Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Wan is panicking because of concern. From the way I see it, Ye Yuan only learned Instant Flash by a fluke. The only move he can rely on is most likely just this. Otherwise, why would he be rushing to the Scripture Library at this time? Just now, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan was only careless and didn’t use your full strength. That’s why he could get away. Even though Instant Flash is impressive, it is ultimately only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique and isn’t invincible.” Liu Ruoshui had already recovered from her astonishment and returned to being a soul-mesmerizing goddess.

  Wan Yuan had long lusted after Liu Ruoshui. Seeing Liu Ruoshui chased after him like this made him drunk with pleasure. Just now, he indeed had not used his full strength. It was about 70% power, yet Ye Yuan still managed to dodge it.

  However, strength was still the key to victory. Movement techniques were ultimately auxiliary. What Liu Ruoshui said was right. Instant Flash is not all-powerful. Naturally, some techniques could counter it.

  Except that this move from Ye Yuan raised Wan Yuan’s alert. He would have to go back and properly warn Fei Qingping to not underestimate his opponent.

  “Looks like Junior Apprentice Sister Liu’s heart is as clear as a mirror. This time around, no matter what, we can’t let this brat live on anymore. Looks like we have to go back and prepare a few hidden cards for Fei Qingping.”

  . . . . . .

  After Ye Yuan shook those two off, he went directly to the Scripture Library.

  As far as he was concerned, Ye Yuan did not mind revealing Instant Flash. That was not what he was relying on anyway. Furthermore, what he just displayed was only at the great success stage.

  Ye Yuan’s greatest reliance was naturally on the Absolute Yang Finger. But this technique could not be displayed in front of outsiders, or else he would get into a lot of trouble. Hence, he came to the Scripture Library in order to choose a martial technique.

  The martial techniques in the Scripture Library were not too profound. The Tranquil Cloud Sect naturally would not release profound martial techniques out into the secular world. But to Ye Yuan, these martial techniques were sufficient.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother, I would like to enter the Scripture Library to choose two martial techniques,” Ye Yuan requested and handed over his identity token to the Senior Apprentice Brother on duty.

  The Senior Apprentice Brother who was guarding the Scripture Library was Zhao Chunyang of the Earth Rank. When he saw the token with the symbol indicating Yellow Rank status, disdain could be seen from his eyes.

  The identity token was created by the Dan Wu Academy which represented one’s status as a student. As long as one inserted a bit of essence energy, one would be able to check the identity of the person the token belongs to.

  “Ye Yuan?” Zhao Chunyang seemed to feel that he heard that name somewhere before. After pondering a while, he came to a sudden realization and asked, “You are the academy’s last place, Ye Yuan?”

  Ye Yuan smiled and replied, “If there isn’t a second Ye Yuan, then that would be me.”

  Ye Yuan was not bothered by the title of the last place as that was all in the past.

  Hearing this, Zhao Chunyang became interested. Handing the token back to Ye Yuan, he held on to him and asked curiously, “You are a big favorite within the academy now. The last place actually dares to sign a life-and-death contract with others. Just what were you thinking?”

  Ye Yuan also did not intend to keep a distance away from Zhou Chunyang, so he smiled and answered, “Others already rode onto my head. I can’t possibly behave like a coward. Don’t you think so?”

  “Hahaha. That’s true. But your strength . . .” Zhao Chunyang was an outspoken person and was not afraid that other people would feel awkward.

  “Hahaha. That’s why I’m here to choose martial techniques.”

  “Sharpening your spear at the last moment, even if it’s not sharp, it is at least shiny. These words are not wrong, but there are only three days left. Isn’t that a little too short?”

  “That’s something that can’t be helped. I believe Senior Apprentice Brother is also aware that I neglected cultivation in the past which led to my poor foundation. Even if it is only three days, it is better than not doing anything. Isn’t that right?”

  Zhao Chunyang sized up Ye Yuan once again and suddenly smiled, and then he said, “Interesting. You seem to be quite different from the rumors. Go in then. You have two hours.”

  “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother.”

  Zhao Chunyang patted Ye Yuan’s shoulders and said with a smile, “Choose well. I will cheer for you when the time comes.”

  The Dan Wu Academy’s Scripture Library was divided into three sections. The second section was only opened for those who were in the Spirit Condensation Realm. The current Ye Yuan naturally had no right to enter.

  The first section collected Tier 1 martial techniques. It was just perfect for the current Ye Yuan to use.

  The entire section was packed with bookshelves. There were cultivation laws, martial techniques, as well as books related to Tier 1 Medicinal Pills. They were sorted out into categories and encompassed everything.

  These books were all stone rubbings. 1 The originals were naturally kept at Tranquil Cloud Sect Headquarters.

  Concerning cultivation laws, Ye Yuan was already cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Naturally, there wasn’t any need to cultivate others.

  And these books on medicinal pills did not even count as introductory to Ye Yuan. So they were automatically filtered out by him.

  Only Tier 1 martial techniques were useful to the current Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan went to the area of bookshelves where martial techniques were kept and started to search for a martial technique suitable for him.

  Casually picking up a book, he saw Blazing Palm was written on it. It was a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique with fire attribute.

  Flipping through the contents, Ye Yuan shook his head. This sort of martial technique was too crude. There was no depth at all, and the power was too weak as well.

  Even though the book bragged until flowers were cascading from the sky, with Ye Yuan’s insights, why would he eye this sort of martial technique?

  Placing the Blazing Palm book back onto the shelf, Ye Yuan casually looked through several martial techniques. They were mainly martial techniques on the same level as Blazing Palm, flashy without substance.

  As time slowly passed, Ye Yuan already looked through several dozen books, yet not even a single one entered his eyes.

  Ye Yuan could not help but sigh, thinking that this Tranquil Cloud Sect was so stingy, using these common goods to put up a front.

  But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Cultivation laws and martial techniques were the foundation of a sect. How could truly important cultivation laws be casually placed out in the secular world?

  Ye Yuan knew that it was impossible to find a martial technique he wanted on this rack of shelves, so he walked deeper in.

  The martial techniques on this rack of shelves were clearly much lesser, but the quality increased by a grade. They basically reached high-grade Tier 1.

  Flipping through several books, Ye Yuan still did not encounter anything he was satisfied with.

  It was not that he had nothing better to do, but instead, he wanted to see if there were any beneficial insights within these martial techniques.

  To Ye Yuan, a middle-grade Tier 1 and a superior-grade Tier 1 did not have too much of a difference. A lower grade martial technique might not be bad, while a higher grade martial technique might not be good.

  Just take Instant Flash for instance. It was only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique, but this martial technique had some distinctive aspect. So Ye Yuan tinkered with it.

  Ye Yuan had just seen this Instant Flash martial technique. Briefly skimming through i
t, he knew that the insight of its creator was still too low. What he had altered was already much stronger than what was written in the book. Obviously, there wasn’t any more meaning to researching it.

  Walking further in, there were no longer books on the shelves but a scattered bunch of jade pieces. Ye Yuan know that this was where the essence of the first layer laid.

  Highly profound martial techniques could not be recorded down on paper. Only jade pieces could record or replicate it.

  Ye Yuan used his essence energy to inspect several jade pieces. These martial techniques were all high-grade Tier 1 martial techniques. These were actually already very rare.

  Any single piece of these jade, when placed in the outside world, were objects worth cities. After all, Essence Qi Realm martial artists made up the largest portion of the population in the State of Qin, and the vast majority of them cultivated either low-grade or middle-grade martial techniques.

  One high-grade martial technique jade piece to them was something they could only dream of. It was enough for their strength to immediately increase by one stage.

  However, Ye Yuan did not have much interest in these high-grade martial techniques. He only looked a while before putting them back.

  Ye Yuan had already walked to the deepest part of the first layer. If he still could not find a martial technique he was satisfied with, he could only settle with these high-grade martial techniques.

  On the last shelf were only three jade pieces.

  Clearly, these three jade pieces were not the same as the others.

  Ye Yuan picked up the first jade piece, injected essence energy, and the information within the jade piece reflected in Ye Yuan’s mind.

  Thousand Feet Leap, a movement technique!

  When mastered to the large success stage, it could shrink the distance to inches and traverse a thousand feet in an instant.

  “A bit interesting.”

  Ye Yuan inspected the details of the Thousand Feet Leap. This movement technique had its unique points. Compared to Instant Flash, the Thousand Feet Leap’s movement in a straight line was more outstanding. It was somewhat useful regardless of whether using it to sneak attack or flee.

  This movement technique already reached the superior-grade Tier 1.

  Placing the Thousand Feet Leap jade piece back on the shelf, Ye Yuan picked up a second jade piece. It was a rarely seen lightning-attribute martial technique which was extremely difficult to learn. Grade wise, it was similar to the Thousand Feet Leap.

  Although it might be difficult, it did not draw much interest from Ye Yuan.

  He casually picked up the third jade piece and investigated it.

  “En? Stacking Waves Layered Palm . . . Incomplete martial technique? Estimated to be at least Tier 3 and above. It’s just that it is incomplete, causing its current grade to fall to the high-grade Tier 1 category?”

  Ye Yuan was attracted by the jade piece’s introduction.

  But it was not because this martial technique’s grade was high. Tier 3 martial techniques were not exactly high-tier martial techniques to Ye Yuan.

  What truly attracted him was that this martial technique was a martial technique that paid great attention to the way strength was utilized. When mastered, it could release multiple times, even several dozen times of one’s power. The might of it was very substantial.

  The introduction on this jade piece should have been left behind by a powerful figure from either the Tranquil Cloud Sect or the Dan Wu Academy. If one could execute this technique to its limits, jumping ranks during battle would simply be like eating rice and drinking water.” Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.

  Naturally, Ye Yuan also knew that this kind of martial technique would become harder to improve on as it progressed further. The difficulty of it would increase multiple times.

  Simply put, it was easy to release twice the power. But the difficulty would increase for four times. After that, it becomes eight times, 16 times, and even 32 times. The further one advanced, the more terrifying it became. Naturally, the difficulty would also become increasingly immense.

  Even so, this was a rather amazing martial technique. But sadly, it was way too incomplete.

  . . . . . .

  “En? You chose this martial technique?” Looking at the martial technique Ye Yuan chose, Zhao Chunyang was very surprised.

  “That’s right.” Ye Yuan long knew that Zhao Chunyang would be shocked.

  “But . . . This martial technique might be powerful, but it’s incomplete.”

  Zhao Chunyang tried persuading Ye Yuan.

  “I know, but this martial technique looks very impressive. I will put up with it first. We will talk about it again in the future,” Ye Yuan smiled and then replied him.

  “Not only it is incomplete, but also exceedingly difficult to learn. You know Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang, don’t you? He also once tried to learn this technique, but in the end, he gave up. This technique looks amazing, but it’s an arduous yet fruitless labor. Three days . . . Even if you are brilliant, at best you can learn the First Layer Wave. It wouldn’t be much use against your opponent, right?”

  Actually, Zhao Chunyang’s words were already very implicit. In his opinion, even if Ye Yuan spent a month’s time, he might not be able to learn the First Layer Wave.

  What was the concept of the First Layer Wave? Just the increment of two times the power simply could not compensate for the difference in strength between Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping.

  Rather than that, it might be better to just learn a more practical martial technique.

  Ye Yuan had a rather good impression towards this Zhao Chunyang. At least he did not see himself as a joke like the others. So he smiled and then said, “Many thanks for your concern, Senior Apprentice Brother. But I have my own plans. As for the deathmatch three days from now, I think I can handle it.”

  “This . . . Alright then. Since you insist, I will not persuade you anymore. Try your best.” Zhao Chunyang shook his head and could only sigh.

  Chapter 28

  At a hidden location in the Dan Wu Academy.

  Two people were currently discussing in a low voice.

  “Qingping, what do you think about your deathmatch with Ye Yuan?”

  “What’s there to think about? Just kill him! This punk’s life is really tough! The last time he was sent back, he was already not breathing. Who would have thought that after a few days, he would be alive and kicking? This time, I will definitely not give him any chance.”

  Fei Qingping’s words were filled with contempt as if full of disdain towards Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan and Wan Yuan grew up competing with one another, so the latter was also naturally very clear on Ye Yuan’s nature as well as his strength. Therefore, he did not feel any burden to kill Ye Yuan during the deathmatch.

  With regards to Wan Yuan’s question, Fei Qingping felt that it was very unusual, so he could not help but asked, “Young Master Wan, listening to your words, you can’t possibly be thinking that I will lose to him during this battle, right?”

  Wan Yuan frowned and said, “I would not go so far as to say lose to him. I just feel that this time around, after Ye Yuan returned, he is rather unusual. Like . . . somewhat different from the past.”

  ” Sigh. I was wondering what it was. Of course, he’s different, but isn’t it just rising by two minor realms? However, from the way I see it, he will probably stay like this for the rest of his life. Hahaha! ”

  Although Fei Qingping was older than Wan Yuan by two years, he always treated the latter as the boss.

  Seeing how Fei Qingping was looking down on Ye Yuan like that, Wan Yuan felt that it was very inappropriate, and wanted to rebuke him. Yet, he also felt that Fei Qingping’s opinion was correct.

  That joke who was like rotten mud that could not even support a wall; could he overturn the heaven?

  Although Fei Qingping was not some extraordinary talent, he w
as an experienced Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist, merely a step away from the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.

  The Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm and the Third Level Essence Qi Realm were not even on the same level. Thus, Fei Qingping had a good reason to look down on Ye Yuan.

  This small step was not so easy to cross over.

  The Dan Wu Academy was an academy for elites. Practically anyone here, when placed in the outside world, could jump ranks during battle.

  The resources they enjoyed, martial skills and techniques they learned, as well as guidance from accomplished teachers, all of these were not what those from the outside world could compare with.

  However, within the Dan Wu Academy, jumping ranks during a battle was a challenging thing to do. Unless one really had extraordinary talent.

  If Long Tang or Feng Zhiruo was only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, Wan Yuan had no doubt that they could jump ranks to defeat Fei Qingping.

  But if it were Ye Yuan, even if he were to beat Wan Yuan to death, he would not believe it.

  Because he understood Ye Yuan too well!

  After a moment of silence, Wan Yuan still shook his head and said, “Qingping, the deathmatch this time, you can only win. Defeat will not be tolerated. Even if Ye Yuan is only a rat, you have to go all out to defeat him. Bear in mind that you must not take him lightly, understood?”

  Looking at Fei Qingping’s careless attitude regarding his words, Wan Yuan finally became angry. “If you still have this attitude, I will eliminate you first! You are not only representing yourself in this match. You will also be representing the Wan Family, the Drunken Star Manor! If you are defeated by Ye Yuan, where do you want my father and me to put our faces?!”

  Wan Yuan’s roar surprised Fei Qingping for a moment; his brain unable to react in time.

  But one thing was clear, and that was Wan Yuan really got angry!

  For Wan Yuan to be so concerned with Ye Yuan, that was something that had never happened before.
