Unrivaled Medicine God, page 84
His predecessor was a top-tier noob, so no need to talk about that.
Ji Qingyun was also utterly unfamiliar with the Boundless World. Such a long time and he had not even heard of any powerhouses' name.
"Sea . . . Sea Transformation Realm?"
Nanfeng Zhirou's eyes popped out. This was her first time seeing a Sea Transformation Realm expert.
"If not? It's also impossible for Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realms to release such powerful pressure, right?" Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said.
Just then, a shadow cut across the skies. A large bird-like creature stopped in mid-air just like that. On it, an elder stood upright with a majestic aura.
"All get lost for old me! Within a mile radius from the gorge entrance, any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
The elder's words were just like rolling heavenly thunder, spreading out in all directions and entering everyone's ears. He left these words extremely arrogantly and drove the large bird to fly towards the entrance of the gorge.
"Who's that person? So rampant! He asks your father to leave, and your father leaves? Your father just refuses to leave!"
The people by the sides looked at him like they were looking at a fool. "Then you stay. We're going!"
"Aiya, don't! Together, go together! Just who on earth is that person? Why is he so powerful? Glancing once at him gave the feeling like I was crumbling!"
"If I didn't see wrongly, that old man is the Black Crow Old Man who went missing for many years! When he went missing, he was only at the Crystal Formation Realm. I didn't think that not only did he not die, but he also even advanced a step and stepped into Sea Transformation Realm!"
"My god! Sea Transformation Realm! It's hopeless in my entire life . . ."
"We all know . . ."
The crowd retreated like tidal water. Even the Crystal Formation Realm martial artists who arrived previously also fell back sensibly.
In front of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were simply not worth looking at!
Sea Transformation Realm did not lie within the major realms carved out by martial artists, but it laid between the Crystal Formation Realm and Soul Sea Realm. It was a special type of state!
The Sea Transformation; its full name should be Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea!
After martial artists enter the Crystal Formation Realm, the compression of essence energy already reached the limits!
It was no longer possible to want to continue storing essence energy inside the body.
When Crystal Formation Realm martial artists reach the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm, the dantian became the greatest obstacle of shackling martial artists' breakthrough instead!
Thereupon, ancient sages used powerful soul strength to shatter the dantian's fetters, creating this step of Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea, which also laid a solid foundation for martial artists to continue breaking through their limits!
Crystal Formation Realm martial artists pulverize the dantian along with the crystallized state essence energy and transform into a miraculous state. This process was Sea Transformation!
This sea was called the Dantian Sea.
After the dantian transforms into a sea, martial artists could take their first steps to communicate with the outer world's heaven and earth essence energy, transferring the outside world's heaven and earth essence energy for their own use. Their strength would experience a substantial increase.
Invoking the outside world's heaven and earth essence energy when compared to using the heaven and earth essence energy within the body, the former was naturally more superior.
Hence, the strength of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were not even on the same level!
No matter how powerful Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were, it was impossible to make everybody feel such pressure. But Sea Transformation Realm martial artists who borrowed Heaven & Earth essence energy could easily do this.
However, Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea was only a special state. It should be said that it was the embryonic form of the Soul Sea Realm. Therefore, it could not be categorized as a major realm.
Even so, the might of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists already exceeded the understanding of ordinary people.
It could be said that Crystal Formation Realm martial artists still belonged to mortal martial artists, while Sea Transformation Realm martial artists already took the first step to transcending beyond mortal and the secular!
Ye Yuan looked at the back figure of that old man who floated away and could not resist sneering. "Just the First Level Sea Transformation Realm, what's there to be arrogant about?"
Nanfeng Zhirou hurriedly covered his mouth. "You don't want to live anymore?! That's a Sea Transformation Realm expert!"
Feeling the faint aroma coming from Nanfeng Zhirou's palm, Ye Yuan felt very comfortable and invigorated.
"Isn't it just Sea Transformation Realm? Give me ten years. I guarantee that you will break through to the Soul Sea Realm! Uh . . . However, ten years seem to be a little too long," Ye Yuan transmitted his voice.
The ten years being too long was Ye Yuan saying that he might not stay in the Boundless World for ten years.
Even if he could stay in the Boundless World for ten years, he would also leave the State of Qin in the future, and leave the Tranquil Cloud Sect. It was not possible to keep staying by Nanfeng Zhirou's side to be a nanny.
But Nanfeng Zhirou did not think so. "Ten . . . Ten years? Soul Sea Realm?"
Even though it was a voice transmission, Nanfeng Zhirou felt tongue-tied.
Ten years to breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm, forget about the State of Qin, even in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, nobody dared to boast like this.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not say it was him breaking through, but to help her break through!
Also, Ye Yuan did not say break through to the Sea Transformation Realm, but break through to the Soul Sea Realm!
Is there a mistake?
This feeling did not feel like they were talking about breaking through cultivation realm, but more like playing a game, casually talking about it to breakthrough cultivation realms.
Ye Yuan also misunderstood. He glanced at Nanfeng Zhirou and said, "Ten years too long? Uh . . . Eight years is also possible! But it can't be any lesser! With your talent, just eight years is somewhat overly forceful already. Your foundation will be unstable."
"Puchi!" Nanfeng Zhirou nearly vomited a mouthful of old blood.
Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very amazing, why did these words feel so unreliable?
Ye Yuan also could not be blamed. Not too much time had actually passed since his rebirth. Even though he already gradually adjusted to the State of Qin's lifestyle, many concepts were still stagnated in his previous life.
The way he saw it, with the assistance of medicinal pills, as long as talent was not too poor, breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm was something that was easy to accomplish.
Nanfeng Zhirou's talent was not considered bad. But compared to genuine geniuses, there was still quite a disparity.
Hence, Ye Yuan saying ten years was actually already a broader time frame.
But these words totally did not sound like that from how Nanfeng Zhirou heard it. It was simply like bragging to the skies.
"Will you die if you don't brag? Ten years to breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm, then you can be the Tranquil Cloud Sect's Sect Leader already!" Nanfeng Zhirou said with a face full of disdain.
Only now did Ye Yuan react as he seemed to realize that what he just said was a little over the top. With Nanfeng Zhirou's horizons, she simply could not understand it.
"Haha, this was also found out by you. We'd better hurry up. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it if we will get killed by that old freak."
"I know that you were bragging! But can't you just think first before saying all that?" Nanfeng Zhirou rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan.
Chapter 167. Essence Fire Born! |
"Roar!"
Right then, a colossal cry sounded out.
A large bird howled through the air and stopped in front of the bunch of demonic beasts, facing off with Black Crow Old Man across a distance.
After that large bird demonic beast appeared, the demonic beasts' side also retreated far away.
"Hey hey, what demonic beast is that? Seems to be very amazing!"
"What rubbish! To think that you're a demonic beast hunter, to actually not even recognize the Golden Sword Condor! That's a Tier 4 demonic beast! I heard that this Golden Sword Condor is the lord of the Lotus Moon Gorge! Before this, it was lurking god knows where. Now that it saw the Black Crow Old Man appear, it also could not resist coming out."
"Look at what you're saying. While I may be a demonic beast hunter, do you feel that I have the ability to hunt a Tier 4 demonic beast? It would be pretty good if he doesn't come to kill me."
"Uh . . ."
The appearance of the Golden Sword Condor also caused a commotion over at the human martial artists' side.
Initially, they all felt that the treasure this time was most likely the Black Crow Old Man's already. But now, a Tier 4 demonic beast actually appeared. There was a good show to watch now.
While the Sea Transformation Realm was not a major realm, the power of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists could already match the power of early-stage Tier 4 demonic beasts.
Like human martial artists, Tier 4 demonic beasts, at this level, the span of power is exceptionally huge.
The vast majority of demonic beasts would all stop at Tier 4 in the end. Because the advancement from Tier 4 to Tier 5 is too tough.
From Tier 4 to Tier 5, they would experience the most important phase for demonic beasts that is Taking Form!
Demonic beasts who successfully took form would be like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate; becoming an extremely powerful existence.
Demonic beasts who failed to take form would become ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation!
Hence, the entire stage for Tier 4 demonic beasts was virtually all for the sake of preparing for this Heavenly Tribulation!
This also resulted in the differences in strength being extremely huge for Tier 4 demonic beasts.
Normally speaking, Early Stage and Middle Stage Tier 4 was equivalent to human Sea Transformation Realm. But Late Stage Tier 4 demonic beasts was equivalent to human Soul Sea Realm!
This Golden Sword Condor should have just broken through to Tier 4 not long ago. In terms of power, it was probably the same as the Black Crow Old Man.
Therefore, the current situation became quite subtle.
Seeing a Tier 4 demonic beast appearing, the human martial artists were close to losing all hope.
A Black Crow Old Man already made them lose all chances of snatching the treasure. With the addition of a Tier 4 demonic beast, wouldn't that be deadly?
Ye Yuan was not surprised to see this Tier 4 demonic beast.
This place was the Endless Forest; it was the territory of demonic beasts right from the start. It would be even weirder if no high-level demonic beasts came over!
Moreover, Ye Yuan was currently secretly delighted. These two fellows would surely battle it out to seize the treasure. At that time, he could just sit down and reap the spoils without lifting a finger.
The Black Crow Old Man shot a glance at the Golden Sword Condor not far away, gave a cold snort, and simply sat down to meditate.
Tier 4 demonic beasts had extremely high intellect. It clearly did not wish to strike at this moment, so it similarly landed on the ground to conserve strength and build up energy.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, I reckon that the treasure will be born today. To be able to attract a Sea Transformation Realm and Tier 4 demonic beast over, this treasure most likely isn't simple. In a while, you'd better enter the spatial artifact. This way, I can search for the treasure with full force. I have a feeling that this treasure is very important to me so Senior Apprentice Sister will have to put up with this a little," Ye Yuan advised very earnestly.
Nanfeng Zhirou clenched her jaw tightly, and her face changed a few times.
Was she still going to be of no help at all in the end? A fierce unwillingness was born in her heart!
But she also knew that with Sea Transformation Realm experts here, she really could not help Ye Yuan with anything. Not dragging him down was already pretty good.
Even though Ye Yuan's strength was not great, he had endless streams of means and methods. Searching for the treasure alone might be somewhat safer instead.
"Fi-Fine then." Nanfeng Zhirou finally relented.
Ye Yuan was overjoyed. He brought Nanfeng Zhirou to a place with nobody around and put her away inside the spatial artifact.
Right at this time, an extremely powerful heatwave spread out from the depths of the gorge, making all the martial artists feel like they were being cooked.
But everyone perked up because they all knew that the treasure came into being!
Ye Yuan saw the situation and his expression was also one of joy.
"Is it possible that an essence fire came into being? Such a powerful essence fire, I'm afraid that it's at least Tier 4! This trip was indeed the right call!"
Ye Yuan's experience was far beyond what these people could compare to. He could guess from this wave the general situation of the treasure born this time.
The so-called essence fire referred to the fire-seed born from the heaven and earth. Its might was extremely powerful!
The moment a martial artist owned an essence fire, their combat power would shoot straight up. Of course, the prerequisite was that they could subdue the essence fire.
Many martial artists wanted to obtain essence fires but were finally burnt until not even cinders were left.
However, there was another application of essence fire, and that was to aid alchemists in refining pills!
Tier 1 and 2 medicinal pills did not have a high requirement towards the flame. Ordinary earth fire could satisfy the requirement.
But using earth fire for Tier 3 and above medicinal pills would be very forced. As for Tier 4 medicinal pills, earth fire would be completely insufficient.
Hence, what an alchemist dreamed for the most was to be able to own essence fire!
Even for Alchemy Apprentices and Alchemy Masters, if they could own a Tier 1 or 2 essence fire, the success rate and quality of their pill refinement would increase tremendously.
It was just that compared to the number of alchemists, there were too few, too few essence fires. So scarce to the degree it made people despair. Hence, the vast majority of alchemists did not have essence fires.
Ye Yuan's previous life was an Alchemy Emperor. Tier 9 essence fire was the standard. It was just that after the death of his flesh body, the essence fire was unable to be brought over for rebirth.
If it turned out as expected, that essence fire was obviously taken away by Ji Canglan.
The essence fire in Ye Yuan's previous life was named Cangli True Fire. It was prepared for Ye Yuan personally by Ji Zhengyang.
In reality, Ji Qingyun could be considered to have grown up in a honey jar. Since the beginning when he came into contact with alchemy, from Tier 1 to Tier 9, Ji Zhengyang would help him prepare the essence fire nicely.
What he had to do was to refine those essence fires!
Ji Qingyun did that very well.
. . . . . .
After the heatwave passed, the Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor exchanged glances and swept towards the depths of the Lotus Moon Gorge at virtually the same time.
Other people and demonic beasts only dared to flood inside by following the footsteps of others after those two major powers left.
Of course, there were some people who saw this sort of situation and sensibly retreated.
However, they normally did not even dare to come to Lotus Moon Gorge this sort of place. With such a fine chance this time, why would they let that pass by?
Apart from that treasure which was born, there were a lot of good stuff in the Lotus Moon Gorge!
However, Ye Yuan saw that it might be an essence fire which came into being. How would he have the thought to bother with those things? His figure moved, and he swept over to the depths of the gorge.
"Hey, you guys saw that? Just now, a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat rushed inside."
"Forget it, don't bother about him. He's in a rush to reincarnate, what has it got to do with us? We'd better hurry and source for some precious herbs. There are quite a few Tier 3 herbs here!"
"Ah ah ah! You're despicable! I saw that Dragon Serpentine Grass first!"
The deeper Ye Yuan went inside, the more he sensed that there were several powerful auras ahead. They were definitely the few human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists and those Tier 3 demonic beasts.
Ye Yuan was just pondering what should he do when White Light who had been following by his side all along suddenly moved away, following a small path, and darted in.
Ye Yuan was about to stop him when he suddenly thought of something. A smile crept into the corner of his mouth, and he also hurried after it.
Chapter 168. Earth Flame Lizard |
Where White Light passed by were all deserted and precipitous places. Ye Yuan followed the whole way but hardly bumped into anybody.
"Could this little thing really have the ability to search for treasure?" Ye Yuan became more and more certain about this view.
If that was really the case, then the white tiger back then should have been led by White Light to search for the Blood Bodhi but did not expect to encounter the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python occupying that place.
After the two parties fought a great battle, the white tiger lost.
This way, everything could be explained.
"Do Flowing Light White Tigers have such abilities? This little fellow is really extraordinarily talented!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.
