Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204, page 656
This first point was Ye Yuan's wise and discreet self-preserving move.
The second point, just as Ye Yuan said himself, it was in order to repay the kindness.
It was just that this big gift was a little too heavy.
Once the Essence Cultivating Pill is released, the Myriad Treasure Tower would definitely be able to sweep across Jewelhill City like crushing dead leaves.
And Yang Rui contributing the pill formula to the Myriad Treasure Tower would definitely obtain the upper echelons' substantial rewards.
This favor could not be said to not be big!
Of course, Yang Rui understood that if it was in order to keep discreetly out of harm's way, Ye Yuan could completely not take this pill formula out.
As long as he did not take it out, everything had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.
This way, it was sufficient to see that Ye Yuan was someone who valued relationsh.i.p.s greatly.
He only took out such a bombshell in order to save the Myriad Treasure Tower.
Yang Rui s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said, "Younger Brother Ye, I understand! In the future, we'll address each other as brothers. This favor, Elder Brother, I, received it!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll be haughty and call Brother Yang. Brother Yang, this Essence Cultivating Pill's refinement is rather difficult. If Elder Song has any areas he doesn't understand, you can have him come find me."
Yang Rui nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
Elder Song was the new One-star Alchemy God that upstairs sent.
It was just that after he came, it did not change the Myriad Treasure Tower's predicament at all.
...
"F*ck me, came late again! You bunch of animals, it's also too early, right?"
"The Myriad Treasure Tower is going to release another batch of Essence Cultivating Pill today. Not coming earlier, can't even drink a mouthful of soup."
"Damn it, I'll give you 50 divine essence stones, you give your place to me, how's that?"
"Screw off! Want to buy my place with just 50 divine essence stones? 500, not a single piece fewer! Furthermore, after you buy the Essence Cultivating Pill, you must share with me one, I'll buy at the original price!"
"Go to hell, you!"
...
As soon as the Essence Cultivating Pill rolled out, it was immediately like a tornado, instantly sweeping across the entire Jewelhill City.
The Myriad Treasure Tower's door was almost burst open.
Ye Yuan made use of that half a month's time and refined a large batch of Essence Cultivating Pills.
The rest, he did not care.
In operations, Yang Rui and Su Linpu were clearly much more experienced than him.
The two people formulated a series of promotion tricks, recruiting three groups of martial artists outside to test the pill for free.
In the first batch, quite a number of people harbored doubtful attitudes. Those who really came to test the pill were not many.
But it was precisely after this first batch of people tested the pill, the Essence Cultivating Pill's reputation blew up in one go!
The Essence Cultivating Pill was a brand new kind of medicinal pill. Consuming this medicinal pill the first time, the effects were the most apparent.
Even though everyone doubted the Essence Cultivating Pill's medicinal effects, the people who paid attention were a lot.
After all, the Myriad Treasure Tower already let out the big talk.
But after the few people testing the pill consumed the Essence Cultivating Pill, the results were immediate, their auras surging immensely on the spot.
This kind of effect was absolutely what the Essence Increasing Pill could not attain.
The people who tested the pills were like having picked up a treasure, all incomparably excited.
With this, it stirred up everyone's appetite.
Hence, the slots for the second batch and third batch of pill testing, everyone went crazy.
Someone auctioned it off at a high price when they obtained the slot to test the pills.
It was said that the highest price was auctioned at 10 thousand pieces of low-grade divine essence stones!
After three batches of pill testing, the Myriad Treasure Tower's sales immediately became explosive to the max.
A never-before explosive!
Same price, but medicinal effect was double of the Essence Increasing Pill, who would still go and buy the Essence Increasing Pill?
Hence, not just the Wang Family, inside the Lu Family and Lin Family's shops, it virtually became completely deserted overnight.
Wang Family, everyone all became ants on a hot pan, all going in circles anxiously.
"Elder Xuan, didn't you say that it was absolutely impossible for the Essence Cultivating Pill to exist? Now, we don't have any response measures at all, and are very passive!" Wang Su grumbled.
Wang Xuanfeng's face was also very ugly. Of course, even more, it was an embarrassment.
He said with certainty previously, declaring that it was absolutely impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower to refine whatever Essence Cultivating Pill.
Now, this face was smacked resoundingly loud!
In reality, Wang Su knew that even if the Wang Family responded in advance, facing the Essence Cultivating Pill's powerful offensive, they were still at a complete loss as to what to do.
"This can't blame me either! Do you all know what this Essence Cultivating Pill's appearance means?" Wang Xuanfeng said.
"It means that our Jewelhill City's branch family can't hold on anymore!" Wang Su said crossly
These few decades, in order to challenge the Myriad Treasure Tower, the Wang Family's expenditures were tremendous too.
They were originally planning on dominating Jewelhill City after exhausting the Myriad Treasure Tower to death.
But they did not expect that they did not exhaust the Myriad Treasure Tower to death, but instead, let the Myriad Treasure Tower deal a head-on blow!
This blow was too vicious. It might directly smack them to death.
Wang Xuanfeng smiled coldly and said, "Foolish! Wang Su, your horizons are too shallow! How can you take on major responsibilities in the future? In my view, this Essence Cultivating Pill's appearance is going to affect the entire Heavenspan World! Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure will make use of this medicinal pill to amass countless riches!"
Wang Su smiled coldly and said, "Heh, Elder Su, do you think I haven't considered this point? It's just, do you feel that that boy named Ye Yuan will hand over the pill formula? This pill formula's value simply can't be estimated! Facing such huge profits, who would easily spit it out?"
Wang Xuanfeng froze. He did not think of this layer.
Wang Su looked at Wang Xuanfeng and continued: "Therefore, this kid is digging his own grave! Don't look at how they are rejoicing right now. Before long, that boy and the Myriad Treasure Tower will definitely lose all decorum! When the time comes, heh heh!"
Hearing Wang Su's analysis made Wang Xuanfeng and the rest kindle hope once more.
Wang Yuxiang said, "Then Sir Su's meaning is … we continue to hold, hold until they fall out?"
Wang Su nodded his head and said, "That's right!"
Wang Yuxiang's expression was ugly as he said, "But our Jewelhill City's branch family can't compete with the Myriad Treasure Tower's vast wealth after all. These few years, we've already depleted all of our resources. Continuing to stall, I'm afraid that the Myriad Treasure Tower hasn't fallen, and our Wang Family will collapse first!"
Wang Su had stayed in Jewelhill City for several decades and naturally had an understanding of the Wang Family's financial resources.
He thought about it and said, "These two days, I'll ask for help from the main family, have them support Jewelhill City's branch family! The war is already fought until now, just see who can last longer!"
Chapter 1346 - A Lucky Chance
"Elder Feng, how is it? You refined it?"
The one asking was Wu Meng Capital City's Myriad Treasure Tower's Han Tian. The old man opposite him was the Myriad Treasure Tower's chief alchemist, Three-star Alchemy Master, Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "This old man has cultivated Alchemy Dao for tens of thousands of years. I've never thought that I actually can't even refine a Tier 1 middle-grade divine pill!"
Han Tian's shock was by no means insignificant, and he said, "Failed? This … This isn't possible, right? A mere Tier 1 middle-grade divine pill, even you, this peak Three-star Alchemy God, actually can't refine it?"
Half a month ago, Han Tian received the Essence Cultivating Pill's pill formula that Jewelhill City's Myriad Treasure Tower transported over through back channels.
After receiving Yang Rui's intel, Han Tian immediately realized a huge business opportunity.
Hence, he started mobilizing Wu Meng Capital City's Myriad Treasure Tower's alchemists and started refining the Essence Cultivating Pill according to the pill formula.
But he discovered very quickly that he was too naive!
Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was short on manpower, there were still some Two-star Alchemy Gods.
But among these Two-star Alchemy Gods, there was actually not a single person capable of refining the Essence Cultivating Pill.
In amazement, Han Tian found a Three-star Alchemy God to refine. The result was still the same!
In the end, Han Tian, who was out of options, finally engaged Three-star Alchemy God, Xiao Feng.
But what astonished him was that even Xiao Feng actually failed!
Was this Essence Cultivating Pill so hard to refine?
Xiao Feng let out a sigh and said, "This pill formula seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. If without extremely deep comprehensions toward Alchemy Dao, it's impossible to refine one. This old man … is still lacking some level of attainment."
Actually, he was already very close to success. It was just too bad that no matter what, he could not break through that final checkpoint.
When Han Tian heard these words, he could not help losing heart.
When he just obtained the Essence Cultivating Pill's pill formula, he even thought that he picked up a treasure. But looking at it now, it was purely of little value.
If it could not be refined, what could be done even if this pill formula was any more impressive?
"I didn't expect that it was actually drawing water with a sieve! Sigh …" Han Tian said helplessly.
Xiao Feng thought about it and said, "Tower Lord, I have an idea."
Han Tian said listlessly, "What idea Elder Feng has, feel free to say."
Xiao Feng said, "I wish to make a trip to Jewelhill City!"
Han Tian froze and hurriedly shook his head and said, "This isn't appropriate, right? Elder Feng, your status is exalted. How can you condescend your exalted self to that kind of secular place? You want to meet that guest alchemist called Ye Yuan, right? If you wish to meet, I'll just send people to fetch him here."
To them, Jewelhill City, this sort of place was not worth them heading there at all.
But Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "That's not right, Tower Lord! As it goes: those who reached first can teach. Since that Ye Yuan already refined the Essence Cultivating Pill, it indicates that his understanding of alchemy must be deeper than mine! At least on the refinement of Tier 1 divine pills, I'm inferior to him! This kind of figure is bound to surpass this old man in the future, we should give him adequate courtesy! Such a genius, once employed by our Myriad Treasure Tower, he'll definitely be a pillar of the Myriad Treasure Tower in the future!"
Han Tian thought about it and said with a nod, "Elder Feng's words make sense. Then … I'll have to trouble Elder Feng to make a trip! If possible, you must bring him to Wu Meng Capital City!"
Xiao Feng said, "Huhu, not a trouble at all! I have a feeling that perhaps … this trip is a lucky chance for me."
...
Half a year's time passed in a twinkle since the Myriad Treasure Tower launched the Essence Cultivating Pill.
In this half a year's time, the shops of Wang Family, Lin Family, and Lu Family were all completely devoid of people.
The launch of the Essence Cultivating Pill was a virtually catastrophic blow to them.
The Lin Family and Lu Family were still a little better. But the Wang Family was already spending more than they earned.
The Myriad Treasure Tower and Ye Yuan's split that Wang Su said with certainty, they kept failing to see it.
This half a year's time, Ye Yuan spent it very cozily.
Apart from refining a batch of Essence Cultivating Pill every day, it was cultivating inside the World Suppressing Stele's space, comprehending concepts.
This half a year also made Yang Rui crazy with delight.
The Myriad Treasure Tower could be described with the saying bringing in bushels of gold daily!
Every day, Yang Rui was immersed in the midst of shock.
He had a score in his heart, the divine essence stones that the Myriad Treasure Tower earned in this half a year could virtually be placed in the same category as Brightraise City, that kind of large county.
Finally, the Wang Family could not sit still anymore.
At this time, Wang Su was currently at Jewelhill City's City Lord Manor.
"Huhu, Younger Brother Wang Su, how have you been! I heard that your brother, Wang Song, already broke through to late-stage Heaven Glimpse, right?" City Lord Chen Yongnian said with a laugh.
Wang Su smiled and said, "Brother Chen's intel is very up to date! His breakthrough was also a thing of last year."
Chen Yongnian said with an envious look, "Wang Song's talent is exceedingly high and also has the Wang Family as a backer. Unlike us impoverished people, we have got to be busy with secular affairs every day!"
Wang Su smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you're the lord of a city, wielding great power in your hands. Other people are all too envious!"
Chen Yongnian chuckled and said, "Younger Brother Wang Su coming this time, it's not for no reason, right?"
Wang Su silently cursed this sly old fox, but he still had a smile on his face as he said, "That is, of course, But … the matter of cultivation, Brother Chen doesn't have to worry either. As long as Jewelhill City's Wang Family pulls through this crisis, Brother Chen's cultivation will be covered by Elder Yuxiang, don't … you agree?"
Wang Yuxiang by the side hurriedly said, "That is, of course! In the past, it was our Wang Family who couldn't do it. We hope that City Lord, Your Excellency, is magnanimous enough to forgive us. This time, our Wang Family prepared a slight gift, just take it as an apology."
Wang Yuxiang's heart was dripping blood. Even if the Wang Family tides over this disaster, the largest share of their income in the future would probably have to be used to pay tributes.
Wang Su, Wang Xuanfeng, and now, throwing in another Chen Yongnian, this expenditure was too great.
Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artists were still a little better. But Wang Xuanfeng and Chen Yongnian were both Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm martial artists.
Their expenditure, to the Wang Family, the pressure was still huge.
But compared to the Wang Family collapsing entirely, clearly this result, he could still accept.
All of this was brought by Ye Yuan that punk.
Wang Yuxiang had long hated Ye Yuan to the bones in his heart.
This Chen Yongnian was Wu Meng Academy's same-year students with Wang Su's elder brother, Wang Song.
Wu Meng Academy was Wu Meng Capital City's government-managed school.
The students that graduated from here were mostly dukes or princes of a region, representing the various major counties managed by Wu Meng Capital City.
After the two people came out of Wu Meng Academy, one came to the remote Jewelhill City to be city lord, while the other became deputy city lord at Brightraise City.
Although one was head and one was deputy, because the cities were different, their statuses were naturally different too.
Wang Song, this deputy city lord, had a higher position and more authority compared to Chen Yongnian, this city lord.
Furthermore, Wang Song broke through to the late-stage Heaven Glimpse first. Later on, he might even be placed in an important position in Wu Meng Capital City.
To talk about this Chen Yongnian, he was also an extremely shrewd and wily old fox.
The Myriad Treasure Tower and Wang Family's struggle, he naturally took it into his sights. But bade his time all along, waiting for the Wang Family to come and find him.
Now, the Wang Family indeed could not hold on anymore.
Even though he was the city lord, the various major families' taxes, he had to turn it over to higher authorities. The City Lord Manor still had enormous expenditures. What he could have from the leftover was naturally not much.
Hence, that was why he would use this kind of method to make the Wang Family take the initiative to pay tributes to him.
These were filling his own pockets.
"Huhu, Elder Yuxiang is too courteous. You all coming to find this city lord this time, is it because of the Myriad Treasure Tower's matters?" Only now did Chen Yongnian lay his cards on the table.
Chapter 1347 - You Don't Say, How Would I Know?
"A banquet with hidden dangers! Ye Yuan, this banquet, you mustn't go!" Yang Rui said solemnly.
At this time, Yang Rui and Ye Yuan both received an invitation in their hands.
These two invitations were issued by City Lord Manor.
The four families fought for so long, City Lord Manor had always remained silent.
This time, they were finally making a move.
It was just that Ye Yuan received an invitation too. This made Yang Rui very uneasy.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just go. Why shouldn't I go? They are aiming at the Essence Cultivating Pill. If I don't go, this matter will probably never end."
Yang Rui naturally knew that they were aiming at the Essence Cultivating Pill. But if Ye Yuan went, he felt uneasy.
