Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  Manager Tong hurriedly said, "That's naturally not permitted! This Grand Pill Assembly is competing in the composite strength of the two family's juniors. How can they possibly allow one person to fight three matches?"

  "Like that huh? Then that's too bad! Guess they got lucky!" Ye Yuan said with a face full of regret.

  Talking about alchemy, Ye Yuan was naturally excited. Forget about three matches, he would not mind even 30 matches.

  Chapter 370 - Xiao Changfeng

  "Ah! Where did this little white tiger come from? How adorable! Come, let Big Sister hug!"

  "Hehe, look, he got angry. Even his angry appearance is so cute!"

  "Hehe, this Sir, is this your little white tiger? Can you lend me to play for two days?"

  From yesterday onwards, White Light became a beautiful scenic spot in the Xiao Manor. No matter where Ye Yuan went, he would become the focal point of everyone.

  Especially these young ladies and maidservants, when they saw White Light, each and every one of them would be rooted to the ground and be unable to resist coming forward to tease him.

  But White Light did not like other people's affection. Each time other people came over, he would put on a posture that kept people a thousand miles away and bared his fangs at them.

  However, the more he did so, the more lovable these young ladies and maidservants found him.

  Ye Yuan was obviously not wandering around with nothing to do. He wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the matter regarding the slaves. But he could not be so obvious with this kind of thing either. To prevent drawing suspicion, White Light naturally became the best cover-up.

  With White Light as a front, Ye Yuan could openly find these maidservants and young ladies to chat. In the long run, he really found out quite a bit of news.

  By approaching the subject in a roundabout manner, Ye Yuan still confirmed in the end that the Xiao Family really purchased two Endless World slaves recently!

  Speaking of it, those two slaves were not bought by the Xiao Family, but the Huang and Xue Family gifted one each.

  Evidently, these two families gifting slaves was in order to curry favor with Xiao Ruyan.

  As a second-rate family, the Xiao Family did not have the qualifications to buy such rare slaves yet.

  Ye Yuan still wanted to inquire about the looks of those two slaves. But regretfully, those two were sent to Xiao Ruyan's manor directly. Other people totally did not get a chance to see.

  And the residences of women were all a part of the inner courtyards. There were experts guarding all around. With Ye Yuan's present strength, wanting to intrude inside silently was not very probable.

  Seemed like to approach those two Endless World people, it ultimately still fell on Xiao Ruyan.

  With Ye Yuan's present condition, he could only come into contact with these two people. The others should have been bought over by powerful factions. Wishing to figure it out in a short period of time was something not very easy.

  But Ye Yuan was not in a rush either. Ever since he knew that Mei Zhen and the rest were peddled to the Central Capital, Ye Yuan made the preparations for a long period of struggle.

  "Aiya, Ji Qing, I finally found you! I've been following behind you and asking around for quite some time!" Ye Yuan was currently ruminating when Manager Tong yelled out at the top of his voice.

  The Xiao Manor's area was immensely vast. Wanting to find a person really needed to expend some effort.

  "En? Manager Tong is finding me for something? I figured out that I'll have to live in Xiao Manor in the future, so I obviously have to familiarize myself. That's why I'm looking around," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  Manager Tong had an indignant look as he said, "I say, Little Brother Ji, there are only two days to the Grand Pill Assembly. You have to do some preparations, right? Wandering leisurely around like this . . . probably isn't good, yeah?"

  Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes when he heard this. "Isn't it just a Grand Pill Assembly? What's there to prepare? Isn't the Tong Family just sending a couple of juniors up? It's not like we're competing against their family's old freaks."

  Seeing Ye Yuan pay no attention to it, Manager Tong was furious. "I say, Ji Qing, you're our Xiao Family's guest retainer now, and drawing our Xiao Family's salary! The Grand Pill Assembly concerns the Xiao Family's survival. You have to at least put in some effort, right? Although the Tong Family is sending their juniors, their strength is very formidable!"

  "How formidable?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

  Speaking of which, Ye Yuan was really completely clueless about that so-called Tong Family.

  "Tong Family . . . Sigh, forget it, forget it. Come with me, there's somebody who wishes to see you! After you see him, you'll naturally know."

  . . . . . .

  Ye Yuan followed Manager Tong to a quiet and secluded courtyard and entered a room.

  "It's Tong Suan, right? Did you bring Ji Qing here?" A deep voice came from inside the house.

  "Yes. He's right outside," Manager Tong said respectfully.

  "You withdraw first. Let him enter." The voice inside the house sounded again.

  "Yes!"

  Finished talking, Manager Tong turned around and said to Ye Yuan, "You enter alone. Remember, don't be impudent."

  "Oh," Ye Yuan replied very carelessly.

  Manager Tong was depressed but did not say anything. He still withdrew.

  Ye Yuan entered the house, but it was a pill refinement room. A middle-aged man was currently meditating on the bed in the center of the refining room.

  Ye Yuan was just about to go forward to greet, only to see a majestic soul force attack him in a manner that blotted out heaven and earth.

  Ye Yuan's eyes flickered but did not evade, allowing the other party to do as he pleased.

  The middle-aged man's divine soul looked to have very strong offensive power, but when it landed on Ye Yuan's body, it was incomparably gentle.

  The light soul force enveloped Ye Yuan as if it was seeking out something.

  After several breaths, the other party's soul force retreated like tidewater.

  "Young man, you're very poised! When my soul force attacked you, you were actually completely unruffled!" The middle-aged man's deep voice sounded.

  It was just that although his voice was calm, it carried some astonishment. Clearly, Ye Yuan's performance just now greatly exceeded his expectations.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Can't dodge it. Why take a superfluous action? Ever since I entered this house, if Senior wanted to kill me, I can only be at your mercy."

  The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "Indeed, heroes come from the youngsters! Listening to the meaning in your words, if it were outside, you have the ability to escape?"

  Ye Yuan sad neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Might not be without assurance!"

  Evidently, the other party was a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!

  The possibility of trying to escape from the other party's hands was trifling. But in Ye Yuan's dictionary, there wasn't the word impossible.

  If he made proper use of the environmental and human conditions, he might not have zero chance of escaping.

  Recalling back then, he was only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, didn't he still kill the Sea Transformation Realm Black Crow Old Man?

  Of course, the difference between Soul Sea Realm and Crystal Formation Realm was an entirely different concept from the disparity between Sea Transformation Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm.

  Hence, Ye Yuan just 'humbly' said that he might not be without assurance.

  There was a heaven and earth difference between the lower three realms and middle three realms for martial artists. No matter how strong a Sea Transformation Realm was, they were only a lower three realm martial artist; completely incomparable from the middle three realm Soul Sea Realm.

  "Heh heh, Tong Suan said that you're capable but doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Indeed not false. B
ut . . . you really escaped a calamity just now," the middle-aged man said with a laugh.

  Ye Yuan knew in his heart, but intentionally asked in confusion, "Oh? What do Senior's words mean?"

  "News came from the realm passageway that an Endless World youth might have already silently infiltrated the capital. I was testing your divine soul just now. If your divine soul was different from us Fierce Gale World martial artists, I would have killed you without hesitation earlier!" said the middle-aged man indifferently.

  Ye Yuan was taken aback at the right level, asking in surprise, "There's actually such a thing? Senior actually suspects that I'm a person from another world?"

  "Hur hur, just that your age matches the information report. Your appearance in the capital is also very sudden. I only tested you out of cautiousness. Oh, right, I'm called Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Family's Family Head."

  Chapter 371 - Interacting a Little Is Good Too

  Towards the middle-aged man's identity, Ye Yuan had already deduced it. Hence, there was not really anything surprising.

  In truth, when Xiao Changfeng's soul force pounced towards Ye Yuan earlier, Ye Yuan's first reaction was to retaliate.

  But he reacted very quickly. Xiao Changfeng most likely held suspicions towards his identity. Therefore, he might as well release his divine soul and let Xiao Changfeng examine freely.

  Ye Yuan did not have much attainments in disguising skills. But in the camouflaging of the divine soul, who in the Lower Realms could match him?

  Although they were all humans, on different planes, human souls still had some slight differences.

  This point, Xiao Changfeng knew. As an Alchemy Emperor, how could Ye Yuan be ignorant?

  Hence, ever since eliminating Lan Bao, Ye Yuan already camouflaged his own divine soul into the appearance of a Fierce Gale World's martial artist through divine soul mystic arts.

  With Lan Feng's divine soul as a reference, Ye Yuan's camouflage was naturally flawless.

  Forget about Xiao Changfeng who only had Alchemy King level soul force, even if an Alchemy Sovereign was present, he would also have no way of seeing through Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan's research in the divine soul surpassed the lower planes.

  Rather, if Xiao Changfeng really made a move against Ye Yuan, while Ye Yuan was far less powerful than his soul force, he could forget about gaining any advantage.

  Even if he really killed Ye Yuan, he himself would surely lose half his life as well.

  Ye Yuan did not make a fuss over it. If he was too fake, it would be easy to leave flaws instead.

  Though the Xiao Family was declining with day after day, to be able to become the head of a family, how many would be fools?

  Therefore, when Ye Yuan heard that Xiao Changfeng was the Xiao Family's Family Head, not only was he not surprised, he had a furious look as he said, "Harrumph! Since Family Head doesn't trust me, what did you make me a guest retainer for? I'll resign from this guest retainer at once and leave the Xiao Family!"

  Finished talking, Ye Yuan really flapped his sleeves and left.

  Xiao Changfeng did not think that Ye Yuan was actually so staunch and knew that he went overboard. He hastily called out, "Wait a minute, Little Brother Ji!"

  But Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back as he said, "Other people give me an inch, I'll return them tenfold! If people don't trust me, why is there a need for me to snub despite showing good intentions? Farewell, Family Head Xiao!"

  Xiao Changfeng was so miserable that he nearly coughed blood. But he had no choice but to chase after.

  Xiao Rufeng was still bedbound, and they finally found a replacement with much difficulty. If this Ye Yuan ran, then how the hell were they going to fight in this Grand Pill Assembly?!

  A gust of wind blew past. Xiao Changfeng blocked in front of Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "What? Can it be that Family Head Xiao wants to use force?"

  Xiao Changfeng had never been forced to submit to a junior before. His old face was almost all lost.

  However, at this present moment, he had no choice but to control his temper and persuade Ye Yuan.

  That probing earlier already completely enraged Ye Yuan. Anymore and Ye Yuan would not help the Xiao Family fight even if he had to commit suicide.

  Xiao Changfeng already knew that Ye Yuan's personality was very firm and persistent. How could he still dare to use force? He could only smile flatteringly and said, "Little Brother Ji is mistaken. I . . . I apologize to you for the matter earlier! I believe that Little Brother Ji has also heard that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is already preparing to invade the Endless World on a large-scale. We have no option but to be more cautious."

  But Ye Yuan did not buy it. "Then may I know if Family Head Xiao has probed out anything?"

  Xiao Changfeng had an embarrassed look as he said, "Little Brother Ji is a true-blue Fierce Gale World native for sure. You naturally can't be a spy."

  "Humph! I can understand family head's thoughts, but even if you want to feel me out, you can also let me know beforehand. Probing me without rhyme or reason like this is an unprecedented shame for me!" Ye Yuan said icily.

  "This Family Head was indeed overly impetuous with this matter. I hope that Little Brother Ji is magnanimous enough to forgive," said Xiao Changfeng, controlling his temper and apologized.

  Going over the limit was as bad as falling short. Ye Yuan obviously would not go overboard in kneading him. He waved his hands at once and said, "Forget it, forget it. You're a senior no matter what. I'll drop this matter at that. I wonder what Family Head is looking for me for?"

  As the saying went, only capable people dared to be arrogant.

  Ye Yuan was so.

  Ye Yuan was like a savior to the present Xiao Family. Even if Xiao Changfeng was any angrier, he also had to swallow it back into his stomach.

  While he was a Xiao Family guest retainer, it did not mean that anyone could command him as they pleased. If he did not teach Xiao Changfeng a lesson, he would definitely become smug from success in the future and go overboard.

  The two people sat down once more as guest and host before Xiao Changfeng opened his mouth to ask, "Little Brother Ji, do you know why Rufeng he failed his assault of the Soul Sea Realm?"

  Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Could it be due to overly anxious for success?"

  Assaulting a major realm was not something fun. Not everyone would be as smooth sailing as Ye Yuan as well.

  To the vast majority of martial artists, assaulting each major realm was a major threshold in their lives.

  Very clearly, Xiao Rufeng did not cross it.

  Xiao Changfeng revealed a slightly surprised look and nodded, saying, "He wanted to win this Grand Pill Assembly too badly. That's why he forcefully broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, wanting to reach Quasi-Alchemy King Realm. But sadly, he failed on the verge of success."

  "Oh? Can it be that there's actually a Quasi-Alchemy King among the Tong Family's juniors?" Ye Yuan was rather surprised.

  Quasi-Alchemy King was nothing much to him. But in a place like the Fierce Gale World, to be able to become a Quasi-Alchemy King at a young age, his talent could be deduced from that much.

  Xiao Changfeng suddenly felt like he was like a clown. He beat around the bush, wanting Ye Yuan to ask why.

  But Ye Yuan's reaction was too quick. He just slightly hinted a bit and Ye Yuan guessed the truth of the matter.

  This boy was too clever! What a freak!

  "That's right. Actually, I came to find you to give you a reminder not to underestimate your opponent! The Alchemy Path strength of the Tong Family's junior generation is very strong!" Xiao Changfeng said with a grave face.

  Evidently, Ye Yuan's haughty performance made Tong Suyan unable to rest easy. And after he reported it to Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Changfeng felt worried too.

  This Grand Pill Assembly completely did not matter to Ye Yuan. But to the Xiao Family, it was a major pinnacle event that determined the family's de
stiny. It was even more important than the Fierce Gale World invading the Endless World!

  Ye Yuan's expression involuntarily became odd. He would never take the enemy lightly. But in terms of Alchemy Path, there was really no opponent worthy of him attaching importance to in the Lower Realms.

  Especially the so-called junior generation.

  "So, Family Head came to find me for this matter huh. Isn't it making a great fuss over nothing? There are still two days to the Grand Pill Assembly. No matter how seriously I take things now, it also makes no difference to the matter," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

  "You can't say that. There are many things that you can do. How about this, making use of these two days, I'll make Ruyan interact more with you to learn from each other's strong points while making up your weak points. I know that your strength is very powerful, but the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is just an entry level medicinal pill in the Grand Pill Assembly. To want to obtain victory, one must refine medicinal pills with even great difficulty!" Xiao Changfeng exhorted.

  Hearing Xiao Changfeng's words, Ye Yuan's expression was normal, but he was overjoyed in his heart.

  He was just fretting about being unable to find a chance to get close to Xiao Ruyan, but Xiao Changfeng delivered it to his doorstep himself.

  Ye Yuan nodded immediately and said, "Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is only an entry level medicinal pill huh. Then it seems like the challenge level is a little high. Mm, exchanging pointers with Miss Ruyan for a while is also good, in case I find myself at a loss when the time comes."

  Chapter 372 - Will It Be a Little Better?

  Second level, Four Seas Building.

  Xiao Ruyan lightly bit her lip; the tips of her hair carrying sweat beads about to drip at any moment as she had a very strained look.

  With a puff, a cloud of green smoke appeared in the medicinal cauldron. Evidently, a furnace of useless pills was refined.

  "Why? Where is the problem?!"
