Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  The group of elders exchanged glances, being dumbstruck by amazement with today’s sudden turn of events.

  Before coming, they were even mocking that Ye Yuan had no face to see people.

  But now, with a sway of his body, he actually became the head elder.

  What shocked them even more was that Ye Yuan just broke through not long and his strength actually bested even Xuan Yu already.

  Such horrifying strength, it was naturally more than enough to be the head elder.

  However … Ruo Xu was awkward.

  Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Zuo Shujie said coolly, “Actually, Ye Yuan originally already resigned from his post as an elder and wasn’t willing to come out of retirement again. Yesterday, I found Ye Yuan for a long talk before he reluctantly agreed to it. Starting from today, Ye Yuan is the Pill Tower’s head elder, presiding over all matters of the Pill Tower. Xuan Yu is the second elder, Ruo Xu is the third elder, so on and so forth.”

  Finished talking, Zuo Shujie said to Ye Yuan, “Ye Yuan, the Pill Tower this whole works will be entrusted to you in the future. However, your most important task is still cultivation. After all, you’re my Heavenly Eagle’s future!”

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “City Lord rest assured, Ye Yuan has a score in my heart.”

  Zuo Shujie was not overselling Ye Yuan. He really talked until his jaws ached before convincing Ye Yuan.

  To Ye Yuan, the reason why he returned to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was primarily still because of the 500-year agreement with Li-er they all.

  Ye Yuan still had feelings for Heavenly Eagle. At least, in this place, there were quite a few of his fetters.

  Furthermore, Ye Yuan also understood that making an exception to promote him to become a Pill Tower elder back then was naturally Zuo Shujie’s intention too.

  If this were not the case, he might still have to wait until God knows when to find Qin Xiao to take revenge back then.

  In the end, he owed Zuo Shujie a favor.

  Hence, that was why he agreed to take on the post of head elder.

  Ye Yuan naturally understood that this position of head elder was not easy to be. But he did not mind either.

  Ruo Xu could bully Xuan Yu, but wanting to bully him, Ye Yuan, he was still a bit too tender.

  Moreover, in front of absolute strength, any tactic was utterly useless!

  In Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan had such confidence.

  Zuo Shujie said coolly, “I can naturally set my mind at ease with you. Alright, this matter is settled like this!”

  Finished talking, Zuo Shujie and He Chong two people left straight away, leaving behind everyone with baffled faces.

  Ruo Xu shot Ye Yuan a glance coldly, gave a cold snort, and turned around, about to leave.

  “Halt! Did I let you go?” Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Ruo Xu suddenly turned around, eyes spewing fire as he said in a cold voice, “Ye Yuan, you don’t be too smug!”

  Ye Yuan looked at Ruo Xu and said coolly, “It’s true that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! No wonder back then, Song Qiyang, a disciple, dared to even turn his nose up at me, this elder. Turns out that it was taught well by you, his master! City Lord’s words earlier, could it be that you didn’t hear?”

  Ruo Xu was already beyond furious and roared loudly, “If this old man wants to leave, could it be that you can still stop?”

  Finished talking, his figure moved, directly walking out of the great hall in large strides.

  Right at this time, Coldfeather and Zheng Qi got up at the same time, one left and one right, stopping Ruo Xu.

  The power of half-step Celestial Deity emitted off the two people’s bodies. Ruo Xu’s expression finally changed.

  He suddenly realized that these two great half-step celestial deities were both Ye Yuan’s close buddies.

  Ye Yuan said coolly, “Brother Coldfeather, you’re the Martial Hall’s head elder. Defying one’s superior and affronting the prestige of the head elder, what should be the punishment?”

  Coldfeather broke into a smile and said, “Apart from City Lord and Grand Elder, the head elders’ authority is paramount and isn’t permitted to be affronted. If there are offenders, throw into the Martial Tower’s God Refining Abyss!”

  The God Refining Abyss was a separate space inside the Martial Tower, a place used specifically to punish prisoners.

  That Qin Xiao was currently imprisoned in the God Refining Abyss.

  Ruo Xu’s expression changed when he heard that and glared at Ye Yuan as he said, “Ye Yuan, you dare?!”

  Ye Yuan laughed when he heard it and said, “Why wouldn’t I not dare? Today is this elder’s first day taking office and you gave me an opening gambit. If I let you go out like this, how will I still be a head elder? Brother Coldfeather, Brother Zheng, take him down and throw him into the God Refining Abyss for three months, so as to punish him!”

  Chapter 1689. Ning Family Requesting for Pill |

  “Ye Yuan, just you wait! Don’t think that you can do whatever you please after becoming the head elder!”Ruo Xu’s voice got further and further. Then, the entire great hall was silent, quietly until even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard too.

  In these several tens of thousands of years, no one had ever dared to throw Ruo Xu into the God Refining Abyss before. Ye Yuan actually did so!

  Who was Ruo Xu?

  He was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s person-in-charge in these few tens of thousands of years.

  Even the former Head Elder Zheng Qi also did not dare to offend him too much.

  In reality, even though Zheng Qi had many discontentments with Ruo Xu in the past, it was basically all swallowing the knocked-out teeth into his stomach.

  After all, the Martial Tower had many areas where they needed to request the Pill Tower.

  Even if Xuan Yu became the head elder, this kind of situation still did not change in the slightest.

  Coldfeather was unhappy with Ruo Xu, but he did not dare to really do anything to him as well.

  But today, this move of Ye Yuan’s was too ruthless!

  Staying three months in the God Refining Abyss, the time was not long, but this punishment was awful.

  More importantly, to Ruo Xu, this kind of high and mighty important person, it was simply unprecedented humiliation.

  How would he still show his face to people after coming out?

  The group of elders all used extremely stunned gazes to look at Ye Yuan.

  Everyone said that new officials would make drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge, but this change was also done a little too aggressively, right?

  One had to know, Ruo Xu’s prestige in Heavenly Eagle was extremely high. His forces were even deeply entangled and difficult to deal with. Wanting to use one God Refining Abyss trip to uproot his forces, this was impossible.

  The elders on Ruo Xu’s side all used gloating expressions to look at Ye Yuan.

  This newly-appointed head elder was still too inexperienced, thinking that it could bring down Ruo Xu?

  But Ye Yuan did not have this awareness. Sitting on the seat of honor, he swept a glance over everyone and opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, “In the future, if somebody dares to defy their superiors, the crime will be the same as Ruo Xu’s! Additionally, this elder has just taken office, I naturally have to give everyone some benefits. Starting from today, within three months, all elders can rely on their contribution points to find me to refine medicinal pills! You all can also refine pills for your juniors!”

  When Ye Yuan finished talking, he discovered that these elders’ reactions were all very indifferent. No one actually took the initiative to come find him to refine pills.

  But regarding this kind of situation, Ye Yuan had long expected it.

  Ruo Xu was too deeply entrenched in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. These elders, regardless of whether the Pill Tower or Martial Tower’s elders, all did not dare to offend him.

  It was still unknown who w
ould gain supremacy, how could they dare to easily choose teams?

  At this time, the Ning Zhiyuan who had been silent all along suddenly stood up and said to Ye Yuan with an excited look: “Head Elder, I wonder if … you can refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill?”

  Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance rather surprisedly, not expecting that the one who stepped forward at this time was actually him.

  One had to know, stepping forward at this time was equivalent to utterly falling out with Ruo Xu.

  But, thinking about it, Ye Yuan also felt relieved.

  Compared to falling out with Ruo Xu, Ning Zhiyuan clearly valued the increase of his own strength more.

  Reaching Ning Zhiyuan’s current realm, the medicinal pills capable of letting him improve were not many anymore.

  And this Tenghai Space Splitting Pill was precisely one of them.

  Reaching the Divine Lord Realm, the increase in strength was not just how much divine essence amassed anymore. What they regarded more highly was developing the inner world.

  Ning Zhiyuan had stopped at the eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm for many years already, failing to break through to become a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord for a long time.

  He had also found Ruo Xu to refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill before. But Ruo Xu refined a few times and it all failed.

  This was a level seven difficulty medicinal pill. Even for Xuan Yu and Ruo Xu, the success rate of refining was extremely low too.

  Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance and said coolly, “You gather the spirit medicines and come find me tomorrow. Alright, all disperse.”

  Ning Zhiyuan was scheming and calculating and rarely got excited.

  But now, his face actually appeared somewhat flushed became of agitation.

  “Heh, Elder Ning, you really believe that he can refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill? At that time, if he can’t refine it, your Ning Family will have a good show to watch!”

  “Yeah, Elder Ning, you were also too reckless this time!”

  “Elder Ning, I’m somewhat pitying you right now!”

  …

  These elders all came in front of Ning Zhiyuan, expressing their sympathy and gloating over his misfortune.

  They totally did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill.

  In fact, they did not even believe that Ye Yuan could cure Zheng Qi.

  The vast majority of them were guessing if Ye Yuan obtained some essence replenishing and vitality nourishing supreme treasure while traveling outside, that’s how it brought Zheng Qi back to life, even breaking through the shackles.

  To say that Ye Yuan refined such a high difficulty medicinal pill, they really did not believe.

  Toward this, Ning Zhiyuan just smiled did not say much.

  With Ning Tianping around, his understanding of Ye Yuan was naturally not what these fools could compare to.

  …

  On the second day, Ning Zhiyuan indeed came to find Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan saw that he was somewhat hesitating and said coolly, “Just say whatever you want to say, I don’t like to beat around the bush.”

  Ning Zhiyuan was slightly embarrassed as he said, “Head Elder, it’s like this, there are some people in our clan who heard that head elder can personally refine pills, and all want to request pills from you. Wonder if …”

  Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance. The other party could not help feeling somewhat guilty, as if being seen through by Ye Yuan.

  The Ning Family’s clansmen would request pills from him?

  This was probably Ning Zhiyuan deciding all on his own, right?!

  He wanted to increase the family clan’s strength and was also afraid of offending Ye Yuan, that was why he said it like this.

  Ye Yuan said coolly, “Since I personally promised, I naturally won’t go back on my words. You leave behind all the spirit medicines, the contribution points will be deducted from you. Five days later, come over to fetch the pills.”

  The moment Ning Zhiyuan heard, he could not help being overjoyed and said, “Many thanks, Head Elder!”

  After Ning Zhiyuan left, Ning Tianping revealed his figure and thanked Ye Yuan with a bow, “Many thanks, Your Excellency, for not taking prior transgressions to heart, and refining pills for the Ning Family’s members.”

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “This family head of yours helped me out a lot this time. Otherwise, this deadlock would really be hard to clear.”

  Ning Tianping smiled and said, “That’s Your Excellency’s charity to the Ning Family. With this chance placed in front of him, the family head naturally values the Ning Family’s future more. Family Head has already been stuck being an eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord for tens of thousands of years and has always been unable to break through. Once this opportunity is missed, it will be hard for him to want to break through! With his shrewdness, how could he possibly let go?”

  Ye Yuan sized Ning Tianping up and said with a nod, “Your cultivation recently, the rate of progress is pretty good!”

  Ning Tianping smiled and said, “Is Your Excellency praising yourself? This is all thanks to Your Excellency’s medicinal pills! After Your Excellency broke through to become a Four-star Alchemy God, the medicinal pills refined are even more miraculous. My cultivation simply advances by leaps and bounds! At this speed, I can probably assault the fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm in less than 50 years!”

  These few days, Ye Yuan refined quite a few medicinal pills for Ning Tianping.

  Ning Tianping ate those ordinary rank four divine pills like swallowing miracle elixirs, strength improving by leaps and bounds. Now, he already became a middle-stage fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.

  This cultivation speed could be rated as horrifying in Divine Lord Realm.

  Very soon, a month’s time passed, the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City stirred up overnight.

  Chapter 1690. Stirring up the Entire City |

  A Ning Family’s clan elder who was a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord, Ning Canghai, broke through to become a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord!

  Another Ning Family’s clan elder who was a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, Ning Zhongkai, also broke through, becoming a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord!

  …

  The Ning Family’s patriarch, Ning Zhiyuan, finally broke through his bottleneck, becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord!

  News after another stirred up the entire city, sweeping across the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City like the wind.

  It was as if overnight, the entire Ning Family ascended!

  Those Ning Family clan elders sitting around waiting to die, without any hopes of breaking through, actually all broke through!

  This news was too shocking.

  Of course, the most shocking one was still Ning Zhiyuan’s breakthrough!

  What did a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord mean?

  It meant standing at the summit of the imperial city!

  Apart from Celestial Deity powerhouses, ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were the strongest!

  Furthermore, after becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord, it also meant that Ning Zhiyuan had the chance to touch that fleeting and ephemeral Celestial Deity Realm.

  No matter whether it was successful or not, at least he had this qualification.

  In the city, how many could have such qualifications?

  “Hey, this news wouldn’t be fake, right? Those few old fellows were already approaching their hour of death, they actually broke through?”

  “How can this be fake? Those few old things are beside themselves with joy, wishing for the entire city to know that they broke through!”

  “This … This is also too coincidental, right? It couldn’t be that … the Ning Family collectively gained enlightenment, right?”

  “Enlightenment my *ss! Are you dumb?! Head Elder Ye Yuan promised at the elders meeting that all of the elders can find him to refine pills, but nobody took him
seriously. Only Ning Zhiyuan alone requested him to refine pills! In the end, the Ning Family’s members all ascended overnight!”

  “Is this … real or fake? Didn’t Head Elder Ye Yuan just break through not long ago? His alchemy skills already reached such a terrifying degree?”

  …

  The powerhouses in the imperial city were all discussing this matter.

  To Divine Lord Realm martial artists, what else could be more attractive than breaking through?

  Hence, within the major family clans, they were all thrown into utter disarray.

  Especially among those elders’ families, it became a total mess.

  Those clan elders were all blaming the patriarchs. Why didn’t they go and request pills from Head Elder Ye Yuan?!

  At the Shi Family’s residence, several old fellows were pointing at Shi Feng’s nose and scolding him.

  Shi Feng and Ning Zhiyuan could be said to be two heroes who existed side by side. The two were both eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses, both occupying a very important position in the Elders Association.

  The Shi Family and Ning Family had also been secretly competing all along.

  Shi Feng and Ruo Xu walked very close, so they had always been suppressing the Ning Family.

  In this matter, Shi Feng chose to stand on Ruo Xu’s side without any hesitation.

  That day, Ning Zhiyuan’s very cautious appearance, Shi Feng was still very disdainful when he saw it, even somewhat looking down on Ning Zhiyuan’s groveling.

  In his presence, he did not have qualms reproving Ning Zhiyuan behind his back.

  But who knew that only a month’s time passed, and then Ning Zhiyuan actually directly broke through, becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse.

  Shi Feng was utterly stunned by this news!

  But he had not come back to his senses yet and a bunch of clan elders blocked him in tightly, all pointing at his nose and scolding.
