Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Their soul force was completely locked onto the medicinal pill, and they did not dare to slacken the slightest bit.

  However, this did not have any d*mn use!

  Another series of puffing sounds went on. A furnace of useless pills was refined out.

  When that person came to one side and saw Ye Yuan's Cheshire cat smile, he wished that he could go up and rend his face.

  But their attention was very swiftly drawn over by the other two people.

  The two people's foreheads were already drenched in sweat. Clearly, the difficulty of this medicinal pill was already on the verge of surpassing their limits.

  Before long, another person failed. Only one person was left still persevering.

  The three people who were defeated had their eyes glued on the last person, hoping that he could succeed.

  Because from their peripherals, they already saw the expression on Ye Yuan's face.

  Earlier, each and every one of them looked down on Ye Yuan, thinking that they would definitely be the one who won. But now, there was only one final seedling left on the field.

  Manager Tong was also very nervous. In the blink of an eye, the four people who were carefully chosen only had one left. This unwittingly made him feel tremendous pressure.

  Fortunately, the strength of this remaining one was still considered decent. He actually already barely managed to finish refining the medicinal pill!

  "Condense!"

  Following his cry, everyone's heart tightened. Did it succeed or not?

  Chapter 367. Work like a Horse |

  When the medicinal pill formed, everyone heaved a sigh in relief.

  Even the always composed Manager Tong also secretly wiped his sweat at this time.

  The other three people came forward as well, wanting to see what kind of medicinal pill was refined.

  "Qiu Zhi, how is it? Succeeded?" the three people asked, rather nervously.

  Qiu Zhi wiped away the sweat on his forehead and nodded, saying, "I'm exhausted to death! Finally I formed the pill!"

  Talking up to here, Qiu Zhi looked at Ye Yuan with a proud grin and said, "I said that you won't have the chance, means you won't have the chance! Well? Can you get lost now?"

  Ye Yuan was delighted when he heard that. "Isn't the furnace not opened yet? Come, open it and have a look. See what kind of crap you refined."

  Qiu Zhi's face darkened. He finished extremely forcefully earlier. He knew that the grade of the medicinal pill was definitely not high.

  But in front of so many people, he naturally had no reason to fear.

  "Have a look then! I'll let you give up after this!"

  As he said, the medicinal cauldron opened. Fragrance suffused all around.

  The four people reached their heads over to take a look. Even Manager Tong could not resist moving closer to have a look too.

  With this look, Qiu Zhi's face could not be preserved anymore.

  The medicinal pill was refined. But it was simply a defect good; unable to even enter the ranks.

  Qiu Zhi said to Manager Tong with a bitter face, "Manager Tong, you take a look . . ."

  Manager Tong was quite disappointed as well. But he also knew how great the difficulty this pill refinement was. Qiu Zhi being able to refine successfully was already fairly decent.

  Manager Tong sighed and said, "There's already no more time. It's you then."

  Qiu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that. Being able to join the Xiao Family, he no longer needed to worry for the rest of his life.

  One had to know that alchemist was a profitable career but also a money-burning career. Without the support of a major faction behind, it was very hard to have improvements.

  Qiu Zhi being able to cultivate to High-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster Realm was already his limit. Any further, and he must find a backer. Otherwise, it would be like this for this life.

  "Hold on!" Right at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded.

  Xiao Ruyan spoke!

  The gauze curtains were pulled aside. A veil-covered girl walked out from behind the partition.

  Although there was a fine gauze covering the face, it could not conceal that lithe and graceful figure of hers, swaying until the four people were entranced.

  The four guys did not dare to slight her. They hastily gave a bow and said, "We pay respects to Miss Ruyan!"

  Xiao Ruyan nodded her head lightly, but said, "You all are also aware that the Grand Pill Assembly this time is of utmost importance to my Xiao Family. Qiu Zhi, although you refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, it's only a defect good, not even entering the ranks. While your strength is not bad, you can't win the Tong Family."

  Xiao Ruyan was clearly also slightly melancholic in her words.

  In truth, this sort of method like finding guest retainers from outside was a choice that could not be helped. The powerful alchemists were long divided up by the various large factions. The remaining ones were those who were rejected.

  These four people in front of her were considered passable among those who failed to meet the mark.

  Qiu Zhi was thunderstruck when he heard this. He said with a face full of indignation, "But just now, Manager Tong clearly said that we just have to succeed in the refinement and that will do! How can you all renege on your word?"

  "Snort!"

  A discordant snicker interrupted Qiu Zhi's words. It was precisely Ye Yuan.

  Qiu Zhi had anger that he dare not flare towards Xiao Ruyan. But it did not mean that he dare not turn it towards Ye Yuan. He immediately said furiously, "What are you laughing about, stinking brat?"

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Sorry, I couldn't hold it. If this is also considered as a successful refinement, then aren't alchemists too easy to become?"

  "Humph! Making sarcastic remarks when you can't understand the difficulty! You come and refine then if you have the capabilities! Weren't you saying that you could refine very arrogantly just now? Why don't you refine one for me to see?!" Qiu Zhi said with a cold smile.

  Xiao Ruyan's mind was currently in a whirl. These two people's endless bickering made her even more displeased, and she could not help saying, "Stop arguing! Although his soul force is not bad, wanting to refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is basically an impossible thing. The few of you leave first. I need some peace and quiet!"

  When these words were said, Ye Yuan was piqued. "Why is Miss Ruyan the same as these uncultured people, judging people by their outward appearance?"

  When these words came out, everyone perspired profusely.

  Xiao Ruyan was uncultured? Wasn't this brat's gall too fat?

  Indeed, Xiao Ruyan was so furious that her entire body was trembling. She was just about to blow her top when she heard Ye Yuan curl his mouth and say, "Isn't it just Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill? Give me 15 minutes. I'll refine for you to see."

  Xiao Ruyan sucked in a deep breath to calm her emotions. But her tone became cold. "What a high-sounding sentiment! 15 minutes to refine a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill? Do you think that you're an Alchemy King? Fine. I'll let you try it. If you can't refine it . . ."

  "If I can't refine it, I'll sign my life away to work like a horse for Miss Ruyan for the rest of my life. How's that?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.

  Xiao Ruyan's pretty face went red. Luckily, there was the fine gauze blocking her face. But when she saw that Ye Yuan's smile did not have lecherous intent, she knew that she misunderstood.

  As one of the two beauties in the capital, there were too many men pursuing Xiao Ruyan. Even if she did not wish to, she still had immense skill in the aspect of examining a man's words and observing his countenance.

  "What do I want you to work like a horse for? If you can't refine it, then help our Xiao Family refine medicinal pills for life!" Xiao Ruyan said.

  Hearing these words, the four people all took pleasure in his misfortune.

  They knew deeply from experience the refining difficulty of this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill. This punk only h
ad a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force. It was still uncertain if he could refine pills or not. It was essentially impossible to refine it.

  He was going to be a pill slave for the rest of his life for sure!

  Not everyone was Xiao Ruyan!

  Xiao Ruyan being able to reach such a realm was because her talent was good. More importantly, she had the powerful Xiao Family supporting her from behind.

  Look at what this punk was wearing. One look and they could tell that he came from the countryside. What kind of background could he have?

  At most, his natural talent was a little better, and his cultivation was a little quicker.

  "Refining a lifetime of medicinal pills. That's also a blissful thing. Except . . . I still have other things I need to do," Ye Yuan said with a rather emotional sigh.

  Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan's lifelong aspiration was to refine medicinal pills for life. But the god of destiny makes fools out of people. Now that he had transmigrated, he had no choice but to pursue the paramount of Martial Path to avenge his old hatred.

  Xiao Ruyan could not help being very puzzled when she saw Ye Yuan's somewhat desolate eyes. How old was this young man? Why did it seem like he had experienced countless vicissitudes of life?

  But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, Xiao Ruyan refused to believe it no matter what.

  It was true that this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill was a Tier 3 high-rank medicinal pill, but barely any Alchemy Grandmasters could refine it.

  Even her own success rate was just 50%. This youth looked like he was even a few years younger than her. How could he possibly succeed?

  Xiao Ruyan merely had a momentary burst of anger just now. For this youth to have middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force, his potential was limitless.

  No matter what, the Xiao Family had to retain him. Perhaps in the not too distant future, an extremely powerful Alchemy Grandmaster might appear in the Xiao Family.

  "Enough crap. We're still waiting to see how you refine the pill. Our skills are lacking, so we need to learn well!" Qiu Zhi said sarcastically.

  Chapter 368. This Is Flaunting Skill |

  Xiao Ruyan furrowed her eyebrows but did not say anything.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "One needs comprehension abilities to learn things. Your talent is too poor; you can't learn anything."

  Qiu Zhi's face darkened. "Smile; I hope that you can still smile in a while! When you can't refine it, just wait to be a pill slave for the rest of your life then!"

  Ye Yuan could not be inclined to bother with him. He went to the medicinal cauldron's side.

  Instantaneously, the aura on Ye Yuan's body changed abruptly!

  Earlier, there was still some profligate juvenile aura. But now, it was as deep as the sea, as if everything in the outside world no longer had anything to do with him.

  Clearly not standing far from him, but it seemed to be two different worlds!

  Xiao Ruyan's expression involuntarily changed and immediately put away her belittling heart.

  When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance! Xiao Ruyan touched her heart and asked herself when she refined pills, she could not reach Ye Yuan's degree of focus either!

  Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not carry out meditation but directly refined the pill. Such ability, among ten thousand alchemists, there might not even necessarily be one.

  Xiao Ruyan waved her hand to motion for everyone to move back and not disturb Ye Yuan's pill refinement.

  Ye Yuan grabbed with one hand. A bundle of flames flew up from the bottom of the furnace, enveloping the entire medicinal cauldron!

  Immediately after, he formed seals with both hands. The temperature of the flames was rapidly rising.

  "Tch! Pretending to be profound! This level of fire controlling skill is also just a little nice to look at only," Qiu Zhi said disdainfully.

  "Yeah. Just showing off his skill. Pleasant to the eyes but of no use at all!" Another person concurred.

  They naturally would not remember that, as a matter of fact, they were also showing off their skills earlier. It was just that they did not parade for long before they could not sustain it anymore.

  And Ye Yuan was already very restrained currently. If he really showed off his skills, even he would be frightened.

  "Keep your mouth shut if you don't understand! Use your soul force to take a look. The surrounding temperature around the medicinal cauldron is all exactly the same. This lets the medicinal pill receive heat extremely uniform! When refining a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, the most important thing is uniform heating!"

  When Xiao Ruyan spoke up, the rest naturally shut their mouths sensibly.

  And Xiao Ruyan herself was also extremely surprised. Could it be that this Ji Qing had refined Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pills before? Otherwise, how could he possibly know this crucial aspect?

  Was it just a coincidence?

  As they were talking, Ye Yuan already completed the heating. Gesturing with one hand, the medicinal embryo flew into the medicinal cauldron.

  Next, the dazzling display of technique that made everyone feel dizzy officially began!

  One seal after another was fired into the medicinal cauldron non-stop. Ye Yuan's hands were like phantoms, intoxicating the people watching it.

  Even Qiu Zhi and the others who had been displeased with Ye Yuan all along was also spell bounded by Ye Yuan for a moment and kept their mouths shut.

  This was still Ye Yuan not wishing to be overly conspicuous, so he did not enter the Legendary Realm. Or else, it would not be as simple as flaunting his technique.

  15 minutes passed in a flash. Only to see Ye Yuan lightly cry out, "condense."

  The pill was formed!

  Only at this time did everyone feel as if they woke up from a dream.

  Manager Tong's strength was the greatest and recovered from his stupor first. He murmured under his breath, "This is a genuinely a pompous display of one's skill!"

  Qiu Zhi and the rest also recovered and could not help flushing crimson red.

  Apart from Ye Yuan's realm being inferior to theirs, his other aspects were way stronger than them!

  Ye Yuan sniggered and said, "Just nice, around 15 minutes! Inspect the pill then, Miss Ruyan!"

  Xiao Ruyan took in a deep breath and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. She was astonished.

  "This is a Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pill. You're actually not the least bit debilitated after finish refining it?"

  When Xiao Ruyan herself refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, every time she finished the refinement, it would be a little more than she could stand. Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was perfectly fine!

  Xiao Ruyan sensed it very clearly just now. Ye Yuan had only just broken through to the middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!

  Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Still alright. As long as the control is a little more precise, you don't need to expend so much soul force."

  Everyone felt depressed. How precise did one's control have to be to be able to expend so little soul force!

  Earlier, when he finished the refinement, Qiu Zhi felt like he was on the verge of collapsing. He was a veteran high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, and it was more than he could bear. Ye Yuan, a newly advanced middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, could actually do it to such an extent?

  A little more precise? How much was this little more?

  Qiu Zhi felt like he had no more face to stay on. But he was still rather unwilling to give up. He wanted to see if Ye Yuan really refined out a medicinal pill.

  Qiu Zhi plucked up his courage and opened his mouth, "Who knows if you're deliberately kicking up a cloud of dust? Or maybe, you wasted the pill long ago!"

  Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I knew that you wouldn't turn back without hitting the South Wall."

  "Open!"

  Ye Yuan pointed a finger. A medicinal pill flew out of the medicinal cauldron on its own and landed on the jade dish
.

  Everyone rushed to look at that medicinal pill. With a single look, it caused them to involuntarily drew a cold breath.

  "H-High-grade medicinal pill!" Qiu Zhi could hardly believe it.

  Xiao Ruyan's beautiful eyes also became intent, and she stared at Ye Yuan rather incredulously.

  She could refine out a high-grade Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, but the success rate was too low. Majority of the time, it was all middle-grade. When she performed below her usual standards, it would be low-grade pills.

  She never thought that this young man's first refinement was actually directly a high-grade medicinal pill.

  "You . . . You must have cheated!" Qiu Zhi pointed at Ye Yuan and said.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop disgracing yourself here. Quickly get lost! Entering the Grand Pill Assembly with this standard of yours is no longer a matter of losing. It's directly throwing away all faces of the Xiao Family members!"

  Xiao Ruyan's patience was utterly worn out too. She said sombrely, "Scram for me! Lacking strength and still reproaching others! So many pairs of eyes were looking. Pray tell then, how did he cheat?"

  Qiu Zhi was so furious that his complexion turned green. He said with a cold snort, "Go, then go! This place doesn't want to keep this Lord, there will naturally be a place to hold this Lord! Harrumph!"

  Finished talking, Qiu Zhi flicked his sleeves and left.

  Manager Tong's face fell, but he looked towards Xiao Ruyan, clearly seeking her opinion on whether to take care of this fellow or not.

  He only dropped it when he saw Xiao Ruyan shake her head slightly.

  Only after Qiu Zhi and the other three people left, Manager Tong asked, "Those few people were so high and mighty. Why did Miss let them leave?"

  Xiao Ruyan let out a sigh and said, "If it were in the past, how could I tolerate them being so arrogant? How could they dare to be stuck-up in front of me? It's just that they were publicly recruited by us. If a mishap happened to them in our place here, it would be even harder for this Four Seas Building to sustain."

  Manager Tong also sighed faintly when he heard that and did not say any more.
