Chapter 547 Slapping in the Face, What Right Do You Have? [1 Update]
The Tranquilizing Pill is a very basic medicine, but it is very important to ancient martial artists and doctors.
When practicing ancient martial arts, practitioners need a calming pill to quiet their minds, eliminate distracting thoughts, and accelerate their training.
Ancient doctors also needed to take calming pills during the process of refining medicine.
The elders of the Pill Alliance are able to refine Tranquility Pills with an 85% utilization rate.
However, each batch of four pills is only produced, and they are all pre-ordered by various ancient martial arts and medical families.
Others can't even get their hands on it, so they have to settle for using the ones with lower utilization rates.
However, any calming pill with a utilization rate of over 50% is worth buying.
A utilization rate of 65% is very high for a Level 4 member.
Most importantly, a batch of six Tranquilizing Pills was something that Master Li had never seen before.
Moreover, all six Tranquilizing Pills have the same utilization rate, with no difference whatsoever.
How skilled must one be at controlling the heat and wind?
Those of them who refine medicine dare not refine too much medicine at once.
Because it is very likely that the situation will get out of control, causing the medicine furnace to explode and all the work to be wasted.
Master Li's breathing quickened, and he abruptly looked up: "Where is Miss Qingjia's report card from back then? Do you still have it?"
Even Master Liu was stunned by this final report card.
After a while, he seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly ran to the bookshelf, and found Lin Qingjia's report card.
Spread it out and place it on the table.
Name: Lin Qingjia
Bone age: 20
Assessment time: 189 min
The results showed that the utilization rates of the four pills in one batch of Jingxin Dan were 64.2%, 63.3%, 59.8%, and 57.4%, respectively.
Overall ranking of Danmeng Level 4 assessment: 1
This "1" has remained unchanged for more than two years.
But now, this two-year performance record has been broken.
Holding two report cards, Master Li trembled as he exclaimed, "Old Liu! Did you see that? A more talented alchemist than Miss Qingjia has appeared!"
Although Master Liu was also shocked, he frowned upon hearing this: "That's because Miss Qingjia has not spent enough time on alchemy. As I said, if she had only focused on alchemy, she would already be at level seven."
Can they compare to those who specialize in alchemy?
"But she's still quite talented." Hall Master Li shook his head and immediately summoned the steward who was compiling identity information. "Which family does this Miss Ying belong to?"
It seems that the surname Ying doesn't exist in either the ancient medical or martial arts circles.
At 18 years old, with that kind of strength, he would definitely be a key talent to be cultivated by the Meng family.
The steward respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Master, this Miss Ying is from the Ye family."
"The Ye family?" Hall Master Li was taken aback. "Which Ye family?"
"The Ye family in the eastern part of the ancient martial arts world is a very small family," the steward said. "They also have a family member who studies ancient medicine, named Ye Ling, who is now a level three member of the Pill Alliance."
Master Li was somewhat puzzled: "Why don't the people of the Ye family have the surname Ye?"
"We've checked. This Miss Ying is a distant relative of the Ye family in the secular world." The steward flipped through the files. "More than ten years ago, Miss Ying's parents passed away, and the head of the Ye family brought her to the ancient martial arts world."
"Later, it was discovered that Miss Ying had a certain talent for alchemy, so we let her learn from Ye Ling."
This is the identity that Fu Yunshen arranged for Ying Zijin in the ancient martial arts world.
They keep a low profile and won't attract attention from others.
Despite the flaws, the Judicial Hall had already designed a complete identity verification system for Ying Zijin in the ancient martial arts world.
After all, the ancient medical and martial arts communities are closed off from the outside world, isolated from it, and form their own independent groups. They neither care about nor investigate matters outside.
The steward added, "This Miss Ying must have studied alchemy for over ten years before coming to take the exam. That's why she advanced from level one to level four in less than half a month."
He secretly wondered if Miss Ying would have already reached level five if the next level five assessment wasn't scheduled for March of next year.
“Alright!” Master Li made a quick decision. “Give me the address, and I’ll go to the Ye family right away.”
Such a talented member deserves a personal visit.
**
The arrival of the Hall Master of the Pill Alliance left Patriarch Ye utterly astonished.
However, after learning from Fu Yunshen about Ying Zijin's participation in the Dan Alliance assessment, he quickly calmed down.
"Master Li," the Ye family head instructed Ye Ling to invite Ying Zijing over, "this is my niece."
Master Li gave him a strange look: "Patriarch Ye, why are you trembling?"
The head of the Ye family was shaking uncontrollably, and his voice trembled as he said, "I...I'm just so excited."
Ying Zijing could easily help Ye Changkong break through to the Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster level.
In terms of strength, he could definitely be considered his ancestor.
He's now calling his ancestors his nieces; isn't that shortening his lifespan?
"Oh—" Master Li nodded, not thinking much of it.
His gaze swept over the girl from head to toe.
“Miss Ying.” Hall Master Li took out several items from his pocket. “This is a membership token given to you by the Pill Alliance. With this token, you can read many ancient medical books within the Pill Alliance.”
Ying Zijing had no interest in these things. She looked up and asked, "Can I collect the medicinal herbs?"
“Yes,” said Master Li. “Your share of medicinal herbs is 500,000, but you ranked first in the overall fourth-level assessment this time, so I helped you increase your share to one million. You can collect it this month.”
He paused here, waiting for the shocked expressions on the faces of the Ye family head and the others.
The head of the Ye family was eating a steamed bun when Ye Ling handed him water.
Yunshan remained expressionless.
Master Li: "???"
Why are these people so calm?
Surpassing Lin Qingjia, what does that mean?
Ying Zijing took the token: "It's a bit too little."
Master Li sighed upon hearing this.
Look at this poor little girl, the Ye family is really poor.
His tone became even more amiable: "Miss Ying, if you have any pills you need to sell, give them to me, and I'll help you sell them for a high price."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly: "There are some."
Yunshan came out carrying several medicine bottles.
It contains very simple pills; Ying Zijing could easily refine dozens of them.
She maintained the utilization rate at 65%.
Master Li took the medicine and left.
After finishing a steamed bun, the head of the Ye family finally stopped shaking.
Ye Ling walked over and whispered, "Miss Ying, if you can sell pills with 100% utilization, you'll quickly make a lot of money."
If a Tranquilizing Pill had a 100% utilization rate, one of it could definitely sell for 30 million at an auction.
Ying Zijin said calmly, "Possessing a treasure is a crime, and it's troublesome."
She sold pills with 100% utilization that day just to obtain a Heaven-level token.
Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
If someone, like Fu Chen or Meng Qingxue, has a powerful ancient medical family as a backer, then no matter how outstanding their performance, nothing will happen.
However, even a medium-sized family like the Ling family, which possesses its own cultivation techniques, has already included Ling Mianxi, who can rival Xie Nian, on the assassination list.
Taking it step by step, with the Danmeng (a business alliance) helping with the sales, is indeed safer.
Yunshan understood now.
It turns out that Master Li was just a tool.
Just like him.
**
The next day.
When the Lei family came to take over the Ye family's territory.
The ancient martial arts master sent by the Lei family was named Lei Cong.
He is 168 years old this year and broke through to become a Grandmaster at the age of 158.
He became the second ancient martial arts master after the Lei family patriarch.
Lei Cong led his family to set up the arena, and ancient martial artists from other families came to watch.
"Ye Changkong, we've finally waited for this day." Lei Cong, his hair gray, cracked his knuckles. "The way I killed your son back then, I'll kill you the same way I kill you today."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling turned sharply to the Ye family head: "Father, Grandfather is..."
The head of the Ye family remained silent with a sullen face, his hands clenching so tightly they made a cracking sound.
Ye Changkong's son, who was also his father, was maliciously killed by Lei Cong during a fight.
The head of the Lei family sipped his tea and gave a mocking smile.
"Ye Changkong isn't even a Grandmaster. Elder Lei could blow him up with a single punch."
"Kill Ye Changkong in a bit, and confiscate the Ye family's property. Kill the men, and arrest the women."
"That girl is really pretty."
Upon hearing this, Yunshan's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Miss Ying, I'll kill them."
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "Cause and effect."
Yunshan scratched his head and shut up.
He still didn't understand what cause and effect meant, but he knew that being entangled in cause and effect would be very troublesome.
On the stage, Lei Cong smiled again: "Ye Changkong, I can give you a few moves."
Ye Changkong sneered: "Lei Cong, then open your eyes wide and see clearly!"
He stretched out his figure.
With a "bang," the internal energy burst forth.
The surrounding fallen leaves spun and floated up and down under the influence of internal energy.
A master of ancient martial arts, whose inner strength is manifested outwardly!
All sounds ceased abruptly.
Everyone was taken aback.
Lei Cong simply couldn't believe his eyes. He exclaimed, "Ye Changkong, how did you become a Grandmaster?!"
The Lei family has always been aware of the Ye family's strength.
That's why a life-or-death duel was specifically arranged.
Ye Changkong has at most eighty years of ancient martial arts cultivation; it's impossible for him to have any more.
How could it be possible to advance by twenty years in one go?!
Lei Cong gritted his teeth: "Ye Changkong, did you take your medicine?"
"Lei Cong, think before you speak," Ye Changkong sneered. "What kind of medicine can make someone reach the level of a Grandmaster of Ancient Martial Arts?"
Lei Cong was speechless.
It is well known that ancient martial arts masters cannot break through through external forces.
Lei Cong sneered: "Fine, Ye Changkong, so what if you've reached the Grandmaster level? I entered that realm ten years earlier than you. How can you fight me?"
The Lei family shared the same idea.
There is a significant difference between a beginner Grandmaster and a Grandmaster who has made significant progress over a long period of time.
"Concentrate and hold your breath," Ying Zijing said in a voice only Ye Changkong could hear, "Use the boxing technique I taught you."
Ye Changkong nodded, slowly walked forward, and clenched his fist.
Lei Cong scoffed again: "What kind of trashy technique is this? I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Changkong punched him.
With a loud "boom," Lei Cong was sent flying dozens of meters before crashing to the ground.
They no longer even had the ability to get up and fight back.
Lei Cong was utterly defeated!
The Lei family head's expression finally darkened.
This is a fight to the death.
If Lei Cong loses, he will die.
The Lei family is not large, with only two ancient martial arts masters.
With Lei Cong dead, the Lei family's strength will be greatly diminished.
But the life-or-death struggle had already been reported to the judicial hall, so they were unwilling but had no choice.
The head of the Lei family gritted his teeth: "Let's go."
The Lei family came in a huff, but left in a sorry state.
The head of the Ye family also breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Ying, thank you, thank you so much."
The crisis facing the Ye family has been completely resolved.
“Miss Ying.” Ye Ling stepped forward at this moment, “The Hall Master Fang of the Pill Alliance just sent someone to say that you should go to the Fang family and become their alchemist. The Fang family can provide you with resources and medicinal herbs.”
The Fang family is considered a medium-sized family in the field of ancient medicine.
Ying Zijing replied calmly, "I'm not going."
Ye Ling had already anticipated this outcome: "I'll go and refuse."
**
Danmeng.
The steward replied to Master Fang: "Master, she said she's not going, she's not interested."
Master Fang's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "She still has a temper? Who does she think she is? Refusal? It's just because I didn't recommend her to the Heavenly Medicine Sect?"
He kindly wanted to mentor Ying Zijin, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
Doesn't the Fang family have more resources than the Ye family?
"Alright, then I don't need her either." Hall Master Fang laughed. "The Pill Alliance has plenty of Level 3 members; losing one won't make a difference!"
He still has the right to dismiss a level-three member.
A light, airy voice came from behind.
"Master Fang, who do you want to remove?"
Master Fang looked up: "Master Li, this is my business."
Hall Master Li glanced at him indifferently: "Hall Master Fang, do you really not know?"
Master Fang frowned: "What do I need to know?"
Although they were both hall masters of the Dan Alliance, he was one level below Hall Master Li.
Because Master Li manages the fourth-level members, he is responsible for the third level.
Everyone knows that there's a world of difference between level three and level four in the Pill Alliance.
"Lu Xu, whom you recommended to the Heavenly Doctor Sect, has already been banned from entering by the Lin family," Hall Master Li sneered. "And Miss Ying, whom you wanted to expel from the Pill Alliance, is now a Level 4 member, and is no longer under your jurisdiction."
"A level four member?" Hall Master Fang frowned even more. "That's impossible. She just passed level three three days ago."
No one could break through another level in such a short time.
Without saying much, Master Li slammed the report card on the table: "Take a good look at it yourself. Do you have the right to remove her?"
