Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  "Brat, you actually dare to compare yourself to Equal Heaven Old Ancestor?! Truly unaware of the immensity of Heaven and Earth! Equals Heaven Old Ancestor is a Deity Realm expert. How can an ant like you compare?!" The Ape King said furiously.

  Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Are aristocrats born nobler than others? Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape did not grow up in the Divine Realm but rose to power in the lower realms. Back then, wasn't there also people who said that he didn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth? Truthfully telling you, refining the Demon Crystal Pill is but an effortless matter for me. It's just that my current realm is insufficient, that's why I can't refine it. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm within a year is a breeze to me. That's all I have to say. Talking anymore won't help. If Senior Ape King doesn't believe my words, then make a move right now."

  Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around and really just ignored the Ape King.

  The Ape King stared at Ye Yuan and was at a loss on what to do for a moment . . .

  Chapter 139. The Tides Turn! |

  Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan's words were indeed incomparably rampant. No matter how it sounded, it just seemed like big talk.

  What kind of existence was the Equals Heaven Saint Ape?

  That was a Deity Realm existence!

  In this era where the Deity Realm was lost, the bright halo of those former Deity Realm experts appeared to be even more dazzling and legendary.

  A native of the Endless World actually dared to compare himself to Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. Just how much dauntless courage was needed?!

  To the stone ape clan, Equals Heaven Old Ancestor was a totem-like being; an existence that brooks no blasphemy!

  This comparison by Ye Yuan truly angered the Ape King!

  However, what surprised the Ape King was that this original inhabitant of the Endless World actually knew about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor!

  If not for having awakened his inherited memories, even he himself did not know about the existence of Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. How did this brat know?

  Not just that, he even knew clearly about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor's growing up experiences. That was even stranger.

  Although this brat might be a little weak, his body was leaking with abnormality.

  Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could unleash a powerful attack that could threaten Spirit Condensation Realms.

  Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could become a low-rank Alchemy Master.

  Moreover, the data on that badge said that Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm when he passed the test! This was simply subverting!

  The Ape King even knew that human alchemists rarely knew about the existence of the Demon Crystal Pill. But this teenage brat actually knew!

  All in all, it was so abnormal!

  If these things were combined, perhaps . . . this brat could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?

  Then again, it was just a year's time. If Ye Yuan could not refine it, he did not lose much anyway. At most he would just blow his top and then kill Ye Yuan.

  But what if Ye Yuan could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?

  Then what if Ye Yuan could help him advance to late-stage Tier 3?

  Could it be that he still had the possibility of breaking through to Tier 4 in this lifetime?

  Thinking up to here, the Ape King found it hard to calm his emotions down again. The temptation of Tier 4 was . . . utterly irresistible!

  What was the concept of Tier 4?

  Even in this Endless Forest where high tier demonic beasts were as plentiful as clouds, Tier 4 demonic beasts also counts as a hegemon of a region!

  The current Ape King was at most occupying a mountain and calling himself king.

  Within a radius of a thousand miles, who knew how many Tier 3 demonic beasts there were just like him. He was merely one of them.

  This was a sure win and no losses gamble!

  Even if the Ape King lost, what he lost was just a year's time anyway. But if he won, then he would obtain an even broader future!

  A year was completely irrelevant to the Ape King. It could not even increase his strength the least bit.

  "You . . . you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?" the Ape King asked somewhat weakly.

  Ye Yuan turned his face over and snubbed the Ape King.

  He knew that his words already took effect. As long as he let the Ape King become conscious of his mysteriousness, he definitely would not lay hands on him.

  Just a year's time was completely worthless to the Ape King.

  Ye Yuan could naturally think of what the Ape King desired.

  Hence, it was the Ape King who was begging him now, and not him beseeching the Ape King anymore.

  Compared to Tier 4, what did the Crimson Soul Grass even matter?

  Seeing Ye Yuan ignore him, the Ape King could not help feeling awkward. But when he recalled his attitude towards him just now, the Ape King felt that the attitude of this person now did not seem to be improper.

  On the contrary, the more Ye Yuan behaved so, the more the Ape King felt that he was unfathomable.

  Only a capable person would posture like this!

  Feng Zhirou who was looking at this scene by the side could not help widening her eyes.

  This plot reversed too quickly!

  The Ape King was still in a billowing rage just now and wanted to smack people to death at the slightest provocation. Why did his attitude do a 180 degree U-turn after exchanging a few sentences?

  Feng Zhirou unintentionally looked at Ye Yuan curiously. She really wanted to know what went on between Ye Yuan and the Ape King.

  However, she knew that now was not the time to interrupt, so she could only press down her curiosity deep in her heart.

  Feng Zhirou knew that she and Ye Yuan was already safe now. That was enough.

  "Bra . . . young man, if you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill, you can have as much Crimson Soul Grass as you want!" The Ape King changed his form of address at the last moment and turned 'brat' into 'young man.'

  Right now, the only bargaining chip on the Ape King's hands was the Crimson Soul Grass. Ye Yuan was ignoring him, so he could only take that out.

  Ye Yuan only turned his head back slowly after seeing that the Ape King went to the main point, saying indifferently, "Isn't Senior Ape King bullying people too much by using the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange for the Demon Crystal Pill?"

  Crimson Soul Grass was only a Tier 2 medicinal herb. Though it might be scarce, it was simply garbage when compared with Tier 3 medicine pills!

  And this sort of medicinal pill for the consumption of demonic beasts like the Demon Crystal Pill was practically unheard of in the human territories. In the Endless World, alchemists who could refine demonic beast medicinal pills could likely be counted on the fingers of one hand.

  Such was the pricelessness of the Demon Crystal Pill!

  The Ape King also showed slight embarrassment and said, "Young man, as long as you can really refine out the Demon Crystal Pill, just list your terms! As long I can I do it, I definitely won't say no!"

  Ye Yuan looked at the Ape King and suddenly beamed, smiling until the Ape King felt scared.

  However, Ye Yuan did not list his terms. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Senior Ape King, I wonder if you have any interest in the Demon Manor Pill?"

  When the Ape King heard 'Demon Manor Pill' these three words, he involuntarily sucked in a cold breath, and he became battered out of his senses. Where was there still any demeanor of an unparalleled expert?

  For an ape's face to have such exciting expressions, it was hard on the Ape King.

  Currently, the Ape King's entire body was trembling. He was clearly agitated to the extreme!

  "Demon . . . demon . . . demon . . . you can actually even refine that?!"

  After saying 'demon' for a long time, the Ape King did not complete the three words 'Demon Manor Pill' and was alr
eady so agitated that he was stuttering.

  Demon Manor Pill was precisely a medicinal pill which could aid demonic beasts to breakthrough to Tier 4!

  It was Tier 4!

  Before today, he had never had any extravagant hopes of breaking through to Tier 4. But now, Ye Yuan whetted his appetite sky high, and actually even brought up the Demon Manor Pill!

  Was it not wanting a person's life?! No wait, it should be wanting an ape's life!

  No matter human martial artists or demonic beasts, who could withstand the allure of breaking through a major realm?

  Nobody!

  Each major realm was like a heavenly chasm!

  Those geniuses could cross a heavenly chasm, but might not be able to cross the next one. After crossing the next heavenly chasm, they might not be able to cross the next one!

  Each major realm was just like a fine sieve, eliminating countless geniuses again and again.

  Each heavenly chasm could make innumerable geniuses fall in the sand with broken halberds.

  The Ape King being able to awaken its inherited memories meant that he already counted as a pinnacle genius among the Long-arm Stone Apes.

  But this heavenly chasm called Tier 4 mercilessly shut the door on his face!

  Now, did he really have the chance to cross this heavenly chasm?

  Ye Yuan was very satisfied with the Ape King's response and said smilingly, "Didn't I say just now? Refining pills to me is just a common meal. What I'm lacking now is but cultivation realm!"

  Chapter 140. There's Only This One Chance! |

  Ye Yuan's manner of speaking clearly seemed like he was boasting.

  However, the Ape King did not know why, but he felt that what Ye Yuan said was real!

  Perhaps this feeling originated from the powerful self-confidence coming off of Ye Yuan's body.

  This sort of feeling was contradictory, yet it was so persuasive.

  In the end, it was the allure of Tier 4 which trumped all!

  "State your terms, young man! I concede!" The Ape King said helplessly.

  After awakening his inherited memories, the Ape King's intellect was no longer inferior to regular humans. He knew that Ye Yuan whetting up his appetite was definitely not for something as simple as the Crimson Soul Grass.

  Seeing the Ape King's defeated look, Ye Yuan said calmly, "With ten years as the duration, acknowledge me as your master!"

  "What? You, a puny little Essence Qi Realm, actually want me to acknowledge you as my master?" The Ape King was enraged when he heard that.

  On the Crimson Summit Ridge, the Ape King was a paramount existence. Regardless of strength or age, he was on an entirely different level from Ye Yuan.

  To ask him to acknowledge a youth as his master was even more painful than killing him!

  But Ye Yuan had an indifferent look on his face as he said, "After ten years, even if you wanted to acknowledge me as your master, I'm afraid that you won't even get a queue number. If you're unwilling, then I don't really care. I'll just suffer this small loss and use the Demon Crystal Pill to exchange the Crimson Soul Grass with you. Either way, refining a Demon Crystal Pill is effortless to me. After a year, I'll hand you the Demon Crystal Pill, and the two of us won't owe each other anything! But at that time, don't think about becoming my servant to exchange for the Demon Manor Pill."

  Ye Yuan paused and kept away the smile on his face, saying solemnly, "There's only this one chance!"

  With Ye Yuan keeping away his smile, the aura of a sovereign undulated out naturally, as if he was a sovereign who descended upon the world!

  Feng Zhirou had never seen this side of Ye Yuan as if he looked down on all things under the heavens. This sort of disposition and aura, even if her father were here, most likely he would also admit defeat, right?

  Ye Yuan was originally the Medicine King Hall's young patriarch, an Alchemy Emperor with supreme status in the Divine Realm. Even when matched up against those old undying from the Alchemist Association, his standards went beyond rather than falling below the mark.

  Although he changed his body now, that sort of disposition of a sovereign originated from the deepest part of the soul. It was completely unnecessary for him to fake it.

  When the Ape King saw how Ye Yuan's bearing was actually so extraordinary, he was unwittingly shocked inwardly.

  As a sovereign himself, the Ape King was even clearer that this sort of bearing was absolutely not something that could be faked by an Essence Qi Realm youth!

  There were definitely many unknown secrets on this young man's body!

  The Ape King inadvertently started to re-evaluate Ye Yuan's words.

  Ye Yuan's meaning was very clear. If he chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, then he would lose the opportunity to advance to a Tier 4 demonic beast.

  So the question now was whether Ye Yuan could really refine a Demon Manor Pill.

  This was similarly another gamble. Ye Yuan increased the original bet multiple times!

  Ye Yuan saying to acknowledge him as his master was naturally not just verbally. It was to enter a soul contract.

  After entering a soul contract, all actions of the Ape King had to comply with Ye Yuan's commands without resistance. Otherwise, a single thought from Ye Yuan could make the Ape King's soul dissipate.

  That was to say, he would lose ten years of freedom!

  If the Ape King chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, he would earn without losing anything. With the Demon Crystal Pill, there was no problem for him to breakthrough to middle-stage Tier 3.

  But that way, he would also lose the chance to breakthrough to Tier 4.

  Perhaps, this might be his only chance to become a Tier 4 demonic beast!

  If he chose the latter, the risk he faced would be much greater. If Ye Yuan could not refine the Demon Manor Pill, he would lose ten years of freedom!

  This was something the Ape King could not accept!

  But if he chose the latter, he would obtain the opportunity to breakthrough to Tier 4!

  This opportunity was too hard to come by!

  The temptation of Tier 4 was too huge!

  The Ape King kept on contorting his ape face in agony. Clearly, his heart was filled with turmoil.

  Seeing the Ape King show such an interesting expression, Feng Zhirou nearly laughed out loud. But she was also very astonished in her heart.

  "Just what did you say to him? Why is he showing such an expression?" Feng Zhirou could not suppress her curiosity and voice transmitted to ask.

  Ye Yuan did not hide it and told her the matter of his intention to take the Ape King in as his servant.

  The look on Feng Zhirou's face also became very fascinating when she heard Ye Yuan's voice transmission.

  "But that's a Tier 3 Ape King! Even the Dean might not be his match. You actually want to take him in as your servant?" Feng Zhirou nearly let out a sound.

  "Just a Tier 3 Stone Ape, that's all. Barely strong enough to be my servant I guess. It's also because my strength is too weak, or else I wouldn't even be bothered to take him in. You're also aware, my Master is very strong. If the servant I take in is too lousy, the elder will also lose his prestige." Ye Yuan said helplessly.

  Feng Zhirou stared at Ye Yuan and was already completely speechless.

  The two of them barged into the Crimson Summit Ridge at nearly the cost of their lives. No matter how Feng Zhirou thought, she did not expect the situation to reverse so swiftly.

  The previous moment, they were nearly killed by this Ape King, and the next moment, Ye Yuan wanted to take this Ape King in as his servant.

  Not that I don't understand, but it's this world that changed too quickly!

  Just what kind of existence was Ye Yuan's master?

  The Ape King's struggle continued for several dozen breaths of time, but Ye Yuan did not urge him.

  Ye Yuan also knew that this matter was an extremely painful choice to the Ape King.

  The Ape King in the Crimson Summit Rid
ge was like an emperor in a mortal country.

  To make an emperor become another person's servant was clearly an extremely difficult matter.

  Gradually, the Ape King's facial expression settled down. Ye Yuan knew that he already made his decision.

  "How is it? Have you considered it?" Ye Yuan asked calmly.

  "To get me to become your servant also works, but you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to definitely refine the Demon Manor Pill for me within ten years!" the Ape King said solemnly.

  Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that. "Don't be mistaken. Right now, I'm not the one begging you to be my servant, but it's me who's giving you a chance! You can only choose to believe me or not to believe in me. There isn't a third road."

  Seeing the Ape King's expression turn hostile, Ye Yuan added on and said, "Don't dream about trapping me here to refine pills for you. Once I have the strength to refine the Demon Manor Pill, I have a thousand ways to make you die unknowingly. You can try if you don't believe!"

  The Ape King did not expect that the notion had just jumped to mind and Ye Yuan already guessed it.

  He was indeed thinking about keeping Ye Yuan here to refine pills for him just now, but he did not imagine being counter-threatened by Ye Yuan.

  Just as Ye Yuan had said, if his Alchemy Dao attainments were truly so high, then he would really have this ability.

  Another long bout of silence passed. The Ape King suddenly gave a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, "Fine! For this chance to breakthrough to Tier 4, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master for ten years!"

  Ye Yuan's face did not reveal any surprise. He chuckled loudly when he heard that and said, "Don't worry, following me, Ye Yuan, let alone Tier 4, even Tier 5 Demon Monarch or Tier 6 Demon Ancestor does not amount to much! I don't need ten years. Even I were to chase you away, I'm afraid that you won't be willing to leave my side!"

  These words still sounded so rampant and unreliable. In truth, Ye Yuan was afraid of scaring the Ape King, so he held back.
