Ye Yuan fell silent. Regarding these information that Zhao Qian told him, it was within his expectations. But it was also outside of his expectations.
The thing within expectations was that the Meteor Trading Company was likely unable to inquire about some core information.
The thing outside of expectations was that he did not know why Ji Canglan wanted to seal off all information about the holy land.
Ji Canglan successfully usurping the throne should be precisely the time he was ill.u.s.trious, free and unfettered. But he lived a life isolated from the world. What medicine was he selling in his gourd?
"Talk about it," Ye Yuan suddenly said.
Zhao Qian said, "The Medicine King Hall's predecessor Hall Lord, Ji Zhengyang, and his son, Ji Qingyun, were both the pinnacle-most peak Alchemy Emperor powerhouses in the current age. Quite a number of Divine King experts in the Divine Realm all received their grace before. Among them included quite a number among the Ten Great Divine Kings! After their father and son pair passed away, there were quite a number of Divine King experts who all paid a visit, wanting an explanation before. Legend has it that the Spirit Bristle Divine King personally went to find the new hall lord, Ji Canglan, but he turned back halfway. As for specific reasons, it was unknown."
"Second, after the Ji father and son passed away, Ji Canglan did not exterminate everyone ruthlessly, but he let out a batch of people. It was said that these people were all people with close ties to the father and son pair. But after these people came out, they also vanished. Our trading company later attempted to find these people, but we did not find a single one. Of course, this is also because our Meteor Trading Company's strength is too weak. I believe if it's the Heaven's Secret Tower, they should be able to find."
"Third, eight years ago, the Medicine King Hall once took action and annihilated several major factions. Naturally, the one thing which shocked the Divine Realm most of all was that they made a move and destroyed a quasi-super holy land, the Bloodrain Holy Land, slaughtering the Bloodrain Holy Land's Divine King powerhouses clean, astounding the Divine Realm! After exterminating these major forces, the Medicine King Hall lowered their banners and muffled their drums, and they did not take action anymore again either. As for the reason they took action, the Medicine King Hall never had mentioned it. Nobody dared to ask either."
Ye Yuan's face revealed a solemn expression!
Annihilating a quasi-super holy land with a wave of a hand, the Medicine King Hall's strength post-Ji Zhengyang's era did not decrease, but it had increased instead!
Ye Yuan truly could not imagine how Ji Canglan did this.
Looks like wanting to kill Ji Canglan was even harder than imagined!
"Then do you know what strength Ji Canglan is at right now?" Ye Yuan asked.
Zhao Qian shook her head and said, "People who have seen him take action before are all dead! But it can be certain that his present strength is definitely much stronger than in the past! Now, in the Divine Realm, there's a guess that Ji Canglan's current strength is likely not beneath the Ten Great Divine Kings already!"
Ten Great Divine Kings was the Divine Realm's benchmark quality figure.
These Ten Great Divine Kings were not self-proclaimed but given out by the Divine Realm's most mysterious power, the Heaven's Secret Tower.
Back then, when they gave out this Ten Great Divine Kings title, the Divine Realm was filled with outrage and questioning voices.
Many divine kings were unconvinced and went to find these Ten Great Divine Kings to fight one-on-one.
But the final result also affirmed the might of the Heaven's Secret Tower's information system!
The positions of the Ten Great Divine Kings, no one was able to shake them!
Regardless of how formidable the opponents' strength was!
They used countless victories to affirm the might of their own strength, and also verified the Heaven's Secret Tower's might!
Not only did the Heaven's Secret Tower give out these Ten Great Divine Kings titles, they even issued the Ten Great Divine Kings power ranking.
Of course, just who was strong or weak among these Ten Great Divine Kings, nobody knew at all.
They had never competed openly among themselves before, and there was also nobody who expressed refusal to concede to this ranking.
Over the course of time, the reputation of the Ten Great Divine Kings was gradually accepted by everyone in the Divine Realm.
If Ji Canglan's strength was already comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings, that was absolutely a very troublesome matter.
This level of a powerhouse was on completely different levels from ordinary divine kings.
Unless Ye Yuan could break through to the Divine King Realm, wanting to kill Ji Canglan was absolutely out of the question!
Chapter 785 - Heaven's Destiny Auction
Due to there being no Deity Realm powerhouses, Divine King experts were virtually the Divine Realm's apex existences.
It was just that between divine kings and divine kings, there was similarly a huge disparity.
Take the Spirit Bristle Divine King for example, his strength was sufficient to instantly kill four or five ordinary divine kings.
Even if he was besieged by numerous divine kings, he also had sufficient assurance to escape alive.
Wanting to kill the Ten Great Divine Kings was virtually a mission impossible to complete.
If Ji Canglan's strength were really able to reach that sort of degree, the difficulty of Ye Yuan wanting to kill him would be too great.
Ji Canglan was not just his strength alone being formidable; behind him even stood the entire Medicine King Hall.
To be able to lock down the Medicine King Hall's news so thoroughly, Ji Canglan's control over the Medicine King Hall had definitely reached a degree unimaginable by the average person already.
After getting a second life, Ye Yuan had always been pleased with the progress of his own strength.
But looking at it now, this vengeance did not seem to be easy to avenge.
Putting aside other things, just talking about strength reaching the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings, it was an extremely difficult thing.
One had to know that these Ten Great Divine Kings, each one of them grasped several supreme true intents.
While Ye Yuan only grasped one supreme true intent right now.
The disparity in-between this was not just a tiny bit!
Talking about supreme true intent was easy. To really comprehend was too difficult, too difficult.
The Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, those gathered were all one-in-ten-thousand geniuses. But among them, apart from Ye Yuan, who else was able to comprehend a supreme true intent?
"Fine. If your Meteor Trading Company still have other information related to the Medicine King Hall, send them over to me. Additionally, help me keep an eye on the Medicine King Hall. Once there are any signs of disturbance, immediately notify me. I'll decide when to give you the other pill formulas according to your information. This is the Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill's pill formula. On it has the method to refine this medicinal pill. Take it," said Ye Yuan and casually threw Zhao Qian a jade slip.
Logically speaking, to be able to obtain Ye Yuan's other medicinal pills' formulas, this should be something deserving to be happy about. But now, Zhao Qian felt that these pill formulas were somewhat scalding to the touch.
"If Mister Ye wants to obtain the Medicine King Hall's accurate information, probably only finding the Heaven's Secret Tower will work. You also know that with our Meteor Trading Company's strength, it's impossible to inquire very in-depth information," Zhao Qian said with a frown.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, the Heaven's Secret Tower's origins were unclear to begin with. Furthermore, their strength is unfathomable. God knows if they have any relation with Ji Canglan. If I really went to find them, I might be sold and not even know it! Zhao Xingchen's daughter … I can still trust!"
/>
In the past, the Medicine King Hall had collaborations with the various major trading companies. Ye Yuan still quite trusted Zhao Xingchen's character.
If he had to find a force to inquire for information, the Meteor Trading Company was clearly the most suitable.
This was also the reason why he would find the Meteor Trading Company to collaborate.
Zhao Qian listening to a snot-nosed brat calling Zhao Xingchen over and over again, no matter what, it somewhat had the taste of behaving like a senior.
Hesitating slightly for a bit, Zhao Qian still could not refrain from asking, "I wonder, what kind of relationship … Mister Ye and Father has?"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "When the time comes, you'll naturally know. But I didn't expect that Zhao Xingchen actually went missing. Looks like the Divine Realm has really entered a period of trouble!"
The current Zhao Qian was surprised and bewildered in her heart.
She felt that the Ye Yuan in front of her seemingly became another person.
But this Ye Yuan gave her tremendous pressure.
Zhao Qian faintly felt like she grasped a little something, but it was just missing that tiny bit, that bit keep on slipping through her fingers.
This sort of feeling made her go crazy.
...
Ye Yuan returned to the residence, but the chambers were all deserted long ago already. Pei Wenqiang had returned to the Pei Family to report the completion of his task. He would only come back tomorrow morning.
The others had a youth's temperament in the end, strolling around the holy land's various places. There were only Tang Fan and Mu Yun, these two people, seemingly waiting for Ye Yuan to come back.
Tang Fan obtaining Ye Yuan's guidance, just in this one month, his strength already soared by leaps and bounds.
In between this, he even went to Ye Yuan to compete several times. But each time, it was an utter defeat.
Tang Fan's sword art had become faster, but it was still unable to touch Ye Yuan.
The faster his sword art, the faster Ye Yuan's movement technique, seemingly forever without limits.
In this one month, the two people had a good teacher-student relationship.
Of course, Mu Yun being able to enter the grand finals was entirely thanks to Ye Yuan's medicinal pill. His attitude towards Ye Yuan naturally went without saying too.
Among these six people, the three of them walked the closest.
"Ye Yuan, you finally came back. We've waited a long time for you!" Mu Yun grumbled.
Ye Yuan said curiously, "Waiting for me for what?"
Mu Yun said rather excitedly, "We heard that the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company wants to hold an auction tonight. I heard that there are quite a few good stuff. Tang Fan and I plan to go take a look. Since there's nothing tonight, why don't you join in too!"
An auction organized by the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's Crimson Afterglow Branch, the level was naturally not what those cities at the lower levels could compare to. Having some good stuff during the auction was also normal.
But with Ye Yuan's horizons, things able to make him interested were really not many.
However, he looked at Tang Fan's and Mu Yun's anticipating expression. He felt bad about denying them invitation, so he agreed.
"Alright, go experience it then. However, going to an auction, did you guys brought enough earth essence crystals on you?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
"Hey, you're also looking down on the two of us too much! Although we aren't as wealthy as you, we're absolutely not paupers either!" Mu Yun said with a laugh.
It was already late right now. By the time Ye Yuan trio arrived at the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company, there was already not much time remaining from the start of the auction.
Arriving at the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company, only then did Ye Yuan suddenly recall something and could not help asking the two people. He said, "You guys dragged me to this auction, but we don't have the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's invitation. How do we go in?"
The things being auctioned at the auction were normally all valued extremely highly. Without sufficient wealth, going in would only bend their backs.
Those able to enter the auction were either wealthy or noble. It was naturally impossible for some random tom, d.i.c.k, or harry to go in.
Tang Fan pulled out three jade plaques like pulling a magic trick, saying smugly, "Without adequate preparations, wouldn't coming over be losing face?"
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. It looked like these two brats had some skill. The holy land level was completely not what cities could compete with. They actually used just one afternoon's time to get three jade plaques.
When the three people entered the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's auction venue, inside was already filled with people.
Only now did Ye Yuan know that the jade plaques the three of them had could only sit at the most remote corner, and could not help being speechless.
"Yo, isn't that the great genius Ye? You guys actually came to the Heaven's Destiny Auction too! Why is a great genius like you sitting in this out-of-the-way corner? Isn't it a loss of dignity?"
Ye Yuan trio had yet to take their seats when an extremely piercing voice sounded out at the side.
Turning around to take a look, it was Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan.
While beside Wu Jianqing, there was still a young man.
Chapter 786 - Three-Lives Stone
"En? Elder Brother Jianqing, you know them?" the young man frowned slightly and said.
"Jiantong, didn't you very much wanted to know who the sole Divine Traversing Realm in this competition is? It's him!" Wu Jianqing said with a cold smile.
The young man's eyebrows raised up, and he said disdainfully, "I was wondering if he had three heads and six arms. Turns out that it's also merely just like this! Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm, what can he accomplish reaching the grand finals? Looks like your Ye City's competition zone truly has nobody! Boy, I heard that you're very c.o.c.ky. Hope that the competition this time, you and I don't run into each other!"
This young man called Wu Jianqing as his elder brother. He was probably a member of the Wu Family.
But his appearance was very arrogant; it was a manner as if he was number one under the heaven, pissing people off.
Ye Yuan played it down and said, "Is that so? I think so too, huhu."
Wu Jiantong's expression fell when he heard that and said with a cold smile, "Looks like you still don't know who this Young Master is, right? A measly little Eighth Level Divine Traversing actually dares to utter this sort of big talk. Not afraid of your teeth falling out!"
Ye Yuan did not lack resources currently. With the support of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed was very quick. One month's time, Ye Yuan already broke through to the Eighth Level Divine Traversing.
Wu Jiantong was very arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant too. His age was only around twenty plus years old, yet he already reached Ninth Level Boundless!
"Don't know, and don't want to know either."
Ye Yuan's manner actually did not attach importance to Wu Jianting in the slightest.
Wu Jiantong was clearly someone arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. His temper flared up with a stroke.
"Brat, you have balls! This competition, you'll die very horrible! Elder Brother Jianqing, let's go to the reserved box for honored guests. Let these bumpkins squeeze in this corner!"
This place was the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's area. Wu Jiantong naturally had to give some face and could not very well get into a fight.
After the three people left, Ye Yuan, Tang Fan, and Mu Yun took their seats. Tang Fan gave Ye Yuan a thumbs up and said, "Brother Ye is indeed impressive, to actually even think nothing of Wu Jiantong!"
Ye Yuan was curious too as he said, "Why? Is he famous?"
Mu Yun said with a smile, "More than just famous! The Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, Wu Jiantong is a f
avorite contending for the championship second only to Nalan Chu! Offending him, Brother Ye will probably have to be a little careful in the competition this time. Only Brother Ye doesn't recognize him. If it were another person, they would probably have to take a detour around."
Ye Yuan touched his nose and said smilingly, "So impressive? Looks like I've offended someone I shouldn't offend!"
Mu Yun said speechlessly, "Brother Ye's strength is outstanding. But it's best to be a little more careful still. The grand finals is a fierce struggle. Be slightly lacking in strength, and one will likely get eliminated. The Wu Family is powerful. If any schemes surface, it might be detrimental to Brother Ye."
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Even if I don't provoke him, Wu Jianqing would probably think of ways to make him come and provoke me too. This selection competition ultimately still depends on one's own strength."
The three people were just speaking when a coquettish madam walked up to the stage and said in a clear voice, "Appreciate everyone honoring with a visit, coming to our Heaven's Destiny Auction. This lowly self is Cai Yue. I believe that friends who frequently come to the Heaven's Destiny Auctions won't be unacquainted with this lowly self. Enough talk, we'd better go into the main topic. Today's auction items have a total of 13 articles. I believe that everyone came today for that finale holy artifact at the end. As for what that holy artifact is, allow this lowly self to keep you guessing and leave it till the end to unveil!"
This Cai Yue was clearly an auction veteran. Just a few simple words stirred up everyone's appetites fully.
Holy artifact, this was something not often seen in Rank Nine Holy Lands!
One had to know that holy artifacts were things that Dao Profound Realm powerhouses used. Each item was worth a city.
