At this moment, Xia Lei was intently observing every move of Ye Wushuang.
He was no longer merely curious about whether Ye Wushuang could successfully refine elixirs. Instead, he was deeply engrossed in the subtle mysteries of her every gesture and action, savoring the profound artistry she displayed.
Xia Yushan, witnessing her father’s earnest demeanor, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Father, it seems you’re not just checking if she’s an elixir master. You’re actually trying to learn from her!”
Caught in the act, Xia Lei’s face flushed with embarrassment. He admitted, “Though I am a first-class spiritual elixir master, holding a high position in this Flowing Moon City, what am I in the grand scheme of the Qingyun Empire? I too aspire to reach the level of a second-class spiritual elixir master within my lifetime!”
“Can watching Ye Wushuang refine elixirs help you achieve that?” she questioned.
“Not directly,” Xia Lei continued, “But the way Ye Wushuang cleans the elixir cauldron, handles the medicinal materials, and controls the elixir techniques—there is so much I can learn from her. And… ”
“And what?” she pressed.
Xia Lei’s curiosity piqued as he said, “Her techniques are so masterful, as if she were a grandmaster who has immersed herself in the art of elixir refinement for decades, if not centuries. This young man has truly become extraordinary after his near-death experience…”
Hearing her father’s high praise for Ye Wushuang, Xia Yushan couldn’t help but smile. She had merely stumbled upon the scene at the Sacred Elixir Pavilion, witnessing the tense standoff between Ye Wushuang and its members. Her initial intention in bringing Ye Wushuang here was to provoke the Sacred Elixir Pavilion’s people.
But could it be that she had truly discovered a gem?
Xia Lei then added, “However, while the success rate of the elixirs is indeed perfect, the true measure of an elixir master lies in the quality of the elixirs. If one produces ten elixirs that are inferior in quality to a single elixir produced by another master, then it is all for naught.”
At this moment, Xia Lei was already eager to verify the quality of Ye Wushuang’s elixirs.
In half a day, Ye Wushuang successfully refined the Qi-Refining Pills, Bone-Forging Pills, and Inner-Reserve Pills, as well as the Bone-Healing Pills and Youth-Preserving Pills.
There were thirty of each of the Qi-Refining Pills, Bone-Forging Pills, and Inner-Reserve Pills, and fifteen of each of the Bone-Healing Pills and Youth-Preserving Pills.
With everything completed, Ye Wushuang’s face had turned slightly pale. The entire day spent on setting up the formations and refining elixirs had taken a considerable toll on his energy and spirit.
“Xu Qiuyuan, let’s go!” Seeing that Xu Qiuyuan was still deep in thought after all his hard work, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh and say, “The art of formations is profound. Sometimes, answers don’t come from endless pondering but from trying and experimenting.”
Xu Qiuyuan stood up and looked at Ye Wushuang with even greater respect. The three questions he had asked were all related to first-class spirit formations, and they had long troubled him. Even the third- and fourth-class spirit formation masters in the hall could not resolve his doubts. Yet, Ye Wushuang’s few words seemed to enlighten him as if he had been awakened from a dream. It was truly incredible.
“Master Ye.”
“Hm?”
Xu Qiuyuan said earnestly, “Do you really not consider taking on apprentices? If not, would you mind having an additional dry son at the Condensation Pulse stage?”
…
The two men left the elixir refining room together, and Xia Lei and Xia Yushan were waiting outside.
“Did the refining succeed?” Xia Yushan’s bright eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Yes.”
Ye Wushuang then said, “This Dragon’s Roar Cauldron is indeed extraordinary and quite easy to use. According to the rules of your Qingyun Pavilion, I need to sell a portion of the elixirs I have refined.”
“These are ten Qi-Refining Pills, Bone-Forging Pills, and Inner-Reserve Pills, as well as five Bone-Healing Pills and five Youth-Preserving Pills,” Ye Wushuang took out the boxes containing the elixirs and handed them to Xia Yushan, smiling, “You are familiar with the Qi-Refining Pills, Bone-Forging Pills, and Inner-Reserve Pills. The Bone-Healing Pills are highly effective for treating broken bones and severed meridians in martial artists at the Body Refining stage. As for the Youth-Preserving Pills… as the name suggests, they preserve one’s youthful appearance and are quite appealing to women who value beauty. Moreover, the Youth-Preserving Pills I refined not only preserve beauty but also enhance physical constitution to some extent.”
“You can have an elixir master appraise their effects and set the prices.”
“Wonderful!” Xia Lei, standing beside Xia Yushan, immediately said, “I’ll check them right away!”
Seeing Xia Lei’s eager expression, Ye Wushuang was taken aback for a moment.
