Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  . . . . . .

  "Ye Yuan, I didn't think that after your involvement in the Endless Trials this time, it's like you were reborn after coming back! That move just now, even if I were matched up against it, I would also be at a loss on what to do!" Huyan Yong marveled.

  Huyan Yong felt that not only did Ye Yuan raise his cultivation realm, but his power also grew much greater.

  Although he was only at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, his strength was probably already not beneath Long Tang's!

  Huyan Yong was somewhat faintly looking forward to the match between these two pinnacle geniuses of the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy.

  "Haha, I can be considered to have some small gains I guess." Ye Yuan also could not share too much and could only make it vague.

  As a matter of fact, his biggest gain this trip to the Endless Forest was still the Medicine God's Soul Canon. It was just that he was still unable to comprehend those golden words in a short period of time. Hence, this Medicine God's Soul Canon was not useful to Ye Yuan at the moment.

  The two traveled side by side and soon arrived at Jiang Yunhe's residence.

  "Lord Dean, Ye Yuan has returned. I brought him over to pay respects to you," Huyan Yong said respectfully outside the door.

  "Enter."

  Huyan Yong and Ye Yuan pushed the door and entered once they heard that. Upon entering, the discovered that there were still other people inside the house.

  An old man sat opposite Jiang Yunhe, giving people an immeasurable feeling. There was a young man standing beside the elderly man. Merely 18 or 19 years old, but already had Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation.

  To possess such strength at this age, he was definitely like a crane standing among chickens when placed in the Dan Wu Academy! Even Long Tang could not compare.

  "Haha, Ye Yuan! Such a coincidence. I was just about to send someone to call you and Long Tang over, but you arrived first. Quickly come over and pay respects to Lord Envoy Yao Qian!" Jiang Yunhe immediately laughed and said when he saw Ye Yuan.

  It was very clear that Jiang Yunhe had long known about Ye Yuan returning to the academy.

  "Junior Ye Yuan pays respect to Lord Yao Qian!" Ye Yuan did not say much and gave a salute to Yao Qian.

  "Academy's instructor Huyan Yong pays respect to Lord Envoy!" Huyan Yong's face changed when he heard that and went forward to give a respectful bow.

  Yao Qian lightly glanced at Ye Yuan and said, "En. You're the student who made it past the Nine Heavens Road with Essence Qi Realm strength?"

  "It's precisely this junior," Ye Yuan said.

  No idea why, but Ye Yuan felt that this envoy's expression when looking at him was somewhat odd as if he did not really like him.

  This old fellow should be from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He did not seem to know anyone, right?

  Ye Yuan could not figure out just where he had offended this old man.

  The expression of the youth beside the old man was also filled with contempt when looking at him.

  How baffling!

  "Haha, this person beside Lord Yao Qian must be his proud disciple, Yang Hao. Don't look at him being so young, not only did he reach the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm on the martial path, he's even a high-rank Alchemy Master already. He is a genius figure even greater than your Teacher Feng! He will be your and Long Tang's Senior Apprentice Brother in the future. You guys should try to be closer," Jiang Yunhe praised.

  Being praised by Jiang Yunhe, Yang Hao's face showed a trace of delight, but it was concealed very well.

  However, Ye Yuan saw that and could not help scorning in his heart. Just based on this disposition, it was futile no matter how high his cultivation realm was.

  It looked like these sect members all had a lofty and exalted sense when coming to the secular world.

  Ye Yuan could not resist glancing at Huyan Yong. Seeing that he had no reaction and seemed to feel that it was only natural, he could not help secretly sighing.

  However, Ye Yuan was very disdainful of such an attitude. Ye Yuan listened to Jiang Yunhe's introduction while appearing calm on the surface. But he was criticizing ceaselessly in his heart.

  What kind of genius did he count as? Since when did geniuses become so utterly worthless?

  But in front of Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan obviously would not show anything. He just clasped his hands and said, "I've seen Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. In the future, after I enter the sect, I hope that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang can look after me."

  Ye Yuan's manners were already considered very humble and appropriate. Who would have thought that this Yang Hao just replied indifferently, "Haha, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is hailed as the number one person in a millennium. Why would you need the care of an incompetent person like me?"

  Chapter 185. Never Met Anyone so Retarded |

  A thick smell of gunpowder appeared the moment he opened his mouth.

  Ye Yuan's face fell slightly. This fellow was simply here to stir up shit, right?

  He was originally already not that happy with Yang Hao's high and mighty attitude. He was only so courteous on account of Jiang Yunhe's face.

  It not, with Ye Yuan's personality, he would not even be bothered with Yang Hao.

  The so-called geniuses did not even count as dull wits in Ye Yuan's eyes!

  "So Senior Apprentice Brother Yang knows that he is mediocre huh. Looks like you still have some clear estimation of yourself. I was worried that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang was getting a little carried away after being praised too much by people." Since the other party did not give face, Ye Yuan obviously had no need to be polite.

  "Humph! The so-called number one person in a millennium is just extolled by some ignorant people of the secular world! Those who charged past the Nine Heavens Road, just a random grab in the Tranquil Cloud Sect and you get a bunch. Only the outer sect will sensationalize this stunt."

  Facing Ye Yuan's ridicule, Yang Hao did not get stung by it but met him blow for blow.

  Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm don't really care about what number one person in a millennium. Only some people with mediocre talent would take this sort of matter to heart."

  With each 'mediocre talent' Ye Yuan said out loud, Yang Hao felt irritated by that constant harping on it in his heart. He was only being a little sarcastic to Ye Yuan just now. But he did not think that Ye Yuan would attack persistently from a chink in his armor.

  "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye keeps saying mediocre. I wonder if you dare to compete with me, this mediocre talent? I want to consult just what kind of genius is the alleged number one person in a thousand years."

  Yang Hao's condescending attitude was because he was dead sure that Ye Yuan would not dare to answer the challenge.

  He was at Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and high-rank Alchemy Master; a completely different level from Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan dared to accept the challenge, then he would not be a genius, but a one hundred percent dumbass!

  Ye Yuan was just about to say something when Jiang Yunhe by the side said, "Do not be rude, Ye Yuan! Lord Yao Qian is the high sect's Pill Hall elder. This trip for him and Yang Hao is to especially fetch you and Long Tang into the sect."

  Finishing, he turned to Yao Qian again, saying, "Ye Yuan is young and aggressive. Pray that Lord Yao Qian will not take offense."

  Facing Jiang Yunhe's reprimand, Ye Yuan did not voice anything. He knew that this was Jiang Yunhe reminding him that this journey to the Tranquil Cloud Sect had to be through the two of them and they could not be offended.

  Yao Qian did not express anything. He just said indifferently, "The affairs of young people, just let them resolve it themselves. We old fellows should not interfere."

  Yao Qian's status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was much higher than him. Since he said so, Jiang Yunhe obviously could not say much. He just felt slightly displeased.

  He naturally knew why this Yao Qian was targeting Ye Yuan. But he did not thin
k that it would be so obvious, putting Ye Yuan down right after coming.

  Yao Qian was an alchemist from the Ouyang Family line. He had very good relations with Ouyang Ming. Jiang Yunhe instantly felt that something was off when he saw him serve as the envoy.

  Jiang Yunhe did not think that it was merely a coincidence for the sect to send Yao Qian over.

  Indeed, the gunpowder smell started right after Ye Yuan entered!

  Initially, he was still harboring a compromising attitude, hoping that Yao Qian would give him this face. Who knew that Yao Qian's light sentence would directly press down his stomach full of words?

  This one elderly and one youth were truly going too far. An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually verbally provoked a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This was simply utterly shameless!

  Even though this was Jiang Yunhe's first contact with Ye Yuan, he had long heard about everything he had done. He knew that this punk was definitely not some obedient baby. He might really just accept the provocation.

  Jiang Yunhe knew that Ye Yuan was very monstrous, but the disparity between him and Yang Hao was not an ordinary kind of big.

  Even though Ye Yuan advancing to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm made him very surprised, it was still impossible to be Yang Hao's match.

  Jiang Yunhe signaled with his eyes at Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan simply ignored him.

  "How about it, number one person in a millennium? Dare to compete?" Yang Hao looked at Ye Yuan pleased with himself as he squeezed with his words.

  Even a clay bodhisattva have 30% anger, let alone Ye Yuan. While he did not know what the reason was, these two fellows were clearly targeting him.

  If Ye Yuan could endure, then he would not be Ye Yuan anymore!

  "If I don't even dare to answer the challenge of some second-rate talent, how can I dare be called the number one person in a millennium? Say it then; compete in what?"

  Ye Yuan directly acknowledged this title of 'number one in a millennium' and stepped on Yang Hao again along the way.

  Jiang Yunhe sighed in his heart. This punk indeed could not take the spurring!

  The corner of Yang Hao's lips twitched when he heard that. This was a typical case of opening a dying factory after giving a bit of color, right?

  However, when I trample you underfoot in a while, let's see if you dare to be so cocky!

  He stole a glance at the two-star badge on Ye Yuan's chest and said in a scornful way, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's realm is too low. If we compete on the martial path, I might not win using my true abilities. Since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is also an Alchemy Master, let's compete in alchemy skills. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's opinion is?"

  Ye Yuan smiled. He smiled very happily.

  Seen before retards, but never met anyone so retarded.

  Ignoring the crushing advantage of cultivation realm and just had to choose something about alchemy skills. It looks like this fellow was very confident in his alchemy skills!

  But . . . seeking out an Alchemy Emperor to compete in alchemy skills. How did Yang Hao have the nerve to come up with that?

  Huyan Yong did not say anything ever since entering the house. He was also expressionless right now, but he was so delighted that flowers were blooming in his heart.

  This idiot actually sought Ye Yuan to compete on alchemy skills. Wasn't this asking for it?

  If it was before Ye Yuan came to look for him, he really would not have much confidence in Ye Yuan. But now, he very much wanted to see the fascinating expression on Yang Hao's face in a while.

  Although Huyan Yong had completely no clue about alchemy, he knew that the Crystal Formation Pill was definitely not an ordinary Tier 2 medicinal pill. Even high-rank Alchemy Masters would probably find it very challenging to refine.

  Yang Hao was actually competing in alchemy skills with Ye Yuan who could refine out Crystal Formation Pills. If this wasn't asking for a beating, then what was?

  Not knowing why, when he saw Ye Yuan's smile, Yang Hao's felt a bout of frustration in his heart.

  "What? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye don't dare to compete? If you don't dare to contend, then forget it. However, after you enter the sect, you just have to walk around me, that's all."

  "En? This idea is pretty good. How about this, whichever one of us wins, the other party will have to walk around the other person if they see him. How's that?"

  "Hur hur, ignorance is truly bliss! Fine, I promise you!" Yang Hao said brimming with self-confidence.

  "Okay, you say it then. Compete in what?" Ye Yuan inquired.

  "Controlling fire is the foundation for alchemists and also an important criterion to measure alchemy skills. Like this, let us each retrieve an ingredient on the spot and compete in controlling fire. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's opinion is?"

  As he said, Yang Hao pointed to the Illuminating Fire on the inner wall of the house.

  Illuminating Fire was a type of earth fire. Because its luminosity was better, it was generally used to illuminate.

  Alchemy Apprentices did not have a high requirement towards controlling fire because of insufficient soul strength. But when one reached the Alchemy Master realm, their alchemy skills would finally be considered to have crossed the rudimentary threshold. The requirement towards controlling fire was also very high.

  Yang Hao saw that Ye Yuan was only a low-rank Alchemy Master, so he determined that he had just come into contact with controlling fire not long and should be very weak in terms of controlling fire.

  This was intentionally making things difficult for Ye Yuan.

  What he did not know was that not only did Ye Yuan know how to play with fire, there was even the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame inside his body . . .

  Chapter 186. Fire Burning Buttocks |

  "Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is very confident in your control over fire! Okay, then compete in fire control. Please go ahead, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang," Ye Yuan said while smiling.

  Smile then, smile then! In a while, I'll see if you can keep smiling! Yang Hao sneered coldly in his heart.

  Comparing overall abilities in alchemy skill, perhaps he, Yang Hao, was not considered very impressive among the sect's core disciples.

  But when competing in controlling fire, he could rank in the top twenty!

  This country bumpkin definitely did not understand just what kind of concept was top twenty.

  The geniuses of the Tranquil Cloud Sect were not something comparable to a mere outer sect. Like him, Yang Hao was merely just some dreg in the entire sect with his excellent talent!

  Those fellows in the Pill Hall were more monstrous one after the other!

  To be able to rank in the top twenty in the aspect of controlling fire, Yang Hao could already be amply proud!

  "Humph! Watch closely. Today, I'll let you, a frog in a well, witness what is called controlling fire!"

  As he spoke, Yang Hao went in front of the Illuminating Fire and beckoned with two fingers.

  The flame directly broke away from the lantern and followed Yang Hao's finger as it danced in the air, looking extremely dazzling.

  Yang Hao formed seals with both hands and the Illuminating Fire transformed into a thin and long fire dragon that coiled around him, looking very obedient.

  This move was finished extremely beautifully, giving people a sort of feeling that it was very pleasing to the eyes.

  Suddenly, Yang Hao beckoned with his fingertip. The fire dragon flew out from the boundary around his body and rushed straight at Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan simply watched Yang Hao's performance with a faint smile and did not have the slightest intention of making a move.

  A trace of a cold smile flashed across the corner of Yang Hao's mouth. He was already facing an imminent crisis, and Ye Yuan was still there pretending to be calm.

  Although the might of the Illuminating Fire was not strong and would not cause Ye Yuan any substantial injuries, it was more t
han enough to leave him dusty and dirty in appearance.

  It was as if Yang Hao had already seen the look of Ye Yuan being burned to a charcoal head.

  But just as the fire dragon was several inches away from Ye Yuan's face, it suddenly started bouncing around.

  Yang Hao's face changed. This fire dragon seemed to be trying to break free from his shackling and became unsettled. Ever since his fire controlling technique had reached Large Success, he had yet to encounter this sort of situation.

  The Illuminating Fire was just the most common earth fire. It did not pose any difficulty to Yang Hao at all. How could a situation where it was breaking free of control appear?

  Could it be Ye Yuan causing mischief? But there weren't even the slightest bit of essence energy undulations from his body!

  Seeing ghosts! 1

  Yang Hao obviously would not leave the Illuminating Fire unchecked to break free from his control. He gritted his teeth and increased the essence energy to urge it. But it was like the Illuminating Fire was being stubborn with him as it refused to move even half a step forward no matter what.

  Yang Hao increased his strength again. Who knew that the seemingly clever move turned out to be a foolish one. With a whoosh, the Illuminating Fire actually scurried straight back towards Yang Hao!

  Yang Hao jumped in fright at this scene and hurriedly urged with his fire controlling seals again.

  The Illuminating Fire was only a very low-end flame after all. It was restricted by Yang Hao in a short while.

  Following that, he beckoned with his fingertip, and the Illuminating Fire went back inside the lantern.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  Ye Yuan applauded and praised, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang's fire controlling technique is truly transcendent! I, Junior Apprentice Brother, admire it greatly! It was a really close shave just now, nearly burning me. Luckily, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang showed mercy! However . . . caution is needed when playing with fire. Don't burn yourself, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang!"

  Yang Hao's face was deathly sullen. All those present were experts. It was clear at a glance whether he showed mercy just now or not.
