Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  High sect! High sect again!

  Using high sect to suppress me right?

  Su Yubai despondently discovered that he really could not do anything about it.

  Since Ye Yuan dared to openly take this sword out, it showed that there was definitely no issues with its origins.

  Although Ye Yuan said nothing, he already indicated the source of this sword, Nine Heavens Road!

  Came from the Nine Heavens Road? Then this would be easy!

  "Since this sword came from the Nine Heavens Road, how can you keep it for yourself? The Nine Heavens Road belongs to the Nine Heavens Road. Since you acquired the spirit artifact on the Nine Heavens Road, you should pass it to the academy to deal with it!"

  Ye Yuan chuckled. "Pass to the academy to deal with it? It's pass to Elder Su to handle, right? Just be candid about wanting the spirit artifact. What's with so many detours?"

  Su Yubai's Face Thickness Divine Art had clearly been cultivated to an extremely high realm. He did not show any embarrassment after having his thoughts exposed by Ye Yuan.

  "This elder is devoted to public interests. Don't try to slander me! After your spirit artifact is passed to the academy, how to deal with it would naturally be up to the dean and the Elders Council to decide. This spirit artifact originally came from the academy, how can you keep it all to yourself?"

  Su Yubai said it with a strong sense of righteousness. Except, who knew how many people actually would fall for that.

  "Elder Su's public spirit is truly touching. But . . . according to what I know, the Nine Heavens Road doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the academy? Even if I have to hand it up, it will also be passed to the sect. What has it got to do with you?!" Ye Yuan did not hold back his words at all.

  "You! Courting death!" Su Yubai was so angered by Ye Yuan that his seven souls were about to leave his body, and he looked as if he was about to make a move.

  Ye Yuan jumped up instead, and yelled out, "Ahh! Elder Su wants to kill people! Everyone, be a witness for me!"

  Su Yubai's raging fire was instantly extinguished by Ye Yuan's shout.

  Ye Yuan's current status was exceptional. If he were to really kill Ye Yuan in public, his elder position could be considered to have come to an end.

  The charge of killing a high sect's core disciple was not something he could shoulder.

  He stopped Su Yishan naturally because of this reason as well. He did not think that a few sentences in, he was already swept in by Ye Yuan.

  Su Yubai suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was like a hedgehog, leaving him nowhere to bite.

  So aggrieving!

  "Such utter nonsense! When did I want to kill people?" Su Yubai snorted icily.

  "Do you dare to say that you didn't have killing intent just now?" Ye Yuan made no concessions at all.

  ". . . . . ."

  Su Yubai had no words to say to that. He switched topic once again. "Forget about that first. I heard that you want to bring away this female student for a private interrogation. Do you know that you are setting up a clandestine tribunal?"

  "Clandestine tribunal? Then let me ask you, what's the charge for offending a core disciple? You, Elder Su, can say that my status is not yet authentic, but Liu Ruoshui doesn't have that qualification, right?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.

  "This . . . Offending a core disciple, severe cases can be the death penalty. But according to what I know, she doesn't seem to have offended you?" Su Yubai said.

  "How do you know that she did not offend and that it wasn't sophistry?" Ye Yuan retorted.

  "Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng were already killed by you. This matter has no other witnesses. You aren't going to rely just on your guesswork to sentence her crime, right?" Su Yubai smiled coldly.

  "I said just now, I have my ways of making her talk. If she didn't take part in this matter, then the grudges between us will be wiped off the slate! If she feels dissatisfied, I can even apologize to her publicly!"

  "What a joke! What method do you have to make her talk? Don't tell me you want to beat a confession out of her?"

  Ye Yuan said casually, "I'm afraid that Elder Su has done quite a bit of those sort of things, right? However . . . I'm not as ruthless as Elder Su, so I'm unable to do those sort of malicious things."

  Su Yubai's wrath had just subsided when it was evoked by Ye Yuan again.

  This punk was really someone that exasperated people to death without paying for it.

  Forcefully suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yubai said in a low voice, "Who in the Dan Wu Academy doesn't know that this elder enforces the law impartially? Right now, we're talking about you. Why did you come onto me?"

  "Like that huh? Fine then. I know that Elder Su is ignorant and ill-informed. I wonder if you have ever heard of a type of medicinal pill called the Truth Pill? En . . . Looking at your appearance, you must be unaware. Let me explain it for Elder Su. A Truth Pill is a Tier 2 medicinal pill. If Liu Ruoshui eats it, she will answer anything I ask. At that time, the truth will naturally be revealed."

  Ye Yuan explained about the Truth Pill, and also made a quip at Su Yubai . . .

  Chapter 115. Refining a Truth Pill |

  "Utter nonsense! This elder has lived to this old age, and I have never heard of such a medicinal pill!"

  Although Su Yubai did not specialize in Alchemy Dao, the Su Family still managed a medicinal herbs business. He was absolutely not a stranger to medicinal pills.

  Since he said he had never heard of it, then even if another Alchemy Dao elder came over, they probably never heard of it as well.

  Except that these words were equivalent to stealthily acknowledging that he was ignorant . . .

  "I already said that Elder Su is ignorant and ill-informed, so how could you have heard of it before? But it doesn't matter whether you heard of it before or not. What you hear may be false, but what you see is true. After I refine a few of them out, then wouldn't Elder Su know if it's real or fake after sampling it personally? At that time, I guarantee that which concubine Elder Su spent the previous night with will be grilled out," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  Ye Yuan's words prompted roars with laughter from everyone. The laughter only ceased after Su Yubai shot a menacing glance.

  Ye Yuan had extremely extensive research in Alchemy Dao. He dabbled in all sorts of areas.

  On the other hand, most of the pill formulas in the State of Qin were targeted for the Martial Dao. Either to help martial artists increase their strength, or to help martial artists recover essence energy, so on and so forth.

  This sort of obscure medicinal pill like the Truth Pill would naturally not be recorded.

  The highest level martial artists in the State of Qin did not surpass the Crystal Formation Realm, and their age did not get past 300 years old. Even if one was an Alchemy Grandmaster, how much leisure time would they have to research this sort of obscure medicinal pill?

  But, like Ye Yuan said, differentiating whether the medicinal pill was real or fake was very simple. Just find someone to test it out.

  The medicinal effects could not be faked. With so many people watching, faking it would be exposed straightaway. Unless the person trying out the medicine was arranged by Ye Yuan.

  Su Yubai naturally would not commit such a low-level blunder.

  "Humph! Flippant child! I want to see just how you clean up the mess later!" Su Yubai snorted coldly.

  Just like that, Ye Yuan and Su Yubai determined Liu Ruoshui's fate.

  When Liu Ruoshui heard Su Yubai's words, she ran hastily to Su Yishan's side and pulled on his arm, begging for his help. "Senior Apprentice Brother Su, I . . . I don't want to . . ."

  Su Yishan pulled his arm back, and Liu Ruoshui staggered, collapsing onto the ground.

  Su Yishan was still enraged after being humiliated by Ye Yuan and felt that this woman was a troublemaker. Why would he pity her?

  "Do you feel that it's still up to you at this juncture?" Su Yishan said coldly.

&n
bsp; . . . . . .

  In Feng Ruoqing's pill refinement room, Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing swapped roles. Feng Ruoqing did the series of preparation work for Ye Yuan's pill refinement.

  "Sigh, I say, can't you just rest for a while? You just came back from the Nine Heavens Road, yet you caused another big upheaval in the entire academy," Feng Ruoqing grumbled as she did her job.

  Ye Yuan was seriously too proficient at causing disturbances. Even since his abrupt rise, it seemed like the academy had never had a break.

  "Heh. Not that I'm unwilling to stop, it's just that there's always some people who keep finding trouble. Lu-er is my kin. If I can't take revenge for her after being hurt to such an extent, how can I be fit to be her young master? Also, how can I face her after she wakes up in a few days? If they want to touch me, then just come at me openly. Even if I'm beaten till I'm crippled, I also won't harbor such a grudge. But if they touch my family and friends . . . absolutely not!"

  She did not know why, but after hearing Ye Yuan's words, Feng Ruoqing's heart involuntarily quaked, and she blurted out, "If I suffered like Lu-er, would you be like this too?"

  "Of course! Aren't we good friends?" Ye Yuan said without thinking.

  Blissfulness instantly seeped into her heart, making Feng Ruoqing feel a never before experience, a sense of satisfaction.

  "But . . . I'm afraid I don't have that opportunity, right? You're a proud daughter of heaven, the youngest high-rank Alchemy Master in the Dan Wu Academy. Who would dare to bully you!" Ye Yuan added.

  Feng Ruoqing smiled sweetly and said, "That might not be the case. Who knows there might really come a day where I, this proud daughter of heaven, would require your protection."

  "Haha, I'm afraid that it's the honor of every male in the Dan Wu Academy to be able to protect Teacher Feng, right?" Ye Yuan chuckled.

  Feng Ruoqing blushed lightly and diverted the topic. "Oh, right, is there really such a medicinal pill called the Truth Pill? It's also imparted to you by your Master?"

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The Truth Pill actually isn't some profound medicinal pill. It's a type of medicinal pill which is applied to the divine soul, making the martial artist's divine soul give up resistance. Since there's a medicinal pill which strengthens soul strength like the Soul Nourishing Pill, there's naturally the Truth Pill."

  Feng Ruoqing came to a realization. "So that's how it is! Looks like my horizons are still too shallow. It turns out that if we think about the problem from another perspective, there's actually such an effect!"

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This can't be rushed. Master's realm is remarkably high. How can I compare to his horizons? Such a simple logic, if I had to come up with a way, I might not be able to conceive it in my entire life. Even when his cultivation was at our current realm, he might not even have understood this logic."

  Only then did Feng Ruoqing feel at ease. "You are right. Cultivation realm determines one's horizons. Looks like my road is still long. The preparation work is done. Start the furnace and refine the pill."

  Ye Yuan nodded and started refining the Truth Pill.

  Compared to during the Alchemist Test, no matter whether it was essence energy or soul strength, Ye Yuan was way stronger. It would naturally not be as strenuous for the current Ye Yuan to refine low-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.

  . . . . . .

  After two hours, Ye Yuan appeared in front of Su Yubai once more, holding a bottle of freshly made Truth Pills.

  "This is the Truth Pill. Does Elder Su wish to personally try it out?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  "Snort! The person testing the medicine is already arranged. I'll watch just how you clean up the scene later!"

  While Ye Yuan was refining, Su Yubai already inquired from several Alchemy Dao experts. None of them had heard of Truth Pill.

  Even if Ye Yuan was a low-rank Alchemy Master, could he be stronger than the seniors in the academy?

  Hence, Su Yubai had long determined that Ye Yuan was misleading others through trickery. All so that Liu Ruoshui would obediently submit.

  Su Yubai was an old veteran. How could he fall for this sort of trick?

  At this time, there were even more spectators. Apart from the students, many instructors also arrived at the scene. Even those from the Elders Council had assembled, including the two deputy deans.

  "Ye Yuan, this dean has already researched the alchemy path for two hundred years, and I've never heard of something called Truth Pill. Do you really have confidence?"

  Hu Changsheng was an Alchemy Grandmaster. He had the greatest right to speak here. Even he had not heard of Truth Pill. This made many people have doubts about Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan did not sense any malice from Hu Changsheng, but instead, there was a faint concern. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dean Hu. If this medicinal pill has a problem, I will offer my head to Elder Su. I can see that he has been interested in this youngster's head for quite some time already."

  This punk must surely be throwing mist in our eyes! I mustn't fall for it! Su Yubai kept repeatedly warned himself in his heart.

  Furthermore, even if Ye Yuan dared to offer his head, Su Yubai also did not dare to accept it! Ye Yuan already had the status of the high sect's core disciple now. If he were to die mysteriously, Su Yubai would not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

  Hu Changsheng's face changed when he heard that, and said solemnly, "What rubbish are you talking about? If there's really a problem, then a punishment is a must. How can you talk so lightly about life and death?"

  It sounded like reprimanding, but everyone could hear the intent to protect Ye Yuan within those words.

  Chapter 116. Testing Medicine |

  "Heh, no use talking so much. Just try, and you will know."

  Ye Yuan's confident manner made Su Yubai feel uncertain.

  But when he thought of how even Hu Changsheng did not recognize this type of medicinal pill, then this pill was most likely fabricated by Ye Yuan.

  Still stubbornly hanging on at this time. I'll watch just how you die later!

  Su Yubai was already planning how to punish Ye Yuan. The death penalty was definitely a no go. But a flogging punishment could be considered.

  Everything was in place. A flustered looking Liu Ruoshui was brought in front of everyone.

  Su Yubai shot an icy glance at Liu Ruoshui and said, "Don't be afraid, Liu Ruoshui. Even Dean Hu had never seen such a medicinal pill before. Do you think it can be real? As long as you can prove that this medicinal pill has no effect, not only will this elder proclaim your innocence, I'll even punish Ye Yuan severely. Understood?"

  Currently, Liu Ruoshui was completely flustered. But after hearing Su Yubai said this, it really added quite a bit of confidence.

  Yeah. Dean Hu was an Alchemy Grandmaster. A medicinal pill that even he had not heard of was surely fabricated by Ye Yuan!

  It was a pity that Liu Ruoshui did not attend the alchemist test together with Ye Yuan. Otherwise, she would not have such confidence.

  If Wan Yuan were here, he would definitely rather die than eat the medicinal pill.

  You got to kidding. To be able to train that fiendishly difficult Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique to the legendary stage, it would not be unusual to refine any medicinal pill!

  Liu Ruoshui sucked in a deep breath, shot Ye Yuan a vicious look and said, "I understand! Ye Yuan, since you frame me so unjustly, this isn't over! I will just try your so-called Truth Pill and see whether it's real or fake!"

  Ye Yuan did not mind Liu Ruoshui's venomous stare at all. He just smiled faintly and said, "This isn't over? I'm afraid you don't have the chance."

  Finishing, he turned to Su Yubai again and said, "Let's say the nasty stuff first, Elder Su. If I deceived everyone, I am willing to accept any punishment. But if my medicinal pill is effective and I extracted the truth? Then what?"

  Su Yubai replied without hesitation, "If Liu Ruoshui
truly colluded with Lin Tiancheng to set up fellow disciples, she will naturally be dealt with according to the academy's rules. Her cultivation will be crippled, and she will be expelled from the academy."

  Ye Yuan nodded after hearing this. "I believe Elder Su should not go back on your words in front of so many people. Begin then!"

  "Hold on!" Su Yubai halted.

  "What? Does Elder Su still have issues?"

  "This medicinal pill is refined by you, who knows what the hell are you playing at? During the process of testing the medicine, you have to stand back, Ye Yuan!"

  Su Yubai was clearly still a little concerned. What if this medicinal pill was fake, but Ye Yuan had methods to display some means to compel Liu Ruoshui to tell lies? That was also a possibility.

  Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that and quickly understood. He had a teasing smile on his face as he said, "Elder Su is really cautious. Fine. Since Elder Su is uneasy about me, just ask personally. I'll go and take a walk."

  Ye Yuan then threw the bottle towards Su Yubai and really left without looking back.

  Su Yubai instinctively caught the bottle and could not help being speechless. He did not think that Ye Yuan was so dauntless, to leave just like that. However, he was still apprehensive, so he shot Su Yishan a look to make him follow Ye Yuan out, and keep an eye on him.

  "Alright Elder Su, Ye Yuan already left. Can we begin?" Hu Changsheng said somewhat impatiently.

  Su Yubai's yardstick of a despicable man had made Hu Changsheng not having any good feelings toward him at all. A dignified Disciplinary Hall Elder without any imperturbability at all and was so guarded against a junior.

  Being urged by Hu Changsheng, Su Yubai also felt that he was a little too cautious.

  Ye Yuan might be cunning, but he clearly could not pull any underhanded tricks in front of him.

  However, caution was the parent of safety. Su Yubai did not wish to let go of any trace of opportunity to strike Ye Yuan down.

  He was doing this in order to punish Ye Yuan, to make him enter the Endless Forest with injuries.
