Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

  Moreover, elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples were not unchanging. They would undergo ranking every two months. Those ranked near the back would be eliminated from entering the next level, while disciples who had outstanding performance but a lower rank will advance up a level.

  Hence, the number of elite disciples and core disciples were basically fixed!

  And outer-sect disciples who failed the assessment would end up doing miscellaneous affairs!

  Miscellaneous affairs did not have the slightest status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Every day, they had to do large numbers of miscellaneous stuff. There was simply not much time to cultivate.

  Amid the elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples, the treatment they enjoy also had an extremely huge difference!

  In the Dan Wu Academy, many of them were members of aristocrat families. To them, the use of academy resources made no difference.

  Wealth allowed willfulness!

  But that would not do in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

  The Tranquil Cloud Sect carried out a points system. To obtain corresponding cultivation resources in the academy, one had to use points to exchange.

  Without points, it was difficult to take a single step in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

  Points could not be bought with money. Only by making a certain level of contribution for the sect can one obtain the corresponding points.

  It could be seen from this system that trying to smoke your way through life in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was absolutely impractical! Only by constantly cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating, could one plant their footing firmly in the sect!

  The sect did not raise a single trash!

  Yao Qian glimpse at the two of them indifferently and said, “Both finished reading the sect’s rules? I can tell you two that with your current strength, you’re actually only capable of ranking in at roughly the middle of the outer-sect disciples. There’s still some distance away from core disciple. Especially Ye Yuan. You’re only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. You’re probably at the bottom even among the outer-sect disciples. Hence, you two had better grasp your time tightly to cultivate more if you want to get the appropriate resources. Or else, you will be eliminated in the first sect competition. That would also leave Yunhe without any face, right?”

  Hearing Yao Qian say so, Long Tang looked at Ye Yuan rather odd expression.

  Ye Yuan’s strength could only be at the bottom of the barrel among the outer-sect disciples? This Yao Qian definitely did not know the fearful aspect of Ye Yuan!

  Even though he himself broke through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, he also did not dare say that he can certainly win Ye Yuan! Even if he only had the strength of the middle reaches of the outer-sect disciples, Ye Yuan was definitely roughly the same as him.

  Being at the bottom was impossible!

  Additionally, with Ye Yuan’s improvement speed, he would most likely steady his footing very soon among the core disciples after entering the sect, right?

  Yao Qian saw Long Tang’s expression and said carelessly, “You guys still don’t have too clear an understanding about the might of the sect disciples. I just wish to tell you, don’t be naïve enough to think that you can leap ranks to battle. You two will only realize just how small and weak you are after entering the Tranquil Cloud Sect!”

  Long Tang’s heart jolted when he heard that, but Ye Yuan laughed and said, “Lord Yao Qian really likes to worry. If you have much spare time, why not educate that incompetent disciple of yours. I think that with his standards, we’re still barely passable to make it as core disciples after going to the sect.”

  Chapter 188

  Yao Qian’s eyes revealed a trace of cold light.

  Evidently, he was truly infuriated by Ye Yuan repeatedly making light of him.

  Yao Qian’s status in the sect was not low. Disciples would be most respectful when they saw him. Since when did anyone dare to rebuke him so?

  Ye Yuan hadn’t even entered the sect yet currently. If he were to enter, what would happen?

  Of course, he definitely would not reflect on himself. It was him who provoked Ye Yuan in the first place.

  “Haha, good! Very good! Ye Yuan, with your current realm, you only have the right to be at the bottom when you enter the Martial Hall. But your Alchemy Path talent is not bad. If you enter the Pill Hall, perhaps you can retain the opportunity to be a core disciple. However, I’m afraid that I have not told you this yet. My identity in the sect is . . . a Pill Hall Elder!”

  Yao Qian’s words were a blatant threat.

  The meaning of his words was crystal clear. After you enter the sect, make sure you don’t fall into my hands!

  Naturally, with Ye Yuan’s Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, he could only be sent to become an outer-sect disciple if he entered the Martial Hall. At that time, would it not be a matter of a word from Yao Qian to knead him however he wished?

  Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, “Oh yeah? Looks like to avoid Elder Yao, I can only enter the Martial Hall. Uh, that’s also pretty good. With your standard of teaching disciples, wouldn’t I be delayed to death if I enter the Pill Hall?”

  “Alright, Ye Yuan, say a few sentences less! Elder Yao Qian, Ye Yuan, he . . .”

  Jiang Yunhe saw Ye Yuan rebuking Yao Qian again and could not resist reprimanding him.

  Except, at this time, Yao Qian suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, “Dean Jiang, you really taught a fine student! I think that with your merits, you can forget about getting the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation in this lifetime! Humph!”

  Finishing, Yao Qian ignored Jiang Yunhe’s persuasion to stay and directly left.

  Jiang Yunhe glared fiercely at Ye Yuan, but finally said powerlessly, “You this punk, why are you so adept at causing trouble?! Ignoring that you turned the whole academy upside down, you haven’t even entered the sect, and you already offended a sect elder! Wait until you enter the sect and you’ll get it! In this place, there’s at least your father’s backing. But after entering the sect, you’ll find no kin to turn to. At that time, who can protect you?”

  Huyan Yong also furrowed his brows and said, “That’s right, Ye Yuan. A man knows when to yield and when not to. After your power becomes great and you advance to elite disciple, you wouldn’t need to see Yao Qian’s mood anymore. Why offend him now?”

  “Haha, that Yao Qian and Yang Hao were obviously targeting me. Even if I make concessions for the general interest, will they let me off? Not necessary, right? This kind of people, if they are offended, then let them be offended. No big deal. Rather, Lord Dean, what the meaning of the Purple Center Soul Incantation Yao Qian spoke of just now? Listening to its name, it should be a soul cultivation method, right?” Ye Yuan said without a care.

  Jiang Yunhe let out a sigh and knew deep down that what Ye Yuan said was reasonable.

  He was much clearer on Yao Qian’s past history than Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong. In reality, he was still holding onto the mentality of hoping that there was a chance both parties would be amicable.

  Who knew that Yao Qian simply did not give him any face, putting Ye Yuan down the moment he arrived.

  But the pitiable thing was that the blow did not work. Instead, it broke his teeth.

  “What you said is right. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is a soul cultivation method, and it is also the strongest soul cultivation incantation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Those elders in the Pill Hall basically all train in this soul incantation. I’m the same. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is split into two parts. The first half can allow alchemists to train to the Alchemy Grandmaster realm, while the second half can train to the Alchemy Sovereign! But the sad thing is that ever since Patriarch Ouyang Tuotian, the Tranquil Cloud Sect never had anyone who could cultivate to the Alchemy Sovereign realm.”

  Jiang Yunhe’s eyes were full of regrets. He clearly revered Ouyang Tuotian very much
.

  Consolidating the words Yao Qian left behind before he left, Ye Yuan immediately understood in his heart. “Lord Dean came to the State of Qin’s Dan Wu Academy to hold a post for earning points to exchange for the lower half of this Purple Center Soul Incantation?”

  Jiang Yunhe nodded bitterly and said, “That’s right. I was born in the Pill Hall. Before coming to the State of Qin, I was a deacon in the Pill Hall. The point requirement for the Purple Center Soul Incantation is too much. With my status and identity in the sect, it was simply impossible to earn so many points. Hence, I planned for this outside job. Initially, I thought that I could raise a few talents for the sect. But who would have thought that after coming to the State of Qin for so many years, the Dan Wu Academy had never improved. In these few years, only Mo Yuntian, this one genius appeared. But this time, you and Long Tang appeared at once. Two geniuses who crossed the Nine Heavens Road. I was elated in my heart. But I didn’t think that this was the outcome . . .”

  After a short pause, Jiang Yunhe continued, “After the two of you enter the sect, Ouyang Ming and Yao Qian will definitely find ways to suppress you. Therefore, you must tuck your tails and behave! Especially Ye Yuan. I know that you’re peerlessly talented, but your present cultivation realm is too low. There’s something Yao Qian said that was right. The might of the sect’s disciples is something you guys can’t imagine! So, you two need to raise your cultivation realms as soon as possible to solidify your position as core disciples, understood?”

  “Ouyang Ming?” Ye Yuan went blank when he heard that.

  “That’s right. Ouyang Ming holds enormous power in the sect’s Pill Hall. And Ouyang Mind is also a Pill Hall elder on friendly terms with Yao Qian.” Jiang Yunhe said.

  “Turns out that there’s such a level of relation huh. No wonder this old punk aimed for me right after he came.” Hearing Jiang Yunhe said something like that, Ye Yuan immediately understood the situation.

  “Looks like you already know the background of the Su Family, so there’s no need for me to remind you. However, the capital’s undercurrent is turbulent recently. Your father is also at the edge of the storm. You father and son still need to take precaution when doing things! In my opinion, your father should still take the initiative to withdraw from this whirlpool. Why be a pawn for the Imperial Family?”

  It was very plain that Jiang Yunhe knew the movements in the State of Qin like the back of his hand. It was just that his status was aloof and it was inconvenient to be involved.

  Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The grudge between our Ye Family, the Wan Family, and the Su Family is irreconcilable. Even if they didn’t stir up so much shit, these two families are destined to be destroyed!”

  Jiang Yunhe could not help sucking in a cold breath after hearing it. These words were domineering.

  Even he, Jiang Yunhe, dare not say to exterminate these two great families. But it was so natural coming from Ye Yuan’s mouth.

  One had to know that in these two great families, just the Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses were as many as three!

  And on Ye Yuan’s side, counting Nanfeng Yi and that Imperial Uncle from the Imperial Family that had not shown his face for a long time, was only three as well.

  Both parties were on par. Wanting to exterminate the other party was too difficult! What was Ye Yuan basing this on?

  “Ye Yuan, your future prospects are limitless. Don’t be reckless in doing things! Your strength is still not enough to make a splash in this storm. Don’t ruin your own magnificent future for these sort of secular world affairs!” Jiang Yunhe urged bitterly.

  Jiang Yunhe also clearly had his talent appreciating heart moved and did not wish for any accidents to befall Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan gave a bow to Jiang Yunhe and said, “Relax, Dean. I know what to do. Thanks for your care towards me this period of time! I’m going back to the capital tomorrow. After the capital’s affairs settle, I’ll come and bid farewell to dean again. As for the matter of Purple Center Soul Incantation, leave it to me!”

  Chapter 189

  “Leave it to you?” Jiang Yunhe went blank when he heard that.

  “That’s right! Isn’t the use of these outside dojos to dig for talents for the sect? As long as I can become an elite disciple, the merits for the dean will be about there already, right?” Ye Yuan said.

  “That might be true, but to become an elite disciple is too difficult, too difficult! I know that your talent is matchless, but the elite disciples in the sect, each and every one of their talent is not beneath yours!” Jiang Yunhe shook his head and said.

  Ye Yuan smiled but did not explain. Rather, it was Huyan Yong who voiced out at this time. He said, “Lord Dean, I, on the other hand, believe that Ye Yuan can become an elite disciple! Even though that Yao Qian kept harping on how Ye Yuan’s strength is too low, I feel that Ye Yuan can steady his footing among the core disciples very soon.”

  Jiang Yunhe revealed a strange expression. He had never seen Huyan Yong view a student so highly before.

  . . . . . .

  Leaving Jiang Yunhe’s place, Ye Yuan directly went to find Nanfeng Ruoqing.

  “Aunt, how is it, how is it? Did I become prettier yet?” Nanfeng Zhirou asked Nanfeng Ruoqing frantically.

  Ye Yuan had already helped her and Nanfeng Ruoqing refine the Beauty Retaining Pill. Right after consuming it, there was an indescribable feeling coursing through her veins. Her own body seemed to have undergone some sort of unspeakable transformation.

  Nanfeng Ruoqing carefully measured up Nanfeng Zhirou, then pinched her small cheeks and said in surprise, “This skin of yours is about to drip water! Touching it feels just like a newborn baby! Is this Beauty Retaining Pill really so miraculous?”

  Not that the State of Qin did not have beautifying medicinal pills, but the effects of those sort of pills were at most to delay aging. With the passage of time, it would still leave behind the vestige of time on people’s faces.

  Moreover, those type of medicinal pills tends to have side-effects here and there. As time passed, it would slowly surface.

  Even so, these type of medicinal pills still made some noble family women flock to them like ducks. More often than not, it could not be bought with money.

  For the Beauty Retaining Pill Ye Yuan refined to have such an effect, once it entered the market, it would surely soar to a sky-high price.

  “Ah! You look! The calluses on my hands also disappeared!” As she was talking, Nanfeng Zhirou waved her hands.

  Nanfeng Ruoqing gave a look, and it was real!

  Don’t think that Nanfeng Zhirou was a princess embodied in all manners of pampering. For the sake of pursuing the martial path, she suffered no little hardship. Due to her being a martial artist who used a sword, it was hard for her hands to avoid calluses after so many years.

  If one had to say the area which Nanfeng Zhirou was most displeased with herself, it would be this pair of hands. And now, her hands were fair and tender, impossibly fine. It was just like a young lady who grew up in a boudoir and completely unlike a martial artist’s.

  “I didn’t think that Ye Yuan could actually refine such a miraculous medicinal pill! And he even said that not only did this Beauty Retaining Pill have zero side-effects, it even has the effects of improving the constitution. Can a Tier 2 medicinal pill attain such results?” Nanfeng Ruoqing was filled with disbelief.

  She had always taken pride in her own Alchemy Dao attainments. But ever since meeting Ye Yuan, she knew that she was but a frog at the bottom of a well.

  “Ah, Aunty!” Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise again.

  “What are you freaking out over, you bloody lass?” Nanfeng Ruoqing spat.

  Nanfeng Zhirou moved closer to Nanfeng Ruoqing’s face and exclaimed, “Aunt, in the past, you don’t look like my aunt. Now, you look even less like my aunt!”

  “Damn lass, if I’m not your aunt, then who is?”

  “After you consumed the Beauty Retaining Pill, yo
u’re practically like my twin sister! Even though your age isn’t that old, you look much younger now!” Nanfeng Zhirou cried out in surprise.

  Ye Yuan refined a batch of Beauty Retaining Pills and gave Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece one each. Other than that, he also saved one for his mother and Lu-er.

  “Ah? Is that true?” Nanfeng Ruoqing touched her face and said in astonishment.

  “It’s true! More real than real gold! There’s a mirror here; quickly take a look!” Nanfeng Zhirou said and took a mirror, passing it over to Nanfeng Ruoqing.

  Nanfeng Ruoqing faced the mirror to have a look and then exclaimed in surprise, “It’s true! The current me looks like I returned back to two, three years ago; around the same age as you.”

  Even if Nanfeng Ruoqing’s personality was very quiet, she was still overjoyed right now. As long as one was a woman, they would not have any resistance towards becoming beautiful.

  “Hehe, when we go out next time, other people might think that you’re my older sister!” Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought about this scene and grinned from ear to ear.

  “Damn lass, no matter what I become, I’m still your aunt! If Imperial Brother heard these words, he would definitely confine you again!” Nanfeng Ruoqing glared.

  Nanfeng Zhirou stuck out her tongue mischievously.

  “En? Aunty, quickly look! Lu-er seems to be moving!” Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly cried out in joy.

  Hearing Nanfeng Zhirou’s shout, the two of them hurried over to the bed, only to see Lu-er’s eyelids moving slightly as if she was really about to wake up.

  Lu-er’s frost poison was very powerful. It was almost on the verge of erupting. Hence, she was still temporarily unable to awaken after swallowing the Essence Yang Pill.

  Ye Yuan already predicted earlier that it would take roughly another two, three days. Now, just over two days had passed, and Lu-er indeed woke up.

  Lu-er’s breathing became stable as she gradually opened her eyes. Her gaze was somewhat hazy.

  “I . . . Where am I? Could it be that I’m already dead?”
