Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

by Feng Yise

  Look at what this punk was wearing. One look and they could tell that he came from the countryside. What kind of background could he have?

  At most, his natural talent was a little better, and his cultivation was a little quicker.

  "Refining a lifetime of medicinal pills. That's also a blissful thing. Except . . . I still have other things I need to do," Ye Yuan said with a rather emotional sigh.

  Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan's lifelong aspiration was to refine medicinal pills for life. But the god of destiny makes fools out of people. Now that he had transmigrated, he had no choice but to pursue the paramount of Martial Path to avenge his old hatred.

  Xiao Ruyan could not help being very puzzled when she saw Ye Yuan's somewhat desolate eyes. How old was this young man? Why did it seem like he had experienced countless vicissitudes of life?

  But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, Xiao Ruyan refused to believe it no matter what.

  It was true that this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill was a Tier 3 high-rank medicinal pill, but barely any Alchemy Grandmasters could refine it.

  Even her own success rate was just 50%. This youth looked like he was even a few years younger than her. How could he possibly succeed?

  Xiao Ruyan merely had a momentary burst of anger just now. For this youth to have middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force, his potential was limitless.

  No matter what, the Xiao Family had to retain him. Perhaps in the not too distant future, an extremely powerful Alchemy Grandmaster might appear in the Xiao Family.

  "Enough crap. We're still waiting to see how you refine the pill. Our skills are lacking, so we need to learn well!" Qiu Zhi said sarcastically.

  Chapter 368 - This Is Flaunting Skill

  Xiao Ruyan furrowed her eyebrows but did not say anything.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "One needs comprehension abilities to learn things. Your talent is too poor; you can't learn anything."

  Qiu Zhi's face darkened. "Smile; I hope that you can still smile in a while! When you can't refine it, just wait to be a pill slave for the rest of your life then!"

  Ye Yuan could not be inclined to bother with him. He went to the medicinal cauldron's side.

  Instantaneously, the aura on Ye Yuan's body changed abruptly!

  Earlier, there was still some profligate juvenile aura. But now, it was as deep as the sea, as if everything in the outside world no longer had anything to do with him.

  Clearly not standing far from him, but it seemed to be two different worlds!

  Xiao Ruyan's expression involuntarily changed and immediately put away her belittling heart.

  When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance! Xiao Ruyan touched her heart and asked herself when she refined pills, she could not reach Ye Yuan's degree of focus either!

  Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not carry out meditation but directly refined the pill. Such ability, among ten thousand alchemists, there might not even necessarily be one.

  Xiao Ruyan waved her hand to motion for everyone to move back and not disturb Ye Yuan's pill refinement.

  Ye Yuan grabbed with one hand. A bundle of flames flew up from the bottom of the furnace, enveloping the entire medicinal cauldron!

  Immediately after, he formed seals with both hands. The temperature of the flames was rapidly rising.

  "Tch! Pretending to be profound! This level of fire controlling skill is also just a little nice to look at only," Qiu Zhi said disdainfully.

  "Yeah. Just showing off his skill. Pleasant to the eyes but of no use at all!" Another person concurred.

  They naturally would not remember that, as a matter of fact, they were also showing off their skills earlier. It was just that they did not parade for long before they could not sustain it anymore.

  And Ye Yuan was already very restrained currently. If he really showed off his skills, even he would be frightened.

  "Keep your mouth shut if you don't understand! Use your soul force to take a look. The surrounding temperature around the medicinal cauldron is all exactly the same. This lets the medicinal pill receive heat extremely uniform! When refining a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, the most important thing is uniform heating!"

  When Xiao Ruyan spoke up, the rest naturally shut their mouths sensibly.

  And Xiao Ruyan herself was also extremely surprised. Could it be that this Ji Qing had refined Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pills before? Otherwise, how could he possibly know this crucial aspect?

  Was it just a coincidence?

  As they were talking, Ye Yuan already completed the heating. Gesturing with one hand, the medicinal embryo flew into the medicinal cauldron.

  Next, the dazzling display of technique that made everyone feel dizzy officially began!

  One seal after another was fired into the medicinal cauldron non-stop. Ye Yuan's hands were like phantoms, intoxicating the people watching it.

  Even Qiu Zhi and the others who had been displeased with Ye Yuan all along was also spell bounded by Ye Yuan for a moment and kept their mouths shut.

  This was still Ye Yuan not wishing to be overly conspicuous, so he did not enter the Legendary Realm. Or else, it would not be as simple as flaunting his technique.

  15 minutes passed in a flash. Only to see Ye Yuan lightly cry out, "condense."

  The pill was formed!

  Only at this time did everyone feel as if they woke up from a dream.

  Manager Tong's strength was the greatest and recovered from his stupor first. He murmured under his breath, "This is a genuinely a pompous display of one's skill!"

  Qiu Zhi and the rest also recovered and could not help flushing crimson red.

  Apart from Ye Yuan's realm being inferior to theirs, his other aspects were way stronger than them!

  Ye Yuan sniggered and said, "Just nice, around 15 minutes! Inspect the pill then, Miss Ruyan!"

  Xiao Ruyan took in a deep breath and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. She was astonished.

  "This is a Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pill. You're actually not the least bit debilitated after finish refining it?"

  When Xiao Ruyan herself refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, every time she finished the refinement, it would be a little more than she could stand. Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was perfectly fine!

  Xiao Ruyan sensed it very clearly just now. Ye Yuan had only just broken through to the middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!

  Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Still alright. As long as the control is a little more precise, you don't need to expend so much soul force."

  Everyone felt depressed. How precise did one's control have to be to be able to expend so little soul force!

  Earlier, when he finished the refinement, Qiu Zhi felt like he was on the verge of collapsing. He was a veteran high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, and it was more than he could bear. Ye Yuan, a newly advanced middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, could actually do it to such an extent?

  A little more precise? How much was this little more?

  Qiu Zhi felt like he had no more face to stay on. But he was still rather unwilling to give up. He wanted to see if Ye Yuan really refined out a medicinal pill.

  Qiu Zhi plucked up his courage and opened his mouth, "Who knows if you're deliberately kicking up a cloud of dust? Or maybe, you wasted the pill long ago!"

  Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I knew that you wouldn't turn back without hitting the South Wall."

  "Open!"

  Ye Yuan pointed a finger. A medicinal pill flew out of the medicinal cauldron on its own and landed on the jade dish.

  Everyone rushed to look at that medicinal pill. With a single look, it caused them to involuntarily drew a cold breath.

  "H-High-grade medicinal pill!" Qiu Zhi could hardly believe it.

  Xiao Ruyan's beautiful eyes also became intent, and she stared at Ye Yuan rather incredulously.

  She could refine out a high-grade Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, but the success rate was too low.
Majority of the time, it was all middle-grade. When she performed below her usual standards, it would be low-grade pills.

  She never thought that this young man's first refinement was actually directly a high-grade medicinal pill.

  "You . . . You must have cheated!" Qiu Zhi pointed at Ye Yuan and said.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop disgracing yourself here. Quickly get lost! Entering the Grand Pill Assembly with this standard of yours is no longer a matter of losing. It's directly throwing away all faces of the Xiao Family members!"

  Xiao Ruyan's patience was utterly worn out too. She said sombrely, "Scram for me! Lacking strength and still reproaching others! So many pairs of eyes were looking. Pray tell then, how did he cheat?"

  Qiu Zhi was so furious that his complexion turned green. He said with a cold snort, "Go, then go! This place doesn't want to keep this Lord, there will naturally be a place to hold this Lord! Harrumph!"

  Finished talking, Qiu Zhi flicked his sleeves and left.

  Manager Tong's face fell, but he looked towards Xiao Ruyan, clearly seeking her opinion on whether to take care of this fellow or not.

  He only dropped it when he saw Xiao Ruyan shake her head slightly.

  Only after Qiu Zhi and the other three people left, Manager Tong asked, "Those few people were so high and mighty. Why did Miss let them leave?"

  Xiao Ruyan let out a sigh and said, "If it were in the past, how could I tolerate them being so arrogant? How could they dare to be stuck-up in front of me? It's just that they were publicly recruited by us. If a mishap happened to them in our place here, it would be even harder for this Four Seas Building to sustain."

  Manager Tong also sighed faintly when he heard that and did not say any more.

  Ye Yuan also made out some things by the side. The Xiao Family's present situation seemed to be very bad. They actually did not even dare to offend these alchemists without backgrounds.

  Logically speaking, although a large family like the Xiao Family was not a pinnacle faction in the capital, wanting to take care of a few alchemists without backgrounds was still a piece of cake.

  But all these were not what he could bother about. His goal was to figure out who those two slaves were.

  At this time, Xiao Ruyan broke away from her pessimistic mood and returned to Ye Yuan once again.

  "Mister Ji, if my conjectures are correct, you should have refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill before in the past, right?" Xiao Ruyan asked Ye Yuan with glittering eyes.

  Chapter 369 - Xiao Family Guest Retainer

  "Ha! Of course I've refined it before. Such a simple medicinal pill." Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hiding it.

  To Ye Yuan, this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill was indeed simple. The truly heaven-defying difficulty level Tier 3 medicinal pill were countless times more complicated than this!

  Except, Xiao Ruyan had an impulse to cough blood when she heard these words.

  "Mister Ji, can you enlighten Ruyan who you learned from?" Xiao Ruyan asked dejectedly.

  "Hehe, my master is just country folk. Miss Ruyan has definitely never heard the name before. Moreover, before I left, Master severely warned me not to use his name."

  Ye Yuan pulled out another master. This move was the best. The Fierce Gale World was so huge. Could Xiao Ruyan really dig his master out?

  But Xiao Ruyan was not someone who was so easy to dupe. She interrogated again, "Since you're not willing to say, I won't force you either. But how do you make me believe that you're not somebody sent by the Tong Family?"

  "This . . . I really have no way of proving it," Ye Yuan said helplessly.

  "That means that there's a possibility that the Tong Family sent you here?" Xiao Ruyan stared fixedly at Ye Yuan's eyes, wanting to see if he was telling lies.

  Ye Yuan naturally had a composed look as he said with a smile, "I think that if the Tong Family wanted to do something, they wouldn't be foolish enough to send an expert like me over, right? Just based on those dregs that you were recruiting just now, wouldn't they winning you be as easy as turning over their hands?"

  "Urgh . . ." Xiao Ruyan was rendered speechless.

  Yeah, the Tong Family completely did not need to do anything now and was already sure to win this Grand Pill Assembly.

  Sending over one Ye Yuan to be a spy now was simply something superfluous.

  An alchemist that could refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill so casually was not some common good.

  At this time, Manager Tong moved close to Xiao Ruyan and said, "Second Miss, that's the logic. Furthermore, there are only three days before the Grand Pill Assembly takes place. We have no other alternatives either. Even if he really is a spy, we can only use him!"

  Xiao Ruyan sighed and gave a limpid bow, saying, "Alright then, Mister Ji. From today onwards, you're Xiao Family's guest retainer alchemist. I hope that Mister Ji can go all out to help my Xiao Family win this match. As long as Mister Ji can win a match, my Xiao Family is willing to pay any price!"

  "For real? Does this any price include Miss Ruyan?" Ye Yuan's eyebrows raised up.

  Once these words came out, two killing intents instantly locked onto Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan hastily chuckled and said, "Hahaha! Just making a joke, just making a joke! Don't take it seriously, Miss Ruyan."

  "Humph! This sort of joke, I advise that you better not make them next time, so as to avoid you losing your small life! I still have things to do so I'll head back to the Xiao Family first! About Mister Ji's matters, Manager Tong, you arrange it." Xiao Ruyan then left without even turning her head back.

  Ye Yuan involuntarily stuck out his tongue. Cracking this kind of joke with women would indeed suffer a disastrous catastrophe!

  Manager Tong saw the situation and used his finger to poke Ye Yuan, "Oh you, what kind of joke did you have to crack? Why did you have to crack one with Second Miss? You're already considered lucky that she didn't kill you on the spot!"

  Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Oh, right, isn't Miss Xiao Ruyan hosting a martial competition to find a spouse? What's with that?"

  Manager Tong sighed heavily and said, "Sigh, Second Miss, she . . . has a bitter life! Spouse finding martial competition is also Xiao Family's action that could not be helped. Truthfully, within this capital, how can it just be the two Huang and Xue Families that are coveting Second Miss's beauty?"

  Since Ye Yuan already became Xiao Family's guest retainer, Manager Tong naturally did not have anything much to hide from him. He briefly introduced the Xiao Family's matters to Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after he heard it.

  As a second-rate family, the Xiao Family's and Tong Family's strength had always been equally matched. In so many years of Grand Pill Assemblies, both sides had victories and defeat.

  But this sort of equilibrium situation was utterly shattered 30 years ago.

  30 years ago, the Tong Family's Alchemy Path strength suddenly skyrocketed. Quite a number of top geniuses appeared in the junior generation in succession, winning the Grand Pill Assembly in one fell swoop!

  According to the agreement, the Xiao Family must hand over 50% of the medicinal pill market after defeat!

  This Grand Pill Assembly was actually the deciding factor on how many shares the two Xiao and Tong families occupied in the medicinal pill market. The victor occupied 70% of the medicinal pill market, while the loser only had 20%. The remaining 10% was allocated to the other small factions.

  For so many years, the two families had always been well-matched in strength. When one side lost, they would think of any way possible to win back too. Hence, it would practically replace once every ten years.

  But since 30 years ago, the Xiao Family had never won a match before, consecutively losing three periods!

  This year's match was the fourth period. If the Xiao Family lost again, they could basically announce their withdrawal from the medicinal pill market.

  The Xiao Family was obvious
ly unresigned to continuous defeats. These ten years, they piled virtually all of their resources on Xiao Rufeng and Xiao Ruyan.

  These two people did not let them down either. Especially Xiao Ruyan, who cultivated to the realm of a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at a young age!

  But there were unforeseen storms in nature. A while back, when Xiao Rufeng entered closed-seclusion, wanting to break through to the Soul Sea Realm in one stroke and to become a Quasi-Alchemy King, his breakthrough failed; he suffered a backlash!

  Now, Xiao Rufeng was bedridden with severe injuries and simply could not recover for the Grand Pill Assembly in three days' time.

  Compelled against their will, the Xiao Family invited Qiu Zhi and the rest over.

  The medicinal pills refined at the Grand Pill Assembly were basically all Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill difficulty level. Qiu Zhi and the rest could not even refine the prepared medicinal embryos. At the Grand Pill Assembly, they would only serve as a stopgap.

  Xiao Ruyan was also very disheartened earlier behind the partition. Who would have expected Ye Yuan's appearance would actually make her eyes light up.

  As for the spouse finding martial competition, it was also because the Xiao Family's strength was weak. The Xiao Family had to consolidate their position through means of uniting in marriage.

  If the Xiao Family really lost the Grand Pill Assembly, they had to find a way out for themselves in advance.

  Except, the Xiao Family could not afford to offend either one of the Huang and Xue families. So, they could only use this kind of spouse finding martial competition method to determine who Xiao Ruyan belonged to.

  Speaking of that, Xiao Ruyan was a pitiful person.

  Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly after hearing the Xiao Family's story.

  "Therefore, regardless where Mister Ji come from, please put your best effort forward and help the Xiao Family win the match! This old man is forever indebted!" Manager Tong said, giving Ye Yuan a deep bow.

  Ye Yuan hurriedly went to help him up and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a Grand Pill Assembly? A piece of cake! Forget about one match, even three matches is not an issue! Ah, right, can I take on three matches by myself? This way, the Tong Family will lose for sure!"
