Unrivaled Medicine God, page 64
Feng Zhirou was about to ask again when Ye Yuan gestured with his hand to keep silent. He transmitted his voice, "There should be a type of herb in this cave called the Goodwall Flower. However, this flower tends to have Iron-Paw Flying Bears guarding it."
Feng Zhirou asked puzzledly, "Why do you know again?" 1
"Some precious herbs not only have associated beasts but also have associated plants. This stretch of blue sandalwood forest is the Goodwall Flower's accompanying plant. The blue sandalwood can secrete a type of liquid into the soil, and this liquid is precisely the Goodwall Flower's nourishment!" Ye Yuan explained.
Hearing Ye Yuan's explanation, Feng Zhirou was dumbstruck.
She felt that Ye Yuan was simply omniscient and omnipotent. Just merely passing by a stretch of blue sandalwood forest and he actually discovered the highly rare Goodwall Flower.
As an alchemist, Feng Zhirou naturally heard of the Goodwall Flower. It was a very rare Tier 2 medicinal herb.
Except that the Herbal Essentials did not describe the Goodwall Flower in detail. Clearly, the author Li Shizhen himself was unclear of the source and use of this flower. 2
Something which an Alchemy Sovereign did not even understand, yet Ye Yuan could enumerate it like his family's treasures. Just what kind of heaven-defying existence was that teacher behind him?!
Ignoring that teacher, Ye Yuan himself was only 15 years old. What kind of genius could learn so many things when they were 15?
However, Feng Zhirou would only keep her astonishment a secret. Her mouth was condescending, and she said, "You know a lot huh?! In a while, if we can't find these Goodwall Flowers, let's see what you have to say."
Ye Yuan smiled and did not clarify. He transmitted his voice to her, "Later, you lure the Iron-Paw Flying Bear away. I'll go and retrieve the herb."
Feng Zhirou immediately frowned heavily when she heard that and even forget to transmit her voice as she responded indignantly, "Are you mistaken, Ye Yuan? You are a grown man yet you keep making women do dangerous things! Go if you want, I'm not going!"
Ye Yuan gave an innocent look and said, "You came to protect me, Senior Apprentice Sister. Can you bear to watch me go and die? An Iron Paw Flying Bear is a Tier 2 demonic beasts with high speed and great strength. If I go, it's equal to casting away my life!"
"I don't care. Either way, I'm not going!" Feng Zhirou's willfulness acted up.
"Roar!"
Right then, a huge roar sounded out. The pair's arguing sounds startled the Iron Paw Flying bear inside the cave!
A colossal figure gradually appeared from the pitch black cave with a body full of fur. It was precisely an adult Iron Paw Flying Bear.
"Damn, we alerted the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Quickly run!" Feng Zhirou shrieked and turned around to run away.
After running a few steps, Feng Zhirou suddenly realized that something was wrong. Turning back, she found out that Ye Yuan did not even move!
"What are you standing stupidly there for, Ye Yuan? Quickly run! We aren't a match for the Iron Paw Flying Bear!" Feng Zhirou yelled.
Iron Paw Flying Bears had very explosive tempers. Seeing Ye Yuan stand there without moving at all, it swiftly locked onto him.
Whoosh!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear roared again and pounced at Ye Yuan with lightning speed.
But Ye Yuan remained motionless right there like he was scared silly.
Feng Zhirou did not expect that this sort of situation would occur. The Iron Paw Flying Bear's attack power was very strong. If its palm landed fully, how could Ye Yuan survive?
Although Feng Zhirou liked to bicker with Ye Yuan, it did not mean that she could really watch Ye Yuan die like that.
In a blink of an eye, the Iron Paw Flying Bear already crossed several dozen meters. That titanic bear paw already smacked down towards Ye Yuan.
Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and shot towards Ye Yuan with her movement technique at full blast.
Ding!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear and Feng Zhirou's sword had intimate contact and actually released intense metal scratching sounds with sparks!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear's bear paw was brushed away, but Feng Zhirou retreated several steps in succession. A surge of blood swelled in her chest.
The name of Iron Paw of the Iron Paw Flying Bear was well-deserved. The strength of a pair of bear paws was actually comparable to magic artifacts!
Feng Zhirou's sword was naturally a rare high-rank magic artifact. But it was actually unable to leave any injury on the bear paw!
Right then, Ye Yuan turned around to look at Feng Zhirou. He smiled and said, "Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Feng for saving me. Since you're already matched up, then I'll have to trouble you to lure it away."
"You! You actually made use of me!" Feng Zhirou was exasperated. Only now did she react to being tricked by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was not unable to evade, but he deliberately did not dodge just to wait for her to come back and save him.
Now was clearly not the time to chat. The Iron Paw Flying Bear already arrived in front of their eyes. Wanting to run away now was useless.
Since it was named Iron Paw Flying Bear, it could be seen that it was big but not clumsy. It had extremely swift movements.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear seemed to be enraged. It howled again but disregarded Ye Yuan and pounced towards Feng Zhirou.
Feng Zhirou swept a cold glance at Ye Yuan and said, "I'll settle the score with you later! Humph!"
Finishing, Feng Zhirou carried her sword and turned around, speeding out far away.
Ye Yuan chuckled and yelled at Feng Zhirou's back, "Be careful, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!"
After that, Ye Yuan walked over to the cave without hurrying at all.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear had an enormous build. The cave it chose was naturally very spacious.
The cave was not deep. Ye Yuan entered the cave and quickly found the Goodwall Flower. In fact, there were a total of several hundred stalks!
"Haha! With these Goodwall Flowers, I can nurture at least several hundred Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses! Such luxury!" Ye Yuan also did not expect that this cave had so many Goodwall Flowers inside.
The reason why Ye Yuan was unwilling to give up on these Goodwall Flowers was primarily because of the promise he made to Huyan Yong previously.
Back then, Feng Ruoqing guessed some parts. But she did not think that Ye Yuan could honor that promise so quickly.
The big gift Ye Yuan wanted to give Huyan Yong back then was to help him enter the Crystal Formation Realm!
Do not look at how Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was just that teeny bit away from Crystal Formation Realm. That little bit was so near, yet poles apart!
To the vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, the end point of their martial path was the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm was absolutely like a thousand man army and ten thousand horses crossing a single log bridge. It was extremely difficult!
One had to know that it had already been over a dozen years since Su Yubai was stuck at half-step Crystal Formation Realm. Yet, he was unable to take that step. The difficulty of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm could be imagined.
According to Ye Yuan's observations, Huyan Yong had the hope of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm. It was just hard to determine the time.
With his help, Huyan Yong could shorten this step by at least 30 years!
Ye Yuan would naturally be using medicinal pills to aid Huyan Yong. The medicinal pill to help martial artists breakthrough into the Crystal Formation Realm was called the Crystal Formation Pill. An ordinary high-grade Crystal Formation Pill could increase the success rate of condensing crystal by 30%!
With Ye Yuan's standards, as long as he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, it would naturally be not just that!
And a Goodwall Flower was one of the core ingredients for the Crystal Formation Pill! With these Crystal Formation Pills, Ye Yuan could even create an army of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!
Such a force could virtually sweep across the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations!
Chapter 126. Are You for Real? |
Placing these Goodwall Flowers inside his storage ring, Ye Yuan continued to search the deeper parts of the cave.
As an alchemist, Ye Yuan was very familiar with the living habits of all sorts of demonic beasts.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear was not just the accompanying beast for the Goodwall Flower. It also retained some habits of bears, for example, their love for eating honey!
Some honey was extremely precious. Ye Yuan just wanted to try his luck by going in.
This cave was very tidy. Clearly, that Iron Paw Flying Bear cherished this place greatly.
Before long, Ye Yuan saw a stone mound. The stone mound was slightly larger than that Iron Paw Flying Bear. It was clear that this was where it rested.
Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings and went over to examine a lump of honey and could not help being thrilled.
"It's actually Silver Sword Bee honey, and there's so much! I really struck gold! Looks like that big stupid bear couldn't bear to eat it and hoarded it here. Didn't think that I would profit from this. Heh heh, with this thing, I can also justify to Feng Zhirou that lass later. Otherwise, she would definitely split me in half."
Silver Sword Bee was similarly a Tier 2 demonic beasts. Furthermore, its attack power was very strong, and its sting was highly toxic. The average person dared not approach it.
Looks like that stupid great bear's skin is really thick. To actually finish off a Silver Sword Bee's beehive. Truly impressive!
Silver Sword Bee's honey was extremely hard to come by. The effects of just directly consuming it was not inferior to a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill!
After Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, his cultivation would similarly require large quantities of medicinal pills.
The medicinal pill commonly used in the Endless World when cultivating at the Spirit Condensation Realm was called Essence Drop Pill. Ye Yuan obviously would not use such a low-level medicinal pill. He was prepared to refine a medicinal pill called Jade Water Pill. Its effect was more than a level stronger than the Essence Drop Pill.
And the Silver Sword Bee's honey was precisely one of the core ingredients to refine the Jade Water Pill!
The medicinal pill that could be refined from so much Silver Sword Bee honey was roughly enough to let Ye Yuan breakthrough to the Fourth or Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
And the Silver Sword Bee honey had another use, which was whitening and beautifying!
With Ye Yuan's methods, after refining several Beauty Retaining Pills to bribe Feng Zhirou, that lass most likely would not find trouble with him anymore.
Which woman did not wish to be forever young?
After collecting finish these Silver Sword Bee honey, Ye Yuan did not stay on and prepared to leave the cave straight away.
If Feng Zhirou could not hold on and that great stupid bear came back early trapping him inside, that would not be good.
Ye Yuan swiftly went to the cave entrance and was just about to exit the cave when a premonition suddenly struck!
Four streaks of cold light came from four different directions, sneak attacking Ye Yuan directly!
The strength of these four people were all at the Spirit Condensation Realm!
The four light beams virtually locked down Ye Yuan from all angles for the purpose of taking his life!
In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, Ye Yuan had no time to think too much, and could not be bothered with his image. He directly dropped and rolled inside the cave, barely evading these four attacks!
Even so, a blade still struck Ye Yuan's calf.
"Big Brother, turns out it's just a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm brat. Made us wait so seriously."
"Don't underestimate this brat. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm could actually dodge our ambush. His strength can't be downplay."
"What are you scared of him for? We, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, are Spirit Condensation Realm experts. You're even at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Big Brother. This brat also has the exit blocked by us. Don't tell me he can fly away?"
The ambushers did not continue the pursuit but blocked the exit, sealing off the only way out.
Ye Yuan crawled up from the ground and felt a burning pain in his calf.
Ye Yuan was familiar with poison and knew that the blade was coated with poison. He involuntarily frowned and fished out a Detoxification Pill he refined from his storage ring and ate it. Only then did it suppress the toxin.
The Southern Ridge Four Heroes saw Ye Yuan's actions but did not stop him. They just looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
One of them said, "It's useless, brat. This toxin was something we, Southern Ridge Four Heroes, begged from the Five Poison Immortal. Even if Tier 2 demonic beasts were struck by it, it would die from the poison half a day later, let alone a puny Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm like you. Ordinary detoxification pills completely can't resolve this poison."
Ye Yuan ignored him, faced the boss-like martial artist, and answered with a question, "You guys are demonic beast hunters?"
Seeing how these few people's equipments were shabby and their age was rather old, they were clearly not the Dan Wu Academy's students. So that just left demonic beast hunters.
This place was roughly five hundred miles away from the boundaries, precisely the place where Spirit Condensation Realm demonic beast hunters frequent.
In the Endless trials, not only would one suffer attacks from students and demonic beasts, demonic beast hunters were likewise a source of danger!
They originally worked with their lives on the edge of a blade while the students in the Dan Wu Academy were all proud children of heaven who enjoy countless cultivation resources.
Under this comparison, there were naturally many demonic beast hunters who felt unfair. And among them, a percentage of them would choose to lay hands on students!
In past Endless Trials, the number of students who died at the hands of demonic beast hunters was not small.
"That's right! If I guessed correctly, you should be a student from the Dan Wu Academy, right? Looks like it's the time for the Dan Wu Academy's Endless Trials once again," the boss said.
"Why did you guys ambush me?" Ye Yuan asked again.
The boss sniggered and pointed to where the Goodwall Flowers originally were and said, "Naturally for the precious herbs on you! This place should have many medicinal herbs, right? Looks like it was taken by you. Hand it over, and we will give you a painless end."
Hearing the boss's words, Ye Yuan could not resist laughing. "You guys won't even let me off if I hand over the herbs?"
"Heh, sorry! Who asked you to be from the Dan Wu Academy? If I let you off after you exit the Endless Forest, how will we, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, survive?"
"Then what are you bullshitting for? Just directly make a move to snatch it and be done with it," Ye Yuan said sullenly.
That boss chortled. He continued talking with an attitude like everything was within his grasp. "Talking naturally has its purpose. Do you know what poison we smeared on the blade? This poison is called Hundred Breath Collapse. That's to say that within a hundred breaths, the poison will flare up and you'll have no way of resisting, and definitely die within half a day! From when you were poisoned till now, it's been almost 90 breaths. Ten, nine, eight . . . one, down!"
This Hundred Breath Collapse proved effective every time the Southern Ridge Four Heroes used it. Even if a gargantuan build demonic beast were inflicted by this toxin, it would also collapse onto the ground within a hundred breaths.
Ye Yuan was only a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. He naturally could not escape this end.
But when he counted finish the ten breaths and said the word 'down,' Ye Yuan remained standing there without any intention of collapsing.
"Eh? Did I count wrong? There's still several breaths of time?" Boss said in bewilderment when he saw the situation.
Ye Yuan looked at this Southern Ridge Four Heroes' boss and could not resist sighing. "Are you for real? Playing poison with this Little Lord, you are still a little too unskilled! When this Little Lord was playing with poison, I'm afraid your grandfather wasn't even born yet!"

Although the Detoxification Pill Ye Yuan refined was only Tier 2, the composition of the medicinal pill was completely different from what Ye Hang refined.
Consuming the Detoxification pill and facing these Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists from the State of Qin, Ye Yuan could be said to be invulnerable to all poison!
If several Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could inflict poison with a Detoxification Pill refined by an exalted Alchemy Emperor, then it would truly be a joke.
When Ye Yuan finished talking, the face of the boss of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes swiftly fell.
A teenage youth talking about his grandfather not being born yet to his face, these words had indescribable oddness.
Could it be that this brat was an old monster who just maintained this face using youth retaining techniques?
The boss quickly denied this thought. Being admitted into the Dan Wu Academy, one had to undergo a bone age test. If this brat was really an old monster, there was no way he could have entered the Dan Wu Academy.
And Ye Yuan was clearly just Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Which old monster's strength was this lousy?
Hence, the boss's final conclusion was that Ye Yuan was purely diverting him!
"Heh heh, your Detoxification Pill is a treasure. Even Hundred Breaths Collapse was useless to you. But do you think that with your power alone, you can escape from the four of us?" The boss sneered coldly.
