Unrivaled Medicine God, page 863
Kong Yun smiled coldly and said, “A fool who overestimates his own strength. Even if he wants to posture, he also needs to pick something suitable!”
Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with Kong Yun’s words a lot.
This showing off was over the top!
…
At noon on the second day, Kong Yun had long arrived at the mission hall.
Same as him, there were already quite a few people waiting here.
“Kong Yun, heard that you were also kept in check by Ye Yuan yesterday?”
Kong Yun turned around to look. It was Chi Feng.
This guy heard that Ye Yuan took on a few impossible missions and naturally ran over to watch the show today.
Being able to see Ye Yuan get disgraced was also a very refreshing thing.
Kong Yun’s face fell and he said, “Being known as the temple’s number one genius, I even thought that he was some remarkable figure. Turns out that it was a fool!”
Chi Feng smiled and said, “May not be a fool, but being able to force him to this point, there’s probably only you.”
Hearing Chi Feng’s words, Kong Yun was also secretly pleased with himself in his heart.
“If he chose 6-star missions, I’d really still be a little worried. But, he chose 7-star. Forget that he chose 7-star, he even only picked some impossible missions. I say, what is he if not a fool?” Kong Yun said with a cold smile.
Chi Feng naturally did not think that Ye Yuan was a fool. But he similarly did not think that these missions Ye Yuan chose could be completed.
“In my view, he probably won’t be coming today. These missions are totally impossible to complete. However, 7-star and above missions need elders to come to verify and accept them. Elder Stonefeather already came. I want to see how he gives an account!” Chi Feng said with a smile.
Hearing that, Kong Yun also had a smile on his face.
After today, the title of the temple’s number one genius would return to him once again.
“Came, came! I didn’t expect that Ye Yuan really dared to come!”
“Heh heh, coming or not, he’ll become the temple’s laughing stock in the future!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Ye Yuan slowly walked in.
Ye Yuan completely ignored the other people’s gazes and walked straight to the place to hand in missions.
“I’m here to hand in missions,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
That priest trainee hurriedly said, “Lord Ye Yuan, please wait a moment. I’ll go invite Elder Stonefeather!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head, that priest trainee turned around and left.
“Heh heh, putting on an appearance! These missions, if you can complete one of them, I, Kong Yun, will write my two characters upside down!” Kong Yun scorned with a jeering smile.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a speechless look, “Yesterday, wanted to pluck your head for me to kick as a ball. Today, wanted to write your name upside down. The things that your parents gave you, do you not cherish them like so?”
Kong Yun could not help choking when he heard that and said with a cold snort, “Stop pretending here! I want to see until when you can pretend.”
At this time, Stonefeather slowly walked out.
He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise too.
This kid actually challenged 7-star missions all at once. Furthermore, it was all some extremely difficult missions. This was simply looking for abuse!”
“Elder Stonefeather!” Ye Yuan gave a bow to Stonefeather.
Stonefeather nodded his head and said, “Heard that you picked ten of the most difficult 7-star missions?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “That’s right, Elder Stonefeather please verify and accept.”
As he said, Ye Yuan put ten storage rings on the counter.
Stonefeather’s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, “Ten missions, you … you completed them all?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Since Ye Yuan drew them, I naturally have confidence in completing. Elder, please!”
Stonefeather was slightly surprised in his heart. He picked up a storage ring, sinking his divine sense inside, and started verifying it.
When Kong Yun, Chi Feng, and the rest saw this scene, they all had sneers on their faces.
However, Stonefeather’s expressions suddenly changed drastically and he looked at Ye Yuan in shock as he said, “This … This Candle Ren Immortal True Pill was refined by you?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Elder Stonefeather must be joking. Could it be that there’s still someone doing it on my behalf?”
When the others saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely surprised.
Could it be that Ye Yuan really completed one mission?
Forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart, Stonefeather picked up the second storage ring and checked it again.
Following that, was the third one, fourth … all the way until the tenth!
The expression on Stonefeather’s face became more and more shocked, and more and more incredulous.
His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was like he had seen a ghost.
When everyone saw Stonefeather’s rich expressions, each and every one of them was similarly extremely shocked.
What in the world did Ye Yuan do, to actually make Elder Stonefeather lose composure like so?
Chapter 1760. Try Saying It Again |
“Elder Stonefeather, this …”
Kong Yun was long already not as calm as before anymore.
Stonefeather, a Five-star High Priest actually lost composure like so. This was too abnormal.
Stonefeather waved his hand dismissively and said, “Don’t talk to me; let me calm down for a while!”
He held those ten storage rings repeatedly, looked at one, and put another one down, examining each one carefully continuously.
When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them clicked their tongues in wonder.
However, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan became different.
No idea how long had passed either, Stonefeather finally recovered from his shock.
He heaved a long sigh of relief, calmed his emotions down, and said to Ye Yuan, “I heard that you never received 3-star and above missions at all in this half a year, how are you able to complete 7-star missions all of a sudden?”
Same as everyone, Stonefeather was also very perplexed.
He knew that with Ye Yuan’s Alchemy Dao foundation and talent, he should pick up demon divine pill techniques very quickly.
But he completely did not expect that it would be fast to such an inconceivable extent.
When he checked these ten missions just now, they were all level seven difficulty demon divine pills!
Furthermore, they were very high difficulty level seven difficulty medicinal pills!
Demon divine pills of this difficulty, even the elders did not have confidence in completing within one or two times.
Not only did Ye Yuan complete them, but he also completed them very perfectly.
Each kind of medicinal pill reached divine-grade!
Refining level seven demon divine pills to divine-grade, this was simply a fairytale-like thing.
Even they, these Five-star high priests, did not possibly have anyone able to do it too.
This was the reason why he was so shocked.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Understanding one aspect, understanding all aspects! Refining high difficulty medicinal pills might not need going up one level by one level when refining. As long as one lays down a solid foundation, they can naturally achieve mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject.”
Stonefeather’s gaze turned intent and he praised, “A fine ‘understanding one aspect, understanding all aspects’. It’s just that how many can do it to this extent? Ye Yuan, you indeed didn’t disappoint me!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Many thanks, Elder Stonefeather!”
Stonefeather nodded his head and said to the priest trainee, “Ye Yuan’s ten missions, give him 30 thousand contribution points for each one!”
“3-30 thousand? Elder Stonefeather, is … is there a mistake?” Kong Yun said with a look of disbelief when he heard this.
What did 30 thousand points per mission mean?
He, Kong Yun, did not even have that many contribution points by taking on several dozen 5-star missions!
One should not look at how Chi Feng gave away several hundred contribution points to Ye Yuan in the psat. Actually, this was already not a small sum.
Accepting a 4-star mission, after completing it, one would only get several dozen to 100 contribution points.
For Chi Feng to want to earn several hundred contribution points, he needed to do quite a few 4-star missions.
As for 2000 contribution points, Chi Feng had to strive for at least quite a few years!
Now, Ye Yuan’s one mission was worth 30 thousand contribution points, this was too fake!
Kong Yun’s first reaction was that Elder Stonefeather did it on purpose, wanting to use Ye Yuan’s achievement as a contrast.
“There’s naturally no mistake! Ye Yuan’s 10 missions, each one was completed perfectly. Awarding someone according to a 7-star mission’s peak value, it’s 30 thousand for one,” Stonefeather said coolly.
Kong Yun’s expression changed drastically and he said in terror, “P-Peak value? How is this possible?”
Peak value, only under the circumstances of completing divine-grade, would the reward be given.
Could it be that Ye Yuan’s ten missions all reached divine-grade?
Missions that even elders could not complete, how was this possible?
Stonefeather’s face fell and he said in a cold voice, “Kong Yun, could it be that you’re questioning this elder?”
Kong Yun’s expression changed and he hurriedly said, “D-Dare not! I just … just …”
Stonefeather gave a cold snort and said, “Rather than being jealous of men of talent, why not spend more time on cultivation! I hpe that today’s events will sound a wake-up call for you all!”
Finished talking, Stonefeather turned around and left.
Ye Yuan looked at Kong Yun and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Now, try saying the words you said yesterday loudly again?”
When Kong Yun heard that, his entire face became incomparably embarrassed.
He was still pledging in all seriousness yesterday, saying that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to complete the missions.
The reason why he dared to be so arrogant was that he was certain there was no way Ye Yuan could finish any of the ten missions.
But today, not only did Ye Yuan complete it, furthermore, he completed it in a terrifyingly brilliant manner, too perfectly.
Seeing Kong Yun’s appearance, Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, “A coward who has the balls to say, but doesn’t have the balls to act! If you don’t have strength, don’t posture in front of others; you’ll get slapped! If you can complete 7-star missions, come in front of me to raise a hue at that time.”
Done talking, Ye Yuan swaggered off.
…
Coming out of Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan was stopped by the white-haired old man again.
With the first time, there was naturally the second time, the third time.
Ever since that time, each time Ye Yuan came out of Tianlu Pavilion, he would be stopped by the white-haired old man who sat down and debated on the Dao with him.
Because he discovered that Ye Yuan’s insights were extremely unique and could often set people thinking.
Some areas of doubts and omissions he had in the past also had a feeling of becoming enlightened at once.
Before encountering Ye Yuan, the white-haired old man thought that he had already thoroughly understood the Tianlu Pavilion’s classics.
All the way until that time he tested Ye Yuan, he discovered that he actually still had many questions that he did not understand thoroughly.
Of course, Ye Yuan was also willing to approach it with this white-haired old man.
This old man’s attainments in demon divine pills were absolutely extraordinary.
To Ye Yuan, a novice, the white-haired old man’s guidance tend to give him a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the moonlight.
This kind of exchange was naturally greatly beneficial to the two.
Ye Yuan’s improvement being so fast was not unrelated to this white-haired old man.
After a bout of intense discussions, the white-haired old man suddenly said, “I heard that this half a year, you questioned the various elders during their sermons, making them unable to step down?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “That will depend on how you view the matter. Actually, I feel that raising questions when you have them, all can discuss together and improve together. This is a good thing. It’s just that to some elders who have already been famous for a long time, face is clearly more important than strength.”
The white-haired old man burst into laughter when he heard it and said, “Well said! Those fools think that they are number one under the heavens, but they don’t know that there’s heaven beyond heaven, and that there’s always someone better! Their Alchemy Dao is merely but some superficial knowledge!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Junior always felt that talent can have differences, but attitude can completely have no differences. Hiding your problems and not taking remedial measures, one can only come to a standstill. The disciple doesn’t need to be inferior to the master, the master doesn’t need to be inferior to the disciple. Some of the student’s insights can perhaps let the teacher have another bout of gains. It’s just that they insist that I’m causing trouble,so I also can’t do anything about it.”
The white-haired old man chortled with laughter and said, “You, brat, are really different from the rest! But I heard that they have already joined hands, planning to teach you a good lesson. You have to be a little more careful.”
Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, “Teach me a lesson? How so?”
The white-haired old man lightly stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Have you heard of the eternal chess game ‘Ask Not’?”
Ye Yuan shook his head, clearly not having the slightest clue about this.
Chapter 1761. Eternal Chess Game “Ask Not“ |
The white-haired old man changed to a fascinated expression and slowly said, “50 million years ago, my demon race’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest attained Dao. In order to right the demon race’s name, he went to challenge the human race’s Medicine Ancestor! Who knew that these two created a new path, and actually integrated Alchemy Dao into Go, playing an eternal chess game called ‘Ask Not’!”
When he heard that, Ye Yuan said in surprise, “Challenging the Medicine Ancestor! The demon race’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was actually so powerful?”
The white-haired old man’s face fell, and he said with a black face, “What do you mean? Could it be that our demon race deserves to be worse than your human race?”
Ye Yuan laughed awkwardly and said, “Huhu, Senior, don’t blame me. Junior has always heard that the Medicine Ancestor is only half a step away from stepping into the realm of Dao Ancestor. So I instinctively thought that the Medicine Ancestor is this Heavenspan World’s strongest alchemist.”
In reality, even Dustless was also not clear how powerful the demon race’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was.
After all, in the eyes of these top characters, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was merely a junior too.
When the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest played chess, the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was still at no idea which faraway corner. There was also no Immortal Grove World.
The white-haired old man huffed, but his expression became much more relaxed. Letting out a sigh, he said, “Actually, what you thought is also right. Even though the Sacred Ancestor High Priest was powerful, he was still a hair inferior to the Medicine Ancestor in the end. This game of chess, it was still the Sacred Ancestor High Priest who lost in the end.”
Ye Yuan was secretly startled. He completely did not expect that the demon race’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was actually so powerful, to be able to contend with the Medicine Ancestor in Alchemy Dao.
In the notion that Dustless indoctrinated to Ye Yuan, the Medicine Ancestor was an invincible existence. It was completely impossible for there to be someone who could rival him in Alchemy Dao.
One had to know, he was an extraordinary person who had half a foot stepped into Dao Ancestor Realm.
In Alchemy Dao, he could be said to be standing at the apex of this world.
However, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest could actually play with the Medicine Ancestor and only lose by a hair.
This strength, you probably could not find a second one in the entire Heavenspan World.
“Senior, losing is losing, why was this chess game called ‘Ask Not’?” Ye Yuan asked.
The white-haired old man glanced at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, “I said that this was a chess game, but actually, it was these two people’s understanding of Dao. Back then, when he reached a dilemma, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest sat in front of the chess game for 100 thousand years. In the end, his hair and beard turned white, and he was seriously injured and vomited blood. He finally opened his mouth and asked the Medicine Ancestor just where did he lose. The Medicine Ancestor just smiled and said four words ‘Ask not! Ask not!’. The name of this chess game also came from this.”
“And then?” Ye Yuan said.
“It was said that the Sacred Ancestor High Priest had always taken this to heart and wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge and redress hatred. But he also knew that his gap from the Medicine Ancestor. Hence, after the returned to the demon race, he established the Priest Temple and took in disciples extensively, in hopes of being able to groom an existence who could contend with the Medicine Ancestor. At the same time, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest even reduced the complexity, engraving many copies of ‘Ask Not’, and distributed them to each Priest Temple. As long as someone could crack ‘Ask Not’, they would have the qualifications to directly enter the Priest Temple’s headquarters,” said the white-haired old man.
Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with Kong Yun’s words a lot.
This showing off was over the top!

The Medicine Ancestor just smiled and said four words ‘Ask not! Ask not!’. The name of this chess game also came from this.”
“And then?” Ye Yuan said.
“It was said that the Sacred Ancestor High Priest had always taken this to heart and wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge and redress hatred. But he also knew that his gap from the Medicine Ancestor. Hence, after the returned to the demon race, he established the Priest Temple and took in disciples extensively, in hopes of being able to groom an existence who could contend with the Medicine Ancestor. At the same time, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest even reduced the complexity, engraving many copies of ‘Ask Not’, and distributed them to each Priest Temple. As long as someone could crack ‘Ask Not’, they would have the qualifications to directly enter the Priest Temple’s headquarters,” said the white-haired old man.
