Ye Xiruo slept for a long time, only waking up three days later. Her first reaction was to check if she had spilled her spirit wine, showing her true love for food.
"System, wake me up if there's a next time." She should be sleeping on a soft bed, even though this is divine spring water and soaking in it is very beneficial. She has no desire to sleep in it anymore.
"Yes, Master."
After drying the clothes, harvesting the spiritual herbs, and replanting a new batch of spiritual herbs, Ye Xiruo left the space.
It was still her private cultivation room. She took out the green essence and tried to refine a batch of pills. The result gave her a great surprise. Breaking Yuan Pill is one of the more difficult pills to refine among the fifth-grade pills. Usually, it takes two hours to refine a batch of Breaking Yuan Pill, and the quality of the pills is entirely dependent on luck. If you are lucky, you may get one or two top-grade pills. If you are unlucky, you will get all high-grade pills.
For an average alchemist, producing a high-grade pill might be considered quite good, but for Ye Xiruo, anything less than a top-grade pill meant imperfection and incompleteness. This obsessive-compulsive tendency wasn't about maintaining the dignity of a divine master; it was simply about doing things seriously and striving for perfection.
This time, she spent an hour and a half refining the Breakthrough Pills, and only one of them was a high-grade pill, while the rest were top-grade pills. Moreover, the refining process was much easier, and she had more complete control over the Azure Lotus Heaven.
To verify whether this was a coincidence or a genuine improvement, Ye Xiruo refined five more batches of pills in one go before stopping. She was very satisfied with the quality of all five batches. It seemed this was the benefit of breaking through to the third level of the Fire Control Technique. No wonder her master had always emphasized that one should never break through to the sixth level of alchemy before reaching the third level of the Fire Control Technique.
Master must have known this would happen; her intentions were truly profound. At this rate of cultivation, she'll likely become a sixth-grade alchemist soon. Only after becoming a sixth-grade alchemist can one be considered an intermediate alchemist, barely qualifying for a position as an elder or guest master in a small sect.
After passing this threshold, the breakthrough to the ninth-grade alchemist is quite difficult. As expected of the senior brother, cultivation is as easy as drinking water for him. His breakthrough was a natural process, without any effort.
Next, Ye Xiruo refined a large number of aphrodisiac pills and anti-aging pills. At this point, all the pills she refined were of high quality, with occasional exceptional quality pills appearing. Once she breaks through to the sixth-grade alchemist, she should be able to refine a large quantity of exceptional quality pills.
Second Senior Brother is in seclusion; these pills should be sent directly to the pill shop. Ye Xiruo gathered the hundred or so bottles of pills piled on the ground and left the cultivation room.
Back at Ye Ruo Palace, Ye Xi Ruo fell asleep immediately and instructed Ming Xi to have Master Zhang cook a good meal, as it had been a long time since she had dinner with Brother Xiu Qi.
While Ye Xiruo was asleep, a major event occurred in the Danwang Palace; to be precise, a major event happened to Xiu Qiyu.
Falling Cloud Valley suffered a blow from Illusionary Heaven Palace. The disciples who went out for training were killed or wounded, and many elders were poached by hostile forces. Forces that were originally on good terms with the sect have now begun to suppress Falling Cloud Valley, and the sect is now in a state of panic.
Xiu Qiyu received the news a month later. The sect leader didn't want Xiu Qiyu to know. No matter how powerful Xiu Qiyu was, he couldn't fight against several sects, let alone the behemoth behind them—the Illusionary Heaven Palace. It was clear that Luoxia Valley was implicated because of Xiu Qiyu. Xiu Qiyu was hiding in the Pill King Hall, and even Lian Jing couldn't do anything to him, so he directly targeted Luoxia Valley. Given Xiu Qiyu's feelings and attachment to Luoxia Valley, destroying it would cause him immense pain, perhaps even condemning him to a lifetime of regret and hatred, and his reputation as a genius would be shattered.
To put it another way, if Xiu Qiyu is worried about Luoxia Valley and leaves the Pill King Hall to go there, that would be his chance to strike, and he would definitely not give Xiu Qiyu a way out. He's heard that Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo are inseparable, so if he could take the opportunity to kill Ye Xiruo, it would be a great relief.
His child, born with a radiant and holy body, if cultivated to its peak, could wield life and death, becoming the most revered being on the entire continent. Since his child is now ruined, this continent no longer needs a divine master to completely overshadow his glory.
Lian Jing had completely lost his mind. The elders couldn't strongly oppose some of his decisions; the matter of the Divine Child had been a huge blow to the Palace Master, and Xiu Qiyu and Zishu were very important figures in the Pill King Hall. Falling Cloud Valley could be seen as a way of atoning for Xiu Qiyu's sins! However, these simple-minded elders never imagined that Lian Jing not only wanted to destroy Falling Cloud Valley, but also wanted to kill Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo.
If Ye Xi were to perish, the Pill King Palace would undoubtedly become mortal enemies with the Illusionary Heaven Palace. Over the millennia, the Pill King Palace has accumulated terrifying wealth, and many forces have deep ties with it. Countless peerless masters owe the Pill King Palace favors. A war with the Pill King Palace would certainly result in the Illusionary Heaven Palace disappearing from history. Has Lian Jing gone mad? No matter how the elders imagined it, they could not have imagined that Lian Jing would be so insane, even wanting to sever the centuries-old legacy of the Illusionary Heaven Palace.
Xiu Qiyu rushed into Ye Ruo Palace, knocked Mingxi unconscious, and headed towards Ye Xiruo's bedroom.
"Little Yezi, wake up." Xiu Qiyu condensed a few ice flowers above Ye Xiruo. Ye Xiruo, who was sleeping, buried her head in the quilt, looking like a little silkworm cocoon.
Xiu Qiyu touched Ye Xiruo's head, looking pained. They had originally planned to take Xiao Yezi to see the sect leader, but they never expected that Huantian Palace would be so shameless as to attack Luoxia Valley.
Master must be in great pain right now. If it weren't for Master's kindness in saving him back then, the Night of Falling Clouds Valley wouldn't be facing such a near-extinction.
Ye Xiruo also woke up at this moment and immediately saw the bright ice flower on her head. She touched it with her finger and thought, "It's really cold!"
Brother Xiu Qi's expression seems off. Has something happened?
"I'm fine. I haven't seen you for so long, so I came to check on you."
"Look at me? Are you sure you just want to look at me?"
"I want to go back to the sect first to make some preparations."
"There's no need for so many formalities. We're not outsiders."
Xiu Qiyu's smile was somewhat bitter: "You stay in the Pill King Palace, don't forget to go out. Pill King City is not absolutely safe either."
