Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

Ye Yuan spoke with fervor and assurance, saying the refining method of this Wood Immortal Root detailedly once.
That Alchemy King became more excited as he listened. Towards the end, he was simply about to jump up.
When Ye Yuan finished talking, that Alchemy King bowed almost to the ground. He exclaimed, “Thankful for Master Ye’s guidance! Yan Mu will remember firmly in my heart!”
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, “Next one.”
“Master, I have questions.”
“Master Ye, I have questions too!”
“Master, there’s still me.”
“Me!”

“You still have the time to drink alcohol here? Master Ye’s lecture is about to start right away! If you still don’t go, there won’t be any seat anymore!”
“Master Ye? Who’s that?”
That person looked at the other party with eyes like he was looking at an alien, with a face full of contempt.
“You don’t even know who Master Ye is? He’s City Lord Manor’s grandson, Ye Yuan, Master Ye! Master Ye’s hosting a forum and giving lectures for five consecutive days at the Thousand Query Wall to answer any doubts. Once you pass this village, there won’t be this temple anymore!”
“Ah? It’s that grandson of the City Lord, His Excellency, that just got recently acknowledged? Isn’t he just a teenager? How can he host a forum and give lectures?”
“I say, what have you been busy with these few days? Master Ye’s lectures have already swept throughout the entire Wu Fang City! You actually don’t know?! Master Ye is simply like the reincarnation of an Alchemy God! If one can get Master Ye’s guidance, it beats 10 years of bitter cultivation! Now, even Alchemy Sovereign experts have started posing questions to Master Ye too!”
“Hiss . . . A teenage youth guiding Alchemy Sovereigns? Oh my, heaven . . .”
“Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you. You continue to idle away here then. I’m going to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion!”
As he said, that person left like a gust of wind.
Today was already the fifth day, the last day, that Ye Yuan was hosting a forum and giving a lecture. During the previous four days, Ye Yuan’s reputation already resounded throughout the entire Wu Fang City.
Master Ye’s name was practically already a household name in Wu Fang City.
As long as one was an alchemist, regardless whether was it a little Alchemy Apprentice, Alchemy Master, or even a high and lofty Alchemy Sovereign expert, they all took pride in getting Master Ye’s guidance.
The Thousand Query Wall’s main hall was already close to bursting. Every time it reached this time, the inside would be densely packed with practically full of people.
Wu Fang City’s Alchemy Path was extremely flourishing. The number of alchemists in the city was immense.
Yet, these few days, every time it reached the time Ye Yuan was hosting a forum and giving a lecture, the streets inside the city were practically deserted.
The originally extremely bustling markets actually had nobody patronizing anymore.
After the first time, those alchemists who stayed behind to listen to the talk all became Ye Yuan’s loyal followers one by one. They all started to propagate Master Ye’s name without sparing any effort.
On the second day, the headcount in Exquisite Jade Pavilion already soared. It was actually ten times of the previous day’s.
But among these people, the majority was still harboring half-skeptical attitudes to come and take a look.
Ye Yuan carried on as before. What he talked about was all some very basic stuff.
But after the second day, none among these alchemists doubted Ye Yuan’s strength anymore.
Just like this, spreading from person to person, by the time it was the third day, Ye Yuan hosting a forum and giving a lecture already swept throughout the entire Wu Fang City.
Now, even those Alchemy Sovereign experts in the city came due to its fame as well.
Among them included Wu Xuan, Cao Zheng, these people.
Only until today did Cao Zheng know how brilliant this decision of presenting the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to the City Lord Manor was.
With Ye Yuan around, the Thousand Query Wall was simply a joke!
In these few days, there were many formidable people raising all manners of questions to Ye Yuan.
Yet, regardless whether their strength was high or low, how crafty the questions asked was, Ye Yuan’s answer was undeniably accurate and detailed, leaving no fault for people to pick out at all.
This prowess simply exceeded the people’s imaginations.
Even Dan Chenzi and Ren Xingchun could not possibly do it to such an extent either.
Most importantly was that when Ye Yuan answered these questions, it was practically blurted out without any effort as if it did not require any thinking process at all.
In the views of these alchemists, this already reached a god-like realm.
These alchemists simply did not know what the concept of an Alchemy God was. Just like this, the title of ‘Alchemy God’s reincarnation’ was attached to Ye Yuan.
Actually, to them, Ye Yuan was indeed a god-like existence.
At least in alchemy, the level Ye Yuan surpassed them simply could not be measured using realms.
Regarding unknown existences, people tend to be willing to throw ‘god’ this title on top.
Ye Yuan’s present situation was like so.
“Alright. Everybody quiet down,” Ye Yuan’s voice spread out faintly.
This instant, it was as if the entire world’s sounds was voided. The great hall that could accommodate 100 thousand people suddenly became dead silent.
Everyone held their breaths, fearful of missing out any word that Ye Yuan uttered.
“What we’re going to talk about today is . . .”
Ye Yuan started today’s lecture unhurriedly. In the entire main hall, only Ye Yuan’s voice was echoing still.
Originally, there were only several thousand people. Being able to maintain silence was very easy.
But now, the number of people already broke through to 100 thousand people. To still be able to maintain this kind of status, it could be seen how great the attraction of Ye Yuan’s lecture contents was to them!
Same as the previous few days, Ye Yuan’s talk was still just some of the most basic stuff.
These contents, those alchemists themselves were already familiar until they could not be any more familiar. But Ye Yuan talked for five consecutive days, and they still listened with great gusto.
The same kind of medicinal herbs, the same kind of refining methods, Ye Yuan’s narration was entirely different from their understanding.
Not only did it uttered out new meanings, it even showed them heights and depths in alchemy.
There was no lack of alchemists present who were here from day one. After they went back, they refined medicinal pills according to Ye Yuan’s method too.
They discovered to their amazement that some of the very simple things Ye Yuan talked about, even when applied to refining high tier medicinal pills, was similarly applicable!
The quality of the medicinal pills they refined had a considerable raise!
This was also the reason why they held Ye Yuan in increasingly greater esteem.
The contents Ye Yuan narrated today were a lot, talking all the way from morning till dusk, before it finally ended.
“Alright. The lecture ends here. The Thousand Query Wall will be opened as usual from hereafter. If everyone has any question, you can come here to pose them,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Only now, did everyone realize that the five days of lectures had already passed. Ye Yuan would not be giving lectures to everybody anymore.
“Master Ye, can you please expound to us for another three days! No, even just one day is fine as well!”
“Yeah, Maste
r Ye! Listening to your talks these few days, I’ve gotten considerable gains. It simply beats closed-seclusion for ten years! I beseech you, just lecture for one more day!”
“Master Ye, just talk some more!”
. . . . . .
Ren Dong was indignant at this time. He stepped forward and said in a clear voice, “You all stop kicking up a row! Master he has to cultivate too! How can he possibly spend the whole day on giving you all talks? You people make him add one more day today, are you still going to make him add another day tomorrow? Like this, when will it end?”
Following Ye Yuan’s status rising, Ren Dong this apprentice also became an immensely popular figure in Wu Fang City.
In a daze, Ren Dong had a feeling of being apprenticed to a sage.
This feeling of lording above countless lives was what he simply had no way of experiencing when he was City Lord Manor’s Young Lord in the past.
Now, thanks to his new identity, Ren Dong instead had the liberating feeling of flying in the vast skies.
Being rebuked by Ren Dong like this, there was actually not a single person in the crowd below the stage who dared to refute.
But they still looked at Ye Yuan with heated eyes, hoping that he could change his decision.
Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to continue giving lectures. I’ll be heading to the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm tomorrow to challenge the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance. I seriously can’t do anything about this.”

Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to challenge the Vast Heaven Pagoda, the originally clamoring shouting voices gradually ceased.
It was true. Ye Yuan’s Alchemy Path strength was indeed formidable. But his boundary was too low after all.
If they delayed Master Ye’s cultivation for more lectures, then that would be too sinful.
Master Ye was destined to be a sky-rocking figure in the future. How could he possibly waste time here to give talks to them constantly?
But a series of lamenting still sounded out in the crowd. They were clearly all very regretful.
At this time, a person suddenly shouted in a clear voice, “Master Ye, Yan Mu is willing to wait upon you carefully. Even if it’s just to be a little medicine boy. Master Ye, please grant my wish!”
Looking carefully, it was precisely that Alchemy King who was the first to pose a question to Ye Yuan on the first day.
This Yan Mu was a peak Alchemy King expert. Among so many alchemists here, he was an extremely daunting existence too. He actually requested to be a little medicine boy for Ye Yuan. It was truly rather ludicrous.
Yet, not a single one out of the 100 thousand alchemists present felt that it was unexpected as if it was something so natural.
But Yan Mu’s actions also reminded everyone. For a time, many people followed him to do so.
“Master Ye, I’m willing to slave for you as well!”
“My skin is solid and thick and can take lugging. Master Ye, please take me in!”
“I’m willing to be a bed-warmer little maid for Master Ye! Master Ye, please take me in!” shouted a female alchemist shrilly.
This woman already reached middle-age but had some good looks.
Except that her saying this incurred a bout of loud laughter.
“Hahaha! Old Hag Ding, you’re too old to even be Master Ye’s grandmother. To actually still want to be his bed-warming maid!”
“Even if this old lady is any older, I’m a woman too! Moreover, I’m a woman who ages pretty well! Master Ye is full of vigor and vitality and is clearly still a virgin boy. He just needs a maid like me to warm his bed! How can those little girls wait upon him be better than me?”
This old lady Ding had no qualms and restrictions at all, daring to say anything.
Ye Yuan also sweat profusely in his heart when he heard it. Finding such a bed-warming lass, he could not endure it.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “Everybody’s good intentions, this Ye appreciates it. But this Ye is not used to being served by people. This matter of a medicine boy, better forget about it. Now that a formidable enemy lies ahead, it’s precisely the time for everyone to render your services. This Ye hosted a forum to give sermons in order to raise everybody’s strength. If everyone has the heart, you can join the City Lord Manor and offer help for the Endless Alliance. Since everybody regards this Ye highly, this Ye can promise everybody that each time this Ye returns to Wu Fang City next time, I’ll host a forum and give a lecture once. As for the time gap, this Ye dare not guarantee.”
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, these alchemists could not help feeling disappointed.
But many people also secretly made up their minds to definitely join the City Lord Manor tomorrow. At least this way, they could be a little closer to Master Ye. Perhaps there might be the opportunity to consult Master Ye on problems.
Ye Yuan’s requirement towards accepting disciples was extremely high. Although there were some among these people whose talents were not bad, it was still too far away from Ye Yuan’s requirement.
Wanting to become Ye Yuan’s disciple, one at the bare minimum had to reach Xiao Ruyan’s and Ren Dong’s level.
With these people’s talent, they were clearly not just a level inferior.
Among these people, just the Alchemy King experts were a large bunch. But the accomplishments of the vast majority among them would halt here.
Such strength, how could Ye Yuan possibly expend painstaking effort on them?
But Ye Yuan not needing them did not mean that the City Lord Manor did not require them.
His old man was now the City Lord Manor’s Young Lord. He was bound to inherit Wu Fang City in the future. Ye Yuan naturally have to gather some forces for Ye Hang.
One could only imagine that the City Lord Manor’s door’s bottom frame would be trampled broken tomorrow.
In the past, the Cao Family could use the Thousand Query Wall to gather alchemists. Now, Ye Yuan’s status actually already surpassed the status of the Thousand Query Wall.
After all, no matter how strong the Thousand Query Wall was, it had no way of letting 100 thousand people’s strength increase either. But Ye Yuan accomplished this.
After these alchemists listened to five days of his lectures, their strength more or less had some improvement.
One individual’s strength increase might not have much use. But 100 thousand alchemists’ strength all increasing, this was a very terrifying force.
In the crowd, Cao Zheng gave a melancholic sigh. He said, “With this boy around, there is no longer the chance for my Cao Family to rise up within a thousand years! After this, Wu Fang City will be monopolized by the Ren Family! But offering the Thousand Query Wall to the Ren Family was the most correct thing that this old man did! This boy’s alchemy strength is too terrifying. He definitely had some staggering fortuitous encounter!”
“Father, after today, I plan to enter closed-seclusion for a period of time. My gains these few days have been considerable. Ye Yuan’s lectures opened up a brand new Alchemy Path for me. After the seclusion this time, I’ll definitely have breakthroughs!” Cao Kun said.
Cao Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Good, good! Kun-er, whether or not my Cao Family can persist, will be up to you! As long as you can break through to become a peak Alchemy Sovereign, you can definitely protect my Cao Family’s legacy for a thousand years! Of course, the prerequisite is not to have conflicts with the City Lord Manor, understood?”
Cao Kun nodded and said, “Father, rest assured. Your child has engraved the matter in his heart. For as long as your child lives, I absolutely won’t have any hint of conflict with the Ren Family! Furthermore, I have a feeling that Ye Yuan insisting on rejecting the position of Young Lord, his father Ye Hang’s, future accomplishments definitely won’t be beneath mine!”
“En? You have this feeling too? This boy seems to be impulsive when doing things.
Actually, in the end, you’ll discover that everything is within his grasp! That Ye Hang’s age is still much younger than yours. His potential isn’t exhausted yet. How his future accomplishments will be is really hard to say!” Cao Zheng said with a grim expression.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan stirred up a storm in the entire Wu Fang City these few days. The astonished ones were not just those alchemists. The shock in Ren Xingchun’s heart was not the slightest bit lesser than the others.
He thought over and over again and still decided to come and find Ye Hang to inquire about Ye Yuan’s affairs.
“Honorable Son-in-Law, did Ye Yuan he . . . have some lucky encounter before?”
After talking aimlessly for a long time, Ren Xingchun finally turned the topic to Ye Yuan.
But his form of address towards Ye Hang had already unknowingly changed into ‘Honorable Son-in-Law.’
Ye Hang was a clever man too. He obviously knew that his position today was all given to him by Ye Yuan.
But there was no logic of a father being jealous of his son in this world. His son being promising, he was more than happy.
As for Ren Xingchun’s change in attitude, Ye Hang was naturally happy to see it.
Wasn’t the reason why he came back to Wu Fang City for the sake of this situation today? It was just that Ye Hang never expected that the one who helped him to fulfill his wish was not himself but his son.
However, Ye Hang secretly resolved his heart too, to definitely cultivate well from now on. He must break through to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years.
Otherwise, he would become Wu Fang City’s biggest joke.
“Lord Father-in-Law, Ye Yuan he told me before that he once obtained a pinnacle major power’s legacy in his dream before! I originally thought that he just obtained the Northern Domain’s, a certain major power like Father-in-law’s inheritance. I even suspected for a period of time that it was Lord Father-in-law yourself. But looking at it now, it’s probably not that simple,” Ye Hang said.
Ren Xingchun’s eyes glimmered, and he said solemnly, “Looks like Ye Yuan’s fortuitous encounter already surpassed the Endless World this small world!”
