Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

Ye Yuan was relieved hearing her reply. “Hahaha. Then it’s alright. Go outside and tell Father to wait a moment, I will be out after wearing my clothes.”

  Lu-er acknowledged his words and went out.

  . . . . . .

  Inside Ye Hang’s study room, the father-son pair sat down closely and started to talk.

  “Yuan-er, what you did today really vented my frustrations. I reckon Wan Donghai that old punk is probably thoroughly livid at the moment, right?Hahaha! It’s been so many years, and yet it’s the first time I’ve seen that old punk had to swallow such a grievance. How great!” Ye Hang laughed out loud.

  Clearly, Wan Donghai bullied him rather harshly these past few years with how Ye Hang was laughing so cheerfully. Although Ye Hang could stand it, he had never felt this frustration being vented out like today. Even though he was not the one who went up to smack Wan Donghai’s face, what was the difference between being smacked by his son and him?

  Seeing his father laughed merrily, Ye Yuan felt pleased. “Father, it was all thanks to what Master imparted to me in my dreams that I could make Wan Donghai that old punk suffered this grievance. I dare not claim any credit.”

  Ye Hang waved his hands dismissing Ye Yuan’s words. “No need to be so polite with your father. I’m thrilled that you possess your abilities today. But I still have to remind you once again; Wan Donghai that old punk is very insidious. Having suffered such a loss today, he wouldn’t be able to take it lying down. Who knows if he will come up with some underhanded measures? I can still guarantee your safety at home, but once you go to the Dan Wu Academy, Father’s hands wouldn’t be able to stretch that far. Yuan-er, how about you don’t attend the Dan Wu Academy anymore, and just stay at home?”

  Ye Yuan sighed in his heart. No wonder his predecessor was a good-for-nothing youth. Ye Hang’s overprotectiveness of his child was too extreme. Ye Yuan had no intention of becoming a caged canary; the Dan Wu Academy was a place he had to go to.

  “Father, I have to return to the Dan Wu Academy. Even if I stay at home, it is impossible to never leave home. I can hide for a while, but I can’t hide for a lifetime. Furthermore, if I stay at home and never leave, this life would be wasted. Even if Master teaches me skills, without contending with rivals and getting affirmation, I will never become an expert. Don’t you agree?”

  In Ye Yuan’s eyes, Wan Donghai could not even be considered as an opponent. If he could not even make it pass Wan Donghai, this hurdle, how would he slaughter his way back to the Divine Realm? Only by attending the Dan Wu Academy and competing with other geniuses of his generation that Ye Yuan can grow up faster. Moreover, having a high cultivation realm did not mean combat prowess will also be high. In the cultivation world, there are too many examples of the weak defeating the strong; flowers in a greenhouse would never be fully mature.

  In his previous life, Qingyun Zi was a greenhouse flower. Although his cultivation realm was very high, his combat abilities were a complete mess; all because he experienced too few actual fights. In this life, being burdened with a blood feud, he naturally had to become ruthless with his own training.

  “This . . . Yuan-er does make sense. It is Father who was too protective. It’s just that you have to be careful outside there no matter what. If you encounter any problems, don’t be stubborn. Remember to come back and ask Father for assistance. Something like being poisoned to death, Father just doesn’t want to witness it for the second time.”

  “Relax Father. Since I didn’t die in this disaster, in the future, no one will be able to bully me anymore.” Ye Yuan unveiled a powerful self-confidence at this point. Ye Hang discovered that his son had really matured.

  “Good! My good son! Since when have the two of us feared anyone? Isn’t it just Wan Donghai? In the future, Father will definitely have him under these feet.” Influenced by Ye Yuan, Ye Hang felt his confidence swelled as well.

  Ye Yuan laughed silently in his heart. He was well aware of his father’s standards. There might come a day where he could surpass Wan Donghai, but there would be no way he could trample him under his feet. Of course, that was under the circumstance that Ye Yuan did not appear.

  With the current Ye Yuan, time was all it takes for Ye Hang to trample Wan Donghai underfoot.

  Just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, Ye Hang stopped him. Asking with a curious face, ” Oh right. What pill did you let that person eat today? To think it was so powerful. You are just at the First Level Essence Qi Realm. How did you manage to refine such a high-tier pill?”

  Ye Yuan discovered that Ye Hang was also an alchemy fanatic. Upon encountering any alchemy problems, he would become extremely studious. Evidently, this question had troubled him the entire day.

  In his opinion, a poison pill that could render Wan Donghai helpless definitely had to be Tier 3 and above. But Ye Yuan was clearly just at First Level Essence Qi Realm. It was impossible to refine a Tier 2 pill with this cultivation realm, not to mention Tier 3 and above.

  Even if Ye Hang pulled his hair out over this paradox, he still could not understand why. Now that he finished the heart-to-heart talk with his son, he could not bear it any longer and shamelessly asked.

  Towards his own father, Ye Yuan naturally did not hide anything. Beaming, he said, “Father, that pill is called Heart Inch Fissure. It’s not a high tier pill, but merely a Tier 1 pill. With my current standards, refining this pill is already at the limit.”

  Ye Hang’s smile froze on his face. A Tier 1 pill? How is that possible?!

  If these words did not come out from his son’s mouth, Ye Hang would not believe it even if the person beat him to death.

  “Ti-tier 1 pill?” Ye Hang swallowed hard and asked disbelievingly, “How could a Tier 1 pill be this amazing?”

  Ye Yuan took out a brush and paper and wrote down the pill formula for Heart Inch Fissure; he also included the refining method as well as things to take note of and then passed it to Ye Hang.

  Ye Hang carefully received the pill formula, treating it just like a treasure.

  Ye Yuan knew he probably would not see his father for a few days . . .

  The next day, Ye Yuan went to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion again.

  Ye Yuan could distinctly feel a difference in the way the employees looked at him. After yesterday’s event, everybody now looked at this super silkpants with admiration.

  Having enjoyed these looks too often in his past life, Ye Yuan naturally would not mind it too much. Today, he only came to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to collect medicinal herbs. Right now, Ye Yuan desperately needed to raise his strength, and the fastest way to increase his strength was undoubtedly by taking pills as a stimulant.

  Putting aside the ability of an Alchemy Emperor and not utilizing it, would that not make Ye Yuan a fool?

  There were countless pill formulas inside Ye Yuan’s mind, but the medicinal pills he could refine at the moment were too few. He was only able to refine Tier 1 medicinal pills, and that was only by using his powerful soul as support. Otherwise, with his First Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation, he would not even be able to refine out medicinal dregs.

  Using an entire night to search for Tier 1 medicinal pills in his memories, Ye Yuan still felt that among all the pills, a type of high-grade Tier 1 pill called Explosive Yuan Pill was the most suitable for him.

  Explosive Yuan Pill, as the name suggested, was a medicinal pill that explosively increased essence energy.

  Tier 1 pills which could increase essence energy to aid cultivation and currently was circulating in the market was the Essence Qi Pill. It was suitable for Essence Qi Realm martial artists. However, ordinary martial artists could not even consume medicinal pills of such quality; instead, increasing their strength by going through great pains to bitterly cultivate essence energy by themselves.

  A single Essence Qi Pill could save a martial artist several months of intense cultivation. If one could us
e Essence Qi Pill to cultivate, then reaching the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was only a matter of time. However, people who could expend Essence Qi Pills in such a manner were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns. Only the Imperial Family and the descendants of major noble families could afford to do so.

  Ye Yuan naturally could afford it. But to him, Essence Qi Pill was too weak, completely unable to achieve the effect he desired.

  Although an Essence Qi Pill was good, the effects would be severely reduced from overconsumption. His predecessor actually ate a lot of Essence Qi Pills, but he did not refine the medicinal effects of the Essence Qi Pills entirely at all, leading to a considerable amount of essence energy dissipated from his body. As a result, Essence Qi Pill already did not have much of an effect on Ye Yuan.

  But the Explosive Yuan Pill was an upgraded version of the Essence Qi Pill, with several times the medicinal effects of the latter. It was naturally the most appropriate choice for Ye Yuan to use in order to raise his strength. Of course, Ye Yuan had even more amazing pill formulas. It was just those pill formulas were either too high-tier or their medicinal effects were too powerful, making it unsuitable for the current Ye Yuan. Refining those pills after Ye Yuan’s strength improved would only be a matter of course.

  “Young Master, are you also here today to get medicines?”

  The shopkeeper saw Ye Yuan walking in and immediately greeted him with a smile as if he were a different person than he was yesterday.

  Ye Yuan did not point it out but simply replied with a smile, “Yes. These are the medicinal herbs I require. Help me prepare three sets of each medicinal herb.”

  Ye Yuan handed the shopkeeper a prescription list as he spoke. Written on it were the names of medicinal herbs that the Explosive Yuan Pill requires. Even though Explosive Yuan Pill was much more precious than Essence Qi Pill, the herbs used were only Tier 1 medicinal herbs and were available for purchase at any ordinary shop. As the largest medicinal herb business within the capital, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion naturally had the goods.

  The shopkeeper swept a look over Ye Yuan’s prescription and started to frown. Ye Yuan asked curiously, “Why? Anything wrong?”

  “Young Master, the medicinal herbs listed on this prescription, everything is fine, except for this Six Leaf Grass . . .”

  The shopkeeper revealed a difficult expression.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan was even more surprised. “According to what I know, even though this Six Leaf Grass is a little rare, it is still a commonly seen medicinal herb. It can’t be that our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is unable to produce three portions of it?”

  The shopkeeper gave a bitter laugh and said, “Young Master, of course, we have Six Leaf Grass. But we normally wouldn’t stock up too much of such medicinal herbs, with precisely just three portions all inside the storeroom. Unfortunately, all three portions of Six Leaf Grass were reserved by someone yesterday, with the deposit already paid.”

  At this point, the shopkeeper snuck a look to assess Ye Yuan, terrified that the latter would fly into a rage. This little ancestor was not someone that can be easily dealt with. If he were dissatisfied, he might just raise such a fearful din which can cause fowls and dogs having no peace. Ye Yuan’s performance yesterday was very eye-catching; rivers and mountains might change, but it was hard to alter a man’s nature. God knows if he might lose his temper because of this.

  Seeing Ye Yuan remained unperturbed, the shopkeeper finally relaxed, thinking to himself could this little ancestor really have changed his personality?

  “Who reserved the medicine?”

  “A youth about the same age as Young Master. Furthermore, he needed it very urgently,” the shopkeeper replied with trepidation.

  Nodding his head, Ye Yuan said, “What time did he say he will come to collect the medicine? I wish to have a chat with him.”

  Hearing this, the shopkeeper jumped in fright thinking that Ye Yuan wanted to force people to cancel the reservation. Once something like this was done, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.

  Seeing through his concerns, Ye Yuan assured him and said, “Relax, I won’t mess around.”

  The shopkeeper right now could not tell if this little ancestor really changed his personality or not, but seeing that Ye Yuan had no intention of leaving, it looks like he was hell-bent on getting those three stalks of Six Leaf Grass.

  “He said he will come to collect it early in the morning. With how anxious he was, most likely he’s about to arrive?” Feeling helpless, the shopkeeper could only tell the truth.

  “Alright. Then I will wait for him here.” Ye Yuan found a place to sit down quietly, closing his eyes to meditate while ignoring the perturbed shopkeeper.

  The shopkeeper gave a sigh and just let Ye Yuan be, praying that this little ancestor would not cause any trouble. It was not that he was worried about Ye Yuan, but it was just that in the past Ye Yuan had left way too strong of an impression on everyone.

  After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ye Yuan who had his eyes closed suddenly heard an urgent-sounding voice.

  “Shopkeeper, I’m here to collect the Six Leaf Grass I reserved yesterday.”

  “This . . .” The shopkeeper once again revealed a difficult expression.

  The person was a youth around the age of 15 or 16 years old. Upon seeing the shopkeeper’s expressions, he exclaimed anxiously, “Shopkeeper, we agreed on it yesterday, and you even took the deposit. You can’t go back on your words!”

  “We naturally wouldn’t go back on our words after collecting a deposit. It’s just that I wanted to ask this brother, what’s your purpose for buying this Six Leaf Grass?”

  The one who spoke was naturally Ye Yuan.

  Turning his head around only to see a youth around the same age as him, dressed in silk clothing, he naturally did not have a good reaction. “What does it have to do with you?”

  The shopkeeper jumped in fright. To dare to provoke this little ancestor, is this youth tired of living? Just as he was about to speak up, he was stopped by the expression in Ye Yuan’s eyes.

  Beaming, Ye Yuan said, “Of course it’s none of my business. I was just curious why did you buy medicinal herbs instead of a finished product. Could it be that you wanted to refine them yourself? There are three types of Tier 1 pills which require the Six Leaf Grass to refine, so let me make a guess. The first one is the Heavenly Spiritual Pill, a pill meant for impacting through the Spirit Condensation Realm. You are only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, so it’s most likely not this sort of pill. The second type is the Pure Heart Pill, a pill used to maintain clarity of the mind and to chase away Heart Demons. It is suitable for use when assaulting bottlenecks. Looking at how you’re not at a bottleneck, it’s most likely not this pill. There’s still one more type called the Great Returning Pill, a sacred Tier 1 healing medicine. Looking at how anxious you are, could it be that a loved one was badly injured, and this person requires this particular pill to save his life?”

  The youth’s jaw dropped, looking at Ye Yuan with shock. He was shocked by Ye Yuan’s profound medicinal knowledge but even more astonished by Ye Yuan’s torch-like eyes.

  Ye Yuan’s analysis was as if he saw it with his own eyes, and the truth was precisely what Ye Yuan had said.

  The youth was called Tang Yu and was at the same Dan Wu Academy as Ye Yuan. But the difference was that Ye Yuan got in through connections, while Tang Yu relied on his own abilities to get into the Dan Wu Academy.

  In reality, the majority of the geniuses at the Dan Wu Academy were from noble families. Only a very small number of these geniuses came from ordinary backgrounds. Noble families had the advantage in terms of resources which the masses did not; a disparity that no amount of hard work could change. Geniuses with ordinary backgrounds already lost from the starting line.

  Techniques, me
dicinal pills, and money. The nobility possessed the advantages that commoners could never attain even if they worked hard their entire lives. That was the advantage accumulated after generations.

  Tang Yu being able to enter the Dan Wu Academy as a commoner said a lot by itself. Being at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at his age was not considered outstanding, but he indeed was not mediocre.

  From the Third Level to the Fourth Level, there was quite a hurdle. Being able to cross that hurdle without depending on piles of resources showed that Tang Yu was very talented in the Martial Path.

  Naturally, there was no lack of personal hard work on Tang Yu’s part to have the strength he possessed today, as well as having entered the Dan Wu Academy. However, his father’s support was not to be overlooked.

  Tang Yu’s father was called Tang Zonghuai, an experienced demonic beast hunter. These few years, Tang Zonghuai braved untold dangers in the Endless Forest. All for the sake of a better future for his son.

  But eventually, a person would encounter ghosts if he walked around too often at night. This time around, Tang Zonghuai encountered a mighty demonic beast in the Endless Forest. Despite having narrowly escaped death, he suffered grievous injuries.

  Tang Yu was a sensible child. He saw with his own eyes the countless injuries that his father suffered all these years. Hence, as he pursued Martial Dao, he also aspired to become an alchemist all so he could help to treat his father’s injuries whenever necessary. If it was not for the time wasted on the Alchemy Path, it was possible Tang Yu’s accomplishments would be far beyond what it was today.

  However, being an alchemist was a profession which burned a lot of money; something that Tang Yu frankly could not support. Before entering the Dan Wu Academy, he had spent a considerable amount of time to understand theoretical knowledge, but his practical experience was nearly zero. Only after entering the Dan Wu Academy did he really have the chance to practice refining pills.

  Even so, what he learned was very shallow.
