Unrivaled Medicine God, page 94
Ye Yuan saying these words were truly enormous sarcasm.
Except, he also could not figure out why the Illuminating Fire would suddenly lose control.
Ye Yuan clearly did not do anything at all!
Not just him who did not understand, Yao Qian by the side also did not understand. But the gaze he gave when looking at Ye Yuan became somewhat different.
Yang Hao wanted to use the Illuminating Fire to burn Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan had the Tier 4 essence fire, Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, inside his body. When the Illuminating Fire approached Ye Yuan, it instinctively sensed extreme danger. How could it possibly burn Ye Yuan?
Humans were unable to feel such a level of coercion from ranks, but the flame itself was very sensitive.
"Humph! Your turn! I want to see just what kind of tricks can you play!" Yang Hao said in a deep voice.
"Haha, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is already very amazing. What sort of tricks can I even play? I'll just copy it blindly," Ye Yuan said smilingly.
In the while that Yang Hao was stunned, Ye Yuan already reached out to beckon in thin air. The Illuminating Fire flew into Ye Yuan's hand obediently.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the other four people in the house constricted.
Just based on this move, Ye Yuan was way too brilliant compared to Yang Hao!
Previously, Yang Hao walked under the lantern to execute the fire controlling seals before calling out the Illuminating Fire. But Ye Yuan was still several dozen meters away from the lantern, only to see that he casually called with one hand and the Illuminating Fire flew over itself.
The level was clear at a glance!
Without any gaudy fire controlling seals, Ye Yuan just supported with his palm and the Illuminating Fire automatically transformed into a fire dragon, circling around Ye Yuan.
The appearance was exactly the same as Yang Hao just now!
Yang Hao was so enraged that he ground his teeth in rage. This was simply a provocation!
Ye Yuan looked at Yang Hao and suddenly gave a peculiar smile. He lifted his hand and pointed a finger at Yang Hao.
Yang Hao jumped in fright when he saw the situation and hurried formed seals to deal with it.
After forming finish the seals, he discovered that he was tricked by Ye Yuan again. That fire dragon was still circling leisurely around Ye Yuan!
"Hur hur, don't be so nervous, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. Just playing a prank," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Yang Hao's face no longer had that initial haughtiness and calmness. He could not wait to rush up and give Ye Yuan a bite!
But right then, Ye Yuan spoke again.
"This time, it's for real. Be careful, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang!"
Ye Yuan pointed again. But . . . still just a finger!
Yang Hao smiled coldly and said, "Repeating old tricks don't have much of a meaning, right?"
"Dumbass! Quickly look behind you!" Yao Qian who had been mum all along finally made a sound.
Yang Hao was dazed. Turning around to look, he saw that his buttocks caught fire and a burned smell spread out.
Yang Hao jumped in fright and hurriedly formed seals to extinguish the flames on his butt. However, his attire was already burned through by the Illuminating Fire as two lumps of white flesh were revealed.
Swooshing bum down to the ground, Yang Hao's face was red to the tips of his ears.
"Hur hur, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is really mindful of your face but disregarded your buttocks. Why are you so careless? If some senior apprentice sisters saw it when you head out, I'm afraid that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang's name will probably spread back to the sect very soon, right?" Ye Yuan chortled as he said.
Huyan Yong was originally someone who was serious in speech and manner, but even he could not hold back his laughter right now.
"Don't be smug, Ye Yuan! Let's compete again if you have the capabilities!" Yang Hao's face was red and his ears scarlet. He was clearly hopping mad from embarrassment.
"Sigh, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang can't take a loss! What are we competing on this time? Competing in Martial Path? You, an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, competing with me, a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Even if you win, it will also be the big bullying the small if it spreads out, right?" Ye Yuan pretended to sigh emotionally.
"Enough! A loss means a loss! Do you feel that this isn't disgracing enough? Quickly go and change your clothes!" Yao Qian's face fell as he said to Yang Hao in mild irritation.
Being bellowed at by Yao Qian, Yang Hao was just like a defeated rooster and went to a quiet spot to change his clothing.
After Yang Hao left, Yao Qian looked at Ye Yuan with narrowed eyes and said, "Truly heroes come from youngsters! To think that such a talented figure actually appeared in my Tranquil Cloud Sect's outer sect!"
Chapter 187. Barely Passable |
Yao Qian was currently very amazed in his heart, because even he also did not see clearly just how Ye Yuan got the Illuminating Fire behind Yang Hao imperceptibly just now!
This monstrosity of Ye Yuan far exceeded his imagination!
It looked like this title of 'number one in a millennium' was not without reason.
A 15-year-old Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This sort of cultivation speed was also not slow even when placed in the sect. Even more terrifying was that this Ye Yuan's alchemy skills should be very strong.
To obtain such accomplishments in the martial path and alchemy path at the same time, but only 15 years of age, his future accomplishments were limitless!
Except, this Ye Yuan offended the Su Family. This time, he would likely be wiped out by the Su Family.
It was somewhat of a pity.
"Lord Yao Qian flatters me. What number one in a millennium, Ye Yuan is not worthy. But compared to some mediocre talents, I'm still that little bit stronger," Ye Yuan said indifferently.
This old fellow clearly did not have any good intentions as well. Ye Yuan obviously did not need to be courteous.
"What a sharp tongue. But young people should learn how to restrain themselves a little. Otherwise, you will suffer."
"If other people respect me a foot, I will return them 10 feet. If other people reach out for a yard after taking an inch, I'll leave no room to advance! This is my life principle!"
"Haha, oh Yunhe. This little baby is really quite interesting." Yao Qian ignored Ye Yuan and turned to say to Jiang Yunhe.
Jiang Yunhe felt quite awkward and chuckled drily, saying, "Ye Yuan's personality is like this. Don't lower yourself to his level, Lord Yao Qian."
"Why would I bother arguing with a little child?" Yao Qian said coolly.
Right then, a voice came from outside the door. "Lord Dean, Long Tang requests for an audience."
"Come on in," Jiang Yunhe instructed.
Long Tang's arrival also eased up some of the awkwardness. But when he saw Ye Yuan, his eyes instantly turned sharp.
This Ye Yuan actually broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm already!
Initially, he thought that having broken through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he finally shook off Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan did not break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, then his arranged battle with Ye Yuan had no meaning.
Who would have thought that Ye Yuan's improvement speed was not the slightest bit slower than him!
Long Tang could consecutively breakthrough within a month was first, because of his accumulation, and secondly, because he reaped no little benefit on the Nine Heavens Road. Thirdly, it was because of the Essence Spirit Pill.
He only dared to consecutively breakthrough two realms in a short period of time because he combined so many elements.
But Ye Yuan went for a trip to the Endless Forest and was already Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm when he came back. This improvement speed was too terrifying!
One had to know that before Ye Yuan left for the Endless Forest, he had just broken through to Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago!
Ye Yuan also looked towards him at this time. The pair smiled when their eyes met, but did not say anything.
Jiang Yunhe gave an introduction. Yao Qian only opened his mouth to talk after Long Tang finished paying his respects.
"I'm here this time under the sect's command to come to the outer sect to fetch you two into the sect. The two of you passed through the Nine Heavens Road, so you naturally possess the identity of the sect's core disciple. But before entering, the two of you still need to understand the rules of our Tranquil Cloud Sect. After entering the sect, you must obey the rules stringently. Otherwise, bear the consequences!"
As he spoke, Yao Qian casually struck out two steaks of white light. Two jade slips landed separately in Ye Yuan and Long Tang's hands.
Ye Yuan submerged a wisp of divine sense into the jade slip to read the contents.
After reading the contents, Ye Yuan was also sighing incessantly. From the rules, one could see that the rivalry within the sect was way crueler than in the Dan Wu Academy.
That was a genuine survival of the fittest!
Within the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they were separated into Elite Disciples, Core Disciples, and Outer-sect Disciples.
The normal advancement channel was that the top students in the outer sects barely had the qualifications to become an outer-sect disciple after passing the Heaven Rank Advancement Test!
And there are three routes to become a core disciple. The first route was advancing from outer-sect disciple. The second way was passing the Nine Heavens Road. Other than these, it would be disciples specially approved by the sect's upper echelons.
Elite disciples had some similarities to the Martial Roll set up in the Dan Wu Academy. Only those disciples who were extremely strong in the alchemy path or martial path can qualify!
Moreover, elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples were not unchanging. They would undergo ranking every two months. Those ranked near the back would be eliminated from entering the next level, while disciples who had outstanding performance but a lower rank will advance up a level.
Hence, the number of elite disciples and core disciples were basically fixed!
And outer-sect disciples who failed the assessment would end up doing miscellaneous affairs!
Miscellaneous affairs did not have the slightest status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Every day, they had to do large numbers of miscellaneous stuff. There was simply not much time to cultivate.
Amid the elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples, the treatment they enjoy also had an extremely huge difference!
In the Dan Wu Academy, many of them were members of aristocrat families. To them, the use of academy resources made no difference.
Wealth allowed willfulness!
But that would not do in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
The Tranquil Cloud Sect carried out a points system. To obtain corresponding cultivation resources in the academy, one had to use points to exchange.
Without points, it was difficult to take a single step in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Points could not be bought with money. Only by making a certain level of contribution for the sect can one obtain the corresponding points.
It could be seen from this system that trying to smoke your way through life in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was absolutely impractical! Only by constantly cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating, could one plant their footing firmly in the sect!
The sect did not raise a single trash!
Yao Qian glimpse at the two of them indifferently and said, "Both finished reading the sect's rules? I can tell you two that with your current strength, you're actually only capable of ranking in at roughly the middle of the outer-sect disciples. There's still some distance away from core disciple. Especially Ye Yuan. You're only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. You're probably at the bottom even among the outer-sect disciples. Hence, you two had better grasp your time tightly to cultivate more if you want to get the appropriate resources. Or else, you will be eliminated in the first sect competition. That would also leave Yunhe without any face, right?"
Hearing Yao Qian say so, Long Tang looked at Ye Yuan rather odd expression.
Ye Yuan's strength could only be at the bottom of the barrel among the outer-sect disciples? This Yao Qian definitely did not know the fearful aspect of Ye Yuan!
Even though he himself broke through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, he also did not dare say that he can certainly win Ye Yuan! Even if he only had the strength of the middle reaches of the outer-sect disciples, Ye Yuan was definitely roughly the same as him.
Being at the bottom was impossible!
Additionally, with Ye Yuan's improvement speed, he would most likely steady his footing very soon among the core disciples after entering the sect, right?
Yao Qian saw Long Tang's expression and said carelessly, "You guys still don't have too clear an understanding about the might of the sect disciples. I just wish to tell you, don't be naïve enough to think that you can leap ranks to battle. You two will only realize just how small and weak you are after entering the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"
Long Tang's heart jolted when he heard that, but Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Lord Yao Qian really likes to worry. If you have much spare time, why not educate that incompetent disciple of yours. I think that with his standards, we're still barely passable to make it as core disciples after going to the sect."
Chapter 188. Leave It to Me! |
Yao Qian's eyes revealed a trace of cold light.
Evidently, he was truly infuriated by Ye Yuan repeatedly making light of him.
Yao Qian's status in the sect was not low. Disciples would be most respectful when they saw him. Since when did anyone dare to rebuke him so?
Ye Yuan hadn't even entered the sect yet currently. If he were to enter, what would happen?
Of course, he definitely would not reflect on himself. It was him who provoked Ye Yuan in the first place.
"Haha, good! Very good! Ye Yuan, with your current realm, you only have the right to be at the bottom when you enter the Martial Hall. But your Alchemy Path talent is not bad. If you enter the Pill Hall, perhaps you can retain the opportunity to be a core disciple. However, I'm afraid that I have not told you this yet. My identity in the sect is . . . a Pill Hall Elder!"
Yao Qian's words were a blatant threat.
The meaning of his words was crystal clear. After you enter the sect, make sure you don't fall into my hands!
Naturally, with Ye Yuan's Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, he could only be sent to become an outer-sect disciple if he entered the Martial Hall. At that time, would it not be a matter of a word from Yao Qian to knead him however he wished?
Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "Oh yeah? Looks like to avoid Elder Yao, I can only enter the Martial Hall. Uh, that's also pretty good. With your standard of teaching disciples, wouldn't I be delayed to death if I enter the Pill Hall?"
"Alright, Ye Yuan, say a few sentences less! Elder Yao Qian, Ye Yuan, he . . ."
Jiang Yunhe saw Ye Yuan rebuking Yao Qian again and could not resist reprimanding him.
Except, at this time, Yao Qian suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, "Dean Jiang, you really taught a fine student! I think that with your merits, you can forget about getting the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation in this lifetime! Humph!"
Finishing, Yao Qian ignored Jiang Yunhe's persuasion to stay and directly left.
Jiang Yunhe glared fiercely at Ye Yuan, but finally said powerlessly, "You this punk, why are you so adept at causing trouble?! Ignoring that you turned the whole academy upside down, you haven't even entered the sect, and you already offended a sect elder! Wait until you enter the sect and you'll get it! In this place, there's at least your father's backing. But after entering the sect, you'll find no kin to turn to. At that time, who can protect you?"
Huyan Yong also furrowed his brows and said, "That's right, Ye Yuan. A man knows when to yield and when not to. After your power becomes great and you advance to elite disciple, you wouldn't need to see Yao Qian's mood anymore. Why offend him now?"
"Haha, that Yao Qian and Yang Hao were obviously targeting me. Even if I make concessions for the general interest, will they let me off? Not necessary, right? This kind of people, if they are offended, then let them be offended. No big deal. Rather, Lord Dean, what the meaning of the Purple Center Soul Incantation Yao Qian spoke of just now? Listening to its name, it should be a soul cultivation method, right?" Ye Yuan said without a care.
Jiang Yunhe let out a sigh and knew deep down that what Ye Yuan said was reasonable.
He was much clearer on Yao Qian's past history than Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong. In reality, he was still holding onto the mentality of hoping that there was a chance both parties would be amicable.
Who knew that Yao Qian simply did not give him any face, putting Ye Yuan down the moment he arrived.
But the pitiable thing was that the blow did not work. Instead, it broke his teeth.
"What you said is right. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is a soul cultivation method, and it is also the strongest soul cultivation incantation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Those elders in the Pill Hall basically all train in this soul incantation. I'm the same. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is split into two parts. The first half can allow alchemists to train to the Alchemy Grandmaster realm, while the second half can train to the Alchemy Sovereign! But the sad thing is that ever since Patriarch Ouyang Tuotian, the Tranquil Cloud Sect never had anyone who could cultivate to the Alchemy Sovereign realm."
Jiang Yunhe's eyes were full of regrets. He clearly revered Ouyang Tuotian very much.
Consolidating the words Yao Qian left behind before he left, Ye Yuan immediately understood in his heart. "Lord Dean came to the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy to hold a post for earning points to exchange for the lower half of this Purple Center Soul Incantation?"
Jiang Yunhe nodded bitterly and said, "That's right. I was born in the Pill Hall. Before coming to the State of Qin, I was a deacon in the Pill Hall. The point requirement for the Purple Center Soul Incantation is too much. With my status and identity in the sect, it was simply impossible to earn so many points. Hence, I planned for this outside job. Initially, I thought that I could raise a few talents for the sect. But who would have thought that after coming to the State of Qin for so many years, the Dan Wu Academy had never improved. In these few years, only Mo Yuntian, this one genius appeared. But this time, you and Long Tang appeared at once. Two geniuses who crossed the Nine Heavens Road. I was elated in my heart. But I didn't think that this was the outcome . . ."
