Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  He originally came here today wanting to show off. Who would have thought that all the limelight would be snatched away by Ye Yuan alone!

  Wan Yuan did not expect that not only did Ye Yuan knew alchemy, but he was also even monstrous to such a degree!

  After watching the might of Cheng Hua's fist, he made the decision that he would definitely spread what happened today after he left. He believed that there would be many forces interested in Ye Yuan.

  But now, this plan fell through. Wang Jinfu actually forced everyone to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!

  "Zhu Qiang, Cheng Hua, the two of you lead everyone in swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath!" Wang Jinfu commanded.

  "Yes!"

  These two people belonged to the Alchemist Association from the start, so they obviously had to listen to Wang Jinfu's orders.

  "M-master, do I have to swear too? I-I won't spread it!" Gritting his teeth, Wan Yuan opened his mouth to ask.

  Wang Jinfu had long forgotten about this convenient disciple and did not expect him to jump out by himself now, so he said coldly, "Even Feng-er and Keyun have to swear. Are you more special than them? Mmm?"

  Wang Jinfu was a genuine Spirit Condensation Realm expert. Under his powerful pressure, Wan Yuan felt that his consciousness was about to collapse.

  "I-I swear!"

  Ye Yuan's words made Wang Jinfu come to realize the truth. He was already thoroughly disgusted with Wan Yuan. If not for Wang Donghai's face, he would definitely teach Wan Yuan a lesson.

  Just like that, under Wang Jinfu's coercion, everyone swore a Heavenly Dao Oath. Except himself, Sun Jianming, Feng Ruoqing, and Feng Zhirou.

  Even though everyone was furious about this arrangement, nobody dared to come forward.

  This was a world where the strong reigned supreme, and the Alchemist Association was too strong!

  Chapter 69. Visiting Together! |

  Early morning, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion started their business as usual. Except, it remained deserted like before.

  Feng San sat on a wooden armchair and held a book as he leisurely read.

  He was bored out of his mind these past few days. He worked in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion for so many years, and it was always so busy that it made him dizzy. He constantly wanted to find time to relax.

  Now that he actually had free time, Feng San felt completely uncomfortable.

  His eyes were on the book, but his heart was not.

  What made Feng San curious was about Young Master Ye Yuan. Yesterday after he came back from the alchemist test, he was utterly exhausted. What medicinal pill did he refine to be so drained?

  What made him even more curious was that half-way through the night, Ye Yuan came out full of vigor. He even recovered most of his essence energy.

  Afterward, Young Master brought Lu-er back to the Dan Wu Academy that very night . . .

  Did Young Master get into trouble again, and returned to the academy to avoid a disaster?

  But Young Master went to the Alchemist Association yesterday. He could not have turned the Alchemist Association upside down, right?

  The more Feng San thought about it, the more he felt it was so. With Young Master's former personality, he could seriously do something like that.

  Did Young Master 'get well' for a few days, and went back to his old habits again?

  Just as Feng San's imagination was running wild, several old men entered the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.

  Even though the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's business had become slow, there were still some people coming and going. After all, they conducted business fairly.

  Feng San did not pay any heed to the few people who came in and continued staring blankly at the book in his hands. There were naturally attendants to take care of these small matters.

  "Are you the shopkeeper? The three of us wish to request an interview with Mister Ye Hang about something. Please pass the word," one of the old men said.

  Only then did Feng San gave him a glance lazily. But this glance made him jump in shock because the three stars on these three old men's chests were too blinding!

  Two of the old men had red color badges on their chest, while the three-star badge of the old man in the center was actually golden!

  Three Alchemy Grandmasters came here together!

  The Alchemist Association would distinguish alchemists of the same star by using color. Blue as low-rank, red as middle-rank, and golden as high-rank!

  In the entire State of Qin, only one person possessed a golden badge. That person was the Alchemist Association's Lord Chairman, Wu Daofeng!

  The identities of the other two people were almost certainly Deputy Chairman Wang Jinfu and Deputy Chairman Sun Jianming!

  The three major heads with the greatest weight in the entire State of Qin's alchemy world came forth together. What major event happened?!

  Feng San hastily got up, went in front of the three to give a deep bow, and he asked respectfully, "This lowly one welcomes the three Lords! May I ask why the three Lords are looking for the owner?"

  "Oh? You know who we are?" Wang Jinfu felt very pleased with Feng San's attitude.

  Feng San hurriedly said, "You must be joking, my Lord. Even though this lowly one has never seen the three Lords, I still have some knowledge. Who could don those badges other than the three Lords?"

  "Haha. This Shopkeeper is indeed very considerate. No wonder Mister Ye Hang placed you in an important position. The three of us came here for Ye Yuan, and we wish to meet with your boss. Could you pass the message?"

  Wang Jinfu was very courteous with his words, but Feng San's mind was blown!

  Recalling Ye Yuan's unusual action yesterday night, he immediately felt a chill down his spine.

  That rascal really acted up again!

  This time around, even Lord Wu Daofeng personally came to call him to account. Ye Yuan was poking a hole in the sky!

  Wu Daofeng had always been living a secluded life. Just how much trouble did that punk, Ye Yuan, cause to alarm this major figure!

  The Drunken Star Manor's issue already left them bruised and battered. Now, there was the Alchemist Association. Did the heavens really want the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to perish?

  Wu Daofeng kept quiet all this time. But seeing Feng San space out, he could not help asking, "Shopkeeper, is there any difficulty?"

  Feng San recovered from his stupor, and then he pulled a long face and said, "My apologies, three Lords. Our owner entered a death-seclusion a few days ago. I'm afraid . . . he won't be coming out soon."

  After saying that, Feng San's heart palpitated and could not resist sneaking a peek at Wu Daofeng. He discovered that the three of them exchanged glances, which revealed a deep disappointment.

  Feng San was a little curious. Looking at the three of them, it did not look like they were here to confront?

  But if they did not come to confront about something, then why did the three of them come together?

  Feng San was utterly baffled.

  "Then . . . is your Young Master, Ye Yuan, around? We can also look for him!" Right then, Wang Jinfu opened his mouth.

  Feng San felt a little guilty as he gave in. "Three lords, Young Master returned to the academy yesterday night."

  The three people exchanged looks again. Wang Jinfu shook his head and sighed. "Looks like that punk is intentionally hiding from us! How can that fellow, Jiang Yunhe, let Ye Yuan go after he returns to the academy?"

  Wu Daofeng seemed to be pondering, but no one knew what he was thinking about either. After some time, he said, "Shopkeeper, don't let your imagination run wild. We actually came here today to deliver Ye Yuan's badge. He passed the Alchemist Association's test yesterday. Since he's not around, then we will pass the badge to you. I have to trouble shopkeeper to personally go down and deliver this to Ye Yuan's hands."

  When Feng San heard deliver badge, he immediately relaxed. So Young Master really became promising, to have passed the Alchemy Apprentice test. At least the
owner had a successor now.

  However, he quickly grew suspicious again. It was just a badge. Why would it trouble the three major heads of the association to personally deliver it?

  Was delivering the badge a pretense and finding the owner to discuss a major matter was the actual intent instead?

  Thinking about it, there was only this possibility. After all, Ye Yuan was a junior. There was no way the three major heads would be dispatched.

  Although Ye Hang was not qualified yet, because of the Drunken Star Manor's Essence Gathering Pill, the entire situation in the capital had become abnormal. It was also understandable for these three major figures to come and find Ye Hang.

  After all, Ye Hang was also an Alchemy Grandmaster, an important figure in the capital.

  Connecting the dots, Feng San felt like he finally understood the other party's purpose of visit. He quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble at all! To be of service for the three Lords is this lowly one's honor. I will go to the Dan Wu Academy right away and personally hand this badge over to Young Master."

  "Jinfu, give the badge to the shopkeeper," Wu Daofeng said calmly.

  "This . . . Why don't we go down personally? In case . . ." Wang Jinfu did not take out the badge right away and was somewhat hesitant.

  "No need. The association has never interfered with local affairs. We can't break this rule. With our status, it's not appropriate for us to appear at the Dan Wu Academy. Don't worry. In terms of alchemy, who can compare to the Alchemist Association?" Wu Daofeng said.

  Wang Jinfu's eyes lit up. "Lord Chairman is still more foresighted. This old one understands."

  Finishing his words, Wang Jinfu retrieved the badge, and then he handed it over to Feng San. He said, "We have to trouble you, Shopkeeper. However, please don't reveal this matter of you delivering the badge. Although this matter can't be hidden for long, every moment counts."

  Feng San was confused. It was just an Alchemy Apprentice badge. Why were these lords taking it so seriously? Was this not blowing things out of proportion?

  However, when his two eyes landed on the badge in Wang Jinfu's hands, they became wide circles as his eyes were involuntarily glued to the badge.

  Only to see that two stars were sewn on that blue color badge!

  I-isn't this an Alchemy Master's badge?

  Was there a mistake?!

  Chapter 70. Denied Entrance |

  "What?! You're saying that Ye Yuan passed the Alchemy Master test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm strength?"

  Jiang Yunhe had not lost his composure like this for a long time. But the news brought by Feng Ruoqing overwhelmed him.

  "Yes. Not only did he pass the low-rank Alchemy Master test, he even refined a transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill during the test. Upon testing, a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm after consuming the pill would possess the strength to threaten a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm." Feng Ruoqing seemed like she would not give up until she shocked people to death with her words.

  "Transcendent-grade . . . Tier 2 . . . medicinal pill? F-First Level Spirit Condensation Realm threatening a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?"

  Jiang Yunhe's brain short-circuited. What Feng Ruoqing said had completely surpassed his understanding.

  Feng Ruoqing wanted to laugh watching Jiang Yunhe lose composure in such a manner. She had been here at the Dan Wu Academy for several years but had never seen Jiang Yunhe in this state.

  "Could it be that Ye Yuan was born with a powerful soul strength that already reached the Alchemy Master realm?" after some time, Jiang Yunhe finally asked.

  But Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "That's not it. His soul strength isn't that strong. It's only slightly stronger than the average person. He could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill because he used the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique."

  "Sssss! Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique . . . Even if it's the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, isn't this a little too exaggerated?"

  "Mmm. Truth be told, Ye Yuan's Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique has already reached the legendary stage!"

  Even now when Feng Ruoqing said this, she felt that it was inconceivable.

  Legendary stage, that by itself was a legend.

  It was virtually impossible to reach that stage.

  Even those old people who lost all their teeth in the Alchemist Association did not manage to train any alchemy technique to the legendary stage, let alone the even more challenging Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.

  Jiang Yunhe who was already shocked until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was shocked once more.

  He stared at Feng Ruoqing for some time before confirming that she did not lie. "Just what lucky encounter did this Ye Yuan had? Isn't this too unbelievable?"

  Feng Ruoqing seemed to be well-prepared. "He obviously won't reveal this sort of thing. But my guess is there should be an extremely powerful alchemist behind Ye Yuan! And it's impossible for that person to be his father. The way I see it, this alchemist is definitely not limited to the Alchemy King realm!"

  Jiang Yunhe paced about to digest the news that Feng Ruoqing brought back.

  It seemed that Feng Ruoqing's guess should be the closest to the truth. Otherwise, it could not explain how Ye Yuan possessed such monstrous alchemic talent at such a young age.

  After a long time, Jiang Yunhe said, "Such a figure is too terrifying. It's best to not provoke. It's just that I don't understand. Since Ye Yuan has such an incredible master, why would he come to the Dan Wu Academy?"

  Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "I also thought about this question. Most likely, it's to train his disciple?"

  "Mmm. There is this possibility! Damn, you said Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming, those two geezers, also knows about this. They definitely won't let Ye Yuan go! Come, let's quickly find Ye Yuan!"

  As he was saying this, Jiang Yunhe wanted to rush out.

  Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, "Relax, Dean. After returning to the academy, I'd already visited the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Ye Yuan has already returned to the academy during the night. Lord Chairman Wu Daofeng brought the two deputy chairmen in vain. Grandmaster Ye Hang is also coincidentally in a closed-door seclusion, so the three of them returned empty-handed. Finally, they could only request the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper, Feng San, to deliver the badge to the academy."

  Jiang Yunhe let out a huge sigh of relief. Laughing out loud, he then said, "Haha. To think Old Man Wu would actually be denied entrance. I think his face back then would have been very interesting. Ye Yuan must have definitely predicted this situation, that's why he rushed back through the night. It looks like his feelings for the academy is very deep! Since Ye Yuan's back at the academy, quickly bring him to see me. No, I'll personally go visit him!"

  Jiang Yunhe brought Feng Ruoqing to Ye Yuan's residence and did not alarm other people.

  Personally visiting a student with his status would definitely cause a huge uproar in the academy.

  Except, Jiang Yunhe did not manage to meet with Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan entered the training room after returning to the academy.

  But Jiang Yunhe saw Lu-er and Feng San at Ye Yuan's residence. However, they did not recognize Jiang Yunhe. Lu-er was very familiar with Feng Ruoqing though.

  "Teacher Feng is here to look for Young Master?"

  "Yeah. Didn't he come back yesterday night? Where is he?"

  "Young Master said that he felt he was going to break through, so he entered a closed-door seclusion right away after returning. Shopkeeper Feng San didn't get to see him either."

  Jiang Yunhe was stunned. What breakthrough? This rascal was clearly hiding from everyone!

  It had only been a few days since he broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, how could it be possible for another breakthrough so soon?

  Even though Ye Yuan's breakthroughs previously were indeed fast, but for every increment in cultivation realm in the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty wo
uld also become greater.

  How could it be so easy to break through from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?

  Furthermore, even if he broke through, his cultivation realm rose too quickly would inevitably affect future cultivation growth. This way of doing things was just not worth it.

  There was such a powerful teacher behind Ye Yuan, how could he possibly make such a low-level mistake?

  Hence, Ye Yuan must definitely be hiding from everyone!

  This brat caused such a huge upheaval, yet he hid himself and avoided meeting anyone. How irresponsible!

  Jiang Yunhe felt very depressed. He came to visit a junior with his status and was actually denied entrance!

  Just now, he was still laughing at Wu Daofeng. He did not think that karma would strike instantly, and it was his turn so soon.

  But one had to acknowledge that a closed-door seclusion was an excellent excuse.

  When martial artists were cultivating, it was taboo for them to be interrupted during closed-seclusion.

  Even if Jiang Yunhe was the dean, he also could not casually interrupt Ye Yuan's closed-door seclusion.

  Feng Ruoqing did not expect this result either and so she said helplessly, "Then . . . forgive our disturbance, Miss Lu-er. If Ye Yuan exits seclusion, could Miss Lu-er please tell him to look for the Lord Dean at the back of the mountain, Cloud Wave Court?"

  Lu-er blinked her eyes and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Teacher Feng. Lu-er will remember."

  Lu-er was naïve and did not understand Feng Ruoqing's meaning. However, Feng San was proficient in the ways of the world. His entire body quivered when he heard this, and his eyes sneaked a peek at Jiang Yunhe.

  Initially, he only faintly felt how powerful this person was, but at this moment, he was able to guess Jiang Yunhe's identity!

  Feng San did not expect the dignified Dan Wu Academy's dean would come to look for Ye Yuan personally!

  Recalling this morning where Lord Wu Daofeng also visited personally to deliver the badge, Feng San was incomparably shocked.
