Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  One elder said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Speaking of this, I feel angry! If not for Ye Yuan and Zheng Qi, we wouldn't be so passive right now either! This Ye Yuan is good, ownself taking the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and running!"

  Ruo Xu said, "Alright, don't simply guess anymore. When we see Grand Elder, we'll know."

  ...

  In the great hall, He Chong sat at the top position and still had an unfathomable appearance.

  The elders meeting started. He Chong opened his mouth and said indifferently, "Convening everyone today, there's an important matter to tell you all. Xuan Yu, you say it yourself."

  Everyone was uncertain what it meant, looking at Xuan Yu in surprise, not knowing what medicine was being sold in the gourd.

  Xuan Yu nodded his head and slowly said, "Everyone, this old man's personality, everyone is also aware. Taking on this position of head elder is truly a little an onerous task. Hence, I requested from City Lord and Grand Elder for me to resign from this position of head elder."

  The moment these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, everyone's gazes cast toward Ruo Xu one after another!

  Xuan Yu was … admitting defeat?

  Chapter 1687 - Head Elder, Ye Yuan!

  The moment Xuan Yu retired, only Ruo Xu could become this Head Elder!

  This struggle finally still ended in Ruo Xu's victory!

  Indeed, Xuan Yu had been the head elder for so many years, but his presence was virtually zero.

  The major and minor matters of the Pill Tower were mostly decided by Ruo Xu.

  Xuan Yu was practically made a figurehead.

  If it was another person, carrying on like this also had no meaning. Might as well resign from the position of head elder to avoid embarrassment.

  Ruo Xu's face revealed a look of great joy. He had suppressed Xuan Yu for so many years. Suddenly being ridden on top of his head by him, he was naturally rather unhappy.

  Now, he finally brought Xuan Yu down.

  There was virtually little hope of Ruo Xu to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm and become a Five-star Alchemy God.

  And his d.e.s.i.r.e for power had inflated limitlessly.

  Losing the position of head elder was a crowning humiliation to him.

  Today, this disgrace was finally washed away!

  Those Pill Tower elders all looked very excited too. Clearly, they felt happy about the success of their team.

  Of course, under this kind of circ.u.mstances, they could not behave too overboard. But they were already ready to go back and congratulate properly.

  "Head Elder, why are you doing this? In our Pill Tower, your strength is the greatest. This position of Head Elder, you're the most suited!"

  "Yeah, Head Elder, you have to think thrice before acting!"

  "Head Elder, this kind of joke mustn't be joked, be careful, take caution!"

  ...

  These elders all started urging. It was just that their tones appeared very perfunctory.

  Those present were all extremely experienced people. Who could not tell?

  Coldfeather looked at this scene with a smile, having a disdainful look on his face.

  While Ning Zhiyuan had his head lowered, looking straight down as if it had nothing to do with him.

  Clearly, he already learned to be wise.

  Today's matter was rather unusual. It was very likely to be related to Ye Yuan. Opening his mouth again, he would be a fool.

  At this time, Ning Zhiyuan was very grateful to Ning Tianping in his heart. If it wasn't for him, the Ning Family also would not benefit from being in a favorable position. They would definitely capsize again today.

  Doing it again today, that would be offending Ye Yuan to the core.

  Regarding these perfunctory voices to persuade him to stay, Xuan Yu understood in his heart. But he just smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks, everyone. Not being the head elder, this old man is still a member of the Pill Tower and can still contribute to Heavenly Eagle."

  Ruo Xu's face had unconcealable smugness, but he still consoled, "Actually, I feel that it's a good thing for Younger Brother Xuan Yu to temporarily resign from the position of head elder. He's only a step away from becoming a Five-star Alchemy God right now. It's time to put down secular affairs and seek to break through wholeheartedly. If Younger Brother Xuan Yu can breakthrough to become a Five-star Alchemy God, that will truly be a great thing for our Heavenly Eagle!"

  These words sounded nice, but breaking through to become a Five-star Alchemy God, it was easier said than done.

  It was not that to reach the half-step Celestial Deity Realm, you just had to work hard slightly and you would be able to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.

  Take Gao Yuan that guy as an example. Reached half-step Celestial Deity Realm for several tens of thousands of years but he didn't break through to the Celestial Deity Realm either.

  Following that, everyone feigned another round of persuasion to stay. Xuan Yu said coolly, "Everyone, there's no need to persuade me. This old man's mind is made up."

  At this point, the surface work had been done. Everyone naturally no longer try to persuade him.

  He Chong said coolly, "What Ruo Xu said is right. Xuan Yu has already stepped into becoming a half-step Celestial Deity and should go into seclusion properly and strive to break through to become a Five-star Alchemy God. Since his mind is made up, then this matter is decided. Now, I'll announce the new candidate for head elder."

  Hearing this, Ruo Xu's face revealed an eager expression.

  Other people's gazes are also cast on him.

  Ruo Xu was a little excited in his heart. The feeling of being the focus on attention was pretty good.

  In Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the Pill Tower's position of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had high authority and power. It could be said to be beneath two people and above tens of thousands.

  This kind of power, who could be unmoved?

  He Chong slowly opened his mouth and said, "The position of the Pill Tower's head elder is of utmost importance to my Heavenly Eagle. Naturally, the person with the greatest strength has to take on the post. This person is …"

  Speaking until here, He Chong deliberately paused, sweeping a glance over everyone's faces, finally stopped on Ruo Xu's face.

  That expression was somewhat complicated.

  However, the current Ruo Xu clearly did not notice it.

  His b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s already left his seat, preparing to receive the new appointment.

  "Ye Yuan!"

  At this time, He Chong lightly spat these two words out of his mouth.

  Ruo Xu's smile instantly froze on his face.

  He stood up halfway currently, but in the end, what He Chong spat out of his mouth was not his name.

  This scene was rather awkward.

  Everyone was extremely shocked, being rendered dumbfounded by this name.

  How could the head elder be Ye Yuan?

  How could the head elder possibly be Ye Yuan?

  "G-Grand Elder, is … is there a mistake?" Ruo Xu said with a look of disbelief.

  Even though he knew that Ye Yuan returned. Even if he broke through, he was also not qualified enough to be the head elder, right?

  He Chong's face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Ruo Xu, do you take this old man to be muddle-headed? Such a major matter, would I be mistaken? Brother Zuo, come on out."

  He Chong's words made everyone's entire body tremble.

  The city lord actually came in person?

  At this time, the door to the side hall slowly opened. An old man and a young man, two people, walked out.

  The old one was the City Lord Zuo Shujie whose movements and traces were elusive and secretive. The young one was naturally Ye Yuan.

  Even Ning Zhiyuan also trembled all over when he saw City Lord personally send Ye Yuan out.

  This matter of Ye Yuan assuming the post of head elder, he did not know beforehand.

  It was just t
hat he felt that the timing of Xuan Yu's resignation was too coincidental, so he faintly felt that it was related to Ye Yuan.

  But he did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually going to replace Xuan Yu and take on the post of head elder!

  Furthermore, it was even City Lord escorting him over personally.

  The shocked ones were naturally not just Ning Zhiyuan alone.

  The others were dumbfounded too!

  The matters in the city, City Lord never took an interest in them.

  If there really was something, it was also He Chong acting in capacity.

  They did not expect that this time, for the sake of Ye Yuan assuming the post, he actually came personally!

  Looking at Ye Yuan again, they were shocked again.

  Ye Yuan really broke through!

  Even though it somewhat could not be seen through, the aura on Ye Yuan's body was absolutely one in the Divine Lord Realm without a doubt!

  However, letting a guy who just broke through to Divine Lord Realm be the head elder, it was taking it too lightly, right?

  With Zuo Shujie appearing, He Chong took a back seat.

  "Add a chair for Ye Yuan, put in on Xuan Yu's right-hand side," Zuo Shujie said coolly.

  Under the word of command, someone immediately added a seat to Xuan Yu's right, letting Ye Yuan sit on it.

  Even though it was just a small gesture, it revealed Zuo Shujie's regard for Ye Yuan!

  Ruo Xu's expression flickered incessantly. He could not understand what capability this brat had to actually climb on top of his head!

  Zuo Shujie gave everyone a glance and slowly opened his mouth and said, "I know that many people among you all are puzzled, why Ye Yuan should be the head elder! Actually, Ye Yuan wasn't willing to be this head elder. It was this city lord who requested repeatedly until he was willing to take the post."

  Chapter 1688 - Thrown Into God Refining Abyss

  "W-What?! C-City Lord personally invited him to take the post?"

  "What a joke! What … What capability does he have?"

  "Even if he broke through, becoming the head elder is also too forceful, right? I'm not convinced!"

  ...

  When the elders heard Zuo Shujie's words, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.

  A brat who just broke through to the Divine Lord Realm actually became the Pill Tower's head elder. This was also taking things too lightly.

  They all did not understand why City Lord would regard Ye Yuan so highly.

  Ruo Xu was extremely unwilling in his heart. Xuan Yu riding on his head, he was already very upset to begin with.

  Now, it was actually changed to Ye Yuan riding on his head. He could not tolerate it even more.

  He gritted his teeth and said, "City Lord, this … I'm not convinced! A Divine Lord who just broke through becoming our Heavenly Eagle's head elder, this is also taking things too lightly!"

  Zuo Shujie gave him a glance and said coolly, "Head Elder this position has always been reigned by the strong. Otherwise, how to convince the masses? Inviting Ye Yuan to be the head elder is naturally because his ability is sufficient to convince the masses!"

  Everyone's faces could not help changing when they heard that, all revealing disbelieving looks.

  Those present were all Alchemy Dao major powers. They were not characters who were easy to fool.

  Even if a person refined rank three divine pills until it was transcendent, it also did not mean that the person could similarly do so with rank four divine pills.

  Same for those of the Martial Dao, there was similarly a massive gulf between Martial Dao rank three and rank four.

  This gulf needed time to bridge.

  Rank four divine pills, an alchemist needed to integrate world power to be able to form a pill.

  And the technique involved in this absolutely could not be utilized to the highest level in one or two days.

  Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao talent was unparalleled, so no one doubted that he could refine rank four divine pills as impressively as rank three divine pills in the future.

  But, at the very most, Ye Yuan merely broke through in the past several decades. How could he possibly have such profound Alchemy Dao strength?

  Ruo Xu's expression was very ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "City Lord's meaning is that Ye Yuan's current Alchemy Dao strength already surpasses mine? Ruo Xu isn't convinced! I want to compete with him!"

  Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "No need! Let you see a person, you'll understand! Zheng Qi!"

  At this time, a figure outside the great hall slowly walked in. It was precisely the Zheng Qi who had already been missing for a long time!

  Seeing Zheng Qi, everyone's faces changed.

  "Half-step Celestial Deity! Head Elder Zheng he … he actually broke through?"

  "The stubborn injury on him is already all healed!"

  "This … Could this be Ye Yuan's work? This is impossible?"

  ...

  When the group of elders saw Zheng Qi, their expressions abruptly changed.

  Forget that injuries fully recovered, he actually even broke through!

  Zheng Qi slowly stepped into the great hall. The past declining trend was swept clean and what replaced it was boundless enthusiasm.

  He clasped his hands at Zuo Shujie and He Chong and said, "Paying respects to City Lord, Grand Elder!"

  Zuo Shujie slowly nodded and said to everyone, "Ye Yuan already completely cured Zuo Shujie's hidden injuries. Furthermore, he even helped him improve a step further. Ye Yuan's strength, Xuan Yu also candidly acknowledged his defeat. That's why he would take the initiative to resign. Do you all … still have any objections?"

  The group of elders exchanged glances, being dumbstruck by amazement with today's sudden turn of events.

  Before coming, they were even mocking that Ye Yuan had no face to see people.

  But now, with a sway of his body, he actually became the head elder.

  What shocked them even more was that Ye Yuan just broke through not long and his strength actually bested even Xuan Yu already.

  Such horrifying strength, it was naturally more than enough to be the head elder.

  However … Ruo Xu was awkward.

  Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Zuo Shujie said coolly, "Actually, Ye Yuan originally already resigned from his post as an elder and wasn't willing to come out of retirement again. Yesterday, I found Ye Yuan for a long talk before he reluctantly agreed to it. Starting from today, Ye Yuan is the Pill Tower's head elder, presiding over all matters of the Pill Tower. Xuan Yu is the second elder, Ruo Xu is the third elder, so on and so forth."

  Finished talking, Zuo Shujie said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, the Pill Tower this whole works will be entrusted to you in the future. However, your most important task is still cultivation. After all, you're my Heavenly Eagle's future!"

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "City Lord rest assured, Ye Yuan has a score in my heart."

  Zuo Shujie was not overselling Ye Yuan. He really talked until his jaws ached before convincing Ye Yuan.

  To Ye Yuan, the reason why he returned to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was primarily still because of the 500-year agreement with Li-er they all.

  Ye Yuan still had feelings for Heavenly Eagle. At least, in this place, there were quite a few of his fetters.

  Furthermore, Ye Yuan also understood that making an exception to promote him to become a Pill Tower elder back then was naturally Zuo Shujie's intention too.

  If this were not the case, he might still have to wait until God knows when to find Qin Xiao to take revenge back then.

  In the end, he owed Zuo Shujie a favor.

  Hence, that was why he agreed to take on the post of head elder.

  Ye Yuan naturally understood that this position of head elder was not easy to be. But he did not mind either.

  Ruo Xu could bully Xuan Yu, but wanting to bully him, Ye Yuan, he was still a bit too tender.

  Moreover, in front of absolute strength, any tactic was utt
erly useless!

  In Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan had such confidence.

  Zuo Shujie said coolly, "I can naturally set my mind at ease with you. Alright, this matter is settled like this!"

  Finished talking, Zuo Shujie and He Chong two people left straight away, leaving behind everyone with baffled faces.

  Ruo Xu shot Ye Yuan a glance coldly, gave a cold snort, and turned around, about to leave.

  "Halt! Did I let you go?" Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Ruo Xu suddenly turned around, eyes spewing fire as he said in a cold voice, "Ye Yuan, you don't be too smug!"

  Ye Yuan looked at Ruo Xu and said coolly, "It's true that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! No wonder back then, Song Qiyang, a disciple, dared to even turn his nose up at me, this elder. Turns out that it was taught well by you, his master! City Lord's words earlier, could it be that you didn't hear?"

  Ruo Xu was already beyond furious and roared loudly, "If this old man wants to leave, could it be that you can still stop?"

  Finished talking, his figure moved, directly walking out of the great hall in large strides.

  Right at this time, Coldfeather and Zheng Qi got up at the same time, one left and one right, stopping Ruo Xu.

  The power of half-step Celestial Deity emitted off the two people's bodies. Ruo Xu's expression finally changed.

  He suddenly realized that these two great half-step celestial deities were both Ye Yuan's close buddies.

  Ye Yuan said coolly, "Brother Coldfeather, you're the Martial Hall's head elder. Defying one's superior and affronting the prestige of the head elder, what should be the punishment?"

  Coldfeather broke into a smile and said, "Apart from City Lord and Grand Elder, the head elders' authority is paramount and isn't permitted to be affronted. If there are offenders, throw into the Martial Tower's God Refining Abyss!"

  The God Refining Abyss was a separate space inside the Martial Tower, a place used specifically to punish prisoners.

  That Qin Xiao was currently imprisoned in the God Refining Abyss.

  Ruo Xu's expression changed when he heard that and glared at Ye Yuan as he said, "Ye Yuan, you dare?!"

  Ye Yuan laughed when he heard it and said, "Why wouldn't I not dare? Today is this elder's first day taking office and you gave me an opening gambit. If I let you go out like this, how will I still be a head elder? Brother Coldfeather, Brother Zheng, take him down and throw him into the God Refining Abyss for three months, so as to punish him!"
