Unrivaled Medicine God

  Mo Yuntian involuntarily shook his head when he heard that and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is really an extraordinary person. He did something like robbing points right after entering the sect. But those fellows also deserved it. It's just . . . Master finally squeezed some time out today and wanted to summon Ye Yuan. Didn't think that he entered a retreat instead. I'm afraid . . ."

  "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo is worried about the Ouyang Family?" Nanfeng Ruoqing clearly knew the inside information and followed up.

  Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "That's right. With the Ouyang Family's influence, the news of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye entering the sect definitely can't be concealed. They have most likely been waiting for this day for a long time. Originally, Master wanted to see Ye Yuan first to think of a countermeasure after understanding the situation. After five days . . . probably won't make it."

  "Then . . . Then what to do?" Lu-er asked worriedly.

  Mo Yuntian remained silent.

  Right then, another voice sounded from outside the door.

  "Sect decree is here! Ye Yuan, receive the decree!"

  Everyone's brows knitted together, thinking to themselves that it came so quickly!

  The group went out and saw a youth around the same age as Mo Yuntian with an imposing manner.

  "Xin Lie, you guys really can't wait!" Mo Yuntian said coolly, his words carrying derision.

  "Mo Yuntian, you don't have to be so sarcastic! This sect decree is also not issued by me. I'm only here under orders! Ask Ye Yuan to come out! The sect commands Ye Yuan to immediately leave for the main peak to undergo the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing!" Xin Lie said icily.

  Mo Yuntian's complexion changed, but he said, "You came one step late. Ye Yuan has already entered the cultivation room. He will only exit seclusion five days later."

  Xin Lie was confused when he heard that. Wasn't that Ye Yuan a newcomer? Why would he have points to enter the cultivation rooms?

  Could it be that he entered the D-grade cultivation rooms in order to hide from the sect decree?

  However, one may get off today, but not tomorrow. He had to receive this sect decree eventually!

  Furthermore, didn't the more he try to hide, the more it showed his guilt? Seemed like the matter of this boy stealing pill formulas was almost certainly true.

  "Since that's the case, goodbye!

  Finishing, Xin Lie left without even turning back.

  "Who was that person? What a powerful air!" Long Tang asked.

  "He's from the Disciplinary Hall, the Hall Head's direct disciple, Xin Lie. His cultivation is not beneath mine! This Xin Lie is also someone who cleared the Nine Heavens Road!" Mo Yuntian said.

  "No wonder he was so powerful! It's just, he left just like that?"

  Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "The sect decree is personally issued by the sect master. The command is extremely powerful and must be passed onto Ye Yuan! And after Ye Yuan receives the sect decree, he must carry it out right away! Since Xin Lie knows that Ye Yuan went to the cultivation rooms, he'll surely search there first. After confirming it, he will return to report it and go back to the cultivation rooms to wait for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion!"

  "Ah? Doesn't that mean that we won't even get to see Ye Yuan?" Nanfeng Ruoqing said worriedly.

  Mo Yuntian nodded and did not say anything.

  "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, what's the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing that Xin Lie was talking about?" Long Tang asked.

  "Apart from the Martial Hall and Pill Hall, the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has an independent Disciplinary Hall. The Tri-Hall Joint Hearing is combining these three halls together to commence a ruling towards Ye Yuan's actions! If the ruling is guilty . . ."

  Mo Yuntian did not continue talking. Everyone could guess the result.

  "Then doesn't that mean that us coming to the sect is like sheep entering a tiger's jaws?" Lu-er's words were rather direct when talking due to concern towards her master.

  Nanfeng Ruoqing hurriedly pulled Lu-er. Now was clearly not the time to be saying this.

  Mo Yuntian was the only person who could save Ye Yuan now. If they offended him too, Ye Yuan was dead for sure.

  However, Mo Yuntian did not mind it. Instead, he smiled at Lu-er and said, "Miss Lu-er need not worry. Ye Yuan is Ancestor Lu Yan's successor. The person Master holds the most respect for in this life is Ancestor Lu Yan. Whatever happens, Master will also defend Ye Yuan strongly! Moreover, how the final ruling is to be passed is still up to the sect master."

  With Mo Yuntian saying this, everyone also felt much more reassured. But the atmosphere was still very stifling.

  . . . . . .

  Ye Yuan remained completely focused on impacting the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in full force inside the A-grade cultivation room!

  Although the spirit liquid drops condensed in each minor realm during the Spirit Condensation Realm was the same, the difficulty was different.

  This was like filling a container with water. At the start, the container was empty, wanting to fill it was naturally very easy.

  But as more and more water goes in, the difficulty of storing more would increase.

  The essence energy spirit liquid in the Dantian merely looked like a few drops, but it was already in a saturated state.

  Wanting to break through to the next realm, one had to compress the spirit liquid once more to make space for the spirit liquid condensed in the future.

  Therefore, the further down Spirit Condensation Realm one went, the difficulty of breakthrough would rise exponentially.

  In comparison, Ye Yuan's difficulty of breaking through was much greater than the average Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.

  Because he condensed the perfect nine drops of spirit liquid!

  Compressing one spirit liquid drop and compressing nine spirit liquid drops, the difference in difficulty was not as simple as nine times.

  Luckily, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was overbearing enough, Ye Yuan's experience was sufficiently abundant, and along with the assistance from the transcendent-grade medicinal pill, these challenges were not a problem to Ye Yuan.

  Four days after Ye Yuan entered the cultivation room, an essence energy storm formed once again!

  Chapter 223. The Divine Text Reappears! |

  Dai Zichen was already infinitely close to half-step Crystal Formation Realm. He entered a closed-seclusion this time because he planned on consolidating his realm even further so as to breakthrough to half-step Crystal Formation Realm.

  Currently, Dai Zichen's condition was very good. He felt that he could roughly break through cultivation realms after another one or two attempts!

  "En? What's the matter? Why did the essence energy in the cultivation room become weaker?"

  Dai Zichen who was in a cultivation state the whole time was suddenly startled awake by this situation which occurred suddenly.

  Shutting his eyes to sense things, Dai Zichen discovered that the essence energy in his cultivation room was weakening rapidly as if it was being plundered by something!

  "Damn it! Damn it! Right when my training reached its critical point. Why did something happen to the cultivation room? This sort of situation has never happened before!" Dai Zichen was very annoyed.

  His training just now had just reached the critical point, with some signs of an imminent break through.

  Dai Zichen knew that once these signs appeared a few more times, he should be able to break through successfully!

  But such an abstruse state was forcefully interrupted. It could be seen just how depressed he was. He could not understand just why this kind of situation would occur in a perfectly fine cultivation room?

  Under the current situation, Dai Zichen evidently could not continue cultivating anymore.

  That sort of mysterious state was not something that could be entered every time. Once the state was interrupted, wanting to find it again was as hard as ascending to heaven.

  Fortunately, peop
le who exited seclusion in advance can refund the unused points. At least it was not wasted.

  Dai Zichen walked out of his cultivation room dejectedly. When he arrived at the hall, he discovered that this place was already in a mess.

  "What are you doing? I already found the feeling of breaking through just now. Why did the essence energy suddenly disappear? Points is a small matter, but who will compensate for my condition?" exclaimed an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciple.

  Hearing these words, Dai Zichen's mood instantly became much better. Indeed, it was much nicer to have others sharing in the suffering!

  However, he also felt miserable at the same time.

  He thought that it was his cultivation room which encountered issues. Looking at it now, it was far from him alone!

  There were many people shouting and clamoring in the hall. They were clearly complaining about the essence energy which suddenly vanished.

  Just what on earth happened? This kind of situation had never occurred in the cultivation rooms before!

  Dai Zichen suddenly cast a glance sideways. His expression could not help changing when he saw a person. He went up to greet. "I've seen Senior Apprentice Brother Xin. Why is Senior Apprentice Brother Xin here? Could it be due to the issue of the cultivation room's essence energy vanishing?"

  This person was precisely Xin Lie who was waiting for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.

  However, he did not manage to wait for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion, but he waited until problems arose with the cultivation rooms' essence energy.

  Xin Lie replied lightly, "No. I'm waiting for somebody here."

  Although Dai Zichen was not an elite disciple, his status in the sect was still very high. Xin Lie evidently recognized him too. If it were some other person, Xin Lie would not even be inclined to answer.

  However, his words made Dai Zichen become more doubtful. What kind of person could afford to have Senior Apprentice Brother Xin personally wait at the cultivation rooms?

  Presently, the disciple on duty was already covered in sweat. He had never encountered this sort of outbreak situation.

  "Everybody, senior apprentice brothers, don't panic! I've already reported the problem here upstairs. Elder Peng is currently rushing over. Ah, Elder Peng, you're finally here!" When that disciple on duty saw Elder Peng, he immediately behaved as if he had suffered greatly.

  Elder Peng saw all the disciples flooding this place until even water could not flow. He frowned and said, "What do you all think you're doing, kicking up such a fuss! All get lost outside for me and wait there! If anyone dares to cause a disturbance, they will be barred from using the cultivation rooms for a month!"

  With Elder Peng blowing his top, everyone immediately lowered their banners and muffled their drums, and scrammed outside meekly.

  Nobody wished to delay a month of cultivation time!

  After everyone left, there were only Xin Lie and several top character core disciples left in the hall. They went up to pay respects to Elder Peng.

  Elder Peng could not help being involuntarily stunned when he saw Xin Lie. But he did not say anything. Instead, he asked the disciple on duty, "What in the world happened? Explain in detail."

  "Replying Elder Peng, 15 minutes ago, the cultivations rooms were all fine. But no idea why, all the essence energy in the cultivation rooms suddenly started to disappear rapidly, like they were being emptied out," the disciple on duty replied.

  Elder Peng mused for a minute, clearly thinking about the various possibilities for this kind of situation to occur.

  "I'll go take a look at the Spirit Gathering Formation," Elder Peng said.

  Elder Peng's name was Peng Liming, a Tier 4 array master in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. His Array Dao cultivation was very incredible.

  The Spirit Gathering Formations inside the cultivation rooms was a mid-sized array. It relied on the sect's grand array. The formations in the cultivation rooms would siphon a portion of the heaven and earth essence energy absorbed by the sect's grand array. Then, it will send it to every cultivation room through the array formations.

  This array formation had someone maintaining it all year round, and there had never been problems that occurred. Today's circumstances were truly quite unexpected.

  Elder Peng inspected the array formation carefully and said in bewilderment, "There's nothing wrong with the array pivot. The grand array itself is also fine. Could the problems have occurred over at the cultivation rooms?"

  Elder Peng went to the relevant array formations for controlling the cultivation rooms and inspected it carefully.

  This inspection immediately revealed that something was wrong.

  "En? So this is it! All the essence energy are actually heading into one cultivation room! It's just that . . . who has such great capabilities to actually be able to plunder so much essence energy?" Peng Liming became doubtful again.

  Returning to the hall, Peng Liming asked the disciple on duty, "Who's using the A-grade cultivation room, No. 43?"

  "Uh, it's a disciple called Ye Yuan," the disciple on duty revealed.

  Not that the disciple on duty was very responsible to remember the cultivation rooms for every disciple, but because he had a very strong impression of Ye Yuan. Hence, he reported it right away.

  Elder Peng had no special feelings when he said that, but Xin Lie's and Dai Zichen's expression changed.

  "Oh, that so? I want to see just what kind of deity this Ye Yuan is, to actually have such capabilities to absorb so much heaven and earth essence energy!" A thick curiosity welled up in Peng Liming.

  . . . . . .

  Causing such an incident was naturally unintentional on Ye Yuan's part.

  In reality, he also did not imagine that his breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm would actually need to absorb so much heaven and earth essence energy!

  The initial breakthrough was very normal and also under Ye Yuan's control.

  But when he broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and stepped into the Middle Stage Spirit Condensation Realm, that sort of feeling like the divine soul was rent asunder appeared once again!

  Every breakthrough in a minor stage, there would also be a minor transformation for the divine soul. It was just that the pain during Ye Yuan's transformation process was far more agonizing compared to ordinary martial artists.

  However, the torment this time was still far from comparable to when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

  Ye Yuan no longer wished to recall that feeling.

  As expected, the golden characters in his sea of consciousness emerged once more, like that time when he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Once the divine text appeared, they began to absorb heaven and earth essence energy frenziedly!

  Luckily, the cultivation room was pretty capable and could provide essence energy unceasingly.

  After a long while, the cultivation room finally became peaceful again, and Ye Yuan also successfully broke through to Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Chapter 224. Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! High-rank Alchemy Master! |

  Examining his soul force, Ye Yuan was overjoyed.

  Indeed, this kind of soul-rending pain was not all for naught. His current soul force actually broke through to the high-rank Alchemy Master standard already!

  Furthermore, Ye Yuan could sense that his soul force seemed to be that teensy bit stronger than ordinary high-rank Alchemy Masters!

  The divine text was really unexpectedly powerful!

  Ever since acquiring these golden characters, Ye Yuan would frequently undergo visualization in his sea of consciousness. But this one month plus, there was no progress at all.

  No wonder his father, Ji Zhengyang said that he only had some superficial knowledge.

  Too hard!

  Each character, every stroke, all encompassed the maxim of the Great Dao. Even though Ye Yuan once stood at the pinnacle of
the Martial Dao, it was also difficult to see its entirety.

  However, these golden characters seemed to have a life of its own. Every time Ye Yuan broke through, they could come out by themselves and assist Ye Yuan's soul transformation!

  No matter what, this was a good thing for Ye Yuan!

  The present Ye Yuan was only middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm, but already had the soul force of a high-rank Alchemy Master. This was plenty for him to do many things!

  Such as, refining Tier 3 medicinal pills!

  Of course, to Ye Yuan, high-grade Tier 3 medicinal pills were still beyond his power. But low-grade Tier 3 medicinal pills were no longer something challenging to Ye Yuan!

  Yuan Fei had helped out quite a bit ever since following him. He even fought with a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. It was time for some repayment.

  "Uh, already five days. The Ouyang Family is most likely panicking from waiting, right? I'll go and meet this Ouyang Family!"

  Ye Yuan was so confident not because he broke through in Spirit Condensation Realm, but because it stemmed from his tremendous Alchemy Path strength!

  . . . . . .

  "Ye Yuan!' Dai Zichen who noticed Ye Yuan first called out.

  With his call, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.

  Everyone here had different thoughts, but they were all waiting quietly for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.

  "En? You . . . You actually broke through to Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Only used five days!" After Ye Yuan walked out, Dai Zichen's pupils involuntarily constricted as he exclaimed in shock.

  "Isn't entering a retreat to breakthrough realms a very normal thing? What's there to make a fuss about?" Peng Liming said crossly.

  Dai Zichen smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Peng doesn't understand. Ye Yuan was only Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm before entering seclusion! Five days time and he broke through two realms consecutively!"

  "What? What did you say? Breaking through two realms consecutively in five days? What kind of joke is this?" It was now Peng Liming's turn to be alarmed.

  The Spirit Condensation Realm was not like the Essence Qi Realm. Even the top disciples in the sect would require several months before they could breakthrough a realm!
