’s hands was actually so great!
The medicinal cauldron of an Alchemy God!
Even if it was just the medicinal cauldron before becoming a deity, the power was also unimaginable!
A dumbfounded look showed on Liang Yuan’s face. He was still mocking Ye Yuan before this. Did not expect that in a twinkle, he had his face utterly smacked.
