Unrivaled Medicine God, page 90
But, it was already too late.
An extremely horrifying energy surged between Black Crow and Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan's body suddenly sent out a faint yellow flame which intertwined with the Black Crow Yin Fire!
"Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! It's Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! You . . . You don't want to live anymore? Two types of essence fires coming together will cause a flame explosion! We will all die! Stop! Quickly stop!" Black Crow Old Man shouted at the top of his voice.
Essence fires were born from heaven and earth. Even a Tier 1 essence fire was an object with a spirit.
All heaven and earth spiritual objects had their own pride. Therefore, two types of essence fires could not come into contact with each other no matter what, especially under the circumstance were the two kinds of essence fires were at around the same rank.
Once the two types of essence fires contact together, the two different attributed essence fires would produce an intense friction, and from this, it would rise to a devastatingly horrifying explosion!
This sort of explosion was hailed as Flame Explosion!
The higher the ranks of the two different essence fires, the more potent the explosion produced.
The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a Tier 4 essence fire while the Black Crow Yin Fire, through Black Crow Old Man's careful nurturing, had already approached Tier 4.
The might of the flame explosion produced by these two types of essence fires coming together could be imagined!
"Hur hur, you're overthinking it. The only one who will die is you."
Facing the horrifying energy coming off from the two types of essence fires colliding, Ye Yuan was quite indifferent to the situation.
To Ye Yuan, he could be killed by experts, but would not be burned to death by fire. Even if these two types of flames, one of them being Tier 4, and the other Quasi-Tier 4.
The two types of flames interwove together, setting off a terrifying energy vortex, pulling firmly onto the two people.
Black Crow Old Man fought desperately to try and break free of this binding force, but it was futile. Sensing the increasingly harrowing energy, Black Crow Old Man had a never before feeling of hopelessness.
What was scary was not death, but the process of waiting for death!
"Brat, you can still make it if you pull back now! The two of us will withdraw our essence fire at the same time! Then, the flame explosion won't occur! Otherwise, jade and stone will be burned alike!" Black Crow Old Man was so anxious that he was covered with sweat.
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Enjoy the might of the flame explosion properly. I won't accompany you!"
The flame explosion was already formed. Ye Yuan had no need to continue staying. Otherwise, he would really have to perish together with Black Crow Old Man.
Ye Yuan's figure moved, like fish shaking off the fetters of the flame explosion vortex, swimming towards outside the cave.
Black Crow Old Man's eyes nearly popped out when he saw this scene!
Such a powerful binding force that even he, this Sea Transformation Realm could not break free of, just how did this brat accomplish it?
However, he did not have the time to contemplate this now as the explosion was about to occur, and he was at the heart of the flame explosion. Once it blew up, he would die for sure!
Black Crow Old Man tried various methods but was ultimately unable to shake off this powerful suction force. He also tried various means of trying to eliminate the flame explosion, but it was a wasted effort.
Ye Yuan was currently swimming in the air like a fish and finally arrived at the cave entrance.
The flame explosion's shackling force was only up to here. Ye Yuan collapsed onto the ground weakly and was unable to move anymore.
At the same time, Nanfeng Zhirou appeared out of thin air.
"Ye Yuan! Are you alright?" Seeing Ye Yuan's miserable state, Nanfeng Zhirou hurriedly rushed forward.
Ye Yuan smiled tragically and said, "You look at my appearance, does this look fine? Enough nonsense, quickly leave this place. This place is about to blow up. I can't move right now. Quickly bring me out of this place!"
Finishing, Ye Yuan's eyes turned upwards, and he thoroughly fainted.
In reality, since the beginning, Ye Yuan already detected the essence fire on Black Crow Old Man's body. It was also then that Ye Yuan already had a strategy.
Ye Yuan was very clear that with his realm, let alone killing Black Crow Old Man, he could not even achieve letting his attack touch him; even if he consumed the Tier 2 Five Elements Spirit Link Pill.
And on Ye Yuan's body, his greatest killing weapon was the newly refined Tier 4 essence fire, Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Only it could cause harm to Black Crow Old Man!
Therefore, unless it reached the last moment, Ye Yuan absolutely could not show this trump card.
However, Ye Yuan was very sensitive towards essence fires. He could faintly sense that there was an essence fire whose might was not weak inside Black Crow Old Man's body.
This, however, provided Ye Yuan with a new idea, and that was a flame explosion!
Once the flame explosion could form, then it would not be a matter of hurting Black Crow Old Man anymore!
Therefore, Ye Yuan consolidated at every step as he advanced, and slowly lured out Black Crow Old Man's greatest trick: the Black Crow Yin Fire!
Black Crow Old Man seemed to be incomparably powerful, but he fell into the trap Ye Yuan designed for him step by step.
All the way to the end where Ye Yuan used avatar bodies to lure Black Crow Old Man, and he himself takes the opportunity to ambush. It was to create a false impression of having exhausted all his tricks for Black Crow Old Man.
Very unfortunately, Black Crow Old Man fell for it . . .
By the time he reacted to it, the flame explosion was already formed. Even if Black Crow Old Man wanted to run, he also could not escape!
Nevertheless, Ye Yuan's research regarding essence fires was simply unimaginable to the people of the Boundless World.
In his previous life, he once owned nine types of essence fires. When he had nothing to do, he would place these essence fires together to play, so as to better understand the characteristics of essence fires.
Ye Yuan had already long been bored with the flame explosion which Black Crow Old Man did not even dare to think about. How could it trap him?
However, in order to execute the flame explosion, Ye Yuan also paid an extremely huge price.
Even though he refined the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, his fleshy body, meridians, dantian, were only at the Spirit Condensation Realm standard. They simply could not withstand the Tier 4 essence fire.
That was to say, although Ye Yuan refined a Tier 4 essence fire, he could only suppress the power of the essence fire released when refining pills and doing battle to Tier 2 standard.
And just now, Ye Yuan brought out the entire might of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. One could imagine just how great the damage caused to his body was.
If not for Ye Yuan's control towards essence fires being already at the peak of perfection, he would have been burned by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame until not even residue would be left currently.
Even so, his present state was an indescribable mess. He could only call out Nanfeng Zhirou to bring him to escape.
Boom!
An incomparably oppressive explosion sounded out. The entire underground cave started quaking.
Chapter 179. Ye Hang Exits Seclusion! |
The State of Qin's capital.
These few days had been relatively lively.
No reason other than because the Drunken Star Manor had sent out invitations to organize a Pill Grading Assembly.
For close to a month, the Drunken Star Manor could be said to be infinitely glorious and faintly had the manner of controlling the State of Qin's alchemy industry,
Ever since the Essence Gathering Pill was launched, the Drunken Star Manor had been as crowded as a marketplace. Every day, there would be large batches of martial artists gathering, just to beg to purchase the Essence Gathering Pill.
And this time, Wan Donghai even unleashed a big move, organizing this Pill Grading Assembly, and inviting virtually all the upper echelons in the State of Qin.
It was said that the Drunken Star Manor wanted to launch three new medicinal pills all at once at this Pill Grading Assembly. It would be a radical revolution to the State of Qin's alchemy world!
Such explosive news would naturally cause massive commotions in the State of Qin.
Because of the Essence Gathering Pill as the precedent, the news released by Drunken Star Manor would naturally stir up all the martial artists' appetite.
An Essence Gathering Pill already changed the alchemy's power balance in the State of Qin. If they launched three new types of medicinal pills at once, what kind of change would it trigger?
Most likely, not as simple as bringing down Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.
No matter what, not only did the Drunken Star Manor's actions draw the attention of all the upper echelons in the State of Qin, it also aroused a huge focus from the commoner martial artists.
Even though the Drunken Star Manor's reputation among demonic beast hunters was already bad, there were still many people purchasing medicinal pills here.
This was something that could not be helped. After all, Essence Qi Realm martial artists made up the largest group, and the Essence Gathering Pill was a unique medicinal pill from the Drunken Star Manor.
These martial artists had no other choice!
And starting from that time, the Drunken Star Manor had taken a series of measures to suppress the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Now, they already virtually monopolized the State of Qin's medicinal pill market.
Other than those deadly loyal like Shi Kaiyong, the vast majority of the people were either forced to or took the initiative to go to the Drunken Star Manor to buy medicinal pills.
The situation for the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was already at the extent of a hair's breadth from death.
And currently, Ye Hang was still in closed-seclusion.
. . . . . .
At the Wan Family, a middle-aged man in fine clothing sat opposite Wan Donghai.
Composure and overbearingness exuded from the middle-aged man. In terms of aura, he was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Wan Donghai!
"Brother Yulin, this time, our Wan Family and Su Family joining hands; we must rule the State of Qin's alchemy world!" Wan Donghai seemed to be extremely proud of his success at present.
The middle-aged man in finery was precisely the Su Family's Family Head, Su Yulin! An existence who could make the State of Qin quake just by stomping his feet!
Su Yulin was not as delighted as Wan Donghai. He just said lightly, "Ruling the alchemy world is but the beginning. After Manor Lord Wan sits on the highest commanding seat in the State of Qin's alchemy world, don't forget about our agreement!"
"What are you saying, Brother Yulin. Our two families have collaborated for so many years, don't Brother Yulin understand my, Wan Donghai's, character yet? The Nanfeng Family has grown weak and cannot carry the State of Qin anymore long ago. The Su Family replacing them is only the common will of the people. This Wan naturally will not go against heaven!"
"Haha, then that's good! This Su will wish Manor Lord Wan in advance for fulfilling a long-cherished wish and thoroughly defeating the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!"
"Haha, isn't that all thanks to Brother Yulin? If not for the new medicinal pill Brother Yulin provided, this Wan also won't have today! Rest assure, Brother Yulin. In future, when Brother Yulin replaces Nanfeng Yi, this Wan will be the Imperial Family's Royal Alchemist!"
"En, Manor Lord Wan has the heart. It's just that I'm still somewhat worried at the moment. The news about the Pill Grading Assembly has already been released for such a long time, but there's no movement from Nanfeng Yi at all. Could it be that he's planning something?"
"Brother Yulin is thinking too much! The talents in the Imperial Family have withered. What other capable person is there apart from the old undying, Nanfeng Lou? Oh, right, I still haven't congratulated Brother Yulin for the breakthrough to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm! Now, other than Wu Daofeng and Jiang Yunhe these two neutral parties, who is a match for Brother Yulin in the entire State of Qin? Isn't Brother Yuling being able to break through at this time proving who the mandate of heaven should belong to from another perspective?"
"Haha, perhaps I'm really overthinking things. But it's just these few days, the envoy from the high sect is already set to arrive at the Dan Wu Academy. With the support of the envoy, the transition of authority should also be smoother."
But Wan Donghai's face changed when he heard that and sensibly did not continue the conversation.
So, it turned out that the Su Family had such a deep background in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. No wonder they dared to do such a heaven-defying thing. Su Yulin revealing this matter to him was also giving him a disguised warning, to make him not have overly inordinate ambitions.
"Ha-Haha, looks like Brother Yulin is really fully prepared! Oh yes, I heard that Ye Hang's son participated in the Endless Trials and has not returned this whole time. He probably already died in the Endless Forest, right? Now, Ye Hang even lost his son. Most likely, he will be in a thundering rage after exiting seclusion." Wan Donghai changed the topic very sensibly.
Who would know that it was still okay if Wan Donghai did not mention it, but once it was mentioned, Su Yulin's face changed.
The one who was missing was not just Ye Hang's son. His son also went missing too! No matter how Su Yulin ruminated, he could not understand. He sent the Chang brothers to assist his son. Why wasn't there any news up till now?"
Could it be that after they killed Ye Yuan, they encountered some other matter and was delayed?
"Humph! The Pill Grading Assembly is coming soon, Manor Lord Wan shouldn't bother about these minor details and focus on the bigger things! This Su still has some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first!" Su Yulin said unhappily.
Wan Donghai felt rather bewildered and did not know where he had offended Su Yulin.
. . . . . .
A martial artist with a manservant appearance walked loftily into the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. The manager Feng San dozed off listlessly and did not see anyone enter from the start.
"Is there still anyone alive? Someone come out!" the manservant called out very haughtily.
Feng San was startled awake. When he saw the manservant's outfit, he could not help being enraged. "This punk from God knows where dares to be so ill-mannered here! Do you know what this place is?!"
The manservant gave a side glance at Feng San and said smugly, "This Little Lord naturally knows what this place is. Just a broken store that's about to close down. Feng San, this Little Lord sees that you have some capabilities. How about coming to the Drunken Star Manor and make a living with this little lord!"
Feng San was enraged when he heard that and said, "An errand boy servant actually dares to make me, Feng San, mix around with you?! Why don't you take a piss and check out your reflection? Who do you think you are?!"
"Heh heh, don't be angry, Manager Feng. It's true that I'm an errand boy, but I'm afraid that Manager Feng's current situation is worse than running errands, right? Me letting you mix around with me is giving you a chance! If not, when the Pill Grading Assembly commences, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be so easy for Manager Feng to find a job then."
Feng San reached out and pointed his finger at the door and said furiously, "Get out for your father! If you don't get lost, your father will throw you out of here! Even if I, Feng San, were to starve to death, I wouldn't go to the Drunken Star Manor to lick boots!"
The manservant took out an invitation card unhurriedly and waved it around in front of Feng San, saying, "See this? My family's Manor Lord specially issued an invitation to your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in consideration of former relations. If Manager Feng continues to chase me out, that would be breaking off from the State of Qin's alchemy world!"
Feng San was unable to hold back his wrath anymore. This punk was here to deliver the invitation to humiliate the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!
The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was already like this. Why would they attend some Pill Grading Assembly? To reach their faces out for people to smack?
"Bring your lousy invitation along and scram for your father! Otherwise, I'm really going to take action!" as he said this, Feng San pulled up his sleeves and was really about to beat people up.
Just then, a deep voice sounded out. "Stop, Feng San! This invitation card, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion accepts! You, go back and tell Wan Donghai that the Pill Grading Assembly, I, Ye Hang, will definitely be there!"
Chapter 180. Nanfeng Yi |
"Owner! You finally left seclusion!"
Feng San who was raging turned around and saw Ye Hang. He immediately rejoiced.
Nobody could have understood just how Feng San had survived over this one month period!
But when he saw Ye Hang exit seclusion, everything was worth it!
"Tch, isn't it just leaving seclusion? What's the fuss about? At this time, what the use even if you exit seclusion?"
Seeing Ye Hang, the manservant was also very shocked. But he quickly puffed up his chest again.
Our Drunken Star Manor is the strongest now!
Even if Ye Hang exited seclusion, could he stem the raging tide?
Impossible!
"You dare to disrespect Owner? Courting death!" Feng San was enraged when he heard that and wanted to slap that manservant to death in one palm.
"Forget it. Just a small fry. Let him go," Ye hang said coolly.
With his status, there was no need to square every detail with a small fry.
"Haha, Pavilion Lord Ye is indeed a person who knows the grand situation! I think that as long as Pavilion Lord Ye pledges allegiance to our Manor Lord at the Pill Grading Assembly, he should forgive you magnanimously! Oh, I've already delivered the invitation. Goodbye, Pavilion Lord Ye!"
