Divine Doctor Abandoned Girl

Chapter 49: Initial Success in Refining Pills

The discovery of the Dark Yin Jade vein was undoubtedly the largest discovery the Ye family had in these hundreds of years.

It surprised Ye Gu. He immediately went into the underground well with Ye Fengyun and Ye Fengcheng. After seeing the jade vein of excellent quality, they finally believed everything Ye Lingyue said.

“Father, this is marvelous news. This time, the Song family can’t win us now.” Ye Fengyun saw the jade vein that was like an elevated river, and he was so amazed.

“As long as we sell the Dark Yin Jade, not only in Autumn Maple town, no one from the county city will dare to look down on our Ye family ever again.” Ye Fengcheng stood beside the jade vein, absorbing the pure Yin energy from the jade. He then felt the elementary force rolling inside his body.

“No, I will not excavate this jade vein for the time being. This jade vein will be the hope for our Ye family to rise again.” Ye Gu became cool-headed after being happy.

Looking at the path, even a Postnatal Peak master like him felt cold standing next to the jade vein. Hence, it was hard for Lingyue to go down there with just a fifth level of body tempering.

It was easy to see that Ye Lingyue’s perseverance and courage were far superior to those of ordinary people.

“Father. Do you want this jade vein as a place for the children to cultivate in the future?” Ye Fengyun knew his father’s thoughts better.

“Yes, I plan to mine a small part of Dark Yin Jade vein and send it to the Capital to refine into Dark Yin powder. This would help the disciples in the family who are above the fifth level of body tempering to breakthrough to the Postnatal realm. From now on, all the disciples of the Ye family who have broken through the Postnatal realm, including a few of you, must enter the Jade vein to cultivate in seclusion.” Ye Gu was much more shrewd than his eldest and fourth son.

In his eyes, 60% dark iron was enough for the Ye family to reach the top in Autumn Maple town. However, if the Ye family were to go to the county city with no Connate masters in command, they would be like sheep among wolves, which was dangerous.

After all, the value of a Dark Yin Jade vein meant innumerable Postnatal masters and money.

“Father is right. We must keep the secret about the Dark Yin Jade vein. I will talk to Lingyue later.” Ye Fengyun also agreed with his father.

“Fengyun, when you visit the county city next time, bring Sheng’er and Lingyue with you. They are the best among the younger generation in the family and it’s time to broaden their horizons.” Ye Gu’s words shocked Ye Fengcheng.

Ye Fengcheng felt upset when he heard that Ye Lingyue, that brat, was to go to the county city. He had fought for this opportunity for his son Ye Qing for more than a year.

But Ye Lingyue had made significant contributions to the Ye family in the recent months, and even Ye Fengcheng could not find any reason to refute Ye Gu’s favoritism.

After Ye Fengyun and Ye Fengcheng left the well, there was a trace of excitement in Ye Gu’s eyes as he walked to the jade vein.

“Ancestors, your spirits in heaven must protect our Ye family and revive our family,” Ye Gu said and punched the jade vein. The sharp fragments of the jade cut Ye Gu’s hand and blood flowed out, but Ye Gu did not look like he was in pain.

After Ye Lingyue left the cold underground well in the Seventh Northern Hill, she jogged back home.

Arriving at Qiaochu Wing, Ye Lingyue immediately entered Hongmeng Sanctuary.

The saying, ‘Taking advantage of every opportunity to benefit oneself,’ described Ye Lingyue. After seeing the Dark Yin Jade vein, how could she completely hand it over to the family?

The Dark Yin Jade vein was long, so it wasn’t much of a deal for her to take a few pieces of Dark Yin Jade ore from her family’s mine.

Ye Lingyue was thinking about this and took some jade ores. There were more than a thousand Dark Yin Jade ores in the two houses at Hongmeng Sanctuary.

Because of Ye Lingyue’s cauldron breath, her mother’s injury was almost to the point of recovery. But to cure her completely, she still needed a lot of pure Yin energy to repair the bones and muscles.

If it was Ye Fengyu alone, it would take at least five or six years for her to replenish so much Yin energy, and Ye Lingyue did not want her mother to wait for that long.

So, Ye Lingyue diverted her thoughts to a pill called Dark Yin Pill. This spirit pill was only a second-grade spirit pill and was only a grade higher than the Gathering Elemental potion.

However, for those Postnatal martial arts practitioners with damaged channels, it was the best tonic for nourishment. To refine the Dark Yin Pill, one needed an extensive amount of Dark Yin Jade ores.

It was going to be Ye Lingyue’s first time to refine spirit pills.

Ye Lingyue grabbed a piece of Dark Yin Jade ore and controlled the cauldron breath. The Qian cauldron swallowed the Dark Yin Jade ore, but after a while, there was a ‘pop’ and a ball of gray thing appeared.

“It failed?” Ye Lingyue sighed. Sure enough, it was much harder to refine spirit pills than to refine Gathering Elemental potion.

But that did not discourage Ye Lingyue, so she continued to grab a piece of Dark Yin Jade ore to refine it.

After wasting five to six Dark Yin Jade ores, the Qian cauldron spat out a spirit pill with an uneven surface.

“Dark Yin Pill?” Ye Lingyue felt overjoyed. Although it looked a little ugly, it was undoubtedly a second grade Dark Yin Pill.

Refining a Dark Yin Pill for the entire afternoon, the sky outside had already turned dark. Ye Lingyue was determined to continue refining pills the next day.

For the next few days, Ye Gu and the others did not disclose the news of the Dark Yin Jade vein to the public and Ye Lingyue devoted herself to refining the spirit pills in Hongmeng Sanctuary.

With the sufficient spiritual air in Hongmeng Sanctuary, Ye Lingyue continued refining pills while absorbing elementary force. Unknown to her even, her efficiency in refining pills had greatly improved.

From the initial scrap of five to six Dark Yin Jade ores to only scrapping one to refine a Dark Yin Jade Pill, the surface of the Dark Yin Pill became even smoother.

Seven days later, the Dark Yin Pills that Ye Lingyue refined had a line of blue patterns on them. Ye Lingyue remembered that Immortal Hongmeng said that the blue pattern represented the quality of the pill. It had changed from a common spirit pill to a low-grade spirit pill, which meant that her level of refining had improved.

After leaving Hongmeng Sanctuary, Ye Lingyue put a Dark Yin Pill into Ye Fengyu’s water as usual.

“Lingyue, I found you at last! Tomorrow morning, you will go to the city with Father and me.” Covered in sweat, Ye Sheng came in, and he smiled when he saw Ye Lingyue.

The past few days, Ye Lingyue was very secretive and Ye Sheng had looked for her several times but could not find her. Ye Sheng had finally caught her and could not help but complain.

“Going to the city?” Ye Lingyue brightened when she heard this.

“Yes, the Master allowed us to visit and have a look around the county city. We will also learn from Fifth Uncle how to buy and sell dark iron.” Ye Sheng and Ye Lingyue’s fifth uncle was Ye Gu’s fifth son. He was in charge of the trade of the Ye family’s dark iron, and he was in the county city all year round.

Ever since learning that there was an Alchemist Association in the county city, Ye Lingyue had always wanted to go there. But unfortunately, she did not have the skills. It was fortunate, this time, that such a rare opportunity cropped up for her.
