Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

by Feng Yise 风一色

  Subsequently, there were lesser and fewer people asking for this mission. All the way until five years ago, where nobody touched this mission anymore.

  Now that he heard somebody took on this mission, he was naturally exuberant!

  Taking this mission after five years meant that there was somebody who overcame this difficult barrier and succeeded in completing the pill formula!

  How could this not agitate Skymaple?

  The gatekeeping disciple was grabbed by Skymaple till it hurt, but he did not dare to squeak.

  “Replying Grand Elder, the one who came is a young man. Looks like he had just entered the sect recently. I see that he’s only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and wearing Martial Hall disciple outfit, but a low-rank Alchemy Master badge is hanging on his chest.”

  The gatekeeping disciple spilled out everything that he saw. As for whether it was reliable or not, that would be up to the grand elder to determine.

  The way the gatekeeping disciple saw it, it was obviously unreliable!

  Indeed, with every sentence from the disciple, Skymaple’s face would darken a shade. By the time he said the last sentence, Skymaple was already about to storm off.

  However, his face was currently completely pitch-black. No matter how much darker his expression got, it was already impossible to tell.

  Skymaple suddenly raised his hands and tossed, throwing that gatekeeping disciple out far away.

  “Do you have a pig’s brain? This kind of rookie took the mission, and you also come and report to me? Make him scram back directly! You go back right now and send him packing with a flurry of sticks! Come and bother me again, and I’ll demote you to do a year’s worth of chores!” Skymaple virtually shouted these words at the top of his voice.

  Finishing, the gatekeeping disciple only heard a bang. The refining room’s door was shut again.

  Ye Yuan was presently looking forward to it, but when he saw the disciple come back with a dirt-covered face, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

  Indeed, when that gatekeeping disciple saw Ye Yuan, he waved his hands angrily and said, “Quickly leave, quickly leave! I say, what are you joining in the fun for? You caused me to be scolded by Grand Elder! You also don’t size yourself up before daring to accept a level nine mission. Can you, a low-rank Alchemy Master, settle a Tier 4 medicinal pill?”

  Ye Yuan was dumbfounded and said, “This Senior Apprentice Brother, can I trouble you to pass the word again? I can really complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula!”

  The gatekeeping disciple was currently down in the dumps, how could he listen?

  “Go, go, go! What are you still being pesky here for? Grand Elder Skymaple told me to send you packing with sticks. I already showed mercy. If you don’t leave, I’m really going to be impolite!”

  This gatekeeping disciple was at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm and simply did not place Ye Yuan in his sights.

  At first, he did not get cussed at by Skymaple, so he was still easier to talk to. Now, he did not even wish to respond to Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan did not think that this kind of situation would occur either. He brought along the pill formula but could not even enter the other party’s gates.

  However, he did not stoop to this gatekeeping disciple’s level. He gave a flattering smile and said, “Senior Apprentice Brother, as long as you help me pass along a sentence to Grand Elder, he’ll definitely meet me.”

  “Grand Elder already said not seeing means not seeing! What’s there to pass along? If you don’t leave, then I’m really not going to be courteous!” The gatekeeping disciple’s patience also reached its limits.

  Ye Yuan sighed and clasped his hands, saying, “Since that’s the case, Ye Yuan is going to offend you!”

  Finishing, Ye Yuan displayed the Spirit Void Shattering Space, drifting past the gatekeeping disciple’s body like a draft of a gentle breeze.

  By the time the gatekeeping disciple reacted, it was already too late. Ye Yuan was already a thousand feet away.

  The gatekeeping disciple was taken aback. If the grand elder were to know that somebody barged into the Skymaple Court, him doing a year of chores would be set!

  Thinking up to this point, he swiftly used his movement technique to chase after Ye Yuan.

  Two figures moved at high speeds in the Skymaple Court, one behind the other. But the distance between the two did not shrink from start to finish,

  Ye Yuan used sound to gauge the location. He knew where the refining room was from that cauldron exploding sound earlier.

  Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at the place. The gatekeeping disciple also followed tightly.

  The gatekeeping disciple was panting from exhaustion. Just now, he used all of his skills but was actually unable to reduce the distance between the two of them. Instead, he tired himself out.

  But he saw that Ye Yuan was composed and actually did not look the slightest bit exhausted.

  Was this boy really only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?

  Without waiting for him to recover from his astonishment, Ye Yuan gathered up essence energy and shouted loudly, “Grand Elder Skymaple, disciple Ye Yuan accepted the level nine No. 3 mission, and specially came forth to complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula.”

  The voice spread out like rolling thunder. The gatekeeping disciple turned pale from alarm and thought to himself, I’m finished this time!

  With a bang, the door opened. Skymaple walked in front of Ye Yuan with a black face.

  “Didn’t I tell you to make him get lost? You actually dare to let him in here?!” Skymaple was speaking to the gatekeeping disciple instead.

  The gatekeeping disciple had immeasurable bitterness in his heart as he said, “Grand Elder, this . . . this punk’s movement technique is extremely fast. I looked away for a second and he . . . and he . . .”

  “Humph! You, a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm, can’t even deal with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. What do I want you for? Alright, the two of you can get lost together now. Go and collect punishment yourselves.”

  Finishing, Skymaple turned around and was ready to leave without even bothering to look at Ye Yuan. Evidently, the people getting punishment also included Ye Yuan.

  He did not feel that a low-rank Alchemy Master could help him in any way. He was purely here to cause trouble.

  Ye Yuan’s nose twitched, and he said softly, “Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, Clear Spirit Jade Fluid, Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass . . . , using Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to fill the void in the pill formula is indeed quite interesting, but . . .”

  Ye Yuan listed out all the ingredients that Skymaple used to refine the pill. But he shut his mouth after he talked halfway.

  Skymaple just took two steps when he heard Ye Yuan report the ingredients without a single mistake. He could not help feeling very amazed in his heart.

  The ingredients were all inside. It absolutely could not be seen from here. Could this brat really have studied the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill before?

  Forget about the other ingredients, his mission had already been hanging there for a relatively long time. As long as Ye Yuan enquired diligently, he could get the information.

  But the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit was something he came up with only in the recent year. Apart from the sect upper echelons and Wang Jie, it was simply impossible for others to know.

  How did this boy know?

  Also, he said quite interesting . . . Quite interesting? There seemed to be an underlying meaning in his words!

  Skymaple turned around and asked Ye Yuan, “But what?”

  Ye Yuan smiled. “Nothing. This disciple should go and collect punishment now. Goodbye, Grand Elder.”

  Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around and left.

  Skymaple’s face went blac
k, and he said, “Halt! Aiyo, you, boy, have quite a big temper, to actually put on airs with this seat!”

  “This disciple dare not. I was just talking nonsense earlier. Just pretend you didn’t hear it, Grand Elder,” Ye Yuan said coolly.

  “Haha! Nice temperament! If this seat insists on making you say?” Skymaple’s face fell.

  “I’ll talk bullshit. At that time, it wouldn’t be as simple as a cauldron explosion.” Ye Yuan remained very calm and was not frightened by Skymaple’s aura.

  “Oh, even threatening this seat! Haha, this child is interesting! With this seat’s level, don’t tell me I don’t even have this bit of ability to screen it?”

  Hearing Ye Yuan ‘swords, Skymaple relaxed instead. He had not encountered such a ballsy junior in many years already. Even Luo Qingfeng did not dare to be so audacious in front of him.

  In terms of seniority, Skymaple was Luo Qingfeng’s martial uncle!

  But Ye Yuan just said two words, “Maybe not.”

  “Oh? Then try talking bullshit and see if I can distinguish the thing that is even more incredible than a cauldron explosion,” Skymaple said.

  “Still the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, Clear Spirit Jade Fluid, Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass, but lower the quantity of the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid to 80%. For the supplementary ingredients, swap the Swordtooth Grass for the Western Flower. How do you feel about this formula?”

  Skymaple’s eyes lit up. Smacking a fist on his palm, he said excitedly, “Oh yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Western Flower can better unleash the efficacy of the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit. Wouldn’t the success rate be higher like this?”

  As he was talking, Skymaple shot Ye Yuan a glance. When he saw the latter’s teasing smile on his face, he suddenly understood.

  “Could it be . . . this won’t work?” Skymaple asked weakly.

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Grand Elder can give it a shot. But whether you can escape from the refinement room or not, that will be up to your luck.”

  Skymaple’s face changed, and he immediately shook his head and said, “Impossible! According to what you said, it’s clearly much better than the pill formula that I completed. How can problems occur?”

  Ye Yuan was currently just like a systematic and patient teacher, guiding Skymaple to think about the pill formula’s problem.

  But Skymaple thought for a long time and still felt that Ye Yuan’s pill formula was better than his own!

  Or was it that this was the pill formula from the start and Ye Yuan was misleading him? Was he deliberately scaring him?

  “Haha, consider yourself formidable, boy! You must be bluffing this seat, right? This seat won’t fall for it so easily! This is definitely the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula! Not bad, not bad, kid. You’re indeed someone who is capable. This seat solemnly apologizes to you about the matter earlier. I should not have scorned you because of your identity!”

  This Skymaple was a forthright person. Joy and anger showed on his face. At present, the pill formula that Ye Yuan said already thoroughly convinced him. He actually did not hesitate to apologize at all.

  Wang Jie and the gatekeeping disciple by the sides were already dumbfounded. When did Grand Elder Skymaple become so easy to talk to?

  The dignified Grand Elder actually apologized to a newcomer disciple . . .

  Especially Wang Jie. Although he had a good temper, he suffered no little venting under Skymaple’s hands these few years.

  But even Wang Jie had never enjoyed such treatment before!

  How Skymaple treated Wang Jie was without question. It could be said that he gave his all to guide him and took great care of him.

  The only bad thing was that his temper was not good. Wang Jie became a pitiful human sandbag.

  However, even when Skymaple blew up for no reason at all, he had never apologized!

  Ye Yuan looked at the Skymaple who was laughing gleefully and said with a sigh, “I’m not bluffing Grand Elder. If you refine the pill according to this pill formula, forget about this refining room, even this stretch of land will most likely become a wasteland!”

  Skymaple’s laughter stopped abruptly. His expression changed, and he said, “How so?”

  “Grand Elder is only aware of one aspect, but ignorant of the other. While the Western Flower can better unleash the efficacy of the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, when placed in this pill formula, it would clash with another core material, triggering a huge explosion from there! The explosion of a Tier 4 medicinal pill, even with Grand Elder’s strength, I’m afraid that you’ll also find it hard to retreat unscathed,” Ye Yuan explained.

  Skymaple suddenly recalled that the pill formula Ye Yuan altered did not seem to be only one area. Apart from the Western Flower, there was the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid.

  “You’re talking about . . . the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid?” Skymaple probed.

  Chapter 241

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “By reducing the amount of Clear Spirit Jade Fluid to 80% and adding in the Western Flower plus another kind of supplementary ingredient called Bramble Mustard Tuber, it will produce an extremely terrifyingly huge explosion! This is actually roughly the same logic as creating gunpowder in the secular world.”

  Skymaple’s complexion involuntarily changed when he heard that.

  He really had not heard before that these three kinds of materials would cause such an effect when mixed together!

  Even he had not heard this before, how did this boy know?

  Thinking up to here, Skymaple could not help feeling fear. If Ye Yuan really bore a grudge and took revenge, then wouldn’t this place of his be leveled to the ground?

  Although what Ye Yuan said was nonsense, this could not be bullshitted through just by saying nonsense. If one were not highly proficient in medicinal knowledge, talking nonsense would not be able to hold water.

  Regardless of how this boy knew all these, he could not be underestimated!

  Thinking up to here, Skymaple promptly put away his contempt and asked seriously, “What’s your name?”

  “This disciple is Ye Yuan.”

  “Ye Yuan, this seat apologizes to you solemnly for the matter just now! Seeing as this seat is already an old man, how about you don’t be too particular?”

  Skymaple already said things to such an extent. Ye Yuan naturally would not nitpick at it again.

  However, he had a pretty good impression of this Skymaple. He could advance and retreat.

  Not everyone would apologize so solemnly to disciples from the junior generation. It was truly not easy for Skymaple to be able to do this.

  Ye Yuan gave a bow to Skymaple and said, “This Disciple dare not. I hope that Grand Elder won’t take to heart any offenses just now.”

  Skymaple chuckled and waved his hands, saying, “Take to heart what? As long as you can complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, you can even take a piss on top of this seat’s head! Come, please enter. Let’s talk inside!”

  The pair were just about to take a step when the gatekeeping disciple asked weakly, “G-Grand Elder, I . . .”

  Skymaple’s present mood was excellent. He flicked his sleeves and said, “You’ve rendered meritorious service and have no blame. Continue staying then! Guard the court gate well and don’t let anybody in!”

  The gatekeeping disciple was overjoyed. “Thank you, Grand Elder! Disciple will definitely guard the gate well!”

  . . . . . .

  In the side hall, Skymaple and Ye Yuan sat down as host and guest.

  This was already exceptionally courteous reception to Ye Yuan. In front of Skymaple, disciples only had the right to stand, not sit. Only hall head level had the qualifications to sit down and talk when they came. Even the elders could not!

  Behind Skymaple, Wang Jie kept sizing up Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with curiosity.

  He had followed Skymaple for a number of years already and was deeply aware of the difficulty of completing the Seven Profound Soul
Driving Pill.

  Wang Jie knew that there had already been no fewer than several hundred seniors and elders who took on this mission. These hundreds of people were all elites of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but no one could complete the mission.

  But this Young Master not over the age of 16 could fill in the pill formula.

  It was truly miraculous!

  Ye Yuan sensed Wang Jie’s gaze and flashed a smile at him. Wang Jie also flashed one back.

  “Ye Yuan, what did the ‘but’ you said earlier mean? Could it be that using the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to complete the pill formula doesn’t work either?” Skymaple asked again.

  He was very confident in the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit. It should be said that this was the closest to success he had come to in these over dozen years. But Ye Yuan’s words unwittingly make his heart palpitate.

  Ye Yuan said, “Although the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit has the effects of nourishing the divine soul, it’s unsuitable to be mixed together and refined with the Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass. The Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit’s attribute is metal, while the Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass’s attribute is wood. Metal and wood inhibit each other. Not only would the effects of the ingredients themselves fail to be unleashed, but it would also weaken instead. Furthermore, it will be tremendously difficult to control the stability of the three kinds of core materials during the refining process. If my estimations are right, Grand Elder has probably blown up cauldrons quite a number of times already, right?”

  Skymaple’s old face turned red. Ye Yuan really guessed it correctly.

  However, he still asked in surprise, “Isn’t the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit’s attribute is wood? Why is it metal?”

  The attributes of all things in the world were incomparably complex and were not written on the surface. Unless one were extremely proficient towards medical knowledge, one would tend to find it hard to determine a certain medicinal material’s attribute.

  The higher level the medicinal material, the harder it was to determine the attribute. Because the process of their derivation was extremely complicated.
