Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

  ". . . Fine, I won't talk." Yang Hao finally chose to compromise, so he could only come to terms.

  The crowd also saw that these two people were transmitting their voices, but nobody knew what on earth the pair were talking about.

  Suddenly, Ye Yuan's face turned frosty again, and he said to Wan Donghai, "Wan Donghai! You haven't come to pay respects. Do you really want to slight the high sect?"

  Another large charge clamped down on him, but this time, Wan Donghai did not lose his head like before, because there was still another core disciple around!

  Wan Donghai looked at Yang Hao with eager eyes, but Yang Hao had an icy face as he said, "What are you staring blankly for? Go and pay respects! Could it be that this Yang Hao's Junior Apprentice Brother is not worthy for you to pay respect to?"

  Gah?

  What sort of situation was this?

  Everyone was stunned!

  Ye Hang, Nanfeng Lou, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Su Yulin and his brother were all collectively stunned!

  What the hell was this? Wasn't the change in attitude too quick?

  Wasn't he still prepared to exchange blows with Ye Yuan just now? Why did the wind direction change in a blink of an eye and he became apprentice brothers with Ye Yuan?

  Of course, the one who was the most stunned was still Wan Donghai.

  He had just prepared to straighten his waist. Now, he had to bend back down.

  Oh, this old waist . . .

  Seeing no action taken by Wan Donghai for some time, Yang Hao said impatiently, "What? Didn't you hear what I say, Manor Lord Wan?"

  "Ah? I . . ."

  Wan Donghai was so stifled. He fought with Ye Hang for so many years without even paying obeisance to each other. But now, he had to show deference to his son.

  "You what you, hurry up! Are you still planning on holding this Pill Grading Assembly or not?" Yang Hao said with a frown.

  Wan Donghai knew that he could not avoid this, so he gritted his teeth and gave Ye Yuan a deep bow. "Wan Donghai pays respect to the high sect's core disciple, Mister Ye!"

  Ye Yuan chortled and said, 'Quickly rise, Manor Lord Wan. This bow of yours really humbles me greatly!"

  Finishing, Ye Yuan suddenly turned to Su Yulin and said with a smile, "Su Family Head, isn't it your turn?"

  Su Yulin was stupefied. He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually point the gun barrel at him. When he reacted, he could not help bursting into a rage.

  As a matter of fact, his Su Family's position in the State of Qin was indeed much higher than the Wan Family's. But in front of a colossal behemoth like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the Su Family and Wan Family were no different.

  Ye Yuan was using his status as the high sect's core disciple to pay respects now. If he were to not show deference, wouldn't that be willful disobedience?

  But the problem was that Ye Yuan could very well be the murderer who killed Su Yishan!

  Asking him to pay respect to the enemy who killed his son? That was impossible!

  "Don't go too overboard, Ye Yuan! I haven't even settled the scores with you about Yishan's matters!" Su Yulin roared angrily.

  Ye Yuan ignored him, his gaze floating over to Yang Hao's behind again.

  Yang Hao was about to crumble. He said in a low voice, "Su Family Head, it's just paying respect. You also won't lose a piece of flesh! By right, you should pay respect to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye!"

  Chapter 194 - Inciting Public Sentiment

  Su Yulin's face turned green. He looked towards Ye Yuan with eyes brimming with killing intent, as if he was looking at a dead man.

  With Su Yulin's relations, he could, in fact, ignore Yang Hao.

  But what Yang Hao represented was not himself, but Yao Qian behind him!

  Today's matter was excessively important. To the Su Family, it could not afford any slightest room for error. If he were to lose the entire game due to offending Yao Qian, then he, Su Yulin, would be the sinner of the Su Family.

  Thinking up to this point, Su Yulin simply shut his eyes and gave Ye Yuan a bow. "Su Yulin, pays respect to the high sect's core disciple, Mister Ye!"

  Su Yulin deliberately dragged out the 'Ye' to express his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

  But Ye Yuan did not mind. He chuckled and said, "Looks like the Su Family is still very respectful towards my Tranquil Cloud Sect. Not bad, not bad! Hey, it's getting late, what's everyone still standing here for? Standing until my legs are already aching. Manor Lord Wan, is this your way of treating guests?"

  Wan Donghai was so furious in his heart!

  Just who was the one making a displaying of might and delaying everyone from going in?

  Now that you finished posturing, you even say that your legs are aching?! I've never heard of any Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist whose legs ache after standing a while!

  "Mister Yang, Brother Yulin, please!" Wan Donghai shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan and then said to Yang Hao and Su Yulin.

  The group of people headed for the inner hall. Nanfeng Ruoqing's and Ye Yuan's eyes met as they smiled and also went in.

  . . . . . .

  The Drunken Star Manor specially opened up an enormous hall just for today's grand event. It was enough to house all the big and small families in the capital.

  This spectacle was even grander than the Imperial Family's state banquet. It clearly already surpassed that.

  But at this time, nobody was paying heed to these anymore. After today's exchange, there would surely be one side who must withdraw from the stage of history.

  After Su Yulin and the rest sat down, Wan Donghai went to the center of the great hall. He spoke in a clear voice, "Everyone, today, the aim of our Drunken Star Manor organizing this Pill Grading Assembly is to promote our State of Qin's medicinal pill business! Next, I would like to introduce a distinguished guest to everyone first."

  Speaking up to this point, Wan Donghai paused to create suspense.

  Indeed, those aristocrats looked towards Yang Hao, because he was seated in the most prominent position!

  Everybody was speculating just who this young man was, to actually seat in the seat of honor above Nanfeng Lou and Su Yulin.

  And those two person's faces were calm as if they were not at all unhappy.

  "This person hails from the high sect, core disciple Mister Yang. He represents the high sect this trip to cheer on this Pill Grading Assembly of ours!" Wan Donghai introduced loudly.

  With Wan Donghai's introduction, the audience burst into an uproar.

  Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple. This identity was too ill.u.s.trious!

  No wonder he could seat above the Imperial Family and Su Family.

  Don't look at how these people could summon wind and rain in the State of Qin. In all of their years, they might not have really met anyone who came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.

  "No way? The Wan Family can actually call down a core disciple from the high sect? There's probably going to be a good show to watch today!"

  "Hehe, a high sect core disciple coming to pay tribute to the Wan Family. There is much food for thought involved in this."

  "Could it be that the high sect is already displeased with the Imperial Family? Originally, today was only to come and view the new medicinal pills. To think that something like this actually happened! I wonder how the Nanfeng Family is going to handle this big introduction from the Su Family!"

  "Who cares! We're all merchants; what we pursue is benefits. As long as there's money to be made, who cares whom the emperor is? My goal of coming here today is to seize the power of agency for the new medicinal pills!"

  "Humph! I'm definitely getting these new medicinal pills' distribution right!"

  "Heh heh, then to each his own! I've already put down an arm and leg for today's Pill Grading Assembly. How can I possibly lose to you?!"

  For some time, there were clamors among the nobles.

  When Su Yulin saw this scene, he involuntarily felt great satisfaction.

  He planned for so many
years. Finally, he could realize his ambition!

  Once Yang Hao, this big move, was executed, it was equal to him winning half the battle!

  What Yang Hao represented was the Tranquil Cloud Sect. If even the Tranquil Cloud Sect supported him, there should not be a need for him to waste his breath on which side these people should stand on, right?

  Su Yulin's gaze swept around but finally landed on Ye Yuan, his complexion turning icy involuntarily.

  Ye Yuan seemed to have sensed something and looked towards him, even flashing him a grin.

  Not knowing why, being looked at like that by Ye Yuan made Su Yulin feel uneasy.

  Su Yulin had a feeling that the greatest variable today would lie with Ye Yuan!

  Su Yulin also could not verbalize why he had this sort of feeling, but he just felt that the threat from Ye Yuan was even greater than Ye Hang's!

  This sort of feeling was very unusual. Ye Yuan clearly only had Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation. He simply could not join in the conflict between Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.

  But why was this sort of feeling still so intense? Was it because of Ye Yuan's performance outside?

  Although Ye Yuan also had core disciple status now, he was simply incomparable to Yang Hao.

  Even if Ye Yuan flashed his identity, Su Yulin also had ways to make a comeback!

  "Cough, cough, everyone! Quiet down!" Wan Donghai made a silence gesture with his hands. After the great hall quieted down, he said in a loud voice again, "Mister Yang is the high sect's Pill Hall elder's, Yao Qian's, disciple! Elder Yao and Elder Ouyang are bosom friends! Today, for Mister Yang to come for the Pill Grading Assembly, this Wan expresses my heartfelt gratitude!"

  Another huge commotion!

  Even though everyone had some speculations, with Wan Donghai saying it out, it still made everybody draw in a cold breath.

  In many people's hearts, the scales had already completely tipped over to the Su Family's side!

  This was likely the greatest calamity faced by the Nanfeng Family since the establishment of the State of Qin!

  Countless people's gaze looked over to Nanfeng Lou, their eyes filled with sympathy.

  They were aware that the Nanfeng Family also had ties to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. But they were totally negligible compared to the entire Pill Hall!

  "No way? What does Wan Donghai mean? Could this be the high sect's Pill Hall showing their attitude in wanting to dispose of the Nanfeng Family?"

  "Unlikely! Without extenuating circ.u.mstances, the high sect won't intervene in the secular world's replacement of the imperial authority! If the Su Family had the support of the entire Pill Hall, then it probably wouldn't be just one core disciple who came. They would also have no need to host this Pill Grading Assembly!"

  "En, what you said is right. But even so, this influence borrowed by the Su Family is also too strong!"

  "Yeah! The Nanfeng Family is in danger this time!"

  Just two sentences from Wan Donghai already smashed apart all the hopes of the Nanfeng Family.

  Nanfeng Lou sat in the position beneath Yang Hao, his expression looking very ugly. Even Nanfeng Ruoqing beside him also did not look too good.

  This move from the Su Family was too ruthless!

  Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing were seized with a sudden impulse to look at Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan flashed his identity, would it be of aid to this situation?

  The pair exchanged glances, but Nanfeng Ruoqing shook her head slightly.

  It was true that Ye Yuan obtained core disciple status, but he had not even entered the sect yet. Even if he revealed his identity, it would not help things at all.

  The terror of Yang Hao's identity did not lie in him being a core disciple, but in the Pill Hall behind him!

  Under this sort of circ.u.mstances, what should be done? Nanfeng Ruoqing could not but to panic secretly.

  Chapter 195 - Three New Types of Medicinal Pills!

  Yang Hao sat at the seat of honor in a lofty manner.

  In his eyes, these secular world people were just a bunch of ants.

  As his gaze swept through the faces of those nobles, there were either nervousness, or at a loss, or excitement, all the facets of humanity, so on and so forth. It made him feel like he was overlooking all life.

  Finally, his gaze swept over to Ye Yuan who was opposite him, and his face involuntarily froze up.

  The mood which just got a little better instantly vanished with a puff.

  This fellow was really hateful! However, he most likely would not survive today either way!

  Thinking up to here, Yang Hao could not help feeling secretly pleased.

  A core disciple who had yet to enter the sect was killed in a secular world conflict. With the addition of his master and Elder Ouyang covering up in the middle, the outcome would just be left inconclusive.

  Right then, Wan Donghai continued, "I think that before everyone came today, you've already heard about the contents of today's Pill Grading Assembly. That's right. Today, our Drunken Star Manor will be launching three new types of medicinal pills never before seen on the market. The launch of these three new kinds of medicinal pills will be the beginning of a new era for our State of Qin's alchemy world! Now, we will be uncovering the mysterious veil of these three new kinds of medicinal pills!"

  One had to admit, apart from alchemy, Wan Donghai's ability to inciting public sentiment was not something that Ye Hang could compare to.

  In contrast to Wan Donghai, Ye Hang lacked a portion of worldly sophistication and had more personal charisma.

  Yes, the reason why the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could still hang on until now under the Drunken Star Manor powerful attacks was due to Ye Hang's personal charisma!

  From the day Ye Hang took a step back until today, not a single Fragrant Medicine Pavilion employee left the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!

  If both parties were to swap positions, the Drunken Star Manor would have probably collapsed long ago.

  However, as the saying went, 'as virtue rise one foot, vice rises ten.' Wan Donghai's operating methods were inexhaustible. This was also the reason why the Drunken Star Manor could steadily suppress the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.

  But today, the stirring by Wan Donghai's words was no doubt lethal!

  Wan Donghai went to the table arranged in the center of the great hall. On the table, three exquisite jade trays were laid out. The jade trays were covered using a red cloth so the objects on them could not be seen clearly.

  But everybody knew that what was placed on these three jade trays were those three new types of medicinal pills!

  These three kinds of medicinal pills captured everyone's hearts!

  Wan Donghai held the jade tray on the left-hand side in his hands and gently removed the red cloth covering on top of it, revealing three gray colored medicinal pills.

  "I believe that everyone isn't a stranger to the Qi Returning Pill. To martial artists, Qi Returning Pills are a necessity! These few medicinal pills in my hands are the new and improved Qi Returning Pills. Its name is True Qi Returning Pill! The True Qi Returning Pill's essence energy recovery speed is 50% greater than the Qi Returning Pill!"

  When Wan Donghai's words fell, the scene immediately exploded.

  "Oh my god! 50%! If this True Qi Returning Pill was launched, wouldn't all the Qi Returning Pills in my shop be unsellable?"

  "Sigh, after today, we're all going to become the Drunken Star Manor's vassals!"

  "Just one True Qi Returning Pill already have such effects. I really don't know what the other two types of medicinal pills are."

  Unequivocally, improving medicinal pills was exceedingly challenging. To raise the effects of the Qi Returning Pill by 50%, as long as the price was not overly absurd, once the True Qi Returning Pill was launched, it would surely monopolize the market!

  Coupled with the Essence Gathering Pill, the Drunken Star Manor could just wait to open their doors and count money in the future. The other forces
were basically screwed already.

  Hence, for these merchants to survive, they could only be reduced to the Drunken Star Manor's vassals, becoming their agents!

  This way, their stalls would basically become the Drunken Star Manor's branch.

  Wan Donghai smiled faintly and placed the True Qi Returning Pill in his hand down. He lifted up the middle jade tray to give another introduction.

  "The medicinal pill placed on this jade tray is not an improved version, but a newly invented type of medicinal pill! Its name is Essence Converting Pill!" Speaking up to here, Wan Donghai purposely slowed his words and came to a halt.

  Indeed, once people heard that it was a newly invented type of medicinal pill, they immediately could not resist.

  "Stop beating around the bush, Manor Lord Wan! Quickly tell us what the medicinal effects of this Essence Converting Pill are already!"

  "Yeah, Manor Lord Wan! Just what on earth is the use of this Essence Converting Pill?"

  . . . . . .

  Wan Donghai saw that the time was almost right before saying with a smile, 'The medicinal effects of this Essence Converting Pill is to raise the cultivation of Essence Qi Realm martial artists by one realm unconditionally! However, a martial artist can only use it once in their lifetime. Consuming it again will not have any effects at all."

  "No way, right? Unconditionally raising an Essence Qi Realm martial artist's cultivation by one realm? This is too exaggerated, right?"

  "You aren't lying to us, Manor Lord Wan?"

  "Are you kidding? When martial artists begin cultivation, it has always been about acc.u.mulating essence energy. I've never even heard that there are such medicinal pills! This is too preposterous!"

  Nobody believed Wan Donghai's words.

  People were like this. Once something surpassed their boundary of understanding, they would instinctively choose to not believe.

  Wan Donghai smiled and said, "I know that everyone has doubts about the effects of the Essence Converting Pill. Hence, I'll test this medicinal pill right now in front of all of you!"

  Right at this time, a Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist walked out. He took an Essence Converting Pill from Wan Donghai's hands and directly consumed it.
