Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  Looking from the reward money, the difficulty of question No.125 clearly went up another level!

  The reward monies previously all increased by a thousand or five hundred. But this time, it swelled by 5 thousand high-grade essence crystals in one shot!

  But, this did not seem to be any different to Ye Yuan from before. He practically used the same amount of time to answer it.

  Instead, it was Zhu Jiang the four of them who spent increasingly longer time to assess it.

  Ye Yuan obviously would not stop. He chose to continue challenging No.124!

  A period of time later, Zhu Jiang's voice sounded once more, "Question No.124, correct! Reward money, 21 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"

  "Question No.123, correct! Reward money, 22 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"

  . . . . . .

  Question No.116, correct! Reward money, 33 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"

  Every period of time, Zhu Jiang's voice was like a heavy hammer, pounding everyone's c.h.e.s.t, and making them practically feel asphyxiated.

  This Thousand Query Wall's seventh level, each time a question was answered, it would cause a stir in the entire city.

  The alchemists present were all extremely excited in the beginning. But by this time, they felt a chill deep down in their hearts.

  Question No.116 had already been placed there for close to a hundred years. Nobody answered it all this while.

  This question's degree of difficulty was already not on the same level as Dan Chenzi's problem.

  But Ye Yuan took his time to answer it from start to end, as if all of the questions were at the tip of his fingers.

  This youth . . . was too scary!

  After these ten questions, Ye Yuan's reward money already acc.u.mulated to a terrifying sum of 260 thousand high-grade essence crystals!

  Under normal circ.u.mstances, alchemists were all comparatively wealthy. But an Alchemy King's total net worth was at most just several tens of thousands of high-grade essence crystals too.

  The prize money that Ye Yuan won right now was already ten times of an ordinary Alchemy King!

  Furthermore . . . Ye Yuan was still continuing answering!

  Cao Fang's expression was already black like the bottom of a pot. He truly found it hard to dismount the tiger now.

  Previously, Ye Yuan said to use the monetary reward to exchange for Skymaple, and he was unwilling to. Now, in front of so many people's faces, did he have to beg Ye Yuan to take Skymaple?

  This slap of his slapping down, how would he have a foothold in Wu Fang City in the future?

  But if he did not release Skymaple, Ye Yuan would really bankrupt the Cao Family!

  400 thousand high-grade essence crystals was merely a hair from nine oxen to the entire Cao Family. But the problem was that the monetary reward at the back was increasingly terrifying. Continuing like this, the Cao Family really would not have available essence crystals to pay it off.

  Moreover, if Ye Yuan really kept winning all the way, it would be a tremendous blow to the Thousand Query Wall's fame and prestige.

  This was an outcome that the Cao Family could not bear!

  If Old Patriarch knew what happened here, he would surely fly into a great rage!

  What to do right now?

  Right at this time, a hoarse and aged voice reverberated throughout the entire main hall.

  "Apologies. The Thousand Query Wall is temporarily closed today. Fellow men of the same line present, each person can draw ten pieces of high-grade essence crystals from the Exquisite Jade Pavilion's front door to show my Cao Family's apologies."

  A figure suddenly appeared beside Cao Fang. When those alchemists saw that figure, their pupils involuntarily constricted.

  This person was none other than precisely the Cao Family's old patriarch, a middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign, Cao Zheng!

  "Grandfather!" When Cao Fang saw the arrival, he could not help being overjoyed.

  Cao Zheng showing up, those alchemists knew that this show today could not carry on anymore.

  These alchemists were just about to bow-out when Ye Yuan said leisurely, "I heard that the Cao Family keeps a foothold on this earth with the word impartial. But why are you carrying out this bias matter today?"

  Cao Zheng did not think that Ye Yuan would dare to be so unbridled in front of him too. His expression could not help darkening as he said, "The Exquisite Jade Pavilion is only closing for a day. How is it something bias?"

  When those alchemists sensed the thick smell of gunpowder, they could not help stopping.

  Ye Yuan looked at Cao Zheng and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily, "Although the Thousand Query Wall originated from the Cao Family, through thousands of years of development, it has already become the Wu Fang City and even the Endless World's symbol. Hence, even though this Thousand Query Wall is still maintained by the Cao Family, it's no longer owned by the Cao Family. Every alchemist has the right to raise and answer questions here! Presumably, there has never been such an act of closing shop since the Thousand Query Wall was established until today, right? Could it be just because this junior answered a few seventh level's questions, senior is going to close shop? Isn't an action such as this, depriving all the alchemists in the world of their right to a pilgrimage? Isn't it something bias?"

  Hearing Ye Yuan's words, all the alchemists secretly cheered in their hearts.

  They were different from the Cao Family. They naturally wished to see these seventh level's questions be breached one by one.

  Such a grand occasion was hard to encounter even once in a thousand years. How could they miss it?

  Although they all knew that this was the Cao Family wanting to ensure the Thousand Query Wall's prestige and stature, this indeed damaged everybody's interests.

  Cao Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. A faintly discernible killing intent gradually washed over towards Ye Yuan.

  "This Ren will be a peacemaker today. Everybody all disperse!" Right then, another voice sounded out.

  An elderly man appeared in the crowd. Everyone's faces changed.

  Cao Zheng looked at the arrival rather surprisedly, and he gave a slight bow, saying, "To think that today's matter actually alarmed City Lord. It's this Cao's fault."

  But Ren Xingchun did not bother with Cao Zheng and yelled, "Since Lord Chairman came as well, why not show yourself?"

  All the alchemists were shocked inwardly. This line-up today really became progressively greater.

  Chapter 513 - Just Want an Apology!

  "Hur hur, to think that City Lord actually came here personally."

  A figure floated down and landed. Who could it be but Dan Chenzi?

  Ren Xingchun did not follow up, but he said in a solemn voice, "You guys aren't withdrawing yet. Could it be that you want me to make a move personally?"

  Those alchemists were startled when they heard that and hastily withdrew from the main hall.

  The irrelevant people all left. The atmosphere here became rather odd.

  Ren Xingchun, Dan Chenzi, Cao Zhen, Zhu Jiang, and the rest, their gazes all gathered on Ye Yuan as if trying to see through Ye Yuan.

  Facing the gazes from a group of leviathans, Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit fearful and said indifferently, "Is it possible that Seniors want to join hands to bully a junior like me?"

  The expression on everyone's faces became strange. Junior was it . . .

  To be able to answer 20 questions from the seventh level so effortlessly, could such an individual really be considered a junior?

  "Huhu, where did that come from? Little Brother Ye, I received Wu Xuan's summons and specially came here to express thanks to you. This Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill, I've researched it for several decades but keep on being unable to find the breakthrough point. Didn't think that I would actually get the solution from your hands today," Dan Chenzi said with a gentle smile.

  "Lord Chairman don't need to be polite. You raised the question, I receiv
ed the reward. We're both even. No need to say the word thanks," Ye Yuan said coolly.

  When these words came out, everyone drew a cold breath.

  Daring to speak like this to Dan Chenzi, apart from Ren Xingchun, there was probably only this one before their eyes, right?

  But Ye Yuan did not care. His gaze looked towards Ren Xingchun heatedly, but his tone became cold, "City Lord invited me to come to Wu Fang City, but couldn't even protect my sect's elder properly. Now that I came to ask for people, City Lord came to cause trouble. Is this your Wu Fang City's hospitality?"

  But Ren Xingchun was not a good-natured one. Hearing Ye Yuan said so, he immediately became enraged, "You, this punk, are exceedingly rude! The Thousand Query Wall is my Wu Fang City's totem-like existence. Your way of doing things is a little too over the top!"

  "Heh, over the top is it? I gave him a chance. It's he who didn't want it! Since that's the case, he will have to pay a corresponding price for this! I, Ye Yuan, don't stir up trouble for nothing, but I'm not afraid of trouble either!" Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.

  When the other early-rank Alchemy Sovereigns and middle-rank Alchemy Sovereigns heard Ye Yuan's tone of speaking, they all secretly broke into a sweat.

  Dan Chenzi and Ren Xingchun were both the Endless World's peak existences. Ye Yuan offending all of them, how coarse a nerve did this need?!

  "What a fine not afraid of trouble! Your Tranquil Cloud Sect f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y occupied my Wu Fang City's territory. I didn't even find you to settle the score and you come to be unbridled with me instead!" Ren Xingchun's fury became greater and greater. As he spoke, it deviated off topic already.

  Wu Xuan saw the situation and felt anything but reassuring, so he hurriedly urged, "City Lord, this matter is still within the scope of control. The both of you each take a step back!"

  "Humph! This punk is conceited and insolent on account of his ability! Even making light of this old man! Seriously too arrogant! I treat him as an honored guest, and he's actually so overbearing! Truly a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

  Ye Yuan said coolly, "Heavenly Evil Sect committed evil deeds everywhere, but your Wu Fang City turned a blind eye to it. That's helping the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds! I helped you guys eliminate the evil and were in the wrong instead? People who train in alchemy should have benevolent thoughts. This Wu Fang City is hailed as the alchemy holy city. Hehe, isn't it overshooting the truth?!"

  Cao Zheng was stupefied listening by the side. Their Cao Family did not say a word, but City Lord and this brat started seizing each other by the throat. What was going on here?

  Everyone was rather bewildered too, not knowing why these two people were so hot-tempered.

  Finally, it was still Dan Chenzi who came forward to be a peacemaker, "Gentlemen, calm your anger first. Actually, the 20 problems that Little Brother Ye resolved has immense contributions to my Wu Fang City's Alchemy Path's prosperity. It's just that the sense of propriety was not grasped well. Little Brother Ye, facing a great enemy at the moment, isn't us having internal strifes aggrieving our own and gladdening the enemy? In my opinion, the Cao Family let that Tranquil Cloud Sect elder go, and consider this matter passed too."

  "Heh, how can it be so easy? The Cao Family must apologize to Grand Elder Skymaple!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.

  "No way! He can be released. But an apology is impossible!" Cao Zheng refused straight away.

  What a joke. How could a colossal family clan like the Cao Family apologize to a third-grade tiny sect's elder?

  "Hehe, not apologizing works too. I don't need you to release the person. You all can close shop today, could it be that it will be closed every day in the future? From today onwards, I'll come here to solve questions every day, all the way until all of the questions on the seventh level are all solved finish!" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.

  "Shameless boasting! Do you really think that by answering 20 questions, you will be able to answer all of the questions? Questions ranked further to the front, the greater the degree of difficulty! Conundrums that nobody could resolve in several thousand years can be resolved with just the likes of you?" Cao Fang said disdainfully when he heard that.

  "You can very well give it a try!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

  This sentence directly aggravate internal injuries in Cao Fang.

  He questioned Ye Yuan previously. The result was that Ye Yuan directly answered all of the final 20 questions.

  Now, Ye Yuan was still brimming with confidence. Was it possible that he really had such capabilities?

  Impossible!

  Question No.1 was simply heaven-defying to the max. Even Lord Chairman and City Lord were at a complete loss when they looked at it, let alone Ye Yuan.

  Dan Chenzi and the rest naturally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer all of the questions as well. But, being deadlocked here right now wasn't a solution either!

  "Little Brother Ye, everybody each takes a step back. The Cao Family releases the person, and compensate your household's elder 100 thousand high-grade essence crystals. This got to be ok, right?" Dan Chenzi said.

  But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I only want an apology! Essence crystals, as long as I want, I can have countless!"

  Everyone was directly speechless. This Ye Yuan was simply impervious to neither hard nor soft tactics!

  "That Skymaple answered the question wrongly and even slandered my Cao Family's reputation. I didn't kill him directly is already showing leniency! You actually still want us to apologize?" Cao Fang challenged.

  Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said, "Is that so? Then how about we invite grand elder out to confront in court? If Elder Skymaple answered wrongly, I, Ye Yuan, will return this 400 thousand essence crystals intact, and apologize to your Cao Family! But, if Elder Skymaple's answer was correct, what then?"

  With this, Cao Fang was thrown into a fl.u.s.ter.

  He never would have imagined that the matter would develop to such a state. Now, it could not be controlled any longer.

  Right then, Zhu Jiang suddenly sighed with melancholy and said, "Sigh, Brother Cao Zheng, this matter is the fault of the three of us. To think that it would stir up such a mighty uproar. This Thousand Query Wall's consultation team elder, I, Zhu Jiang, have no face to carry on holding the post. Brother Cao better finds somebody more competent."

  With Zhu Jiang saying this, Liu Yun and the other person also requested to resign from Cao Zheng.

  The news that Cao Zheng got was that somebody was causing trouble in Exquisite Jade Pavilion. But he was not clear about the whole story of the incident.

  Hearing Zhu Jiang's words at this time, how could he still not understand what was going on?

  Only to see him casually fling a hand, landing a slap on Cao Fang's face as he said coldly, "You wicked son! Turns out that everything was stirred up by you! You actually used the Cao Family's reputation to do this kind of low-grade thing! I'll exterminate you!"

  Chapter 514 - Storming out of the Room

  Cao Fang was sent flying out directly. By the time he crawled up, half of his face was swollen like a pig's head.

  Ye Yuan looked at this scene with a cold smile and was very disdainful in his heart.

  That slap looked very impressive. Actually, it did not employ essence energy at all. Cao Zheng merely used the strength of the physical body.

  Hence, Cao Fang's face looked scary, but it was just receiving some superficial wounds.

  Of course, not only Ye Yuan saw through it, the other big shots naturally could discern it too.

  It was just that at this sort of time, there was obviously no one who would come forward to expose it.

  "Grandfather, I . . ."

  Cao Fang hugged his face and was just about to speak, but he was cut off by Cao Zheng who said, "Why aren't you quickly releasing the person yet and apologizing to Little Brother Ye? The Heavenly Evil Sect's matters, even City Lord didn't say anything. Is there a need for you to care about other people
liking salty carrots? Go back and face the wall to reflect. Cause trouble for me again and you better be careful; I'll waste you!"

  Same as Ren Dong, Cao Fang grew up under Cao Zheng's protection since young. Cao Zheng had never hit him like this before. This made Cao Fang feel very wronged.

  However, although Cao Zheng's words were said out very viciously, it actually did not hurt nor itched. It even sowed discord between Ren Xingchun and Ye Yuan's relationship a little without leaving any traces.

  Ren Xingchun this person as the City Lord, what he relied on was not scheming and plotting, but it was incomparably tyrannical methods.

  Not only was his Alchemy Path strength preeminent, but his attainments in the Martial Path were also exceedingly high. He belonged to a different class of existence among alchemists.

  In Wu Fang City, all those who refused to give in to him, he had always used bloody methods to suppress them.

  Actually, he originally planned on being a mediator coming here today. Little did he think that because of his fiery temper, he would actually clash with Ye Yuan.

  In truth, Ye Yuan being able to answer the Thousand Query Wall's seventh level's questions was immensely beneficial to them, fellow alchemists.

  But Ye Yuan's means were too domineering. This kind of directly dropping in to smash the place action would directly affect the Wu Fang City's position in the alchemists' hearts.

  Ren Xingchun as the City Lord had no choice but to come forward to stop Ye Yuan.

  But how could Ye Yuan be so easy to get along with? It was fine if he talked nicely. Yet, Ren Xingchun just had to have a commanding tone, directly aggravating Ye Yuan's opinion of him.

  . . . . . .

  Before long, Skymaple was finally brought out.

  When Ye Yuan saw Skymaple's slightly miserable looking appearance, he knew that Skymaple most likely suffered considerable hardsh.i.p.s in this short while. The fury in his heart involuntarily soared higher.

  When Skymaple saw a bunch of Alchemy Sovereign experts present, he could not help s.u.c.k.i.n.g in a deep breath and came to Ye Yuan's side.
