Unrivaled Medicine God

  "Do you know where you were wrong?"

  "I should not have get involved with that crazy woman!"

  Speaking of Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan also gnashed his teeth in hatred. That woman was a troublemaker, drawing major problems for him.

  "You're wrong! It's just a woman. With your identity and status, what kind of woman can't you have? You were wrong not because of provoking that woman, but for provoking Ye Yuan! You clearly knew that this woman came to find you to avoid Ye Yuan and you actually dared to shelter her! If it was just sheltering her, then forget it. But you became enemies with Ye Yuan for her beauty!" Su Yubai's words shot out extremely fast.

  Su Yishan gritted his teeth and said, "Merely a Ye Yuan, who would have thought that he could actually make Wu Luochen work for him? Otherwise . . ."

  "Otherwise what? Kill him? If I didn't make it on time, even if you killed Ye Yuan, you also can't escape death yourself! Even though the high sect hasn't come over to name Ye Yuan, his status as a core disciple can no longer be changed. Did you consider the consequences of killing a high sect's core disciple? You're the next patriarch of the Su Family. How could you do things without thinking it through?" Su Yubai reproved him.

  Su Yishan shuddered. Back then, he was in the heat of the moment. How would he have considered so much?

  Now that he thought about it, he was genuinely fearful.

  Seeing Su Yishan's appearance, Su Yubai grunted coldly. "Do you understand now?"

  Su Yishan sucked in deeply and nodded, saying, "Many thanks for Second Uncle's teachings. This child understood."

  "Understood what?"

  "Killing Ye Yuan must be a one blow certain kill! Otherwise, hitting the snake and not killing it will result in injuries! Since we're in the academy and I have no way of killing him, I shouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke him. The result was getting skunk juice all over me! Second Uncle, this child still underestimated Ye Yuan. The speed of his growth . . . is too quick!" Although he did not wish to admit it, Su Yishan already acknowledged Ye Yuan's power.

  The anger on Su Yubai's face finally subsided and what replaced it was a satisfied look.

  "That's right! You're the young patriarch of the Su Family. How you want to play with women is not an issue. But there's one thing. Never, ever, hold up important things because of women. Why did I want to publicly kill Ye Yuan? That's because I saw his future threat! Although I didn't succeed, that was just an accident. Since the matter cannot be done, then we will temporarily put it aside. Why shouldn't we make good use of such a fine opportunity like the Endless Trials when it's placed right there. The Endless Trials is our best chance, and also our last chance! Hence, Ye Yuan must die inside the Endless Forest!"

  Chapter 119. Preparing for the Trials |

  "If it was before Ye Yuan tackled the Nine Heavens Road, I had full confidence in killing him. But I don't have that much confidence in killing the current Ye Yuan even though he can't defeat me," Su Yishan said with knitted brows.

  Su Yishan had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan. He estimated that his strength was roughly around rank 50 or so on the Martial Roll.

  He naturally would not take to heart this level of strength. But if Ye Yuan was bent on running, he really had no certainty of holding Ye Yuan.

  After all, Ye Yuan would not stand there and wait stupidly for his Heaven Flipping Palm.

  Su Yubai retrieved a pill bottle and passed it to Su Yishan. "This bottle contains Spirit Essence Pills. After you consume then, take these two days to breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. After you reach the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing him shouldn't be difficult, right?"

  Su Yishan's eyes shone, and he quickly received the medicinal pills.

  To the top ten geniuses on the Martial Roll, the allure of the Spirit Essence Pill was enormous. This could be seen from Su Yubai and Long Tang's wager.

  After reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm, the difficulty of breaking through realms would increase tremendously. With Spirit Essence Pills, it would be equivalent to saving a great deal of time for cultivation.

  Some people when they get stuck in the minor realm, it would be half a year gone. At that time, it would not be so easy if they wanted to catch up to others.

  It had already been a while since Long Tang got the Spirit Essence Pill, but he did not use it this whole time. One could see that he viewed the Spirit Essence Pill equally importantly.

  Su Yishan said confidently, "Not difficult. Of course not difficult at all! As long as I breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing Ye Yuan will be a simple matter!"

  Su Yubai nodded his head. Clearly, he felt that this speech was not exaggerated.

  Su Yishan was the best seedling in the Su Family. Otherwise, he would not be so heavily nurtured. After breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan's combat prowess would surely advance into the top five!

  Among the top five students on the Martial Roll, only Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. The rest were all at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

  Su Yishan enjoyed resources far beyond other people. If he could not even get into the top five, then he could forget about his position as the young patriarch.

  Taking care of Ye Yuan was naturally easy for the top five on the Martial Roll.

  "I've already asked your father to send out the Chang brothers to cooperate with you to eliminate Ye Yuan! They are currently already concealed inside the Endless Forest. Once the Endless Trials begins, they would target Ye Yuan. At that time, make contact with them, and come up with a foolproof plan. You must kill Ye Yuan! Remember, if you don't move, then stay low. Once you move, you must kill! You absolutely mustn't give Ye Yuan any breathing space! Understand?" Su Yubai said in a low voice.

  This was not a discussion anymore, but an order.

  He knew that Su Yishan more or less had a young master's attitude and might feel it was beneath him to cooperate with those retainers.

  But no matter what, achieving the goal of killing Ye Yuan was the most critical objective among priorities. The others were of no significance, including Su Yishan's pride.

  . . . . . .

  Long Tang charged out of the sea of fire looking rather ragged.

  However, looking at his eyes right now, it was filled with indescribable luster.

  "So, this is the Nine Heavens Road! Although it's exceedingly treacherous, it's also a limitless treasure trove!" Long Tang gasped in admiration.

  Long Tang could not compare to Ye Yuan. The first stage's concepts to Ye Yuan was simply unqualified to make the cut.

  But to Long Tang, these concept checkpoints were remarkably perilous. But after the dangers, Long Tang managed to grasp some things, letting him reap many benefits.

  Long Tang did not continue rushing. He meditated on the spot to comprehend his harvests just now.

  Long Tang's strength lied in his perception. Otherwise, what right did he have to seat at the first place of the Martial Roll when he was only at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm?

  In the top five, only Long Tang alone was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. His combat prowess was evident.

  One had to know that there was a minor stage gap between the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Hence, he could also comprehend some things which others were unable to on the Nine Heavens Road. It was just that this way, his clearing speed became exceptionally slow, showing a sharp contrast from Ye Yuan clearing the checkpoints.

  After two days had passed, Long Tang merely made it past the first stage.

  "No way. Isn't Senior Apprentice Brother Long going to have his face slapped until it swells like a fatty's like this? It's already so hard for him to make it past the first stage. What should he do about the later stages?"

  "Sigh. This also can't be helped. If I were rank one on the Martial Roll with my positi
on being challenged like that by Ye Yuan, I might also come and challenge the Nine Heavens Road too!"

  "Forget it. Looking at Senior Apprentice Brother Long, I reckon that it's going to be very tough to come down from up there. After all, not everybody can create such miracles like Ye Yuan."

  "En, I think so too. Although Senior Apprentice Brother Long is incredible, everyone unanimously agreed that his degree of monstrousness is inferior to Mo Yuntian. If Senior Apprentice Brother Long had confidence in challenging the Nine Heavens Road, he would have come long ago. Why wait until today?"

  "Sigh, forget it. Let's leave. It's going to be the Endless Trials in two days. With Senior Apprentice Brother Long's speed, I reckon that he won't make it in time.

  As the Endless Trials approached, many students dispersed from the Nine Heavens Road. The foot of the Nine Heavens Peak promptly became deserted.

  . . . . . .

  One day later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.

  There was still one day before the Endless Trials began. He needed to prepare some things to bring into the Endless Forest.

  Ye Yuan knew that this trip would definitely be very perilous!

  He already offended Su Yubai and Su Yishan thoroughly. They did not dare to make a move within the academy, so they definitely would not let go of the chance called the Endless Trials.

  But this journey to the Endless Forest was imperative for Ye Yuan. He had no choice but to take this risk for Lu-er!

  The medicinal pill Ye Yuan was planning on refining for Lu-er was called the Essence Yang Pill, a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill in the Divine Realm.

  This pill was extremely difficult to refine, and the herbs required were also exceptionally harsh.

  There were three core ingredients in the Essence Yang Pill. All of them were exceedingly rare herbs. Only this sort of dangerous, yet resource-rich place like the Endless Forest would have it.

  Also, Ye Yuan happened to know the location of one of the core ingredients. This core ingredient was precisely the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python inner core!

  That was also because Ye Yuan took note of it back when treating the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python poison for that brawny man, and asked for the whereabouts of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. But he did not expect that it would really come in handy now!

  One might say it was coincidental, but in reality, it was inevitable.

  Ye Yuan was infatuated with the Alchemy Dao in his past life and would naturally be very interested in rare medicinal herbs. This sort of good habit also carried forth till today.

  The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python possessed a divine beast bloodline. Its inner core's attribute was extreme indomitable yang, perfect for restraining Lu-er's frost poison.

  And the other two core ingredients were similarly extreme yang plants. One was called Crimson Soul Grass, the other was Pine Yang Fruit.

  Although these two items were hard to find, they were not undetectable. Through Huyan Yong, Ye Yuan already roughly knew the possible locations where these two herbs would appear.

  But the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python had incredible might. It was a middle-rank Tier 2 demonic beast; equivalent to a human second stage Spirit Condensation Realm expert. This was also an extremely thorny problem for Ye Yuan.

  However, Ye Yuan still had another objective for going to the Endless Forest, which was to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Chapter 120. Who's Protecting Whom? |

  The Essence Yang Pill was incredibly challenging to refine. Even Ye Hang definitely could not refine it.

  Hence, if he did not break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be entirely useless for Lu-er even if Ye Yuan found these medicinal herbs,

  However, although breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm might be very difficult for other people, it was a simple matter to Ye Yuan this Alchemy Emperor.

  Closed-seclusion for two days, but Ye Yuan's realm was not fully consolidated yet. Otherwise, he could break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm right now.

  His advancement speed from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was too swift!

  Even though comprehending Heart Like Still Water eliminated the hidden dangers brought about by advancing realms too quickly to the extremity, it would affect future cultivation if not properly consolidated.

  Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to be careless about this.

  To talk about the best way to consolidate cultivation realm, it was undoubtedly to experience numerous fights.

  And what the Endless Forest lacked the least was demonic beasts. Ye Yuan could fight and consolidate his cultivation at the same time.

  One of the preparation work Ye Yuan had to do right now was to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill called Spirit Surge Pill.

  This medicinal pill could increase the probability when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. If it was transcendent-grade, and it could increase the probability to 100%!

  Refining the Spirit Surge Pill with Ye Yuan's current strength was a breeze!

  Furthermore, other people required half-step Spirit Condensation Realm as a buffer when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was entirely unnecessary for Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan had the past experience of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. Compressing essence energy to him was an extremely simple matter. Hence, there was completely no need to tread on thin ice like the rest.

  . . . . . .

  After tinkering the whole night in Feng Ruoqing's pill refinement room, Ye Yuan finally settled everything.

  Ye Yuan saw Feng Ruoqing and Feng Zhirou after leaving the pill refinement room, but not Huyan Yong.

  Feng Ruoqing's face had thick worry written all over it, making Ye Yuan very curious.

  "What happened, Teacher Feng?"

  "Huyan Yong has been temporarily transferred out by the academy. He headed for a small city at the borders of the State of Qin to take care of business," Feng Ruoqing said.

  Ye Yuan understood in a flash. He smiled and asked, "Is Teacher Feng being transferred out as well?"

  Feng Ruoqing could not help commending Ye Yuan's nimble mind. She nodded and said, "There's another batch of students going to take part in the alchemist test tomorrow. It's still going to be me leading the group this time. Actually, Teacher Huyan was originally preparing to enter the Endless Forest to protect you."

  "Heh heh. What a move to lure the tiger away from its lair. However, if they want my life, they got to have the capability first!" Not only was Ye Yuan undaunted, but he was also raring to go instead.

  Seeing the situation, Feng Ruoqing could not help being concerned. "Ye Yuan, I know that you are very strong. But your current realm is too low. Why not give up the Endless Trials trip this time around? You passed the Nine Heavens Road. Even if you don't undergo the Endless Trials, they also won't dare do anything to you."

  Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No way. I can afford to delay, but Lu-er's condition can't. Helping her to suppress the frost poison will only last for another month at most. At that time, even if my Master personally came, he would also be unable to save her. Relax. It's just one Su Yishan. I still couldn't care less."

  However, Feng Zhirou had a disdainful look right then. "Looking at your supercilious appearance, you'll suffer a loss sooner or later! Are you still uninformed? Just yesterday, Su Yishan already successfully broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Now, even if I match up with him, I might not gain an advantage over him."

  Ye Yuan had grown accustomed to Feng Ruoqing's speech manner long ago and did not mind her disparaging remarks in the slightest.

  " Oh, Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? Huum, indeed a little troublesome." Ye Yuan stroked his chin as he said with a frown.

  "Humph! Know fear now? I advise that you better stay in the academy obediently. Otherwise, you won't even know how you lose your little life!" Feng Zhirou continued to land blows.

  Ye Yuan stared at Feng Ruoqing and suddenly grinned. "Already cultivating the Water Defying Incantation, eh? Not bad of an improvement. Senior Apprentice Sister Feng is talented as expected! I believe that with Senior Apprentice Sister Feng protecting me, there shouldn't be many issues with this trip, right?"

  Being said like that by Ye Yuan, Feng Zhirou's pretty face blushed lightly and pouted. "Who wants to protect you? You, a big grown man, still need women to protect you? Aren't you ashamed?"

  "Oh please, it's true that I'm a grown man, but I'm also your Junior Apprentice Brother! A senior apprentice sister protecting her junior apprentice brother, isn't that perfectly justified? Furthermore, you're number three on the Martial Roll. If you don't protect me, could it be that I have to protect you?"

  Feng Zhirou wanted to continue arguing but was interrupted by Feng Ruoqing. "Zhirou, during this Endless Trials, both me and Teacher Huyan have been transferred away. Now, only you can protect Ye Yuan. Even if Su Yishan broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he's unlikely to be your match. As a matter of fact, you also received great kindness from Ye Yuan. Slightly repaying it is also expected, yes?"

  Feng Ruoqing then turned to Ye Yuan. "Zhirou this lass is thin-skinned, so she's embarrassed to thank you. I'll say it on her behalf then. The Water Defying Incantation is simply custom-made for Zhirou. These two days, she cultivated day and night, and said that her body's ailments have been relieved considerably!"

  When Feng Ruoqing said that, Feng Zhirou's pretty face became an adorable red apple; charmingly alluring.

  "Who wants to thank him? Humph!" Feng Zhirou left like fleeing after saying this.

  "This lass. I really don't know what to say about her!" Feng Ruoqing sighed.

  "Haha. Junior Apprentice Sister Feng has a genuine personality. It's just that she's a little unruly. Let her be." Ye Yuan just laughed it off.

  Feng Ruoqing also did not know which neuron was misfiring. She suddenly opened her mouth to ask, "Ye Yuan, what do you think of Zhirou?"

  "Ah? Pretty good! En? Teacher Feng isn't matchmaking, right?" Ye Yuan suddenly reacted and retorted with a question.
