And one of them even had seven stars on his badge. Who could it be but He Shuming?
These seven to eight people, the ones with the lowest strength were middle-rank Alchemy Ancestors too!
“Hiss . . . Ancient Opulence City only has a total of around 10 Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses. Seven came all at once. Alchemy Saint He is truly skillful! Ye Yuan, I said to transfer our Meteor Trading Company’s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses over, but you just refused! Now, we are going to suffer a huge loss, right?” Qian-er gnashed her teeth in hatred and said.
The Meteor Trading Company naturally had Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses too. Moreover, it was even a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor.
The collaboration this plan, Qian-er planned to let him come and hold down the fort at Fragrant Medicine Pavilion but was rejected by Ye Yuan firmly.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Just a few Alchemy Ancestors. Doesn’t count as anything.”
“Just a few . . . Alchemy Ancestors?”
Qian-er was speechless. You yourself are only at Alchemy Sovereign Realm, alright?
Moreover, this Alchemy Sovereign was even an Alchemy Sovereign without an alchemist badge!
They could not refine Tier 6 medicinal pills, so they were destined to be crushed by these Alchemy Ancestors, let alone that there was still that Alchemy Saint He glaring at them like a ravening tiger.
“Ye Yuan, this old man heard that your new shop opened for business and specially invited a few people in the same line over to pay tribute. What? We are not welcomed?”
He Shuming greeted Ye Yuan with a big smile from far away, rather like old friends.
It was just that even a moron also knew that He Shuming was a weasel paying respects to the hen, with no good intentions!
The Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company was at the opposite Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s Alchemy Saint. How could he possibly be here to support the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion?
Challenging the dojo was more like it!
The martial artists surrounding and watching outside became spirited at once. The did not expect that this was just the first day opening for business and both parties already had swords drawn and bows stretched!
Alchemy Saint He made a move personally. There was a good show to watch now.
This Fragrant Medicine Pavilion wouldn’t close down on the first day it opened for business, right?
Ye Yuan went forward to welcome with a smile too, saying in a clear voice, “If there are friends coming to congratulate, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is naturally most welcoming. But if there are mad dogs coming to bark crazily, we’ll naturally serve with dog-beating sticks. Alchemy Saint He, I wonder which type are you?”
The Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company had long witnessed Ye Yuan’s sharp tongue before and had sufficient mental preparations this time. He laughed loudly when he heard that and said, “These few people in the same line heard that a medicinal store strong enough to rival the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company opened on Ancient Opulence Street. There must be an Alchemy Path master with astonishing strength holding down the fort! We came today wanting to bear witness to this Alchemy Path master’s strength. Ye Yuan, I wonder where this Alchemy Path master is?”
Chapter 732. Gallant Promise |
Seeing this sort of provocative action, Jun Tianyu’s brows knitted together slightly.
Towards this He Shuming, he did not have much of a favorable impression.
For the sake of Liu Yiru’s illness, Jun Tianyu had once dropped in to visit He Shuming before. But because He Shuming cherished his feathers, he was not willing to take action.
He Shuming was afraid that he could not cure it, so he did not dare to take action.
The last time Ye Yuan went to treat Gu Qing, He Shuming’s attitude made Jun Tianyu dislike him even more.
Who knew that this guy actually came to provoke again today, finally infuriating him.
“He Shuming, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is opening for business today. Are you making light of this Jun like this?”
Jun Tianyu gave a cold snort. A powerful sword intent released involuntarily.
He Shuming’s expression changed slightly, but he did his best to keep a calm exterior and said, “Brother Jun saying this, it can be seen that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion doesn’t have confidence! Brother Jun can send me packing today. But after today, I’ll see if there is anyone who dares to come to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to buy things!”
Jun Tianyu’s brows furrowed when he heard that, but he could not very well make a move.
He knew that the doubts about the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion outside now were considerable. If they avoided and did not fight today, it would probably really be like He Shuming said; no one would come and buy their things.
Opening and doing business, what it stressed was harmony breeds wealth. Even if Jun Tianyu’s martial strength was any greater, he was also not able to convince others from the heart.
Even though he clearly knew that He Shuming did not have good intentions, his Alchemy Saint title was right there. It was fine if they fought, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s reputation would be utterly fouled.
The panic in He Shuming’s heart vanished when he saw the situation and said with a smile, “We came today purely to communicate and exchange notes among alchemists. Why must Brother Jun be so hot-tempered?”
At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly voiced out, “What kind of a communication style does Alchemy Saint He want? Just state it out clearly will do.”
He Shuming was secretly pleased when he saw Ye Yuan accepting the challenge. But he feigned surprise on his face and exclaimed, “En? Could it be that that expert in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is Ye Yuan yourself? This … Could it be that such a large Fragrant Medicine Pavilion of yours doesn’t even have an Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse holding down the fort? This is also too shabby, right?”
With this, the surrounding martial artists could not help discussing softly.
“What? I even thought that the rumor was false. Opening such a large medicinal store in the most bustling place on Ancient Opulence Street, how can there possibly be not even one Alchemy Ancestor? Looking at it now, it was actually true!”
“A medicinal store without even a single Alchemy Ancestor, can the medicinal pills sold be eaten?”
“This … I really have no idea where Ye Yuan’s confidence comes from, to actually dare open a medicinal store with this kind of strength. We’d better go to the opposite Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company to buy medicinal pills.”
Although the rumors said that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion did not even have an alchemy ancestor, everyone actually did not really believe it.
To dare challenge the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company, one at least had to have a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor holding down the fort too, right?
Messing around for half a day, and there was only one Alchemy Sovereign? Even if this Alchemy Sovereign was any more abnormal, what use was there?
Qian-er wished to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. The skeleton in their closet was exposed with this. She felt that her face was thrown all the way back to her grandma’s place.
Even for those medicinal pills which could not be refined, employing their Meteor Trading Company’s Alchemy Ancestors to put on a facade was good too.
Now, things were great. How could an Alchemy Sovereign convince the public?
Ye Yuan smiled very calmly and said, “There is naturally an alchemy ancestor. But due to various reasons, he is unable to make it today. Everyone, what my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion trade are Tier 5 medicinal pills. But we likewise accept Tier 6 medicinal pill transactions. However, Tier 6 medicinal pills must be booked in advance, and the spirit medicines are provided by yourselves. Everyone rest assured. The Tier 6 medicinal pills produced by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion are absolutely better than any other stores in the Ancient Opulence City!”
“Heh heh, what high-sounding sentiments! Before bragging, you d
on’t gauge your strength either. Aren’t these words uttered from the mouth of a puny little Alchemy Sovereign the biggest joke in the world?” An Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse laughed coldly when he heard that.
This was a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor named Su Qide. His strength was only second to He Shuming among this group of Alchemy Ancestors; he was not to be underestimated.
Ye Yuan fished out several medicinal pills. These medicinal pills were shockingly all Tier 6 medicinal pills!
“Although our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse is unable to make it here, he left behind several Tier 6 medicinal pills. The few of you all claim to be Alchemy Ancestors. I wonder how many are able to refine this standard of Tier 6 medicinal pills?” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Tier 6 transcendent-grade! Hiss …”
Once the medicinal pills appeared, He Shuming and the others, their expressions all changed.
The few medicinal pills in Ye Yuan’s hands were actually all Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills without exception!
Even though these people were Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses, to want to refine Tier 6 transcendent-grade, it was still a little forceful.
Even He Shuming this Alchemy Saint had to depend on luck to refine Tier 6 transcendent-grade too.
The number of Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills in the entire Ancient Opulence City was probably also just as many as in Ye Yuan’s hand.
It could be imagined how precious these Tier 6 transcendent-grades in Ye Yuan’s hand were!
How on earth did this brat find so many transcendent-grade medicinal pills?
“Heh heh, looks like the Meteor Trading Company specially transferred over quite a number of transcendent-grade medicinal pills from other places for the sake of this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion! Can a mere few transcendent-grade medicinal pills intimidate us?” He Shuming was the first to react and said with a cold smile.
In his view, Ye Yuan’s Tier 6 transcendent-grades could only be transferred over from other places by the Meteor Trading Company.
Otherwise, who else was able to refine so many Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills in this Ancient Opulence City?
But Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, “Is that so? I can promise everybody here that custom-ordering Tier 6 medicinal pills from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, prepare three sets of spirit medicines yourself. The worst of the medicinal pills turned over to everyone will also be Tier 6 high-grade!”
When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!
This sort of promise was seriously too domineering!
Even the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company did not dare to easily make this kind of promise either!
Alchemy Ancestors refining Tier 6 medicinal pills, if it was not those common medicinal pills, there was a very high likelihood of ruining the medicinal pills.
Just three sets of spirit medicines were able to guarantee at least Tier 6 high-grade. This kind of promise was seriously too confident!
He Shuming’s face was black as the bottom of a bot. If the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion really had this kind of ability, who would still go to their Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company to buy medicinal pills in the future?
“Ye Yuan, aren’t you bragging too hard here? Be careful of giving yourself a slap when you can’t do it when the time comes!” He Shuming sneered as he said with a black face.
“Alchemy Saint He really likes to worry! Whether I’m able to do it or not, time will naturally prove everything. Today, I sent the word out. Everyone present all can bear witness. If my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion can’t do it, we’ll compensate 100 times of the spirit medicines’ value!” Ye Yuan said gallantly.
Murmur …
Ye Yuan’s words ignited the surrounding martial artists all at once!
The prices of Tier 6 spirit medicines were not cheap to begin with. If compensating according to 100 times, once or twice was still fine. If the number of times goes up, even a colossal giant like the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company probably would not be able to afford it either!
This promise of Ye Yuan’s was too extreme. Either the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion collapses directly, or the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion soar to the sky in one move.
If Ye Yuan could really do it, the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company would likely be pushed down too.
He Shuming himself was no longer calm as well. He could not quite grasp whether Ye Yuan really had this confidence, or was he making an empty show of strength …
Chapter 733. Compete with My Disciples |
“I want to pre-order one Tier 6 Dragon Tiger Pill!”
“I want to pre-order one Spirit Heart Sacred Rain Pill!”
“I want to pre-order …”
Even Boundless Realm martial artists were no longer able to remain calm when they saw so many transcendent-grade medicinal pills.
Transcendent-grade medicinal pills, what did this signify?
This was a guarantee!
A guarantee that this medicinal pill was able to reach the limits of the medicinal efficacy!
In front of transcendent-grade medicinal pills, no one was able to maintain composure.
For a moment, the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion fell into chaos. Up here, down there, were all Boundless Realm martial artists wanting to pre-order Tier 6 medicinal pills.
Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, “Everyone, don’t be hasty! Otherwise, we totally won’t accept your request! Those with the intention, head over there to line up and register. The first batch is only accepting pre-orders from 100 customers. Bring the spirit medicines and pill formula to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion within three days. Half a month later, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will deliver this batch of medicinal pills together, and we will accept orders for the second batch of people at that time! Everybody rest assured; earlier, I said that the lowest is high-grade medicinal pills. Actually, the majority should be all superior-grades, even possibly transcendent-grades. As for high-grade, it should be lesser. If we’re really only able to refine out high-grade medicinal pills, everyone, please don’t mind.”
Once these words were said, those Boundless Realm martial artists clamored one after another in a mad rush to be first and lined up over at one side.
Ye Yuan’s words made each and every one of them even more incredibly thrilled!
The likelihood of high-grade was very low, with the majority being superior-grade, even possibly transcendent-grade!
This kind of promise was sufficient to make all the martial artists crazed!
When He Shuming saw this scene, his face instantly became black as the bottom of a pot.
“Ye Yuan, you’re boasting so much, I really want to see how you wind it up! If you can’t hand over the medicinal pills half a month later, I’ll see what face you still have to have a foothold on Ancient Opulence Street!”
In He Shuming’s view, Ye Yuan was completely smacking his own face in order to look imposing!
These Alchemy Ancestors present were all extremely formidable figures. But there had never been anyone who dared to make this sort of promise before either.
A puny little Alchemy Sovereign was actually rampant to such an extent.
This kind of promise was simply smacking the faces of these Alchemy Ancestors.
One had to know that medicinal pills being superior-grade and above all basically had to depend on luck. Especially transcendent-grade medicinal pills, the probability of emerging was already infinitely close to zero.
But Ye Yuan said that the likelihood of high-grade was very low, while the majority were all superior-grade medicinal pills.
Where did this kind of promise place them, these Alchemy Ancestors?
“Heh, to dare make this sort of promise, looks like the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion really has a capable person aiding it! I wonder if Owner Ye can invite him out or not to let everyone broaden our knowledge?” Su Qide seriously could not put up with it and voiced out.
Ye Yuan said, “I already said that he isn’t around today. Aren’t you putting people on the spot here? Besides, how can an alchemist who is able to casually refine superior-grade medicinal pills be what trash like you guys can meet whenever you want?”
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan’s words became incomparably incisive, directly making this group of Alchemy Ancestors out to be trash!
“You! Arrogant! Truly too arrogant! A measly little Alchemy Sovereign actually dares to make impertinent remarks to Alchemy Ancestors! If we, these Alchemy Ancestors, are trash, then what are you? Could it be that cultivating until today, you don’t even know rudimentary pecking order?”
Su Qide was the first to react to it and was directly choked badly by Ye Yuan.
Alchemist rankings were extremely strict. When low-level alchemists saw high-level alchemists, for them to act with a pupil’s mannerism was also very commonly seen.
Alchemist was an occupation completely reliant on accumulation, experience, and accruing of knowledge. All these required time to bring to success.
For alchemists to want to jump realms and defeat their opponents, it was much, much harder than martial artists.
So under normal circumstances, even at the same realm, between initial-rank, middle-rank, and high-rank, there was an extremely large gap too.
A heaven-defying existence like Ye Yuan was absolutely in the minority.
Of course, if an alchemist could acknowledge an Alchemy Emperor at the level of Ye Yuan as master, their starting point was naturally much higher compared to these ordinary alchemists. Only then, was there the possibility of crossing realms to battle.
Ye Yuan said haughtily, “I only respect the strong. Your strength is too weak. In my eyes, it’s total trash. Why do I have to respect you all? Moreover, you all are clearly here to challenge the dojo. Still want to talk about pecking order with me. Don’t you find it laughable?”
“Good, good, good!” Ye Yuan’s words thoroughly infuriated Su Qide. He uttered three ‘good’s in succession, gnashed his teeth in hatred, and said, “A measly little Alchemy Sovereign actually dares to utter wild ravings. I want to see what capabilities you have to dare call us, a group of Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses, trash! Boasting needs the courage to boast. Dare to compete or not?”
