Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

  Pei Wenqiang’s brows furrowed and he said unhappy, “Punk who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! To actually dare refuse to accept this City Lord’s decision! As it happens, this City Lord just assumed office. I’ll make an example out of this Gu Family punk!”

  “Gu Family? My slot originally belonged to the Gu Family?” Ye Yuan frowned and said.

  Pei Wenqiang’s expression appeared slightly awkward as he nodded his head. Clearly, he did not expect that the Gu Family punk would actually make such a scene.

  Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance but did not say anything.

  Pei Wenqiang’s mind games, how could he not perceive it?

  Even though Ye Yuan took action and saved Gu Qing, his relationship with the Gu Family was not considered very good either.

  Putting aside other things, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was really hauling in bushels of gold now, but this was originally the Gu Family’s territory. How could they possibly not be envious?

  This move of Pei Wenqiang’s gave Ye Yuan a huge benefit and also sowed discord between the two forces’ relationship without extra trouble.

  Him being the City Lord would sail with the wind.

  This kind of inciting method was not considered despicable. It was just the methods of a sovereign. Balancing all parties’ relationship, this was something that every sovereign had to consider.

  Ye Yuan had never eaten pork but had seen pigs running plenty of times. How could he not see through this bit?

  Pei Wenqiang had just newly arrived. Using a bit of trick was justifiable. Ye Yuan did not think anything about Pei Wenqiang because of this.

  On the contrary, if Pei Wenqiang did not play these cheap tricks, he would not be Pei Wenqiang instead.

  Pei Wenqiang’s small trick was just done by taking advantage of an opportunity. After all, the value of a slot far exceeded the problems of inciting the two sides’ relationship.

  If that Crimson Afterglow Valley really had a huge lucky chance, then the value of this quota to Ye Yuan would be immeasurable.

  Some small tricks could be overlooked.

  Ye Yuan gave Pei Wenqiang a glance and side, “This kind of housefly doesn’t have to trouble City Lord Your Excellency to personally take action. I’ll send him away. However … it’s not to be made a precedent!”

  “Cough, cough, won’t be made a precedent! Won’t happen again! That … Ye Yuan, you really don’t need me to make a move? Gu Hua this brat, his strength is still very decent. Among the Ancient Opulence City’s junior generation, it’s enough to rank in the top three,” Pei Wenqiang said.

  Before coming, Pei Wenqiang did not think that Ye Yuan was actually in possession of the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s gold token.

  Just this one token was already on a completely different level from the Gu Family. This kind of trick seemed very redundant looking at it now.

  But Pei Wenqiang’s means were not weak. Just came for a few days and he already pretty much figured out the Ancient Opulence City’s forces distribution. Even the junior generation’s strength, he already had an account in his heart.

  These three quotas, each one was very precious. How could Pei Wenqiang possibly give to people willy-nilly?

  At that time if they go to compete and lose, he would be the one losing face.

  Furthermore, although the Pei Family was powerful, they had quite a few enemies in the holy land too.

  This kind of major matter which involved the entire holy land, if it were really too perfunctory, it would give people a handle.

  This Ancient Opulence City’s three quotas, apart from Ye Yuan, he selected them carefully. One of the quotas did not even go to a major aristocratic family. But that person’s strength made people wholeheartedly convinced.

  This Gu Hua outside, his strength was indeed very decent. It was just that in order to return Ye Yuan a favor, he endured the pain and squeezed out his quota.

  …

  “Ye Yuan, scram outside for this Young Master! You, a pill refining guy, what are you joining in the fun with us martial artists for? Leaving Ancient Opulence City, what you lose will be our Ancient Opulence City’s face …”

  Gu Hua shouted fervently outside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s front door. The words got nastier and nastier and also drew quite a number of people to surround and watch.

  Originally, everyone was all rather baffled and even thought that because the Gu Family was jealous that Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s current business was good, so they deliberately came to make a scene.

  Who knew that after listening carefully, they discovered that it was completely not the case.

  “I say, Ye Yuan an alchemist, what is he joining in the fun blindly for? Although that Crimson Afterglow Valley reward is tempting, he also has to have the ability to get it!”

  “Yeah! Alchemists should study alchemy intensively properly. But now, he wants to go and compete in martial arts with people. Isn’t this ignoring one’s proper occupation?”

  “Gu Hua’s strength is already Fifth Level Level Boundless. Furthermore, his comprehension of concepts is very high. His strength is also sufficient to rank in the top three among the entire Ancient Opulence City’s junior generation. Ye Yuan snatching people’s slot like this is indeed rather virtuous. No wonder Gu Hua is so enraged.”

  Gu Hua stirring things up like this, everyone felt that Ye Yuan doing this was somewhat bullying others too far.

  This way of doing things was clearly occupying the latrine and not taking a dump.

  Right at this time, a large group of people walked out of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. The person in the lead was precisely Ye Yuan.

  When Gu Hua saw that Ye Yuan finally came out, he could not help looking pleased with himself.

  “Ye Yuan, you’re finally willing to come out. I even thought that you’re going to be a cowardly turtle for the rest of your life! Come, come, come, since you already came out, then let’s have a match. Let everyone take a look just who has the qualifications to represent Ancient Opulence City to battle!” Gu Hua said with a cold smile.

  Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, “You really want to compete?”

  “Of course! Could it be that I’d joke with you in front of so many people? Enough crap, fighting or not? If you don’t dare to fight, hand over the slot obediently! City Lord Your Excellency, I know that you have a friendly relation with Ye Yuan. But this sort of thing concerns the entire Ancient Opulence City’s reputation. I, Gu Hua, cannot back down!”

  Gu Hua had an appearance of awe-inspiring righteousness for the cause of justice, placing himself on the moral high ground. Even Pei Wenqiang could not say much either.

  Ye Yuan heaved a sigh slightly and said, “Alright then. Then I’m coming, you have to be ready!”

  Gu Hua did not think that Ye Yuan would actually fight at the drop of a hat and immediately raised all the essence energy in his body to his peak state!

  But right at this time, his neck went cold. A sharp longsword was already pressing against his neck.

  “You’ve already died.” Ye Yuan’s ghost-like voice sounded beside Gu Hua’s ears.

  Only all the way to this moment did the crowd react to it. Ye Yuan actually arrived behind Gu Hua since God knows when already.

  Just now, Ye Yuan just had to lightly swipe the Xuanying Sword, and he could claim Gu Hua’s small life.

  Him saying that Gu Hua was already dead was not overboard at all.

  Pei Wenqiang’s expression turned sharp, looking at Ye Yuan disbelievingly. With his boundary, of course, he could easily capture Ye Yuan’s speed.

  But that sort of speed earlier, was that what a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist should have?

  Could it be that this fellow’s strength was actually really so formidable?

  “Ye Yuan, you’re sneak
attacking here! Too despicable!” Gu Hua gritted his teeth and said.

  Gu Hua himself did not feel that Ye Yuan was formidable. Earlier, it was definitely Ye Yuan exploiting the time lag, that was how it caught him off guard!

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Is that so? Fine, I’ll give you five chances. As long as you’re able to avoid one of my swords, I’ll yield my spot with both hands. How’s that?”

  Gu Hua was overjoyed when he heard that and said, “You said it! At the time when you lose, you can’t go back on your word!”

  Although unwilling to admit it, Ye Yuan’s prowess, he still acknowledged it. Wanting to win Ye Yuan was probably not something that easy.

  But no matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, it was also not possible to make him unable to avoid even one sword, right?

  Since he was taking the path to ruin himself, Gu Hua was not courteous too.

  For the sake of this slot to fight in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition, even if people said that he won unscrupulously, he would accept it too!

  Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, “A word once spoken, cannot be overtaken even by a team of four horses!”

  Ye Yuan took away the sword and moved back, saying nonchalantly, “I’m coming. Are you ready this time or not?”

  The words dismissed casually made Gu Hua’s heart tighten. But this time, he gave his whole attention and watched Ye Yuan’s actions, fearful of missing a trace.

  Yet … there was a blur before Gu Hua’s eyes. Ye Yuan’s traces were actually gone before his eyes again!

  “You died again.”

  Ye Yuan’s ghost-like voice sounded beside Gu Hua’s ears once more. Xuanying Sword was placed on his neck one more time.

  “S-Such a swift movement technique! Is this really the movement technique executed by a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist?”

  “In front of such a movement technique, all martial techniques are pointless!”

  “Really didn’t expect that an alchemist actually has such a strange movement technique! Just based on this movement technique, he is unbeatable! Ye Yuan occupying a spot is fully worthy!”

  Ye Yuan’s movement technique made cries of exclamations sound out all around.

  Ye Yuan’s movement technique was too swift. Ordinary martial artists could not even catch his figure at all.

  Myriad laws in the world, only speed is unbroken!

  With such formidable movement technique, facing martial artists whose cultivation realms were higher than his, it was without fear.

  Gu Hua’s expression was incomparably ugly. He never would have thought that a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist would actually be so much stronger than him, this Boundless Realm, in terms of movement techniques!

  That time earlier, he already made ample preparations, but he still could not keep up with Ye Yuan’s speed.

  Ye Yuan removed the sword and backed off once more, saying without joy nor sorrow, “The third sword. Ready for it?”

  Gu Hua’s expression changed, his figure suddenly vanishing from where he stood.

  This time, he decided to strike first to gain the initiative and moved first himself!

  Right now, he was not thinking of doing anything to Ye Yuan at all. As long as he could avoid one of Ye Yuan’s swords, it was considered his win!

  Even though using this kind of method to obtain a slot was somewhat scrupulous, but so what?

  Yet, the next instant, Gu Hua suddenly felt a chill at his waist. Ye Yuan’s voice sounded out once more. “Dead.”

  Gu Hua’s expression changed drastically, suddenly changing directions in the air, wanting to escape Ye Yuan’s sword.

  But after two breaths, he died two times in a row again.

  In front of Ye Yuan’s powerful movement technique, he was actually unable to avoid even one sword.

  Which was also to say that if Ye Yuan really wanted to kill him, he just needed one sword and it was enough.

  Gu Hua suddenly sat down on the ground and said unresignedly, “I … I lost! This slot is yours!”

  With this, no one else dared to call Ye Yuan’s strength into question anymore.

  Even Gu Hua was utterly defeated at Ye Yuan’s hands. Him representing Ancient Opulence City to battle was fame following merit.

  Pei Wenqiang looked at Ye Yuan as if he saw a ghost and said in amazement, “I originally just wanted to return you a favor. But I didn’t expect that your movement technique is actually this strong! Looks like what you said before isn’t completely unfounded.”

  Ye Yuan just smiled and was too lazy to explain.

  After this incident, Ye Yuan choose to enter closed-seclusion immediately. This retreat was a month’s time.

  This period of time, it filled Zhao Qian with burning anxiety.

  Ye Yuan did not give her any explanation and just went into closed-seclusion, such that she had not got a clue at all just what kind of agreement Ye Yuan reached with Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company.

  One had to know that what the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company gave Ye Yuan was a gold token!

  Without having a holy lord class strength, it was totally impossible to obtain such a token.

  Which was also to say that Ye Yuan’s status in the eyes of those people in the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s headquarters was already comparable to a holy lord’s!

  In the beginning, Zhao Qian was very worried that some unforeseen changes would happen to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.

  But a month passed, and it seemed like there was no change at all. The Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s side was also unusually quiet, seemingly already given up on the Ancient Opulence City this stall.

  But Zhao Qian’s encroachment into the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s territory finally also stopped at 20%, this threshold. She could no longer cross over.

  A short roughly three month’s time, the Ancient Opulence City’s two major trading companies switched positions.

  The Meteor Trading Company became the number one major trading firm in one leap, while the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company became a second-rate trading company.

  In truth, the one who reaped the most profits in-between this was actually still the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Because their profit share was the highest.

  This one month’s time, Ye Yuan exhausted medicinal herbs valuing close to 10 million earth essence crystals, breaking through the threshold of late-stage Divine Traversing, and was on the verge of breaking through to Eighth Level Divine Traversing!

  With peak Seventh Level Divine Traversing strength, Ye Yuan finally had some confidence in the upcoming competition too.

  All the geniuses in the holy land gathered together. There was bound to be a batch of opponents with formidable strength.

  Ye Yuan’s disadvantage was on cultivation realm. Therefore, even if he rose one minor boundary, it could have a decisive impact on the final result.

  Through a month of settling down, after Ye Yuan left seclusion, Zhao Qian actually resisted and did not ask about the gold token matter.

  This made Ye Yuan unusually surprised and could not help regarding Zhao Qian a little higher.

  This lass was indeed not that simple, to actually even endure such a matter.

  After Ye Yuan exited seclusion, it was also time to leave Ancient Opulence City.

  Due to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s territory being too vast, the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time was divided into 10 major tournament zones.

  At each major tournament zone, all of the contestants would fight in chaotic battles, all the way until the final six was selected to take part in the ultimate selection competition.

  This tournament zone that Ye Yuan was at, there were close to 200 big and small forces.

  Which was also to say that just this tournament zone had several hundred contestants.

  These several
hundred contestants, the vast majority were all Boundless Realm martial artists. Of course, there was also a small minority of very self-confident Divine Traversing Realm martial artists like Ye Yuan.

  As for how far these Divine Traversing Realm martial artists could walk … no one would care about this at all. Because these Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were destined to be finished eliminating in the first round.

  This kind of major competition was very cruel. Without absolute strength, there was absolutely no way to stand out from the masses.

  Several hundred Boundless Realm martial artists, their cultivation realms did not have big differences. Wanting to enter the final six, one’s concepts comprehension and cultivation realm both had to be extremely outstanding.

  Yet, this was still only a start. The real showdown was still at the final tournament at the end!

  Therefore, wanting to ultimately obtain this chance to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley was too difficult, too difficult.

  Even though Ye Yuan was very confident in himself, but against those ultimate opponents, he did not dare to lower his guard too.

  To be able to charge to that sort of level, who would be mediocre?

  Ye Yuan had just left seclusion, and Pei Wenqiang received the news right away and rushed over. Behind him even tagged along two young men.

  “Ye Yuan, if you still don’t leave seclusion, we’d be leaving by ourselves! Oh?Not seeing you for a month, you’re actually almost reaching Eighth Level Divine Traversing already?” Pei Wenqiang was rather amazed at Ye Yuan’s cultivation speed.

  One had to know that the first time he met Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan had only just broken through to Fourth Level Divine Traversing.

  Just how long has it been? Ye Yuan actually broke through three minor cultivation realms already, reaching peak Seventh Level Divine Traversing.

  “Want to obtain the chance to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, how can it do if I don’t cultivate diligently?” Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  “What high-sounding sentiments! Punk, don’t think that you’re invincible under the heaven after defeating Gu Hua that trash! Among the people taking part in the competition this time, there are quite a number of people who are Ninth Level Boundless! Just based on your bit of strength and you even wish to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley?” behind Pei Wenqiang, a young man with an unruly expression said disdainfully.
