Unrivaled Medicine God, page 780
Done talking, Ruo Xu flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind Song Qiyang transfixed like a wooden chicken.
What kind of visual prowess did Ruo Xu have, how could he not see that Song Qiyang’s thoughts were wavering right now?
Hence, that was why Ruo Xu dealt this harsh action to him, making Song Qiyang pull himself together.
Ruo Xu spent a lot of effort on Song Qiyang, how could he bear to really chase him out of his tutelage?
“Third round, pill refining! The medicinal pill that you all have to refine is the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill!” the deacon said.
The Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill was a thunder-attribute medicinal pill. The difficulty of refining was very high; virtually comparable to the Gale Celestial Stone Pill.
The difficulty of medicinal pill was an unprecedented challenge to everyone.
But in this third round, Ning Siyu was clearly at a disadvantage.
After all, she was just middle-stage Origin Deity. She was much worse in terms of divine essence.
These medicinal pills that are harder to refine, and the expenditure on divine essence was also enormous.
“I wonder if this third round, Ning Siyu can still create a miracle or not!”
“If there weren’t the first two rounds, I think that Ning Siyu definitely can’t! But now, I’m really looking forward to it!”
“I heard some time back that Ning Siyu assailed the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill bitterly and failed to get results. This Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill is much harder than the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, can she really do it?”
“If Elder Ye can even teach pill refinement, then the front door of Ye Manor will definitely be packed until it bursts tomorrow.”
…
In the first two rounds, everyone was not optimistic about Ning Siyu. But they did not expect that Ning Siyu became the greatest dark horse, crushing the top seeded contestant, Song Qiyang, until he was black and blue all over.
This third round, everyone naturally also looked forward to it.
But some who knew the inside story heard before about Ning Siyu’s Alchemy Dao strength, and hence, started somewhat doubting it.
With the pill refinement round starting, everyone cast their whole attention into pill refinement, but Ning Siyu did not move.
Ye Yuan told her, don’t be impatient, before refining the pill, recall the many times of observations properly, carefully recall the Dao accumulations back then, and adjust your state to the pinnacle.
Ning Siyu readily obeyed Ye Yuan’s words, so she was not in a hurry to move.
“Mn? What’s this girl doing? She knows that she can’t refine it, so she’s deliberately disrupting my mind?”
Song Qiyang’s state of mind was unsettled and kept on not being able to let go of thinking about Ning Siyu.
Ning Siyu’s strange action naturally landed in his eyes very quickly.
He was already somewhat doubting life now. Seeing this scene, he was even more anxious and doubtful.
“Humph!”
Ruo Xu suddenly snorted coldly. Song Qiyang abruptly startled awake, and plunge into pill refining.
“Head Elder, this action … is likely not compliant with the rules, right?” Xuan Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said coolly.
Ruo Xu’s face did not turn red, nor did his heart beat faster as he said coolly, “What did this old man do?”
He clearly made Song Qiyang calm his thoughts through this cold snort. Now, he actually refused to admit it without blushing.
The other elders also felt that this action was somewhat overboard. It was just that they dared to be angry, but they did not dare to speak.
Xuan Yu froze and immediately kept his mouth shut.
This guy’s skin was seriously too thick.
Ye Yuan glanced at Ruo Xu, but did not make a sound.
While at this time, Ning Siyu suddenly opened her eyes and started the pill refinement!
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up, nodding his head to himself.
This girl’s comprehension ability was even better than he thought.
Only to see Ning Siyu’s actions akin to floating clouds and flowing water – natural and smooth, accomplishing things at one go, with quite the air of a master.
Quite a few elders emitted a light gasp, clearly being attracted by Ning Siyu.
The realm of the elders present were all very high and could discern the level of superiority at a glance.
Ning Siyu’s current state already reached a kind of ethereal state, no distractions in her mind.
Under such a state, pill refinement could clearly yield twice the results with half the effort.
“Siyu this lass seems to really be different!”
“Could it be that Elder Ye really has this level of means to turn something rotten into something magical?”
“If Siyu this girl really refines the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill, that would be incredible!”
…
The group of elders gasped in wonder one after another. They knew that Ning Siyu really could not be compared to in the past anymore.
Regardless of the final result, Song Qiyang’s title of number one person among Three-star disciples would likely have to be handed over on a silver platter.
In contrast, even though Song Qiyang forcefully reigned in his thoughts, his state of mind was already flustered. It was very hard to unleash all of his strength.
His strength would likely be greatly reduced.
Time slowly trickled by, due to the reason of her realm being lacking, Ning Siyu was dripping with sweat, somewhat straining.
But, her entire person was in a mysterious state and did not detect it at all.
She only had one thought right now, that was to refine the medicinal pill.
Suddenly, she chirped.
“Condense!”
She was the last to take action among everyone, but the very first to finish!
Amidst the crowd, waves of exclamations came over.
They did not expect that Ning Siyu really refined the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill.
Even she herself looked towards Ye Yuan with an excited face.
She knew that all these changes were brought to her by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan flashed her a slight smile to show her affirmation, making Ning Siyu extremely agitated.
Before long, Song Qiyang’s medicinal pill was also about to congeal.
“Humph!”
But right at the critical moment, Ye Yuan suddenly emitted a cold snort from his nasal cavity.
Song Qiyang seemed to have his throat clutched, instantly suffocating.
Chapter 1592. Vastsun Universe Pill |
Congealing the pill was one of the most critical steps in alchemy!One could say that it was akin to ten thousand streams converging into a river.
This cold snort of Ye Yuan’s seemed to directly chop a blade at the convergence area of all the trickles.
That taste was really free from inhibitions to the max.
Head Elder’s face changed and he said in a cold voice, “Ye Yuan! What’s the meaning of this?”
Ye Yuan said with an innocent look, “What did I do? Oh, just now, my throat was uncomfortable and I cleared it. Head Elder’s throat was also uncomfortable just now, right?”
“You!” Ruo Xu was angered until his face was livid, but he actually could not find the words to refute.
Many elders all desperately held back from laughing. Ye Yuan this boy was really too bad.
But this matter was Head Elder not complying with the rules first. No one could find any fault.
Although this cold snort of Ye Yuan’s was not to the extent of making Song Qiyang waste all the previous efforts, the quality of the medicinal pill was definitely greatly affected.
“What’s wrong with me? Could it be that I did something wrong, why is Head Elder being so angry?” Ye Yuan said with a face that looked harmless to man and beast.
Ruo Xu’s expression was incredibly grim as he said in a solemn voice, “Elder Ye, very good! You’re very good! In a while, we’ll showcase our true abilities then!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “To be able to get Head Elder’s guidance, this Ye most welcomes it.”
Amidst the somewhat cold atmosphere, everyone’s medicinal pills had completely been refined.
The disciples who could enter the top 30, their strengths were all very outstanding.
Although the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill was hard, it was not to the point where they could not refine it.
It was just that the good and bad of the qualities varied greatly.
“Open the furnace! Elders, please examine them!” the deacon said in a clear voice.
Everyone opened their medicinal cauldrons. One medicinal pill after another flew out.
When Ning Siyu saw her Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill, she could not help being overjoyed.
She really did it!
Peak high-grade!
Just one more stop and it was superior-grade!
The group of elders walked down the grandstand and saw Ning Siyu’s Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill at first glance, all incomparably shocked.
How could they have imagined that Ning Siyu could actually refine one that was peak high-grade?
“Looks like this round’s situation is already very obvious. Siyu this lass takes first place for all three, overpowering everyone!” said an elder.
Quite a few elders came in front of Xuan Yu and congratulated, “Second Elder, congratulations! The ten spots to enter the Pill Tower this time, your lineage actually occupied half! It’s truly unprecedented!”
Xuan Yu smiled and said, “Got lucky, got lucky, all thanks to Elder Ye!”
Xuan Yu was naturally delighted in his heart. But he also knew that this was all Ye Yuan’s credit and had nothing to do with him.
These few years, he was bullied badly by Head Elder. Today, he finally vented it all out.
Head Elder only came down and circled one round, then returned to the grandstand again. How could he still have any face to stay?
That cold snort of Ye Yuan’s directly disrupted Song Qiyang’s medicinal pill into low-grade.
How could a low-grade medicinal pill be enough to enter the top ten?
Song Qiyang was long gone. He really had no way of staying here anymore.
Today, his face was utterly lost.
After a few more hours, the protector team’s results were also out. Lu Yi and Ding Xun both successfully obtained the spots to enter the Pill Tower.
Once that side ended, Ruo Xu stood up impatiently and said coldly, “Elder Ye, it’s our turn!”
Ye Yuan slowly got up and said with a smile, “Head Elder is very anxious. This state of mind will affect your performance.”
Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, “That doesn’t need you to worry about! Today, this old man is going to let you know that elders aren’t so easy to be!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “How does Head Elder want to compete?”
Ruo Xu said in a deep voice, “Don’t say that this old man is bullying you. Any rank three divine pill, you can have your pick!”
Head Elder was still concerned about his identity in the end and did not wish to get a reputation of bullying the weak in front of so many people.
Therefore, he had Ye Yuan choose the medicinal pill.
In his view, no matter which rank three medicinal pill, he still had no problems crushing Ye Yuan.
He was the exalted Pill Tower’s head elder, a peak Four-star Alchemy God. How could he possibly lose to a Three-star Alchemy God?
Even if Ye Yuan was somewhat different from the rest, his strength far surpassing Three-star Alchemy Gods, he also had full confidence.
But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “Head Elder is actually so magnanimous, then … I’ll choose the medicinal pill?”
Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, “You just pick! This old man is the exalted head elder, could it be that I still have to make things difficult in this area for you, a Three-star Alchemy God? Spreading it, wouldn’t it incur the entire imperial city’s people mocking?”
Ye Yuan nodded his head, but looked towards Xuan Yu and said, “Second Elder, I wonder what rank three divine pill Head Elder is most adept in?”
Xuan Yu understood it and said with a smile, “The rank three divine pills that Head Elder is good at are too many to enumerate. But to say what he’s best at, it should be the Vastsun Universe Pill. This medicinal pill of his has created many Divine Lord Realm powerhouses for the imperial city!”
Ye Yuan’s brows raised up, looking at Ruo Xu. He was rather surprised.
He did not think that Ruo Xu was actually good at the Vastsun Universe Pill!
This Vastsun Universe Pill was not an ordinary medicinal pill, but a medicinal pill that could help half-step Divine Lords and grand completion Origin Deity perceive the laws of heaven and earth, comprehending opening up an inner-world.
No medicinal pills could directly let the martial artist breakthrough to Divine Lord Realm. But the Vastsun Universe Pill could increase the chances of a martial artist’s breakthrough, letting them have a chance of taking this final step.
This kind of medicinal pill was hard to find a single one.
Disregarding that the spirit medicines required were very scarce, the requirement of the refiner was also perverse to the extreme.
Even for Four-star Alchemy Gods, those able to refine it were also exceedingly few.
Three-star Alchemy Gods, it had never been heard of that someone refined it before.
Ruo Xu and Xuan Yu, these sorts of existences, could naturally refine it. But Ruo Xu was more than a magnitude stronger than Ruo Xu in this medicinal pill.
The moment Ruo Xu heard, his stomach full of anger turned into ridicule and he said with a cold smile, “Huhu, young people had best not be too impetuous! You want to use the medicinal pill that I’m most adept in to compete with me, the idea is good, but … you’re too weak!”
Ruo Xu’s meaning was: you want to posture, in the end, you smacked your own face, right?
How could he not perceive that Ye Yuan wanted to challenge the medicinal pill that he was best at?
However, the reality was not as expected!
He completely did not think that Ye Yuan would compete with him with the Vastsun Universe Pill. This medicinal pill, Three-star Alchemy Gods had no capability to refine one!
The other elders also revealed contemptuous looks, feeling that Ye Yuan postured over the top.
“This Elder Ye, the more I look, the more unreliable he seems to be!”
“Yeah, want to say that Ning Siyu was taught by him, I don’t believe even if beaten to death.”
“Youngsters, having a bit of strength made them not know the immensity of heaven and earth anymore. How can the Vastsun Universe Pill be what he can refine?”
…
Chapter 1593. Overwhelming Aura |
“You want to compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill with me? Huhu, young man, I’m somewhat doubting it now. Do you really know alchemy?” When Ruo Xu heard that, he could not refrain from laughing in spite of himself.
“Know or not, you’ll know in a while. Why is Head Elder going back on your words?” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Heh, since you’re looking for a trashing yourself, then wouldn’t it somewhat be letting you down if this old man doesn’t help you achieve your purpose?” Ruo Xu said with a cold smile.
To talk about Ruo Xu refining the Vastsun Universe Pill, that was indeed a special ability of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
There was even one time when he refined a peak heaven-grade Vastsun Universe Pill and just missed a little bit more to reach the realm of divine-grade.
For the Vastsun Universe Pill, this was simply a miracle.
There was a saying that circulated among alchemists, the Vastsun Universe Pill was the hardest in rank three!
For a rank three alchemist to want to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill, it was undoubtedly a fool’s talk.
One could say that the Vastsun Universe Pill was the taboo of Three-star Alchemy Gods.
Even though it was just a rank three divine pill.
Only by experiencing the baptism of Great Dao, opening up one’s inner-world and increasing one’s comprehension, could one refine this medicinal pill.
It could be seen from this how great the difficulty of refining this medicinal pill was.
However, when everyone heard that Head Elder was going to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill, each and every one of them became incomparably excited.
Especially those alchemists, this was a rare chance to learn and observe to them.
“It’s really too great! To actually be able to personally see Head Elder refining the Vastsun Universe Pill, this is a chance that only happens once in a blue moon!”
“Even though Elder Ye is unreliable, he obtained benefits for us, these bottom-level alchemists, this time!”
“Elder Ye is really an ignorant person who doesn’t fear anything, to actually want to compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill with Head Elder. Isn’t this simply looking to be abused?”
“Maybe he feels that such a difficult medicinal pill, even if he can’t refine it, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing either. This way, he can continue to fish in troubled waters in the future.”
…
The spirit medicines required for refining the Vastsun Universe Pill were very rare. But with the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s strength, collecting a few sets of rank three spirit medicines was still doable.
It was just that this medicinal pill was too precious. Extremely few people could afford the price to invite Head Elder to take action.
Before long, someone prepared two sets of spirit medicines and delivered them to the Pill Tower.
“Elder Ye, these spirit medicines were gotten by the Martial Tower’s disciples at the risk of their lives. Giving you to refine is really too wasteful!” Ruo Xu pointed at those spirit medicines and said.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, “Head Elder’s words aren’t correct. Wasted or not, we’ll only know after refining. If your medicinal pill’s quality is worse than mine, you’re the one who really squandered it!”
