Ye Wushuang once again spoke firmly: “Remember this: I help you and your father out of a sense of duty. You owe me nothing, understand?”
“From now on, never speak in such a manner, and do not kneel so casually!”
Xu Qi Yuan scratched his head and smiled naively. “I understand.”
“Very well, let’s have a meal together!”
……
In the following days, Ye Wushuang remained at home instead of returning to Qingyun Academy.
During the daytime, she instructed Qing Shiyu in the mastery of her Pure Yuan Spirit Body, taught Xu Qi Yuan about formations, and guided Tang Tianyou in the art of alchemy.
At night, she used Lu Rong Xiang to awaken the spiritual essence of Ye Feifei’s bloodline.
Moreover, she requested a considerable amount of medicinal materials from Qingyun Pavilion and proceeded to refine her own pills.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this particular day, a graceful figure arrived at the Ye residence.
“Ye Wushuang!”
Mu Qiqi appeared outside Ye Wushuang’s alchemy room.
The door creaked open, revealing Ye Wushuang, her white robe covered in dust, her long hair disheveled and unkempt, looking as if she had not slept for days, much like a beggar.
“What… what happened to you?” Mu Qiqi was taken aback.
“I’m refining pills!”
Ye Wushuang then returned to her room.
Mu Qiqi entered the alchemy room and was met with a chaotic scene, filled with a mix of various scents.
Ye Wushuang led Mu Qiqi to a secluded compartment at the back of the alchemy room.
“You’ve arrived just in time. I’ve been at home these past few days, and it’s about time I returned to the academy,” Ye Wushuang said.
“These pills here, you can take them to Qingyun Pavilion for auction. Some of them are for your father,” she continued.
Mu Qiqi stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the shelves in the compartment, which were lined with an array of jade bottles and brocade boxes.
“There are seventeen types of first-grade spirit pills here, such as the Biyun Pill, the Sanyuan Pill, and the Tongxin Pill. Each type has about a hundred pills,” Ye Wushuang explained.
“In addition, there are six types of second-grade spirit pills, including the Jufu Pill and the Heming Pill. The Jufu Pill is particularly effective for warriors at the Yuanfu realm in opening their spiritual palaces. You have alchemists at Qingyun Pavilion who can appraise them and set the price accordingly.”
“Second-grade spirit pills?”
Mu Qiqi was stunned for a moment before she managed to say, “Ye Wushuang, you can refine second-grade spirit pills now?”
“Yes…” Ye Wushuang nodded. “During the trial on Lingyun Mountain, I merged with a geothermal flame, which improved the quality of my alchemical fire. It’s just barely manageable.”
_Barely manageable?_
Mu Qiqi was left speechless.
As an alchemist herself, she knew all too well how extraordinary it was to refine second-grade spirit pills without reaching the Yuanfu realm.
Alchemists were not less concerned with their cultivation levels than ordinary warriors; in fact, they needed it even more.
Without reaching the Yuanfu realm, a warrior’s spirit, energy, and will were hardly sufficient to withstand the consumption of refining second-grade spirit pills.
Ye Wushuang, who was only at the sixth level of the Condensation Meridian realm, had managed to do it?
And not just one, but six types of second-grade spirit pills!
“Monster…”
Mu Qiqi muttered under her breath, but her eyes gradually began to shine as she looked at Ye Wushuang.
Feeling Mu Qiqi’s intense gaze, Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow and said slowly, “I am merely in a partnership with your Qingyun Pavilion. I saved your father, and you help me sell my pills. That’s all there is to it. There’s no clause about servitude!”
“Huh?”
Mu Qiqi was taken aback.
Ye Wushuang continued, “Don’t look at me with such admiration. Otherwise, if you fall for me, I won’t take any responsibility!”
“Huh?” Mu Qiqi was even more stunned.
“What kind of dream are you having? As if a lady like me would ever take a liking to you?” Mu Qiqi huffed indignantly.
“That’s for the best.”
Ye Wushuang continued to sort the pills and instructed Mu Qiqi on how to administer them to her father.
Finally, Ye Wushuang said, “I’ve used second-grade spirit pills to suppress your father’s injuries. He will feel much better now and won’t have to suffer any longer.”
“Thank you, Ye Wushuang!” Mu Qiqi said sincerely. “I have an unreasonable request.”
“Since it’s unreasonable, you shouldn’t even mention it,” Ye Wushuang replied with a poker face.
Mu Qiqi was immediately annoyed. “Ye Wushuang, do you even have any emotional intelligence? A woman with my looks, status, and temperament is hard to find even with a lantern in the entire Qingyun Empire. Besides Shihua and Shiyu, who else can compare with me? Are you so impatient with a beauty?”
