Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

This youth was so young and was actually already Second Level Sea Transformation strength. How extraordinary.
He saw Xu Zihui standing with his hands by the side respectfully too and could not help being even more astonished.
A second-class patrolling inspector like Bao Sangui completely could not enter Wu Xuan’s eyes. But a Ninth Level Soul Sea expert like Xu Zihui, Wu Xuan naturally knew.
He was the City Lord Manor’s first-class patrolling inspector. Why would he be so respectful towards a teenager?
Looks like this youth had some background!
“Honorable Nephew, what’s with this talk?”
In front of Ren Dong, Wu Xuan did not put on any senior’s airs. Clearly, he regarded him quite highly.
“I came to find Master Wu Xuan, to boldly request Master to be a witness for us. In a while, during the test, we’ll refine the same medicinal pill, and ultimately determine the victor with the medicinal pill’s quality,” Ren Dong said with a cold grunt.
This time, Wu Xuan was really astonished. He said in surprise, “You and him? Quasi-Alchemy King versus low-rank Alchemy Master? Honorable Nephew, aren’t you being a little too much of a bully here?”
“Heh heh, Master didn’t hear how arrogant this boy’s words were. He said that as long as he randomly took part in the test, whatever Alchemy King and Alchemy Sovereign would be contending to snatch him to be a disciple. Furthermore . . . he would even find it troublesome!” Ren Dong said with a cold smile.
When Wu Xuan heard these words, his expression could not help darkening too. A puny little Alchemy Master uttered such wild ravings. Indeed, this person was unaware of how high the heaven was and how deep the earth was.
“You really said that before?” Wu Xuan asked in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan nodded his head, counted as admitting it.
Actually, he just casually said it to use to placate Skymaple. Who knew that it just so happened to be heard by Ren Dong.
But the words were already said. Ye Yuan naturally would not deny it.
Furthermore, what he said was only the truth. How could those Alchemy Kings and Alchemy Sovereigns be worthy of being his, Ye Yuan’s, master?
“Hehe, what an unbridled brat! Fine! Today, I’ll help you guys be this witness, and I’ll see if a puny little Alchemy Master really has such heaven-defying talent that can make me view him in a different light too!”
Ye Yuan admitting it so shamelessly made Wu Xuan very furious too.
Ye Yuan just shrugged when he heard this. He did not have the intention of disputing those words.
. . . . . .
The place for this test did not seem to be any different from back then when Ye Yuan was at the State of Qin.
It was just that the pill refining rooms here were of much higher quality compared to the State of Qin’s. All manners of decorations and equipments were much more extensive too.
In the hall, one could likewise see everything in the pill refining rooms from the light screen projection.
“Alright, the test will begin soon. What kind of medicinal pill do you guys want to refine?” Wu Xuan asked.
Ye Yuan had yet to speak when Ren Dong jumped in and said, “Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill!”
Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that, his eyes looking at Ren Dong rather strangely.
Ren Dong clearly saw Ye Yuan’s gaze too and thought that Ye Yuan could not refine it. He could not help saying delightedly, “What? Can’t refine it? Or completely never heard before? There’s still time to back out now, but there has to be some punishment, don’t you agree?”
Ye Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head as he said, “Alright then. Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill then.”
Ye Yuan’s surprise was obviously not because he could not refine it, and even less because he never heard of it before. But because this Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was seriously too easy for him.
He originally still thought that Ren Dong being so aggressive should have picked even more formidable Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. Who knew that he actually picked one without any difficulty.
However, Ye Yuan was a well-fed person who did not know how the starving people had suffered. This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was already the highest-ranking medicinal pill that Ren Dong could refine.
The Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was a high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, but it was also just an entry-level medicinal pill. It could at most only be considered slightly difficult among the entry-levels.
Most of those who came to join the alchemist test just barely reached this level. They would naturally choose other entry-level medicinal pills for the test.
Ren Dong being able to refine out high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills at this age was already very impressive. To make him pick some highly challenging high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills was naturally something impossible.
But Ye Yuan’s expression in the eyes of those who did not know the inside story naturally thought that he could not refine it.
But Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan, even Skymaple, all of them knew that this should not stump Ye Yuan.
This expression of Ye Yuan’s could only say . . . this medicinal pill was too simple.
Wu Xuan saw Ye Yuan’s expression, and he could not help shaking his head secretly in his heart.
This youngster’s strength was decent, but his temperament was too poor. Unable to refine, then why he pretended to know?
Even if a puny little Alchemy Master really could refine some Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, how could he possibly refine those high-level medicinal pills of the same tier?
Now, the true colors were revealed, and the jig was up, right?

“Alright. Since the two of you don’t have any objections, then begin!” Wu Xuan said.,
“Hang on!” Xiao Ruyan suddenly interjected.
“What? You this ugly girl want to go back on your words?” Ren Dong said with a grin.
The temperature in the hall instantly dropped several degrees. This Ren Dong really had no idea of death.
Xiao Ruyan said with a cold smile, “Since it’s an alchemy duel, there has to be some stake, right?”
Ren Dong could not help being stunned when he heard these words. The smile on his face became even brighter straight away. “Haha! What kind of stake do you want? Just say it out!”
“Just bet essence crystals then! 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals. Dare to wager?” Xiao Ruyan had a compelling look.
Once these words were said, everyone drew in a cold breath.
Although Ye Yuan still had some wealth right now, to take out 100 thousand essence crystals in one go, he really could not do it.
100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals. No matter where it was, it was a huge sum of money.
After the shock, Ren Dong calmed down very quickly, and looked at Xiao Ruyan with a half-smile as he said, “Heh! You this ugly girl talk so big! 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals, can you take it out?”
Xiao Ruyan flipped her hand over. A storage ring appeared in her hand.
“There are 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals in this storage ring. Since this lord sovereign is the judge, let him confirm it.”
As she said, Xiao Ruyan very casually threw the storage ring to Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan was also slightly astonished when he saw the situation. He inserted his divine sense into the storage ring and counted them; indeed, there were 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals.
This little lady, such a grand display of one’s wealth!
100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals were not considered much to him as an Alchemy Sovereign. But to ordinary people, it was absolutely a tremendous amount of wealth.
Even for Ren Dong as the eldest young master in his family, adding up all of his possessions, it was most likely just this amount too.
“That’s right. It’s
indeed 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals,” Wu Xuan nodded slightly and said.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Ren Dong could not help looking at Xiao Ruyan in slight amazement.
This ugly girl’s looks were far from attractive. To think that she was actually so wealthy. People really could not be judged by their looks!
But Ren Dong naturally did not mind this as well. He only treated it as a little girl in a fit of pique.
“Hehe, with money, one can be willful, but one also has to bear the consequences brought about from being willful! Deal! I’ll wager with you!”
Ren Dong likewise threw Wu Xuan a storage ring and said, “Master, this storage ring has high-grade, middle-grade, and low-grade essence crystals. The total sum should be 100 thousand. I have to trouble you to do a check.”
Wu Xuan briefly counted, and he then nodded his head slightly and said, “Only a few dozen pieces short. Not a big problem. Since both parties have agreed to this wager, then this Seat will be the intermediary party. These two storage rings will belong to the final victor. Now, we can start the test.”
Ye Yuan and Ren Dong entered the medicine warehouse. They chose the medicinal herbs the Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill required, and then they entered the pill refining rooms respectively to refine the medicinal pill.
Seizing this opportunity, Wu Xuan pulled Xu Zihui to one side and asked softly, “What background does this boy have? Are you sure that he isn’t here to cause trouble?”
Xu Zihui had a bitter look when he heard that and said, “This . . . This lowly one doesn’t know either! Young Master Ye’s talent in the Martial Path is unparalleled. But whether he knows how to alchemy or not, I really don’t know!”
As he said this, Xu Zihui briefly recounted the matter of inviting Ye Yuan to join the Northern Domain’s upper echelons’ meeting, leaving Wu Xuan with shock in his heart.
This Ye Yuan was actually even stronger than the three sect’s head disciples. Truly inconceivable.
But his complexion became dark very quickly as he said in a low voice, “Martial Path talent being so heaven-defying, but at his age, how could he have the time to learn alchemy skills too? He’s truly messing around!”
Xu Zihui clearly did not feel that Ye Yuan could refine out a high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill either and said with a forced smile, “Master Wu Xuan, this lowly one has interacted with Young Master Ye for several days, and more or less has some understanding regarding his temperament. A young man’s character can be understood. Since Young Master Ye has the badge that the Alchemist Association issued, he presumably isn’t utterly clueless about alchemy skills. Since he wants to mess around, just let him run wild. Or else, if he really gets offended and walks away, City Lord, His Excellency, will flay my skin for sure when I go back.”
Wu Xuan said with a long face, “This old man, an exalted Alchemy Sovereign, is actually accompanying two juniors to mess around. Seriously preposterous!”
Xu Zihui smiled obsequiously and said, “Huhu, at any rate, Young Master Ren Dong’s standards are not for show. To think that he can actually refine high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills so soon! At this speed, he’ll most likely become our Wu Fang City’s youngest Alchemy King expert!”
After Xi Zihui mentioned Ren Dong, Wu Xuan’s expression became a little better as he said with a nod, “This boy’s talent in alchemy is indeed exceptionally strong. The Ren Family finally produced a decent junior again after Hongling that lass. Forget it, forget it; today, I’ll just take it as witnessing Ren Dong this boy’s growth then.”
Wu Xuan pair chatted for a while and were just about to go to the light screen to watch Ren Dong’s refinement when the door of the pill refining room that Ye Yuan was in suddenly opened. Ye Yuan slowly walked out from inside.
When Wu Xuan saw the situation, his expression involuntarily darkened as he said, “Young man, alchemy skills are not as simple as you imagine. A day’s work cannot refine out high tier medicinal pills! If your strength can’t compare to others, you have to accept it with an open mind. A momentary dispute caused by personal feelings will do no good for your growth!”
Seeing that Ye Yuan actually came out so quickly, Wu Xuan already confirmed that this Ye Yuan was making a fool out of him, and could not resist lecturing a few sentences with a senior’s capacity.
Ye Yuan was disinclined to refute as well and just gave an apathetic ‘orh’ and retreated to one side.
Xiao Ruyan’s eyes lit up, and she asked Ye Yuan in a whisper, “Master, what grade?”
The composed Yue Mengli also could not resist moving closer at this time.
But Ye Yuan made a mystery out of it as he said with a smile, “Leave a bit of suspense. Making it known now won’t have any meaning anymore.”
After 2 hours plus, Ren Dong finally came out from the pill refining room. It was only to see him drenched in sweat all over, as if he was hurled out from a river.
This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was still a little too forceful to Ren Dong.
But Ren Dong’s face seemed to be looking very excited. Clearly, the refinement succeeded.
Ren Dong saw Ye Yuan sitting there calm and composedly, looking as if his soul force and essence energy both virtually had no expenditure. Ren Dong could not help giving a disdainful smile.
“Huhu, resigned yourself to your fate, right? Alchemy isn’t as easy as you imagine! Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills are not Tier 2 medicinal pills that can be refined as long as one’s realm is sufficient,” Ren Dong said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan just smiled and was not in the mood to argue with him.
Before long, the employees submitted the medicinal pills refined by the two.
Wu Xuan already had no interest to look at the medicinal pill Ye Yuan refined at this time. He directly unveiled the vessel used to place Ren Dong’s medicinal pill, his face revealing a satisfied look.
“Not bad, not bad! Actually able to refine a middle-grade Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill already. Looks like you didn’t slack off in the slightest recently!” Wu Xuan said in satisfaction.
“Master Wu Xuan is too kind. Little Nephew is somebody who has the resolve to assault the realm of peak Alchemy Sovereign. How can I dare have the slightest hint of remiss?” Ren Dong was pleased with himself in his heart but spoke humbly on the surface.
Wu Xuan nodded his head and unveiled Ye Yuan’s medicinal pill carelessly. His expression involuntarily changed drastically!
“This . . . This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill. Hiss . . . Young man, do you have a master?” Wu Xuan asked.
Chapter 501

Everyone was stupefied by this question from Wu Xuan. What was going on?
Wu Xuan was not talking about the medicinal pill’s quality, but he asked about Ye Yuan’s master first?
But everyone understood it very quickly. Wu Xuan was trying to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple here!
Understanding this subtle question, Ren Dong’s face was already black like a pot’s bottom.
He still clearly remembered that he just happened to bump into the sight of Ye Yuan saying that Alchemy Kings and Alchemy Sovereigns would be fighting to take him in as a disciple.
Wasn’t this scene right now exactly verifying Ye Yuan’s words back then?
But the problem was that Ye Yuan did not even expend much essence energy and soul force. How could he possibly refine out a high quality Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill?
“Master Wu Xuan, the medicinal pill that he refined?” Ren Dong clenched his teeth and asked.
Only when Wu Xuan looked at Ren Dong did he realize his loss of composure. But very soon, he took pity on Ren Dong.
Ren Dong’s talent absolutely bore no complaints. But compared to this Ye Yuan, it was simply a world of difference!
He passed the medicinal pill to Ren Dong and said with a sigh, “You take a look yourself.”
Ren Dong received the medicinal pill in puzzlement and swep
t over the medicinal pill with soul force. His expression became even uglier.
Transcendent-grade!
It was absolutely transcendent-grade!
A transcendent-grade Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill. This . . . How was this possible?”
Yet, the reality was right before his eyes and not up to Ren Dong to believe or not.
Everything in the pill refining room could be projected on the light screen and be recorded down. Ye Yuan’s refinement completely could not be faked.
Could it be that this boy’s alchemy standards actually already reached such a monstrous degree?
As an alchemist, Ren Dong was all too clear about the disparity between middle-grade and transcendent-grade!
Comparing using a firefly and the bright moon was not overboard at all!
“Hehe, Master is Master! Indeed amazing! How is it, great Young Master Ren? Convinced now?”
Xiao Ruyan clearly identified the transcendent-grade medicinal pill too, and she could not help striking down Ren Dong with a proud look.
Yet, Ren Dong completely did not hear Xiao Ruyan’s words. He was currently still battered out of his senses at present.
The eyes of Yue Mengli behind Ye Yuan glimmered at this time, staring hard at Ye Yuan’s back view. It was also uncertain what she was thinking about.
“You’re called Ye Yuan, right? I wonder if you’re willing to enter this old man’s tutelage? This old man will exhaust everything I have to aid you to reach the Divine Realm!’ Wu Xuan also said somewhat agitatedly.
Ye Yuan sighed slightly. As expected, it still went back to this topic.
“Is the test considered passed now?” Ye Yuan’s reply avoided the question.
“Uh, of course! Of course, it’s passed!” Wu Xuan was dazed for a bit and replied.
“Then . . . give it!”
“Give it? Give what it?” Wu Xuan discovered that he completely could not follow Ye Yuan’s thoughts.
“The badge! I came to take the test for high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King. Now that I’ve passed the test, shouldn’t you give me the badge? Oh, those two storage rings as well!” Ye Yuan said crossly.
