As Ye Wushuang accepted the challenge, Mu Qiqi’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. As a second-rank spiritual pill master, she was already a favored child of heaven within the Qingyun Pavilion’s headquarters. When it came to pill crafting, no one could match her at her level. Testing Ye Wushuang would be as easy as pie.
Mu Qiqi directly asked, “Let me ask you this: what are the types of ingredients for the Blood-Quenching Pill, their respective effects, and what is the core of refining this pill?”
“Jade Marrow Mushroom, Purple Monkey Flower, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit—these three ingredients are the main components of the Blood-Quenching Pill. The Jade Marrow Mushroom has a mild nature and serves to neutralize the effects of the other ingredients. The Purple Monkey Flower is potent and can enhance the quality of a martial artist’s blood and energy. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit, being cold in nature, helps to reduce the restlessness caused by impurities in the blood and energy. Together, these three ingredients can form a pill,” Ye Wushuang explained confidently. “However, the core of the Blood-Quenching Pill does not lie in these three main ingredients, but in the auxiliary ingredient, the Rainbow Dance Grass.”
“The Rainbow Dance Grass, which looks like a dancing woman, when integrated into the pill, can enhance the function of the Blood-Quenching Pill by threefold. It is the core,” he continued.
Qing Shiyu seemed to understand a bit, while Mu Qiqi, standing with her hands behind her back, lightly acknowledged, “You got it right.”
Ye Feifei quickly interjected, “Beautiful sister, what do you mean by ‘got it right’? It’s either right or wrong!”
Hearing the term “beautiful sister,” Mu Qiqi felt inexplicably delighted and smiled, “Your brother answered correctly!”
Ye Feifei beamed sweetly.
Mu Qiqi then asked another question, “Tell me about the refining technique of the Clear Void Pill.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang inwardly sighed. Such questions were too simple and uninteresting to him. However, seeing his sister’s admiring gaze, he coughed and began to explain, “The Clear Void Pill is a pill that helps maintain the mental tranquility of martial artists in the body-refining stage. It does not enhance their realm. The key to refining this pill is to focus on…”
After a lengthy and detailed answer, Mu Qiqi’s eyes shone even brighter. She realized that Ye Wushuang indeed had a deep understanding of ordinary pills.
“Do you specialize in refining spiritual pills?” she asked.
Ye Wushuang replied, “Miss Mu, you can ask me anything. If I can’t answer, it means my pill craft is not refined enough. However… only three questions, please.”
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s growing impatience, Mu Qiqi huffed, “You said it.”
“What are the effects of the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, and what is its core refining technique?”
“How can one determine the quality of the Qi-Dividing Pill?”
“How should one take the Three Pure Ones Pill to maximize its effects?”
She fired off three questions in one breath, and Ye Wushuang answered each one fluently.
Still not satisfied, Mu Qiqi continued, “How many methods are there for refining the Qi-Condensing Pill?”
“There are seven methods, each requiring different ingredients, but all need an herb called Ye Xin Grass…” Ye Wushuang answered without hesitation.
The Q&A session continued, and soon they had gone through more than a dozen questions. Qing Shihua, though not knowledgeable in pill crafting, gradually realized that Mu Qiqi’s questions had escalated from ordinary pills to first-rank spiritual pills and were now approaching second-rank spiritual pills. This was no longer a test; it was more like an exchange of skills.
Finally, Mu Qiqi thought of a question that even Old Master Cheng had been unable to solve.
“Ye Wushuang, let me ask you one more thing. The core ingredients for the Spirit-Fortress Heaven Pill are the Seven-Star Grass, Dragon Spirit Fruit, and Jade Spirit Liquid. However, attempts to refine this pill always fail. Why is that?” Mu Qiqi stared intently at Ye Wushuang as she posed the question.
