Unrivaled Medicine God, page 858
This talent truly made people despair.
The muscles on Mu Yuanchun’s face were twitching. He thought that he could overpower Ye Yuan in pill refinement, did not expect that he was still beaten.
High-grade versus superior-grade, utter defeat!
To alchemists, high-grade was easy to refine, superior-grade was hard to find.
To ordinary alchemists, wanting to refine superior-grade and above medicinal pills would depend on luck.
But it was just Ye Yuan’s first time!
“Heh, looks like I passed the test,” Ye Yuan said with a look of relief.
Passing the test was naturally not worth him being happy. But he knew that he had already successfully attracted the attention of these elders.
Stonefeather nodded and said, “Very soon, the examination this time, Ye Yuan, Mu Yuanchun, and Gu Hong, three people passed, becoming my Tyrant Origin Imperial City’s Priest Temple’s priest apprentices. The others still have to work harder, my Priest Temple’s front door is always open for you all.”
Even though the others were helpless, they could only accept reality.
This Priest Temple’s examination was really not that easy to pass.
After everyone dispersed, Stonefeather said to Kong Lin, “Kong Lin, you bring Yuanchun and Gu Hong to go settle down. Ye Yuan, stay behind first. After you settle them down, come over again.”
Kong Lin was surprised in his heart but still answered, “Yes!”
Mu Yuanchun’s expression changed slightly, incomparably vexed in his heart.
Originally, this glory should have belonged to him.
Now, the limelight was all snatched by Ye Yuan.
After the three people left, Stonefeather look at Ye Yuan and said with a solemn expression, “Ye Yuan, this seat wants to take a look at your standard when refining divine pills!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Yes, Elder!”
Since he wanted to show his strength, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hiding.
At once, Ye Yuan refined a divine pill, the difficulty was similar to that of the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill.
When he finished refining, he discovered that Stonefeather three people used extremely shocked gazes to look at him, as if they were looking at a freak.
Ye Yuan’s Alchemy Dao strength had long become a household name in the lands of Southridge.
But in this distant Demon Divine Region, no one had witnessed it before.
So the moment he took action, it rendered the three great Five-star priests dumbfounded with amazement.
“No wonder! No wonder you could get started so quickly! Turns out that your Alchemy Dao strength has already reached such a level!” Stonefeather exclaimed.
“At a young age, Alchemy Dao actually already reached the realm of grandmaster, truly inconceivable!” Another elder marveled at this refinement.
The three of them naturally saw through long ago that Ye Yuan’s strength was extraordinary, but they did not expect that Ye Yuan’s strength was actually so dreadful.
Even if the three of them were Five-star priests, there was also completely no way of comparing them with Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Three elders are too kind, Ye Yuan is utterly clueless about demon divine pills, but yearns for it. For this, that’s why I came to the Demon Divine Region from afar. It’s in order to learn the demon divine pills’ refining method from seniors!”
Stonefeather nodded his head and said, “Alright, you stay behind first and learn together with the other priest apprentices.”
Ye Yuan said, “Yes, Elder!”
After Ye Yuan left, the three people’s expressions became solemn.
“Elder Stonefeather, what do you think?” The one talking was called Ku Mu.
The other elder, Ni Kun, said, “Elder Stonefeather, you’re also too weak and irresolute like this. Even though this boy possesses demon race bloodline, he stayed in the human territories for a long time and likely harbors evil designs. Wouldn’t directly killing him deal with it?”
Stonefeather mused for a moment and said, “Killing can naturally deal with it once and for all. But what benefit is there for us? Compared to the humans, the demon race’s alchemic talents are far too few! With this child’s talent, if he can be used by us, he’ll definitely be a top powerhouse of the demon race in the future! What’s important or not, don’t you all have a score in your hearts?”
The moment these words came out, the other two elders fell into silence.
Compared to the human race, the demon race had indeed fallen far behind in alchemy.
This was decided by talent, the demon race’s alchemists also had no way around this.
The human race was indeed more than several times stronger than the demon race in terms of this kind of meticulous handling.
And this also determined the quality of the medicinal pills.
Now, a Ye Yuan whose talent was strong until it made people’s hair stand on end suddenly appearing, how could Stonefeather not be moved?
“But how can you ensure that he’ll be used by us? Don’t you forget, it’s his first time refining demon divine pills, which is also to say that he has always been living in the human territories!” Ni Kun suddenly said.
Stonefeather nodded and said, “In my view, he definitely didn’t come to the Demon Divine Region for whatever seeking knowledge. At least, it’s not just in order to pursue studies, he definitely has other goals! However, we’d better report this matter to the head priest and let him decide.”
The other two naturally did not have objections and nodded in response.
…
Ye Yuan naturally did not count on Stonefeather believing his words. Whatever admiring demon divine pills this sort of words, bluffing children was more like it.
Before he came, he already considered all of the dangers.
The situation of the demon race’s priests, Ye Yuan was also very clear of it.
Hence, he changed his former style, displaying his talent without the slightest hesitation, in order to make the temple value him highly.
Clearly, his goal was achieved.
Kong Lin brought Ye Yuan to a large building in the temple’s backyard and said, “This place is the priest apprentices’ residence. You just entered the temple and belong to a low-level priest apprentice. This is your priest apprentice attire. I believe that you’re also aware, the Priest Temple doesn’t raise trash. So all kinds of resources that you require need to be obtained using contribution points.”
Ye Yuan received the priest apprentice attire and said with a smile, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Kong!”
Kong Lin nodded slightly, turned around, and left.
He was actually very puzzled in his heart. With the talent that Ye Yuan displayed, he even thought that the three elders would take him in as a personal disciple.
But looking at it now, they did not.
Stonefeather even had him bring Ye Yuan over and did not have other instructions.
Which was also to say that Master wanted him to run his own course?
Stonefeather’s thoughts, he could not figure it out. So he brought Ye Yuan over according to the normal procedure.
“Heh, so what if talent is great? I want to see how many days you can stay here,” Kong Lin said with a cold smile.
He was the Priest Temple’s youngest priest but had his face smacked everywhere today. How could he not have any grievance in his heart?
Since the elders did not take Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple, they were likely guarded against him.
Then, letting him suffer some hardship, or even letting him get lost himself did not have anything wrong with it.
There were many old foxes among priest apprentices. Ye Yuan definitely could not get any benefits here.
After all, no matter how high Ye Yuan’s talent was, he was also just a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord.
Chapter 1750. Sky Character No. 6 Room |
“Eh, a newcomer is here. My God! Arranging him to stay in the Sky Character No. 6 Room, how big a grudge is there against him?!”
“The last time a kid entered the Sky Character No. 6 Room, his entire person was burned to black charcoal the next day, crying that he wanted to go home. It tickled us badly.”
“Heh heh, there’s a good show to watch again. Come, let’s go take a look.”
…
Walking into the room, three gazes shot over toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at them and said with a slight smile, “How do you do? I’m new here. I’m called Ye Yuan.”
No one answered him. Their eyes all were very unfriendly.
Ye Yuan naturally did not mind either and walked to a vacant spot on his own.
At this time, a burly man sitting on the bed spoke up.
“Who permitted you to sleep there?”
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard and said, “Not sleeping here, where do I sleep?”
The burly man nudged his mouth, pointing outside the door, and said, “At the corridor!”
Ye Yuan understood in his heart, these few guys were clearly taking him down a notch.
But how could he, Ye Yuan, be so easy to bully?
He nodded his head and said, “There? Indeed pretty good!”
When the burly man saw that Ye Yuan was so ‘sensible’, he grinned and said, “Since you know that it’s pretty good, why haven’t you scrammed over yet? This dormitory, Senior Apprentice Brother Hu Feng has the final say. Only when he allows you to come in can you come in.”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned to the lazy young man lying on the bed.
Judging from his outfit, he should be a high-level priest apprentice of the temple.
The Priest Temple recruited priest apprentices once every ten years. Even though the people who passed each time were very few, over the years, there were still quite a few priest trainees.
According to the Priest Temple’s rules, only those who passed the priest test within a thousand years could stay in the temple.
As for those who kept failing the Priest Temple, they would be assigned to posts in various major capital cities or other places.
All in all, they could not stay in the temple anymore.
This Hu Feng was likely a veteran here.
Hearing the burly man’s words, Ye Yuan said coolly, “So nice, Senior Brother better go and stay there. This little brother is new here and had best be inconvenienced a bit, it’s better to stay inside.”
When Hu Feng heard Ye Yuan’s words, a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
At this time, quite a few people already gathered around outside. Seeing this scene, each and every one of them was extremely excited.
“Ha, this kid is indeed a hothead. Tie Zhao’s hot-temper is about to explode right away, right?”
“Reckon that this kid will be burned to black charcoal straight away too! Tie Zhao’s fire controlling technique, apart from Hu Feng, no one can suppress him!”
That burly man called Tie Zhao froze when he heard that and said in a great rage, “A junior priest apprentice who just entered dared to mess with me? Heh, not showing you some colors, you won’t know how deep the temple’s waters are!”
Done talking, the burly man’s palm urged. A cluster of dark blue flames turned into a fire snake, shooting over towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. This fellow really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, to actually play fire in front of his ancestor who was an expert on fire.
Wasn’t this looking for abuse?
It was only to see Ye Yuan casually grab. That fire snake was directly caught in his palm.
Ye Yuan flipped his palm, that fire snake jumped with incomparable joy.
It was as if this divine fire was his own.
Hu Feng’s originally slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes seemingly looking shock.
Tie Zhao’s fire controlling technique, he was very clear. Ordinary people were not his match at all.
Now, it was actually easily resolved by this kid.
Tie Zhao himself opened his eyes wide, disbelief written all over his face.
Ye Yuan casually grabbed and he lost control of the divine fire!
“Merely thus!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Boss, this punk isn’t simple!” Tie Zhao said solemnly.
Hu Feng snorted coldly and said, “Entering the Sky Character No. 6 Room, even a dragon has to coil for me! Attack!”
With a word of command, three fire dragons split into three directions, flying towards Ye Yuan in unison. The temperature in the room suddenly rose.
Especially Hu Feng, his fire controlling technique was truly impressive. The fire dragon was clearly much stronger than the other two.
Ye Yuan’s face changed, both hands rapidly forming seals, and actually barely blocked the three fire dragons one-on-three.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s strained appearance, Hu Feng smiled coldly and said, “I thought that you had three heads and six arms, aren’t you still submitting obediently? Punk, I changed my mind, tonight, you’re sleeping in the latrine!”
Tie Zhao laughed loudly and said, “Brat, to dare provoke Boss Hu, you’re really asking for a beating! But to be able to force Boss Hu to personally take action, you can be sufficiently proud.”
Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and changed to a relaxed appearance as he said, “I gave way to you guys, so don’t take it seriously. This latrine, you guys had better go sleep yourself there.”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan’s fingers moved rapidly. The three fire dragons actually turned the spearhead and flew toward their owners!
Hu Feng three people were currently being pleased with themselves. Seeing this scene, their faces could not help changing drastically.
Want to run, but it was already too late.
Bang!
Three figures became three black charcoals.
The three people were pitch-black from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes still blinking.
The residual head had yet to dissipate. Smoke kept curling on top of the three people’s heads, like whole roast ducks.
“How is this possible? Senior Apprentice Brother Hu Feng actually lost in a fire battle!”
“More than just lost, their own divine fires were actually reverse-controlled by people!”
“Who on earth is this brat, one-versus-three and he actually completely won the other party!”
…
A wave of exclamations rose outside the house, being dumbstruck with astonishment by this scene before their eyes.
Hu Feng’s fire controlling technique was ranked at the top among all of the priest apprentices.
Today, he actually lost to a kid who just entered!
“Pffft!”
Hu Feng spat out a mouthful of smoke and bellowed, “Attack for me, shred this punk!”
Ye Yuan did not deal a heavy blow. He just put the three into a sorry state, burning all of their hair from head to toe.
At this time, Hu Feng was already unbelievably furious.
With an order, the three people pounced over as ferocious as tigers and wolves.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said coolly, “Can’t fight with fire and want to use force? A pity, you guys miscalculated!”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
It was only to hear three loud noises. Three figures shot back in reverse, colliding until the entire house was in a mess.
With this, everyone was stupefied.
These three people, Hu Feng was late-stage rank four, while the other two were both peak middle-stage rank four.
Such a line-up actually could not even receive a move from Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan looked at the three people indifferently and said, “The three of you know what to do?”
“G-Got it! We … We’ll sleep in the latrine!” Hu Feng wailed.
His face was pitch-black, unable to see his expression.
But no need to see and one would also know that his current expression must be very ugly.
“Know and you’re still not moving? Do you want me to send you over?” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The three people said in unison and scrambled out of the door, and really ran over in the direction of the latrine.
Seeing these three people’s wretched back views, everyone was stupefied.
“Goodness me, I guessed the beginning but didn’t guess the ending.”
“Who could have thought that the overbearing Hu Feng would actually have this day?”
“This newcomer is so formidable! Regardless of whether alchemy or martial arts, it’s completely crushing!”
Chapter 1751. Gaining Something Without Risking Anything |
“Did you hear? A new-arrival low-level apprentice dispatched Hu Feng and another two people to spend the night in the latrine the moment he came.”
“Real or fake? A newcomer is so impressive?”
“Heh, don’t you think it’s incredible? Competing in fire control, three people added up were not his match. Competing in combat strength, three people added up were similarly not his match.”
“It’s nonsense, isn’t it? These three added together, there are few who dare to provoke among priest apprentices!”
“Heh, you go to the latrine and take a look at the three of their miserable appearances, and you would know. They are still there right now!”
…
The news of Ye Yuan beating up Hu Feng three people spread throughout the entire trainee area very quickly.
But he himself did not have any awareness and slept beautifully, then headed to the Tianlu Pavilion.
Tianlu Pavilion was the place where the Priest Temple stored classics, pill formulas, pill refining techniques, fire controlling arts, as well as basic medicinal theory, etc; everything that one could wish for.
Since Ye Yuan came to the Priest Temple, he naturally would not give up on the chance to learn the demon race’s alchemy skills.
With his temperament, he naturally started learning from the most basic stuff.
Ye Yuan was clearly, those things that he secretly learned in the priest apprentice examination, were all relied on his powerful Alchemy Dao realm, as well as exceedingly high horizons, forcefully adding some human methods onto demon divine pills.
