Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

"T-Ten? That's a thousand high-grade essence crystals!"

  Ling-er's brain was a little short-circuited. She had seen before alchemists who spent money just for the sake of taking a look at the seventh level's problems. But she had never encountered a customer who opened their mouths to ask for ten tags right away.

  Wasn't such a way of burning money too profligate?

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The essence crystals in this storage ring when added up should be around one thousand high-grade essence crystals. You can do an inventory check."

  Ling-er inserted her divine sense into it and briefly did a count. Indeed, it was a thousand high-grade essence crystals.

  Ling-er could not help drawing a cold breath and thought to herself: Extravagant. This was really extravagant.

  Earning a thousand high-grade essence crystals in one go, the commission today was not small. Ling-er gloated to herself endlessly in her heart too.

  Ling-er beamed widely and said, "Sir indeed carries yourself in an imposing manner. Come over here first to register your alchemist badge, then you can choose the tags."

  Ye Yuan nodded and followed Ling-er to one side to register.

  When she saw Ye Yuan take out the high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King badge, Ling-er expression could not help becoming stiff once more.

  Such a young high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King?

  Ye Yuan finished registering, and he seemed to have thought of something. He said to Ling-er with a smile, "Oh, right, forgot to tell you. Hurry up and notify the Exquisite Jade Pavilion's manager to let him prepare a bit more essence crystals. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you all won't have enough to pay in a while."

  Chapter 507. Does This Old Man Have the Qualifications? |

  Ling-er gave Ye Yuan a strange look with her eyes. Now, she finally confirmed that this person was a moron.

  Or perhaps, this Ye Yuan was an impetuous person who did not understand the other person's meaning!

  On the seventh level, over half were questions left behind for a thousand years.

  The other half questions were also left by some top alchemy path powerhouses within a thousand years.

  Without having peak Alchemy Sovereign strength and realm, it was simply impossible to resolve!

  This boy in front was merely 16 or 17 years of age. Putting aside resolving it, whether he could understand them or not was also an issue.

  Prepare essence crystals?

  You have got to be kidding!

  These one thousand high-grade essence crystals, Big Sister will accept it in your place!

  All of a sudden, the expression of the staff responsible for registration changed and gave Ling-er a look.

  Ling-er understood and moved closer.

  "You look, this boy and that old fellow are from the same sect!"

  Skymaple's matters had just died down. The Exquisite Jade Pavilion was very sensitive to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, these three words. Hence, that staff noticed something wrong right away.

  When Ling-er checked, Ye Yuan's background was indeed the Tranquil Cloud Sect.

  With this, Ling-er was even more filled with disdain in her heart. Even the Alchemy King was taken care of, what could a Sea Transformation Realm brat do?

  Ling-er shot that staff a look. The staff understood and left. But Ling-er herself came in front of Ye Yuan in all smiles.

  "I wonder which tags sir is going to choose? There are a total of 136 tags on the seventh level, from No.1 to No.136. No.1 is the question left on the Thousand Query Wall for the longest time, and also the question universally acknowledged to have the greatest difficulty. The most recent one is No.136. It's already five years since then and was issued by the Alchemist Association's Chairman, Lord Dan Chenzi. The reward is 1500 high-grade essence crystals!" Ling-er explained to Ye Yuan with a smile.

  Ling-er's and that staff's behaviors, Ye Yuan noticed it all. But Ye Yuan pretended to not know.

  "Like that huh? Doesn't that mean that the tags closer to the front, the greater the reward money?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

  "That's how it is! The reward for the No.1 tag has already reached a sum of 5 million high-grade essence crystals to this date! This is an astronomical figure to martial artists! It's just . . . the No.1 tag has already been there for several thousand years, but nobody could crack it all these while," Ling-er said smilingly.

  Ling-er was incredibly disdainful in her heart. It was really a toad lusting after a swan's meat!

  Since ancient times, how many major powers wished to crack the problem in the No.1 tag. Among them, there was no shortage of some major powers who ascended to the Divine Realm.

  But up until today, the No.1 tag still was on the rack quietly.

  How could wanting to crack the No.1 tag be that easy?

  Ye Yuan nodded slightly when he heard and said, "Then give me tags No.126 to No.136 first. I'll solve them for fun first."

  For fun?

  Hehe, don't snivel in a while!

  Brat still wet behind your years, to actually dare run to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to act wildly!

  These one thousand high-grade essence crystals are probably not a small sum to your sect as well, right?

  Ling-er started gloating at others' misfortune inwardly.

  Ever since she knew Ye Yuan's identity, Ling-er was unwilling to give even the tiniest bit of favorable impression towards Ye Yuan.

  Before long, there was a staff who took down the last ten tags from the seventh rack and presented it before Ye Yuan.

  And this action caused a considerable stir as well.

  This main hall was very large and could accommodate up to ten thousand people. And the alchemists present at the scene was probably in the thousands as well.

  Furthermore, those who dare to come to the Thousand Query Wall for a challenge were mostly arrogant at heart and haughty in manner too; they were people with some strength to begin with.

  Of course, these people would pick the tags corresponding to their own strength.

  On the tags would have a summary of the corresponding problem. These alchemists would all select problems according to these summaries.

  Nobody dared to be like Ye Yuan, crossing levels to challenge problems. After all, anyone's essence crystals were not cabbages too, to simply use to throw at the Exquisite Jade Pavilion.

  Among the alchemists present, the highest was also just a peak Alchemy King. If Alchemy Sovereigns did not have the need to, they would not come here.

  Hence, to these people, the seventh level was virtually a forbidden area-like existence.

  Apart from wanting to experience it a little, there was simply no one who dared to challenge the seventh level.

  And Ye Yuan drawing ten tags in one go immediately caused a sensation among the crowd.

  "Ten seventh level tags, is he crazy? Even Dan Chenzi and City Lord wouldn't dare to challenge ten seventh level tags in one go too, right?"

  "Hehe, also don't know which wealthy and influential family's young master is this? This is gambling at high stakes! Ten tags, can he understand?"

  "Sigh. This boy is so young. Maybe he doesn't even know what alchemy skills are at all. Such a pity. How great would it be to let me enrich my knowledge with these ten tags!"

  "So what if let you experience it a little? Isn't it still pointless?"

  . . . . . .

  For a moment, many people's gazes all looked towards Ye Yuan. But majority of the people all had disdainful looks.

  After all, a wealthy person spending large sums of money lavishly like this was the target for other people's envy everywhere.

  Actually, Ye Yuan was really not a magnate. But since the Cao Family dared to dig the ground on top of his head, he would make the Cao Family pay a corresponding price!

  As an overlord of Wu Fang City, Ye Yuan did not believe that the Cao Family did not know that he received the City Lord's invitation.

  Even so, the Cao Family still dared to provoke him. Then he did not have the need to give face to the other pa
rty anymore!

  "Sir, these are the ten tags that you chose. There is a jade slip in the box stuck to the tag, and the question that the employer raised is inside the jade slip. You just have to inscribe the answer in the blank jade slip inside. Our Exquisite Jade Pavilion has a consultant team made up of three Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses, specialized in being responsible for evaluating the answers. As long as your answer gets a pass from the consultant team, you'll obtain the reward of essence crystals! We've prepared a quiet guest room for you. Sir can go to the guest room to slowly answer the questions," Ling-er explained with a smile.

  Although in Ling-er viewpoint, this sort of explanation wasn't necessary at all, running into such a sucker, it was still better to provide a corresponding service.

  Ye Yuan looked at Ling-er and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "That's to say that even if I answer correctly, this consultation team can say that I'm wrong?"

  Ling-er facial expression changed, the smile on her face becoming rather stiff.

  Ye Yuan's words were clearly directed at Skymaple.

  In reality, Skymaple had indeed answered the question. But the consultation team still denied his answer. That was why Skymaple would have a dispute with the Exquisite Jade Pavilion in a moment of anger.

  "What is Sir saying here? The reputation of our Exquisite Jade Pavilion is well-known in the entire Endless World. Or else, how can there be so many experts who issue rewards at our place? There has never been anybody who dared to question our Exquisite Jade Pavilion's reputation!" Ling-er's words already carried some threat.

  But Ye Yuan did not care a whit and said with a smile, "Hehe, this is my first time here. I really don't dare to believe your Exquisite Jade Pavilion's reputation that much. So, I wish to add one more person to your consultation group."

  When Ling-er heard that, her face could not help darkening, "This Sir, is it possible that you're here to cause trouble? Our consultation team has three Alchemy Sovereign experts. Who has the qualifications to join them?"

  Ling-er voice had yet to fate when an aged voice sounded out, "I wonder if this old man has this qualification?"

  [0] As some of you who are more astute, no.126 to no.136 is a total of 11 tags, not 10. Author fail math. I'll leave it as it is because it affects the other chapters when they go through.

  Chapter 508. Cao Fang's Grievance |

  "It's Master Wu Xuan. Why is he here?"

  "Master Wu Xuan is an Alchemist Association's elder. Other than being on duty in the association, he rarely makes an appearance. Why did he show up here?"

  "Could it be that he's here for this youth? Who on earth is this youth?"

  The arrival was precisely Wu Xuan!

  Ye Yuan obviously could not run to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion alone foolish. This was other people's territory after all. Other people had the final say no matter what.

  The Alchemist Association was above worldly considerations. Coming here was all too perfect.

  Before coming, Ye Yuan told Xu Zihui to invite Wu Xuan here to back him up.

  Even though Ye Yuan's attitude that day was not very good, looking at Wu Xuan's thirsting after talent appearance, most likely, he was willing to provide this help.

  As expected, Wu Xuan really came.

  But this favor, Ye Yuan would remember it. In the future, there would naturally be reciprocation.

  "M-Master Wu Xuan, why are you here?" When Ling-er saw Wu Xuan, her expression became somewhat unnatural.

  The Alchemist Association meddling in the Exquisite Jade Pavilion's matters, this was not some good omen.

  Furthermore, Wu Xuan's status was extremely high; he was not what a little lass like her could cope with.

  "This old man heard that there was somebody challenging the Thousand Query Wall's seventh level. Such a grand event naturally cannot be missed," Wu Xuan said coolly.

  "But . . . But . . ." Ling-er did not know what to say.

  Right at this moment, a voice sounded out, "Master Wu Xuan gracing us with your grand presence, it really honors the Exquisite Jade Pavilion tremendously! However . . . Master said that you wanted to join the consultation team earlier, isn't that rather inappropriate?"

  The arrival was dressed in black robes, his appearance looking rather young. A badge was pinned on his chest. He was shockingly a middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King!

  Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed. Barring no accidents, this person was most probably that whatever Third Young Master Cao.

  Wu Xuan stroked his beard and said smilingly, "I'm only here to be a witness. Nobody has challenged the seventh level's questions for very long. This old man is only here to join in the fun today."

  Cao Fang's face fell slightly. With Wu Xuan holding down the fort here, some things were not nice to be done in a flagrant manner.

  He shot Ye Yuan at vicious glare, but then he said to Wu Xuan with a pleasant countenance, "Isn't Master Wu Xuan stirring too much of a commotion? The seventh level already had no activity for five years. How old is this youth only? Merely here to take a stroll. Could he really stir up anything?"

  Wu Xuan gave Ye Yuan a look with a deep meaning and said with a smile, "Although this old man isn't harboring any hopes either, I'm also looking forward to some pleasant surprise. I'm just here to be a spectator. I believe that the Cao Family won't forbid it, right?"

  Cao Fang hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. Master Wu Xuan normally can't even be invited. How will our Cao Family dare to shut the door in your face? Welcome, welcome to the utmost degree!"

  Cao Fang was very depressed. Every Alchemy Sovereign's status was incredibly extraordinary, even if Wu Xuan was only a low-rank Alchemy Sovereign.

  An Alchemy Sovereign expert coming over to be a spectator, Cao Fang seriously could not find any reason to refuse.

  Furthermore, he was just Cao Family's junior and completely did not have the qualifications to refuse either.

  But with Wu Xuan here, it was not very good to play tricks.

  It was true that the Cao Family's consultation realm was famed for being impartial. But on this earth, what place were there that could really achieve true fairness?

  Within a very small boundary, Cao Fang could still make use of the Cao Family's prestige to do some things.

  But if Wu Xuan was here, Cao Fang would be unable to do that anymore. That would ruin the Cao Family's reputation.

  With reputation, the Cao Family's Thousand Query Wall would not be able to carry on running too.

  This would be a catastrophic blow to the Cao Family.

  Of course, Cao Fang did not believe that a puny little Sea Transformation Realm like Ye Yuan could really answer the seventh level's questions too.

  Cao Fang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a playful smile, "This distinguished one is really so courageous, taking on ten tags in one go. Even City Lord and Lord Chairman don't have such breadth of spirit either!"

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Merely just one thousand high-grade essence crystals. Just playing around. Maybe among these ten questions, I'll happen to know that one or two maybe by chance?"

  "You really dare to say that?! The questions on the seventh level, even the one published by Lord Chairman five years ago, nobody has answered them successfully to this date. You, a little Sea Transformation Realm, actually dare to engage in such wild talk!" Cao Fang was very displeased by Ye Yuan's disparaging attitude.

  Hearing these words, Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Honorable Nephew Cao is looking down on Ye Yuan here. He already passed the high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King test at the Alchemist Association yesterday. Now, he's already officially a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King! Moreover . . . he defeated Ren Dong yesterday!"

  When Wu Xuan's words came out, everyone was amazed.

  A 16 years old high-rank Alchemy King? What kind of concept was this?

  Even Cao Fang was stunned too. He only heard his subordinate say that a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple came, but he was unaware that Ye Yuan actually had such strength in alchemy.
>
  Ren Dong was the rival of his lifetime; he was an opponent that Cao Fang was unable to defeat even when he used all of his might too.

  But the target that he had no way of surpassing was actually defeated by this 16 years old youth before his eyes!

  This . . . was a little too jarring.

  But it was precisely so that he knew why Wu Xuan would make an appearance here today.

  "This youth is actually a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King! My God! How does he train alchemy? Isn't this too monstrous as well? Furthermore, he even defeated the City Lord Manor's Ren Dong. This . . . doesn't this mean that he's already the current junior generation's number one person?"

  "Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! Looking at these young people, I instantly feel that I'm old!"

  "16 years old high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King. In the future, he's bound to be a peak Alchemy Sovereign existence! Perhaps, he even has the possibility of shattering the void and assaulting the Divine Realm!"

  Wu Xuan's words caused a huge stir among the crowd.

  Wu Xuan looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "Ye Yuan, since you've already obtained the badge, why aren't you wearing it?"

  After Ye Yuan just registered his badge for a bit, he kept it again.

  Hearing Wu Xuan say so now, it was not good to conceal it anymore. He could only take the badge out and wear it.

  "Hehe, this kid really doesn't have the habit of wearing badges. Master Wu Xuan, please don't take offense," Ye Yuan said with a flattering smile.

  "You this punk! Really left me speechless at what to say! Other people treat it like a treasure when getting the badge, but only you cast it away like a pair of worn out shoes! Sigh . . ." Wu Xuan scolded while smiling.

  Ye Yuan slightly lightly and did not explain either, and he said, "Better not waste anymore time. Let me take a look at what kind of questions are inside these ten jade slips."

  As he said, Ye Yuan came right in front of box No.136 and swept over that jade slip with divine sense.

  Seeing Ye Yuan's actions, even Wu Xuan held his breath too.

  Tag No.136. It was the contents that Lord Chairman published. As the Alchemist Association's chairman, Wu Xuan was all too clear about the contents inside the jade slip.
