Unrivaled Medicine God, page 92
"Haha, Your Majesty finally brought out some sincerity. However, my Ye Family does not have any request. Instead, we can gift the Nanfeng Family centuries of prosperity! My only demand is that within these few centuries, the Nanfeng Family is not to have the slightest bit of jealousy towards the Ye Family, and to let the Ye Family stand independently from the State of Qin's regime!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
"What did you say?!" Nanfeng Yi did not even think that Ye Yuan would actually raise such a request.
But Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I, Ye Yuan, will be serving as this chess piece! The Pill Grading Assembly is nothing but seeking popularity through hogwash to me! Not only can I cooperate with the Imperial Family to wreck the Pill Grading Assembly, but I can also coordinate with the Imperial Family to eradicate the Wan Family and the Su Family! It's just that I don't know if Your Majesty has such resolve!"
Nanfeng Yi sucked in a cold breath. Eradicating the Wan Family and the Su Family; not that he had never thought about it, but he had never dared to have such a notion.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect's Ouyang Family was not a family clan that the Nanfeng Family could afford to offend. Nanfeng Yi did not dare take this risk.
But now, Ye Yuan directly said to destroy the Su Family!
"This . . . Why not wait for your father to exit seclusion before discussing again?"
Ye Yuan curled his lips. He was very disdainful towards Nanfeng Yi's resolve. As the Emperor, how could he be so soft and irresolute?
It was true that the Su Family had a strong supporter, but if the Nanfeng Family kept giving in, it would ultimately only make the Su Family insatiable.
Nanfeng Yi was still not clear on this point until now!
Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said indifferently, "Looks like Your Majesty still has an inadequate understanding of me, Ye Yuan. I advise Your Majesty to chat more with Teacher Nanfeng as well as Senior Apprentice Sister before making this decision. I can only give Your Majesty these words: indecisiveness invariably leads to trouble!"
Finishing, Ye Yuan spoke no more. This conversation naturally also ended like that.
. . . . . .
The next day, Ye Yuan returned to the Dan Wu Academy. It caused a tremendous sensation in the academy!
"Hey, did you hear? Ye Yuan and Senior Apprentice Sister Feng disappeared for nearly a month in the Endless Trials. Now, they actually returned!"
"Yeah. I even thought that they died in the Endless Forest. Who knew that they actually came out!"
"Hey hey, Ye Yuan this person is bequeathed with destiny. I'm afraid that he won't die so easily! It's just . . . Ye Yuan came back, but Su Yishan still hasn't returned!"
"Uh . . . Is there some connection in between?"
"Are you retarded? Isn't it obvious? In the Endless Trials this time, the heavyweight class characters who went missing, other than Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou, is only Su Yishan! And now, only Ye Yuan and Senior Apprentice Sister Feng returned. Most likely . . ."
"You're saying . . ."
"Shh . . ."
Originally, coming back from the Endless Trials was no big deal. But the time which Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou went missing for way too long, way past the time set by the academy.
And the Martial Roll expert Su Yishan disappeared at the same time. There was massive abnormality revealed in between.
Now, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou came back at the same time. Only Su Yishan had yet to return. There were already many people who guessed what happened during this one month.
After all, there had been quite a few cases like this in the past. Students who had conflicts went to participate in the Endless Trials, but only one party returned in the end.
The other party remained in the Endless Forest forever.
Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered with these rumors. Right now, he was paying a visit to Huyan Yong.
"Haha, Ye Yuan! I knew that you won't die so easily!" Huyan Yong could not help laughing loudly when he saw Ye Yuan.
"Many thanks for Teacher Huyan's concern! Actually, this trip was really almost certain death. But luckily, there were more scares than dangers in the end. There were even some small gains," Ye Yuan said smilingly.
"En, not bad, not bad! Having gone to the Endless Forest once and actually directly breaking through to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Really did not disappoint me!" Huyan Yong praised verbally, but waves were surging in his heart.
Even though Huyan Yong viewed Ye Yuan very highly, his improvement speed was too rapid!
This had only been a few days and Ye Yuan actually directly broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
Since when had Spirit Condensation Realm become so easy to breakthrough?
"Haha, I wonder how long Teacher Huyan has been stagnated at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.
"What are you asking that for? Uh, let me see, roughly five or six years already. I keep being unable to find the opportunity to break through!"
Speaking of this, Huyan Yong also had a dispirited look.
This threshold from the Spirit Condensation Realm to the Crystal Formation Realm was not so easy to break through. Many Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were unable to cross this threshold in their entire lives.
Huyan Yong's talent was not bad; he was a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist who condensed four spirit liquid drops. But to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm, it was simply an impossible matter without ten plus, twenty years of accumulation!
"Like that huh. I wonder how many percent confidence Teacher Huyan has in breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm right now?" Ye Yuan asked.
Huyan Yong was even more surprised. But he still answered. "Are you joking, Ye Yuan? I haven't even reached half-step Crystal Formation Realm right now. To breakthrough to Crystal Formation Realm, I don't even have 10% confidence!"
Ye Yuan smiled and took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring for Huyan Yong, saying, "Teacher Huyan, this is the Crystal Formation Pill I refined. It can raise the chances of forming crystal by 60%. I wonder if Teacher Huyan has the confidence to break through to Crystal Formation Realm?"
"What? 60%?! You . . . Are you joking?" Huyan Yong nearly jumped up.
Chapter 183. Even If I'm the One Who Killed, so What? |
A 60% chance to break through!
Huyan Yong looked at Ye Yuan as his mind completely blanked out.
Happiness came too suddenly!
Huyan Yong had never doubted whether or not he could break through to the Crystal Formation Realm. But that was something at least twenty years later!
But now, Ye Yuan actually brought him such an enormous surprise. Huyan Yong really did not dare to quite believe it.
Just how heaven-defying was a medicinal pill which could raise the chances of breaking through to Crystal Formation Realm by 60%?!
"Initially, I thought that I would need some time before I can gather these Crystal Formation Pill ingredients. I didn't think that I actually unintentionally acquired the main ingredients needed to refine it during this trip into the Endless Forest, so I just went ahead and refined it. Teacher Huyan is my savior. How could I dare to joke to Teacher Huyan like this?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
"But . . . this medicinal pill is a Tier 2 medicinal pill; even high-rank Alchemy Masters can't refine it so easily, right? Could it be that you already have the strength that surpasses high-rank Alchemy Master?" Huyan Yong suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.
This was actually Huyan Yong overthinking it. It was essentially something impossible for high-rank Alchemy Masters to want to refine the Crystal Formation Pill!
Forget about high-rank Alchemy Masters, it would be impossible to refine the Crystal Formation Pill even for high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters!
The complexity of the Crystal Formation Pill's refinement was simply beyond the comprehension of the State of Qin's Alchemy Grandmasters. Even if Ye Yuan paired the ingredients for them to refine, they also could not refine it.
"Around there. Tier 2 medicinal pills already pose no difficulty to me," Ye Yuan said. He was not bragging but merely stating a fact.
Ye Yuan's soul strength had already reached the degree of a middle-rank Alchemy Master. Coupled with the level of refining method like the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, refining Tier 2 medicinal pills really was not an issue to him.
Huyan Yong's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This brat is really a wondrous freak!
Just at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and he actually said that Tier 2 medicinal pills had no difficulty. I wonder what the Dean will feel when he hears this.
Huyan Yong gently caressed the medicinal bottle Ye Yuan gave him and fell silent.
But from his lightly trembling body, it could be seen just how agitated he was inside!
Ye Yuan also did not urge him. He just waited for Huyan Yong to calm down quietly. He also knew just how great the impact the Crystal Formation Pill had towards Huyan Yong.
After a long time, Huyan Yong took a deep breath, then gave the medicinal bottle back to Ye Yuan, saying, "Ye Yuan, you'd better take this medicinal pill back!"
Ye Yuan was slightly stupefied and was somewhat confused. "Could it be that Teacher Huyan Yong doesn't trust Ye Yuan?"
Huyan Yong shook his hand and said, "How can Teacher not trust you? It's just that this medicinal pill is invaluable. I can't accept it. I think that judging from your improvement speed, breaking through to peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is only a matter of within a year? You'd better save this medicinal pill for your own use! You need it more than me!"
Ye Yuan did not expect Huyan Yong to actually say something like this. He felt deeply touched in his heart.
To the Divine Realm's martial artists, Crystal Formation Realm might not be considered much. But Ye Yuan had stayed in the State of Qin for such a long time. He could fully understand just what the Crystal Formation Realm meant to the Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!
But Huyan Yong was actually willing to give up the chance to become a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist for him!
Just how much resolution was needed to be able to shake off the temptation of advancing to Crystal Formation Realm?!
Ye Yuan pushed the bottle to Huyan Yong again, saying with a smile, "Teacher Huyan is worrying too much. This Crystal Formation Pill isn't as precious as you imagine. I have as many as I want."
"Have as many as you want? Ye Yuan, you aren't deliberately saying it just to make me accept this medicinal pill, right?" Huyan Yong said disbelievingly.
Ye Yuan was helpless and took out another two medicinal bottles. The medicinal pills inside the bottles were shockingly all Crystal Formation Pills, stunning Huyan Yong until he was left with his mouth agape again.
Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill could be mass produced?
This brat's methods was truly inconceivable!
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll accept it. However, this Crystal Formation Pill is overly monstrous. You have to secure this secret well and take care not to let others know!"
Huyan Yong was not a pretentious person. Ye Yuan already said it till this way, he naturally would not refuse it anymore. Instead, he gave a reminder to Ye Yuan.
"Of course."
Huyan Yong kept away the Crystal Formation Pill gingerly before saying to Ye Yuan, "Since you've already returned, then Su Yishan?"
"Dead," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Huyan Yong was not too surprised. But he could guess that Ye Yuan's trip to the Endless Forest was not that peaceful.
"As long as you're fine, don't mind anything else. Lord Dean already came back. You follow me to meet him. He regards you very highly," Huyan Yong said.
"En, I should."
Ye Yuan did not refuse. After all, Huyan Yong protecting him was still the command issued by the Dean. It was proper and reasonable that he should pay a visit.
The two had just stepped out when they saw Su Yubai coming towards them with a tumultuous aura.
"Ye Yuan! What did you do to Yishan?! I'm warning you. If anything happens to Yishan, you and the Ye Family will join him!" Su Yubai bellowed angrily.
Ye Yuan looked at Su Yubai like staring at an idiot, saying coolly, "I say, First Elder Su, is there something wrong with your brain? You lost your nephew, but you don't go to the Endless Forest to look for him. What did you come running to me to make a fuss about?"
Su Yubai pointed at Ye Yuan's nose and roared in anger, "Ye Yuan! Don't fake an innocent face for this old man! The Endless Trials this time, you, Feng Zhirou, and Yishan took so long to return. You dare say that Yishan's disappearance had nothing to do with you?!"
Ye Yuan shot a glance at Huyan Yong and asked with a bewildered face, "Did Elder Su suffer some sort of stimulus recently? Why does it look like your brain isn't working too well?"
"His brain had never been working very well." Huyan Yong supplemented another knife quite irresponsibly, singing in chorus with Ye Yuan.
"In that case, can't blame him. Elder Su, do you have a misunderstanding? It seems like there isn't only the three of us who delayed our return in the Endless Trials, right? According to what I know, there's twenty over students who didn't come back this Endless Trials, yet, you just had to group the three of us together. How sinister! I know that Elder Su does not have a good impression of me, but you can't fabricate a charge against me like this!" Ye Yuan said innocently.
Seeing Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong chiming together, Su Yubai was even more infuriated!
Although Su Yishan was Su Yulin's son, he was raised up all alone by Su Yubai.
Not father and son, but as dear as father and son!
Otherwise, he would not have immediately came forward right after hearing that Ye Yuan came back.
But now, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both returned, and yet, Su Yishan still did not come back. Most likely, he was a goner!
After all, Su Yishan went to kill Ye Yuan. Su Yishan did not believe that they did not meet in the Endless Forest!
"Stop pretending to be innocent! In this batch of students, only you have a grudge with Yishan! If any accident befalls Yishan, you can't escape responsibilities!"
"Oh? Is that so? The Endless Forest is riddled with danger, so why can't Su Yishan have been killed by demonic beasts? Elder Su, this hole in your brain is really quite wide! But then again, even if I'm the one who killed, so what? Elder Su has no proof. You wouldn't just determine my crime with nothing but words, right? Uh . . . I almost forget. I'm the Tranquil Cloud Sect's Core Disciple now, so Elder Su can't convict me!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Chapter 184. Envoy |
"Hahaha, you finally admitted it! Ye Yuan, you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" Su Yubai was so infuriated that he laughed.
"Heh heh, you also can't run if you kill me, yeah? When the Tranquil Cloud Sect finds you, it isn't something to joke about. Why don't you reconsider?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
"Blame? You're overthinking it! Go to hell!"
Su Yubai was still talking when he suddenly exploded, thrusting a palm at Ye Yuan!
Heaven Flipping Palm!
The same move had a world of difference between Su Yishan and Su Yubai who executed it!
But this palm struck thin air.
Su Yubai only felt his vision blur, and nine Ye Yuans actually appeared at the same time! And he could not even distinguish which one was Ye Yuan's true body!
Following that, Su Yubai just passed through a phantom just like this. When he turned back, Ye Yuan remained standing where he was as if he never moved.
Su Yubai and Huyan Yong's face revealed astonishment at the same time. Since when had Ye Yuan learned such a powerful but peculiar movement technique?
Huyan Yong did not think that Su Yubai would really dare to make a move in the academy. In a moment of carelessness, it was already too late to defend.
But he could not have imagined that Ye Yuan could actually avoid Su Yubai's attack so easily!
"You actually broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!" Su Yubai said with disbelief.
It had not even been a month since Ye Yuan stepped into the Endless Forest, and he actually directly broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
This speed . . .
"Haha, thanks to Elder Su's blessings, I broke through by a fluke."
Su Yubai's face darkened. This Ye Yuan's mouth really needed a beating! Whose blessing was not good that he had to have Su Yubai's blessings?
Wasn't this sickening people?
"Oh yeah. Does Elder Su still remember what I said before? I wasn't joking with you! Perhaps, I don't need a year!" Ye Yuan said while smiling.
Su Yubai's face changed when he heard that. With Ye Yuan's advancement speed, perhaps he really did not need a year!
Although that sentence from Ye Yuan made him into a joke in the Dan Wu Academy for a time, he had never taken it seriously.
But now, he suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan really did not seem to be kidding. He truly had this capability!
"Humph! Then you also have to survive a year first! Ye Hang's about to collapse right now. Do you feel you still have the chance?" Su Yubai said with a cold sneer.
"Is that so? I feel that Elder Su had better flaunt about it in front of me after my father falls from power. Otherwise, you will have your face smacked by me again. Although your face has already been smacked rotten by me, I don't mind hitting it again to tear it down some more," Ye Yuan said calmly.
"You!" Su Yubai nearly choked to death.
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Su Yubai. He turned around and left with Huyan Yong. Watching Ye Yuan's back view, Su Yubai's eyes were about to spit fire.
But Ye Yuan had already grown to such an extent, and he even had a Huyan Yong by his side. He simply could not make Ye Yuan stay!
Even though the Su Family was very strong, it was not strong to such an extent that they could cover the skies with one hand in the Dan Wu Academy.
