Regardless of the envy and jealousy of other competitors, Zuixianlou was truly incredibly popular. Bai Qi would smile broadly every few days as he looked at the accounts.

Since Zuixianlou got back on track and the bodies of the slaves Ye Xiruo bought recovered, Ye Xiruo really had some free time.

Ye Si, Ye Liu, and Ye Ba were thrown into the restaurant by Ye Xiruo to work as helpers. They were to learn from the six chefs and work diligently. If they didn't understand anything, they were to ask questions, and the six chefs would be happy to answer their questions.

As for the remaining six with the talent of spirit wine masters, Ye Xiruo wrote a booklet about her experience, steps, details, and other important points in brewing spirit wine. Each person received a copy and studied it carefully. Spirit fruits were delivered to the courtyard every day, and they could try it on their own. They could follow Ye Xiruo's spirit wine recipe or create their own.

Let them do whatever they want! Brewing wine, like cooking, requires inspiration, passion, and enthusiasm. Ye Xiruo doesn't want these slaves to learn from her in a rigid and formulaic way.

Then everyone's individuality is erased, and the spirit wine they brew loses its soul and its unique characteristics. This will undoubtedly destroy their talent as spirit wine masters, and they may find it difficult to make any progress in the future. This is not the result that Ye Xiruo wants.

Let them roam freely for now! Let them discover the joy of brewing wine on their own, the characteristics of each type of spirit wine, and which spirit fruits are suitable for brewing which type of spirit wine.

Clearly, these five future spirit wine masters are full of interest, seemingly possessing endless energy to keep experimenting every day.

Then they discussed it with each other. They were all Ye Xiruo's people now, so there was no question of them vying for favor.

They were extremely fortunate to have met such a good master as Ye Xiruo. They had no other thoughts than to study hard, brew wine well, and not disappoint Ye Xiruo.

Their attempts were effective, though initially they were a complete mess. Even when they occasionally succeeded, the spirit wine was either too weak in flavor or the spiritual energy dissipated, turning it into ordinary wine.

Ye Xiruo did not blame them. Instead, she encouraged them, saying, "Don't worry, try slowly, things will get better."

Twenty days later, they actually managed to produce three bottles of spirit wine. Although they weren't perfect, they tasted quite good, each with its own unique characteristics: some were as passionate as fire, some as cool as the moon, and some as elegant as a lotus.

Half the credit goes to Ye Qi; she was right after all.

Ye Qi also proved that he was absolutely worthy of that top-grade Lesser Rejuvenation Pill.

They already have a foundation, their own framework, and their own ideas, so Ye Xiruo no longer needs to worry about their future being restricted.

Ye Xiruo took a day to personally demonstrate the brewing of the spirit wine to them, explaining each step in detail, and they were also allowed to ask questions.

"Alright, this is just my habit. If you have any ideas, feel free to come up with your own."

"Thank you, Master."

"Here are a few recipes for spirit wine. Keep them and study them carefully."

"Yes, Master."

The three slaves with the talent of a master chef also progressed quickly. In the kitchen, they worked diligently, chopping and washing vegetables, mincing meat, and doing their jobs meticulously.

They did whatever the six chefs asked them to do, without arguing or fighting. Seeing their serious attitude, and since Ye Xiruo had personally delivered them, the six chefs would give them pointers when they had time.

In addition, the three of them had made quite a few observations on a daily basis, which put them in a very good mood.

Although they had been reduced to slavery, they had met a master like Ye Xiruo, and they were doing the work they had always dreamed of. They were truly lucky.

Once everything was on track, Ye Xiruo, Zishu, and Yingxun also got busy, spending their time in the library of Youranju, browsing through various books.

The mysteries surrounding the Azure Continent and alchemists are gradually being unveiled.

Of course, they didn't slack off in refining pills either. The library of You Ran Ju and the alchemist were two points in a line, and the three of them were very busy and fulfilled every day.

Day after day, I almost forgot the passage of time.

Of course, there were some positive effects. Ye Xiruo has now become an eighth-grade alchemist, Ying Xun has become a ninth-grade alchemist, and Zishu is the most powerful. He has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage. Then his spiritual power has surged, and he has become a tenth-grade alchemist.

The ethereal body is practically a cheat code, but there's no use in being envious or jealous; it's something you're born with.

Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha spent their time either killing in the forest or fighting in the arena.

These two killing gods, one wearing a silver mask and the other a black mask, had never been seen by anyone. All that was known was that they were both swordsmen, always with their swords in hand, and their swordsmanship was superb.

In the arena, both of them had brilliant individual records, rarely suffering defeats. Then, these two freaks even formed a duo called the "Black and White Duo."

The two worked together seamlessly, and being swordsmen with terrifying attack power, they thrived in the entire arena.

Many prominent families have extended offers to the two, but they have all declined.

Ye Liusha and Xiu Qiyu did this behind Ye Xiruo's back, and the reason they wore masks was to avoid trouble.

Originally, when they were still newbies, the odds in the Colosseum were very high.

These two newbies, who would have faith in them and place bets on them? Nobody else would bet on them, they'd bet on themselves, putting all their savings on the line, without even considering the possibility of losing, okay?

As a result, they amassed a lot of spirit crystals after each game. When Bai Qi found out about this, he didn't hesitate to place bets with them, completely unafraid that they would lose.

However, as their record became more and more impressive, more and more people placed bets on them, and they really earned less and less. The prize money from the Colosseum was really very little in their eyes.

So, the two of them colluded with Bai Qi, deliberately losing the match, and in the end, they won a big victory, splitting the spirit crystals evenly.

Bai Qi was naturally very happy. Would he be a fool not to make money with spirit crystals? Bai Qi wasn't as poor as Ye Liusha and Xiu Qiyu.

Bai Qi's allowance is quite substantial, so by all accounts, Bai Qi is actually the biggest winner.

During this period, Bai Qi, along with Ye Xiruo's restaurant and the "Black and White Duo" of Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha, earned a lot of spirit stones and were overjoyed.

She ran back to the Bai residence with a clattering sound, to show off to Bai Feng.
