Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204, page 819
Ning Tianping said in a great rage, "All of you shut up for me! Good-for-nothing? Can't break through to the Divine Lord Realm? Talking bullshit here, you guys don't ask His Excellency for pills in the future if you have the capabilities! Let me tell you guys, His Excellency is already very disappointed toward the Ning Family. Are you fools going to push the Ning Family into an abyss beyond redemption?"
The moment one of the extremely senior clan elders heard, he immediately exploded, pointing at Ning Tianping and scolding angrily: "L-Little bastard, you dare to speak to us like this? Rebelling! Rebelling! Family Head, you take a look, this little bastard went out for a trip and really became lawless and unbridled! That trash can't even break through to the Divine Lord Realm! Could it be that this old man still needs to go and beg him for pills?"
However, Ning Zhiyuan ignored him, but looked at Ning Tianping and asked with a suspicious look, "Tianping, what's the … meaning of your words?"
Ning Tianping smiled coldly and said, "What meaning? Not only did His Excellency broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, but his growth in these several decades is also beyond your imaginations! Family Head, Tianping isn't showing disregard for my elders. It's really that I feel heartache and headache! If back then, you fervently supported His Excellency back then during the elders meeting, right now absolutely won't be this kind of situation! Our Ning Family would become Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's number one great clan! But now … sigh!"
Ning Zhiyuan's gaze turned intent and he said in shock, "What did you say? Ye Yuan he … he really broke through? That's impossible! Back then, he even consumed the Vastsun Universe Pill, but he didn't even reach half-step Divine Lord Realm, how can he possibly broke through to the Divine Lord Realm?"
Ning Tianping gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance and could not resist sighing quietly.
Ning Zhiyuan was deeply pricked by Ning Tianping's look as if a thorn pierced into his heart.
Chapter 1683 - Bullying to the Doorstep
Ye Yuan entered the city very low-profiled, without drawing anyone's attention. He came straight to Zheng Qi's residence.
"Who is it, halt! Mn? You … You're Elder Ye Yuan!" The guard's gaze turned intent, recognizing Ye Yuan.
"Oh? You know me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
The guard smiled and said, "Elder Ye must be joking. In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, who doesn't know you!"
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, everyone knows that I'm a good-for-nothing!"
The guard's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Elder Ye, no matter what others say, our Zheng Manor from top to bottom, not a single person dares to be disrespectful toward you, including this lowly one! Head Elder had once said that his life was saved by you. If anybody dares to speak impertinently about you, if minor, they will be chased out of the Zheng Manor. If severe, directly flogged to death!"
Ye Yuan did not expect that Zheng Qi actually used this kind of method to block everyone's mouth. But the emphasis on loyalty and friendship could be seen as well.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "How is Head Elder's body?"
The guard let out a sigh when he heard that and said, "Sigh, Head Elder's body is getting worse each day. Head Elder Xuan Yu tried everything. But he is also unable to salvage the situation. Right now, Head Elder is already unable to get out of bed."
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed slightly and he said, "What's going on?"
Before Ye Yuan left, he specially checked Zheng Qi's body before. It was not to the extent of not being able to get out of bed so quickly.
Listening to the guard talk about the sequence of events, the rage in Ye Yuan's heart started blazing fiercely.
It turned out that after a Celestial Deity powerhouse of Utmost Peace Imperial City came out of seclusion and got to know the news of Gao Yuan's demise, he came to visit.
That Celestial Deity powerhouse came to find trouble with Ye Yuan and Zheng Qi two people.
Who knew that only after reaching the city did he know that Ye Yuan already left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
A Celestial Deity powerhouse arriving in person, this kind of thing naturally could not be brushed off lightly.
Utmost Peace Imperial City's strength was much stronger than Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. They had four Celestial Deity powerhouses, while Heavenly Eagle Imperial City only had two.
After that Celestial Deity powerhouse came, he asked Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to sentence Ye Yuan to death with a domineering attitude and to hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.
Additionally, he even wanted Gao Yuan's disciple to challenge Zheng Qi, saying that it was to take revenge for his master.
This situation followed the same pattern as Zheng Qi back then.
It was just that Gao Yuan this person was insidious and cunning, schemed to harm fellow daoists. It was beneath contempt.
Now, this move was purely nonsensical.
How could Zheng Qi's physical condition at that time be able to withstand a great battle?
However, Zheng Qi argued strongly on his point of view back then, saying that the Fiend Calling Ridge battle, killing Gao Yuan was his doing alone, and had nothing to do with Ye Yuan!
Moreover, he accepted the challenge.
And the result of the challenge naturally went without saying.
Zheng Qi was beaten to serious injuries by Gao Yuan's pupil. Right now, he was only left with half a life.
Ye Yuan burned with rage when he heard this. The aura of Divine Vortex Realm unconsciously exuded out as he said in a cold voice, "What take revenge? It's simply aiming for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, right?!"
That guard was merely Origin Deity Realm. Suddenly seeing the powerful pressure than Ye Yuan released, it crushed him until his face turned pale.
The guard was shocked inwardly, only now realizing in shock that Ye Yuan seemed to no longer be at the Origin Deity Realm anymore!
This aura was absolutely Divine Lord Realm!
Elder Ye actually really broke through?
Ye Yuan suddenly realized the guard's awkward state, restrained the aura on his body, and said coolly, "You go and notify them, just say that I'm back."
The guard hurriedly said, "Elder Ye must be joking. Head Elder is at the courtyard. Head Elder Xuan Yu and Head Elder Coldfeather are both there, please!"
Ye Yuan nodded and casually fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to the other party, saying, "Thanks for the hard work, this is for you."
The guard received the medicinal pill and could not help being wildly ecstatic.
Void mystic divine pill!
Elder Ye's void mystic divine pill was hard to request for. Now, it was actually bestowed on him.
"Many thanks, Elder Ye!"
...
In a courtyard, Coldfeather and Xuan Yu two people looked at the Zheng Qi lying on the bed, frowning heavily.
Zheng Qi's aura was weak. Clearly, he was on the verge of dying.
But his face did not have too much regret. On the contrary, he seemed very open-minded.
"Grandmaster, Brother Xuan Yu, you guys don't have to be like this. Back then, when Master's great enmity was avenged, my long-cherished wish in this lifetime is also considered fulfilled. Living for these additional few years is already a profit," Zheng Qi gasped for air as he said, seeming very strained.
Xuan Yu had a look of self-blame as he said, "It's all this old man who is incapable. If Ye Yuan he can break through to Divine Lord Realm, he can definitely save you! Sigh!"
Upon mentioning Ye Yuan, Coldfeather flared up with anger and said with a cold snort, "That bunch of fools actually said that Wen Yilin was provoked by Ye Yuan! All of them don't have the capability but still want to push the responsibility onto others, truly the act of a scoundrel to the extreme."
Xuan Yu sighed and said, "This bunch of guys has always been like this, unable to take on responsibility at all."
"Huhu, when Ye Yuan breaks through and returns, I'm very much looking forward to how this bunch of people will look like! It's too bad that … I can't see it!" Zheng Qi sighed and said.
To talk about his only regret, that was not being able to see Ye Yuan breakthrough.
Everyone had a score in their hearts, Ye Yuan going out this time probably would not be able to come back within a short time.
The opportunity to break through was not that easy to find.
It was just that they never dreamed that Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm, actually dared to go to the Heavenspan Mountain!
"Who says that you can't see it? Not only can you see it, but you can also even teach them a lesson one by one!"
Hearing the voice first before seeing the person!
This voice, Xuan Yu three people were too familiar. Indeed, looking outside the door, they saw a young man walk in with large strides. Who was it if not Ye Yuan?
"Ye Yuan, you … you actually came back so quickly?" Xuan Yu said in pleasant surprise.
But Coldfeather's expression changed and he said suspiciously, "You … You broke through?"
Although Ye Yuan's aura became much stronger, it gave him a feeling of inscrutability, leaving him somewhat uncertain.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not breaking through, how would I dare come back? The feeling of being scolded trash while having my nose pointed doesn't feel good!"
When the three people heard, they all burst into laughter.
Coldfeather laughed hard and said, "Like I said, how can a mere Divine Lord Realm possibly stump you? That bunch of fools, see what they still have to say this time! I'm really looking forward to their reaction right now!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Let's make idle talk again later. I'll take a look at Head Elder Zheng first."
Zheng Qi was feeble and weak, but seeing that Ye Yuan broke through, he was extremely overjoyed too, his entire person's state becoming much better.
Ye Yuan investigated Zheng Qi's physical condition and his brows could not help furrowing as he said with a cold snort, "What an insidious thing!"
Ye Yuan detected that inside Zheng Qi's body, there was a stream of gentle Yin energy constantly whittling away Zheng Qi's life force, hastening his death.
Clearly, this was intentional by the other party!
Xuan Yu sighed and said, "Even though that Yang Fan's talent doesn't match up to Younger Brother Zheng, his strength indeed can't be underestimated. This gentle Yin force, this old man expended a Herculean effort and was also unable to purge it. I can only helplessly watch Younger Brother Zheng suffer away."
Zheng Qi smiled when he heard that and said, "Brother Xuan Yu doesn't need to blame yourself. This old man knows that you've already done your best."
Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Brother Zheng's medicinal pill, originally, I've already prepared it. It's just that I didn't expect that his situation is actually so serious. You guys wait for a moment, wait for this Ye to go and refine another medicinal pill!"
Chapter 1684 - Medicinal Pill Unusual Change
After Ye Yuan left, Coldfeather said with an astonished look, "This … He should have just broken through not long ago, right? He's already able to refine such a high level of difficulty medicinal pill?"
Xuan Yu mused for a moment and said, "The power of Dao Realm is not what the likes of us can surmise. To us, we're still stuck at the shallow realm of seeing a mountain as a mountain. He has likely already reached the realm of seeing a mountain as not a mountain! What he came into contact with is the source of Alchemy Dao. Learning yields twice the result with half the effort. It is far from what the likes of us can imagine."
Coldfeather was completely clueless about Alchemy Dao, but he knew Xuan Yu's strength.
Xuan Yu saying this showed that Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao boundary was already unimaginable.
He suddenly thought of something and said to Xuan Yu, "Did you feel that this kid's realm is somewhat difficult to ascertain? It doesn't seem as simple as a first-layered heaven Divine Lord!"
Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Seeing him just now felt like he was completely reborn anew. Moreover, I couldn't see through his actual situation. It seems like a first-layered heaven Divine Lord, but at the same time it is not!"
Coldfeather drew a deep breath and said, "I have a feeling that this kid's accomplishments in the future, we probably can't imagine it!"
Xuan Yu nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too.
After several hours, Ye Yuan came out of seclusion.
Ye Yuan handed over two medicinal pills, seeming slightly tired as he said, "This is the Pure Yang Strong Divine Pill and Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill. Let Brother Zheng consume it."
Clearly, these two medicinal pills were not easy for the current him.
The Pure Yang Strong Divine Pill's effect was to purge the Yin energy within the body, while the Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill's effect was to nourish the blood and vitality, recovering one's energy.
Zheng Qi used the Crazed Sword Evanescent, the vital essence within his body had long been emptied out already. It was very hard for ordinary medicinal pills to replenish it.
Hence, that was why Xuan Yu had always been at a loss on what to do. Because he could not refine a high-grade Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill.
When Xuan Yu saw the two medicinal pills, his entire body involuntarily shuddered and he said in surprise, "D-Divine-grade! You just broke through and can actually already refine these two medicinal pills to divine-grade. This is truly inconceivable!"
These two medicinal pills were not simply. It was difficult for Xuan Yu to even refine superior-grade pills. Ye Yuan just broke through to rank four and could actually refine divine-grade already. It was not up to him to not be surprised.
This also showed that after breaking through to rank four, Ye Yuan's pill refining standard already surpassed him in all aspects!
Right now, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's Alchemy Dao's number one person also officially changed hands!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Xuan Yu, I wasn't just thinking about how to break through in these close to 400 years' time! Rank four medicinal pills, I've long become thoroughly familiar with them. What was missing was just the level of attainment."
Xuan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, it's also sufficiently astonishing!"
400 years?
Xuan Yu already immersed in rank four medicinal pills for more than 40 thousand years. Ye Yuan only used 400 years and already completely defeated him.
This … was perhaps the disparity between mortals and geniuses, right?
But Xuan Yu did not have the thought of being jealous of Ye Yuan but felt happy for him instead.
The current Ye Yuan truly held extraordinary meaning to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already.
Ye Yuan said, "Brother Coldfeather, Brother Zheng's body is empty and already can't refine medicinal pills himself. You go and help him refine the medicinal pills."
Coldfeather nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take him there straight away."
After the two people left, Ye Yuan was just about to go into seclusion to recover his divine essence when someone outside came to report that the Ning Family's Ning Zhiyuan was requesting an audience.
The moment Xuan Yu heard, he could not help sneering as he said, "Heh, really materialistic! Back then, when you weren't able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, he dropped a rock down the well at the elders meeting. Now, when he heard that you broke through, he's the first one to come to find you!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just the way the world works! You go and tell him, just say that I'm currently helping Head Elder Zheng Qi refine pills and isn't free to meet guests."
The servant did not dare to disobey and could only back down.
These two were both big shots that could not be offended!
...
Outside the Zheng Manor's front door, Ning Zhiyuan's expression was somewhat ugly.
He was the head of the Ning Family, an eighth-layered heaven Divine lord powerhouses. Now, he was actually turned down at the door!
"Oh, Tianping, this kid is also a little too arrogant, right? This family head already came to seek an audience in person, he actually isn't even meeting!" Ning Zhiyuan said with a frown.
Ning Tianping gave him a glance and said with a sigh, "Family Head, it's not that I'm lifting His Excellency up. Ever since he stepped into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's gates again, this is already an era that belongs to him! His alchemy strength, I believe that you're very clear. As long as he's willing, he can groom a small family clan to become a leviathan like the Ning Family within a few hundred years! Do you think he has the capital to be arrogant or not?"
Ning Zhiyuan could not help choking when he heard that and was indeed incredibly regretful in his heart.
He, this family head, was actually not even as far-sighted as a junior.
The return of Ning Tianping's investment in Ye Yuan would be unimaginable!
Ning Zhiyuan already knew that the cultivation method Ning Tianping was currently cultivating was no longer the Ning Family's cultivation method anymore. It was a peak rank six cultivation method!
And this lucky chance, Ye Yuan turned his nose up at it, giving it to Ning Tianping with both hands.
This matter was top secret, Ning Tianping only told Ning Zhiyuan alone.
What kind of concept was a peak rank six cultivation method?
That was a cultivation method that could cultivate all the way to peak True God!
With Ning Tianping's talent, cultivating to Celestial Deity Realm was simply like playing around.
Pausing for a bit, Ning Zhiyuan eased up his tone and said to Ning Tianping, "Oh, Tianping, you're currently the closest person to Ye Yuan. Why don't … you help put in a good word for the Ning Family? Let him not hate the Ning Family anymore, alright?"
Ning Tianping smiled bitterly and said, "Family Head, not that I'm not willing to speak up for the Ning Family. His Excellency this person, you don't understand. He has his own very firm set of views and clearly distinguishes kindness and hatred! As long as it's a person that he acknowledges, he can put his life on the line under any circ.u.mstances and won't ever hesitate. But if it's somebody that he doesn't acknowledge, even if you wear your tongue out, it's useless too! If the Ning Family wants to reconcile with His Excellency, Family Head, please show your sincerity. As long as His Excellency is willing to let the past misdeeds become bygones, on the account of my face, he'll more or less take care of the Ning Family a little. But Family Head, not that I'm exaggerating things to raise an alarm, this is also the last chance!"
