Clearly, he had long finished the refinement, watching Song Qiyang refine with an amused expression by the side.
Song Qiyang was angered until his face was livid and he said furiously, "Punk, don't get too c.o.c.ky! Flash out your medicinal pill for everybody to see, then be rampant with me!"
Gu Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "See then see, am I scared of you?! After I finished refining it just now, I observed by the side for a while. Regarding winning a rookie like you, I still have confidence."
Finished talking, Gu Han directly opened the furnace.
When everyone saw Gu Han's medicinal pill, each and every one of their faces revealed a look of despair.
"Why?! Why that kid can actually refine a high-grade Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill!"
"The disparity is too great! With Song Qiyang's pill refinement situation, it's at most also middle or low-grade."
"Sigh, could it be that my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, nobody can come out and take care of this punk?"
...
Each and every one of these people sighed incessantly. These few days, they were triggered badly by Gu Han.
It was just that none of them thought of Ye Yuan at all. Because the current Ye Yuan would not be included in the junior group long ago.
Ye Yuan was a Pill Tower elder, that was an existence with extremely high status. How could it be possible to get involved in this level of competition?
But if not counting Ye Yuan, there really wasn't someone capable of withstanding Gu Han's genius now.
He already made the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City lose all of its face.
Song Qiyang's expression was incomparably ugly. People are aware of their own affairs, he reckoned that his medicinal pill was most likely just low-grade.
This medicinal pill, he struggled greatly to refine.
Gu Han's face revealed mockery as he said, "Why? Don't dare to open? Or is it that you already know that you lost? Doesn't matter, according to our agreement previously, the one who loses bow three times to the victor, then say three times 'I'm a rookie, who greatly admires Lord Gu Han,' and this matter will be considered over."
Song Qiyang's face turned red, standing there being at loss.
In a corner building, River Eternal Imperial City's head elder had a regretful look. He said with a smile, "Brother Ruo Xu, looks like your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City really has no successor! I heard that this is the disciple that you're most proud of? He actually only has this bit of capability?"
Ruo Xu's face turned as black as the bottom of a wok and said, "Ling Zikun, you merely hit the jackpot and ran into a good apprentice. Being smug for what?"
Ling Zikun smiled and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, don't get angry. Juniors sparring a bit, why are you so angry? You look at when Xuan Yu's female disciple lost that day, she was much calmer than you!"
Ruo Xu said with a cold snort, "Ling Zikun, did you come to my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to assume great airs, or do you really have important matters? If there aren't important matters, please go!"
Ling Zikun smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying, this old man naturally came here because I have important matters. But this matter isn't urgent for the time being, so I stopped for a longer period of time here. While I'm at it … let the little fellows spar a bit, it's also considered getting acquainted!"
"Humph!" Ruo Xu gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.
In the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, Ye Yuan asked Ning Tianping next to him in a low voice, "The others all did this?"
Ning Tianping nodded and said, "Otherwise? This punk is too c.o.c.ky, but nobody can do anything to him. That's why he's arrogant until now."
In that case, Ning Siyu also bowed to Gu Han.
Ye Yuan did not have overtly angry emotions. This kind of small squabbles was just like children fighting to the current him.
His horizons and state of mind were far from what Gu Han, this kind of kid, could understand.
It was just that Ning Siyu was also considered half his disciple. Being defeated by a little brat, he still felt ashamed.
"Why? Senior Apprentice Brother Song is the disciple that Head Elder Ruo Xu values the most, it wouldn't be can't bear a loss and want to repudiate your debt, right?" Gu Han said with a smile that was not a smile.
Song Qiyang's face turned into the color of pig's liver. Making him, a Four-star Alchemy God, bow to a Three-star Alchemy God, and even had to call the other person lord, this was simply even more uncomfortable than eating a fly.
But in front of so many people, if he went back on his word, then what he disgraced wouldn't just be him alone, there was also the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's people.
"Goddamit, what kind of world is this? Why are there so many freakish existences?"
Song Qiyang cussed in his heart, resolved his heart, and was just about to bow, but had their collar held by someone from behind.
Turning around to look, he could not help opening his mouth wide.
When the onlookers saw this young man who suddenly appeared, each and every one of them became incomparably excited, virtually almost shouted out.
Ye Yuan did a hush hand gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Those people immediately understood and instantly quietened down.
But that look of anticipation on their faces could not be concealed no matter what.
Gu Han looked at everyone's reaction, his face revealed a suspicious look.
Who was this? Why did everyone have this kind of expression?
Seemed like the moment this kid came, he could overcome the raging tides.
The other party was clearly just a grand completion Origin Deity.
In terms of realm, he was not even as high as him!
This kind of rookie wanted to beat him?
Dream on!
Didn't he see that this Four-star Alchemy God in front of him already lost to him?
"Ye …"
Song Qiyang was just about to speak but was interrupted by Ye Yuan. He said coolly, "Alright, leave it to me here. You go to one side and watch."
Seeing Ye Yuan say so, Song Qiyang was akin to being granted amnesty and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
He never dreamed that Ye Yuan would actually come forward at this time.
One had to know, his past with Ye Yuan was rather unpleasant!
If it were him, he might also want to watch Ye Yuan lose face on the stage, then go up and send this hateful punk packing.
Thinking this way, Song Qiyang could not help being somewhat moved in his heart.
He discovered that compared to Ye Yuan, he was simply a despicable person!
He repaid ingratitude with kindness, letting him leave casually at this time. It could be said to save his face to the greatest limit.
For the first time, Song Qiyang somewhat regretted opposing Ye Yuan.
"Halt! Senior Apprentice Brother Song, are you going to go back on your word here? If you do so, where you want Head Elder Ruo Xu's face to go?" Gu Han did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all and said in a solemn voice.
Song Qiyang's figure froze, and sure enough, stopped moving.
Ye Yuan waved his hand at him, indicating for him to go down, and said coolly to Gu Han, "He didn't renege. His bet with you, I'll take it over."
Gu Han sized Ye Yuan up and down with a glance and said with a snicker, "You? A mere Three-star Alchemy God, what right do you have to help a Four-star Alchemy God take over? Your face isn't that big yet!"
Chapter 1612 - It Then
Regarding Gu Han's contempt, Ye Yuan thought nothing of it.
"Isn't Lord Gu Han known as River Eternal Imperial City's number one genius? Why? You don't even dare to accept a challenge from me, a mere Three-star Alchemy God?" Ye Yuan said with a light smile.
Gu Han had a proud look as he said, "Not just any random Tom, D.i.c.k, and Harry can challenge me! Who I challenged were all Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's first-rate young geniuses. So who th
e hell do you think you are?"
This Gu Han was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. The targets that he challenged were not randomly selected, but only challenged after careful inquiry.
It was just that nobody told him that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still had a terrifying existence.
This existence was already not on the same level as a so-called genius like this.
The moment Gu Han's words came out, immediately, a strange atmosphere spread out through the crowd.
Ye Yuan gently made a gesture, signaling everyone to calm down.
Everyone immediately understood and quietened down very quickly.
They already saw through that Ye Yuan was deliberately here to slap faces, and that he intentionally gestured to them to not divulge his identity.
Everyone was incomparably depressed these few days. Their geniuses suffered a crushing defeat, now, even the Four-star Alchemy God Song Qiyang was defeated.
More importantly, if they lost, they lost. But the one who lost even had to bow three times to him and even had to say that kind of nauseating words.
Gu Han's actions already aroused everyone's feelings of being filled with a common hatred for the enemy.
Ye Yuan taking the initiative now to come out and take care of Gu Han, how could they not be happy? Hence, they became very cooperative.
They all thought very playfully in their hearts that the expression on Gu Han's face in a while would definitely be extremely wonderful!
You're a genius?
You are unmatched under the heavens?
Hur hur!
When you witness Elder Ye's means, you'll know that your pride is simply a joke.
Ye Yuan was not angry either and said with a light smile, "Whether I have the qualifications to challenge you or not, you ask them and you'll know. You guys, do I have the qualifications to challenge him?"
Ye Yuan said it to the crowd of onlookers, they were also very cooperative when they heard.
"Ye Yuan is our imperial city's youngest genius. He naturally has the qualifications to challenge you!"
"If even Ye Yuan doesn't have the qualifications, then nobody has this qualification!"
"Not daring to accept the challenge, you wouldn't be afraid of losing, right?"
...
Everyone clamored to get a word in, but nobody revealed Elder Ye Yuan's identity.
If not saying it out personally, Gu Han wouldn't believe even if he was beaten to death, that Ye Yuan was actually an elder-class figure.
In the corner building, Ling Zikun laughed in spite of himself and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's junior disciples already can't send people out? Even a Four-star Alchemy God was defeated, but to send out a Three-star Alchemy God over, isn't it simply asking for humiliation?"
Ruo Xu's face revealed an extremely strange expression. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually come forward at this time.
He even thought that Ye Yuan had no interest in this kind of struggle between juniors. He knew that with Ye Yuan's realm, this level of fighting was merely small squabbles.
But very clearly, Ye Yuan stepping up at this time was the most suitable.
"Ling Zikun, you don't get c.o.c.ky too early! This young man is different from the rest!"
How shrewd was Ruo Xu? How could he reveal Ye Yuan's identity?
This Ling Zikun postured in front of him every day,so he had already had enough of that attitude.
Now that Ye Yuan took the initiative to step forward and slap faces, how could he not help him achieve success?
His conflict with Ye Yuan was also just internal conflict no matter what. But now, people were bullying his own side, so how could he help outsiders?
Sure enough, Ling Zikun had an indifferent look and could not help laughing as he said, "Different from the rest? How different can he be? Among Three-star Alchemy Gods, it's impossible for there to be someone who's Gu Han's match. His strength, you saw it too. What are the chances of winning do you think this unknown kid has?"
Ruo Xu gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.
But he was secretly thrilled in his heart.
Even I am Ye Yuan's vanquished opponent. But this dog-fart apprentice of yours also want to win against Ye Yuan?
You aren't even qualified to kneel and lick his shoes!
...
Seeing everyone's words, combining with the looks when everyone saw Ye Yuan previously, Gu Han already determined that Ye Yuan was likely a rising star in the city.
Except, why did no one tell him that there was still such a young powerhouse after he inquired for so many days?
Could it be that this guy in front of him was the strongest person among the young generation?
However, who cares!
Any young genius could only kneel and lick him too!
"Alright, I'll give you this opportunity! Same rules, you lose, together with him!" Gu Han said proudly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Done, no problem."
Gu Han gave Ye Yuan a glance and said coolly, "Don't say that I'm bullying you. You pick the medicinal pill. Just pick that one that you're best at because it doesn't matter to me."
Ye Yuan pointed at the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill and said with a smile, "This then."
Gu Han was taken aback. He even thought that Ye Yuan wanted to pick some easier medicinal pills. He did not expect that this kid actually dared to challenge the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill.
After being dazed, Gu Han laughed in spite of himself and said, "Kid, do you really know how to refine pills? Could it be that you're blind? Even your Senior Apprentice Brother Song, a dignified Four-star Alchemy God, nearly failed just now. You, a Three-star Alchemy God, actually want to compete in the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill with me?"
Song Qiyang did not leave, being said so by Gu Han, his entire person blushed red with embarrassment.
He wished to rush up to the stage and peel this punk's skin off.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill, it's nothing much."
Gu Han knew that he was very arrogant, but he suddenly discovered that this guy in front of him was even more arrogant than him!
"Yoo, what high-sounding sentiments! Then I want to see whether or not your strength can match your tone!" Gu Han could not help laughing as he said.
The competition started.
The moment Ye Yuan made a move, Ling Zikun's expression changed.
That kind of Great Dao melody, that skilled to the extreme pill refining technique, was not on the same level as Gu Han at all.
With Ye Yuan's current strength, refining the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill was too easy. He only used 20% to 30% strength and it was sufficient to insta-kill Gu Han.
But in Ling Zikun's view, it was completely not the case.
"This … Could it be that this young man is your disciple? Brother Ruo Xu, you concealed so deeply!" Ling Zikun's words revealed astonishment and helplessness.
He did not expect that Ruo Xu actually saved his ace in the hole till the end.
Only several dozen breaths passed and Ling Zikun knew that Gu Han did not have any chance of winning at all.
Not even a scrap!
Seeing Ling Zikun's deflated expression, it was Ruo Xu's first time laughing so happily in this one month.
Ruo Xu laughed and said, "Heh heh, this old man doesn't have that blessing and also doesn't have that strength."
Ling Zikun said in surprise, "Could it be … an apprentice of one of those few people?"
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the strongest were naturally not Ruo Xu and Zheng Qi.
The truly powerful existences normally could not be seen at all.
Hence, Ling Zikun thought of those few straight away.
Ruo Xu smiled and said nothing. He did not answer Ling Zikun.
Merely less than one hour and Ye Yuan was done.
When Gu Han finished refining, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a look
of amus.e.m.e.nt.
That expression was the exact same as how he looked at Song Qiyang before.
Chapter 1613 - So-called Genius
Ye Yuan opened the furnace very leisurely, retrieved the pill. Naturally, Gu Han was shocked, not daring to believe it.
"D-Divine-grade! How is this possible!" Gu Han said in shock.
"Why can't it be possible?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Gu Han pointed at Ye Yuan's medicinal pill and said, "You're just a Three-star Alchemy God, so how can it be possible to refine a divine-grade Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since it's a rank three divine pill, why can't a Three-star Alchemy God refine divine-grade? You can't do it. It's just because your cultivation is lacking."
Gu Han was rendered speechless. His expression flickered non-stop and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't accept it! L-Let's compete again!"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, "Alright, your turn to choose this time then."
Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "I want to compete in the Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill with you!"
Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill was Gu Han's current maximum ability.
If categorizing it according to difficulty, it should belong to peak level six.
With Gu Han's present ability, even refining low-grade was only through brute force and with difficulty.
But at this time, he already could not care.
Compared to other geniuses, Gu Han's age was already considered very young. Till this date, he was also merely 500 to 600 years old.
But today, he was completely defeated by someone at the same rank who was less than 300 years old. He could not endure this grievance.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I even thought that you'd pick some level seven difficulty. I didn't expect that choosing here and there, it's still level six. Forget it, don't need you to refine either. You just watch by the side. When I finish refining, if you feel that you can surpass me, then it's not too late to make a move then."
