Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Ye Yuan finished speaking. Nanfeng Zhirou's face reddened, but she still said gratefully, "Thank you!"

  Ye Yuan said deridingly, "You've never thanked me regarding your own matter, but you thank me for your Imperial Father's matter. It really makes me feel overwhelmingly flattered! However, you also know that I just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Wanting to refine the Bodhi Pill, most likely, I still need a few days."

  Nanfeng Zhirou did not lose her temper this time around. Instead, she hurriedly shook her head, "No rush. There's no hurry."

  Chapter 162. Medicinal Pill Dealer |

  The Lotus Moon Gorge.

  An immensely vast gorge, which took up a huge area, was located over a thousand miles from the Endless Forest.

  The thousand mile radius was the limits for Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. The danger would increase significantly when heading further north.

  The thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest was mostly the territories of Tier 2 demonic beasts. Only in extremely few places would there be Tier 3 demonic beasts, such as the Crimson Summit Ridge.

  Rather, beyond the thousand mile radius, the number of Tier 3 demonic beasts would have a substantial increase.

  Under normal circumstances, Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were absolutely unwilling to cross this thousand mile marker.

  Normally, the Lotus Moon Gorge was a land where few traversed.

  But these few days, there were more and more human martial artists gathering at the Lotus Moon Gorge. Their strength also became increasingly more powerful.

  From the weak First Level and Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists to the Eighth Level and Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, they were numerous of them here. Among them, there were even some human martial artists who were the same as Su Yubai being at the half-step Crystal Formation Realm!

  Then in the depths of the gorge, unusual undulations were faintly reverberating out. Everyone knew that there were extremely rare natural treasures about to be born.

  On the other side of the gorge, large numbers of Tier 2 demonic beasts similarly gathered, facing the human camp across the distance.

  Both sides maintained relative restraint and did not come to blows.

  In reality, when the Lotus Moon Gorge demonic beast outbreak started, humans and demonic beasts both had frictions which were not small.

  But following the increase in the number of human martial artists and demonic beasts and along with the increase in cultivation realm, both sides fell into a stalemate.

  Because even more powerful experts appeared on both sides, so the restraint became even stronger.

  Crystal Formation Realm martial artists appeared among the human martial artists, while Tier 3 demonic beasts also appeared among the demonic beasts.

  Even though Tier 3 demonic beasts were unable to communicate with humans, their intelligence was no longer low. Naturally, they did not wish to suffer too great a loss of power before the treasure was born.

  The human martial artists also felt the same.

  Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou were currently hanging around those low level human martial artists.

  Presently, Ye Yuan's and Nanfeng Zhirou's attire had already been changed into ordinary demonic beast hunter outfit. Even Nanfeng Zhirou's face was now different. Otherwise, with her appearance, it was very easy to stir up unnecessary trouble.

  There were too many experts in this place. Drawing people's attention was clearly not a wise move.

  As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan initially planned to let Nanfeng Zhirou head back first, and he would come here alone. But when he mentioned letting Nanfeng Zhirou go back first, Nanfeng Zhirou flew into a rage and wielded her sword to fight with Ye Yuan.

  The result naturally concluded with Ye Yuan losing, so he had no choice but to bring her along.

  But, Ye Yuan raised a demand which was that no matter what situation it was, she had to obey him.

  This was Ye Yuan's bottom-line!

  Lotus Moon Gorge could not be compared to previously. The pair's strength was too weak; they could only fish in muddied waters. If they did not lay low, they would only be eaten by others until not even bones were left.

  At that time, even if there was Yuan Fei around, they might not obtain any advantage.

  Currently, on the human side of the gorge, they basically existed in small groups of threes and fives.

  Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou formed a small team. Among these groups, they should belong to the lowest level of existences, so they obviously would not draw people's attention.

  "Ye Yuan, did you manage to inquire any information when you went out just now?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked through transmission.

  "En, I heard some things. But the majority of them were rumors. However, what's basically confirmed now is that what's going to be born should be a fire-attribute treasure! According to the undulations coming from the depths of the gorge, it would be a matter of these two days," Ye Yuan replied.

  "But there are so many people, and they are so powerful. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists also appeared. Do we have any chance?"

  Nanfeng Zhirou originally did not think that there were actually so many people gathered here. She thought that it was only an ordinary treasure.

  Who knew that after arriving, they would see so many Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, which instantly put a damper on their mood.

  So many experts; how could it come to their turn?

  She admits that Ye Yuan was very amazing, but his cultivation realm was too low after all. Dealing with one or two people was not yet an issue, but with so many people, how should they make a move?

  Furthermore, the current distribution of terrain was completely divided based on strength.

  Those half-step Crystal Formation Realm, Ninth Level, Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were basically in the innermost area. Once the treasure was born, they would definitely be the foremost to charge inside. How could they, these outer-ring martial artists, get their turn?

  Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Natural treasures are obtained by those who are fated for it. Doesn't mean that their strength is high and they would definitely obtain it. With me, Ye Yuan around, why do they even bother?"

  "Tch, keep bragging! How do you know that you're the fated person?" Nanfeng Zhirou had a scornful face.

  "I said before, a naturally born sovereign, who else but myself?" Ye Yuan boasted without shame.

  "Enough crap; be serious! What on earth should we do?" Nanfeng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated.

  "What else can we do? Conserve strength and build up energy, then wait and see! The moment the treasure is born, there would definitely be a violent clash between the human martial artists and demonic beasts. At that time, you just have to stay out of trouble, and that will do. Let me handle the rest," Ye Yuan said.

  ". . . . . ."

  Nanfeng Zhirou felt that she became a burden in a flash.

  Aunty clearly made her come and protect him. But up till now, why did Nanfeng Zhirou feel that it was always Ye Yuan protecting her?

  Moreover, Ye Yuan's current strength was already not beneath her. He did not even require her protection anymore.

  This world changed too quickly . . .

  Just as Nanfeng Zhirou was cursing inwardly, a hubbub of voices was heard.

  "Excellent medicinal pills! Top quality medicinal pills! Drunken Star Manor's products are definitely the cream of the crop! Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill, Tier 2 Heart Protecting Pill, Tier 2 healing medicine, Tier 2 Detoxification Pill. All sorts of medicinal pills are available!" a martial artists wearing gray shouted at the top of his voice.

  This shout immediately drew the attention of many martial artists.

  The majority of these martial artists were demonic beast hunters who had already been roaming within the Endless Forest for a very long time. All the necessary medicines on their bodies were pretty much all gone. />
  For a medicinal pill merchant to suddenly appear at this time, it naturally stirred up quite a commotion.

  When Ye Yuan heard that someone was selling medicinal pills, he also could not help but look over. Many people were already surrounding him.

  At this time, perhaps a medicinal pill could save lives.

  However, Ye Yuan's nose lightly moved and already sniffed out that those medicinal pills were fake goods. While the outer appearance was virtually the same as some medicinal pills from the Drunken Star Manor, the medicinal effects were most likely not even 50% of them.

  Ye Yuan just gave a faint smile and no longer bothered with the things happening over there. What he needed now was to remain low-key, not to be in the limelight.

  Nanfeng Zhirou seemed to have seen that something was wrong and could not resist asking, "What are you smiling for? Does that person have a problem?"

  "There's no issue with the person, the problem lies with the medicinal pills. But eating them won't kill people anyway, so let him be," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

  "No way! How did you see it?" Nanfeng Zhirou was at the very least an alchemist, but she could not see any issue at all.

  "The medicinal pill's ingredients don't have any problem. It's just that when refining, Mist Yuan Water was added in. The portion originally capable of refining one medicinal pill was refined into four/five pills by him. The medicinal effects would naturally be much worse," Ye Yuan explained.

  "You saw that at a glance?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in shock.

  Chapter 163. Not Buying! |

  "Not saw it, but smelled it," Ye Yuan pointed to his nose and said.

  "But the Mist Yuan Water is odorless. How did you smell it?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in amazement.

  "The Mist Yuan Water is odorless, but when mixed into medicinal pills, it would give off a faint sort of special fragrance," Ye Yuan said.

  "But you're so far away from there! Do you have a dog's nose?" Nanfeng Zhirou was flabbergasted.

  Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and was similarly speechless. Couldn't you make a better comparison?

  "This is an ability that has been repeatedly tempered out. Heh heh," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  Ye Yuan's sensitivity towards medicinal pills was etched deeply into the divine soul after repeated tempering.

  Virtually every type of medicinal herb; he was able to sensitively detect it.

  Rather than say it was the smell, it should be that it was his divine soul's instinctive reaction.

  After the incident last time, Nanfeng Zhirou no longer doubted Ye Yuan.

  This fellow, as long as it was something which involved medicinal pills or herbal ingredients, his predictions and judgment were virtually 100% accurate. He had never made any errors!

  He said that these medicinal pills had problems, so these medicinal pills must have issues!

  Nonetheless, Nanfeng Zhirou followed Ye Yuan and was not worried that the medicinal pills had problems. Who knew how many medicinal pills this fellow refined for this trip; it was like they were never-ending.

  Nanfeng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan clearly only prepared for a day. Where did so many medicinal pills come from?

  Nanfeng Zhirou felt that she was becoming more and more interested in Ye Yuan.

  The more she could not understand Ye Yuan, the more she wanted to understand him. What sort of feeling was this . . .?

  Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou were chatting over here, but that medicinal pill merchant's business was abnormally good. He had his hands full.

  "This Brother, aren't you going to buy some pills? In a crisis, these medicinal pills can save lives! My medicinal pills are all Drunken Star Manor products. The medicinal effects are definitely exceptional!"

  After that medicinal pill merchant busied himself for some time, he started to promote his medicinal pills to a cold-faced demonic beast hunter.

  Ye Yuan had long noticed that demonic beast hunter. When others were swarming to buy medicinal pills, he never moved. Not only did he not move, none of the four people in his small group moved.

  "Not buying!" the cold-faced man just lightly said these two words.

  "Brother, these medicinal pills of mine are top-quality medicinal pills! You're also aware of the Drunken Star Manor's pills. They are matchless in the State of Qin . . ." the medicinal pill seller kept on praising the good points of the Drunken Star Manor's medicinal pills repeatedly.

  Hearing that medicinal pill seller praising the Drunken Star Manor so fervently, Ye Yuan also felt somewhat displeased.

  However, he also understood that he was doing business. Bragging a little was a necessity. But now was not the time to get angry, so he held it back.

  After that demonic beast hunter calmly listened to that medicinal pill seller's touting, he said two more words lightly, "Not buying!"

  "I say, Brother, why?" The medicinal pill seller was somewhat dispirited.

  That demonic beast hunter gave him a look and said, "I only buy Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's medicinal pills and nothing else!"

  When Ye Yuan heard that, he promptly felt more soothed. There were still clear-minded people in this world!

  Once he said this, the medicinal pill seller became unhappy. "Brother, not that I'm reproaching you, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is close to shutting down. What are you clinging onto that tree for? From the way I see it, before one month, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will definitely shut down. Could it be that you, Brother, aren't going to eat medicinal pills in the future?"

  The icy-faced man gave the medicinal pill seller a cold glance and said, "The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion definitely won't shut down! Pavilion Lord Ye is currently in closed-seclusion. After he exits seclusion, he'll definitely have means to turn the tide! Humph!"

  "Dream on! Who doesn't know that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion already doesn't have the strength to save the situation? How many days has it been? The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion remained silent this whole time, while the Drunken Star Manor already relied on the Essence Gathering Pill to completely dominate the State of Qin's medicinal pill market. In future, it will be the Drunken Star Manor having a monopoly! Furthermore, Manor Lord Wan has always been suppressing Ye Hang in terms of cultivation realm. What is the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion relying on to turn around?"

  The cold-faced man gave a cold laugh. "So what? The Drunken Star Manor appears to be dignified and honorable, but everyone is clear in their hearts how many filthy things they did secretly! Pavilion Lord Ye has a benevolent heart and mind. He treats us demonic beast hunters like brothers! I believe that Heaven has eyes. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will surely tide over this crisis!"

  After the man said all this, regretful expressions involuntarily showed up on the faces of those who originally bought the medicinal pills.

  Many of them had received the grave of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, but their support towards the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion at this time was inferior to this small team.

  "Humph! Truly thickheaded! Alright, don't buy now. In the future, even if you beg to buy from me, I also won't sell to you!" Finishing, the medicinal pill seller flicked his sleeves and left.

  The cold-faced man could not be bothered with him and sat back down.

  The medicinal pill seller was not too affected by it and continued to tout his medicinal pills. It was just that after that man caused such a commotion, his business immediately fell drastically.

  The cold-faced man stared at the back view of the medicinal pill seller and let out a cold snort.

  Right then, a voice from god knows where secretly transmitted directly into his ears.

  The cold-faced man heard that, and his expression instantly changed. After musing for some time, he suddenly stood up.

  "Everybody, don't buy his medicinal pills! These medicinal pills are all fake! This fellow is a cheat!" the cold-faced man shouted loudly.

  Hearing the cold-faced man's shout, all those who bought the medicinal pills tensed up. What followed was using
unkind eyes to stare at the medicinal pill seller.

  The medicinal pill seller was also greatly alarmed. He was somewhat guilty, but in front of so many people, he had to remain strong.

  "Don't slander me! It's fine if you didn't purchase, but you're even ruining my business here. Do you really take me to be easy to bully? These medicinal pills have the unique marking of the Drunken Star Manor. They are absolutely genuine goods. You dare to besmirch the name of Drunken Star Manor?" the medicinal pill seller said furiously.

  The cold-faced man smiled coldly and said, "Snort! It's true that these medicinal pills are from the Drunken Star Manor, but are the medicinal pills refined by the Drunken Star Manor truly without problems?"

  "What problem is there, say it! If you don't give a proper justification, then this grudge of ours is set! After returning to the capital, I'll pass these words to the Drunken Star Manor!" the medicinal pill seller threatened.

  These past one month, the Drunken Star Manor had become incomparably domineering.

  The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion gradually fell, and they virtually became a monopoly. The people who came out from the Drunken Star Manor basically all had their noses pointed to the skies.

  Since this medicinal pill seller was selling the Drunken Star Manor's pills, he definitely had significant ties with the Drunken Star Manor.

  The cold-faced man remained unperturbed and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the medicinal effects of these pills aren't even half of the finished products! What intentions are you harboring to use these medicinal pills to hoodwink everyone?"

  When he said this, everyone's faces changed again.

  While medicinal effects being insufficient is not a big issue, at the crucial time, it could kill.

  For example, a Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill; if the medicinal effects were lacking and could only recover a very small part of essence energy, wouldn't that be waiting for death?

  Hearing the cold-faced man said this, the medicinal pill seller did not get nervous. Instead, he smiled gleefully and said, "You say that my medicinal pill's effects are lacking, won't we know after letting everyone try it?"
