Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Within the deep and serene palace, it was void of people.

  Zhao Chenggan stood in the great hall but felt countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

  "This child, Zhao Chenggan, requests to meet Royal Father!" Zhao Chenggan forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and said.

  "What is it?" A voice came over serenely from the depths of the palace as if it sounded out from the underworld.

  "This child . . . child . . ." Zhao Chenggan kneeled onto the ground with a slam and said nervously, "This child deserves death! The matter with the Alchemist Association was caused by this child! I beg . . . beg Royal Father to mete out punishment!"

  There was no reply. Only Zhao Chenggan's breathing sound was left in the entire great hall . . .

  Chapter 401. Carrying a Rod and Asking for Punishmen |

  Zhao Chenggan's heart had never pounded so fiercely before!

  He felt like his own heart was about to explode!

  In the silence, every second felt like a year to Zhao Chenggan.

  "I already know." That cold voice sounded out again.

  Zhao Chenggan's entire body shuddered. Cold sweat already drenched his entire body. "Please mete out punishment, Father! I didn't think . . . didn't think . . ."

  "This was a test that this Emperor gave you. For you to be able to arrive here, you've already passed the test!"

  When Zhao Chenggan heard these words, he felt like his divine soul was about to leave his body. No words were more pleasant to the ears than these few words.

  As the Fierce Gale World's sole Boundless Realm powerhouse, even a fool knew the Wind Emperor's terror!

  But Zhao Chenggan was even more deeply aware that the Wind Emperor's terror was not just strength. This person himself was the most terrifying!

  "Thank you, Royal Father!" Zhao Chenggan said agitatedly.

  "Don't be in a rush to give thanks. This matter was incited by you. You think of a way to resolve it. Even I don't wish to provoke Old Man Star Abyss. You actually dare to yank his beard!"

  Although he sounded calm, Zhao Chenggan could hear the Wind Emperor's fury.

  "Yes. This child knows his mistake! Ro-Royal Father, please point out the right path!" Zhao Chenggan perspired heavily.

  "You . . . Go think about it yourself. This is also a test for you. Alright, take your leave." When the voice faded, there wasn't any sound in the great hall anymore.

  Coming out from the great hall, it was like Zhao Chenggan had experienced a life and death great battle. His entire person was like he was lugged out from the waters, utterly drenched.

  Returning to his residence, Zhao Chenggan secretly heaved a sigh in relief.

  Fortunately, he did not harbor any hopes of chance in his heart and admitted his fault to Royal Father. Or else, his outcome would surely be very tragic!

  The Wind Emperor had never had any consciousness of the saying 'a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs' towards his own sons. He also never had a compassionate heart.

  He caused such a major problem this time, and it was even at the critical juncture of the great army moving out. If this matter could not be settled nicely, he would still die very horribly.

  Thinking up to here, Zhao Chenggan could not help getting a headache.

  Just what should he do to make that old fellow, Star Abyss, rescind the sanctions on the royal family?

  These few days, Zhao Chenggan more or less understood Star Abyss's personality through many inquiries.

  This old man was normally still very amiable. But once you touched his reverse scale, his terror was that even the Wind Emperor could not withstand it!

  Very clearly, he had already touched his reverse scale!

  Zhao Chenggan's thought involuntarily turned to Ye Yuan. Could it be that he really had to apologize to that punk?

  But the moment he thought of Ye Yuan's haughty look, Zhao Chenggan shrunk back again.

  He felt that even if he went to apologize, Ye Yuan definitely would not accept it either!

  Just how should this be gone about doing?

  In a blink, an entire night passed.

  Zhao Chenggan sat there woodenly for a night without moving a single muscle!

  The skies were about to brighten when Zhao Chenggan suddenly clenched his fists and stood up all at once, seemingly like he made some sort of resolution.

  . . . . . .

  It was already daytime. The streams of people in the Central Capital's streets were bustling about. It was forever that busy.

  All of a sudden, everyone dropped whatever they were doing and turned to look towards a direction.

  Only to see a young man baring his upper body, carrying a bundle of thorns on his back, and walking forward step by step.

  This sort of thing that cut a wide swath was not frequently seen in the capital. It naturally drew the eyes of many people.

  "What's this person doing? What's he carrying a bundle of thorns on his back for? Is he sick? Those are Sawtooth Tree branches. The branches are covered in blades. Having it wrapped around the body, sinking into the flesh, is not much worse off than getting a thousand cuts!"

  "Shhh . . . Do you want to die? That is His Highness, the Seventh Prince! My God, who could make His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do such a thing to admit fault and ask for punishment? Doesn't he wish to live anymore?"

  "Heh heh, who knows about this kind thing? The Seventh Prince is the person most likely to inherit the great position of the Wind Emperor. The person able to make him do such a thing is bound to be extremely formidable! Looking at the direction he's walking in, it should be Qixia Mountain. Only that lord has the qualifications to make His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do this sort of thing like carrying a rod and asking for punishment."

  "You're saying . . . Sovereign Star Abyss? What did His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do? To actually provoke and enrage that lord?"

  "Hehe, that isn't what you and I can know."

  The people surrounding to watch were getting increasingly more. There was already an extremely large procession following behind Zhao Chenggan.

  But they all know the Seventh Prince's prowess. They just followed far away and did not dare to get too close.

  While Zhao Chenggan himself looked steadily ahead, walking in the direction of Qixia Mountain step by step.

  By the time he walked to the foot of the mountain, there was already a sea of people behind him; one would be unable to see the end with a glance.

  "Ji Qing, I, Seventh Prince Zhao Chenggan, came bearing a rod today to ask you for punishment!"

  Zhao Chenggan enunciated each word, and he actually directly kneeled down!

  His voice, Zhao Chenggan revolved essence energy fully. The entire Qixia Mountain should be able to hear it.

  Behind him, the crowd let out a huge hubbub.

  The exalted Seventh Prince, His Highness, actually kneeled down!

  "Who is Ji Qing? I've never heard that there was such a character in our Central Capital?!"

  "I haven't heard of him before as well. Doesn't Sovereign Star Abyss only have seven disciples? There doesn't seem to be Ji Qing this character, right?"

  "Ignorant and ill-informed. A few days ago, the Xiao Family and Tong Family organized the Grand Pill Assembly. Originally, the Xiao Family's defeat was already set. It was precisely this Ji Qing who turned the raging tides, defeating the Tong Family's number one genius, Tong Wenchang, saving the Xiao Family! Furthermore, this Ji Qing did not win by a narrow margin, but he crushed Tong Wenchang in an overwhelming manner until he could not even lift his head! I heard that he is already locked up by the Tong Family and completely became an invalid."

  "Ah? There was such a thing? I was just saying that recently, the Tong Family's shops increased anew again. Such a major incident actually happened! Like this, this Ji Qing is truly a character! Could it be . . ."

  "That's right. He's already taken in by Sovereign Star Abyss under his tutelage, becoming his eighth disciple!"

  "But . . . why is
His Highness, the Seventh Prince, doing such a thing to apologize to this Ji Qing?"

  "That I don't know! Tsk tsk, the dignified Wind Emperor successor actually suffered such an unprecedented shame. The days to come in the capital will probably be very fun."

  . . . . . .

  On top of Qixia Mountain, Shi Haoran looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "Little Junior Brother, this move from Master is really ruthless. It actually forced the arrogant Seventh Prince to this state!"

  Ye Yuan laughed and said, "He has nobody but himself to blame for it."

  Shi Haoran nodded, firmly agreeing.

  Ye Yuan had already explained the entire course of the incident to everyone. Making a move to kill somebody due to a single word of disagreement, only a person like the Seventh Prince could do it.

  Except, if he killed some people, then he killed them. But there were some people who were not those he could afford to offend.

  "Hur hur, this punk deserves it! But when are you planning on going down, Little Junior Brother?" asked the plump Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi with a laugh.

  Ye Yuan also laughed and said, "What's the hurry? Let him kneel for a while first. Let's discuss alchemy skills in depth first."

  Chapter 402. Losing One's Wife as Well as One's Soldiers |

  Time slowly trickled past. Zhao Chenggan's face became progressively darker.

  He had already kneeled for a full six hours!

  Qixia Mountain's gates were still tightly shut. There wasn't even a person who came out to say hello!

  He was the dignified seventh prince! Wasn't Qixia Mountain this group of people taking him too lightly?

  Zhao Chenggan really want to stomp off right now and then gather the Swift Wind Guards to come and slaughter all of these guys!

  But when he thought of the Wind Emperor's faint voice, a gust of cool air welled up from the bottom of his heart, instantly extinguishing all of the flames.

  Bearing the rod to come and ask for punishment was something that he made the painful decision to do after he thought for one night.

  Before coming, he already planned out well. No matter how much humiliation he suffered today, he had to push through it!

  Yet, when it really came down to it, he had no choice but to admit how great the difficulty was.

  "His Highness, the Seventh Prince, has already kneeled here for many hours. The skies are almost turning dark soon. I heard that the lord's personality is very nice. What on earth did he do to make that lord on Qixia Mountain become so enraged?"

  "Hehe, ignorant and ill-informed much? That lord's personality is pretty good, but once he truly becomes furious, even His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, has to make a concession!"

  "Oh? Is there still some story in between this?"

  That person briefly summarized the third prince's incident and said, "My guess is that Seventh Prince likely had a conflict with that person called Ji Qing and nearly killed him!"

  "There was actually such a thing?! If that's the case, then it all makes sense! Seventh Prince is famously tyrannical in the capital and frequently kills people because of some small issue. But this time, he kicked a metal plate!"

  "You can say that again!"

  . . . . . .

  There had never been a lack of meddlesome people in this world. No matter how long Zhao Chenggan kneeled there, they would crowd around to watch.

  After several hours passed, everyone pretty much guessed the entire sequence of events.

  Zhao Chenggan tried his best not to listen to these discussions. But the sounds of these comments still barged inside his ears ceaselessly, making it even more tormenting for him.

  If not because today's matter was of utmost importance, he would definitely explode and kill people!

  Right at this time, a 16 to 17-year-old azure shirt youth appeared in everyone's sight. It was precisely Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Zhao Chenggan, stretched his waist, and gave a yawn as he asked with a curious look, "Mm? Isn't this His Highness, the Seventh Prince? What are you doing here?"

  Zhao Chenggan forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and said solemnly, " This Zhao Chenggan specially came here to admit his fault and ask for punishment! Young Master Ji, please inflict punishment!"

  As he said, Zhao Chenggan pulled out a thorn from his back and delivered it before Ye Yuan with both hands.

  Ye Yuan received the thorn rather playfully and asked with a smile, "What fault does Your Highness have? Ji Qing doesn't quite get it. That day, didn't Your Highness say that those who oppose you are all already dead? I wonder how Your Highness can seek the forgiveness of a dead person?"

  "That day, it was this Little Prince who was momentarily muddled and offended Young Master Ji. So today, I specially came here to apologize and seek punishment!" Zhao Chenggan was long prepared for this and answered.

  "Oh, like this huh. Your Highness is unsurpassedly overbearing. I wonder if I'll die in the streets tomorrow after I forgive you today?" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

  Zhao Chenggan was secretly alarmed. He really had this thought!

  He was prepared to find a chance to finish Ye Yuan off after this matter blows over. Of course, he would not make a move himself.

  There were too many ways to kill people. Personally making a move to kill people was naturally the dumbest method; getting stench all over yourself for nothing.

  Who would have thought that his idea was seen through by Ye Yuan at a glance!

  "What is Young Master Ji talking about? This Little Prince really sees through his error. That's why I'm apologizing today with such a serious attitude about this matter. I was truly too reckless on that day. It will never happen again in the future!" Zhao Chenggan hurriedly said.

  "Oh? Is that so? I've just arrived here and don't really have any enemies in the capital yet. So, if anything happens to me in the future, this liability will be counted on Your Highness's head!"

  Zhao Chenggan was full of hatred in his heart!

  Who said that you did not have enemies? You just offended the entire Tong Family a couple of days back, alright?

  These words from Ye Yuan was clearly borrowing his influence to suppress the Tong Family. Furthermore, whoever Ye Yuan provoked in the capital later on, he even had to make an appearance to settle it.

  What the hell was this?!

  But at this critical juncture, Zhao Chenggan had to swallow it too even if his teeth were shattered!

  "That's of course! As long as anything happens of Young Master Ji in the capital, it can all be counted on my head! At that time, I'll apologize for my crime with death!" Zhao Chenggan clenched his teeth and said.

  Such a major incident, it was naturally impossible for those surrounding and watching to be ordinary martial artists. There were bound to be many people from large families and large influences among them.

  Him making such a promise in front of so many people was virtually pinning a death-exemption medallion on Ye Yuan!

  No matter how large these factions were, how many dared to oppose the Wind Emperor?

  Even if the seventh prince could not represent the Wind Emperor, and even if the seventh prince lost such a tremendous amount of face today, he was still the strongest among the princes, and also the person with the greatest likelihood of inheriting the position of Wind Emperor!

  Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said in a clear voice, "There are so many people here today. Everybody be a witness. This small life of mine is all in the hands of His Highness, the Seventh Prince! If one day, any mishap happens to me, Ji Qing, it cannot be free of relation with His Highness, the Seventh Prince!"

  Obviously, no one dared to really answer. But Ye Yuan did not need their response.

  His objective was already accomplished when Zhao Chenggan said these words.

  "Haha, looks like Your Highness is indeed 100% sincere. I, Ji Qing, naturally can't fail to appreciate kindness as well. Please return, Your Highness; this matter will end here," Ye Yuan said with a
smile.

  Zhao Chenggan said hesitatingly, "Young Master Ji, then . . . the medicinal pill matter."

  "Medicinal pill? What medicinal pill?" Ye Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

  Zhao Chenggan was fuming inwardly. He did not believe that Ye Yuan was unaware of the Alchemist Association's sanctions on the royal family. He was feigning ignorance right now!

  But, in front of so many people, he could not say it too obviously either. He was stifled until internal injuries were about to erupt.

  He originally thought that Ye Yuan would invite him in to talk. Who knew that Ye Yuan made him return right away?

  "Haha, n-nothing," Zhao Chenggan said embarrassedly.

  "Oh, nothing huh? Then I'll head back first, Your Highness. Seniors are still waiting for me to learn alchemy," Ye Yuan said with a beam as if he and Zhao Chenggan were friends.

  "Ah? H-Haha, go ahead, go ahead."

  Zhao Chenggan did not know if this was considered completing the mission either; he also did not know what Ye Yuan planned on doing. His heart was still palpitating with uneasiness.

  If Star Abyss did not withdraw the sanctions, it would still be hard for him to escape death!

  . . . . . .

  After returning to the mountain, the group of seniors gave a round of fierce praises to Ye Yuan.

  "Hur hur, Little Junior Brother isn't old, but you're extremely adept in handling things! I think after that Zhao Chenggan goes back, he'll also have no appetite for food and drinks these two days!" Shi Haoran said with a big laugh.

  "Yeah. That Zhao Chenggan is used to being rampant and domineering. Today, he lost face all the way home and even had to gift Little Junior Brother a death-exemption medallion! It's truly losing one's wife as well as one's soldiers!" You Guang said.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not at all. This matter is still ultimately Master's sanctions that's impressive!"

  Chapter 403. Divine Art That Made People Depressed |

  "Hehe, it's true that Master's sanctions are formidable, but the way Little Junior Brother dealt with things magnified the battle results to the extreme! Not only did it eliminate the hidden danger of the Tong Family, it even supplemented a death-exemption medallion for yourself! Truly impressive!" Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi said with a laugh.
