Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  Only by making it through the Nine Heavens Road could he prove that the degree of his talent did not lose out to Ye Yuan!

  This was a colossal gamble! If he lost this bet, then Long Tang would not even be able to keep his life!

  Under these circ.u.mstances, expectedly, many students felt that Long Tang was too narrow-minded, and this should not be the conduct of a rank one of the Martial Roll.

  As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan's talent had already long surpassed Long Tang in many students' heart. He was well-deserving for being number one in the academy!

  But Long Tang was unable to accept this reality, so he used his life to wager this name.

  Only Zuo Bugui knew about Long Tang's plan. Although he did not really understand it, it was definitely not acting on impulse.

  On the contrary, Long Tang was unprecedentedly calm right now! So calm until Zuo Bugui was unable to grasp his depth!

  Just several days without seeing him and Long Tang actually underwent such a huge transformation. Could it be that he was really enlightened?

  "Are you really going, Old Long?" At the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak, Zuo Bugui and Long Tang stood shoulder to shoulder.

  "Naturally," Long Tang replied casually.

  "Sigh. I know that I can't sway you so I won't persuade you anymore. I wish you good luck then."

  "En. I will succeed."

  Long Tang was wholly composed as if he was only explaining a fact.

  Zuo Bugui and Long Tang had been rivals for such a long time. He knew that he had never been an arrogant and conceited person. But where did he get his confidence?

  Just because Ye Yuan made it through? Long Tang was not so superficial, right?

  Long Tang went in front of the stone tablet, swore the Heavenly Dao Oath, and resolutely stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road!

  . . . . . .

  At the back of the mountain, in the abode of the Disciplinary Hall's First Elder. Su Yubai looked at Su Yishan with a dark face.

  "Yishan, you are the future patriarch of the Su Family. How can you not weigh the importance when doing things? You've disappointed me greatly in this matter!" Su Yubai reprimanded him relentlessly.

  Su Yishan sweated profusely and bowed as he said, "I was wrong, Second Uncle."

  "Do you know where you were wrong?"

  "I should not have get involved with that crazy woman!"

  Speaking of Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan also gnashed his teeth in hatred. That woman was a troublemaker, drawing major problems for him.

  "You're wrong! It's just a woman. With your identity and status, what kind of woman can't you have? You were wrong not because of provoking that woman, but for provoking Ye Yuan! You clearly knew that this woman came to find you to avoid Ye Yuan and you actually dared to shelter her! If it was just sheltering her, then forget it. But you became enemies with Ye Yuan for her beauty!" Su Yubai's words shot out extremely fast.

  Su Yishan gritted his teeth and said, "Merely a Ye Yuan, who would have thought that he could actually make Wu Luochen work for him? Otherwise . . ."

  "Otherwise what? Kill him? If I didn't make it on time, even if you killed Ye Yuan, you also can't escape death yourself! Even though the high sect hasn't come over to name Ye Yuan, his status as a core disciple can no longer be changed. Did you consider the consequences of killing a high sect's core disciple? You're the next patriarch of the Su Family. How could you do things without thinking it through?" Su Yubai reproved him.

  Su Yishan shuddered. Back then, he was in the heat of the moment. How would he have considered so much?

  Now that he thought about it, he was genuinely fearful.

  Seeing Su Yishan's appearance, Su Yubai grunted coldly. "Do you understand now?"

  Su Yishan s.u.c.k.e.d in deeply and nodded, saying, "Many thanks for Second Uncle's teachings. This child understood."

  "Understood what?"

  "Killing Ye Yuan must be a one blow certain kill! Otherwise, hitting the snake and not killing it will result in injuries! Since we're in the academy and I have no way of killing him, I shouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke him. The result was getting skunk juice all over me! Second Uncle, this child still underestimated Ye Yuan. The speed of his growth . . . is too quick!" Although he did not wish to admit it, Su Yishan already acknowledged Ye Yuan's power.

  The anger on Su Yubai's face finally subsided and what replaced it was a satisfied look.

  "That's right! You're the young patriarch of the Su Family. How you want to play with women is not an issue. But there's one thing. Never, ever, hold up important things because of women. Why did I want to publicly kill Ye Yuan? That's because I saw his future threat! Although I didn't succeed, that was just an accident. Since the matter cannot be done, then we will temporarily put it aside. Why shouldn't we make good use of such a fine opportunity like the Endless Trials when it's placed right there. The Endless Trials is our best chance, and also our last chance! Hence, Ye Yuan must die inside the Endless Forest!"

  Chapter 119 - Preparing for the Trials

  "If it was before Ye Yuan tackled the Nine Heavens Road, I had full confidence in killing him. But I don't have that much confidence in killing the current Ye Yuan even though he can't defeat me," Su Yishan said with knitted brows.

  Su Yishan had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan. He estimated that his strength was roughly around rank 50 or so on the Martial Roll.

  He naturally would not take to heart this level of strength. But if Ye Yuan was bent on running, he really had no certainty of holding Ye Yuan.

  After all, Ye Yuan would not stand there and wait stupidly for his Heaven Flipping Palm.

  Su Yubai retrieved a pill bottle and passed it to Su Yishan. "This bottle contains Spirit Essence Pills. After you consume then, take these two days to breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. After you reach the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing him shouldn't be difficult, right?"

  Su Yishan's eyes shone, and he quickly received the medicinal pills.

  To the top ten geniuses on the Martial Roll, the allure of the Spirit Essence Pill was enormous. This could be seen from Su Yubai and Long Tang's wager.

  After reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm, the difficulty of breaking through realms would increase tremendously. With Spirit Essence Pills, it would be equivalent to saving a great deal of time for cultivation.

  Some people when they get stuck in the minor realm, it would be half a year gone. At that time, it would not be so easy if they wanted to catch up to others.

  It had already been a while since Long Tang got the Spirit Essence Pill, but he did not use it this whole time. One could see that he viewed the Spirit Essence Pill equally importantly.

  Su Yishan said confidently, "Not difficult. Of course not difficult at all! As long as I breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing Ye Yuan will be a simple matter!"

  Su Yubai nodded his head. Clearly, he felt that this speech was not exaggerated.

  Su Yishan was the best seedling in the Su Family. Otherwise, he would not be so heavily nurtured. After breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan's combat prowess would surely advance into the top five!

  Among the top five students on the Martial Roll, only Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. The rest were all at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

  Su Yishan enjoyed resources far beyond other people. If he could not even get into the top five, then he could forget about his position as the young patriarch.

  Taking care of Ye Yuan was naturally easy for the top five on the Martial Roll.

  "I've already asked your father to send out the Chang brothers to cooperate with you to eliminate Ye Yuan! They are currently already concealed inside the Endless Forest. Once the Endless Trials begins, they would target Ye Yuan. At that time, make contact with them, and come up with a foolproof plan. You must kill Ye Yuan! Remember, if you don't move, then stay low. Once you move, you
must kill! You absolutely mustn't give Ye Yuan any breathing space! Understand?" Su Yubai said in a low voice.

  This was not a discussion anymore, but an order.

  He knew that Su Yishan more or less had a young master's attitude and might feel it was beneath him to cooperate with those retainers.

  But no matter what, achieving the goal of killing Ye Yuan was the most critical objective among priorities. The others were of no significance, including Su Yishan's pride.

  . . . . . .

  Long Tang charged out of the sea of fire looking rather ragged.

  However, looking at his eyes right now, it was filled with indescribable l.u.s.ter.

  "So, this is the Nine Heavens Road! Although it's exceedingly treacherous, it's also a limitless treasure trove!" Long Tang gasped in admiration.

  Long Tang could not compare to Ye Yuan. The first stage's concepts to Ye Yuan was simply unqualified to make the cut.

  But to Long Tang, these concept checkpoints were remarkably perilous. But after the dangers, Long Tang managed to grasp some things, letting him reap many benefits.

  Long Tang did not continue rushing. He meditated on the spot to comprehend his harvests just now.

  Long Tang's strength lied in his perception. Otherwise, what right did he have to seat at the first place of the Martial Roll when he was only at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm?

  In the top five, only Long Tang alone was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. His combat prowess was evident.

  One had to know that there was a minor stage gap between the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Hence, he could also comprehend some things which others were unable to on the Nine Heavens Road. It was just that this way, his clearing speed became exceptionally slow, showing a sharp contrast from Ye Yuan clearing the checkpoints.

  After two days had passed, Long Tang merely made it past the first stage.

  "No way. Isn't Senior Apprentice Brother Long going to have his face slapped until it swells like a fatty's like this? It's already so hard for him to make it past the first stage. What should he do about the later stages?"

  "Sigh. This also can't be helped. If I were rank one on the Martial Roll with my position being challenged like that by Ye Yuan, I might also come and challenge the Nine Heavens Road too!"

  "Forget it. Looking at Senior Apprentice Brother Long, I reckon that it's going to be very tough to come down from up there. After all, not everybody can create such miracles like Ye Yuan."

  "En, I think so too. Although Senior Apprentice Brother Long is incredible, everyone unanimously agreed that his degree of monstrousness is inferior to Mo Yuntian. If Senior Apprentice Brother Long had confidence in challenging the Nine Heavens Road, he would have come long ago. Why wait until today?"

  "Sigh, forget it. Let's leave. It's going to be the Endless Trials in two days. With Senior Apprentice Brother Long's speed, I reckon that he won't make it in time.

  As the Endless Trials approached, many students dispersed from the Nine Heavens Road. The foot of the Nine Heavens Peak promptly became deserted.

  . . . . . .

  One day later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.

  There was still one day before the Endless Trials began. He needed to prepare some things to bring into the Endless Forest.

  Ye Yuan knew that this trip would definitely be very perilous!

  He already offended Su Yubai and Su Yishan thoroughly. They did not dare to make a move within the academy, so they definitely would not let go of the chance called the Endless Trials.

  But this journey to the Endless Forest was imperative for Ye Yuan. He had no choice but to take this risk for Lu-er!

  The medicinal pill Ye Yuan was planning on refining for Lu-er was called the Essence Yang Pill, a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill in the Divine Realm.

  This pill was extremely difficult to refine, and the herbs required were also exceptionally harsh.

  There were three core ingredients in the Essence Yang Pill. All of them were exceedingly rare herbs. Only this sort of dangerous, yet resource-rich place like the Endless Forest would have it.

  Also, Ye Yuan happened to know the location of one of the core ingredients. This core ingredient was precisely the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python inner core!

  That was also because Ye Yuan took note of it back when treating the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python poison for that brawny man, and asked for the whereabouts of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. But he did not expect that it would really come in handy now!

  One might say it was coincidental, but in reality, it was inevitable.

  Ye Yuan was infatuated with the Alchemy Dao in his past life and would naturally be very interested in rare medicinal herbs. This sort of good habit also carried forth till today.

  The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python possessed a divine beast bloodline. Its inner core's attribute was extreme indomitable yang, perfect for restraining Lu-er's frost poison.

  And the other two core ingredients were similarly extreme yang plants. One was called Crimson Soul Grass, the other was Pine Yang Fruit.

  Although these two items were hard to find, they were not undetectable. Through Huyan Yong, Ye Yuan already roughly knew the possible locations where these two herbs would appear.

  But the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python had incredible might. It was a middle-rank Tier 2 demonic beast; equivalent to a human second stage Spirit Condensation Realm expert. This was also an extremely thorny problem for Ye Yuan.

  However, Ye Yuan still had another objective for going to the Endless Forest, which was to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

  Chapter 120 - Who’s Protecting Whom?

  The Essence Yang Pill was incredibly challenging to refine. Even Ye Hang definitely could not refine it.

  Hence, if he did not break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be entirely useless for Lu-er even if Ye Yuan found these medicinal herbs,

  However, although breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm might be very difficult for other people, it was a simple matter to Ye Yuan this Alchemy Emperor.

  Closed-seclusion for two days, but Ye Yuan's realm was not fully consolidated yet. Otherwise, he could break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm right now.

  His advancement speed from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was too swift!

  Even though comprehending Heart Like Still Water eliminated the hidden dangers brought about by advancing realms too quickly to the extremity, it would affect future cultivation if not properly consolidated.

  Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to be careless about this.

  To talk about the best way to consolidate cultivation realm, it was undoubtedly to experience numerous fights.

  And what the Endless Forest lacked the least was demonic beasts. Ye Yuan could fight and consolidate his cultivation at the same time.

  One of the preparation work Ye Yuan had to do right now was to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill called Spirit Surge Pill.

  This medicinal pill could increase the probability when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. If it was transcendent-grade, and it could increase the probability to 100%!

  Refining the Spirit Surge Pill with Ye Yuan's current strength was a breeze!

  Furthermore, other people required half-step Spirit Condensation Realm as a buffer when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was entirely unnecessary for Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan had the past experience of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. Compressing essence energy to him was an extremely simple matter. Hence, there was completely no need to tread on thin ice like the rest.

  . . . . . .

  After tinkering the whole night in Feng Ruoqing's pill refinement room, Ye Yuan finally settled everything.

  Ye Yuan saw Feng Ruoqing and Feng Zhirou after leaving the pill refinement room, but not Huyan Yong.

 
Feng Ruoqing's face had thick worry written all over it, making Ye Yuan very curious.

  "What happened, Teacher Feng?"

  "Huyan Yong has been temporarily transferred out by the academy. He headed for a small city at the borders of the State of Qin to take care of business," Feng Ruoqing said.

  Ye Yuan understood in a flash. He smiled and asked, "Is Teacher Feng being transferred out as well?"

  Feng Ruoqing could not help commending Ye Yuan's nimble mind. She nodded and said, "There's another batch of students going to take part in the alchemist test tomorrow. It's still going to be me leading the group this time. Actually, Teacher Huyan was originally preparing to enter the Endless Forest to protect you."

  "Heh heh. What a move to lure the tiger away from its lair. However, if they want my life, they got to have the capability first!" Not only was Ye Yuan undaunted, but he was also raring to go instead.

  Seeing the situation, Feng Ruoqing could not help being concerned. "Ye Yuan, I know that you are very strong. But your current realm is too low. Why not give up the Endless Trials trip this time around? You passed the Nine Heavens Road. Even if you don't undergo the Endless Trials, they also won't dare do anything to you."

  Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No way. I can afford to delay, but Lu-er's condition can't. Helping her to suppress the frost poison will only last for another month at most. At that time, even if my Master personally came, he would also be unable to save her. Relax. It's just one Su Yishan. I still couldn't care less."

  However, Feng Zhirou had a disdainful look right then. "Looking at your supercilious appearance, you'll suffer a loss sooner or later! Are you still uninformed? Just yesterday, Su Yishan already successfully broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Now, even if I match up with him, I might not gain an advantage over him."

  Ye Yuan had grown accustomed to Feng Ruoqing's speech manner long ago and did not mind her disparaging remarks in the slightest.

  "Oh, Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? Huum, indeed a little troublesome." Ye Yuan stroked his chin as he said with a frown.
