Unrivaled Medicine God, page 776
If it came to the real thing, he was absolutely not afraid of Ye Yuan!
But the problem was, he already lost all face in front of a group of juniors.
Ye Yuan’s gaze looked toward Lin Dong rather coldly, and the latter felt a chill in his heart. A powerful pressure instantly pierced his heart!
Lin Dong felt that it was very inconceivable. An Origin Deity Realm actually brought such a powerful sense of oppression to him.
This kind of feeling was extremely absurd.
Was it because of his identity as an elder?
Lin Dong did not know, but he knew that Elder Ye was unhappy with him already.
He did not carry out Elder Ye’s order staunchly.
But earlier, Ye Yuan did not even dare to accept Song Qiyang’s challenge. Did he really have the strength to become an elder?
Lin Dong could not help hesitating in his heart.
If he were to take action today, it would be offending Head Elder badly.
Dealing with Qin Xiao that kind of weakling, he naturally did not care.
But Head Elder, what kind of high-ranking figure was that?
“Get lost!”
Ye Yuan’s voice was akin to thunder, suppressing everyone all at once, and they actually unconsciously divided and opened up a path.
Ye Yuan brought Li-er and the rest and slowly walked over from the middle.
Only when Ye Manor’s front door closed did they abruptly startle awake.
“Why did I move aside just now?”
“This … This isn’t right! My strength is stronger than him, why would I be scared of him?”
Everyone was working it out one after another in their hearts. They all could not understand why they would be scared by Ye Yuan.
Lin Dong stood there very awkwardly. He knew that Ye Yuan not bringing him along indicated that Ye Yuan was already very unhappy with him.
Giving a bitter laugh, Lin Dong turned around and left.
When mighty gods clashed, little ghosts suffered.
Lin Dong had never thought that he would become a ‘little ghost’ in front of an Origin Deity Realm one day.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Song, what … what should we do now?” someone asked Song Qiyang softly.
Song Qiyang roared, “Go back! What else can we do? Do you want to barge into an elder’s residence without any authorization? That is a serious crime!”
Song Qiyang looked at Ye Manor’s front door and said hatefully, “There’s still a few days to the Pill Tower’s competition. I’ll see when he can be cocky until! When the time comes, I’ll make him reveal his true colors! Humph!”
…
The Ye Manor was a mansion that the Pill Tower prepared for Ye Yuan. It occupied an extremely large area in the inner city.
The elders’ allotments were top-notch in the inner city.
“Hehe, Master Ye, you were really too cool just now! Song Qiyang that guy, his eyes are at the top of his head. I’ve long found him an eyesore,” the moment they entered, Ning Siyu said with a desire to see the world plunged into chaos.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “They went against their superior. For me to not punish their crimes, it’s already being very nice to them.”
Ning Siyu scoffed and said with a smile, “Then do you know who that person you threw just now was?”
From start to end, Ye Yuan did not recognize Song Qiyang and also did not know what background he had.
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, “He’s the head elder’s people, right? Furthermore, looking at his appearance, his status isn’t low.”
Ning Siyu opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, “How did you know?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I guessed it!”
Ning Siyu gave a thumbs up and praised, “Indeed worthy of being Master Ye! Since you already guessed it, you actually still dared to make him lose face in front of so many juniors?”
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s because of your master’s strong recommendation that I could become an elder. Do you think that if I were friendly to him, their group of people would let me off?”
Ning Siyu could not help choking and said, “Makes sense! But if I were to say, you should have agreed to him earlier and teach him a good lesson! Let him know what’s called there’s always someone better! Additionally, you can also demonstrate your strength, this newly-appointed elder.”
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Most likely, Lin Dong thinks so as well! However … what qualifications does he have to make me go take action and teach him a lesson? Winning against him, I don’t get anything. If lose … uh … that’s impossible.”
“Pffft”
The few people around were tickled by Ye Yuan.
Yeah, how could Ye Yuan possibly lose to Song Qiyang?
But laughing for a while, Ning Siyu said, “But if like this, outsiders will say even more stuff than your strength being inadequate to take on the position of elder. Most likely, Head Elder will take this chance to take action!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Even if I need to take action, that’s also not me taking action. In the Pill Tower’s competition, you have to viciously slap that punk for me!”
Ning Siyu got a fright and hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I can’t, I can’t! You aren’t aware of this just because Song Qiyang isn’t anything in your eyes. But in my eyes, that’s a mighty divinity-like existence. In the realm of Three-star Alchemy God, he’s practically undefeatable!”
Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, “Undefeatable? Hur hur, who dares to say that they are undefeatable in this world? Even the Medicine Ancestor, that kind of existence, even if he has no precedents, who can guarantee that there wouldn’t be anyone who can repeat it? After breaking through to the Dao Realm, I feel my own insignificance even more. What does he count as?”
Ning Siyu was speechless and said, “Talk is cheap for you! Reaching your realm, of course you can say whatever you want. But I’m really not his match.”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Relax, starting from today, I’ll give you special training for ten days! After ten days, you have to trample that Song Qiyang’s face flat for me!”
…
“Mn? Lin Dong, didn’t I arrange for you to go be Elder Ye’s follower? Why did you come back?”
After Lin Dong left, he went all the way back to the Martial Tower.
He ruminated along the way and did not notice that there was someone. Lifting his head to take a look, it was precisely the Deacon Feng Yuhai who arranged his mission this time.
Seeing the other party ask, Lin Dong could not help smiling bitterly and said, “I probably can’t become his follower any longer!”
Feng Yuhai’s brows raised up and he said in puzzlement, “What’s going on? Do you know, this duty is what many people are fighting for!”
Being a Pill Tower elder’s follower was not just about glory, it was also a ladder to ensure one’s own strength steadily rose higher!
A Pill Tower elder casually refining a few medicinal pills when he was happy could let the follower digest for decades to a century.
This kind of task, there were naturally many people fighting for it.
Even though Ye Yuan’s strength was still weak, he was strongly recommended by Second Elder.
Even if he could not refine rank four divine pills, making Second Elder take action, that could work too.
Lin Dong was helpless and could only recount the scene that happened in front of Ye Yuan’s door, making Feng Yuhai’s brows knit together tightly.
He sighed and said, “This was also hard on you. According to what you said, that Elder Ye might really be a chess piece pushed out by Second Elder. This matter, don’t take part if you can choose not to take part then!”
Chapter 1584. Is There Still Regard for Pecking Order? |
The Pill Tower competition was the Pill Tower’s grandest event.From disciples to elders, they all had to take part, competing for a spot to enter the Pill Tower.
The Pill Tower was a faction of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, and also a cultivation tower that everyone yearned for. The Martial Tower was likewise so.
Each Pill Tower competition, in order to fight for the spot to enter the Pill Tower, the elders would also crack their heads.
Pill Martial Twin Towers were the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s most beautiful structures. The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, no matter from which angle, one could see the twin towers that towered into the clouds side by side.
At this time, below the Pill Tower, people assembled on an enormous plaza.
The Pill Tower competition and Martial Tower competition were both major events that involved the inner city as well as the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s future direction. The attention paid was naturally extremely high.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, “You guys, quickly look! The elders are out!”
A corner of the plaza close to the Pill Tower had a very high grandstand built temporarily. This was specially prepared for the elders.
Even those deacons did not have the qualifications to sit here either.
At this time, the elders entered in a single file, each finding their seats and taking it.
Deercry was so angry in his heart!
The others sitting on top, he was convinced of their qualifications.
But this Ye Yuan made him as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.
With this, he really ran on top of his head to shit and pee.
“You all, look, that’s the newly-appointed Elder Ye Yuan, so young!”
“More than just young! He’s simply a little kid, alright? Many Pill Tower’s Three-star Alchemy God disciples are hundreds of years older than him!”
“Tsk tsk, truly, you can’t judge a man by his looks! It’s just, no idea how his true standard is. I heard that he refused Song Qiyang’s challenge.”
“Heh, scared, right? Now, everyone says that he’s the chess piece pushed out by Second Elder, I think it’s most likely the case.”
“Yeah, such a little kid, he can have the qualifications to be an elder? Isn’t that nonsense?!”
…
Ye Yuan appearing in the ranks of the group of elders truly seemed somewhat glaring.
Compared to the other elders, he was somewhat ridiculously young.
Even the vast majority of the disciples were much older than Ye Yuan.
This kind of situation occurring, it naturally made many people feel very off in their hearts.
Of course, the one who felt the most off-balance was Song Qiyang.
He looked at Ye Yuan below, sneering unceasingly in his heart.
You just be smug then. Today, I’m going to challenge you in front of everybody! I don’t believe that you can avoid and not a battle! Song Qiyang sneered coldly in his heart.
All preparations in place, Song Qiyang slowly stepped out of the ranks and said to Rou Xu with clasped hands, “Head Elder, I heard that the newly-appointed Elder Ye’s alchemy strength is formidable. This disciple is untalented and wants to seek guidance from him. There are quite a few disciples present, I think everyone wants to witness Elder Ye’s elegant bearing. Just take it as … giving the competition this time a warm-up!”
Everyone clearly did not expect that Song Qiyang actually played this move, challenging Ye Yuan in front of so many people. If Ye Yuan still did not accept the challenge, it probably could not be justified, right?
However, they also indeed looked forward to it very much, at just how Ye Yuan’s true strength was.
For a moment, all gazes turned toward Ye Yuan, wanting to see how he would cope with the present situation.
Rou Xu looked at Ye Yuan meaningfully and said, “Elder Ye, right now in the imperial city, the criticism toward you numbered quite a lot! There are quite a few people who say that you’re young and lacking to take on the position of elder. Some also say that you’re just a Three-star Alchemy God and aren’t worthy of being an elder. Why not take this chance and show some ability for everyone?”
These two people sang in chorus, directly forcing Ye Yuan to the corner.
Quite a few elders, deacons, and protectors were all watching the joke. After all, Ye Yuan coming into existence so sudden made them very unconvinced.
“Yeah, Elder Ye, show some skill and also let us broaden our horizons!”
“Elder Ye enjoys success at a young age. He definitely has areas where he surpasses others. Why not take this chance and let us learn!”
The group of deacons and protectors craved for the world to be plunged into chaos, all concurring.
Second Elder did not like to fight and had always been ostracized by Head Elder.
The deacons and protectors present, the majority were Head Elder’s people. They were naturally here to watch the joke.
Ye Yuan sneered in his heart and suddenly asked, “Head Elder, this Song Qiyang is your disciple, right?”
Rou Xu nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Ye Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and said, “Head Elder, this disciple of yours is also too ignorant of the rules! The matter a few days ago, I presume that Head Elder wouldn’t be unaware, right? A mere Three-star disciple, what right does he have to come and challenge this elder? Today, in front of so many people, he just said those words a little nicer. Is this wanting to force me to abdicate? Head Elder, with this precedent today, then what prestige would all the elders present still have in the future?”
Song Qiyang could not help choking, his face flushing red.
Similarly Three-star Alchemy God, he was even two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan. But his single rebuttal trampled him dead.
The difference in status was too great.
Ye Yuan suddenly making things difficult for him caught Rou Xu by surprise.
He did not think that Ye Yuan, a young man, actually knew bureaucratic play and trickery, pressing people with circumstances.
Even though these words sounded like avoidance no matter what, he really could not find words to refute.
If according to realm, Song Qiyang was more than plenty to challenge Ye Yuan.
But according to status, Song Qiyang was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan!
Saying these words today was disobeying one’s superiors in itself.
But this way, Rou Xu was even more convinced that Ye Yuan was definitely an embroidered pillow, not daring to accept the challenge.
Rou Xu’s reaction was quick as well, immediately giving Deercry a look.
Deercry understood, got up, and said, “Ye Yuan, I wonder if this old man has the qualifications to challenge you?”
“Insolence!” The moment his voice faded, Ye Yuan immediately launched an attack and said in a cold voice, “Who the hell are you, to dare directly call this elder by name?”
Deercry’s face turned into the color of pig liver. Being said like this by a little boy who was not even old enough to be his grandson, he was really going crazy!
Deercry relied on that he was Rou Xu’s confidant and normally did not take ordinary elders seriously either, directly calling them by their names.
His seniority was even older than those elders. Taking advantage of his seniority a bit, no one dared to say anything either.
Who knew that today, Ye Yuan actually directly used this to shoot.
Ye Yuan had a grim look and said to Rou Xu, “Head Elder, I think our Pill Tower should be reorganized properly. Is there still any regard for pecking order? Why not … I propose to have an elders meeting and discuss this problem well, and come up with a solution?”
Rou Xu had not opened his mouth yet when the Xuan Yu who had his eyes shut to rest the entire time suddenly spoke up.
“Mn, this pecking order should be discussed properly.” Finished talking, he shut his eyes again, as if he did not say anything.
The moment Second Elder opened his mouth, the weight of the speech was different.
With today’s matter as the pretext, having an elders meeting did not seem to be inappropriate.
Head Elder’s lineage was used to playing the tyrant and did not place the other elders in their sights at all. The concept of pecking order had actually long weakened already.
This naturally could not scare Rou Xu. But it made Rou Xu secretly become alert in his heart.
This Ye Yuan was not easy to deal with!
This kid had a completely different style than Xuan Yu, very troublesome!
Suddenly, Rou Xu opened his mouth and said, “Deacon Deercry, why haven’t you apologized to Elder Ye?”
Chapter 1585. Competing on Fire Control |
Deercry was furious!His old face could be said to not give face to anyone except Head Elder.
He did not expect that today, he actually had to lower his head to a little brat!
But if he did not lower his head now, it was equivalent to challenging the entire Elders Association.
This crime, he could not undertake it.
If it really blew up, he absolutely could not gain anything!
Deercry gritted his teeth and said, “E-Elder Ye, just now, it was Deercry who was impetuous. E-Elder Ye, please don’t take offense!”
When he said ‘Elder Ye’ two words, he felt goosebumps breaking out all over his body. It was truly uncomfortable all over.
When the others saw this scene, there was an indescribable peculiarity.
Deercry was old until he was almost entering the coffin, but he extended a formal apology to such a young elder. There was an indescribable sense of discordance.
“Mn, looking on account of Head Elder’s face, I’ll spare you this time! If you were to offend again next time, you’ll be punished with due severity according to the Pill Tower’s rules!” Ye Yuan had a very magnanimous appearance, really like he was lecturing a junior.
This kid even went along with it!
Deercry snorted coldly and said, “Elder Ye, I’m seeking your advice today to liven things up for the Pill Tower’s competition, how about it?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “You’re merely a deacon, so what qualifications do you have to come and seek advice from me?”
