Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

"Father?" Xia Yushan couldn't help but be curious.

"This young man is cleaning the pill furnace!" Xia Lei finally realized, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Could he really be a pill refiner?"

Xia Lei then explained, "Ordinary mortal pill refiners do not clean the pill furnaces. After each use, the furnaces will inevitably leave behind some impurities that affect their use. However, cleaning a pill furnace is an extremely complicated task. If even a trace of medicinal residue is left behind, it will affect the quality of the pills. Mortal pill refiners simply do not have the method to clean pill furnaces properly. Haphazard cleaning could lead to significant problems."

"I also know a way to clean the pill furnace, which I learned from my own master, but..."

"But what?" Xia Yushan hurriedly asked.

"But the method I know for cleaning the pill furnace cannot compare with the method Ye Wushuang is using..."

As Xia Lei spoke, inside the alchemy room, Ye Wushuang was in front of the Dragon Pill Furnace, with black or green dregs falling from both the inside and outside of the furnace.

Xia Lei continued, "A professional can be identified by their actions. This young man has some real skills!"

After cleaning the pill furnace, Ye Wushuang continued to clean the medicinal herbs, preparing everything before finally letting out a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, ready to start refining pills.

This time, Ye Wushuang planned to refine five types of pills.

Three of them, called Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills, are all mortal pills, matching the lower, middle, and upper three levels of the Body Refining realm. These three types of pills are quite common.

The Qi Refining Pills are extremely beneficial for the lower three levels of the Body Refining realm and can also be taken by Ye Feifei to lay a foundation for martial cultivation.

The Bone Forging Pills are very practical for his current stage.

As for the Inner Essence Pills, they are prepared for future entry into the upper three levels of the realm.

In addition to these, there are Bone Mending Pills and Youth Preserving Pills.

The Bone Mending Pills are naturally refined for the broken leg of his third uncle, Ye Qingfeng.

And the Youth Preserving Pills are prepared for his mother.

Ye Wushuang in the alchemy room was unaware of the onlookers, focusing intently as he began to refine the pills...

Time ticked by, and in the adjacent room, Xia Lei and his daughter Xia Yushan watched Ye Wushuang's every move.

After a while, Xia Yushan began to feel bored.

But Xia Lei, on the other hand, looked more and more incredulous, more and more shocked.

"This is impossible, how can this be possible!" Xia Lei muttered to himself.

"What's wrong, Father?" Xia Yushan asked.

Xia Lei grabbed his daughter's wrist excitedly, "Yushan, you are truly your father's precious daughter!"

"What?"

"The pills that Ye Wushuang is refining, I have observed closely. The Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills, all are mortal pills, but this young man's technique in refining pills, his processing, and control of the pill fire, even I, a first-class spiritual pill refiner, cannot compare."

"Moreover, he took three portions of medicinal materials for each pill. If an ordinary mortal pill refiner were to refine them, from three portions, they would probably get about ten pills, but this young man... he got thirty!"

"So?"

"Do you understand what this means?" Xia Lei said excitedly, "With three portions of medicinal materials, if perfectly utilized, one could only get thirty pills at most. Generally, it's not bad to utilize one-third. This indicates that Ye Wushuang's utilization of medicinal materials has reached a perfect level. Not to mention me, a spiritual pill refiner, even if my own master were to come, it would be impossible to achieve!"

Although Xia Yushan did not understand the art of pill refining, she understood at this moment.

Ye Wushuang is not only capable of refining pills but is also a prodigy in the field of pill refining?

Xia Lei was now intently observing every move Ye Wushuang made.

At this moment, he was no longer just interested in whether Ye Wushuang could refine pills; he was genuinely studying and savoring the subtleties of Ye Wushuang's actions.

Seeing her father's earnest and studious demeanor, Xia Yushan couldn't help but chuckle, "Father, you're not just trying to see if he's a pill refiner; you're practically learning from him!"

Caught red-handed by his daughter, Xia Lei blushed and admitted, "Although I am a first-class spiritual pill refiner with a high status in Liuyue City, what does it mean within the entire Qingyun Empire? I also wish to reach the level of a second-class spiritual pill refiner before my time is up!"

"Can watching Ye Wushuang refine pills help you ascend to the second class?"

"Not exactly," Xia Lei continued, "But the way Ye Wushuang cleans the pill furnace, handles the medicinal materials, and controls the pill refining technique, there is so much to learn from in my eyes. Moreover..."

"Moreover, what?"

Xia Lei expressed his curiosity, "Moreover, the way Ye Wushuang handles everything, it's as if he's been immersed in the art of pill refining for decades or even centuries. This young man, after his resurrection, has become incredibly peculiar..."

Hearing her father praise Ye Wushuang so highly, Xia Yushan instead burst into laughter.

She had just happened to pass by the Shengdan Pavilion and witnessed the tense situation between Ye Wushuang and the people there. Her intention to bring Ye Wushuang along was more to annoy the people of the Shengdan Pavilion.

But who would have thought, she might have truly discovered a treasure?

Xia Lei then added, "However, the perfect pill yield is one thing, but the true strength of a pill refiner ultimately depends on the quality of the pills. If one produces ten pills that are not as good in quality as a single pill from another refiner, it's all for naught."

Xia Lei was now eager to verify the quality of Ye Wushuang's pills.

Half a day later, Ye Wushuang completed the refining of Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills, and also produced Bone Mending Pills and Youth Preserving Pills.

There were thirty of each of the Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills!

The Bone Mending Pills and Youth Preserving Pills each had fifteen!

Everything was ready, and Ye Wushuang's face was slightly pale.

This day had been quite draining for him, with both array setting and pill refining, consuming a great deal of his energy.

"Xu Qiyuan, let's go!"

Seeing that Xu Qiyuan was still contemplating after half a day of work, Ye Wushuang couldn't help but smile and say, "The art of arrays is profound. Sometimes, it's not about thinking hard but trying more."

Xu Qiyuan got up at this moment, looking at Ye Wushuang with even more respect.

The three questions he asked were all related to first-class spiritual arrays, which had been troubling him for a long time. Even the third and fourth-class spiritual array masters in the palace could not resolve his doubts, but Ye Wushuang's words seemed to awaken him from a dream, which was truly astonishing.

"Young Master Ye."

"Hmm?"

Xu Qiyuan said earnestly, "Are you really not considering taking disciples? If not, would you mind having an adopted son at the Condensation Veins realm?"

...

The two left the alchemy room together, and Xia Lei and Xia Yushan were waiting outside.

"Were the pills successfully refined?" Xia Yushan asked, her eyes brightening.

"Yep."

Ye Wushuang then said, "This Dragon Pill Furnace is indeed extraordinary, and it's quite easy to use. According to the rules of your Qingyun Pavilion, I should sell a portion of the pills I've refined."

"These are ten Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills, as well as five Bone Mending Pills and five Youth Preserving Pills." Ye Wushuang directly took out the boxes containing the pills and handed them to Xia Yushan, smiling, "You are all familiar with the Qi Refining Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and Inner Essence Pills. The Bone Mending Pills have miraculous healing effects on broken bones and meridians for Body Refining realm warriors, and as for the Youth Preserving Pills... as the name suggests, they are for preserving one's appearance, which is quite attractive to women who love beauty. Moreover, the Youth Preserving Pills I refined are not only for preserving one's appearance but also have certain effects on enhancing physical fitness."

"You can have a pill refiner appraise the effects and set a price."

"Very well, very well!" Xia Lei, who was with Xia Yushan, immediately said, "I'll check them right away!"

Seeing Xia Lei's eagerness, Ye Wushuang was slightly taken aback.
