Unrivaled Medicine God, page 55
Of course, there was still a tiny bit of resentment after the blaming.
If it were somebody else, they would probably have wild ideas after hearing her say these sort of words. But Ye Yuan did not seem to be moved. This involuntarily made Feng Ruoqing question her charm.
"Quickly tell what method you have!" Feng Ruoqing said anxiously.
"En. Actually, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng's biggest problem is that the cultivation law she's training in does not match well with her physique. If you want to resolve this issue, the crux lies in the words 'Yin-Yang Harmony'!" Ye Yuan said.
"Yin-Yang Harmony?" Feng Ruoqing pondered over these words and shook her head. It was clear that she still did not understand what Ye Yuan was saying.
Ye Yuan continued explaining, "Due to the cultivation law, it caused Senior Apprentice Sister Feng's bodily Yang qi to be overly excessive. Thus, it resulted in her body being very averse to essence energy. Under these circumstances, continuing to cultivate her original cultivation law would definitely pile one disaster after another. The best method is naturally to disperse her cultivation, and re-cultivate by selecting a cultivation law suited to her physique."
Feng Ruoqing frowned and said, "So the method you said referred to this! Zhirou is currently at her prime time of cultivation. The moment she disperses her cultivation to re-cultivate, all these years of hard work would have been completely wasted. What's more, it would also delay cultivation. Even if I go talk to her, it's impossible for her to agree to it. This is even worse than killing her."
Ye Yuan nodded unconcernedly and continued, "Alright. Since that's the case, we can only use another method. It's just that this method will make Senior Apprentice Sister Feng's future martial arts road become even more challenging. Of course, once she succeeds in cultivating, her strength would also greatly surpass same-rank martial artists."
Feng Ruoqing's eyes lit up as she asked, "What method?"
"Let Senior Apprentice Sister Feng select a gentle Yin attribute cultivation law, and start training both cultivation laws at the same time right away! Just now, I said that the crux lies in the words 'Yin-Yang Harmony.' As long as the essence energy within her body reaches Yin-Yang harmony standard, all the problems will be easily solved."
"So it can actually be done like that? Great!" Feng Ruoqing was overjoyed when she heard that.
"Don't be happy so soon, Teacher Feng."
"Why?"
"Although this method can resolve Senior Apprentice Sister Feng's problem, the requirement towards cultivation law is very high. The two cultivation laws must complement each other and work in concert. Using this method, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng must temporarily suspend the cultivation law she is currently training in, and cultivate another cultivation law to the same level. Mm, even with Senior Apprentice Sister Feng's talent, it will probably still take a year or so. That is to say, within this one year, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng will not advance at all!"
Hearing that, Feng Ruoqing did not mind at all and then said, "That's also something that can't be helped. This is much better than dispersing her cultivation. I will head back right away to help Zhirou select a suitable cultivation law!"
After that, Feng Ruoqing turned around and got ready to leave.
Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Wait!"
"Is there anything else? Zhirou must have been very depressed over this matter these few days. I got to hurry and find her." Feng Ruoqing was also torn with anxiety.
Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, " An anxious heart can't eat hot tofu. 1 This thing can't be resolved in one or two days. Even if you go right now, you also can't help much."
"But . . ."
"Not that I'm scaring Teacher Feng, but the selection of cultivation law needs to be extremely particular. If the selected cultivation law is unable to complement her existing cultivation law, the problems it would cause in the future would be even greater than now!"
"Ah? Then . . . what should I do?" Feng Ruoqing was at a loss.
"I wonder if Teacher Feng has the jade slip of the cultivation law that Senior Apprentice Sister trained in."
"This . . . I have it at my residence, I'll go get it for you straight away." Feng Ruoqing hesitated for a moment but still agreed.
Ye Yuan clearly wanted to look at this cultivation law. This was a taboo for martial artists. However, Feng Ruoqing thought about the master behind Ye Yuan and felt at ease.
For Ye Yuan to improve at such a godlike speed, how could his cultivation law possibly be lower grade than the cultivation law Feng Zhirou trained in?
Not only was it not lower, but it was also even several grades higher!
Feng Ruoqing cracked her head thinking about it, but could not imagine just what cultivation law could let a person cultivate from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in one month plus time!
Even though there were many fortuitous encounters in between, it was crystal clear that Ye Yuan's cultivation law was extremely powerful.
Ye Yuan nodded, and Feng Ruoqing returned to her place to retrieve the cultivation law.
Not long after Feng Ruoqing left, Tang Yu came as well.
"Congratulations for successfully clearing the Nine Heavens Road, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye! You became the first person in the Dan Wu Academy's thousand-year history to have made it through at the Essence Qi Realm!" Tang Yu congratulated from the bottom of his heart.
He clearly only knew Ye Yuan for a month plus, yet Tang Yu felt like an epoch had passed.
Ye Yuan spent merely just over a month to go from Junior Apprentice Brother Ye to Senior Apprentice Brother Ye.
The current Ye Yuan was already an existence which he had to look up to.
But Ye Yuan did not alienate Tang Yu just because their distance was pulled apart. He smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother Tang. I was also forced into it with no other alternatives. It was just luck."
Tang Yu also greeted Huyan Yong, then he sat down beside Ye Yuan and said, "Other than coming to congratulate Senior Apprentice Brother, I also brought some news which I believe Senior Apprentice Brother Ye will be interested in."
"Oh? Pray tell, Brother Tang." Ye Yuan had his curiosity aroused by Tang Yu's words.
"Today, I was also watching Senior Apprentice Brother Ye challenging the Nine Heavens Road in the crowd and happened to coincidentally see Wan Yuan. Back then, he wasn't far from me, and I was also aware that he was at loggerheads with you, so I kept an eye out. Just as Brother Ye broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in the second stage, Wan Yuan quietly slipped out of the crowd. Seeing the situation, I also secretly tagged along. But I discovered that he didn't return to his residence. Instead, he directly left the academy!" Tang Yu said.
Chapter 108. Retreating in Fear from a Single Sword |
"Ran away? What a cowardly fellow." Ye Yuan was stupefied when he heard that.
"Apologies, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. Tang Yu's abilities are paltry and could not detain him. I could only watch him get away," Tang Yu said in shame.
Although he did not show it, Tang Yu felt that he was seriously useless right now.
So many things had happened to Ye Yuan recently, yet he could not help with a single one of them.
At present, Wan Yuan was already like an ant which could be crushed to death with one hand to Ye Yuan. But to Tang Yu, he was as sturdy as the high mountains.
Tang Yu was aware that Wan Yuan was Ye Yuan's sworn enemy, yet he could only watch him get away powerlessly. This made him feel a deep sense of helplessness and shame.
Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "Don't mind it, Brother Tang. Wan Yuan is just a dancing clown. I'll let him live a few days longer. After I return from the Endless Forest, I will settle him along with his father!"
When he returns from the Endless Forest, his father Ye Hang would just about to exit seclusion as well!
At that time, the two of them, father and son, would join hands to give the entire State of Qin an enormous surprise!
But when Tang Yu heard it, he was secretly speechless. Senior Apprentice Brother Ye was indeed still so domineering. Most likely, not a single soul in the State of Qin dared to say they would settle Wan Donghai, yet he said it so naturally.
Ye Yuan was somebody who refused to suffer any grievances and never embraced the creed where it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. His creed was that a gentleman would take revenge immediately!
Fei Qingping nearly caused him to die. Killed!
Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng made Lu-er end up like that. Ye Yuan disregarded the rules and just killed them!
No Essence Qi Realm had even made it past the Nine Heavens Road. Ye Yuan cleared it just like that!
Only such a life was satisfying!
Tang Yu also wished for such a life, but not everybody could live such a life.
Only a heaven-defying existence like Ye Yuan could have the capability to live such a life.
Wan Yuan was clearly frightened by Ye Yuan, which was why he fled in a panic!
Under such circumstances, Wan Yuan could only rely on the academy's rules. But the rules were only ornamental to Ye Yuan.
Right now, Ye Yuan was simply a maniac. Since he dared to kill Zhang Heng and dared to kill Lin Tiancheng, he naturally would dare to kill him, Wan Yuan!
In fact, the grudge between Wan Yuan and Ye Yuan was much greater than Lin Tiancheng's!
Hence, he did not even wait for the final result before fleeing.
Wan Yuan feared that he would not be able to escape after the result came out.
"Actually, there's another matter, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. I don't know if I should say it or not," Tang Yu said.
"Why are you treating me like a stranger, Brother Tang? If there's anything, just say it."
"I always felt that it was a little strange for Lin Tiancheng to target Miss Lu-er. Logically speaking, Lin Tiancheng only had a small dispute with you back at the Illusionary Spirit Tower, and should not go as far as to be so malicious. So I wondered if there was more than meets the eye to this matter. Thus, I have been investigating the whole course of this incident, and the result was that I really managed to dig something out," Tang Yu said.
When Ye Yuan killed Zhang Heng and Lin Tiancheng, he was in a violent rage, so he did not think too much then. He just thought that Lin Tiancheng bore a grudge because of the incident at the Illusionary Spirit Tower.
Now that he thought carefully, although he made Lin Tiancheng lose face outside of the Illusionary Spirit Tower, it was not to the extent where the other had to die.
However, Zhang Heng's actions had clearly gone beyond the bottom line, making things somewhat illogical.
Ye Yuan also did not think that there was actually another hidden plot to this incident.
"Brother Tang means . . . Wan Yuan?" Ye Yuan quickly suspected Wan Yuan.
Tang Yu nodded his head and said, "That's right! Somebody saw Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui going to find Lin Tiancheng after the Illusionary Spirit Tower test ended. Of course, there's already no way of finding out what they talked about at that time."
"No need to investigate. It was definitely them making trouble! Even though I clashed with Lin Tiancheng during the Illusionary Spirit Tower test, it hadn't reached the point where the other party must die. Lin Tiancheng was originally a narrow-minded person. With them sowing discord, he naturally harbored resentment in his heart. It wouldn't be strange for him to do something like that." Ye Yuan's face gradually became darker.
"But Wan Yuan already escaped. What to do now?" Tang Yu asked.
"Let him be first. Right now, the most important thing is Lu-er's matter. I'll deal with him after I return from the Endless Forest! However, this Liu Ruoshui really has a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions! If I'm not wrong, the idea of messing with Lu-er came from her!" Ye Yuan words were brimming with killing intent.
"A woman's heart is the most vicious! Most likely, it refers to these sort of woman like her," Tang Yu said.
Ye Yuan stood up, and then he said nonchalantly, "I'm going out for a while."
Then he directly left.
Watching Ye Yuan' back view, Huyan Yong said helplessly, "This rascal really can't stop even for a moment!"
Tang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye just has a personality where gratitude and resentment are clearly distinguished. If others are good to him, he will be ten times nicer. If others are bad to him, he will also pay back tenfold!"
"Sigh, if he wants to cause trouble, so be it. He made it past the Nine Heavens Road, so he's already equivalent to the high sect's core disciple. I think Su Yubai wouldn't dare to act recklessly either," Huyan Yong said with a sigh.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan had just stepped out the door when he was blocked by somebody. The person was Wu Luochen who previously arranged a battle with Ye Yuan.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you are truly impressive. You actually made it through the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm!" The moment he saw Ye Yuan, Wu Luochen praised in admiration.
"So, it's Senior Apprentice Brother Wu. The Nine Heavens Road was just luck, didn't count as much," Ye Yuan replied while controlling his impatience.
Ye Yuan knew that Wu Luochen came to find him to compete. But how could he think about fighting with Wu Luochen at the moment?
"Heh heh, I believe Brother Ye has already guessed why this Wu came here. Since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye cleared the Nine Heavens Road and broke through to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, you definitely possess the power of a Heaven Rank student! I wonder if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can fulfill the agreement back then and fight with me?" Wu Luochen did not conceal his intentions at all and openly stated it.
"Apologies, Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, this little brother has something to attend to right now. If Brother Wu wants to battle, please choose another date." Ye Yuan directly rejected him.
Wu Luochen immediately lost his cool when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "How can that do? I know that you're definitely about to enter seclusion to consolidate your cultivation realm. Two days later, it's also the Endless Trials. Who knows how long this wait will last! We should just pick today rather than choosing a date!"
Wu Luochen's eyes were full of hope, and he looked like he was raring to go.
To someone like Wu Luochen, fighting was his life's everything!
Ye Yuan could only say helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, if I recall correctly, our agreement back then was to wait until I advance to Heaven rank before competing, right? But I'm still an Earth rank student presently. If Senior Apprentice Brother Wu is so forceful, wouldn't you be in suspicion of the strong bullying the weak?"
"This . . . But Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's battle capabilities are shocking. Although you are still at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, your strength is definitely not beneath Heaven rank students already, right? From my perspective, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can definitely ascend the Martial Roll of Honor now with your strength, and your ranking might not be below mine!" Wu Luochen was not so easily hoodwinked.
Ye Yuan was anxious to find Liu Ruoshui, yet he was held back by Wu Luochen. So he was very annoyed and could not resist saying, "Fine. As long as Senior Apprentice Brother Wu receives one sword head-on from me, what's the harm in competing with you?"
Wu Luochen's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's real! Remember, it's receiving it head-on! If you dodge, then forgive me for not keeping you company!" Ye Yuan emphasized.
"Haha! No harm! Come on!" Wu Luochen guffawed heartily.
Ye Yuan retrieved the Canghua Sword from his storage ring and unleashed a fused sword intent straight away!
Wu Luochen initially was still full of smiles, but right now, his facial expression quickly changed. That horrifying sword intent practically asphyxiated him!
How could such a sword intent possibly be received head-on?
Wu Luochen hastily revolved his movement technique and dodged that sword.

A little earlier, at the back of the mountain, in the courtyard of the Heaven rank student, Su Yishan; Seemingly in panic, Liu Ruoshui looked at Su Yishan who was in front of her.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Su, right now, you are the only one who can save me in the entire academy! I beg you, help me!"
Liu Ruoshui had never been so helpless even when facing all manners of disregard from her family clan!
After Ye Yuan succeeded in clearing the Nine Heavens Road, Liu Ruoshui felt totally uneasy. She went to Wan Yuan's residence in a lost manner wanting to find him to discuss countermeasures.
But when she arrived at Wan Yuan's residence, she discovered that Wan Yuan was not even there.
At the start, Liu Ruoshui thought that Wan Yuan did not return because of some matters. But after waiting, and waiting, and still nothing, she went to ask the other students, but none of them saw Wan Yuan.
Liu Ruoshui suddenly felt a bad premonition.
As expected, only after Liu Ruoshui inquired from the students guarding the gates did she find out that Wan Yuan had left the academy long ago.
Liu Ruoshui 'greeted' eight generations of Wan Yuan's ancestors in her heart, but this was of no use to her at all.
What if Ye Yuan vented all of his anger on her because he could not find Wan Yuan? Then she was finished!
After cursing, Liu Ruoshui felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Ye Yuan's strength had already steadily advanced into the ranks of the Heaven rank students. Wanting to kill her was as easy as flipping his hand!
Liu Ruoshui still had some rallying power among the lower ranking students, but as for Heaven Rank students . . .
Liu Ruoshui suddenly had a burst of inspiration and thought of Su Yishan. She felt that she had grasped her last life-saving straw!
Back when Wan Yuan was injured, Su Yishan once said that he was going to kill Ye Yuan. It looked like their grudge was not small.
