Unrivaled Medicine God, page 592
“Ye Yuan pays respect to Senior Fang Tian!”
Fang Tian was thin and emaciated, his face without any color, looking just like a corpse.
Ye Yuan was proficient in medicinal knowledge and saw through at a glance, Fang Tian practically turned himself into a living corpse in order to extend his longevity.
Even so, he had also already reached the extent of oil giving out and the lamp expiring.
Fang Tian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a look of relief, “Good, good! Each new generation really excels over the old one! Back then, this old man glimpsed heaven’s secret, leaving the Vast Heaven Stele in the Endless World. Actually, I was very uncertain in my heart. I didn’t expect that it actually ran into a prodigious talent like you.”
Ye Yuan’s heart suddenly stirred and he opened his mouth and said, “Senior, could it be that … you’re the Heaven’s Secret Tower’s master? Also, that mysterious organization that resists the fiend race, could the mysterious powerhouse at the back be Senior?”
When Fang Tian heard that, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Long Teng similarly stroked his beard and smiled as he said, “Brother Fang, you lost our bet!”
Fang Tian laughed loudly and said, “Lost, I lost! However, this old man lost happily! For these 50 thousand years, this old man has never been so happy like today before. Cough, cough, cough …”
Fang Tian laughed too hard and actually started coughing fiercely.
Long Teng’s expression changed when he saw the situation. “Brother Fang!”
Fang Tian waved his hand and said, “No worries, this old man can’t live for long in the first place. Being able to see Ye Yuan grow up, I can die in peace too.”
“Ye Yuan!” Long Teng’s gaze involuntarily looked toward Ye Yuan and actually carried a pleading expression.
Ye Yuan was a peak Alchemy Emperor who grasped Divine Dao laws. If one wanted to save Fang Tian, nobody else was worthy except him.
Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and said, “Senior Fang Tian has probably already not taken action for many years in order to extend his life. This time, forcefully mobilizing essence energy, his vitality was used up. Even a divine pill likely has no power to turn the tables too!”
Long Teng’s entire body trembled when he heard that, his eyes revealing a look of hopelessness.
But Fang Tian smiled and said, “My old partner, at our ripe old age, can’t you see through it yet? Actually, I should have long died 50 thousand years ago. Being able to live until now is already a profit.”
Long Teng had a pained look as he said, “Seeing through life and death is easier said than done! Those Deity Realm powerhouses’ lifespans are easily several tens of thousands of years. They were probably unwilling to turn to dust as well, right?”
Fang Tian smiled and said, “Haha , what you said makes sense. This old man eked out a meager existence until this date, how is it not because I couldn’t bear to die too? But at present, my condition, death is a release for this old man.”
Ye Yuan held his tongue by the side. Towards this pair of old brothers’ feelings, he was able to understand.
Even if Fang Tian reached Half-Deity Realm, his lifespan would not increase by much either. At most, it was also just 20 thousand years of lifespan.
Being able to live until now, Fang Tian used god knows how many secret arts and suffered how much torment.
Ye Yuan thought about it and suddenly said, “I have a prescription. If it reaches arcane insight rank, it can help Senior Fang Tian extend his life for some time. But … at most, there’s also just three year’s time. Furthermore, within these three years, Senior Fang Tian mustn’t take action anymore. Otherwise, you’ll immediately lose your life!”
Ye Yuan’s words made Fang Tian and Long Teng’s eyes light up.
Chapter 1210. Unexpected Surprise! |
“Even three years, that is fine too!” Long Teng said with a look of anticipation.
Fang Tian had a look of anticipation too. At present, fiend calamity was erupting. Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo’s strength was even greater than in the past. Having him die just like this, he was really not willing.
Moreover, he and Long Teng did not meet for 50 thousand years. They finally managed to reunite. He did not wish to be separated by life and death from here on as well.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “I have a pill formula in my hands. It is called Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill. If ordinary martial artists consume it, extending longevity by 2000 years is no issue. It’s just that Senior Fang Tian’s current state, the effects are negligible. The spirit medicines that this pill formula requires are very rare too. I have the other spirit medicines in my hands. It’s just that one of the core medicines is a one-million-year-old Ghost Heavenly Incense. It’s hard to find in a short time.”
But Fang Tian laughed when he heard that and said, “These few years, in order to extend my life, this old man can be said to have employed every trick up my sleeves. If it’s spirit medicines, this old man found quite a few. I just happen to have this Ghost Heavenly Incense.”
Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression. The Ghost Heavenly Incense was a life-extending medicine to begin with. He reckoned that Fang Tian should have it in his hands, that was why he would say it.
Otherwise, if they could not find the spirit medicines and he said this kind of thing, wouldn’t it be an empty dream?
When Fang Tian saw Ye Yuan’s expression, he immediately understood in his heart and secretly thought to himself what formidable wits this boy had!
He had always been paying attention to Ye Yuan. But his understanding of Ye Yuan was mostly on the surface.
Only now, after actually meeting Ye Yuan, did he know that this boy was truly very different.
Ye Yuan put away the Ghost Heavenly Incense and bid farewell to the two people. “The two of you catch up on old times first. Ye Yuan will be right back!”
Looking at Ye Yuan’s departing back view, Fang Tian said with a vicissitude of emotion, “Old Partner, I had always prided myself on being exceptional. But only when I saw Ye Yuan did I know that there’s always someone better!”
Long Teng also stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Haha, honestly, I’ve never believed that under this present Heavenly Dao, there’s still someone capable of surpassing you, all the way until I met Ye Yuan! You don’t know how arrogant he was when he challenged the Vast Heaven Pagoda back then. But I just couldn’t do anything to him. This boy is simply a freak, refreshing my understanding of him again and again. Even until now, I also dare not say that I completely understand him.”
Fang Tian roared with laughter when he heard that and said, “Hahaha … with Ye Yuan around, perhaps my Divine Realm really have hope! It’s just too bad that he was born at the wrong time! If not for Heavenly Dao being deficient, he might be able to reach Senior Absolute Heaven, that kind of height!”
…
Two days later, the pill tribulation descended.
When Ye Yuan came out of the pill refinement room, it gave everyone a big fright.
The current Ye Yuan seemed to have had a great illness, looking very dispirited.
“Ye Yuan, you …” Long Teng said in surprise.
But Ye Yuan himself did not care at all and grinned as he said, “This Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill’s quality is a little better than I even imagined! Senior Fang Tian, quickly take it!”
Fang Tian received the medicinal pill and said with a touched expression, “Thank you, Ye Yuan!”
With Ye Yuan’s present realm, making himself like this when refining pills, it could be imagined how much effort he put in.
Probably even when refining pills for himself, Ye Yuan would not put so much effort either, right?
Fang Tian knew that this was Ye Yuan repaying him, and it was also out of respect towards him.
Of course, it was also likely on account of Long Teng’s face.
But without a doubt, Ye Yuan was a person who put ‘relationship’ above all!
Such a person was worthy entrusting to!
“Huhu, Senior is too polite! Extending your life until now, you suffered pain that ordinary people cannot imagine. It was all for the Divine Realm. Senior did earth-shaking major things that were unbeknownst to the public. Yet Senior doesn’t seek fame and wealth. Ye Yuan respects Senior deeply! It’s just a shame that Ye Yuan is powerless to save the situation,” Ye Yuan said regretfully.
Perhaps after cultivating Alchemy Dao to a certain boundary, one could really defy the heavens. But the current Ye Yuan was clearly not equipped with that kind of power.
A day later, Fang Tian completely refined the pill’s medicinal strength.
When he exited seclusion, Long Teng and Ye Yuan both looked at him with a look of anticipation.
The current Fang Tian, his complexion was much better than a few days ago.
On that close to zombified face earlier, now it actually had some additional color!
“How is it, Brother Fang?” Long Teng asked rather anxiously.
The specifics of what effects the medicinal pill had, only Fang Tian himself would know after he consumed it.
Fang Tian smiled mysteriously at this time but extended three fingers.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan’s face revealed a disappointed expression, and he said with a bitter smile, “In the end, can it only be three years?”
Long Teng was also depressed for a while but felt relieved very quickly. Patting Ye Yuan, he said, “Ye Yuan, you’ve already tried your best! With Brother Fang’s bodily condition, being able to extend longevity for three years is already a miracle.”
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, “Sigh, I thought that arcane insight rank … would ultimately be a little better!”
But Fang Tian chuckled and said happily, “Who told you guys three years? 30 years! Hahaha … Ye Yuan, your alchemy skills are simply heaven-defying! This old man’s battered body, you were actually even able to bring back from the dead! Truly broadened my horizons!”
Hearing these words, Ye Yuan himself was stunned too.
Long Teng was stupefied first, then was immediately overjoyed and said, “Brother Fang, really? You can’t tease this old man!”
Fang Tian laughed and said, “Bluff you for what! Ye Yuan only said three years’ time previously too. I didn’t harbor that much hope, feeling that being able to have one or two years is already very good. But, the more I refined the medicinal pill, the more shocked I became! This Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill simply seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. Not only did it recover most of the hidden injuries in my body, I even have 30 more years of lifespan out of thin air! How many years has it been, this old man has always suffered torment. Now, these pains were actually swept away clean! With this old man’s age, I even nearly jumped up just now!”
“Hahaha … it’s really too great! Ye Yuan, you’re also too conservative. Is this wanting to give this old man a whopping big surprise?” Long Teng said with a look of surprise.
Ye Yuan himself also felt very surprised. But seeing Fang Tian and Long Teng like so, he felt very happy too.
“Huhu, honestly speaking, I myself felt very surprised too. The power of the Medicine God’s Soul Canon somewhat exceeds my imagination! However, Senior Fang Tian, you still can’t employ essence energy right now. Otherwise, even immortals can’t save you!” Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
The more he dug into the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, the more Ye Yuan discovered the extensiveness and profoundness of this Divine Dao record.
Looks like his path of Alchemy Dao was also merely at the beginning!
Fang Tian smiled and said, “You can rest assured. This old man naturally knows this point. Previously giving Kanuo a heavy blow, I believe he won’t dare to anyhow make a move anymore either. At least, before his strength fully recovers, we should be safe!”
Ye Yuan said in surprise, “His strength already reached such a realm, it’s actually not fully recovered yet?”
Fang Tian said with vicissitudes of emotion, “A heavenly fiendgod’s strength is correspondent with Origin Deity Realm. This kind of existence, how could their strength be what we, mere mortals, are capable of imagining? In my view, his current strength at most also just recovered to around 70%. There’s still some distance away from full recovery!”
Chapter 1211. Pressed for Time |
“Senior Fang Tian, your current realm is …” Ye Yuan asked rather curiously.
That great battle before, he was in the middle of a coma and did not see it with his own eyes.
But for Fang Tian to be able to overpower Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo with his worn-out body, his grasp toward Divine Dao laws had probably already reached an unimaginable level.
Fang Tian smiled lightly and said, “If differentiating it according to the realms of Divine Dao, I should already be in the Heaven Glimpse Realm right now.”
Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath when he heard!
The Divine Dao three great realms: Grotto Profound, Heaven Glimpse, and Origin!
Fang Tian actually comprehended Divine Dao laws to the realm of Heaven Glimpse with Half-Deity Realm.
This talent was simply appalling to hear!
Ye Yuan was currently comprehending Divine Dao laws and knew the hardships involved.
Furthermore, Skydistant said before, the disparity between each major realm of Divine Dao, was even harder than cultivating from the Essence Qi Realm to Deity Realm added up!
Without the support of Divine Dao cultivation realm, wanting to comprehend Divine Dao laws was doubly difficult.
But Fang Tian actually relied on his own comprehension ability and forcefully comprehended Divine Dao laws to such a boundary. It could simply be rated as freakish!
“Senior is truly formidable! Ye Yuan admires!” Ye Yuan said from the bottom of his heart.
In these 100 thousand years, probably only Fang Tian alone was able to comprehend Divine Dao laws to such a realm, right?
It was just a shame that he currently had a dilapidated body. Otherwise, how could there be a chance for Kanuo to be cocky?
Ye Yuan was currently lost in thought and suddenly discovered that Fang Tian and Long Teng did not move.
He lifted his head and looked, and discovered that the two people were both using a strange gaze to look at him. He could not help asking curiously, “Two seniors are …”
Long Teng scolded with a laugh, “You brat, deliberately exasperating people, are you? To really talk about monstrous, probably nobody in this Divine Realm can compare to you, right?”
Fang Tian smiled and said, “This old man has already cultivated for several tens of thousands of years. But you only truly immersed in the martial path for 30 years, and your strength is already close to Zhuge Qingxuan’s. To really compete in talent, this old man probably isn’t even fit to carry your shoes!
Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, “Two seniors are too kind. Ye Yuan doesn’t mean that. It’s just that the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm is really far beyond reach to Ye Yuan!”
“Huhu, doesn’t this old man know you still?” Long Teng said with a smile.
But at this time, Fang Tian’s expression became serious, and he opened his mouth to say: “Ye Yuan, are you planning on going to the Godsfall Mountain Range?”
Ye Yuan was stupefied, not expecting that Fang Tian actually even knew about this.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s expression, Fang Tian smiled and explained, “Don’t you forget, this old man set up the Heaven’s Secret Tower!”
Ye Yuan said in puzzlement, “Could it be that Senior is really able to pry into heaven’s secrets?”
Fang Tian smiled and recounted the events back then.
It turned out that back then, Fang Tian’s and Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo’s paramount great battle was fought for a full nine days and nights.
This battle, truly fought until the heavens rend asunder and the earth cracked. Finally, both sides sustained heavy losses!
But at the end of this battle, Fang Tian and the heavenly fiendgod seemed to have triggered Heavenly Dao, and they actually experienced a trace of understanding!
Ever since then, Fang Tian and the heavenly fiendgod, both of them actually had the ability to divine heaven’s secrets.
The heavenly fiendgod was suppressed several times, and his strength did not recover fully in the first place.
This battle with Fang Tian, he even greatly damaged his vitality and actually directly slumbered for as long as several tens of thousands of years!
And Fang Tian also sustained serious injuries. He calculated heaven’s secrets. Hence he fled to the Endless World and left behind the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance, then entered the Godsfall Mountain Range himself!
Fang Tian pried into heaven’s secrets and calculated that his path of survival lay in this Godsfall Mountain Range.
In the Godsfall Mountain Range, Fang Tian chanced upon a fortuitous encounter and eventually prolonged his feeble existence until now.
Later, he calculated that the heavenly fiendgod was about to come into being. Hence, he also chose to leave the Godsfall Mountain Range, wanting to seek out the heavenly fiendgod.
But this time, the heavenly fiendgod became wiser.
Moreover, he similarly had the ability to pry into heaven’s secrets. Hence, the two people started to match powers in the dark, all the way until today!
After Ye Yuan heard, he sighed unceasingly too.
This confrontation that lasted 50 thousand years, the final landing point lied on him.
Fang Tian knew that he was already powerless to oppose the heavenly fiendgod. The reason why he chose to come into being was just in order to protect a phase in Ye Yuan’s journey!
This favor could be said to be heavy!
If not for Fang Tian’s 50 thousand years of eking out a meager existence, Ye Yuan would have already died in Kanuo’s hands several days ago.
Then no one would be able to stop Kanuo’s footsteps in the Divine Realm anymore.
“Then … is Senior able to divine whether this trip of mine will be successful or not?” Ye Yuan said.
