Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “I’ve also discovered that the entire Cloudmarsh City’s essence energy seems to be considerably more plentiful compared to in the past. Looks like the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time is rather extraordinary.”
“A great era is coming. This Immemorial Medicine Garden also can’t endure the loneliness anymore! Undercurrents are surging in the Divine Realm. Divine artifacts coming into being one after another, perhaps … this is our lucky chance! It’s just that I never thought that younger brother, you, actually obtained a divine artifact too!” Kuang Tianming said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Had another lucky encounter in this life, that’s how I acquire the dragon race’s supreme treasure.”
Ye Yuan thought to himself, what I acquired is not just a simple divine artifact! Between the Vast Heaven Stele and the Sacred Dragon Token, the degree of terror of the former is still far above the Sacred Dragon Token.
It was just that these two items’ implications were too serious. Ye Yuan would not easily spread the news out.
“Alright, enough nonsense. I’ll suppress the sword qi in your body for you first. Or else, at this rate, before the Immemorial Medicine Garden opens, you’re probably going to become a cripple already,” Ye Yuan said.
Kuang Tianming nodded his head. He also knew that his own body could not delay anymore.
Fortunately, he ran into Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the consequences would really be too ghastly to imagine.
After several hours, Ye Yuan’s fingers suddenly tapped onto Kuang Tianming’s back, leaving illusionary images.
“Puhwark …”
Kuang Tianming immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. But the complexion on his face became much better.
“I’ve troubled you, Younger Brother …” Kuang Tianming said.
But Ye Yuan frowned and said, “I didn’t think that Ji Canglan’s strength is actually powerful to such a degree already! Looks like being able to escape from his hands the last time was really a fluke!”
Kuang Tianming nodded and said, “Back then, I heard of the Medicine King Hall’s accident and the news of you, Younger Brother’s demise. I was immediately filled with righteous indignation and immediately charged up to the Medicine King Hall. I didn’t expect that at that time, Ji Canglan already cultivated to the eighth extreme! I didn’t last more than a few moves under his hands before being defeated, nearly losing my life at his hands. Even so, his sword intent was still akin to bone-festering maggots, wreaking havoc inside my body.”
Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, had long already stepped into the realm of Void Mystic 80 years ago.
Compared to Ji Canglan, he should be a veteran Void Mystic expert.
But that time they exchanged blows 20 years ago, Kuang Tianming was actually not his match already.
Now that 20 years had passed, Ji Canglan’s strength would only be even more terrifying.
For Ye Yuan to be able to succeed the last time, on the one hand was Ji Canglan underestimating the enemy. On the other hand, it was Ye Yuan who caught him overly unawares.
Ji Canglan also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually used a self-harming method and breached his Divine King domain.
And also did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such a terrifying divine artifact in possession.
If he was long prepared, it would be impossible for Ye Yuan to succeed.
Ye Yuan’s expression became rather ugly but forced the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood out of his body.
“Take it. Nourish it for a while inside your body. It should be able to eradicate the powers of lightning within your body. Looks like you had enough to choke on being hunted down by Wu Yuanqiao these few days. The injuries within your body are so severe. It’s probably also thanks to him, right?” Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent as he said.
He helped Kuang Tianming to treat his injuries just now and discovered that within his body not only had the eight extreme sword qi, but there was also still a lightning power with very strong destructive force.
Originally, these powers of lightning was not a big deal. But Kuang Tianming was unable to purge the eight extreme sword qi in the first place. These powers of lightning undoubtedly piled on a disaster on top of someone who was already unfortunate.
Currently, the aura in Kuang Tianming’s body was incomparably chaotic and already almost could not be suppressed.
Ye Yuan expended a Herculean effort before barely managing to seal the eight extreme sword qi with an extremely brilliant method. But this could only alleviate the symptoms and not treat the root.
Before long, the eight extreme sword qi would still break through the seal. At that time, Kuang Tianming’s condition would be even more severe.
Kuang Tianming knew that he could not hide it and could only nod his head and say, “Ever since that guy knew that I suffered injuries, he kept on chasing me down. Today, if not for being apprehensive of your divine artifact, he probably wouldn’t leave so easily either. However … you actually even have a rare object like the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. Furthermore, it’s even Tier 9. Truly makes me incredibly shocked! If Thundercry that fellow knows that you have this object, he’ll probably want to obtain it at all costs.”
Ye Yuan said viciously, “I’m still afraid that he wouldn’t come! Alright, this period of time, you recuperate well. As for the matter of medicinal pills, don’t need you to worry. Leave it all to me!”
Kuang Tianming did not know the inside story and said in surprise, “Younger Brother, I’m not doubting your strength. It’s just that … in your present state, you probably can’t refine the medicinal pills I need, right?”
Ye Yuan was merely First Level Dao Profound strength currently. Even counting in that his previous life’s alchemy skills and experiences were all there, it was also not possible to refine medicinal pills that a Void Mystic expert needed.
He naturally did not know that Ye Yuan’s soul force was long not constrained by cultivation realm already. Furthermore, he even comprehended Divine Dao laws.
His alchemy skills were already no longer what it was!
“Huhu, when have your younger brother, I, done unreliable things? You just have to recuperate at ease will do,” Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.
Chapter 1041. Someone Cutting In |
“Master, you … you’re certain that you want me to start training from Tier 1 alchemy techniques?” Gu Yue looked at Xiao Ruyan wide-eyed as he asked with a bitter look.
Xiao Ruyan had a look of disdain as she looked at Gu Yue and said, “Me and Junior Apprentice Brother both trained like this. If you aren’t willing, you don’t have to train!”
Gu Yue was stunned. He even thought that Xiao Ruyan was deliberately taking revenge on his behavior back then, and designed this threshold to come and make things difficult for him.
What was there to train for Tier 1 alchemy techniques?
Who was he, Gu Yue?
He was an exalted Alchemy Venerable expert, a big shot who won 3420 matches consecutively in Cloudmarsh City. His foundation was incomparably solid. Was there still a need to practice this sort of child’s plaything?
But he never expected that Xiao Ruyan they all actually trained like this!
Gu Yue could not help turning his eyes towards Martial Uncle Ren Dong. Ren Dong nodded and said, “Senior Sister didn’t lie to you. Back then, our expressions were the exact same as yours right now.”
Gu Yue was speechless and could not help asking, “Then … this needs to be trained to what level?”
Xiao Ruyan said, “Train all of the Tier 1 alchemy techniques to the Legendary Realm, and you can cultivate Tier 2 alchemy techniques, so on and so forth. But before you cultivate Tier 2 alchemy techniques, I will explain the medicinal theory of Tier 1 medicinal pills for you to hear afresh.”
Gu Yue blinked twice, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Tier 1 medicinal pills and medicinal theory?
This … What’s there to learn?” Gu Yue was really speechless.
What he pursued was the limits of the alchemy path, just like Lord Qingyun Zi! But the master that he currently acknowledged actually made him start learning from scratch!
This … Was this drilling him like a newbie?
Xiao Ruyan snorted coldly and said, “Why? Looking down on Tier 1 alchemy techniques and Tier 1 medicinal pills, is it? Doesn’t matter either way; you’re just an in-name disciple right now. I still have many things I need to practice myself. If you’re not willing to train, get lost as soon as possible!”
Done talking, Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong turned around and left, and started cultivating the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art not far away.
But seeing this scene, Gu Yue was endlessly surprised in his heart.
He did not cultivate the Tier 1 alchemy techniques straight away but observed Master and Martial Uncle by the side.
Gu Yue was very perplexed. Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong already cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm. Why did they still want to carry on cultivating?
He just watched them like that. Then discovered that the two people cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art again and again just like that.
Such dreary and dull cultivation, it was still his first time seeing.
10 times, 50 times, 100 times … 500 times!
The more Gu Yue watched, the more shocked he got. The two people did not have the intention of stopping at all. They just trained like this over and over again.
Exhausted and became tired-out, they would casually consume medicinal pills and meditate on the spot to recover. After recovering, they would continue cultivating again.
As for Gu Yue, they completely treated him like he did not exist.
Gu Yue finally knew the reason why Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong were both younger than him, but their strength already surpassed him!
Diligence!
What they competed in was not talent, but diligence!
He also finally knew that Xiao Ruyan was not joking with him!
Master and Martial Uncle definitely both started cultivating from Tier 1 alchemy techniques.
This was also to say that the two of them already cultivated the alchemy arts before Tier 5 all to the Legendary Realm!
This … How much time and energy did this have to expend?
Gu Yue did not dare to go and think at all!
Comparing talent, he, Gu Yue, was confident that he was not inferior to anyone! He even felt that his talent was higher than both Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong.
But him getting defeated at their hands was an indisputable fact!
What he thought was correct. Carrying on training like this, soon enough, his disparity with Master and Martial Uncle would only become greater and greater.
Up till now, he finally knew why Ji Qingyun was able to become an existence that alchemists looked up to.
Without a doubt, Lord Qingyun Zi’s alchemy Dao talent was very terrifying. However, the effort behind him was what everybody could not see!
Without repetitive tempering, even if his talent was any higher, it was also not possible to win five thousand eight hundred over matches in a row!
People more impressive than you, but was a hundred times, a thousand times more hardworking compared to you. How could you have a reason to not lose?
Gu Yue sucked in a deep breath and purged all of the distracting thoughts out of his mind. The movements of his hands slowly begun. It was precisely the starting stance of the Lesser Phaseless Art.
…
When Xiao Ruyan trio were all immersed in the middle of frenzied cultivation, Jiang Taicang was currently stomping his feet in rage.
“Milord, that bunch of fellows are seriously bullying people too far! They know that you’re collecting the Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen. No idea which bastard was it, they actually cleared these two kinds of spirit medicines all away within the city!”
These two kinds of spirit medicines concerned whether or not Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the two people, could recover their strength. He was naturally very nervous.
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, “Why? Are there a lot of Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen?”
Jiang Taicang said, “To talk about prior to this, there really weren’t these two kinds of spirit medicines. But this period of time, don’t know why either, many precious spirit medicines appeared at the peripherals of the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Among them had these two kinds of spirit medicines. I’ve already inquired before, two stalks of Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and a strain of Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen appeared in the city for a recent period of time. But not long after milord sent the word out, they were cut off by people. This is clearly somebody wanting to oppose milord!”
Ao Qian frowned and said, “It would be best if there is, don’t insist on it if there isn’t either! Since milord promised you guys, he naturally won’t go back on his word! Presently, the forces in Cloudmarsh City are gathering their people. Milord’s identity is already exposed too. It’s hard to guarantee that an enemy like Jian Wushuang wouldn’t appear. Making too many enemies has no benefits for us!”
When Jiang Taicang heard that, he also knew that he was overly anxious, and said in embarrassment, “This … It was Taicang who didn’t consider thoroughly. Hope that Your Excellency doesn’t blame.”
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said smilingly, “Just some clowns jumping around! Since they dare to bully until on top of my head, they will have to be prepared to receive my wrath! Since my identity is already exposed, even if I avoid them, they will also think of ways to drop in. Since these two types of spirit medicines appeared, we naturally have to get it back. The Immemorial Medicine Garden is rather unusual this time. If your strength is a little stronger, we will also have some assurance in safety.”
Ye Yuan’s words made Jiang Taicang very agitated.
“But … just who on earth did this? I’ve inquired for many days and didn’t find out either,” Jiang Taicang said gloomily.
These few days, Cloudmarsh City was a meeting of wind and clouds, various factions mixing together like dragons and fishes jumbling up together. Experts in the city were as many as clouds. In comparison, their party was still a little weak.
Ye Yuan said, “Calculating based on the time, it shouldn’t be Jian Wushuang. Looks like there’s someone stirring things up in the dark. Forget it, can’t guess then can’t guess. Let’s go and ask, and we’ll know.”
As he said, Ye Yuan got up and walked out.
Jiang Taicang was stunned and chased after to ask, “Milord, Taicang has already inquired for quite a few days but didn’t find any clues either! Those few sellers also seemed to be unaware of the other party’s background. Who do we go look for to ask?”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “This Cloudmarsh City, who understands the situation in the city the best?”
Jiang Taicang shook his head stiffly.
Ye Yuan chuckled and headed straight out of the door.
Chapter 1042. Old Man Han |
When Ao Qian and the others all saw ‘City Lord Manor,’ these three big words, all of them could not help exchanging glances.
Cloudmarsh City’s city lord was a very mysterious existence. The ones managing normally were all several deputy city lords acting on behalf. But barely anyone had seen before the city lord’s real appearance.
Even an old monster like Ao Qian also knew very well that Cloudmarsh City’s city lord was not to be provoked.
A land where wind and clouds met like Cloudmarsh City, even if it wasn’t the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, it was still a place that was extremely hard to manage.
Without some skills, how could one be able to hold down such a large city?
“Your Excellency, you wouldn’t be …”
Jiang Taicang’s words had yet to finish speaking when Ye Yuan already mus
tered up essence energy and projected his voice out.
“Old Man Han, an old friend came to visit. Why haven’t you come out to welcome me?”
The moment these words were uttered, several terrifying killing intents instantly locked onto the few people.
Even an existence like Ao Qian had cold sweat pouring profusely at this time too.
Among these killing intents, there were definitely Void Mystic powerhouses. Once they had any unusual movements, the other party would give them a deadly blow without the slightest hesitation.
If in his top condition, Ao Qian naturally did not fear. But at the moment, his strength was too weak. If they were to really do battle, there was only a road that led to death.
“Your Excellency, w-we’d better leave!” Jiang Taicang was rather scared already and could not resist going forward to urge.
But Ye Yuan was calm and collected. It was as if he did not sense any killing intent at all.
After several breaths, a faint voice transmitted out.
“Come on in.”
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and passed right through the city lord manor’s array formation, and entered the city lord manor’s rear-hall.
“Milord!”
Jiang Taicang and the rest were about to catch up when that killing intent suddenly became much more piercingly cold.
“You all wait outside!” a voice transmitted out faintly, revealing killing intent.
Ao Qian was rather indignant as he said, “Wait until this father of yours recovers his strength. See if you dregs still dare to be cocky in front of me!”
Talking was talking, Ao Qian also knew that he did not have the capital to be arrogant at present. His only hope lay on Ye Yuan.
…
Ye Yuan followed the aura of that voice and arrived at a very covert courtyard in the rear-hall.
