"That's right. On the other hand, the saintess also prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed."
"clear."
After the meal, Su Shaxuan personally escorted Ye Xiruo back and gave her a communication talisman: "If you need anything, you can send me a message. Don't do anything foolish."
Well, it really seems like a foolish thing to do. If Su Shaxuan hadn't arrived in time today, she probably would have become the first Golden Core cultivator in history to die from a fall.
It is estimated that future generations will record it like this: One day, a certain divine master suddenly had a strange idea and jumped off a snow mountain, ending his young life. What could have happened to make him so despondent that he had to commit suicide?
Back at her lodgings, Ye Xiruo practiced her swordsmanship two or three more times before going back to rest. Good, the pile of spirit stones hadn't shrunk much. The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine probably just liked sleeping on the spirit stones; she liked spirit stones too.
She once possessed so many spirit stones, but they were all taken away by that exploitative system, leaving her with a constant sense of panic about not having any spirit stones.
Ye Xiruo lay on the warm jade bed to rest. She had practiced swordsmanship several times today and did not feel any discomfort in her meridians. It seemed that her injuries had almost recovered.
When Ye Xiruo woke up, she felt refreshed and stretched, preparing to go into seclusion to refine pills. But then her eyes glanced at something, and her heart clenched. Good heavens, she must have seen wrong. The huge pile of spirit stones had dwindled to a tiny heap. The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine had transformed itself into a circle, encircling the entire pile of spirit stones and frantically absorbing them.
One spirit stone after another quickly turned into ashes. Ye Xiruo's heart was bleeding. This was not just consuming spirit stones; it was clearly taking its life.
"Master, you're awake! I have good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news."
"The bad news is that this pile of spirit stones is still not enough for me to absorb."
"And the good news?"
"The good news is that if you give me a few more spirit stones, I can advance smoothly?"
"To me, there's no difference between the two pieces of news; they're both bad news. You spendthrift, do you know your master is going to be broke?"
Ye Xiruo is very distressed now. Having such a wasteful spirit pet is really putting her under a lot of pressure. Is it too late to return it?
“Master, you’ve already used up so many spirit stones, what’s a little more? As a person, you must finish what you start and not give up halfway.”
"Are you even human?" Ye Xiruo rolled her eyes. How dare you say that?
“I am not, but you are. Aren’t you an alchemist? Although your pills would be worthless even if given away for free in the Pill King’s Hall, this is Saintess Peak. With your level, you can still find a good market.”
Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up. She was absolutely right. There were still many low-level disciples on Saintess Peak. And with so many medicinal herbs in her space, this was a huge business opportunity. She could even partner with Elder Lianqing, Elder Lianchi, and Senior Sister Susha.
“You’re right.” Ye Xiruo casually tossed out a pile of spirit stones, all of them intact low-grade spirit stones this time.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine let out a howl and rolled around on the pile of spirit stones: "Thank you for my kind, beautiful, wise and generous master. I will definitely succeed."
"If it doesn't work, just chop it up and burn it as firewood," Ye Xiruo sneered.
Ignoring the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, Ye Xiruo focused all her energy on alchemy. Since the Holy Maiden Peak was populated entirely by female cultivators, and their cultivation techniques were generally gentle, there was no need to consider pills like the Exploding Yuan Pill, Dragon Tiger Pill, or Aphrodisiac Pill.
Commonly used pills such as Hemostatic Pill, Rejuvenating Pill, Qi-Boosting Pill, Vital Energy-Nourishing Pill, Fasting Pill, Pure Heart Pill, Ice Heart Pill, Blood Stasis-Resolving Pill, and Vital Energy-Nourishing Pill will definitely have a market.
Ye Xiruo took out the greenery and a large amount of medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, organized them, and prepared to make a big splash.
Three days later, Ye Xiruo finally finished the refining process, looking neither human nor ghost.
Elder Lianqing came for three days in a row. Each time, there was a sign at Ye Xiruo's door that read "In Seclusion". For three days in a row, she was actually in seclusion. Could something have happened?
She knew firsthand how much Ye Xi loved to eat, but now she hadn't come out to eat for three days straight—it was simply illogical.
Finally, the sign was taken down, but when I opened the door, I was shocked to see Ye Xiruo, who was on the verge of ascending to immortality.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" This little rascal, even in seclusion, managed to get himself into this state. It's truly speechless.
"water."
She had been refining the greenery for three days, and she was almost roasted into dried flesh. Her lips were now cracked and bleeding.
Elder Lianqing quickly helped the person up, set them on a chair, and poured them a glass of water: "Drink slowly."
Ye Xiruo drank three cups of water before stopping, looking at Elder Lianqing with a deep expression.
"Young Master, are you alright? Should I go find a pharmacist to take a look?"
Ye Xi said weakly, "I'm fine, really."
"But what went wrong during your training? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Ye Xiruo shook her head: "I'm starving, is there anything to eat?"
Elder Lianqing opened the food box and took out a bowl of fish porridge and a plate of cold bamboo shoots: "You haven't eaten for three days, eat something first to fill your stomach, and then you can have a big meal next time."
Ye Xiruo nodded, quickly finished the fish porridge and bamboo shoots, and finally felt a little better. With tears in her eyes, she held Elder Lianqing's hand and said, "Elder, thank you so much."
"Don't do that again. You're still young, you don't need to push yourself so hard."
"I understand. I've been refining pills for three days, I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a nap, I'll talk to you when I'm up."
Ye Xiruo chuckled and immediately collapsed onto the bed to sleep. For the past three days, her mental energy had been in a constant cycle of depletion and recovery, but she was utterly exhausted. Only deep sleep could allow her to fully recover.
As Ye Xiruo fell asleep, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine also fell into a deep sleep amidst a pile of spirit stone remnants. A ball of emerald green light enveloped its entire body, and its aura was constantly growing stronger.
I believe that after this advancement, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine will be completely transformed.
Ye Xiruo slept for two whole days, but was eventually woken up by hunger. Fortunately, Elder Lianqing was prepared and had prepared food in advance, and engraved a heat preservation array on it, so that she could eat hot and fresh food whenever she got up.
After finishing her meal, Ye Xiruo noticed the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, which had fallen into a deep sleep. She threw it into her spatial storage and cleaned up the pile of spirit stone powder. At least all those spirit stones hadn't been wasted.
Next, it's time to sell the pills. After thinking for a moment, Ye Xiruo sent a message talisman to Su Shaxuan, asking her to come up and discuss it.
