Unrivaled Medicine God, page 565
The moment Lian Qiu came out, a merman came up to greet, kneeling down with a thud, slapping his own face desperately. But it gave her a fright.
This merman, Lian Qiu was naturally familiar. It was her direct superior who had no lack of bullying her normally.
But now, he was kneeling in front of her like a dead dog.
This sort of change made Lian Qiu have a feeling like she was dreaming.
Lian Qiu suddenly realized that the current her actually already had the power to control the life and death of the people who bullied her originally.
However, Lian Qiu was still that kind-hearted little girl. She attempted to pull a long face and said, “The past matters, forget about it! But, if you let me discover that you bully my sisters, I definitely won’t let you off!”
It was like that merman was granted amnesty, and he hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes! Lord Lian Qiu, rest assured. I won’t dare anymore in the future, won’t dare anymore in the future!”
Those waiting for Lian Qiu were not just that one. When the others saw Lian Qiu spare that merman, they all scurried out all at once.
There were those who fawned on her, those who begged for forgiveness, those who relied on connections to request for help, so on and so forth.
Lian Qiu did not refuse the arrivals, handling them one by one.
But she deeply sensed that she really seemed to be different already.
And all of this was bestowed upon by that man!
Lian Qiu thanked Ye Yuan from the bottom of her heart.
…
After Lian Qiu left, High Priest Li followed Ye Yuan into the room subserviently.
Seeing Ye Yuan sit down, High Priest Li did his utmost to please and actually took the initiative to pour tea for Ye Yuan!
If this scene were to be seen by other people, their eyeballs would probably fall out.
The fiery-tempered high priest actually served tea for someone!
Ye Yuan received the tea that Li passed over and said coolly, “Whatever you don’t understand, ask away. If your appearance was seen by your clansmen, wouldn’t they exterminate this young man?”
Li glared and said angrily, “They dare?!”
Immediately after, he changed to another expression and asked carefully, “That Demon Whirl Pill … how can it be refined like that still?”
Ye Yuan smiled and countered with a question, “Why can’t it be refined like that? However … with your Alchemy Dao’s standard, better don’t think anymore for the time being.”
Ye Yuan’s pinnacle refinement was established on his extremely solid foundational skills.
This level of refinement was not what anybody could achieve.
Disregarding other things, for Li to want to refine a Demon Whirl Pill, it needed at the very least three days and above too.
But Ye Yuan only used two hours plus and was done.
It was also precisely because of the refinement this time that Li knew how great the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was!
Although he did not wish to acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master due to face, if he was able to obtain Ye Yuan’s guidance, it could let him glean considerable benefits.
Chapter 1155. Deducing Pill Formula |
“Shark One, this matter, you did very well! Letting you go to the Nine Phoenix Island was truly a wise decision! This Master Ye, this king is satisfied to the extreme!”
Witnessing Ye Yuan’s strength, Tong’s tightly knitted brows finally eased up.
He had heard that the high priest had been hanging around Master Ye constantly these two days like a little attendant, just missing calling Master, this word.
Shark One smiled simple and honestly when he heard that and said, “Your Majesty is too kind! This … The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill hasn’t been refined yet. Shark One doesn’t dare to claim the credit.”
Towards Shark One, Tong was extremely satisfied.
Seeing that Shark One was actually so modest, he felt even more pleasing to the eyes no matter how one looked.
“En, if Xun-er is able to recover this time, I’ll reward you to enter the ancestral land and comprehend divine inscriptions!” Tong said in great delight.
The moment Shark One heard, his heart involuntarily raced wildly.
A powerful tribe like the merfolk clan, their ancestors had Deity Realm powerhouses too. Their legacies were preserved very wholly.
But this inheritance could not be exhausted without moderation.
The quotas for entering the ancestral land each time were extremely limited too.
With Shark One’s present strength, it was not sufficient to enter the ancestral land at all.
But because he found Ye Yuan this time and obtained Tong’s approval, he actually obtained the reward of entering the ancestral grounds.
How could this not make him beside himself with joy?
“Th-Thank you very much, Your Majesty!” Shark One said agitatedly.
The clansmen all looked at Shark One with extreme envy, thinking inwardly that this guy really got lucky.
Tong waved his hand and said, “Sent the pill formula to Master Ye yet?”
Shark One said, “Already sent over. He said that starting tomorrow, he’s going to deduce the pill formula and go into seclusion for ten days’ time. In these ten days, nobody is allowed to disturb him!”
Tong nodded and said, “Okay! Tomorrow, you bring him to the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion for closed-seclusion, then personally guard there. Within ten days, nobody is allowed to disturb him!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Shark One received the order and left.
…
To Ye Yuan, refining a medicinal pill that he had never refined before was similarly a challenge.
The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was not an ordinary mystic grade medicinal pill. The difficulty of refining was rather great.
This point, he was perfectly clear.
Li was also considered to have barely managed to touch the threshold of peak alchemy emperor. But with his strength, he did not even have 5% assurance.
If not for so, Tong would not have been to the point of being so hopeless too.
With inner core being broken, it was equivalent to a human martial artist’s dantian being broken. One was basically equivalent to a cripple already.
However, not only was this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill able to repair the inner core, it could even recover 50% of the demon’s strength!
The other 50%, as long as one spent a hundred years, they could still cultivate it back.
Of course, this was only the medicinal effect of a high-grade Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill.
As for superior-grade, even transcendent-grade, the merfolk clan did not dare to hope at all.
After all, this kind of obscure to the extreme, as well as extremely high refining difficulty medicinal pill, barely anyone could refine it in the world too.
High-grade was already the most ideal circumstance.
“The alchemist who created the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was truly a rare talent! The medicinal pills that this medicinal pill requires are not very heaven-defying, but it can unleash such a heaven-defying effect! This pill formula let me glean considerable benefits! To be able to utilize mystic grade medicinal pills to such a transcendent degree, it has to be none other than a Deity Realm powerhouse! Looks like the alchemy path is boundless!”
Researching the pill formula, Ye Yuan praised the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill to no end as well.
This ingenuity of this pill formula’s design, even Ye Yuan could only see the dust of the rider ahead too.
In this world, a pill formula that even he was unable to keep pace with, it absolutely originated from the hands of a Deity Realm powerhouse.
“Heh, if not for comprehending the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, wanting to refine this medicinal pill would probably really be not too easy. One can only say that that Shark Xun had good fortune.” Ye Yuan started laughing to himself.
After marveling for a while, Ye Yuan started to officially deduce the pill formula!
To refined a mystic grade medicinal pill, the spirit medicines required were not cabbages.
Even if Ye Yuan scoured the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden, he only had one set of medicinal herbs on his hands too.
Looking according to the medicinal herb quantities on the pill formula, it was barely enough to use to refine twice.
However, even if it was two refinements, to an alchemist, it was still a tremendous endeavor.
Ye Yuan’s soul force slowly spread out. His sea of consciousness was revolving at high speed, deducing each detail of the medicinal pill’s refinement.
At this time, Ye Yuan was enveloped in a ball of golden light. This was the profound and mysterious power of Divine Dao laws!
For the first time refinement of a pill formula, deduction was a very important thing.
The success rate of the refinement had the most direct relations with whether or not the deducing succeeded.
However, this was not a simple task!
Mystic grade medicinal pills could be said to have myriad changes in an instant during the process of refinement.
Wanting to deduce the pill formula fully, the calculations that one needed to go through, that was an astronomical magnitude.
For ordinary alchemists, just this magnitude of calculations was sufficient to make them breakdown.
There were even some top-tier alchemists who became mentally-handicapped because of forcefully deducing pill formulas!
Such examples were not unavailable!
This Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill could be said to be one of the pinnacle-most mystic grade medicinal pills. The calculation load required in it was simply immeasurable.
Following the deduction getting deeper and deeper, Ye Yuan’s brows also gradually knitted together tightly.
The pill formula created by a Deity Realm powerhouse was indeed not that easy to work out.
If not for Ye Yuan comprehending the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, wanting to deduce this pill formula was probably not that easy of a matter.
Time slowly trickled by. Ye Yuan was already completely immersed in contemplating the pill formula, having no stray thoughts in his mind.
While outside the door, Shark One was like an ant on a hot pan.
Whether or not Ye Yuan’s refinement succeed concerned whether he could have the chance to comprehend divine inscriptions.
This opportunity was too important to him!
“I say, can you stop pacing around anymore or not! Moving to and fro, you’re swaying until my eyes are dizzy!” Li said crossly.
Shark One had an awkward look, and he said with an obsequious smile, “High Priest, I … aren’t I nervous here? It’s already the tenth day, Master Ye … he hasn’t come out yet!”
Li shot him a glare and said, “Do you think deducing pill formulas is the same as cultivating cultivation skills? Let me tell you, if it were me going all out to deduce this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, I’ll definitely vomit blood and die!”
Shark One was startled when he heard that. He really did not know that deducing a pill formula actually had such severe consequences.
“N-No way, right? It’s just deducing a pill formula, there are such serious consequences? High Priest, didn’t you deduce this pill formula before too?” Shark One said in shock.
Li coughed dryly twice and said, “Deducing and deducing are different! My kind of deduction is only a crude deduction. I can’t even accomplish one-ten thousandth of a true deduction! But, wanting to use one set of medicinal herbs to refine successfully, even if one doesn’t carry out a 100% deduction, they need to deduce 90% too! That degree of deduction is sufficient to make a high-level Alchemy Emperor vomit blood and die! I only deduced one-ten thousandth and was already about to vomit blood!.
This version, it was still Shark One’s first time hearing. His face turned as pale as paper straight away.
He really did not know that deducing a pill formula was actually this perilous!
Chapter 1156. Refinement Failed! |
“High Priest, then … to what degree do you think Master Ye will deduce the formula to? He … Something wouldn’t have happened to him, right?” Shark One said worriedly.
“How is that possible? When alchemists are deducing pill formulas, they will naturally do their best! Those who truly pushed themselves to death were either fools or had no other options. How much Ye Yuan’s limit is, I really can’t say for sure. But I reckon that he has hopes of working it out to the extent of 30%, right?” Li thought about it and said, feeling rather uncertain.
The moment Shark One heard, he couldn’t help saying somewhat disappointedly, “Only 30%? Then … the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill most likely isn’t that easy to refine!”
The moment Li heard this, he suddenly burst into anger and said, “You fool! The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill is a pill formula left behind by a Deity Realm powerhouse! Being able to deduce 30% is already a heaven-defying existence!”
Shark One did not dare to rebut and mumbled, “I … Aren’t I worried that Master Ye can’t refine the medicinal pill here? Young Patriarch is waiting for the medicinal pill to save his life!”
Li calmed down too and heaved a sigh as he said, “Whether or not he can refine it out will depend on Xun-er’s luck! In my view, if even Ye Yuan can’t refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, probably no one can refine it in this world too.”
These few days, he followed behind Ye Yuan while fussing around and indeed learned quite a bit of stuff.
The extensiveness of Ye Yuan’s knowledge in alchemy made Li ashamed of his inferiority.
Although Li was hailed as one of the sea race’s strongest alchemists, compared to Ye Yuan, it was simply comparing a firefly to the full moon.
Just as the two people were sighing, the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion’s front door behind them opened with a creak.
Ye Yuan walked out in a calm manner.
“Apologies, I made you guys wait a long time. The mental strength expended from deducing the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was too great. I slept for three days and nights in one go,” Ye Yuan said with a guilty look.
In truth, he already finished deducing three days ago.
Just as Li said, deducing pill formulas exhausted mental strength too much. Hence, he dozed off for three days and nights.
Li had an expression like he had seen a ghost and said in surprise, “You’re done resting in three days? I previously deduced one-ten thousandth and rested for a full ten days before recovering!”
Honestly speaking, although Ye Yuan said closed-seclusion for ten days, Li actually did not have much faith for Ye Yuan to come out in just ten days.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “En, pretty much recovered.”
Li scooted over and asked, “Then, how much … did you deduce in seven days?”
“How much? Of course it’s deduced fully! Deducing all of it can’t even guarantee refining a finished medicinal pill. Not deducing fully, is there still any meaning?” Ye Yuan retorted with a question.
Li opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but did not know what he should say.
What was the meaning of fully?
100%?
This … was this really something that humans could do?
This guy must be bragging!
Yes, definitely bragging!
Ye Yuan’s alchemy skills, he was absolutely convinced.
But to say that Ye Yuan fully deduced the pill formula in seven days, he did not believe even if he was beaten to death!
Of course, he was totally unaware that not only did Ye Yuan’s heart realm reach the great circle of perfection, his calculation ability far surpassing normal people, his Alchemy Dao even comprehended Divine Dao laws.
Although the deduction was hard, it still could not stump Ye Yuan.
“Alright, begin refining the pill then. Heh, haven’t felt my blood boil like this for a long time! This Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill has enough of a kick!” Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.
To him, ordinary mystic grade medicinal pills were already unable to enter his arcane sights.
With his current alchemy strength, refining mystic grade medicinal pills would not be too troublesome.
But the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was different!
This medicinal pill successfully stirred up Ye Yuan’s wild fervor from the depths of his heart.
…
The Emerald Tranquil Pavilion was originally the pill refinement venue prepared for Ye Yuan. At this time, inside the hall of the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion, it was already packed with the merfolk clan’s powerhouses.
There was even a young merman lying horizontally in the great hall. It was precisely Young Patriarch Xun.
Toward these people surrounding and watching, Ye Yuan did not have much objection.
To him, once he entered the pill refinement state, he would concentrate 100% and do not need to be like others, chasing everyone away before they could maintain a peaceful state of mind.
Regarding Shark One finding Ye Yuan, Tong was still very gratified.
But when it really came down to the pill refinement, he became somewhat hesitant again.
Regarding, Ye Yuan’s strength, he already did not doubt in the slightest. But as the king, he was deeply aware of this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill’s terror.
Ever since Xun was injured, he was still unconscious until now.
His injuries already could not endure the time to find another set of spirit medicine.
If Ye Yuan’s refinement failed, then what awaited Xun was only death.
“High Priest, in your view … how much is Master Ye’s success rate?” Tong could not resist asking.
Li mused for a moment, but he finally still shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, it’s not that I’m speaking up for Ye Yuan, but wanting to refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill in two refinements is truly making it too hard on him! Although he said that he fully deduced the pill formula, deduction and refinement are two separate matters. Even if he really fully deduced the pill formula, wanting to succeed in two refinements, that’s virtually impossible!”
