Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  "Yeah! Truly heaven is envious of gifted talents! A favored child of heaven like Young Patriarch actually died young!"

  The clansmen were all discussing fervently. But most people would rather think that their own thoughts were wrong and hope that Ye Yuan could really revive Li Yang.

  One can tell from their clamors of comments that Li Yang's relationship with people in the Cloud Prancing Tribe was really very good.

  It was just that looking at the vital energy in Li Yang's body, Ye Yuan was indeed still deceiving everyone!

  The elderly man that was bickering with Ye Yuan previously was precisely Master Dao Yuan. He also secretly broke into a sweat earlier. After all, Ye Yuan's 'acting' was too authentic. It even frightened a master like this.

  Now, seeing that it was a false alarm, Master Dao Yuan hated Ye Yuan even more.

  When the vice-patriarch saw the situation, he looked at Ye Yuan with an icy smile and said, "Boy, what do you still have to say now? Little Yang has already passed away, and you actually profaned his remains. Truly the most atrocious of crimes!"

  The patriarch's eyes looked straight at Ye Yuan, his entire body trembling. Anyone could tell his fury at this time.

  "Boy, you're courting death!" The patriarch gritted his teeth as he spat each word out slowly.

  He was already bristling with rage!

  His son died, and the corpse still had to be fiddled by Ye Yuan for so long. Whoever encountered this sort of matter would also go nuts!

  The patriarch walked towards Ye Yuan one step at a time. With each step he took, his aura would rise a level!

  Lan Feng's expression was also grim when he saw the situation. Facing a Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm with his strength was also the outcome of certain death.

  But even if he died, he could not allow Ye Yuan to suffer any harm at all!

  Rather, it was Ye Yuan who patted his hands with a very exhausted look. He was unperturbed by the patriarch's fury as if the target of the patriarch's wrath was not him.

  Seeing Ye Yuan's appearance, the patriarch was even more furious. His figure vanished suddenly. A palm with an irresistible force arrived in front of Ye Yuan.

  "Cough, cough . . ."

  Right at this moment, a bout of intense coughing sounded from inside the coffin. The patriarch shuddered and halted this palm!

  And right then, his palm was only a distance of three inches away from Ye Yuan!

  Ye Yuan remained calm without batting an eyelid and said coolly to the patriarch, "Li Yang is awake. Aren't you going to go say hi to him?"

  The patriarch was stupefied. Only now did he suddenly woke up to the reality of what had happened. He hurriedly sidestepped Ye Yuan and ran to Li Yang's side.

  With this look, the patriarch's tears involuntarily flowed down his old face. Li Yang, he . . . actually woke up!

  Li yang struggled a little to open both eyes. The scenery before him went from fuzzy to clear.

  "F-Father?" Li Yang called out feebly.

  "L-Little Yan . . . you really . . . you really woke up! Father . . . Father thought that I could never see you again!"

  At this moment, the patriarch felt that the entire world had returned!

  The feeling of losing a beloved child and finding him again was really stupendous!

  While on the other side, Li Hong's entire being was dead tired when he saw that Ye Yuan was fine.

  That instant when Patriarch's palm fell, he really even had the thought of dying. Li yang died because he did not arrive in time. Now, Ye Yuan also died because of him. Li Hong really felt like that there was no more need for him to live in this world!

  When Patriarch left to go over to his son, Li Hong hurriedly ran to Ye Yuan. "Young Master Ji, a-a-are . . . you okay?"

  Li Hong's nervousness still had yet to fade away until now. He was stammering as he spoke.

  Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "He didn't get to hit me either. I'm fine."

  Only after getting an affirmative answer from Ye Yuan did Li Hong really set his mind at east. "Then that's good! That's good! If any mishap were to happen to you, I really wouldn't know what to do. Ah, yes! What kind of magic did you cast, to actually revive Li Yan from the dead?!"

  Ye Yuan said huffily, "Revive my *ss! He wasn't dead from the start. I just helped him to open up his blocked meridians to let him take a breath!"

  "Di-Didn't die? How's that possible? Even Master Dao Yuan, Patriarch, and Vice-Patriarch, all confirmed that Li Yang already died. I also really couldn't sense his vital energy anymore. How was he possibly not dead?" Li Hong asked in confusion.

  Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "Even if I tell you, you won't understand either. Humans are born with qi. Looking at whether a person is dead or not, you can't just look at vital signs and his breathing. You still have to gaze at qi! Li Yang just died yesterday, and his qi was not cut off yet so it wasn't considered genuine death. Any later, then even I would be powerless."

  Li Hong had a mystified look. He completely could not understand what Ye Yuan was saying.

  He grew up so big and had never heard of what was called 'qi' before. He knew vital energy, but that was clearly an entirely different concept from the qi Ye Yuan said.

  It was also normal that Li Hong did not know. Because this talk of 'gazing at qi,' it was simply impossible for the Lower Realms to know!

  Only alchemists with extremely high accomplishments and also cultivated related divine soul mystic arts could see qi.

  To alchemists, death was not by looking at vital energy, breathing, heartbeat, these things, but to look at qi.

  When Ye Yuan came in, he saw that some faint qi still existed on Li Yang's body and knew that there was still hope of revival.

  And the finger technique that he just executed was called Tempered Profound Gold Finger; much higher end than that whatever Profound Phantom Finger that Wan Donghai displayed back then.

  Ye Yuan once used this set of finger technique to save innumerable people, and today, a Li Yang was added to it.

  This set of finger technique had a total of nine levels, corresponding respectively to the nine major realms. Ye Yuan was already Second Level Crystal Formation Realm currently. Displaying the third level of this finger technique was not overly strenuous.

  "Then . . . Li Yang will get well very soon, right?" Li Hong asked very ignorantly.

  Originally, he thought that he would get a definitive answer. Who knew that Ye Yuan would shake his head and say, "Well? Still early! I only helped him to tidy up his obstructed meridians. But that can only treat the symptoms, not the root. In a couple of days, he will still die!"

  "Ah! Then . . . Then what can we do?" Li Hong exclaimed.

  Ye Yuan said grumpily, "What can we do? Too bad! What has Li Yang's life and death got the hell to do with me?! I was just in a bad mood looking at those few old men, so I put them all in a bad mood too!"

  Coincidentally, the patriarch also heard Ye Yuan's words. He hurriedly supported Li Yang out of the coffin and arrived before Ye Yuan to give a deep bow, saying with an apologetic look, "Little Brother, this old man had a moment of rashness just now and almost hurt Little Brother. I really deserve death! This old man apologizes to Little Brother for this offense. I hope that Little Brother is magnanimous enough to forgive!"

  Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Was that you trying to hurt me? If your son didn't cough a couple of times, I would have already croaked on the spot and accompanied your son in death, right?"

  The patriarch's face went red. But he was someone who had experienced strong winds and big waves before. He hastily said, "It's all this old man's fault, it's all this old man's fault! Little Brother, on account of this old man being overly anxious about my beloved son, overlook this, alright?"

  Chapter 358 - Giving Advice

  Ye Yuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Not going to quibble with you."

  Without waiting for the patriarch to heave a sigh of relief, Ye Yuan said unhurriedly, "But . . ."<
br />
  Patriarch swallowed his saliva and carefully followed up, "But what, Little Brother?"

  Ye Yuan's eyes looked towards Master Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan with ill-intention and said with a grin, "But I want to nitpick with them!"

  When Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan heard Ye Yuan's words, their expressions changed!

  The patriarch hurriedly said, "Little Brother, just now, it's all us who have eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai! Why don't a great man like you not stoop to harbor grievance for past wrongs? Master Dao Yuan and Elder Zhu Shan also did it with Li Yang in mind; that's why they stopped you from touching him. How about this, whatever request you have, just state them, Little Brother. As long as our Cloud Prancing Tribe can take it out, we absolutely won't say no!"

  Ye Yuan's eyes glimmered for a while, then he flashed a brilliant smile at the two people and said, "Since the two elders did it for Li Yan, then me pursuing it appears somewhat petty. Alright then, I'll treat the incident earlier as if it never happened."

  Hearing that this Little Ancestor finally got over it, the patriarch also heaved a long sigh in relief. If Ye Yuan really quibbled over it, he also did not know what he should do.

  Ye Yuan's words earlier were still ringing in his ears. If he offended this Little Ancestor and he washed his hands of this matter, then this son of his would be lost again after getting him back.

  With such a torment, he probably would not have many good years left.

  "Alright then, since Little Yang is fine, everybody, disperse! Quickly take down these white silk and the mourning hall; inauspicious!" the patriarch commanded.

  . . . . . .

  In the bedchambers, Li Yang laid on the bed sickly, unable to even speak. Ye Yuan was currently reading his pulse.

  After a long time, Ye Yuan removed his hand and stood up. Patriarch Li Teng hastily chased after and enquired cautiously, "Young Master Ji, Little Yang, he . . . What illness did he has?"

  "Not sick!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Li Teng said with a bitter face, "Young Master Ji, earlier was indeed this old man's fault . . ."

  Ye Yuan extended his hand and interrupted his words, saying, "Li Yang is really not sick. He was poisoned!"

  "P-Poisoned?"

  Astonishment was written all over Li Teng's face. Li Yang's condition looked like he was sick from every angle. How could it be poison?

  "Don't believe?"

  "W-Where did that come from? Young Master Ji's words, this old man naturally believes it!"

  "But disbelief is written all over your face."

  ". . . . . ."

  Ye Yuan said, "The poison he's inflicted with is called Mind Loss Powder. It's colorless and tasteless. Even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles can't detect it. Spirit artifact rank Profound Silver Needles . . . I reckon that you guys don't have it, right?"

  "This . . ." Li Teng s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath when he heard it. A poison that even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles could not detect. That was exceptionally powerful.

  "Actually, when I bumped into Li Hong and the rest and heard them talk about Li Yang's symptoms, I had some guesses. But diagnosing him earlier confirmed my conjectures. Mind Loss Powder doesn't have any obvious symptoms after being inflicted by it. It's just that one's actions would become rather peculiar. And the flare-up duration is also roughly around a month. It's an extremely powerful poison," Ye Yuan said.

  "Then . . . does this Mind Loss Powder have a cure?" Li Teng asked tremblingly.

  "There naturally is. It's just that . . . I don't seem to have a need to give it to you, right?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

  Li Teng was stunned when he heard this. But he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

  He could also tell that Ye Yuan was indeed someone with abilities. It was just that the way he behaved was too arrogant.

  Even if he had offended Ye Yuan previously, he was, at any rate, a Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm existence. This brat actually did not give any face at all.

  To Li Teng who held a high position, he could not accept this sort of humiliation.

  If it were not for Li Yang, he would most likely have fallen out long ago.

  Who would have expected that Ye Yuan seemed to have long seen through his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and said with a smile, "Whatever you're upset by, say it out. Don't keep it in your heart. Later, the elderly one falls ill before the young one recovers. Those people would be overflowing with joy in their hearts."

  Li Hong was at the side the whole time and did not dare to make a sound. Hearing Ye Yuan's words at this time, he finally could not resist urging, "Young Master Ji, you should say a little lesser."

  Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to speak! You blockhead, playing what expressing your will through death! Do you know that if you had died, you'd have played right into other people's hands? If you died, not only would there be nobody who pities you, others would even stomp a few times on top of your corpse and spit twice!"

  Li Hong was a steadfast person and would not say anything to Ye Yuan's words. But Li Teng completely erupted at this time!

  "You, this Junior, really don't know what's good for you! Do you really think that without you, the earth won't rotate anymore? I'm grateful to you for saving Little Yang, but aren't you going a little too overboard by acting so tyrannically?" Li Teng said furiously.

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Old man, good advice is an unpleasant medicine! If not on account of Li Hong's face, I wouldn't even be bothered to care about these lousy matters in your tribe! Wait until you, father and son, get harmed and killed by others, you can then go to the underworld to reunite!"

  Li Teng snorted coldly and said, "Exaggerating things to scare people!"

  But Li Hong finally understood a little and quickly asked, "Young Master Ji, your meaning is . . ."

  Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Don't you feel that the entire incident is very fishy?"

  "Ah? Not at all! Our tribe has always been harmonious. Patriarch and Vice-Patriarch, the two of them have several hundred years of friendship. Us junior generation also have a very good relationship! Young Master Ji, aren't you . . . overthinking things?" Li Hong asked warily.

  Ye Yuan had an exasperated look like he failed to live up to expectations and said, "You being loyal to people is being loyal, but you're too dumb! Think it over properly, why did your young patriarch get poisoned out of the blue? Why were you sent to the most dangerous place to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng? And does your family's patriarch look much older than before you set off? Additionally, who was the one holding the authority over the tribe these few days? Start using your brain and think properly! Perhaps your family's patriarch was close comrade-in-arms with the vice-patriarch formerly. But now . . . hehe."

  When Ye Yuan's words were said finish, Li Teng and Li Hong ruminated over it.

  Li Hong said weakly, "You mean to say that Elder Dao Yuan deliberately made me unable to rush back in time?"

  Ye Yuan snickered and said, "At least you're not too stupid!"

  "But . . . we calculated the travel route prior to this. How did he know that I won't make it back in time?" Li Hong said perplexedly.

  "That's too easy! The Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng is a prerequisite item for the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's advancement. He just has to know beforehand that there is a Crimson Tailed Scorpion over there about to advance, then send you guys over. Can you all still make it back?" Ye Yuan said.

  Li Hong s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath. But he still felt that this was too unbelievable. "But the Cloud Prancing Tribe is flourishing with each passing day right now. If the young patriarch can advance to the Soul Sea Realm, we would become even more overpowering. Why did they do this?"

  "Because that way, they would have even less of a chance!"

  The one who spoke was not Ye Yuan, but it was Li Teng who had been keeping silent the entire time.

  Chapter 359 - Paying Back in His Own Coin

 
; Within Zhu Yun Manor's hidden room, Vice-Patriarch Zhu Yun's eyebrows were locked tightly, appearing very somber.

  "Oh, Dao Yuan, where did this boy come from? How can he have such capabilities? That Li Yang was clearly already dead. How can he possibly have resurrected?" Zhu Yun opened his mouth to ask.

  Master Dao Yuan similarly had knitted brows and was very gloomy. "That boy's finger technique is unbelievably profound. It's indeed rather odd! But . . . he only opened up the obstructed meridians in Li Yang's body and let him revive for the time being. My Mind Loss Powder is incurable. Li Yang can last for at most another two days. He still has to die!"

  Zhu Yun's eyebrows raised up. "Dao Yuan, is what you said true?"

  "Of course it's true! Mind Loss Powder is colorless and tasteless, a type of poison that paralyzes a martial artist's nerves. It's simply incurable! I made Li Hong and the others go seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng just to find a scapegoat to help you all clear away some obstacles! In fact, what antidote is there?" Dao Yuan said, brimming with confidence.

  "Then that's good, that's good! As long as Li Yang dies, the title of number one genius in the tribe will fall on Little Tian's head. The next patriarch will incontestably be him!" Zhu Yun let out a sigh in relief.

  Zhu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that damn punk. Otherwise, our plan would have already succeeded. Now, many unexpected complications cropped up! After Li Yang dies, I must think of a way to kill him!"

  Dao Yuan immediately concurred, saying, "That's right! That boy is sinister as hell. He mustn't be kept! We have to think of a way to kill him!"

  Being threatened by a junior, Zhu Shan and Dao Yuan were both filled with pent-up anger. Furthermore, their plan was originally flawless but was ruined by Ye Yuan. How could this not infuriate them?

  Zhu Yun clearly did not have much of a favorable impression of Ye Yuan too. He said indifferently, "Relax. As long as Li Yang dies, Li Teng would completely not be in the mood to bother with tribe matters. At that time, wanting to deal with a brat, wouldn't it be effortless?"

  Bang! Bang! Bang!
