Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  To Ye Yuan, forget about Demon Ancestor, what was difficult about even that Tier 9 Demon Emperor?

  Chapter 141. Spatial Spirit Artifact! |

  The Ape King fully opened up his divine soul. Ye Yuan formed a seal with both hands, and a wisp of soul strength reached into the divine soul of the Ape King.

  Regardless whether it was demonic beasts or human martial artists, the divine soul was the most mysterious and also the most fragile place.

  The Ape King only felt his divine soul quiver and his entire being feeling like he was dead tired.

  The Ape King knew that he and Ye Yuan already set up a soul contract. He shall serve Ye Yuan as his master for ten years.

  Currently, the Ape King no longer had his former pride. He said respectfully, "Yuan Fei pays respect to Master."

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So, you're called Yuan Fei? En, since you acknowledged me as your master, there are some things I wanted to make clear to you."

  "Pray tell, master."

  "You have your pride as the Ape King, and I also won't control your words and actions as I please. Hence, under most circumstances, you're free. If you sincerely acknowledge me as your master, I can even choose not to use soul strength. That way, you're virtually completely free. However, if I find out that you feign compliance while acting in opposition even just once, I'll use the soul contract without hesitation. Understood?"

  "Yuan Fei understands! Don't worry, Master. Since this Yuan Fei chose to follow Master, I naturally won't have other thoughts," Yuan Fei said deferentially.

  Methods like soul contracts were actually quite gentle. It primarily looked at the contents of the contract entered by the two parties. Because Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan's soul contract was not on equal footing, Yuan Fei must serve Ye Yuan as master.

  Even so, apart from restrictions on the contract and having to do things for Ye Yuan, there was pretty much no difference from normal times.

  It was possible to forcefully plant a slave seal to control others. The party being enslaved could not hide any thoughts from the master. That was a true slave and not some master-servant relationship.

  There were some even more impressive techniques which could directly obliterate the consciousness of the person being controlled to make him completely submit to his master. As long as the master did not take the initiative to come into contact with the spell, the person being controlled would forever be a walking corpse.

  It was precisely because a method like a soul contract was very gentle that Yuan Fei agreed to Ye Yuan.

  Otherwise, he would not agree with Ye Yuan and just kill him instead.

  One had to acknowledge that Ye Yuan's words dispelled Yuan Fei's last bit of apprehension.

  Ye Yuan's meaning was that they were equals. But when Ye Yuan required something, he had to help Ye Yuan unconditionally.

  Rather than saying master-servant relationship, they might as well say full-time bodyguard.

  Furthermore, Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan had already entered a soul contract. There was also an indistinct hint of telepathy between them.

  Yuan Fei could sense that Ye Yuan truly turned his nose up a little at him, this servant.

  This sort of turning his nose up was not looking down in disdain, but . . . a sort of indescribable feeling.

  Anyway, this master was very mysterious!

  "En, don't need to call Master either, just call me Young Master," Ye Yuan instructed.

  "Yes, Young Master."

  From the beginning since just now, Feng Zhirou's mouth had always been wide open. She was already so amazed that she grinned from ear to ear.

  A Tier 3 demonic beast was subdued just like that with a few sentences from Ye Yuan?

  This was a Tier 3 demonic beast and not some Tom, Dick, and Harry!

  In this thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest, a Tier 3 demonic beast was absolutely a kinglike existence! He actually became Ye Yuan's servant just like that?

  She still suspected that Ye Yuan was bragging a little just now, but only when she saw the Ape King's attitude now, did Feng Zhirou become aware of her ignorance.

  "You . . . You really subdued him?" Feng Zhirou was still a little hesitant to believe and wished to confirm it from Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Look at his appearance. Is there still anything else to doubt? En, en, with Yuan Fei tagging along, time to beat up Su Yubai first after heading back. Heh heh."

  Feng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated by Ye Yuan. At the start, he still had a certain air, but he revealed his true colors in his last sentence.

  This fellow was simply a troublemaker!

  "But, he's the Ape King! How did you subdue him?" Feng Zhirou could not resist asking again.

  "Everybody has a weakness. As long as you grasp their weak point, they can naturally be used by you. To the Ape King, what do you think he desires the most?" Ye Yuan smiled and countered with a question.

  Feng Zhirou thought about it after hearing the question. After some time, she answered uncertainly, "Breakthrough to Tier 4? Well, I don't think there's anything with a greater allure than this."

  "Smart! Yuan Fei is just like you. If you can't break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, then it would be even more excruciating than killing you. You should be able to understand this sort of feeling," Ye Yuan smiled and said.

  "En. En? You actually dare to compare me to a demonic beast?!"

  Feng Zhirou nodded her head first but quickly realized that something was wrong and promptly burst into anger.

  "Haha! I didn't have that intention. Why are you always so sensitive? Don't hit me! I have a Tier 3 bodyguard now! You can't beat me!"

  "Humph! Even if you have a Tier 4 bodyguard, so what? I'll beat you anyway!"

  Feng Zhirou simply did not care. She did not believe that Ye Yuan would really dare to make the Ape King come and beat her.

  "Ouch, I was wrong, my grandaunt!"

  "That's much better!"

  . . . . . .

  After a bout of play fighting, a problem remained in front of Ye Yuan.

  How should he handle the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes?

  Once Yuan Fei left with him, this mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes would lose their support.

  In the Endless Forest, Yuan Fei was not the only Tier 3 demonic beast. If he were to leave, these Long-arm Stone Apes would be without a head. Sooner or later, they would be annexed by other forces.

  The demonic beast world was at times crueler than the human world. It was impossible for other species to tolerate the Long-arm Stone Apes to continue occupying the mountain and calling themselves king. The final outcome would be complete annihilation.

  "Yuan Fei, what about your fellow clansmen? If you leave, they'll probably be swallowed up by other powerful races," Ye Yuan enquired.

  Not that Ye Yuan was unwilling to bring them away, but because there were simply too many Long-arm Stone Apes!

  If he brought them all away, how would he settle them down?

  These Long-arm Stone Apes, when brought outside, could virtually destroy a mortal country. There was no place safe to put such a colossal force.

  If somebody with some bad intentions found them, these Long-arm Stone Apes could be in even greater danger than at the Endless Forest!

  No matter how powerful Yuan Fei was, he was just a single person. Furthermore, the experts from some of the great sects were even stronger than Yuan Fei!

  When Yuan Fei saw that Ye Yuan took the initiative to mention his clansmen, he felt incredibly touched.

  If it were some other person, having acquired such a powerful helper, who would bother about the life and death of Yuan Fei's clansmen?

  "Don't worry, Young Master. I have an extremely powerful spatial spirit artifact on me. It's ample to store my clansmen and me.

  As he said, Yuan Fei flipped over his palm. A small-scale mini palace floated about his palm.

  Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "To think it's actually 128 restric
tions spatial spirit artifact! This toy is probably extremely rare in the Endless World. Looks like you, Yuan Fei, are really fortuitous! No wonder only you among so many clansmen could awaken inherited memories and breakthrough to Tier 3."

  Yuan Fei smiled. "If Young Master can help me breakthrough to Tier 4, you would be Yuan Fei's greatest fortuitous encounter!"

  Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Relax. I won't let you down."

  Chapter 142. Chain Assassinations! |

  A 128 restrictions spirit artifact was practically the utmost limit of a spirit artifact.

  If more restrictions were added, the spirit artifact would find it very hard to withstand the oppression of the restrictions. The final outcome would be the destruction of the spirit artifact.

  Furthermore, spatial spirit artifacts were extremely scarce. A 128 restrictions spatial spirit artifact was even more valuable then.

  If this spirit artifact were known to the outside world, it would surely set off a wave of bloodshed!

  Ye Yuan did not expect that Yuan Fei actually possessed such a spirit artifact.

  "Where did your spirit artifact come from, Yuan Fei?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

  "Back then when I was at peak Tier 2, although I awakened inherited memories, I remained unable to find the juncture for a breakthrough. Hence, I hardened my heart and entered the depths of the Endless Forest alone to seek out the opportunity for a breakthrough. Who knew that I would randomly barge into a human grotto. This spirit artifact was obtained from inside that grotto," Yuan Fei did not hide it and explained to Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan was surprised. "A human grotto? Isn't the Endless Forest under the rule of demonic beasts? Why would there be a human grotto?"

  Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "That I don't know. But I acquired this spirit artifact from the outermost area of that grotto. The inhibitions inside are overly powerful. I simply dared not go in too deep. Back then, I obtained several Demon Spirit Pills and this spatial spirit artifact inside the grotto, and then quietly retreated. I only broke through to Tier 3 after swallowing the Demon Spirit Pills."

  "Oh? There's actually such things like Demon Spirit Pills inside that human martial artist's grotto? Looks like you, Yuan Fei, really have a tremendous fortune. Your future accomplishments definitely won't be low!" Ye Yuan said admirably.

  From Yuan Fei's recount of the situation, his luck was simply freaking amazing!

  Yuan Fei was only at peak Tier 2 back then. Entering deep into the Endless Forest was simply no different from courting death. But not only did he not die, he even bafflingly obtained the opportunity to breakthrough and successfully broke through to Tier 3.

  And now, Yuan Fei encountered Ye Yuan. This could no longer be described as good luck!

  Accompanying by Ye Yuan's side, as long as Yuan Fei did not die, his future accomplishments would be immeasurable!

  Just like Yuan Fei said himself, meeting Ye Yuan was his greatest fortune!

  "Thank you, Young Master!" Yuan Fei exclaimed respectfully.

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like this human grotto should be the temporary dwelling of some extremely powerful existence. This Endless Forest is really such an interesting place!"

  Yuan Fei's words filled Ye Yuan with a deep curiosity about that grotto. After he became stronger, he must absolutely pay a visit to that grotto.

  "Alright, there's no time to lose. Yuan Fei, quickly pack up and put your clansmen inside the spatial spirit artifact. Then follow me. You and your clansmen just stay inside the spatial spirit artifact normally to cultivate. When I need you, I'll naturally call for you," Ye Yuan instructed.

  "Yes, Young Master!" Yuan Fei acknowledged and started to carry out the great migration feat.

  This Crimson Summit Ridge was also a rich treasure land. Apart from the Crimson Soul Grass, there were quite a few other precious medicinal herbs.

  As for those things, Ye Yuan naturally would not waste them. He made the apes pack them all up and deliver it inside the spatial spirit artifact.

  Of course, to the present Ye Yuan, the most precious was still the Crimson Soul Grass.

  Ye Yuan got three to four stalks of it from Yuan Fei and made him keep the rest away inside the spatial spirit artifact.

  Once everything was settled, Yuan Fei and his clansmen all entered the spatial spirit artifact. Then, the spatial spirit artifact shrunk to become a small bead the size of a soybean and was carried on Ye Yuan's body.

  . . . . . .

  Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou continued down the ridge. The Crimson Summit Ridge originally bustling with noise and excitement was abnormally still now.

  But this sort of situation would not last long. What the Endless Forest lacked the least were demonic beasts. This place would soon be occupied by other demonic beasts.

  There would naturally be a bout of fighting and killing over this, but that had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.

  It could be said that he returned fully loaded from this trip to the Crimson Summit Ridge. Not only did he obtain the Crimson Soul Grass, he even subdued a Tier 3 demonic beast.

  Feng Zhirou felt that she was still dreaming even now. This entire day and night's experience was overly bizarre.

  "Am I still dreaming, Ye Yuan? Did we really subdue a Tier 3 demonic beast?"

  "You can pinch yourself. If it hurts, that means you aren't dreaming. Ouch! I asked you to pinch yourself! What did you pinch me for?"

  "You're actually in so much pain. Looks like this really isn't a dream! But I still feel like this isn't real. Ye Yuan, if you let out the Ape King and his clan, wouldn't they be able to directly obliterate the State of Qin?"

  Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Don't be silly! Yuan Fei can't be exposed. He can only be used during crucial moments. Just think about it, if a Tier 3 demonic beast appeared in the human territories, what would be the outcome? Furthermore, Yuan Fei and the rest are hiding inside the spatial spirit artifact. If the spatial spirit artifact is exposed, forget about me, even the State of Qin will face annihilation! So we must keep our mouths tightly shut after we return, understood?"

  Feng Zhirou had a casual personality. She just felt that having a Tier 3 demonic beasts subordinate was very glorious. She honestly did not think that the consequence would be so severe.

  "No way? I was still thinking about bringing Yuan Fei out to show off just now. They actually can't even show their faces?" Feng Zhirou felt dejected.

  Ye Yuan put on a solemn face when he saw that and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, you must treat this matter as if it didn't happen when we return. Or else, the consequences are not something that you and I can bear!"

  "Fine, fine! I understood already! I won't even tell Aunty. Just relax!"

  Feng Zhirou just had a more roguish personality, but she was no fool. Ye Yuan already spoke to such an extent, she obviously knew propriety.

  Especially that spatial spirit artifact. That was virtually a ticking time-bomb!

  The duo chatted as they walked and quickly descended the mountain.

  The Crimson Soul Grass was already obtained, so the next step was the Pine Yang Fruit.

  The place the Pine Yang Fruit grew at was called Gray Pine Forest. It was not really an extremely dangerous place, just the territory of a Tier 2 demonic beast.

  Now that they had Yuan Fei, plucking the Pine Yang Fruit was effortless.

  Walking, the pair reached a dense forest.

  Killing intent appeared in a flash without any warning signs!

  An arrow passed through layers of trees and shot toward Ye Yuan's heart at extreme speed!

  The distance of this arrow was neither too far nor too near. It made Ye Yuan unable to detect it in advance and also did not give him the slightest bit of time to react!

  However, Ye Yuan managed to react to it. His sensitivity towards qi activities was incomparable with regular Essence Qi Realms.

  Spirit Void Shattering Space was executed right away as he leaped to the side, barely evading this arrow!

  Just a
s Ye Yuan was planning on summoning Yuan Fei out, warning bells appeared again!

  A figure charged out from the grass straight for the direction he dove towards!

  That was to say, this evasion by Ye Yuan positioned him perfectly for the next wave of assassination!

  A saber beam flashed past, and a powerful aura came from straight ahead. That was a full powered attack from a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Right at that moment, Ye Yuan also unleashed a palm!

  Except that this palm of his was not aimed for the assassin, but towards the ground.

  Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layer Wave!

  Rumble!

  Dirt flew everywhere, and then Ye Yuan's figure could be seen forcefully changing its direction, and he had a close shave with that saber!

  Chi! This saber still managed to graze lightly Ye Yuan's arm.

  However, it was not over yet!

  A third attack headed for Ye Yuan once more!

  This was a chain assassination precise to the limits!

  The other party calculated all of Ye Yuan's reactions!

  Ye Yuan was in deadly danger!

  Chapter 143. Nine Swords Stance Completed! |

  The assassination this time was inter-connected, making a chain attack. It virtually took into account Ye Yuan's every reaction!

  Just now, Ye Yuan borrowed the recoil from the Eighth Layer Wave to barely avoid the second attack.

  But now, Ye Yuan was in midair. The third attack connected seamlessly without giving Ye Yuan any opportunity to catch his breath.

  The grasp on timing was precise, and coordination was marvelous. It was virtually flawless!

  More importantly, the strengths of these three people were extremely strong. All of them at the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above.

  For three Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above martial artists to lay down such an ingenious killing trap, it was simply an unavoidable certain death scenario!

  "Ahh! Ye Yuan!" Feng Zhirou also reacted in a flash and was about to go over and help Ye Yuan.
