"This . . . Three years ago, she took fancy on a punk and wanted to be together with him. But I disapproved and locked her up. Who knew that it actually became like this! At first, I thought that she was feigning madness. But later, only when she actually really killed people on sight did I know that something really went wrong with her! Master Ye is truly god-like, to actually deduce the matter back then close to the mark like you saw it with your own eyes just by relying on diagnosing the pulse! Truly impressive! Earlier, how this Gu has given offense, Master Ye, please don't take offense!" Gu Changshun gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You, as a father, I can understand that kind of attitude. But this guy keeps on wagging his tongue here, irritating to the max! That whatever Alchemy Saint, do you still have anything to say now? If there isn't anything you want to say, can you get lost or not? Unable to achieve anything, but good at ruining things!"
He Shuming never thought that Ye Yuan actually found the cause of the illness miraculously. Furthermore, his deduction was just like he saw it with his own eyes!
Moreover, this kind of cause which lurked in the depths of the divine soul was simply unable to be fished out, alright? Just what kind of method did Ye Yuan diagnose it through?
But hearing Ye Yuan say so, He Shuming became visibly stung and said, "Stinking brat, what did you say?"
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Isn't it so? Why is the ten-thousand year profound ice able to suppress mental demons? It's because it can have an impact on suppressing the divine soul! This kind of illusionary art which incubates in the depths of the divine soul wouldn't be too dangerous to martial artists. Even if not treated, Miss Gu can completely break through by relying on her own soul force after a few months. But you tied her onto ten-thousand year profound ice, suppressing her divine soul, amplifying the effect of the illusionary art instead! Said that you're unable to achieve anything, but are good at ruining things. Is that a little light or not?"
Ye Yuan's words made He Shuming's countenance changed again and again.
His analysis was incisive. But this way, he actually became the main culprit for Gu Qing's illness worsening.
With this, how would Gu Changshun view him?
Indeed, Gu Changshun's expression changed. His expression when looking at He Shuming became odd.
Even though he knew that He Shuming was unintentional, the charge of carelessly treating his daughter could not easily be dismissed.
But He Shuming's relationship with the Gu Family was very friendly. Gu Changshun did not know how he should handle it for a moment too.
No matter what, He Shuming was the Ancient Opulence City's only Alchemy Saint powerhouse as well!
Even though this Alchemy Saint seemed rather unworthy of the title in front of Ye Yuan.
Chapter 726 - Meteor Trading Company
"You! You're making malicious remarks carelessly! If you have the ability, cure Qing-er. Otherwise, don't talk nonsense in front of this old man!" He Shuming said furiously.
"Unraveling illusionary arts is just a matter of a wave of a hand. What's difficult about it?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
He Shuming really wanted to defame Ye Yuan a couple of sentences, but he swallowed his words back down when it reached the tip of his tongue.
This boy's means were indeed rather bizarre. Since he could find the cause of the illness, wanting to cure Gu Qing was likely really not something hard.
"Don't be all talk and no action!" He Shuming said coldly.
But Ye Yuan did not respond. He just looked at He Shuming indifferently, smiling faintly, and not speaking.
When Gu Changshun saw this scene, how could he not know Ye Yuan's intention? He could only say awkwardly, "Brother He, how about . . . you withdraw for a bit first for the time being?"
He Shuming could not help freezing when he heard that. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan simmered with rage!
"Snort!"
He Shuming flicked his sleeves grandly and left.
"Heh, the fly is finally gone."
Once He Shuming left, Ye Yuan came to Gu Qing's side, muttering incantations from his mouth. He actually recited incantations!
Very soon, Ye Yuan's voice reverberated throughout the entire dungeon in waves in Sanskrit!
"Ah . . . Don't! Don't say any more words!"
Ye Yuan's voice reverberated by Gu Qing's ears, making her expression became as if in pain.
But Ye Yuan was completely indifferent towards Gu Qing's plea and still stubbornly recited the incantations.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan's reciting voice abruptly stopped!
"Soul cleansing!"
Ye Yuan gave a light cry. That faintly discernible voice drifting in the dungeon poured into Gu Qing's sea of consciousness all at once.
Gu Qing's entire body trembled but did not struggle anymore.
Her two eyes also gradually became limpid from murky.
Ye Yuan turned around and said to Gu Changshun, "Family Head Gu, your daughter is already fine. But she has already been tied on this ten-thousand year profound ice for two to three year's time. This had considerable harm to her divine soul. I'll give a prescription for a medicinal soup. After drinking, she will recover."
Gu Changshun noticed that that noxious air on his daughter's body immediately melted into the air after Ye Yuan's cry.
Ye Yuan indeed fully cured Gu Qing's ailment!
"Master Ye, this Gu is indebted forever!" Gu Changshun said in great joy.
But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Heh, Family Head Gu don't need to be courteous. I'm undeserving of the gratitude. Family Head Gu, don't resent this Ye will do!"
"Dare not, dare not!"
. . . . . .
With the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall changing owners, it stirred up a mighty uproar in the Ancient Opulence City.
The district the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall was at was the most flourishing district in the Ancient Opulence City. No matter doing what kind of business here, it could all prosper.
To the Gu Family, this Luxuriant Fragrance Hall could be said to bring in bushels of gold daily, but it got occupied by a Divine Traversing Realm boy who was little known!
When this matter was dug out by people, it made everyone's jaws drop.
Everyone was curious how a Divine Traversing Realm boy seized away such a piece of land from the hands of a colossal giant like the Gu Family.
What made people click their tongues in surprise even more was that the Gu Family as one of the three great aristocratic families actually did not even let out a fart!
The time since Ye Yuan ascended was very short. The people he came into contact with were also very few.
His ability was only circulated among the Ancient Opulence City's upper echelons at present.
Although many people did not know the inside story, everyone exercised restraint towards this rising force virtually without experts.
Because everyone could see that Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu frequently traveled together. Their relation seemed to be very close.
Looking at the manner of speech and behavior between the two of them, it did not look like the relationship between a senior and a junior at all. Rather, it looked like extremely close friends instead.
With Jun Tianyu backing him from behind, who dared to act rashly without careful considerations?
On this day, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu came to a trading company in the city together.
"Younger Brother Ye, if you're seeking collaboration, you should go find the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company with the greatest strength. Why do you want to find a small trading company like the Meteor Trading Company?" Jun Tianyu said in puzzlement.
Ye Yuan helping to treat Gu Qing's illness with the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall as the condition naturally had his own idea.
After entering the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan could be said to be a lone soul now. Wanting to cultivate rapidly, he obviously needed even more resources.
But following the rise in Ye Yuan's realm, his
requirements towards resources became increasingly greater too, and more and more expensive.
With his current assets, he simply could not afford it.
When at the Lower Realms, Ye Yuan leaned on a major force like the Wu Fang City and did not have to trouble over cultivation resources before at all.
But after arriving at the Divine Realm, everything was different.
Therefore, Ye Yuan's urgent matter on hand was to earn earth essence crystals or merit points!
If it was like this, selling medicinal pills was naturally the most profitable avenue, and also the channel which Ye Yuan was most skilled in.
Since it was selling medicinal pills, he needed a stable source of spirit medicines. Finding a large trading company to supply the goods was naturally the first choice.
It was just that what made Jun Tianyu puzzled was that Ye Yuan did not reach for the Ancient Opulence City's number one major trading company, the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company, to cooperate. Instead, he chose a second-rate trading company like the Meteor Trading Company to work together with.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "The Heaven's Destiny Trading Company is akin to the sun at high noon in the Ancient Opulence City; it is virtually occupying half of the country. How can such a major force possibly take fancy on us, a puny little Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? Cooperating with the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company, we don't have equal power, nor will they give us this power either. Rather than going to get rebuffed, we're better off putting up with the second best, choosing the Meteor Trading Company to cooperate. The relative size of Meteor Trading Company's business is very small, and they have always been completely suppressed by the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company. I think . . . they should very much want to take a larger share of the Ancient Opulence City's market."
Regarding this new shop's name, Ye Yuan had thought of it long ago. It would be called the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.
Jun Tianyu was clearly ignorant regarding this area. Only when he heard Ye Yuan's explanation did he come to a realization.
But there was one point which Ye Yuan naturally would not tell Jun Tianyu. His friendship was quite deep with the Meteor Trading Company's chairman in his previous life.
This life, ascending from the Lower Realms, he naturally had to choose a trading firm he was closer to.
"So that's how it is. I didn't think that there are still so many tricks of the trade in-between this! But I think that when they see those few types of medicinal pills of yours, they will definitely be very willing to cooperate with us. Those few kinds of medicinal pills of yours are simply too incredible!" Jun Tianyu said with an excited look.
Ye Yuan let him test several kinds of medicinal pills' medicinal effects previously. The result was that it astounded him, this Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist, greatly!
Ye Yuan's medicinal pills were more than a level stronger than the medicinal pills with the same specifications on the market!
More importantly, Ye Yuan's medicinal pills were sold cheaper than those medicinal pills. If Jun Tianyu were an ordinary martial artist, he would buy Ye Yuan's medicinal pills without any hesitation!
Ye Yuan smiled and walked into the Meteor Trading Company together with Jun Tianyu.
"Dear customer, may I ask if you need anything? Our Meteor Trading Company has just about everything. Meteor Trading Company, weapons, cultivation methods, you can freely pick!"
The moment the duo entered, an elderly person immediately came up to welcome and started promoting the stuff in the shop.
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Old man, I see that you have few visitors here. Business doesn't seem to be too good!"
That old man said, "Dear customer, don't look at how we have few people here. The things here are all authentic! Not like some black-hearted merchants, specialized in harming martial artists! Young customer, what thing do you want?"
Ye Yuan said, "I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to find you guys to talk business. I wonder who makes the call in the Ancient Opulence City's Meteor Trading Company?"
Chapter 727 - Testing Pills
"Talk business?" The old man could not help freezing.
"I'm the Ancient Opulence Street's Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's owner, Ye Yuan. Oh, it's the former Luxuriant Fragrance Hall," Ye Yuan explained.
"The Luxuriant Fragrance Hall! You're the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall's new owner?" The old man said in surprise.
Regarding the news of the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall changing owners, the old man had obviously heard of it too. But he did not pay too much attention.
The old man never would have thought that this Luxuriant Fragrance Hall's new owner was actually a Divine Traversing Realm young man!
"Our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion plans on running medicinal pills business and specially come to find the Meteor Trading Company to cooperate," Ye Yuan said.
The old man could not refrain from laughing when he heard that and said, "Young man, doing business isn't as simple as you think! You say that you want to do medicinal pills business. I wonder what kind of rank of alchemists that whatever Fragrant Medicine Pavilion of yours have to hold down the fort? Also, what first-rate pill formulas do you have?"
After the astonishment, the old man was somewhat disdainful towards Ye Yuan.
Hair hasn't even grown fully yet, and you're already wanting to come out and do business like others!
He knew Jun Tianyu. Presumably, for the Gu Family to pinch their nose and hand the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall over was likely still because they feared Jun Tianyu.
It was just that the old man was very puzzled why the all along solitary Jun Tianyu would mix together with a snotty brat.
Even though Jun Tianyu was formidable, the old man did not have any fear towards him.
Although the Meteor Trading Company's power in the Ancient Opulence City was weaker, the entire Meteor Trading Company's power was extremely immense!
A puny little Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse was simply inadequate in front of them.
The old man also had the confidence that Jun Tianyu did not dare to be unbridled here.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "If I didn't see wrongly, your Ancient Opulence City's Meteor Trading Company should be a 6-star branch, right? You're merely a 5-star manager; can't make the decision at all. What's the use of talking about these with you?"
The old man's expression changed, and he said vigilantly, "How did you know that I'm a 5-star manager? No, wait, how are you so clear about the Meteor Trading Company's branch grading? These things, normal people don't know at all!"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You don't need to care about this. Just care about bringing me to go see the person who runs things will do."
This old man was clearly also just a shopkeeper and could not make the decision at all. The Meteor Trading Company's head manager should be a 6-star manager.
With Ye Yuan's relationship with the Meteor Trading Company's chairman, knowing this point was too normal.
The old man was just about to refuse when a melodious voice came from the inner chamber.
"Let Mister Ye and Lord Jun come in!"
The old man was helpless when he heard that and could only bring Ye Yuan duo in.
When Ye Yuan heard this voice, he could not help being rather curious. Could it be that the head manager in this Ancient Opulence City's Meteor Trading Company was actually a woman?
The duo following Old Duan into the inner chamber. Indeed, they saw a woman wearing a veil sitting at the left-hand side.
Beside her even stood an elderly person who was shockingly a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse too!
Seeing Ye Yuan duo enter, their gazes could not help sizing Ye Yuan up. And the moment Ye Yuan came in, he naturally sized this woman up as well.
This woman was merely a Boundless Realm martial artist but sat on the chair while that Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist was actually standing behind her.
Looks like this
woman's identity was extraordinary.
"Mister Ye is actually aware of my Meteor Trading Company's grading system. Truly unexpected. If it's convenient, can you tell Qian-er where you got to know it from?" The woman called Qian-er took the lead to speak first.
Ye Yuan said, "Business is business. If Miss Qian-er is interested, this Ye can slowly tell you in the future. But this Ye came today with sincerity to talk about cooperation."
Qian-er did not pester too much on this topic. Even though ordinary martial artists did not know about the Meteor Trading Company's grading system, it was not some secret either.
But she was very curious. Ye Yuan was poor and had nothing. What was he using to cooperate with her?
The matter that happened in the city these few days, Elder Duan did not know, but she was crystal clear.
As a major trading firm, if she could not even find out about this bit of information, she did not need to mix around anymore either.
Ye Yuan this youth was absolutely not as simple as seen on the surface!
Disregarding other things, just this Jun Tianyu following Ye Yuan like a guard was not what ordinary people could accomplish!
"Fine then. Since Mister Ye doesn't wish to say anymore, then let's dive right into the topic. Your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion can be said to have zero foundation in Ancient Opulence City. Although there is Lord Jun convoying, it probably won't be that easy to want to gain a firm foothold. This transaction won't do just by relying on martial strength! Doesn't Mister Ye have the suspicion of wanting to gain something without risking anything of your own by finding us for cooperation?" Qian-er said without mincing her words at all.
Actually, Qian-er did not think this way in her heart at all!
For Ye Yuan to want to establish the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, he had to choose a trading company to cooperate.
But Ye Yuan did not choose the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company but came straight to the Meteor Trading Company. It was sufficient to discern Ye Yuan's wisdom and farsightedness.
It was just that she did not feel Ye Yuan could have any confidence to collaborate with her either.
But Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's location made Qian-er very moved. Hence, that was why she let Ye Yuan come in.
