In the following days, Ye Wushuang spent his daytime sparring with Xiao Yuan, while also guiding his uncle and Feifei in their cultivation and teaching Qing Shiyu swordsmanship. He would also set aside time each day to instruct Tang Tianyou in the art of alchemy and Xu Qiuyuan in the techniques of array crafting. In the evenings, he would enter the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda to refine elixirs and further his own cultivation.
After seven consecutive days, Ye Wushuang sensed that his second major meridian was on the verge of being unlocked. However, he was not in a hurry. Cultivation was all about steady progress and solid foundations.
One early morning, Mu Qiqi arrived with great excitement.
“Ye Wushuang, Ye Wushuang, good news, good news…” she exclaimed, her face beaming with joy as she entered the alchemy chamber where Ye Wushuang was. “It’s a huge piece of good news!”
“Tang Tianyou’s ordinary elixirs have been met with great acclaim. The recipes 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 the past few days, the alchemists of our Qingyun Pavilion, using your recipes, have outshined the ordinary elixirs from the Shengdan Pavilion!”
“And the spiritual elixirs you’ve been refining these past few days are simply amazing. They are always snapped up the moment they are available,” Mu Qiqi added, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
In just seven days, the ordinary elixir recipes that Ye Wushuang had provided had led to the creation of elixirs with lower costs and better effects, causing orders to soar. The several types of first-grade spiritual elixirs that Ye Wushuang had refined himself, each marked with elixir patterns, were sold at a premium and auctioned off at high prices, with many people desperately begging for a chance to acquire them.
It was truly remarkable!
Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but say, “Now, the Shengdan Pavilion has been significantly overshadowed by us. I really hope you become a second-grade spiritual elixir master soon. By then, I bet the Shengdan Pavilion won’t be able to hold on any longer.”
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 astonishment. “I’ve given all the spirit stones to Uncle He. Didn’t he give them to you?”
Originally, Ye Wushuang had arranged for Tang Tianyou to collect medicinal materials 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 the young man had refused to take them, so she had given them to Uncle He instead.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “The spirit stones are with Uncle He. What I need is the reward in spirit stones for healing your father’s injuries.”
“Huh?” Mu Qiqi’s eyes widened as she looked at Ye Wushuang.
“The elixir recipes you gave to 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’ve made at least seven hundred thousand spirit stones. And yet you’re asking me for a reward?”
“Separate matters should be treated separately,” Ye Wushuang replied. “Your father’s life is not only important to you but also to your mother and the emperor.”
Mu Qiqi gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Wushuang, you’re really ruthless.”
However, Ye Wushuang didn’t mind. The Dark Soul Hall was currently under the control of Wang Pengyuan and two others. Since he had returned, he couldn’t just sit idle. He needed to help the Dark Soul Hall whenever he could!
Using the spirit stones earned from Qingyun Pavilion to support the Dark Soul Hall and help Wang Pengyuan and the others accumulate strength was a very worthwhile endeavor.
“Here, here, I’ll get it for you. Go tell my mother when you get back,” Mu Qiqi said. “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 curious.
Ye Wushuang shook his head. In the past few days, he had moved into the Ye Mansion. During the day, he guided 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, never leaving the mansion.
Mu Qiqi was speechless. “You really are completely oblivious to what’s happening outside the mansion!”
