Chapter 2058: Chapter 2058 A Fair Result
When Li Xingrou saw the Elixirs, she immediately forgot about her earlier unhappiness.
"Are you done refining it?"
She had planned to press Ye Liuyun, but to her surprise, he had already prepared everything.
Li Xingrou opened the Elixir container. She couldn’t help but smile as she saw a dozen of intermediate sixth level Elixirs neatly placed in it.
"At present, this is the best I am capable of. Shengnan, please make do with this for now. When my skills improve, I’ll refine higher level elixirs for you."
"Take one of these elixirs daily and observe their effect. If they work well, I will refine more of these for you." Ye Liuyun explained.
"Well then, I won’t reject your offer!" Li Xingrou immediately accepted the elixirs.
Ye Liuyun replied, "No need for formalities, Shengnan. If you need anything else, feel free to come and find me!"
After a short casual chat, Li Xingrou left feeling satisfied, eager to return home and consumed the elixir.
Before consuming the Elixirs, she had it checked thoroughly. After confirming it was safe, she confidently took one of the lixirs.
Upon ingesting the elixir, she felt a sudden boost of her energy. Not only did her skin appear smoother and more delicate, but her overall vitality dramatically increased.
Even her maid noticed her transformation immediately.
She rushed to Murong Tian, who noticed her change in one look. "Ling Xingrou, you seem cheerful today! It appeared as if you’ve become a few years younger!"
"Murong Tian, so you noticed it too? The new Alchemist, Chen Feng, helped me refine a Youth Preserving Pill. I took one and the results are spectacular!" Li Xingrou shared with enthusiasm.
"Oh? Did you check before taking it?" Murong Tian asked, revealing his cautious nature.
"I’ve double-checked it. There’s no problem!" Li Xingrou confirmed.
"That’s great! This young man seems reliable!" Murong Tian felt relieved.
Li Xingrou said, "Of course! He knows Li Jian, he must have been inquiring about the affairs of the sect in private!"
"Right! The result is impressive. You should let him help to refine more Elixirs in the future. But there is a cost to refine those pills. Perhaps you should occasionally give him some benefits to not let him lose too much."
"He is an alchemist yet he seems to understand human nature well. We should try to get close to him. Don’t bully him away!" Murong Tian continued to instruct Li Xingrou.
"Do not worry! I know what I’m doing!" Li Xingrou sounded confident.
When Li Xingrou returned to her cultivation at night, she was even more astonished by the effect of the Youth Preserving Pill. She felt that her practice yielded better results than before.
To have Ye Liuyun continue supplying her with the Youth Preserving Pills, she specifically prepared some rare and precious medicinal herbs for him. A few days later, she delivered them to Ye Liuyun.
When she met him, she praised him for the effectiveness of his Elixirs.
Ye Liuyun warned her not to spread this around, fearing that too many people would want him to refine this kind of pill, and he wouldn’t be able to cope.
Because Li Xingrou was only concerned with her beauty and wouldn’t want anyone else to do the same, she was willing to guard Ye Liuyun’s secret tightly.
At the same moment, Liu Xing was searching everywhere for the remedy of the Multi-Poison.
He reconsidered his previous decision and decided it would be wiser not to act hastily towards Ye Liuyun. He needed to verify if the Multi Poison was indeed as Ye Liuyun said. That only he had the cure.
He even had his men ask Jin Qingsong if he could cure him. But the answers he got were all the same. Nobody could cure him.
"This d*mned bastard!" Liu Xing had been cursing Ye Liuyun relentlessly.
"Reporting it to the sect is definitely out of the question! No one would believe me even if I did. Besides, this he seems to know a lot about me. It’s impossible to make a stealthy move. That bastard’s courtyard has a Level Seven feral beast... What if I kidnap his women? His women are indeed tempting!"
Liu Xing had not forgotten about Scorch and Hua Xiangyuan. But every time he thought of how he had fallen for the honey trap, he reminded himself to be twice as careful in the future.
In the end, he was too afraid to kidnap any hostages. Because he didn’t know much about Ye Liuyun’s personality. Hence, he wasn’t sure if Ye Liuyun would yield for his mere maids.
If Ye Liuyun didn’t care about his maid, then his move would be in vain.
More importantly, he couldn’t guess what Ye Liuyun wanted him to do! Judging from his interactions with Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun was also a person who kept his intentions discreet.
However, he was worried that he would get himself into more trouble if he complied with Ye Liuyun.
So he spent each day in agony, pondering over and over without coming up with a good solution.
He didn’t consult anyone about it either. He felt that even if he failed to find a solution with his wit and intelligence, then the others would certainly not be able to.
At this moment though, Ye Liuyun was completely at leisure. He made the most of every moment to hone his alchemy skills.
He didn’t have the time to go about it and was mostly at home for cultivation.
Jin Qingsong was incredibly pleased with Ye Liuyun’s resolve to dedicate himself to cultivation and alchemy. Moreover, Lin Luoyi was an advanced-level alchemical master.
Even Lin Xiya was a highly talented alchemist. So he felt that he had made a great deal and praised Ye Liuyun to anyone he met.
The Elixirs Ye Liuyun produced during his practice were his contribution to the sect. He didn’t need to take on any tasks to exchange for the resources.
During this period, he had been focusing on cultivation and occasionally engaged in combat practice with the Devil Charm Mirror. By now, his primary sixth level had been thoroughly consolidated, and he was progressing toward the intermediate sixth level.
On the twelfth day, Li Xingrou came looking for Ye Liuyun after finishing the last of her Youth Preserving Pill.
"Shengnan, I’m truly sorry, recently the task Master has given me is relatively heavy. So I haven’t had the time to concoct the elixir. How about this, after I submit the elixir to Master tomorrow, I will immediately start concocting yours. You can come a bit later tomorrow, or even the day after!"
Ye Liuyun deliberately asked her to come later, wanting to study the effects of her addiction.
Li Xingrou had just taken an elixir today, so she wasn’t in a huge rush and didn’t mind waiting for another day. Hence, she left Ye Liuyun and returned to her place.
She initially planned to meet Ye Liuyun the day after next. But when she thought about not having her Elixr the next day, she felt restless. It bugged her as if something was missing.
She waved this emotion away and thought she felt it because she was being too vain and excessively self-conscious about how she looked. She did not give it much thought.
"Love for beauty is natural for a woman," she further reassured herself.
She was more conscious of her appearance now that she was receiving complimented from everyone she met on how much younger and more attractive she looked.
Li Xingrou tried to distract herself by practising her cultivation. But she just couldn’t find peace. Eventually, she succumbed to it and went to look for Ye Liuyun again.
"Ye Liuyun, I don’t mean to rush you but I am just too restless. Whenever I think about not having the elixir, I just can’t focus on anything else!" She explained to Ye Liuyun.
"That’s okay, I can understand!" Ye Liuyun answered smilingly.
He knew that the effects of this Elixir were excellent, and Li Xingrou was already addicted to it.
So he immediately took out another dozen elixirs and gave them to Li Xingrou.
Li Xingrou was so anxious that she couldn’t wait until she was home to take it. Right after she received the container, she popped one into her mouth instantly.
