Unrivaled Medicine God, page 531
No one could resist the allure of a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill!
Those Dao Profound powerhouses swarmed forward like bees, scrambling after one another to let Ye Yuan help them refine medicinal pills.
At this time, they already could not be bothered with whatever Alchemist Association anymore!
Could the Alchemist Association let a peak Alchemy Emperor help them refine pills?
Would the Alchemist Association help them refine pills for free?
They would not!
This sort of situation was precisely what Ye Yuan had foreseen long ago. What he wanted was this effect.
He did not believe that those Alchemist Association fellows could still sit still!
As the Holy City’s subsidiary, the Alchemist Association helped the Holy City to amass innumerable riches, letting the Holy City’s alchemists have endless resources to groom their descendants’ strength.
Smacking the Alchemist Association’s face, they would definitely go find Cloudsky.
This was Ye Yuan’s plan. You don’t come out, I’ll force you out!
Ye Yuan’s comprehension of Divine Dao laws became increasingly deeper currently. Right now, refining these Tier 9 medicinal pills was already at his fingertips and did not take too much time at all.
If he was willing, he could even refine a large pile of arcane insight rank medicinal pills.
Ye Yuan called out in a clear voice, “No need to worry, one by one. Those that need to refine Tier 9 medicinal pills, queue up on my side. Those who need to refine Tier 8 and below medicinal pills, go to the three of them there to queue. The few of them are my pupils and grand-pupil. Their alchemy path strengths are still passable, so everyone rest assured. However, if there are people who want to stir up trouble, don’t blame me for not being courteous!”
Ao Qian and the few Void Mystic powerhouses released their auras. Those martial artists who were just about to cut queue and start a fight immediately shriveled up.
With Ao Qian, Kuang Tianming, and Jiang Taicang present, the order at the scene was maintained very quickly.
Hence, Ye Yuan and the others started refining pills one by one according to the order.
…
Smash!
Inside the Alchemist Association, Quanxing Zi smashed the cup in his hand into pieces 1 .
“Bullying others too much! Bullying others too much! Qingyun Zi, this punk, is getting more and more lawless! To actually dare block the Alchemist Association’s front door and use this sort of underhanded trick to deal with the Alchemist Association! He’s challenging the entire alchemy world here!” Quanxing Zi howled.
Only later on did Quanxing Zi know that that young man he wanted to recruit was actually Ji Qingyun!
Even he, this person who was almost entering the coffin, felt his face burn red-hot at that time too.
Before reincarnating, Ji Qingyun’s strength already surpassed him, this veteran peak Alchemy Emperor.
Furthermore, the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association had always been at loggerheads. He was actually silly enough to go and recruit Ye Yuan.
No wonder Ye Yuan had an incomparably arrogant attitude back then, making practically unable to step down the stage. Thinking about it now, he was completely making things hard on him on purpose back then.
And now, this guy actually ran to his doorstep to slap faces!
One had to know, inviting alchemists to take action to refine pills, the price was very costly. This was the alchemy world’s rule.
Because the resources required for grooming an alchemist was far greater compared to a martial artist.
Ye Yuan helping martial artists refine medicinal pills for free, this was breaking the rules. How could Quanxing Zi not be furious?
“But … Ji Qingyun is all alone in the world right now without any attachments. We can’t do anything to him at all! Unless …”
The one speaking was one of the Alchemist Association’s three great peak alchemy emperors, Gudao Zi.
At this time, he made a neck-swiping hand gesture. The meaning was actually to kill Ye Yuan.
But Quanxing Zi shook his head at that and said, “Do you think that Ji Qingyun that boy is so easy to deal with? You look at who those people around him are. Just the Void Mystic Realm martial artists number quite a few! Jing Fengtian isn’t around either. Sigh … what a headache!”
Chapter 1087. Still Need You to Teach Me? |
“He merely brought along three Void Mystic powerhouses. Inside the Holy City, there are no less than five Void Mystic powerhouses! Wanting to deal with him shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Gudao Zi said with a frown.
The Holy City was the place where powerhouses gathered. Although Void Mystic powerhouses were seldom seen, they were no big deal to the Holy City.
Even if the strongest Heaven Stabilizing Divine King and Jing Fengtian were not around, no one dared to act wildly in the Holy City too.
Quanxing Zi gave Gudao Zi a glance and said with a bitter smile, “You just exited seclusion and might not know yet. The current Ye Yuan is already no longer that Ji Qingyun, who studies alchemy Dao wholeheartedly! The Holy City’s strength, even a fool knows. For him to dare to do this, could it be that he would have something to rely on? This brat has a divine artifact in his hands. If he were so easy to deal with, you think Cloudsky, that fellow, wouldn’t covet it?”
When Gudao Zi heard the two words ‘divine artifact’, his entire body involuntarily quivered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had just left seclusion and really did not know about the outside world’s affairs.
Did not think that the Ji Qingyun, who disappeared for 20 years, actually had such a precious treasure on him presently.
“Then … you and I go out to work things out with him? If he loses, he can’t go so far as to be utterly devoid of shame, and still refine pills for free here, right?” Gudao Zi thought about it and said.
He left seclusion recently and had new comprehension of Alchemy Dao again. Just nice, borrow this opportunity to display his strength in front of the world!
Quanxing Zi shot him a glance and said with a sigh, “You might not believe it if I say it. You go and take a look at him refining pills yourself then. These 20 years, not only did his alchemy path strength not decline, it improved further instead! If he has Divine King cultivation realm currently, his alchemy path strength would probably already not lose out to the Ji Zhengyang before death!”
“What did you say?!” Gudao Zi’s eyes went wide, filled with disbelief.
He had just exited seclusion and was called over by Quanxing Zi, and had yet to have time to go see Ye Yuan refine pills.
But Ye Yuan stirring up such a huge commotion, it was impossible for Quanxing Zi to not pay attention at all.
He had long observed Ye Yuan refine pills in secret. It would have been fine if he didn’t, but this observation really gave him a fright!
He had never thought that refining Tier 9 medicinal pills would be so effortless!
Even for the Ji Qingyun back then, there was also absolutely impossible to reach this sort of degree.
That could only mean that Ye Yuan’s current alchemy path strength was even stronger than his past life!
Going to find him to compete in alchemy now, wasn’t it looking for a face-slapping himself?
It was fine if they won, but if they really lost, the Alchemist Association would not be able to lift its head up.
“It has just been 20 years time, he … what right does he have?”
Gudao Zi felt that this world was too unreasonable. In just 20 years, he only improved that tiny hint and was already patting himself on the back.
But he, Ji Qingyun, actually already reached the true pinnacle of this Divine Realm!
What was the true peak?
That was the likes of Jing Fengtian and Ji Zhengyang!
Gudao Zi was very confident in his alchemy skills. But compared to Jing Fengtian, he could only concede.
Quanxing Zi let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, “This is a true genius! Even if you and I exhausted all the strength of a lifetime, we’re also unable to catch up! Although I don’t wish to admit it, that title of being hailed as the closest to Alchemy God Realm, it wasn’t joking around. You think about it yourself, apart from him, who else is capable of achieving such heights at this age?”
Gudao Zi was demotivated. Quanxing Zi’s words beat him down until he was black and blue all over.
“This can’t do, that won’t work either, then what in the world should we do?” Gudao Zi said rather frustratedly.
Quanxing Zi said helplessly, “Forget it, forget it, you brat producing such a great commotion, isn’t it in order to force me to go look for Cloudsky? I’ll go, alright?”
…
Quanxing Zi did not hesitate and immediately came over to find Cloudsky.
Cloudsky could choose not to give Ye Yuan face and avoid meeting him, but towards Quanxing Zi, he was unable to ignore.
For the Holy Region to have such a flourishing situation today, the Alchemist Association contributed immensely.
Furthermore, the Alchemist Association spanned the entire Divine Realm. From a certain degree, it controlled every corner of the Divine Realm.
This was another type of reigning method, but it was very effective.
Putting aside official business, Cloudsky himself also had to look for Quanxing Zi for help.
The medicinal pills that his level required, only Quanxing Zi could refine them. If they really pressed the Alchemist Association into a corner, the Holy City would also not be able to bear the consequences.
Upon meeting, Quanxing Zi had a stomach full of grievances.
“Cloudsky, the matter outside is stirred up so significantly, don’t tell me that you don’t know anything at all! I say, what’s your idea here? Could it be that the association’s reputation getting damaged have benefits to the Holy City?” Quanxing Zi said with a black face.
Cloudsky originally still had the idea of sitting it out and watching the tigers fight. But did not think that the Alchemist Association did not even let out a fart, and Quanxing Zi immediately rushed over already.
“Haha, old chap, don’t be agitated! How can this Cloud have that intention? I even thought that you had immediately come out and bring down that punk’s prestige! Isn’t this a chance to walk with your head held high to you guys?” Cloudsky said with a laugh.
It was fine if Cloudsky did not say it, the moment he said it, Quanxing Zi became even more incensed.
“Walk with my head held high my ass! What will I compete with him in? Competing in mystic grade medicinal pills? There are so many people at the Heavenly Saint Plaza, you want this old man to thicken the skin on my face to bully an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor?” Quanxing Zi said crossly.
Cloudsky said with an obsequious smile, “Then compete in Tier 9 medicinal pills! Old chap, could it be that your strength can’t beat a Third Level Dao Profound brat still? Even though he seized possession and revived, his reputation of a peak Alchemy Emperor is still there in any case. If you beat him, nobody would talk behind your back, right?”
Quanxing Zi darted him a glance and smiled coldly without speaking.
In front of Cloudsky, he could not very well say that he was not Ye Yuan’s match, right?
But him not speaking, the meaning was already very apparent.
The moment Cloudsky saw, he understood in his heart and could not help being very amazed as he said, “This brat is actually so formidable?”
Quanxing Zi said with a cold smile, “What do you think? Could it be that this old man doesn’t know such a simple logic either? Still need you to teach me?”
His meaning was that, if he could beat Ye Yuan, he would have long taken action. Why would he wait until now still?
Cloudsky was endlessly astonished in his heart. He knew about Ye Yuan’s commotion outside but did not pay attention as well.
Ye Yuan was merely Third Level Dao Profound currently. Even if he had his past life’s alchemy path strength, he could not unleash his full strength either.
A veteran guru like Quanxing Zi, dealing with him should not be an issue.
He did not expect that they had not competed yet, and Quanxing Zi already conceded straight away.
Ye Yuan reincarnating was merely just roughly 20 years. During these 20 years, he definitely placed most of his energy on the martial path.
Then the problem came, where did he have excess energy to continue studying alchemy Dao?
Seeing Cloudsky stay silent, Quanxing Zi said with a cold snort, “Cloudsky, I don’t care what method you use, send Ji Qingyun away for me! Otherwise, you can forget about taking away a single medicinal pill from the Alchemist Association from now onwards! This old man will do what I say! Goodbye!”
Quanxing Zi did not give Cloudsky a chance to speak either. Throwing down this sentence, he immediately left.
Cloudsky frowned for an instant and instructed people, “Call Guo Xu to invite Ye Yuan over! Immediately! At once!”
Chapter 1088. Who Has Your Attitude When Inviting People? |
When Guo Xu came to the Heavenly Saint Plaza, it was as unpleasant as having eaten a fly in his heart.
He really could not figure it out. Lord Cloudsky already said that he would not meet Ji Qingyun, so why would he made him come and find him again so anxiously?
Furthermore, he even had to have a pleasant countenance and be sure to invite over!
This … Wasn’t this wanting a person’s life?
Waves of shocked exclamations came from the Heavenly Saint Plaza from time to time. Those were all cries of shock due to Ye Yuan’s consummate alchemy skills.
Ye Yuan already refined for a day and night in the plaza and refined over 20 medicinal pills.
Even so, when those people saw Ye Yuan’s god-like alchemy skills, they still felt lost in wonder.
The refinement of a peak Alchemy Emperor was not what anyone could see.
Too newfangled!
“All move aside for me!” Guo Xu shouted fiercely in a cold voice.
Those Dao Profound powerhouses were all taken aback with fright by this roar. That Void Mystic Realm pressure immediately sent their displeasure packing.
Looking again, it was actually Guo Xu, the Purple-Gold Hall’s head seat. They were all incredibly astonished.
Especially those Dao Profound Realm martial artists that had not reached their turn yet. Each and everyone could not help crying bitterness without ceasing.
Looking at Guo Xu’s appearance, it was clearly coming to find trouble. It seemed like the Holy City finally could not resist and was going to intervene.
This way, wouldn’t their medicinal pills have no way of refining anymore?
Guo Xu parted the crowd and came before Ye Yuan, but he was immediately stopped by Ao Qian.
Guo Xu’s brows furrowed and he said icily, “What? This place is the Holy City. You dare to act wildly here?”
Ao Qian said with a disdainful look, “A baby whose hair hasn’t grown fully, using the Holy City to scare your Grandpa Ao? Your father will act wildly today, so what about it? If you dare to interrupt His Excellency’s pill refinement, do you believe that your father will pummel you until even your mother can’t recognize you?”
“Hiss …”
Everyone drew a cold breath of air. Someone who dared to be so rampant in the Holy City, this was still their first time seeing.
Guo Xu was the Purple-Gold Hall’s head disciple. Furthermore, he was a Void Mystic powerhouse. It was basically able to represent the Holy City’s attitude already.
Moreover, they all knew that this Purple-Gold Hall’s head disciple was not so easy-going.
Just as everyone thought that Guo Xu was going to explode, something that made their eyes fall out happened.
At first, Guo Xu really blew his top. But upon recalling Lord Cloudsky’s words, he forcefully suppressed his fury and said in a cold voice, “Then I’ll wait for him to finish refining!”
Done talking, Guo Xu hugged his sword and retreated to one side and stared at Ye Yuan refining pills coldly.
Eyeballs dropped onto the floor!
When did the Guo Xu whose arrogance reached the clouds become so nice to talk to?
Ao Qian looked at him and similarly said with a cold smile, “Good that you’re sensible!”
By the side, Guo Xu’s expression gradually became solemn as he watched Ye Yuan refine pills.
He had seen before Ye Yuan refine pills. But the current Ye Yuan seemed to be even more formidable than compared to the past!
Prior to this, Cloudsky called him over and said a whole bunch to his face, but did not give a reason to invite Ye Yuan over.
But now, he seemed to somewhat understand!
Even though Guo Xu was conceited, he was also an extremely intelligent person. Guessing it to the Alchemist Association delaying in taking action, then linking it to Cloudsky’s change in attitude, he finally figured it out.
But letting him come and invite Ye Yuan, he was still a hundred times unwilling.
Without a doubt, Ye Yuan definitely would not give him a good attitude in a short while.
Ye Yuan seemed to spend significantly more time compared to before when refining this medicinal pill.
Originally, he required roughly four hours to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill, even lesser time.
But this medicinal pill was already refined for a full four hours!
Guo Xu was restless and uneasy by the side but was powerless to do anything.
He did not know, but the other martial artists all saw through it. Ye Yuan was deliberately hanging him out to dry.
Finally, this medicinal pill was done.
Guo Xu whose patience was already wearing thin already immediately stepped forward, stopped Ye Yuan, and he said with a somber look, “Ji Qingyun, may I have a word with you?”
However, it was like Ye Yuan did not see him, circling right past him and came to the side of a Dao Profound Realm martial artist, giving the medicinal pill to the other party cordially.
