In the following days, Ye Wushuang spent his daytime sparring with Xiao Yuan, while also guiding his uncle, Feifei, and Qing Shiyu in their cultivation. He even took the time to teach Qing Shiyu the art of swordsmanship. Additionally, he dedicated portions of each day to instructing Tang Tianyou in the mysteries of alchemy and Xu Qiuyuan in the intricacies of array techniques. As evening fell, he would enter the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Tower to refine elixirs and further his own cultivation.
After seven days had passed, Ye Wushuang could sense that his second major meridian was on the verge of being unlocked. However, he was in no hurry. Cultivation, above all, required a steady and methodical approach.
One morning, Mu Qiqi arrived with great excitement.
“Ye Wushuang, Ye Wushuang, good news, good news…” she exclaimed, her face beaming as she entered the alchemy chamber where Ye Wushuang was. “It’s tremendous news!”
“Tang Tianyou’s ordinary elixirs have been met with overwhelming acclaim. The formulas you gave me for those elixirs are truly divine. They are incredibly beneficial for warriors in the body-refining stage,” she continued, her excitement palpable.
“In just a few days, our Qingyun Pavilion’s alchemists, using your formulas, have produced ordinary elixirs that have completely overshadowed those from the Holy Elixir Pavilion!”
“And the spiritual elixirs you’ve been refining these past few days are nothing short of miraculous. They are always snapped up the moment they are available,” Mu Qiqi added, her words tumbling out in a rush, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
In just seven days, the ordinary elixir formulas that Ye Wushuang had provided to Qingyun Pavilion had proven to be more cost-effective and potent. Orders had soared as a result. The several first-grade spiritual elixirs that Ye Wushuang had personally refined, each bearing unique elixir patterns, were sold at a premium, with many people clamoring desperately to acquire them.
“It’s truly amazing!” Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but marvel. “Now, the Holy Elixir Pavilion has been significantly overshadowed by us.”
“I really hope you become a second-grade spiritual elixir master soon. By then, I think the Holy Elixir Pavilion won’t be able to hold on any longer,” she added hopefully.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang waved his hand.
“What for?” Mu Qiqi asked, puzzled.
“Spirit stones,” Ye Wushuang replied directly.
“Huh?” Mu Qiqi’s face showed her astonishment. “I’ve already given the spirit stones to Uncle He. Didn’t he give them to you?”
Initially, Ye Wushuang had arranged for Tang Tianyou to collect ingredients from Qingyun Pavilion every day and deliver the elixirs for sale. Mu Qiqi had intended to hand over the spirit stones to Tang Tianyou, but he had refused. Instead, she had given them to Uncle He.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “The spirit stones are with Uncle He. What I need is the payment in spirit stones for healing your father’s injuries.”
“Huh?” Mu Qiqi’s eyes widened as she looked at Ye Wushuang.
“Your formulas for Qingyun Pavilion have already earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Moreover, a single first-grade spiritual elixir is worth at least ten thousand spirit stones. Yours are sold at a premium, and you take fifty percent. In just seven days, you must have made at least seven hundred thousand spirit stones. And yet, you’re asking me for payment?” she questioned.
“Separate matters should be treated separately,” Ye Wushuang insisted. “Your father’s life is not only important to you but also to your mother and even to the emperor.”
Mu Qiqi gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Wushuang, you’re really ruthless.”
However, Ye Wushuang didn’t take it to heart. The Dark Soul Hall was currently managed by Wang Pengyuan and two others. Since he had returned, he couldn’t just sit idle. He needed to contribute to the Dark Soul Hall!
Using the spirit stones earned from Qingyun Pavilion to support the Dark Soul Hall and help Wang Pengyuan and the others build their strength was a very worthwhile endeavor.
“Here, here, I’ll get it for you. I’ll tell my mother when I go back,” Mu Qiqi said quickly. “But tomorrow is the day to report to Qingyun Academy. You have to be careful!”
“Careful? Careful about what?” Ye Wushuang asked curiously.
“Don’t you know how famous you’ve become?” Mu Qiqi replied, even more puzzled.
Ye Wushuang shook his head. In the past few days, he had moved into the Ye Mansion. He spent his days guiding Ye Qingfeng, Ye Feifei, Xiao Yuan, and Qing Shiyu in their cultivation, as well as teaching Xu Qiuyuan and Tang Tianyou. At night, he refined elixirs and cultivated himself. He hadn’t stepped out of the mansion at all.
Mu Qiqi was left speechless. “You really are completely oblivious to what’s happening outside the mansion!”
