Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Song Cao laughed and said, “I’ve been busy refining pills these few days. The gluttonous bug in my stomach flared up the moment the medicinal pills are refined completely, so I immediately came over. Eh, smells so good! Old Tu, your place produced a new product? Why is it so fragrant?”

  Song Cao said a few sentences when suddenly, the tip of his nose twitched slightly. A whiff of alcohol aroma tunneled into his nose, gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind.

  But the moment he said it, Zhang Tu’s expression immediately became ugly, faltering, not knowing how to answer.

  Some meddlesome person pointed at Ye Yuan and said, “Master Song Cao, the wine was brought by that kid himself.”

  Song Cao looked toward Ye Yuan with a slight surprise. Raising his foot, he walked over and said smilingly, “Kid, this wine is pretty good. Let this old man have a taste.”

  His words carried a trace of tone that did not allow any dispute.

  That meaning was that you had to give whether or not you were willing to!

  When Zhang Tu saw the situation, he could not help being delighted in his heart.

  Weren’t you showing off, punk?

  Now that Master Song Cao came to ask for wine, see if you still dare to not give!

  Ye Yuan did not lift his head. Drinking a cup of Sunshine Glow on his own again, he opened his mouth and said indifferently, “You’re Song Cao?”

  Song Cao’s brows furrowed, somewhat happy with Ye Yuan’s attitude in his heart as he said in a solemn voice, “That’s right. This old man is precisely Song Cao. Kid, this wine …”

  His words were said halfway when Ye Yuan suddenly took out a challenge letter and placed it on the table in front of him.

  “Challenge letter?”

  Song Cao was taken aback and could not help laughing as he said, “Brat, you want to challenge this old man? Do you know who this old man is?”

  The others were taken aback with fill, this boy was crazy, right?

  “Where did this brat pop out from? Could it be that he lost his mind? Master Song Cao is our Jiu Luo Ji’s top three ranking Six-star Alchemy God. He, this snotty brat, actually wants to challenge Master Song Cao?”

  “Master Song Cao’s status is venerated, how can he be what a mere nobody can challenge?”

  “This boy went crazy wanting to become famous, right? To actually use this kind of method to draw attention.”

  “Ah! I understand, turns out that the person he’s waiting for is Master Song Cao!”

  … …

  At this time, someone finally reacted and cried out in surprise.

  If say one-shotting Lightning Blade Wang Hang in one move earlier, everyone could still accept it.

  Now, wanting to challenge Song Cao, they were unable to accept it.

  After all, this place was the Northernmost Steppe, easily lifting the blade and killing people was normal.

  But in the Northernmost Steppe, the status of alchemists was venerated.

  The Northernmost Steppe’s environment was harsh, spiritual energy thin, it was not suited for the growth of an alchemist.

  Hence, as long as an alchemist emerged here, their status would be very high.

  Because the martial artists here actually had even higher requirements towards medicinal pills.

  They must experience endless slaughter in order to survive. They naturally needed more medicinal pills too.

  And Song Cao was one of the strongest three great Six-star Alchemy Gods in Jiu Luo Ji.

  He was practically standing at the summit of Jiu Luo Ji already. Now, a brat that popped out of god knows where actually wanted to challenge Song Cao the moment he opened his mouth, overestimating his ability too much.

  Hearing everyone’s cries of exclamations, Song Cao had a smug look as he said, “Hear that, kid? This old man’s strength is sufficient to rank in the top three in Jiu Luo Ji. Even the top two are also not much stronger than this old man. You, a brat who just made his mark in the world, want to challenge this old man? Huhu!”

  “The challenge letter isn’t for you. It’s for your master, Empyrean Loneswan. You don’t have the qualifications to make me challenge you,” Ye Yuan sipped a mouthful of wine and said coolly.

  Words hell-bent on shocking people to death!

  Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

  Even Song Cao was also abruptly stupefied there.

  His master, Empyrean Loneswan, was Jiu Luo Ji’s strongest alchemist, not one of the strongest.

  Because he was the one and only Seven-star Alchemy God!

  Even the Jiu Luo Ji’s other few Empyreans also addressed him as a brother when they saw Empyrean Loneswan.

  “H-Huhu, kid, are you crazy? Challenging Master Loneswan? Who gave you the guts?” Song Cao felt like he heard the most hilarious joke today.

  In his eyes, Master Loneswan was a god; a god that brooked no blaspheming!

  Now, there was actually a brat who wanted to challenge this god. This was something that could not be tolerated.

  Ye Yuan said coolly, “I knew that it wouldn’t go so smoothly. How about this? I’ll fire out a flame, and if you can extinguish it, consider it my loss. I won’t say a single word about this matter of challenging him and will even gift you a jar of Sunshine Glow.”

  “Hahaha …” The surroundings hooted with loud laughter.

  They were laughing at Ye Yuan’s ignorance, laughing at Ye Yuan for overrating his own abilities.

  A hint of amusement was revealed in Song Cao’s eyes and he said with a smile, “Kid, our land of extreme north’s alchemists might not be able to beat other places in refining pills. But the art of controlling fire, that’s what other places absolutely can’t compete with. You’re playing fire with this old man?”

  Ye Yuan said coolly, “You just say yes or no.”

  Song Cao snorted coldly and said, “Fine, this old man agrees to you! If this old man loses, I’ll help you deliver this challenge letter immediately! But if you lose, this wine …”

  What he cared about most was not winning or losing, but the Sunshine Glow.

  This wine was too fragrant.

  Ye Yuan casually beckoned a hand, a jar appeared on the table.

  When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs almost popped out.

  It turned out that this kid still had so much Sunshine Glow on him!

  Could it be that … this wine was really brewed by this boy?

  Smack!

  Ye Yuan snapped a finger very casually, a small cluster of fire flew towards Song Cao falteringly.

  Song Cao laughed in spite of himself when he saw the situation and said, “This is your fire controlling technique? Kid, you’re really making a spectacle of yourself! But your wine is really pretty good!”

  Amidst the loud laughter, Song Cao beckoned with his palm. A cluster of light-green flames turned into a fierce tiger, and it rushed straight at the tongue of flame that Ye Yuan summoned.

  The others also revealed disappointed expressions. They even thought that Ye Yuan would show a breathtaking performance. In the end, it was just this bit of strength.

  Indeed talking big to impress people!

  Pfft …

  Only to hear a slight puffing sound emit in the air. The moment that fierce tiger met the tongue of flame, it immediately disappeared without a trace.

  The whole place was silent!

  Chapter 2072. Treat You to a Cup of Wine |

  “How can it be? Master Song Cao actually lost in a fire battle?”

  “That small tottering flame, which can be smashed with one smack, Master Song Cao actually failed to beat it?”

  “Could it be that this boy is really a fire control master that conceals deeply?”

  … …

  Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, clearly not expecting that such a sudden turn of events would occur.

  Jiu Luo Ji’s top alchemy master actually lost to an unknown little fellow.

  “Just this bi
t of capability? You disappoint me too much,” Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Song Cao got a shock. A solemn expression was revealed on his face, and he said in a deep voice, “Terrific lad, I underestimated you! Watch this!”

  Done talking, Song Cao formed seals with both hands. The divine fire turned into a giant hammer and suddenly smashed over towards that small cluster of fire.

  Bang!

  The giant hammer directly crumbled.

  Song Cao’s expression changed drastically. This time, he was genuinely shocked.

  If that time previously was just him doing it casually, then this time he already unleashed 70% of his strength.

  It actually could not even withstand a single blow in front of this small falteringly cluster of fire?

  Wu Ling’s small mouth opened to form a circle, looking at this scene in disbelief.

  “Big Brother, did Master Song Cao underestimate the enemy too much? This … This is also too unreal, right?”

  Wu Song’s expression was solemn as he shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that it’s not as simple as underestimating the enemy! I also felt that that small flame just now was too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. But looking at it now, the flame was compact to the extreme! So in the view of outsiders, they can’t feel the temperature and aura at all. This fire-controlling technique has reached the acme of perfection!”

  Wu Ling could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan. Could it be that this hateful guy was actually a fire-controlling expert?

  “Not bad this time, the flame is much more condensed. However … it’s still far too lacking. If you’re still not convinced, you can try again,” Ye Yuan said coolly.

  In his view, that handling just now was still okay.

  Compared to the flashiness without substance before, it was clearly much more condensed.

  The alchemists of this Northernmost Steppe would frequently protect the body and expel the cold with flames and were indeed much stronger than alchemists of other places in terms of fire controlling technique.

  It was just that this bit of strength was still inadequate in front of Ye Yuan.

  One had to know, his alchemy strength was the Southern Border’s number one person.

  And what was a foundational skill of alchemy?

  It was naturally fire control!

  In terms of fire control, the world was so big, but there were really scanty few that could win Ye Yuan.

  “Kid, don’t you get cocky! Watch this Song get rid of it for you to see!”

  Song Cao gritted his teeth and made his move once more.

  It was just that no matter how he cast the fire control technique, that small cluster of faltering fire was just like a small diamond, standing steadfast.

  Unleashing seven to eight moves in a row, Song Cao still could not do anything to the flame. His face was grim until it was almost dripping water.

  Ye Yuan also got somewhat impatient and said coolly, “You’re too weak. Better invite your master to come out. In order to reward you, I’ll treat you to a cup of wine.”

  Done talking, Ye Yuan poured a cup of wine and pushed it in front of Song Cao. Fragrance immediately suffused everywhere.

  Song Cao’s expression flickered indeterminately, but he discovered to his dismay that he already unleashed all of his ability and really could not do anything to this small cluster of flames.

  He even had a feeling that even if his master, Empyrean Loneswan, was here, he might not be able to do anything to it too!

  But very soon, he chased this kind of ridiculous notion out of his head.

  How was this possible?

  His master was a Seven-star Alchemy God! He was invincible in this Jiu Luo Ji!

  How could a mere brat who was still wet behind his ears possibly make his master helpless to do anything?

  Song Cao’s attention was drawn over by the thick wine aroma very soon.

  This wine was too fragrant!

  Fragrant until it made people unable to refuse!

  Song Cao could not resist swallowing his saliva and finally still downed it in one shot amidst everyone’s questioning gazes.

  “Good wine! Truly fine wine! This old man has never drunk before such a delicious wine!”

  The moment the wine entered the mouth, Song Cao could not resist giving praises from the bottom of his heart.

  He felt a stream of top-quality wine flow into his stomach, which then instantly set his whole body on fire, making each of his pores open up.

  It was as if a blazing sun rose in his heart, warming his entire body.

  In comparison, the Raging Fire Brew that he had always cherished was simply like garbage.

  When everyone saw Song Cao’s pleased appearance, they no longer doubted the Sunshine Glow.

  Previously, everyone was still half-dubious, suspecting if Wu Song was pretending or not.

  Now, with Master Song Cao personally confirming it, who else would still doubt?

  It was just that this way, the group of martial artists hankered after the Sunshine Glow even more.

  The feeling of being able to see but not being able to drink was truly uncomfortable!

  “Kid, I’ll help you bring the challenge letter! But this wine …” Song Cao stared fixedly at the small flask in Ye Yuan’s hand, his goal self-explanatory.

  He said nonchalantly, “I said one cup, it means one cup. Don’t give me that look. You go back and tell your master that as long as he, Empyrean Loneswan, accepts the challenge, if this Ji loses, this Sunshine Glow’s recipe will be offered up with both hands. Don’t use this kind of eyes to look at me. With your paltry cultivation base, you can’t snatch it away.”

  Song Cao’s eyeballs swiveled around, clearly already having the thought of snatching it.

  In a place like Jiu Luo Ji, there was no justice and law at all.

  Things that caught your fancy, just snatch it.

  As long as your fist was big, whatever you say works.

  By the side, someone saw that the atmosphere was not right and warned out of goodwill, “Master Song Cao, just now, Lightning Blade Wang Hang was planning to take action to snatch, and was defeated by him with one punch!”

  Song Cao’s face changed and he cried out in surprise, “Lightning Blade Wang Hang? He fused two kinds of power of laws, his strength being already comparable to Fifth Firmament True God. He was actually blown up with one punch?”

  That person said again, “Master, so many people were watching it. Could I still be deceiving you?”

  Song Cao’s gaze turned intent, only then discovering that it seemed like Ye Yuan really could not be underestimated anymore.

  It was only to see his gaze turned dark and he said, “Okay! This old man will help you deliver the challenge letter, but I hope that your alchemy skill isn’t just a little bit of fire controlling technique! Farewell!”

  Finished talking, Song Cao put away the challenge letter and directly left.

  … …

  News spread extremely fast!

  Jiu Luo Ji had existed for God knows how many tens of thousands of years already. It had never been heard of that someone dared to challenge Empyrean Loneswan.

  A Seven-star Alchemy God was a divine master in the Northernmost Steppe. Their status was extremely venerated.

  Now, a hothead that popped out from God knows where actually wanted to challenge Empyrean Loneswan!

  For some time, Jiu Luo Ji that had already been quiet for a long time started boiling with excitement.

  “No way, right? Where did this kid pop out from? Never heard before that a remarkable young alchemist emerged in Jiu Luo Ji!”

  “Might have come over from the Northern Border? The brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth actually dares to challenge a Seven-star Alchemy God. Heh heh, there’s a good show to watch now.”

  “I heard that that kid completely defeated Empyrean Loneswan’s accomplished disciple, Master Song Cao, in a fire battle. Wonder if it’s real or fake.”

&n
bsp; “Heh, it’s probably that kid deliberately fabricating it in order to grow his reputation, right? Master Song Cao’s fire controlling technique, saying that it’s number one in Jiu Luo Ji is not even overboard. Just based on that kid?”

  “But I heard that this boy has a kind of wine in his possession that’s extremely delicious! Empyrean Loneswan only accepted the challenge for the sake of this recipe.”

  … …

  The news spread out, questioning voices were everywhere in Jiu Luo Ji.

  All because of this unknown boy who was going to challenge the god of Alchemy Dao in their hearts!

  No one thought that Ye Yuan had hope. This was completely a suicide-style challenge.

  Chapter 2073. Looks Like You Don't Have MuChapter Confidence! |

  In Skyreturn Plaza, people were everywhere.

  A Seven-star Alchemy God taking action, this was a grand event of Jiu Luo Ji.

  Ye Yuan issuing a challenge letter to challenge Empyrean Loneswan spread throughout the entire Jiu Luo Ji like the wind.

  “Eldest Senior Brother, you were also too sloppy. Having Master compete in alchemy with a snotty brat, this is disgraceful!’ Song Cao’s junior apprentice brother, Luo Yu, said with a disdainful look.

  Another junior apprentice brother said, “Isn’t making Master compete in alchemy with this brat pretty much the same as having Master compete in alchemy with us? This kind of alchemy battle doesn’t have the slightest suspense at all.”

  Song Cao smiled coldly and said, “What the hell do you guys know! That kid has a wine recipe in his hands. Once we obtain it, we can definitely earn boatloads of money! At that time, Northday Assemble’s Empyrean Dragonjade and Splitwind Assemble’s Empyrean Junhao will all have to bow their heads in submission toward Master!”

  The moment Luo Yu heard this, he said in puzzlement, “Senior Apprentice Brother, is this wine really as good as you say?”

  Song Cao had a look of recollecting the aftertaste as he said, “More than good! It simply brings back endless aftertastes! Senior Apprentice Brother, I, only drank a mouth, and during this half a month, my whole body has been warm! I don’t even need to use divine essence to ward off the cold with divine fire at all! Delicious plus keeps out the cold, who do you think can resist its allure in this Northernmost Steppe?”
