Chapter 15: The Spendthrift Disciple
Ye Liuyun was about to begin refining pills again.
She placed the Myriad Elixir Immortal Cauldron before her and took out all the medicinal herbs Lin Aoxue had purchased for her.
As for the various magical treasures, Ye Liuyun stored them all inside the Copper Ring.
Lin Qingyou also flew out of the ring.
“Kid, you are going to start researching the antidote again? Let me remind you—these are all spiritual herbs. Pills refined from spiritual herbs are far more powerful than the ones you made using ordinary ingredients in the mortal world,” Lin Qingyou warned.
But Ye Liuyun did not care.
She could not die anyway.
What was there to fear?
At this moment, she was desperate to turn back into a man so she could properly deal with Lin Aoxue.
That intimate moment earlier had filled her with humiliation.
She was supposed to be the man, yet she had been the one pinned down by Lin Aoxue.
She absolutely could not accept that.
She needed to turn back into a man and reclaim her masculine pride.
“I cannot worry about that right now. As long as I keep experimenting with different combinations, I will eventually refine the antidote,” Ye Liuyun said firmly.
After speaking, she immediately began.
She formed several hand seals, using a mysterious technique to activate the Myriad Elixir Immortal Cauldron.
Inside the cauldron, green flames ignited automatically.
This was the Myriad Elixir Immortal Flame—the flame that came with the cauldron itself.
No medicinal herb could last longer than three breaths within this flame.
After three breaths, all impurities would be perfectly removed, leaving only the pure essence.
Not only was the cauldron extraordinary, but the alchemy technique Lin Qingyou had taught Ye Liuyun was also the most advanced method in the world.
There simply could not exist a more skilled alchemist.
Before falling into the mortal world, Lin Qingyou had been the Palace Master of the Elixir Palace in the Immortal Realm.
There was no one in this world who understood the Path of Alchemy better than she did.
As Ye Liuyun placed portions of medicinal herbs into the cauldron one after another, each herb was stripped down to its pure essence by the Immortal Flame.
This time, Ye Liuyun did not combine many ingredients.
She used only two herbs.
After all, these were spiritual herbs, and she was encountering them for the first time.
However, she did not need to understand what the herbs actually did.
Because she was not refining a conventional pill.
Of course, she was capable of refining orthodox pills.
But that was not what she was attempting right now.
Once the essences of the two herbs merged with a base medicinal powder, the contents of the cauldron condensed into round pills.
They rolled out through the cauldron’s pill outlet.
In a single batch, ten pills were produced.
Moreover, the pills radiated a rich medicinal glow.
Many intricate patterns were etched across their surfaces.
If an ordinary alchemist witnessed this, they would be completely stunned.
A casually created pill possessing both pill glow and pill patterns was simply unbelievable.
In the cultivation world, pill glow and pill patterns were symbols of alchemical mastery.
The more pill patterns a pill possessed, and the brighter its glow, the better its medicinal effects.
Pills refined with the Myriad Elixir Immortal Cauldron also received a trace of immortal power from the artifact itself.
This often produced unexpected results.
Ye Liuyun’s success rate and output were already the absolute limit of what could be achieved in this world.
No one else could surpass her alchemy.
“What kind of pill is this? It seems pretty ordinary,” Ye Liuyun muttered.
She picked one up and examined it briefly.
Then she casually tossed it into her mouth.
Whether a pill could reverse her bodily transformation could only be determined through personal experimentation.
The moment the pill entered her stomach, Ye Liuyun’s eyes widened.
Spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged toward her like a storm.
More precisely, all of it poured directly into the spiritual sea within her abdomen.
“Whoa! This is a pill that increases the speed of spiritual energy absorption!”
Ye Liuyun quickly realized what it was.
She immediately stabilized her mind and began refining the energy.
Ye Liuyun had already remained at the Spirit Stream Realm for a long time.
However, because the Elixirs available in the mortal world were insufficient, she had been unable to break through.
She had been stuck at the early stage.
But today, this single pill allowed her to break through into the middle stage of the Spirit Stream Realm.
However, her spiritual power itself did not increase.
Only her divine sense and physical strength improved.
And the effects were not over yet.
The pill continued working for nearly an entire minute before the medicinal power was fully absorbed.
“My heavens… this one pill is equivalent to several years of cultivation in the mortal world,” Ye Liuyun said excitedly after breaking through.
“This should be a type of Spirit Gathering Pill. However, it differs from the usual version. I think we should call it the Burst Spirit Pill. It is perfect for your current realm. I recommend refining many more. After all, your little wife also needs to improve her cultivation,” Lin Qingyou suggested.
Although Ye Liuyun wanted to refine an antidote as soon as possible, that depended heavily on luck.
“You are right. Then I will refine a lot of them and give them to Aoxue as food,” Ye Liuyun said with a grin.
She immediately recorded the combination of the two herbs used to create the Burst Spirit Pill.
In the future, whenever she ran out, she could simply follow the same formula.
One set of herbs produced ten pills.
And the entire process—from removing impurities to condensing the pill—took less than three minutes.
Ye Liuyun’s alchemy speed was unparalleled.
With such efficiency, if she ever needed money in the future, she could easily sell the pills she refined.
After an hour, all the herbs used for the Burst Spirit Pills had been consumed.
Beside Ye Liuyun sat a basin filled with white jade-like pills.
All of them were Burst Spirit Pills.
There were exactly two hundred pills.
If these pills were officially graded, they would likely be at least Blue Grade pills.
Meanwhile, on Lin Aoxue’s side—
The moment she returned to her residence in the inner sect, she was summoned by Yun Yun.
She lived near Yun Yun’s residence.
Yun Yun sat beneath a tree covered in pink blossoms within her courtyard, sipping spiritual tea while wearing a cloud-white dress.
“You are back,” Yun Yun said calmly when she saw her disciple enter.
“Hehe, Master, I am back. Here—this is your contribution token. I have already bought everything I needed,” Lin Aoxue said cheerfully as she returned the token.
At first, Yun Yun did not pay much attention.
However, when she casually glanced at the balance on the token—
The next moment, the spiritual tea she had just sipped sprayed out of her mouth.
It nearly hit Lin Aoxue.
Fortunately, Lin Aoxue reacted quickly and dodged it.
“My heavens! Aoxue… what exactly did you buy? Why is there so little contribution left?” Yun Yun’s usually calm expression instantly turned to shock.
Lin Aoxue clearly understood why Yun Yun reacted like that.
“Well… hehe… I did not buy that much. I mainly bought many things for my elder sister. She is alone in the outer sect, and I was worried about her safety. So I spent a little more. Do not worry—just treat it as if I borrowed it from you,” Lin Aoxue said awkwardly.
After all, she had done it to help Ye Liuyun.
And since the money had already been spent, there was no way to take it back.
“But… you did not need to spend this much! I saved all those contribution points slowly since I was a disciple. Even though I rarely use them now, you spent more than a million contribution points in one go. That truly shocked me,” Yun Yun said helplessly.
It was not that she was stingy.
But Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were merely novice cultivators.
The way they spent money was simply outrageous.
Although she was the Sect Master, the sect’s resources could only be used for official sect matters.
The contribution points Lin Aoxue had spent were Yun Yun’s personal savings.
In the cultivation world, currency was measured in spirit stones.
In Yunxia Sect, one contribution point was equivalent to ten spirit stones.
That meant Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun had just spent ten million spirit stones in one go.
“Well… ahem… you told me to spend freely, Master. I thought it was just a small amount of money for you,” Lin Aoxue said awkwardly with a sheepish smile.
Yun Yun nearly choked on those words.
She almost wanted to slap herself.
But no matter how speechless she felt, the money had already been spent.
There was nothing left to say.
