Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

How was this possible?

  Skymaple's good mood was completely ruined by this.

  He obviously knew that nominating Ye Yuan to be the vice hall head was somewhat abrupt, but he knew that Ye Yuan's level was sufficient to take on this position!

  These few days, he had a lot of exchanges with Ye Yuan. Although Ye Yuan had always maintained a disciple's manners and his words were very restrained, he still inadvertently revealed his erudite knowledge about Alchemy Dao!

  The things that Ye Yuan talked about far surpassed the boundary of Alchemy Master. It even surpassed the boundary of Quasi-Alchemy King!

  He absolutely had the ability to be this vice hall head!

  Skymaple even had a feeling that Ye Yuan was only unable to refine Tier 3 and Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills because his cultivation realm was not there yet! If Ye Yuan's realm were sufficient, refining Tier 3 and Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills would be as easy as flipping his hands!

  Moreover, Skymaple had another consideration. Placing a heavy emphasis on Ye Yuan also showed the sect's emphasis on him. This definitely had enormous advantages in building a good relationship with that enigmatic master behind Ye Yuan!

  Ye Yuan's master was bound to be an Alchemy Sovereign existence. He might even be a high-rank Alchemy Sovereign like Ouyang Tuotian!

  Such an existence, even if he just took care of the Tranquil Cloud Sect slightly, it could let the sect enjoy tremendous benefits!

  These fools did not understand anything, all objecting fervently. Skymaple was furious.

  Bang!

  Skymaple slammed a palm on the tea table beside the old-fashioned wooden armchair. The abnormally tenacious and tough Profound Dipper Wood tea table instantly turned into dust.

  Seeing this scene, everyone was secretly alarmed. Grand Elder apparently really became angry!

  Skymaple's eyes swept across each person's face. These elders all did not dare to meet his gaze.

  "Good! Very good! All these years, I've been in a half-seclusion state. Looks like after not coming out for too long, nobody is taking this old man seriously anymore! Today, I'm going to make Ye Yuan the Pill Hall Vice Hall Head! Anyone else who dares to object will be expelled from the sect!" Skymaple directly used his trump card.

  Once Skymaple's words came out, everybody was immediately as quiet as cicadas in winter.

  As a matter of fact, it was really as Skymaple said. He had not appeared for too long already. Hence, everyone more or less took him lightly in their minds!

  The blood surged to all of their heads just now. They instinctively felt that letting a Spirit Condensation Realm brat be the Pill Hall's Vice Hall Head was truly a mockery.

  Except, they did not imagine that Grand Elder was actually going to kick them elders outside the walls because of Ye Yuan!

  At this time, Luo Qingfeng who remained quiet the whole time finally stood up.

  Skymaple already said his words to such an extent. He could not remain silent any longer.

  "I wonder why Martial Uncle wants to appoint Ye Yuan?" Luo Qingfeng asked respectfully.

  Seeing that it was Luo Qingfeng enquiring, Skymaple's expression eased up slightly as he said solemnly, "All of you are aware of the level nine mission that this seat hung in the Support Star Pavilion, right?"

  "Of course, we know. The mission Martial Uncle issued was to complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill," Luo Qingfeng said.

  Skymaple nodded and said, "In truth, it was all thanks to Ye Yuan completing the pill formula that this seat could refine out the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill this time! Furthermore, during the refinement process, Ye Yuan even provided huge assistance! Of course, this is not the main point! The most important thing was that I acquired the Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, the Soul Driving Pill's formula from Ye Yuan on behalf of the sect. That's to say, you people are all the future beneficiaries of this pill formula! So, you people tell me, does Ye Yuan deserve to be the vice hall head?"

  Luo Qingfenge's face changed when he heard this. "There's actually such a thing?!"

  "Ye Yuan completed the pill formula? How is this possible? He's only a low-rank Alchemy Master!"

  "Yeah! The thing he took out before was only the True Rising Spirit Pill formula, just a Tier 1 medicinal pills, that's all. The Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill is a Tier 4 medicinal pill!"

  "Could it be that Ye Yuan really has a formidable master? Also . . . a Quasi-Tier 4 Soul Driving Pill. This name sounds a lot like the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. Can it be . . ."

  "Can it be that we all have a chance to break through?"

  All the elders were incredibly shocked. A low-rank Alchemy Master completed a Tier 4 medicinal pill! This was simply inconceivable!

  At this point, there was no longer anybody who doubted that there really was a powerful master behind Ye Yuan.

  However, what they minded was not this. What they took notice of was the Soul Driving Pill!

  There was nobody who could resist the temptation of breakthrough!

  "This . . . Since this is the case, I have no objections!" Luo Qingfeng pondered for a long time before saying.

  "I agree as well!" Xiao Jian was the first to show his stand.

  . . . . . .

  The objections became waves of approval.

  Yao Qian's face was as ugly as it could get. With a sway of his body, Ye Yuan actually rode above his head!

  Thinking of how Ye Yuan would boss him around to make him do things in the future, Yao Qian felt just as disgusted as he had just eaten a fly!

  Yao Qian really wished to yell out 'I disagree,' but the weight of his words in this situation was too feeble. Furthermore, Skymaple said that if anyone dared to object again, they would be directly expelled!

  Yao Qian could only swallow these two words back into his stomach and let it fester.

  The game was set. Skymaple's expression looked much better.

  "Since that's the case, then from today onwards, Ye Yuan will be . . ."

  "Hang on!" Skymaple was talking when Ye Yuan interrupted halfway.

  "En? What do you want to say, Ye Yuan?" Skymaple asked in puzzlement.

  Ye Yuan stood up and gave a bow to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng. He slowly said, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, I can't take this vice hall head position!"

  Chapter 247 - Exchange

  This matter underwent another unexpected change!

  As the party involved, Ye Yuan actually rejected Grand Elder's appointment!

  This matter hit one snag after another, leaving the elders at somewhat of a loss on what to do.

  "Ye Yuan, are you worried that you can't control these punks? Don't worry, with me around, none of them will dare to disobey your orders!"

  Skymaple did not imagine that Ye Yuan could actually voice out his rejection either. But he soon realized what it was that Ye Yuan was worried about.

  Ye Yuan said, "Not this reason. This disciple thank Grand Elder very much for your great kindness. It's just that this vice hall head position, disciple really cannot accept it!"

  Skymaple asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

  "This disciple entered the sect to hone the Martial Path. That's why I entered the Martial Hall. This disciple's strength is paltry. I originally wanted to compete with the seniors in the Martial Hall. Once I take on this vice hall head position, it wouldn't be appropriate to spar with other seniors about the Martial Path," Ye Yuan stated a reason that surprised everyone.

  "This . . . Your alchemic talent is so peerless. Walking the Martial Path is truly a waste!" Skymaple sighed emotionally.

  Alchemists just needed to bother with cultivating essence energy and simply did not need to worry about combat power. But to martial artists, essence energy was only the foundation to unleash combat power. What they had to do was to maximize combat power to the greatest!

  Skymaple himself was an alchemist. Seeing that Ye Yuan was so amazing in the Alchemy Path, he naturally hoped for him to walk the Alchemy Path.

  Little did he realize
that Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao had already reached the acme of perfection!

  "Thank you, Grand Elder, for your adulation. But at present, to me, the Martial Path is still more important! I hope that Grand Elder can permit it!" Ye Yuan said earnestly.

  Seeing that Ye Yuan's was bent on this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Skymaple's face. He could only say, "Since that's the case, then this matter is over. However, I still want to give you the position of nominal elder. In the Pill Hall, your status is not beneath theirs."

  Hearing these words, Yao Qian's mood which just had a turn for the better returned to its original state.

  The so-called nominal elder was that they could ignore Pill Hall work, but enjoy the treatment of an elder. Kind of like only drawing a salary but not doing work.

  That was also to say that as long as Ye Yuan took on this appointment, he would be on an equal footing with him, Yao Qian.

  Recalling half a month ago where he was still an envoy planning on fetching Ye Yuan into the sect. At that time, he even said that Ye Yuan might not even be able to maintain the position of core disciple.

  But after half a month, with a shake of his body, Ye Yuan actually became equal footing as him. There really was the feeling like he was being slapped in the face in public.

  Quickly reject! Quickly reject! Yao Qian kept on praying in his heart that Ye Yuan would also reject this elder position.

  "Since Grand Elder insists, then alright. I'll accept this nominal elder. However, I hope that the sect will not publicize my status and not give me any special treatment. Let me cultivate with an ordinary disciple identity."

  The reality was very cruel. Ye Yuan accepted this appointment in the end.

  Ye Yuan knew that there were many benefits to being an elder. It was only a nominal status anyway, why would he say no?

  Within the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the elders had many responsibilities and also had many privileges.

  Ye Yuan, as a nominal elder, did not need to carry out responsibilities. He, a Spirit Condensation Realm, could not carry them out even if he wanted to. However, he could enjoy the privileges.

  Only a fool would not do it!

  Ye Yuan also guessed some parts of Skymaple's thoughts. That was why he was insistent on not accepting the vice hall head position. Ye Yuan's time was very valuable. He did not wish to waste it on sect affairs.

  But as for this nominal elder, he had no emotional burdens.

  "Haha, it's good that you agreed. Otherwise, I really would not know how I should thank you. Qingfeng, later, you help Ye Yuan make an elder token. As to the disciples, don't publicize it." Skymaple also let out a sigh in relief seeing that Ye Yuan accepted.

  Luo Qingfeng replied with a yes; his eyes seemed complicated as he shot Ye Yuan a glance.

  To promote to become a sect elder at the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan was the first person to do so since the establishment of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

  Luo Qingfeng was also a smart man. He also guessed some parts of Skymaple's intentions, so he did not have any complaints towards this.

  To a declined sect, they madly yearned to be strong.

  Skymaple swept a glance over everyone. Seeing that many people's face had unconvinced looks, he sneered coldly in his heart.

  "After this seat enters closed-seclusion, Qingfeng will take the stage. You all do well to assist him! If there are any problems related to alchemy, you can communicate and exchange with Elder Ye Yuan. I believe that he won't let you down!" Skymaple said calmly.

  Ye Yuan sweated heavily when he heard that. But he could not explain things at such a time.

  This old fellow isn't drawing aggro to me, right?

  It was still fine for the Martial Hall elders, but the thick hostility from those Pill Hall elders was too distinct!

  Indeed, once Skymaple's words fell, Ye Yuan immediately felt a deep fighting intent.

  Every one of the elders was filled with righteous indignation. They dared to be angry but dared not voice out. If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have been killed multiple times over by now.

  Just a low-rank Alchemy Master, and the Grand Elder actually used him to compare to the elders. This was such a joke!

  Furthermore, although Grand Elder said 'exchange,' in truth, everybody heard that it was 'seek advice'!

  Even if Ye Yuan really completed the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula, it was definitely a blind cat catching a dead rat, he just coincidentally knew this pill formula; that was all.

  If one were to say that Ye Yuan's level was high, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death!

  Ye Yuan had an incredible master behind him, so it was also normal to know how to recite several higher level pill formulas. But he was only a teenager. How deep could his understanding towards alchemy be?

  . . . . . .

  In the Pill Hall's assembly hall, a bunch of elders surrounded Ouyang Yu. Some of their throats were already red from arguing.

  "Hall Head, I really can't take this lying down! Old me has immersed myself in the Alchemy Path for about 150 years. I dare not say that I'm well-versed in alchemy, but I can't be beaten by a teenage child, right?"

  "Exactly! I have no objections about Grand Elder insisting on letting Ye Yuan be a nominal elder. But to let us go and seek advice from him, isn't it too overboard?"

  "Grand Elder is clearly looking down on our Pill Hall! How can he do this?! He himself also walked out from the Pill Hall. How can he belittle our Pill Hall like this? Can it be that so many of us Quasi-Alchemy Kings here can't even fight him, a low-rank Alchemy Master?"

  "I want to challenge him!"

  "Right, I also want to challenge him! I want to see just whether or not Ye Yuan really has three heads and six arms!"

  "I'll go too!"

  . . . . . .

  Everyone was clamoring, giving Ouyang Yu a headache.

  However, these elders' words really hit the spot for him.

  Although Skymaple did not name him, he clearly included him inside too.

  Ouyang Yu was the Pill Hall's Hall Head and also the strongest alchemist in the Pill Hall; an existence that was only a step away from advancing into Alchemy King Realm.

  Of course, this step was a heavenly chasm to him.

  Such an existence still needed to accept guidance from Ye Yuan, a low-rank Alchemy Master?

  What a joke!

  Ouyang Yu swept a glance over these elders and said with a slight smile, "I didn't hear anything."

  Finishing, he turned around and left.

  The group of elders was stunned. Immediately after, they revealed an understanding smile.

  Chapter 248 - Denied Entry

  Shao Yun was the fifth seat among the Pill Hall elders. The previous year, he had just broken through to high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King Realm.

  As the Pill Hall's up and rising force in the prime of his life, his position in the Pill Hall was very high, and he was deemed to be one of the contenders to become the next Pill Hall's hall head.

  In comparison, although Yao Qian and his like were Pill Hall elders, they were the least important group of people, barely enough to do the role of running errands.

  Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the State of Qin to be an envoy.

  His age was old, his cultivation realm was low, and he already exhausted all of his potential and hard to have any breakthrough in this life.

  As the representative of the newly emerging force, Shao Yun was one of the most reluctant to accept Ye Yuan taking on the position of nominal elder.

  In front of Ouyang Yu, Shao Yun was one of those who argued the fiercest.

  Ouyang Yu left without saying anything. It was clear that he tacitly approved of them finding Ye Yuan to 'communicate and exchange.'

  The few elders who made the most noise put their heads together. Finally, Shao Yun offered to come forward and 'challenge' Ye Yuan!

  Shao Yun was one of the celebrity figures among the various Pill Hall elders. Once his
profile appeared in the Earth Barracks, immediately there were disciples who recognized him.

  "Disciple Li Ming has seen Elder Shao Yun," an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciples said respectfully.

  Shao Yun felt a little pleased with himself secretly, but he said authoritatively, "En, you came just in time. Ye Yuan is staying here, right?"

  Li Ming was confused. "Ye Yuan? This name is really unfamiliar. Is he a newcomer? En . . . There seemed to be a novice disciple a few days ago. He beat up Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng's younger brother right after coming."

  This time, it was Shao Yun's turn to be stupefied. "Fighting with others the moment he came? Indeed a troublemaker."

  Li Ming saw Shao Yun frown and instinctively thought that he came to find trouble with Ye Yuan. He hurriedly said, "Ye Yuan is staying at the No. 72 courtyard over there. I'll go call him over to pay respects to Elder Shao right away."

  The elder already came to find Ye Yuan personally. As a disciple, he naturally had to come out to receive him. Finishing, without even waiting for Shao Yun's approval, he jogged over to the No. 72 courtyard.

  Shao Yun originally wanted to stop Li Ming, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

  Although Ye Yuan's nominal elder status was already established, it was still tough for the elders' viewpoint to switch over in a short period.

  In Shao Yun's subconscious, he still felt that Ye Yuan should come out to meet him.

  . . . . . .

  Shao Yun called for Ye Yuan's courtyard gate to be opened. The one who opened it was Lu-er.

  "Miss, I'm finding Ye Yuan." Seeing that it was a beauty who opened the door, Li Ming was very courteous.

  Lu-er saw that this person was unfamiliar and instinctively wanted to turn him away. "Young Master is currently resting. I wonder what matter this senior apprentice brother have?"

  Li Ming obviously could tell that she was evading and could not help furrowing his brows as he said, "Resting huh? Then quickly go and wake Ye Yuan up. Just say that the Pill Hall's Fifth Seat Elder, Shao Yun, has arrived. Ask him to hurry and welcome him!"

  Li Ming feared that Lu-er did not know Shao Yun's weight and added a sentence. "Elder Shao Yun is a candidate for the next Pill Hall's Hall Head. His status is extraordinary. You can't slight him!"
