Apprentice Alchemist Lv. 37 + Tan

  "I heard that King Ning is in charge of the jade stones in the southwest?" Ye Chuchu looked at Feng Xue's distant tone, knowing that beneath King Ning's gentle exterior lay a heart as cold as ice. It seemed that dealing with him would require patience, so she casually asked, bringing up a topic that piqued her interest.

  "Is the Imperial Concubine also interested in jade?" Feng Xuefeng did not expect Ye Chuchu to ask this question. The Zi Tian Kingdom was a major producer of jade, and the jade trade accounted for a large part of the economy. Therefore, the imperial court tightly controlled this industry to prevent anyone from becoming too powerful.

  "Aren't all women interested in jewelry and jade?" Ye Chuchu said matter-of-factly, as if it was a given that women loved accessories like jewelry, not just ordinary people but also female cultivators.

  "The jade stone is indeed under my management, but only for mining purposes. If the noble consort is interested, she can choose to go to Pin Yu Xuan." Feng Hui's expression softened with a smile, recalling the last time he met Chu Ye, who had a similar aura to the current Ye Chuchu in front of him.

  A flicker of surprise flashed through Feng Xuefeng's eyes, was there a connection between the two? The thought only lingered for a moment before he threw it out of his mind.

  "Pin Yu Xuan?" Ye Chuchu's eyebrows slightly raised, she hadn't expected Feng Xuefeng to mention Pin Yu Xuan. It seemed that he had a relatively good impression of Pin Yu Xuan. Did this count as her first successful step?

  "Well, the jade decorations there are very unique." Feng Xuefeng praised without hesitation, "You can go take a look when you have time."

  "En." Ye Chuchu nodded in response, she knew her place of course, the things Mu Yu made were indeed unique. Next step, she should move towards high-end, divide the customer group of Pin Yu Xuan into levels, and the things inside should also be divided.

  Looking at Ye Chuchu's silent reaction, Feng Xuefeng only felt that her words were somewhat improper, after all, she was now a noble consort, how could she possibly come and go freely in the imperial palace?

  Because of this misunderstanding, the two people suddenly had nothing to say to each other.

  Ye Chuchu's eyes inadvertently glanced at the lotus jade ornament worn by Feng Xuefeng.

  "Can I take a look at this?" Ye Chuchu said, pointing at the jade ornament.

  "En." Feng Xuefeng took it off and handed it over to Ye Chuchu.

  Ye Chuchu knew as soon as she touched it that this was her first piece of jade carving, and she hadn't expected it to be bought by Feng Xuefeng.

  "Do you like it? I'll give it to you." Feng Xuefeng said politely, glancing at the jade ornament as he looked at Ye Chuchu's focused expression.

  "A gentleman does not take away what others love." He looked up and returned the jade ornament to Feng Xuefeng's hand, this time the defensive effect should be crucial for someone from the royal family like him.

  Feng Xuefeng smiled and put the jade ornament back on his body, looking at Ye Chuchu, "The sky is late, I will retire."

  Feng Xue didn't forget that this was the imperial harem, where relationships between gentlemen were as thin as water. Not to mention a man and woman, even if there was nothing between them, they still needed to maintain an appropriate distance.

  "En." Looking at Feng Xuefeng's still reserved and calm demeanor, Ye Chuchu knew he still hadn't let go of this mortal hierarchy system, which truly suppressed one's nature.

  She is no different, in this mortal world, even if she knows that she is a cultivator, and different from these people, but in their eyes, isn't she the same as them?

  Yechu Chu turned around and left after taking a glance at Feng Xuefeng's back.

  Over there, three pairs of eyes were staring intently at the two people, discussing heatedly what they had just seen.

  "Is there something fishy going on between this imperial concubine and the Prince of Ning?" Xian Fei said cautiously, gazing at the two people laughing and chatting in the distance.

  "Whether there is a cat or not, I will make it one." The Empress coldly snorted, the scene she had just witnessed had already given her a plan to deal with Ye Chuchu.

  Xian Fei and Hui Fei exchanged a glance, both thinking in their hearts that Shu Fei was already preparing to deal with Gui Fei?

  But it's also good that they are following Shu Fei now, and their goal is to use Shu Fei as a shield.

  The remaining three big families, each family wants to be the first family, but this first can only have one, is it just because Shu Fei can give birth that the Li family will become the first? Joke, there are so many women in the family, won't they give birth?

  Does Princess Shu really think that they are truly cooperating with her? Fools will always be fools, even if they become a little clever, they are still foolish.

  Let Shu Fei deal with Gui Fei, if they both get hurt, that's the outcome they'd most like to see.

  The Forbidden City

  Ye Chuchu was reclining on the soft couch, eyes closed in meditation, but in fact she had already entered the space inside and was sorting out the things she had brought back from the ancient tomb.

  A tripod double-ear furnace, the body of which is carved with various patterns all around, and what attracts Ye Chuchu most is a picture of alchemy on it.

  The alchemist had a clear flame in his hand, controlling the situation of refining pills in the cauldron. Looking inside, there were actually dozens of elixirs?

  Seeing this scene, Ye Chuchu was somewhat surprised. Alchemists usually only refined one pill at a time, or at most several pills together, in order to guarantee the quality of the medicinal pill.

  But dozens of them together, Ye Chuchu didn't know whether this was fabricated or actually happened.

  Ye Chuchu stared at the censer and then bit her own finger, dripping blood onto it.

  A drop of blood fell, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared, and the alchemy furnace exploded with a strong burst of light.

  The bright light faded away, and the dan furnace had already been renewed, washing away the leaden splendor and revealing its true face!

  "Congratulations on obtaining a high-quality fantasy device. The reward is the opening of the fourth layer of elixir, but the elixir is temporarily out of stock and needs to be replenished by the host."

  When the voice of the Qinglian system came, she first heard that the fourth layer was open. Ye Chuchu's eyes lit up, and then the next words left Ye Chuchu speechless. She wasn't sure if the space was playing a trick on her?

  Opening the fourth layer of Dan medicine, but there is no Dan medicine, is it useful to take it?

  "As long as the host cultivates one, it can be placed in the Dan medicine floor and taken without restriction." The Qinglian system reminded again.

  It wasn't until this was said that Ye Chuchu finally understood the meaning of the space, probably because it didn't want her to gain something for nothing.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chuchu had already taken out the same alchemy notes that she had obtained from the ancient tomb.

  After carefully reading it, Ye Chuchu finally understood that the changes in alchemy were endless. Sometimes, just one wrong spiritual plant could completely reverse the effect and cause great harm.

  Elixirs can both save and harm people. The art of alchemy is vast and profound, and if one can master it, they can indeed command the world.

  As soon as Ye Chuchu opened the homepage of Alchemy Heart Method, she began to condense her own spiritual fire.

  After a moment, Chu Chu's body began to build up layer upon layer of spiritual energy. The energy slowly gathered onto her hands, growing redder and redder.

  A burst of "peng" sound, a ball of fire finally emerged in Ye Chuchu's hand.

  She wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and Ye Chuchu really didn't expect to succeed. This alchemy manual was indeed top-notch. In her previous life, she had just learned the basics, but she had never been able to forge her own dan fire.

  Looking at the bright red flame in her hand, Ye Chuchu felt a wave of joy. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, six colors, representing the level of an alchemist.

  The red dan fire represents that she is an entry-level alchemist, and it took her several years in the Cultivation Realm to become an alchemist. Moreover, she still hasn't cultivated her own dan fire, which is really unexpected.

  I turned the page again and saw that on the next page were elixirs that could be refined using red cinnabar.

  The Dan of Washing Marrow was right before her eyes, but the method of refining it was different from what she had learned in her previous life. However, Ye Chuchu's attention was no longer focused on this aspect. The result was the same, so why should she care about the process? She had to get the Lingzhi grass refined into Washing Marrow Dan as soon as possible.

  She walked out of the space and looked at the illusion she had created in her mind. The next second, Ye Chuchu had already disappeared from where she was standing.

  When she reappeared, she was already Chu Ye.

  Heavenly Pavilion

  "Chu Shao, I've been waiting here for a long time, but I don't know where you are. You always seem to appear and disappear without a trace?" Su Qing Ge looked at Ye Chu Chu with curiosity, although he had already known that Ye Chu Chu was a cultivator, what made him wonder was that no matter how much manpower he spent, no one had ever seen Ye Chu's whereabouts, wasn't a cultivator also human?

  It seems like you won't be able to find her unless he himself appears in front of you.

  Apart from being a cultivator, Su Qing felt that there were still secrets on Chu Ye's body that needed to be dug deeper.

  "Do you have to dig deep into everyone you interact with? I've never dug up everything about you, why do you need to investigate me so thoroughly?" Ye Chuchu said calmly, her face not flushing or her heart racing. She had long since used the Mind-Reading Symbol to see through Su Qingge's everything clearly, and it could be said that in this world, apart from Su Qingge himself, no one understood Su Qingge better than she did.

  "It's always better to be safe than sorry. Since we're working together, shouldn't I get to know you better? That way, I can have peace of mind." Su Qingge said with a strong tone.

  "I want to understand you, will you tell me everything about yourself?" Ye Chuchu asked back, the man in front of her was hiding so deeply, could it be that he didn't allow others to hide deeper than him?

  "If it were you, maybe I would be willing?" Su Qing said with a hint of sincerity and playfulness.

  "Then can you tell me, how much is your total assets?" Ye Chuchu's words directly pierced Su Qingge's heart, Su Qingge, with the support of the imperial court, could be considered the richest merchant in Purple Umbrella, but the specific assets were unknown to anyone, not even the emperor.

  It was precisely because of this that Su Qingge would arouse Feng Shaohan's vigilance.

  "In that case, when the time is ripe, we'll understand each other." Su Qingge glanced at Ye Chuchu with a slanted gaze, and had to admit that Ye Chuchu's words indeed left him speechless.

  However, if he could really cultivate immortality, he wouldn't mind telling her, but now, he is still a mortal, isn't he?

  "Let's go!" Ye Chuchu's eyes slightly raised, with a hint of understanding.

  Ye Chuchu walked ahead first, Su Qingge followed behind him, looking at his back, Su Qingge only felt her heart beating faster and faster.

  That's not infatuation, it's the thrill of meeting a worthy opponent!
