Unrivaled Medicine God

Ye Yuan said in surprise when he heard that, “So that’s how it is! Then this little brother really had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!”
As he said, Ye Yuan even gave a bow toward Jian Yun.
Jian Hongxiao’s brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd.
He still thought that Ye Yuan was intentionally finding an excuse to draw a clean line with him just now. He could understand this. But Ye Yuan’s style right now was very unlike him!
Jian Yun had a smug look as he said with a smile, “Huhu, forget it, you following this old fellow, it’s also normal that you’re inexperienced and ignorant. This young master, I, am in a good mood today and will take a look at your destiny.”
Ye Yuan was delighted when he heard that and said with clasped hands, “Then thank you very much, Young Master Jian Yun!”
Jian Yun also had the intention of showing off. Circulating his cultivation method, he cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan.
“Ouch, my eyes! My eyes can’t see anything anymore! My eyes are blind!”
Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain in his eyes like it was being burned. He was already unable to open his eyes anymore.
Jian Yun fell to the ground in agony and started rolling on the ground non-stop.
The surrounding onlookers turned pale with fright. How could they still care about Jian Hongxiao, all of them were looking toward Jian Yun in curiosity one by one.
Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan dumbfounded with his mouth agape, not expecting that he actually played this act.
And this Jian Yun actually really foolishly cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan.
Wasn’t this looking for abuse?
Forget about him right now, even if he was at his prime, he also would not dare to cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan!
“Senior, let’s go!” Ye Yuan smiled at Jian Hongxiao and said.
Jian Hongxiao had a moved look, he knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately causing a disturbance, diverting those people’s attention, letting them successfully get away.
Jian Hongxiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was interrupted by Ye Yuan. He said, “This place isn’t the place to speak, talk again later.”
The two people moved, but Jian Chen was still standing on the spot in a daze.
Jian Hongxiao heaved a sigh and turned around and left.
Smack!
Jian Chen’s shoulder was patted by Ye Yuan, making him jump.
“Sometimes, what the eyes see might not be real. But at times, what the eyes see is the most authentic. Therefore, don’t use eyes to see, use the heart to feel. Think about it, how Senior treated you these few years!”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan slowly left.
Jian Chen’s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing a complicated look. Finally, he still gritted his teeth and followed after.
…
Before the bed, an old man was currently diagnosing Jian Yun’s pulse. His brows were tightly locked.
“Master Bu Chen, I beg you, you must save me! I can’t become a blind person!” Jian Yun wailed.
“Shut up! Don’t disturb Master’s pulse-reading!” Jian Hao said in a solemn voice.
Jian Yun indeed did not dare to wail anymore, shutting his mouth sensibly.
After a long time, Bu Chen slowly got up and shook his head slightly.
Jian Hao was startled inwardly, hurriedly going up to ask, “Brother Bu Chen, how is it?”
Bu Chen shook his head and said, “I’m afraid this pair of eyes are crippled!”
Jian Hao’s heart thumped and he said, “How … can this be? Yun-er only used the aura viewing art a little and his eyes are crippled?”
Bu Chen said, “This is Heavenly Dao backlash. Furthermore, it’s extremely strong. With this old man’s strength, I’m powerless to turn the tables.”
Jian Hao said in shock, “How can it be? You’re the person with the strongest alchemy strength in the city, if even you’re helpless, then … then … oh, right, since it’s Heavenly Dao backlash, can the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill save him?”
Bu Chen shook his head and said, “With this old man’s judgment, I’m afraid that the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill is powerless to turn the tables too. Unless … one can refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill!”
Jian Hao took several steps back in the row when he heard that, saying absent-mindedly, “This … How is this possible? Just taking one look and the Heavenly Dao backlash would be so severe?”
Jian Hao regretted it until his intestines turned green now. He only wanted to let his son go and humiliate Jian Hongxiao, making him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.
Who would have thought that he actually harmed his own son to become a blind person!
This level of Heavenly Dao backlash was akin to bone-festering maggots. Even if a new pair of eyes were swapped in, it was to no avail too. This problem was the hardest to deal with.
Members of the Jian Family feared this level of Heavenly Dao backlash the most.
It was just that Jian Hao could not understand even after cudgeling his brain. Why would it cause such severe consequences with just having one glance?
Chapter 1959. The City Lord Wants to See Him |
“Thank you, Ye Yuan,” Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior, don’t your Jian Family revere the Profound Secrets Pavilion as supreme? What’s this Stellar Hall?”
Actually, Ye Yuan did not figure out just what was the Stellar Hall until now too.
Jian Hongxiao said, “The Stellar Hall is where the core of the Profound Secrets Pavilion lies. Those able to enter it are all one-in-ten-thousand powerhouses, having outstanding strength in the Dao of Divination. And the Stellar Hall’s elders, there are only a total of eight. Only the strongest ones can assume the post.”
Ye Yuan nodded slightly, roughly understanding in his heart.
Although the Heavenspan World was big, the great imperial capitals that the Jian Family occupied were not their own. Those able to enter the Stellar Hall were all elites among elites, having outstanding talent in the Dao of Divination.
No wonder Jian Hongxiao back then gave him an unfathomable feeling.
Even if his cultivation realm fell drastically, his divination arts were still unfathomable. It was far from what those in the same rank could compare to.
“A Stellar Hall, only great imperial capitals have it. Furthermore, in each Stellar Hall, there’s a peak empyrean spirit treasure, the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere. The Stellar Hall’s responsibility is to borrow the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere to deduce Heavenly Dao. Each Stellar Hall elder manages one aspect of the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere, their responsibilities being enormous,” Jian Hongxiao continued saying.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “So that’s how it is! That Jian Yun has a grudge with you?”
Jian Hongxiao smiled bitterly and said, “Jian Yun’s father, Jian Hao, was always suppressed by me back then. Because there can only be eight Stellar Hall elders, so he was never able to become an elder. As for that Jian Yun, I had once divined for him before and said that he’ll never amount to much. So this father and son pair have always had some resentment towards me.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I’m afraid it’s not resentment that simple. That Jian Hao should be afraid of you snatching his position of elder, right?”
Jian Hongxiao nodded and said, “With Jian Yun’s skill, he can’t divine my return. Most likely, this matter has Jian Hao’s hand involved. But with this play, Jian Yun will likely really become a cripple.”
As these two people chatted, Jian Chen at one side wanted to speak but swallowed the words back.
Ye Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said, “Senior, the urgent matter on hand is that we’d better think of a way to get the pill formula fast.”
Jian Hongxiao said in surprise, “You still want to refine pills for me?”
“B-But you’re also aware, I’m the Stellar Hall’s sinner!” Jian Hongxiao said.
He even thought that through this incident, Ye Yuan probably would not refine pills for him anymore at all.
After all, his unsavory past was exposed by people.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still insisted on refining pills for him.
But Ye Yuan gave Jian Chen a glance and said smilingly, “So what? You’re the senior that I, Ye Yuan, acknowledged, and you are a friend of mine. You showed kindness to me, Ye Yuan. The rest has nothing to do with me! Even if you become enemies with the world, this pill … I’m refining for sure!”
Jian Hongxiao and Jian Chen’s faces changed greatly when they heard that.
They did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so loyal to friends.
Jian Hongxiao was even more touched in his heart, tears already running down his old face.
When you stand opposite of everyone in the world and someone stood on your side with a firm determination, that sensation could not be described using words.
Actually, about this matter, Ye Yuan had his own judgment. Most likely, Jian Hongxiao had some painful topic. It was just that it was hard for him to say it out.
Walking all the way to this point, Ye Yuan was no longer some ignorant person anymore. He still had some confidence in discerning people.
Jian Hongxiao did not seem to be someone who had utter disregard for human life when doing things and facing people, and also did not have too much sinister air.
Activating a forbidden art likely had other reasons.
Furthermore, this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital’s city lord still saved Jian Hongxiao’s life with the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill in the end. This also affirmed Ye Yuan’s idea from the side-view.
If Jian Hongxiao really activated the forbidden art for his own selfish reasons, that Empyrean powerhouses most likely would not have done that.
“Don’t you want to know what in the world happened back then?” Jian Hongxiao asked.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “If you’re willing to say, you’d naturally tell me. If you’re not willing to say, why would I need to go and pick at your scar?”
Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said with a sigh, “Making such a friend, what do I still need! Ye Yuan, from today onward, you and I are sworn friends for life!”
…
At this very moment, Jian Hao’s fury already burst through the horizon.
He could be said to have racked his brain for the sake of this son and even let him enter the Stellar Hall.
But in the end, Jian Yun was actually crippled!
To the Jian Family’s members, eyes being blinded was equivalent to being a cripple.
Six Veins Stellar Pill?
Jian Hao never even thought about it!
If there was such a medicinal pill, Jian Hongxiao also would not have left Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, feeling dejected back then.
A medicinal pill that even the city lord could not get, where would he go to get one?
“Dad, you have to take revenge for me! That old thing, and also that punk, they definitely deliberately harmed me!” Jian Yun roared.
Jian Hao gritted his teeth and said, “You rest assured, I’m going to make Jian Hongxiao that scoundrelly thing utterly disappear this time! Li Xun, bring a few people over for me and detained Jian Hongxiao three people over for me!”
Behind Jian Hao, a Seventh Firmament True God powerhouse received the order and left.
As a Stellar Hall elder, Jian Hao’s status was incomparably venerated. There was naturally no lack of some experts around him.
Li Xun picked out a few people and headed over to the inn that Ye Yuan three people were staying at.
“Jian Hongxiao, get out for me! You dared to hurt my Stellar Hall’s disciple, you deserve a thousand deaths!”
Outside the inn, Li Xun called out in a clear voice.
“Isn’t this Protector Li Xun who’s by Elder Jian Hao’s side? Who provoked them?”
“Tsk tsk, whoever it is, they will likely lose a layer of skin!”
“I heard that Elder Jian Hao’s only son, Jian Yun, suddenly became a blind man today. Could it have been done by this group of people?”
…
Outside the inn, everyone was guessing optimistic about it, all waiting to watch a show.
But no one came out and no one answered too.
Li Xun’s brows furrowed and he called out in a clear voice once more, “Fine, since you don’t know how to appreciate favors, then don’t blame us for not being courteous! The few of you guard outside, don’t let them run!”
Before Li Xun came, he understood the situation long ago. These three people were merely two First Firmament True Gods and a Celestial Deity. Him coming to capture people was bombarding mosquitoes with a cannon, putting fine timber to petty use.
But Jiao Hao was currently in a fit of rage, he naturally did not dare to be neglectful.
Bang!
Li Xun found the three people’s residence and directly shattered the door with a palm.
“Jian Hongxiao, what haughty airs you have. Do you really think that you’re still that Stellar Hall’s … E-Elder Suyan, w-why are you here?”
Inside the house, Jian Hongxiao was currently drinking opposite an old man, chatting away happily.
When Li Xun saw that old man, his expression immediately became very ugly. He was even somewhat stuttering when speaking.
This old man was called Jian Suyan, similarly a Stellar Hall elder.
However, Jian Suyan’s status was much more venerated than Jian Hao.
Because Jian Suyan was an Empyrean powerhouse!
Jian Suyan drank a mouthful of tea and said without even turning his head back, “You go back and tell Jian Hao. Tell him not to have ideas about Hongxiao anymore, the city lord wants to see him.”
Chapter 1960. I Can't Give You |
“Why would the city lord meet him? Furthermore, it’s even Lord Jian Suyan going to invite personally? Could it be … they are going to let him enter the Stellar Hall anew?”
Hearing the news that Li Xun brought back, Jian Hao’s thoughts could not help going wild.
Indeed, during the period where Jian Hongxiao held the position of Stellar Hall’s elder, the city lord thought very highly of him.
Meeting Jian Hongxiao again this time, could it be that he wanted to call him back anew?
If this was the case, it was really quite troublesome!
“This … it’s not what this lowly one can know.” Li Xun said awkwardly.
Jian Hao’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and he said viciously, “What about that punk who caused Yun-er to become like this? Why wasn’t he captured here too? He’s the prime culprit! Capture him here for me immediately!”
Jian Hongxiao had Jian Suyan protecting him. Jian Suyan was not what he, Jian Hao, could offend. But Ye Yuan was different.
Li Xun said with a gloomy face, “This lowly one wanted to bring him away too, but … but Elder Suyan said that City Lord wants to see him too!”
“What?! What’s City Lord meeting this punk for? Could it be that … this punk has some background?” When Jian Hao heard this, he could not help jumping in fright.
Li Xun thought about it and said, “Elder, Young Master Yun only took one look at that kid and suffered Heavenly Dao backlash. Is it possible that … that kid really has some aspect that surpasses others?”
Jian Hao’s brows knitted even tighter. He pondered carefully, the more he thought, the more terrified he got.
“Although Yun-er’s aura viewing art is still lacking, he’s also a True God Realm powerhouse. Even if it’s the imperial aura, it’s also impossible to have such a huge backlash appear. Could it be that … that kid possesses the emperor
surmounting aura? Furthermore, it’s even a powerful existence among emperor surmounting auras? But … But how is this possible?”
Originally, because of Jian Yun’s backlash, Jian Hao was burning in rage and did not carefully think about this matter at all.
But now, calming down and thinking about it, he immediately detected something amiss.
He was a Stellar Hall elder, so how could he not be clear about the situation of the aura viewing art?
To talk about making Jian Yun suffer Heavenly Dao backlash, unless Ye Yuan was carrying some terrifying treasure on him, or he was in possession of tremendous destiny.
Regardless of which it was, Ye Yuan’s background was clearly not simple.
But the problem was, where did Jian Hao find this kid, and also, what was the objective of bringing him to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital?
Furthermore, City Lord even summoned this kid!
This matter was likely not that simple.
…
Walking into a vast hall, Ye Yuan felt as if he walked into a vast starry sky.
In the center of the starry star, there was an enormous, but exquisite apparatus, currently slowly revolving.
Ye Yuan sized the instrument up, feeling the powerful undulations coming off of the instrument, he guessed that this should be the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere.
A gray-robed old man sat before it, his body radiating countless pale-yellow fine threads, probing into the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere with a thousand and one links.
This old man gave Ye Yuan an incomparably deep feeling, just like this starry sky.
The other party was clearly not looking at him, but Ye Yuan actually had a feeling of being seen through.
After Jian Hongxiao entered this great hall, the expression on his face immediately became respectful, his body also seemingly becoming much stiffer.
Clearly, he held that old man in great esteem.
No idea how long had passed either, those fine threads slowly retreated into the old man’s body.
Jian Hongxiao bowed down rather agitatedly, shouting out, “Sinner Jian Hongxiao, pays respect to Lord Sutao!”
“Oh Hongxiao, long time no see,” the old man slowly said.
