Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Ye Yuan's speed of checking the jade slip was very quick. He only used several breaths of time and then placed it back.

  "How is it? Any confidence?" Wu Xuan could not resist asking.

  Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Let me take a look at the others first."

  Chapter 509. Ye Yuan's Sick Plan! |

  When Wu Xuan saw the situation, he could not help laughing in spite of himself and said, "You this punk are even keeping people in suspense. I'm really helpless against you! Forget it, forget it! You take a look first."

  "Tch, don't know means don't know; pretending rather well! Even if you're a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, so what? These five years, a total of dozen over Alchemy Sovereign experts had challenged the No.136 question. Among them even included Lord Chairman. But not a single one succeeded. With the likes of you, can you even answer it?" Cao Fang laughed mockingly.

  Although Cao Fang's words were not pleasant to the ears, the alchemists present all secretly approved of it.

  Ren Xingchun and Dan Chenzi, the two of them practically represented the Endless World's Alchemy Path's highest standards.

  Questions that even they could not answer basically meant that it was unsolvable and could belong to the conjecture category.

  This kind of conjectures, with the Endless World's standard, there was simply no way of answering.

  Except, they were unaware that Ye Yuan's alchemy standards surpassed the Endless World's standards in the first place.

  Ye Yuan gave Cao Fang a look, but then he said with a faint smile, "Third Young Master Cao, if I can answer this question No.136, I won't take a single penny of Lord Chairman's essence crystal reward. All for your Cao Family, how about that?"

  Cao Fang's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that and asked, "What terms do you have?"

  "Release Elder Skymaple, and you offer an apology to him. How about that?" Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Cao Fang had long foreseen that Ye Yuan would say this, and said with a cold smile, "Heh, that old fellow failed the challenge and even slandered my Exquisite Jade Pavilion's reputation. He naturally can't be forgiven easily. My Cao Family has stood in Wu Fang City for several thousand years. What we rely on is reputation this word. How can wanting to let him go be so easy? Unless that old fellow is willing to come forward himself and admit that he slandered the Cao Family."

  Cao Fang saw that Ye Yuan looked like he had a well-thought-out plan, but Cao Fang was reluctant to give in, shoving reputation this word over.

  He initially thought that Ye Yuan would fly into a great rage. But Ye Yuan just nodded his head lightly and said, "Then that can't be helped. Third Young Master better hurry and go raise the essence crystals now. I'm afraid that your Cao Family can't bring out so many essence crystals in a while."

  Ye Yuan's calm and collected manner was as if everything was under control.

  Looking at his manner, this seventh level's question No.136 was like a pile of crap in his eyes.

  Of course, this was not how others saw it.

  In reality, these questions were indeed a pile of crap in Ye Yuan's eyes.

  Ye Yuan's objective was very simple, which was to challenge the Thousand Query Wall; he wanted to challenge them all the way until the Cao Family went bankrupt!

  These essence crystal rewards were under the Cao Family's charge, but they would not lie there untouched. The Cao Family naturally wasn't willing to do something so silly. Those essence crystals, they would definitely use to do other things.

  But these several thousand years, all of the alchemists who answered the questions, the Cao Family would pay out the full sum according to the reward amount. There had never been a missing sum.

  Even if the person who raised the question was already a dead person.

  It was also precisely because of this that the Cao Family could ensure it's powerful reputation.

  Ye Yuan had long known that the Cao Family's reputation was already deeply engraved in people's hearts along the way. So he did not clash head-on, coming out to question Cao Family's prestige issue.

  That way, other people simply would not believe. He would instead become a vile character who defamed the Cao Family.

  Even someone as powerful as Wu Xuan would not come out to question the Cao Family's prestige either, let alone Ye Yuan whose words carried little weight.

  Hence, Ye Yuan found another path. He was going to keep challenging question after question. He was going to make the Cao Family be unable to take out so many available essence crystals!

  Ye Yuan did not believe that at the end, the Cao Family still dared to not release people!

  Ye Yuan dared to do this entirely because of his incomparably formidable strength in alchemy!

  If it were another person, how would they dare to use this kind of extreme method?

  When Cao Fang heard Ye Yuan's words, he just took it for a joke and said indifferently, "If you have the capabilities, then make my Cao Family be unable to take out so many essence crystals! So many alchemists are watching here. Don't be all talk and no action. Who doesn't know how to talk big?"

  Many people saw Ye Yuan say such arrogant words, and all could not stifle their laughter.

  "Haha! Still young and impetuous! Even if he can really answer Lord Dan Chenzi's question, how can the problems in front be that easy to resolve?"

  "That's right! Being arrogant has to have a limit too, no? These several thousand years, the Thousand Query Wall only accumulated this hundred over questions. If he answered all of them, wouldn't the alchemy powerhouses in these thousands of year all be unfit to carry shoes for him?"

  "Haha! Young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. His attitude can still be understood!"

  Ye Yuan did not refute. He just nodded his head slightly and started examining the No.135 jade slip.

  Ye Yuan's examining speed was very fast. He practically just gave a brief scan and placed it down.

  Seeing Ye Yuan's actions, the others felt even more that Ye Yuan was out to posture.

  The Thousand Query Wall's seventh level's questions were all incomparable profound. Even understanding it needed to expend a very long time.

  Ye Yuan just used several breaths of time before putting the jade slip down. He did not even think about it at all. How could he answer them?

  Even Wu Xuan was also rather disappointed seeing Ye Yuan's actions.

  In his heart, he naturally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer these questions. But at the thought of Ye Yuan's performance yesterday, he somehow had some more anticipation in his heart.

  This was the fundamental reason why he was willing to come!

  Same as Ren Dong, Wu Xuan also viewed the video which recorded Ye Yuan refining pills anew. Using marvelous work of art was insufficient to describe it!

  Refining standards such as this, even he, an Alchemy Sovereign, was unable to achieve them at all.

  Wu Xuan was very curious; what kind of person could nurture such a heaven-defying junior?

  Very soon, Ye Yuan put down the No.126 jade slip. This was considered him reading finish all the questions.

  "Boy, these ten questions are all unbelievably difficult. You probably can't even study in detail within a short period of time. The Exquisite Jade Pavilion has individual rooms and pill refining rooms. You can experiment while you answer," Wu Xuan reminded.

  He did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer these questions in such a short time.

  Him asking Ye Yuan before was just wanting to ask if Ye Yuan had any hopes of answering, and not to answer right away.

  The Chairman's question, he himself studied it for a very long time too. He would even take it out to study for a bit occasionally, but he still was unable to find the correct approach.

  Even if Ye Yuan was any more monstrous, it was not possible to answer so quickly either.

  But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No need. Third Young Master Cao, invite the consultation team here. I'll answer finish in one shot. Saves the tro
uble too. As it happens, Master Wu Xuan is here too. Be a witness for me then."

  "What? You want to answer right now? There are over a thousand alchemists watching here. Don't make a fool out of so many people!" Cao Fang was taken aback with shock by Ye Yuan's actions.

  Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I just want to answer in front of so many people's faces. Otherwise, wouldn't everybody miss out on a great show? Enough nonsense, I'm going to inscribe the jade slips right now. They still need a very long time to evaluate it. Don't drag the time."

  Chapter 510. So That's How It Is! |

  The jade slips were prepared ready. Ye Yuan casually picked up a jade slip and started inscribing the solution to No.136.

  This kind of inscribing did not need to use up too much time. Ye Yuan finished inscribing the jade slip soon enough.

  Ye Yuan did not delay either, directly picking up the second jade slip to inscribe.

  When Cao Fang saw this scene, he sneered coldly inwardly.

  Even if you are heaven-defying, could you really answer all ten of these questions?

  If this was really the case, wouldn't my Cao Family putting up this Thousand Query Wall become a joke?

  "Come, men. Invite the consultation team's three elders here!" Cao Fang instructed.

  Since Ye Yuan wished to be embarrassed, then just let him be disgraced!

  When the three elders directly rejected his answer, see what else he has to say.

  Very soon, three Alchemy Sovereign experts were invited into the main hall.

  Like this, there were four Alchemy Sovereign experts in the main hall. Furthermore, in the consultation team, there was even a middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign. Such a line-up could be rated as extravagant.

  "Yii? Wu Xuan, why are you here as well?" asked one of the Alchemy Sovereign experts in surprise.

  "Hehe, Liu Yun, I'm here today for this boy." Wu Xuan pointed at the Ye Yuan who was currently inscribing jade slips.

  Liu Yan trio took a look at Ye Yuan, and their gaze involuntarily turned intense. "Who is this young man? To actually challenge ten seventh level problems in one go?"

  What they were surprised by was Ye Yuan's lavishness and not Ye Yuan's courage.

  In these three people's perspective, Ye Yuan was simply being comical. Except, they could not figure out why Wu Xuan who was an Alchemy Sovereign expert would accompany a child to mess around here.

  "Three elders, he's called Ye Yuan. Merely someone talking big to impress people. It was only on account of Elder Wu Xuan's face that I invited three elders to move your grand presence to the main hall."

  "Uh, that's fine. We received Cao Family's appointment, so we naturally have to put in some effort. Old Brother Wu Xuan is worthy of us moving here. It's just that which family's child is this young man? Playing around too much. Old Brother Wu Xuan, why are you accompanying him to kick up a row too?" said the middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign.

  "Hehe, Old Brother Zhu Jiang don't make an error of judgment. This youth has some capabilities. Answering ten in one go might be messing around a little, but if one of them, I feel that there is a possibility!" Wu Xuan said.

  When Zhu Jiang heard Wu Xuan's words, he could not help being slightly stunned.

  What kind of person Wu Xuan was, he was very clear.

  Wu Xuan's conduct was prudent and was also very experienced and vigorous when refining pills. He never did frivolous things.

  Today, he actually praised a youngster in front of everyone like so. Could it be that this youngster was really out of the ordinary?

  The other two could not help sizing up Ye Yuan too, but they could not perceive the slightest extraordinary aspect.

  Moreover, Ye Yuan's speed of inscribing the jade slips was too fast. No matter how one looked, it was also like being mischievous.

  To answer the seventh level's questions, any one of them would need a person to expend massive amount of time and energy. Who would answer the way he did?

  If Ye Yuan challenged one before and went back to do enormous amounts of research, then came back to challenge again now, that would give no cause for criticism.

  But answering ten in one go, was there any other explanation other than messing around?

  "Old Brother Wu Xuan, this joke cannot be made! What kind of degree the seventh level's questions reached, you're aware. He, a youth still wet behind his ears, can answer them?" Zhu Jiang said in disbelief.

  Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Whether he can answer or not, I'm not certain either. But I have a feeling that maybe he can really answer?"

  "Done!"

  Zhu Jiang had yet to ask again, and Ye Yuan's voice came over.

  "Hiss . . ."

  The alchemists present all drew a cold breath. Wasn't this answering speed a little too quick?

  "Heh, this boy is really gutsy enough, to make four Alchemy Sovereign experts mess around with him! Wonder what kind of expression Master Zhu Jiang, the three of them, will have in a moment."

  "Such a fast speed is completely fooling people! How can the seventh level's questions be answered so quickly?"

  "Although this youngster's strength isn't bad, his temperament still needs tempering! Such a way of trying to impress people by sensationalizing things is really too disgracing."

  Seeing Ye Yuan finish inscribing the jade slip so quickly, those alchemists basically already lost interest in continuing to watch.

  If not for several Alchemy Sovereign experts being here, they probably wouldn't even be bothered to look.

  "Young man, are you sure that you're not making a fool out of us few old fellows? Although Old Brother Wu Xuan regards you very highly, you yourself need to have a sense of propriety as well!" Zhu Jiang said with a deep meaning.

  "Huhu, how can Ye Yuan dare to beguile Seniors? Whether I answered correctly or not, Seniors will know after evaluating it for a bit. It's just . . . Seniors don't go against your conscience to judge them, and that will do," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  When Ye Yuan's words came out, Zhu Jiang trio were startled in their hearts.

  The three of them actually were not subordinate to the Cao Family. They were only holding down the fort at this Thousand Query Wall on behalf of the Cao Family.

  This was already the Cao Family's custom. The consultation team would change once every five years. The Alchemy Sovereign experts invited over had no relations whatsoever with the Cao Family.

  This way, it would ensure the fairness to the greatest limit.

  It was also precisely because of this relationship that although the Cao Family had declined now, it was an immensely powerful faction in this Wu Fang City and even in the entire Endless World.

  This kind of approach was not wrong. It was just that Zhu Jiang trio received the Cao Family's appointment all year round, they would naturally have to take away quite a bit of benefits from the Cao Family.

  Cao Fang troubling them for a bit because of some minor thing, they naturally found it hard to decline.

  Ye Yuan's words earlier were lightly pointing it out to them.

  But these few people were all experienced and shrewd with age. They naturally would not show it on their faces.

  "Haha, good. Indeed, heroes come from youngsters. This old man will take a look first to see if your answer makes sense or not.

  As he said, Zhu Jiang was about to go take the No.136 answer.

  "Old Brother Zhu Jiang, this question No.136 was issued by Lord Chairman. Wu Xuan is incapable, but I wonder if I can cut in front to examine it first?" Wu Xuan suddenly called out.

  Zhu Jiang was stunned, but he nodded and said, "Since Old Brother Wu Xuan is in such a mood, what's the harm in letting you look first?"

  Zhu Jiang did not care at all. Because he totally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer it.

  "Haha, then I thank Old Brother Zhu Jiang!"

  As he said, Wu Xuan gave Ye Yuan a long meaningful look and took up the No.136 answer that Ye Yuan inscribed.

  Wu Xuan's divine sense sunk into the j
ade slip. In the beginning, he still looked calm and composed.

  But with the passing of time, Wu Xuan's brows gradually knitted tightly together!

  When everyone saw this scene, they could not help becoming curious. Could it be that this boy's answers really still had some knack to it?

  But Cao Fang sneered coldly inside. These two people's two-man act was really realistic. Even he was fooled too.

  It was just that, one still needed to speak with the truth in the end!

  "What? Old Brother Wu Xuan, is it possible that this answer really still has some knack to it?" Although Zhu Jiang was asking Wu Xuan, he clearly still did not believe.

  Actually, his thoughts were roughly the same as Cao Fang's. It was that Wu Xuan and Ye Yuan were acting out a two-man show.

  "Hahaha! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" All of a sudden, Wu Xuan started laughing maniacally, his entire person appearing extremely excited.

  Chapter 511. All Correct! |

  "No wonder! No wonder it couldn't be refined no matter what! So that's how it is! Hahaha! When Lord Chairman sees this jade slip, he'll surely be very delighted!"

  Wu Xuan suddenly took out a communication talisman and inserted some essence energy. The communication talisman vanished with a swoosh.

  Seeing Wu Xuan's expression, Cao Fang's heart involuntarily palpitated.

  Could it be that this boy really answered the question No.136?

  "Old Brother Wu Xuan, is it possible that . . ." Zhu Jiang asked in puzzlement.

  Only now did Wu Xuan come to a realization. He passed the jade slip to Zhu Jiang and said, "Dear me, Old Brother Zhu Jiang, apologies, apologies. This question is from Lord Chairman. I've researched it for a very long time too. But I keep feeling that there are some places which I don't understand, and it cannot be solved no matter what. Now that I suddenly have a clear understanding, I'm seriously too excited!"

  "Hiss . . . It was really answered?" Zhu Jiang was still somewhat suspicious.

  "Hehe, you'll know when you take a look." Wu Xuan could not be bothered to be long-winded with him too. Let him verify himself, and he would naturally know.
