Unrivaled Medicine God, page 997
As Ye Yuan said, the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods immediately deduced rapidly in their heads.
These were all major powers, whether or not the spirit medicines Ye Yuan said were somewhat interesting, they would be able to tell very soon.
But Zheng Qiyuan gave a cold snort and said, “Utter nonsense! Deersoul Youngheart Fruit is a wood-attribute spirit medicine, Fire Luan Grass is a fire-attribute spirit medicine, and the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit is a thunder-attribute spirit medicine. But you’re using them to be core ingredients. It’s simply matching a donkey’s head to a horse’s mouth.”
Empyrean Purplewing snorted coldly and said, “How can this kind of pairing possibly refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill? Kid, could it be that you were showing off to us earlier?”
The other Empyreans also revealed doubtful looks. Clearly, they were very much in agreement with Zheng Qiyuan’s way of saying things.
The favorable impression that was just established toward Ye Yuan immediately evaporated into thin air.
These three kinds of situations that Ye Yuan talked about could not possibly refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill at all.
Even Empyrean Lumen also had tightly locked brows, clearly very perplexed.
At this time, Ye Yuan also felt a fire rose in his heart.
Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. This Zheng Qiyuan targeted him time and again; did he really take Ye Yuan to be a soft persimmon?
It was only to see him look at Zheng Qiyuan with a smile that was not a smile, opening his mouth and saying, “If the medicinal pill is refined using these three proposals, what will you do?”
Zheng Qiyuan’s expression turned stiff and he said, “That’s impossible!”
Ye Yuan sneered and said, “Is that so? Shut your mouth up for me if you don’t have the guts. Nobody will take you to be a mute!”
How could Zheng Qiyuan endure such provocation? He said in a cold voice, “If it can’t be refined, what will you do?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “If it can’t be refined, I’ll immediately hand over the grandmaster token, pack up my things and leave, never to refine a pill again in this lifetime! Don’t say that this Ye is bullying you. If you lose, your Zheng Family will withdraw from the Cloudpill Summit henceforth. Do you dare to bet or not?”
Zheng Qiyuan’s face changed, clearly being frightened by Ye Yuan’s wager.
The Zheng Family withdrawing from the Cloudpill Summit was equivalent to being isolated by the entire Southern Border alchemy world.
This would be a tremendous blow to the Zheng Family.
The others all looked at Zheng Qiyuan in great shock and discovered that he was squeezed until his complexion was livid.
When Empyrean Lumen saw the situation, he hurriedly stepped forward to be a mediator, saying, “Huhu, everyone is a man of the same occupation. Why is there a need to make this wager and hurt feelings?”
Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, “Ever since this Ye came here, he, Zheng Qiyuan, has provoked me time and again. Really take this Ye to be easy to bully? Heh, really think that this Ye is young and ignorant? Those little bastards of your Zheng Family are unconvinced and went in front of you to lodge a complaint, saying that I’m not worthy of this position of grandmaster, saying that this Ye challenging you is conceited and arrogant. Therefore, that’s why you made things difficult in all respects. Isn’t that so?”
Zheng Qiyuan’s complexion was incomparably ugly, full of embarrassment after being exposed.
The other Empyreans were also very surprised, not expecting that there were actually still so many twists and turns in-between.
No wonder Zheng Qiyuan was put off by Ye Yuan. It turned out that he felt that Ye Yuan swept away the Zheng Family’s face.
Empyrean Purplewing’s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold smile, “Brother Zheng, messing around for half a day, you were using this Empyrean as an excuse huh!”
Ever since taking part in this exchange meet, Zheng Qiyuan would always incite by the side, saying that Ye Yuan snatched away his position of grandmaster and so forth.
Messing around for a long time, he was finding ground for himself and deliberately making things difficult for Ye Yuan!
Zheng Qiyuan’s face changed slightly and he hurriedly explained: “That … That was merely children quarreling. I genuinely feel wronged for Brother Purplewing!”
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, “Whether it’s sincere or a pretense, it’s also fine. This pill formula can naturally explain everything. I just ask you, dare to bet or not?”
One sentence forced Zheng Qiyuan to the corners of the wall.
Zheng Qiyuan did not expect that a little brat was actually so astute, directly putting him on the opposite of all the Empyreans.
At this time, he had no choice but to agree to it.
Zheng Qiyuan gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, “Bet away! Will this Empyrean be scared of you? This Empyrean doesn’t believe that with a different attribute you can still refine a wind-attribute medicinal pill!”
Ye Yuan turned to Empyrean Lumen and said coolly, “Brother Lumen, I’ll have to trouble you for this pill testing.”
Previously, Ye Yuan did not bother with Zheng Qiyuan the entire time. Empyrean Lumen even thought that Ye Yuan did not want to offend Zheng Qiyuan. Who knew that he did a full display of his abilities and keen edge the moment he made his move.
Ye Yuan was using his alchemy profession to wager with the Zheng Family!
Did this kid really have so much confidence?
Was he arrogant at heart and haughty in manner? Or did he really have a well-thought-out plan?
As for to what extent Ye Yuan’s Alchemy Dao attainments were, everyone did not doubt it anymore.
That bout of discussion previously was absolutely not what a layman could say.
Just based on those, Ye Yuan had the qualifications to sit and debate Dao with them.
But just as Zheng Qiyuan said, Ye Yuan’s chances of winning were very low.
They were all alchemy big shots. They naturally understood the characteristics of spirit medicines. What Zheng Qiyuan said was not wrong.
“Sigh, really going to cause a scene to this extent? Forget it, forget it. Since that’s the case, let’s test the pill formulas then,” Empyrean Lumen said helplessly.
At this time, the two people were diametrically opposed and it was clearly unable to be resolved anymore. Urging anymore was also useless.
This place was also a large-scale refining room.
As for these rank seven spirit medicines that were normally hard to lay eyes on, they could naturally be gathered in the Cloudpill Summit.
Before long, three sets of spirit medicines were placed in front of everyone,
The first one gathered Xun Foliage, Deersoul Youngheart Fruit, and Thousand Maple Vine. after Empyrean Lumen prepared for a while, he started refining the pill.
Ye Yuan’s mind was very focused, fully on Empyrean Lumen’s pill refinement, as if the wager did not have the slightest thing to do with him.
Empyrean Lumen was indeed worthy of being a grandmaster of his generation. His alchemy strength astounded all around. Even Ye Yuan also had a rare feeling of admiration.
Only this realm of powerhouse had the qualifications to debate on Dao with him!
But, after four hours, a puff suddenly came from inside the medicinal cauldron.
Failed!
Chapter 2029. As You Wish! |
“Hahaha! I said it, right? This kind of combination, it’s totally impossible to refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill!”
Seeing Empyrean Lumen failed, Zheng Qiyuan immediately had an ecstatic look.
It was just that there was no one who concurred with him at all.
The laughter gradually stopped, Zheng Qiyuan had an embarrassed look and could only laugh dryly twice and brush it off.
Except, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became even more baleful.
If not for this brat, he also would not be isolated by everyone.
Empyrean Lumen looked toward Ye Yuan and said, “Grandmaster Ye, when this Empyrean was refining just now, there was always a wood-attribute energy messing things up inside. The medicinal pill wasn’t able to condense at all. This method … doesn’t work!”
The others all looked at Ye Yuan, revealing worried looks.
Once he failed, Ye Yuan would not be able to refine pills anymore in this life.
To an alchemist, this was simply worse than even killing him.
Especially that Ye Yuan’s attainments in alchemy were even so high.
However, Ye Yuan seemed to be completely fine. He just said coolly, “Since it doesn’t work, change to the second kind then.”
Empyrean Lumen nodded his head and started refining the pill according to the second proposal.
Ye Yuan watched with a calm expression, but his views on Empyrean Lumen gradually changed.
Looks like he misunderstood him.
Empyrean Lumen was clearly different from the rest. Calling him over was not in order to embarrass him, but purely wanting to see his strength.
About this point, Ye Yuan could see from his attitude in refining pills.
With Ye Yuan’s eyesight, even if Empyrean Lumen did any cheating actions, how could it escape his eyes?
However, the first proposal’s failure was clearly a problem of the spirit medicines’ combination and not Empyrean Lumen’s lack of effort.
Time slowly trickled by, fine beads of sweat also seeped out on Empyrean Lumen’s forehead.
His control of the medicinal cauldron fell shorter and shorter of his wishes.
Finally, there was another puff. It failed again!
All of the Empyreans’ faces changed slightly. This was the second failure. It also represented that Ye Yuan did not have a way out anymore.
“Heh, Brother Lumen, this time, it should be the fire-attribute power causing trouble, right? Next, it should be the thunder-attribute’s turn! This kind of low-level mistake, any alchemist wouldn’t make it. He actually pledged in all solemnity, saying that it will definitely succeed. Truly ignorant! In my view, he’s completely clueless about alchemy and is simply a pretty vase! That speech previously was likely taught to him by Brother Flutterfeather.”
Two failures made Zheng Qiyuan’s confidence soar. He was more and more certain that his thinking was correct.
As it should be, pure wind-attribute spirit medicines mixing in other attributes, how to integrate?
Empyrean Purplewing’s brows furrowed slightly and he said, “Grandmaster Ye, why not … forget about it? As long as you open your mouth, this Empyrean and Brother Flutterfeather will speak up to bail you out. Absolutely no one will dare to do anything to you!”
Hearing this, Zheng Qiyuan’s face could not help changing.
“Brother Purplewing, are you oppressing people by force?” Zheng Qiyuan said in a solemn voice.
Empyrean Purplewing said coolly, “So what if yes?”
“You!” Zheng Qiyuan could not help choking.
In this land of Southern Border, Empyrean Purplewing was still alright, but Empyrean Flutterfeather’s status was too revered.
His Zheng Family was at the very most a third-rate holy land, being far worse than even Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.
Now, seeing as Ye Yuan was about to lose, Empyrean Purplewing actually took Ye Yuan’s side. Could it be that he did not mind Ye Yuan snatching his grandmaster token?
Right at this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, “Brother Purplewing’s good intentions, this Ye appreciates it. However, this Ye am a man of my word and naturally won’t renege. Isn’t there still another formula? The victor hasn’t been decided!”
Hearing this, the group of Empyreans could not help secretly shaking their heads.
Still young in the end!
Ruining his brilliant future to show off momentary bravery, was there a need?
Moreover, there was still Empyrean Flutterfeather and Empyrean Purplewing, this level of big shots vouching for him.
But Zheng Qiyuan was overjoyed in his heart. But he had a sneer on his face as he said, “Brat, stop saying it with such dignified airs. Aren’t you relying on the fact that you have Brother Flutterfeather backing you up? So you’re emboldened by support?”
Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, “Don’t you just want to goad me into swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath? As you wish!”
Done talking, Ye Yuan swore a Heavenly Dao Oath in front of everybody.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly with agape mouths!
This … This little fellow was also too capricious, right?
At this point, Ye Yuan’s chance of winning was already extremely small, he actually swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.
With this, even if Empyrean Flutterfeather’s means were immensely formidable, there was also no way out.
“Now, it’s your turn,” Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Qiyuan and said coolly.
Zheng Qiyuan chuckled and said, “This wager, you will lose for sure. So what if this Empyrean swears a Heavenly Dao Oath?”
Finished talking, Zheng Qiyuan also swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.
Empyrean Purplewing shook his head with a pitying look.
This Ye Yuan was a member of the Myriad Treasure Tower no matter what, but being rendered unable to refine pills because of this kind of dispute caused by personal feelings, it was too regrettable.
“Brother Lumen, begin then!” Zheng Qiyuan had a smile all over his face as he looked at Empyrean Lumen and said.
Empyrean Lumen sighed slightly and started the third refinement.
Time slowly trickled by, it was very calm the whole time inside the medicinal cauldron, currently advancing according to routine.
After more than two hours, the medicinal cauldron suddenly started vibrating. The moment Zheng Qiyuan saw this, the excitement on his face could not be concealed anymore, saying with pleasant surprise, “Hahaha! Indeed it couldn’t hold out anymore! Like I said, how can thunder-attribute possibly integrate into a wind-attribute medicinal pill?”
The faces of the group of Empyrean changed, revealing looks of pity.
This time, Ye Yuan really suffered a crushing defeat!
Empyrean Purplewing let out a sigh, his gaze looking over toward Ye Yuan. But he discovered that Ye Yuan had a calm expression, and was actually not worried at all.
Could it be that this kid was really a layman, so he did not care that he could not refine pills?
But that shouldn’t be so!
In a blink, a hundred breaths passed, the medicinal cauldron was still quaking.
Another 15 minutes passed, the medicinal cauldron was still vibrating.
Two hours passed, the medicinal cauldron was still shaking.
But the medicinal pill still did not become a failed product!
Zheng Qiyuan was long already incomparably anxious. He was shouting madly in his heart, hoping that the medicinal pill would become invalid.
But, the pill refinement was still progressing systematically.
Suddenly, the medicinal cauldron shook. Zheng Qiyuan did not have time to rejoice yet when the vibration completely subsided.
Zheng Qiyuan’s face immediately fell.
“This … How is this possible? It’s actually not a failure!”
“Could it be that this third proposal can really succeed?”
“Too magical! Currently this sort of situation, it looks like the thunder-attribute has already completely calmed down and should be integrated into the medicinal pill!”
…
A series of exclamations came from all around.
This situation was what all of them did not anticipate from start to end.
Thunder-attribute was the most violent and also the hardest to fuse. Who knew that after the medicinal cauldron vibrated for more than two hours, it actually fused successfully!
Right at this time, Empyrean Lumen’s face revealed a hint of excitement as he cried out, “Condense!”
The light faded away, everything returned to tranquility.
Everyone knew that the pill formed!
“This … How is this possible? How … How did he do it? How can thunder-attribute possibly be integrated into a wind-attribute medicinal pill?”
Zheng Qiyuan’s legs swayed. He actually could not quite stand firm.
Everything that happened before his eyes, he found it hard to believe.
Victory was clearly within grasp, but in the end, it was an overwhelming defeat!
Chapter 2030. The Truth Is More Terrifying Than the Rumors |
Everyone’s astonishment was not only expressed in words but also on their face!
Compared to wood-attribute and fire-attribute, thunder-attribute was more explosive and restless. But why did it fuse successfully in the end?
This was Zheng Qiyuan’s doubt and also the question in everyone’s hearts.
The group of Empyreans all used shocked and questioning gazes to look toward Ye Yuan.
“Grandmaster Ye, it really succeeded! It actually really succeeded! This Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill, this Empyrean has researched for several hundred years but had no gains. You actually completed the pill formula within a short two days! Truly god-like!”
Empyrean Lumen looked at Ye Yuan with an agitated face, full of disbelief.
Before this, he was the same as the others, also doubting whether or not Ye Yuan had the qualifications to sit here and debate on Dao with them.
It was just that he understood Empyrean Flutterfeather very well and felt that Empyrean Flutterfeather should not mess around like this.
Therefore, he chose to believe.
But he did not expect that this mere Six-star Alchemy God was actually so monstrous, to actually complete the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill’s pill formula in such a short time.
Just based on this, Ye Yuan’s understanding of alchemy already surpassed all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods present!
