Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

by Feng Yise 风一色

  The sect elders were all burning with righteous indignation. They felt like they had fallen into a pit.

  Sustaining heavy casualties before the exploration of the mystic realm even began, the sect elders clearly could not quite accept it.

  When Wu Zhao saw several sects lose men, he secretly felt pleased. But he looked aggrieved as he said, “By heaven and hell, this Wu really didn’t know that this sea of Orchid Heart Flowers actually had such deadly poison! It’s just that my Heavenly Sky Sect has vast territory and abundant resources and we’re not lacking this bit of Orchid Heart Flowers, that’s why we were thinking of letting everyone go first. Who knew that this would happen?”

  “Humph! Stop pretending, Elder Wu! Only your Heavenly Sky Sect has come in here before, how can you possibly be oblivious?” an elder said furiously.

  Wu Zhao maintained an aggrieved look and said, “It isn’t just my Heavenly Sky Sect’s group that didn’t move here, the Tranquil Cloud Sect didn’t move too. Why does everyone come and interrogate my Heavenly Sky Sect?”

  When Wu Zhao said this, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group felt their hearts chill. He was trying to redirect the disaster!

  Indeed, those elders immediately turned their gun barrels!

  They were all wily foxes and knew that Wu Zhao was deliberately putting on a show here. But the Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful, so they obviously had to find a soft persimmon to knead!

  They had to find a channel to vent right? Then wasn’t the Tranquil Cloud Sect perfect?

  When Wang Fan saw the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he instantly became full of enthusiasm. He went forward and grilled them. “Mei Zhen, are you going to give us an explanation?”

  How could Mei Zhen not know what these people were thinking? His face darkened, and he said, “What explanation do you want? I wasn’t the one who made you all go harvest the Orchid Heart Flowers either. Now that something happened, can my Tranquil Cloud Sect be blamed for it? The Heavenly Sky Sect is the only sect who came in here before. You don’t go find them but come to find trouble with us instead, what’s the reasoning?”

  Wang Fan sneered coldly and said, “You can’t say it that way! The Heavenly Sky Sect has vast territory and abundant resources, your Tranquil Cloud Sect can’t also have vast territories and abundant resources too, right? Could it be that you guys aren’t lacking Orchid Heart Flowers? But you people didn’t make a move. Could there be no reason in between all this? Or perhaps you guys already secretly colluded with the Heavenly Sky Sect?”

  When Wang Fan said this, the other sects’ elders’ faces changed!

  The Heavenly Sky Sect was already formidable enough. If they add in a Tranquil Cloud Sect, swallowing up the other sects was something sooner or later!

  Although the Tranquil Cloud Sect was very weak, which one of the Eight Great Sects did not have any trumps cards? If they threw their lot in with the Heavenly Sky Sect, then the Southern Domain’s terrain would be hard to say!

  Mei Zhen panicked when he saw the situation and pointed at Wang Fan, saying, “Wang Fan, don’t slander people!”

  Wang Fan snorted coldly and said, “Slander people? If it’s not like this, you guys should have at least reminded us to not go over, right? Now, only you guys and the Heavenly Sky Sect are perfectly fine, how can this not make people suspicious?”

  Mei Zhen was so nervous that his forehead was matted with sweat and he felt like he could not explain this even with a hundred mouths.

  The Tranquil Cloud Sect’s strength was originally weak. If they faced off with several great sects at the same time, then there was only death!

  The Heavenly Sky Sect’s strategy to sow discord was executed really viciously!

  “Senior Mountain Shaker, why did you come out again? Talking so much crap, isn’t it all your baseless speculations? You guys were greedy and suffered a loss when you went to harvest the Orchid Heart Flowers, but turn around now to blame others. Where’s the reasoning?” at this time, Ye Yuan came forward to say.

  When he said ‘Senior Mountain Shaker,’ everybody simmered with laughter.

  But under such circumstances, they should not laugh. Each one of them was very uncomfortable holding it back.

  Wang Fan was so angry that he was huffing and glaring. He said in a great rage, “Honorable Nephew, looks like your Tranquil Cloud Sect is resolved to break away from us other six sects!”

  Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, “Senior Mountain Shaker, your Mountain Shaking Divine Skill is already cultivated to the acme of perfection! Since when can Senior Mountain Shaker alone represent the six sects? Forget about six sects, can you represent the High Clarity Sect?”

  “You!” Wang Fan could not help choking up.

  Did he dare to say represent? He was only some unimportant elder in the High Clarity Sect. How could he represent the High Clarity Sect’s opinion?

  “What about me? He’s sowing discord so obviously, and you can’t even see it; are you a pig? Or are you already bought over by the Heavenly Sky Sect to deliberately stir up hostility between us six sects?” Ye Yuan retorted, hitting the mark with each word.

  Mo Yuntian’s eyes lit up when he heard it. What a marvelous reversing the roles of host and guest!

  Just now, Wang Fan said that the Tranquil Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sky Sect were colluding. Now, Ye Yuan countered that Wang Fan was bribed by the Heavenly Sky Sect, reversing the situation in an instant!

  Regardless whether the other sects believed Ye Yuan’s words or not, they would not take any rash actions.

  “You! You’re maligning me!” It was Wang Fan’s turn to want to cough blood this time.

  But Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, “Senior Mountain Shaker, save it! In this mystic realm, the situation is incredibly delicate. Don’t become a tool for others! Properly seeking out natural treasures and leaving alive are the kingly way!”

  His words were clearly for Wang Fan to listen, but in reality, it was said for the other elders to hear.

  When the sect elders heard Ye Yuan’s words, they also calmed down.

  Now, inside the mystic realm, the Heavenly Sky Sect’s strength was undoubtedly the greatest. But their strength had limits.

  It was precisely because of this that everyone lowered their guard.

  But in truth, the Heavenly Sky Sect had advantages that other sects did not. If they became cannon fodders, they would lose more than they gain in the end.

  Each sect only had ten plus people now. Once they clashed, nobody would gain any advantage. Instead, it would benefit others.

  Not only Wang Fan, but the rest of them also could not represent their respective sects too!

  The goal of coming to this mystic realm was to bring back more natural treasures.

  The most important matter on hand was not to scheme but to preserve their strength to search for natural treasures!

  Ye Yuan’s words roused them from their sleep. These elders’ enmity also became much weaker.

  As for what happened here, they would report to the sect’s upper echelons after leaving. The higher ups would naturally make a decision.

  The Heavenly Sky Sect people had been watching the activities over here the entire time. When Wu Zhao saw that Ye Yuan resolved the crisis with just a few words, his face involuntarily fell.

  Although this boy’s realm isn’t high, his thoughts are very deep. His grasp of the situation is also very on point! Looks like what Zhangyu said was right; this boy really can’t be underestimated! En, I’ll just find a chance later on and kill him! Wu Zhao thought to himself.

  As for those words over there about colluding with the Heavenly Sky Sect, Wu Zhao did not mind in the slightest.

  The seven great sect masters were all wise people. As long as the Heavenly Sky Sect existed for a day, they would not be foolish enough to tear at each other. That would only benefit the Heavenly Sky Sect!

  “Alright, let’s go first.” Seeing that there were no opportunities to take advantage of, Wu Zhao brought the Heav
enly Sky Sect disciples and left first.

  The other elders also came around, and each brought their members to set off.

  But after this sea of flowers incident, the elders also had sufficient understanding of this mystic realm’s perils. They obviously would not dare to drop their guard again.

  Wang Fan shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare again and said, “Brat, you’d best pray that you don’t end up in my hands! Humph! Let’s go!”

  Finished talking, Wang Fan directly led a group of High Clarity Sect disciples and left.

  Mei Zhen also let out a long sigh. He said to Ye Yuan, “Oh, Ye Yuan, all thanks to you for getting us out of a fix this time. Otherwise, we would have suffered an undeserved calamity!”

  Ye Yuan smiled. Waving his hands, he said, “Nothing much. This is what I should do.”

  Mei Zhen nodded and said, “Let’s go too.”

  “Wait a minute!” Ye Yuan called out to stop him.

  Chapter 300: Harvesting Flowers

  “Is there anything else, Ye Yuan? The other sects are already long gone!” Mei Zhen reminded.

  There were about a hundred people from the Eight Great Sects, neither too many nor too few in this mystic realm. Leaving later would mean having the good stuff taken away by others.

  Regarding Ye Yuan, Mei Zhen could not very well issue a command directly. He could only adviced in a roundabout manner.

  Ye Yuan said, “Rest assured, Elder Mei. Although there is a lot of good stuff in this mystic realm, it probably won’t be so easy to obtain. Reaching first doesn’t mean definitely obtaining first. Otherwise, the Heavenly Sky Sect would not have spent so much trouble to invite us over. Rather, since the other sects already left now, we can harvest the flowers at ease.”

  When Ye Yuan said this, everyone jumped in fright.

  The toxicity of this sea of flowers was very strong. Everybody witnessed it with their own eyes just now. Now, Ye Yuan actually wanted to go harvest the flowers?

  “Stop kidding, Ye Yuan! That sea of flowers probably has thousands of Orchid Heart Flowers. The strength of the poison is something that even Crystal Formation Realms cannot withstand. You also saw those people earlier yet you still want to harvest the flowers. Isn’t this complaining that your lifespan is too long?” Mei Zhen said.

  That scene earlier was truly too shocking, leaving everyone with a lingering fear in their hearts even up till now.

  Towards this sea of flowers, everybody’s attitude was in accord; to keep a respectful distance away.

  Hence, upon hearing that Ye Yuan wanted to enter the sea of flowers to harvest flowers, Mei Zhen nearly jumped up.

  “These flowers are not Orchid Heart Flowers, but Mantu Flowers. This Mantu Flower’s outer appearance is extremely alike the Orchid Heart Flower, but it’s a highly toxic entity. Furthermore, the sea of Mantu Flowers grows together. This will have a superimposing effect on the poison, practically reaching Quasi-Tier 4 level. That’s why those people died upon contact,” Ye Yuan explained.

  “Mantu Flower? Really never heard of it before! But since the toxicity is so powerful, then even more so you mustn’t go over!” Mo Yuntian said.

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “How can one return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain?”

  “Treasure mountain? What kind of treasure mountain is a bunch of poisonous objects?” Mo Yuntian asked doubtfully.

  Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “You’re uninformed of this Mantu Flower’s origins, that’s why you say so. This Mantu Flower is originally a poisonous item. Furthermore, its appearance also greatly differs from the Orchid Heart Flower. We see that the Mantu Flower looks exactly the same as Orchid Heart Flowers because it was formed through grafting.”

  “Grafting?” Everyone said in surprise.

  “That’s right. After the Mantu Flower matures, cut off everything above the rhizome completely, then graft the Orchid Heart Flower on it. Then it becomes the current Mantu Flowers. In reality, it should be called Mantu Orchid Heart Flowers,” Ye Yuan explained.

  “No way, right? Such a precious Tier 2 medicinal herb like the Orchid Heart Flower was actually used in grafting to become Mantu Flower. Isn’t it too much of a waste of God’s gift? It’s really too bad.” Tian Yu could not help letting out an emotional sigh.

  He grew up by Skymaple’s side since young and was much more familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs compared to other people. The preciousness of Orchid Heart Flowers was such that even the Heavenly Sky Sect would not regard it as unimportant, let alone the Tranquil Cloud Sect which was short on resources to begin with.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Nothing to be sad about. The reason why this was done is naturally that there is a greater justification.”

  “What reason? So many Orchid Heart Flowers, if we bring them all back, it’s enough to raise the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists’ strength collectively by a whole stage. But now . . . able to look but unable to eat. Such heartache!” Tian Yu sighed.

  “The rank of a medicinal herb is fixed. But under certain special environments, it can advance. No matter how precious the Orchid Heart Flower is, it’s also just a Tier 2 medicinal herb. It has profound meaning to Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, but to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, it’s of somewhat little value.”

  “Ye Yuan, you mean to say . . . the reason for grafting this Mantu Flower is to let the Orchid Heart Flower evolve?” Mo Yuntian’s eyes became wide saucers as he asked in disbelief.

  Ye Yuan nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right! The Orchid Heart Flower is an extremely pure and nourishing medicinal herb. Even if a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist swallowed an Orchid Heart Flower raw, it would have huge benefits towards cultivation. But to nurture Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers, it has to be in a highly toxic environment instead! After the Mantu Flower is grafted over by the Orchid Heart Flower, it converts the Orchid Heart Flower into an entity with even deadlier poison. But this toxicity can spur the true Orchid Heart Flower’s evolution!”

  Tian Yu asked in surprise when he heard this, “There’s actually such a miraculous technique in this world?”

  This grafting technique was not considered miraculous in the Divine Realm. Each major faction would have some of their own unique breeding methods.

  But in the Endless World, this was an extremely phenomenal technique.

  In Tian Yu’s mind, the ranks of medicinal herbs were all fixed. He had never heard of being able to evolve.

  Ye Yuan said, “Doesn’t count as miraculous. It’s just a problem of knowing it or not.”

  “Then doesn’t that mean that there are Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers in this sea of flowers?” Mei Zhen said.

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “That’s why I said that we can harvest flowers in peace after they left.”

  “But this sea of flowers is so huge. Moreover, it’s all highly toxic, dying upon contact. How should we harvest?” Mei Zhen said with a frown.

  Even if they knew that there were treasures in the sea of flowers, it was futile if they could not go in!

  They had already witnessed the prowess of the Mantu Flower poison. They did not wish to risk their lives.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Very simple, just burn them all with fire!”

  “B-burn them? But the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers are inside too. What if the fire burns them all down? Furthermore . . . how to burn them? Ordinary fires cannot destroy Tier 2 medicinal herbs by burning,” Mei Zhen said.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Everyone, follow me!”

  As he spoke, Ye Yuan headed straight for the sea of flowers. Everybody held suspicions in their hearts but still followed.

  Ye Yuan came to the borders of the sea of flowers, and with a flick of his hand, a pale yellow flame appeared.

  “Hiss . . . Essence fire! That . . . Is that Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame? H-How is that possib
le? You’re only at the Spirit Condensation Realm, how can you have a Tier 4 essence fire?” Mei Zhen cried out in shock.

  Ye Yuan gave a simple explanation, leaving the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples unbelievably envious.

  Tian Yu looked at the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame dancing in Ye Yuan’s palm and only knew now that Ye Yuan did not even go all out during the grand competition!

  If the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame were unleashed, without needing to unleash its full power, he would not be able to escape death too.

  Only to see Ye Yuan lightly thrust his palm forward. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame vanished with a swoosh.

  Immediately after, they saw the sea of flowers igniting area by area.

  “Ye Yuan, this . . . this is a Tier 4 essence fire! Wouldn’t the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers be burned down with you burning like this?” Mei Zhen asked with a frown.

  “Rest assured, Elder Mei Zhen. Just look on, and you’ll see. This sea of flowers have roughly three thousand plus Mantu Flowers, and nurturing one Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower requires the expenditure of 100 Mantu Flowers. That’s also to say that there are roughly more than 30 Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers in this sea of flowers. We won’t bring even one less away!” Ye Yuan said assuredly.

  Mei Zhen was half-believing, half-doubting. But he still waited patiently.

  The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was extremely powerful. It quickly burnt this sea of flowers into nothing, not even leaving residue behind!

  When everyone focused their eyes over there, they indeed saw that there were a sparse number of plants left in the sea of flowers!

  Ye Yuan went forward and directly harvested five Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers. He turned around and said to Mei Zhen, “These Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers are useful to me, so I’ll take five. Elder Mei, please take the rest back to the sect.”

  Mei Zhen looked at those stalks of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers and involuntarily frowned, showing a pondering look.

  “Elder Mei, if we didn’t have Ye Yuan, we wouldn’t even have gotten a single stalk of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower. He only took five stalks which isn’t considered much,” Mo Yuntian saw Mei Zhen frown and hastily went up to say.
