In the Dao of Alchemy, how could it be child’s play?
A single mistake could lead to the destruction of the furnace and personal injury!
"Brother Ye, you..." Mao Qingzhu was about to persuade, but Chen Ye waved a hand, indicating she needn’t say more.
"If Sister Qingzhu is worried, you might as well go in and have a look."
Chen Ye smiled faintly,
This wicked dumpling, like a villain, looked down on him at every turn.
One moment concerned his Spirit Plant Cultivator character was weak and couldn’t bear the sight of blood;
The next moment suspicious of his alchemy like child’s play, wasting spiritual materials.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye added maliciously:
"Just as well, help me see how capable my two apprentices really are and give them some guidance on Alchemy Dao."
"This... very well."
Mao Qingzhu, worried about the safety of the two girls, rushed in without saying more, pushing open the door to the Quiet Chamber.
Let’s see what medicine Brother Ye has in his gourd!
Inside the room.
The chaotic scene with spiritual power disorder did not appear as expected.
Instead, they were organized and worked in harmony.
The silver-haired girl was sitting cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, her small face tense and her expression focused.
Her fair little hands were clasping an arcane spell, with the flame in her palm, sometimes like a spirit snake flicking its tongue, sometimes like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, utterly controlled and methodical!
On the other side, the taller black-haired girl was handling the herbs. Her actions were steady and efficient, each herb’s weight and timing for purification grasped perfectly.
What shocked Mao Qingzhu even more was the pure fragrance of the pills lingering at her nose!
This meant they were not just putting on a show but indeed had true skills.
"Upper grade pills?!"
Next, Mao Qingzhu’s gaze suddenly fixated on the anomaly surging within the pill furnace, with jade liquid brilliance flowing clearly indicating the sign of upper grade pills forming!
In this light, Qing Jun’s Alchemy Dao attainment might even surpass her own!
Even though she only casually dabbled in Alchemy Dao, being outdone by a young girl...
And for Brother Ye, who can guide a young girl to create upper grade pills, how terrifying must his Alchemy Dao attainment be?
Mao Qingzhu was utterly stunned, recalling her earlier remarks about being "skilled in Alchemy Dao," and "teaching you hand-to-hand," wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
Isn’t this... wielding an axe before the gate of a master, yet unaware?!
"Brother Ye, you..."
When Mao Qingzhu turned around in shame, the doorway was already empty. Brother Ye said he would rest, and indeed without delay, he turned and left!
She thought... he must have been standing there, waiting to watch her embarrassment...
Recalling earlier, no matter how much she questioned or implicitly belittled, Chen Ye always remained calm, and now he left without a fuss...
"Brother Ye’s temperament..." Mao Qingzhu felt a mix of emotions, realizing that although she was the elder sister, in terms of temperament, she was far inferior to this sworn younger brother.
...
Not a word was spoken all night.
At dawn the next day.
Waking up, Chen Ye felt a slight weight on his chest.
He opened his eyes to see a cascade of soft, black hair, and a peaceful, serene sleeping face.
"When did this girl come?"
Chen Ye rubbed his eyes.
Last night, while his two apprentices stayed up all night refining pills, Chen Ye thought Zhiwei wouldn’t come.
Now, she lay curled in his embrace like a gentle kitten.
She was sleeping soundly, her long, curled lashes casting a small shadow in the dim light. Her fair little face flushed with a healthy pink in slumber, the lips usually pursed were now slightly parted, rising and falling with her steady breathing.
"Don’t sleep with your mouth open..."
Chen Ye gently pinched his apprentice’s lips closed, knowing that sleeping with an open mouth could make kids grow up ugly!
Soon, Chen Ye considered a crucial issue.
Occasionally accompanying Zhiwei is fine, but he couldn’t always sleep with her?
This would not do in the long run.
Chen Ye shook his head, gently moving her petite body off him, and tucked her securely with a soft thin quilt.
After doing all this, he quietly got up alone and called upon Qingzhi, who was guarding the Inner Valley.
Currently,
Outside the Valley, an Iron-Horned Demon Bull maintained order along with the Dark Old Man and Lin Jinghua.
While inside the Valley, there was Mao Qingzhu.
This allowed Qingzhi’s battle power to be freed up...
"It’s time, it would be rude not to reciprocate when treated."
A cold glint passed through Chen Ye’s eyes.
He originally intended to adhere to sect order, not engaging in assassination.
But since the Wei Family acted first, they couldn’t blame him for being discourteous.
Chen Ye always believed that weeds must be eradicated, or they would invite trouble later.
Take Wei Cheng, for instance, failing once wouldn’t make him stop, it might even make him more alert, leading to even fiercer and more covert methods next time.
Since that’s the case, there’s no reason to wait any longer.
Rather than passively awaiting the next assassination, it’s better to strike first!
Chen Ye removed Qingzhi’s black robe.
Beneath the robe was a jet-black Mystic Iron Trunk, its aura restrained, yet filled with explosive power.
This was his strongest combat force, comparable to a Body Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!
Plus, its unafraid-of-death attribute, coupled with the high-level combat techniques under the Second Tier puppet core’s control, made it virtually invincible at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Chen Ye was quite satisfied with this puppet he personally crafted; from the Storage Ring, he took out two Magical Artifacts obtained from the Black Wind Twin Fiends.
One was armor, the other a fist.
It’s a pity though, Magical Artifacts are ultimately Magical Artifacts, lacking in spirituality.
