Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

There were many alchemists who immediately formed organizations to mourn for Ji Qingyun.
But now, Ji Qingyun actually came back to life!
How could this news not shock them?
Zuo Qing said with a roaring laugh, "That's right, this young man called Ye Yuan at the moment is precisely your idol, Ji Qingyun! At present, he's merely just a stray dog!"
The expressions of Ao Qian and the rest all changed and they wanted to make a move to deal with Zuo Qing.
This guy actually insulted people with words!
Ye Yuan waved his hand and stopped them from taking action, and he said nonchalantly, "A good dog doesn't block the path, get lost!"
"Yo, this imposing momentum really doesn't lose out to back then! It's just a shame that your strength is far too lacking!" Zuo Qing did not get angry either and just ridiculed.
Ye Yuan darted him a glance and said indifferently, "Looks like some people forgot about the matter of losing until buck-n.a.k.e.d back then."
Ye Yuan naturally recognized this Zuo Qing in front of him. Among the people who challenged him back then, this Zuo Qing was also one whose strength was very formidable.
It was just that this guy's utilitarian heart was too strong and wanted to step on his reputation to climb up.
Other than things related to pill battles, they even added another clause. The one who loses would take off all of their clothes and run for three days and nights in Cloudmarsh City.
The result was naturally that Zuo Qing was crushed until he was beaten blue and black.
This matter was treated as a conversation topic 300 years ago and was a joke for a very long period of time.
300 years later, this Zuo Qing actually became Cloudmarsh City's deputy city lord with a shake of his body.
With the white tiger battle, the news of Ji Qingyun returning was already not some secret among the Divine Realm's upper echelons.
With Zuo Qing's status, knowing about Ye Yuan was also not some unexpected thing.
Upon hearing Ye Yuan mention this incident, Zuo Qing's face immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.
Over 300 years had passed, Cloudmarsh City's alchemists had long changed batch after batch already. But there were still some who knew about the matter back then.
"Humph! A stray dog actually dares to be so c.o.c.ky too! Publicly appearing in Cloudmarsh City, aren't you afraid of Ji Canglan coming to kill you?" Zuo Qing said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need for you to worry about that. You'd best worry about the clothes on you."
Zuo Qing could not help being stifled by this. Ye Yuan just kept using this matter to irk him. He could not do anything at all.
"You're indeed still as revolting as back then! However … since our beloved Lord Qingyun Zi came back, are you interested in playing another round? You're being addressed respectfully as Qingyun Zi. Even if you're only initial-rank Alchemy Emperor at the moment, your strength probably can't be underestimated either, right? You look, this Cloudmarsh City's countless alchemists all view you as their idol. Could it be that you have no intention of broadening their horizons?" Zuo Qing suddenly switched faces and said mockingly.
Over 300 years had passed. Zuo Qing's strength could not be mentioned in the same breath long ago, while Ye Yuan only had initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength at present. He was betting on that Ye Yuan did not dare to compete with him.
When he knew that Ye Yuan showed up in Cloudmarsh City, his first reaction was to come over and humiliate him ruthlessly.
Zuo Qing's suggestion was not held in contempt by the surrounding audience. On the contrary, each and every one of them all revealed a look of anticipation.
If it were others, they would definitely feel that Zuo Qing was bullying the weak as the strong. But Ye Yuan was different. Ye Yuan was the god in their hearts and was undefeatable.
Even if Zuo Qing was a high-rank Alchemy Emperor, it was impossible for Lord Qingyun Zi to lose to him either!
Chapter 1034 - Han Qing Zi
Except, this was the way they saw it.
Reaching Zuo Qing's boundary, one would know just how great the gap between initial-rank Alchemy Emperor and high-rank Alchemy Emperor was.
He spent three hundred years before breaking through from initial-rank Alchemy Emperor to high-rank Alchemy Emperor. While at present, Ji Qingyun had merely just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm.
Which was equivalent to saying that Ye Yuan was marching on the spot for these 300 years.
Zuo Qing trained bitterly for 300 years. If he could not even beat the Ji Qingyun who was marching on the spot, he should find a piece of tofu to go commit suicide already.
Him saying these words was undoubtedly wanting to extol Ye Yuan high up to the skies, then in front of everybody, to slay a god!
As long as he could defeat Ji Qingyun, he would obtain innumerable fame and status. Of course, there was still limitless resources.
Qingyun Zi was high up on the summit. His status was God knows how many times higher compared to when he just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm back then!
Slaughtering in all directions in Cloudmarsh City was merely minor squabbles.
But 300 years later, Qingyun Zi was a true apex figure.
Dragging Ji Qingyun down at this time, the implications were far greater compared to back then.
Although somewhat winning through unorthodox means, who asked Ji Qingyun to dare appear in Cloudmarsh City in a swaggering manner?
Ye Yuan smiled, smiled until Zuo Qing felt rather apprehensive.
To Zuo Qing, Ji Qingyun was the nightmare that he could never wipe away for life.
After the battle back then, Ji Qingyun had a meteoric rise and climbed directly to a high position, and only used a very short time to ascend to the pinnacle of the Divine Realm's alchemy world.
While he, although it was not to the extent of fading into the crowd, so many years had passed, but he was still unable to break through to the boundary of peak Alchemy Emperor.
This step was far too difficult!
"It's been 300 years. You, this fellow, are really sludge that can't hold a wall up! You're sure that you want to have a pill battle with me?" Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said with a faint smile.
Seeing Ye Yuan's calm and collected appeared, Zuo Qing's heart could not refrain from pounding.
Qingyun Zi's fame was seriously too overwhelming. Furthermore, his awe-inspiring reputation was gotten from match after match of crushing others.
Except, the moment he thought about Ye Yuan's current realm, Zuo Qing set his mind at ease considerably again.
This guy was definitely pretending to be mysterious!
"Look at what you're saying, to be able to obtain Lord Qingyun Zi's guidance, this Zuo is honored in every possible way!" Zuo Qing said with a smile.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright then, as you wish! Honestly speaking, coming to Cloudmarsh City, I really still somewhat reminisce the feeling back then!"
Hearing Ye Yuan and Zuo Qing's conversation, Gu Yue wished to find a piece of rock to commit suicide!
He actually postured in front of Lord Qingyun Zi! He really postured in front of Lord Qingyun Zi!
Who lent him the gall to dare posture in front of Lord Qingyun Zi?
Gu Yue's confidence swelled at one point and thought that he really could surpass Qingyun Zi.
But he could not even beat Lord Qingyun Zi's disciples …
"Master, he … he's really Lord Qingyun Zi?" Gu Yue pulled Xiao Ruyan and thickened his skin to ask.
Xiao Ruyan flung him off and said smilingly, "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Slap! Slap!
Gu Yue viciously gave himself two tight slaps and said, "Ask you to have eyes but fail to see! Ask you to be condescending! Master, you must take me in as a disciple! I, Gu Yue, must acknowledge you as my master!"
"This young lady can't make the call. I myself haven't even graduated from apprentice
ship yet!" Xiao Ruyan said.
...
"Hahaha! I knew that Lord Qingyun Zi wouldn't die that easily!"
"Lord Qingyun Zi's demise was a major loss to the Divine Realm's alchemy world. Back then, I was even lamentful about this for a long time! Didn't think that he actually seized possession and revived!"
"Lord Qingyun Zi is my life-long goal! Back then, when I heard the news of his demise, I really almost broke down! I just can't imagine that he really didn't die!"
Quite a number of alchemists, especially the young alchemists, were all like they were injected with stimulants.
When they knew that Ye Yuan was Ji Qingyun, they were really incredibly agitated.
In the alchemy world, Ye Yuan was an absolute paradigm-like figure. He was different from those veteran peak alchemy emperors. When he advanced to peak Alchemy Emperor, he was too young.
Furthermore, being young and rash back then, slaughtering in all directions in Cloudmarsh City and becoming the number one person in 100 thousand years, this made him become countless genius alchemists' idol.
This emotional turmoil of losing and recovering their idol again was what ordinary people could not imagine.
Seeing the appearance of emotions running high everywhere, Ao Qian and co. were endlessly amazed too.
They were all the older generation figures already. The things that they had experienced were far, too many. But they had never seen before that someone's sway in the Divine Realm could be so great!
Even Ao Qian, this old monster who lived for 40 thousand years, he felt that he had broadened his horizons today too.
As for Zuo Qing, he sneered coldly in his heart.
When I trample your idol under my foot, I really want to see what kind of expressions you all have!
The current Ye Yuan was already not the Ji Qingyun back then!
Thinking in his heart, Zuo Qing opened his mouth again and said, "Lord Qingyun Zi, why not play the little game back then one more time?"
Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately could not help laughing in spite of himself as he said, "Your present identity is extraordinary. Doing this sort of disgraceful thing again isn't too good, right?"
"Huhu, just having some fun." Zuo Qing said like he had everything planned out.
"Alright then, since you're willing to lose face yourself, that's up to you too. However, the two of us competing in alchemy, who will be the judge?" Ye Yuan refrained from commenting.
Zuo Qing froze. He did not think about this.
With the two of their identities, the average person really could not become a judge.
"I wonder if this old man has the qualifications to be the judge?"Right then, a hoarse and aged voice suddenly sounded out from among the crowd.
Everyone looked over trying to find the owner of the voice. They saw an old man whose hair and beard were all white appear in the crowd, with a sage-like appearance.
Zuo Qing's gaze turned serious as he said in surprise, "Turns out that it's Lord Han Qing Zi. O-Of course you have this qualification!"
Han Qing Zi was an itinerant alchemist without any sect. But he, this person, was famous for being impartial. His prestige in the alchemy world was extremely high.
It was naturally the most suitable for him to be the judge.
But when Ye Yuan saw Han Qing Zi, he could not help laughing as he said, "You, this old fellow who's halfway into the earth, actually came to join in the fun too!"
Han Qing Zi slowly got on the stage and said smilingly, "The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, this kind of grand age, which alchemist wouldn't be moved? It's just that this old man never thought that you actually came back!"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Came back, some things have to be done! This kind of small squabble, I didn't think that you're also willing to join in. Not afraid of demeaning your status either?"
Han Qing Zi burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "You look at the expressions of everyone below the stage, do you still feel that it's a minor spat? Furthermore, not meeting for so many years, this old man is also very curious whether your alchemy Dao cultivation really declined or not."
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine then. Thinking it over, only you're the most suited too. Begin then."
Han Qing Zi and Ye Yuan had a good talk but hung Cloudmarsh City's deputy city lord out to dry at one side. This made Zuo Qing gloomy to the extreme.
But he also knew that with how Han Qing Zi was chatting happily with Ye Yuan, regarding passing judgment this sort of thing, he absolutely would not be partial to one side.
Chapter 1035 - Let Him Run First
At the end, the pill formula that Han Qing Zi picked for the two people was the Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill.
The Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill was a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. The difficulty level was intermediate. To high-rank Alchemy Emperors, it was also not that easy to be able to refine.
Of course, with Zuo Qing's strength, refining it should not be too big of a problem. It was just the question of grade.
Toward this, Ye Yuan had a look of indifference.
Zuo Qing sneered coldly in his heart: "Pretentious! I'll see until when you can pretend like that!"
"Begin then!" Han Qing said coolly.
Zuo Qing already mustered up enough power. Under Han Qing Zi's command, his palm shook and directly shattered the spirit medicines on the table to dust.
Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo!
The moment Zuo Qing made his move, his technique astounded everyone.
Zuo Qing was also considered an example of striving harder after knowing humiliation. After being defeated by Ye Yuan, he did not fall into low spirits. He cultivated with all his might instead. Within a short 300 years time, he reached the boundary of high-rank Alchemy Emperor.
Within 300 years from initial-rank Alchemy Emperor to high-rank Alchemy Emperor, this was a very impressive achievement.
Not everyone could be as freakish as Ye Yuan, to be able to accomplish to this extent within a short several dozen years.
In truth, when Ye Yuan left Cloudmarsh City, he was already a middle-rank Alchemy Emperor.
Those few years, Ye Yuan's pill battle intensity was tremendous. But he also learned from others' strong points and was also a massive improvement to his alchemy Dao strength.
Therefore, that was why Zuo Qing's achievements would be overshadowed when placed in front of Ye Yuan.
When Zuo Qing was still middle-rank Alchemy Emperor, Ye Yuan was already on equal footing with those apex powerhouses in the Divine Realm.
As Cloudmarsh City's deputy city lord, Zuo Qing normally would not easily take action either.
Making a move here today displayed his profound skills.
Except, Ye Yuan did something that astounded people even more. He walked right out of the array formation and started chatting with Han Qing Zi.
Han Qing Zi was stupefied and immediately laughed in spite of himself as he said, "You brat, this is also looking down on Zuo Qing too much, right? No matter what, he's also Cloudmarsh City's deputy city lord now. His strength can't be underestimated!"
Ye Yuan took a look at Zuo Qing and said with a faint smile, "Let him do it first. Otherwise, he'll say that I bully him later."
Zuo Qing was originally fully immersed in the process of shattering the medicines and condensing the embryo. But his eyes glimpsed toward Ye Yuan's action, and he nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.
Fortunately, his strength indeed stood above others and controlled those spirit medicines.
"This damn fellow, definitely infuriating me on purpose! Ignore him, as long as I refine the medicinal pill, this guy will lose for sure!" Zuo Qing cursed inwardly.
Actually, Ye Yuan was really not angering him. In Ye Yuan's view, once alchemists enter the pill refining state, they would devote their heart and soul into it. How could they still have the thought to care about others?
But Zuo Qing just took notice of
him!
First of all, on focus, Zuo Qing lost to Ye Yuan by more than a level.
Ye Yuan just purely felt that this sort of pill battle had no difficulty to speak of to him at all.
Refining high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills was nothing difficult for him.
Refining the Nine Truth Pill the last time, Ye Yuan was just pursuing the strongest medicinal effect, that was why he would bring out his full strength.
However, the moment Zuo Qing made his move just now, he already lost interest in the pill battle.
Too weak!
Ye Yuan's shattering medicine and condensing medicinal embryo, and Zuo Qing's shattering medicine and condensing medicinal embryo, the two were different.
When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance. Zuo Qing's shattering medicine and condensing the embryo was completely unable to fully unleash the medicinal effects of the spirit medicines. His level of skill was still far too lacking.
Han Qing Zi shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "In that case, he doesn't have any hope at all?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not even a shred."
Han Qing Zi sighed slightly and said, "Looks like these 20 years, not only did your alchemy Dao strength not decline, it grew with each passing day instead!"
Ye Yuan said, "Aren't you the same too?"
Han Qing Zi shook his head and said, "That's different! This lifetime, you probably put most of your effort on the Martial Path, right? But hearing the news of your demise back then, this old man was still really stunned for a long time."
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It's still Elder Brother, you, who are concerned about me! Some old fellows were probably thrilled until they skipped around when they heard the news of my demise, right? Uh … including that guy over there."
Han Qing Zi said with a smile, "This old man doesn't have any conflicts of interest with you either. I naturally won't look forward to you dying. If you can really seek out the path of Deity Realm, it might even let us, these old fellows, receive endless benefits!"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "How can the path of Deity Realm be so easy? For 100 thousand years, how many astonishing talented people could not do it, let alone me?"
