Chapter 123: Chapter 31 Who Says I’m Not a Pill Master

At this moment, what Yue Jinghua had in her hand was the Devil Mother Crystal obtained from the Dan Demon.

The Devil Mother Crystal was being tenderly nurtured by Yue Jinghua. Every few days, clusters of fine crystal bodies, like icicles, would grow around it, and harvesting these would yield Devil Crystals.

What Yue Jinghua needed to do next was to refine the Devil Crystals into Elixir Pills.

Within the Green Lotus Fire, the Devil Crystals spun. The astonishingly high temperature of the flames purged all impurities from the crystals, leaving behind a fine Devil Crystal Powder.

Five types of herbs were added one after the other into the Green Lotus Fire, and under the effect of the Chaos Green Lotus Fire, a mixture of Devil Crystal Powder and Spirit Wood Liquid emerged as Elixir Liquid.

The flames suddenly grew taller, and the uneven Elixir Liquid, under the effect of the fire, smoothed out, revealing a beautiful Dan Pattern on the surface of the Elixir Pills.

Including this time, Yue Jinghua had only refined pills a little more than sixty times, and the presence of the Dan Pattern meant that these Elixir Pills had reached the Spirit Rank.

Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but rejoice; this was also her first time refining a Spiritual-grade Elixir Pill - the Feminine Charm Pill.

The rouge-colored Elixir Pill fell into Yue Jinghua’s hands, emitting a scent that was like a blend of flowers and pill fragrance.

After obtaining the Devil Crystal from the Dan Demon, Yue Jinghua carefully examined this type of crystal. As a female spy, her earliest understanding of substances was poison.

Whether it was plant-based poisons that paralyze the human nervous system or various types of complex Western poisons, she could discern a thing or two about them.

After repeated analysis, Yue Jinghua confirmed that the Devil Crystal contained a substance similar to the arsenic used in modern times.

This also provided another inspiration for the Youthful Elixir Yu Jinghua was developing. As early as the medieval period, European noblewomen had used arsenic for beauty purposes.

Yue Jinghua’s Youthful Elixir was developed by selecting several types of spirit wood to neutralize the toxicity of the Devil Crystal.

A woman loves to dress for the one who admires her, and this truth is immutable. Compared to the oddly shaped Durian Pill, the Feminine Charm Pill rose a level in grade.

The Durian Pill, which was excellent for restoring Dark Power, didn’t sell well in the medicine shops. Setting aside the fact that only Dark Practitioners could use it, its smell and appearance were among the reasons for its sluggish sales.

The rough and tumble mercenaries had their own complaints about the smell of the Durian Pill.

Only Ni Qianjun, that oddball, was particularly fond of Durian Pills; if he were in modern times, he would definitely be a durian aficionado.

Elixir Pills take two approaches: the Durian Pill belongs to the "strength faction," while the Feminine Charm Pill aimed at the female market is the "idol faction."

While pondering whether to continue, a series of urgent footsteps approached from outside.

Yue Chen, the little boy, was gasping for air, his bun-shaped face flushed tomato-red, with his forehead’s little dot of cinnabar mole even more conspicuous.

"Why have you come? Has something happened in Jingxin Courtyard?" Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but pinch the little boy, sensing that something was amiss. Hongling always acted with caution, and Yue Chen was not given to talk. If it wasn’t for an emergency in the courtyard, why would they send quiet little Yue Chen to deliver a message?

Yue Chen, now accustomed to being pinched by Yue Jinghua, did not dodge, but just puffed up his cheeks, his large cat’s eye-like eyes staring round, his head shaking vigorously.

"Tch, it won’t kill you to speak a few words, will it?" Yue Jinghua, impatient, lifted the little boy and hurried towards the Lie Family Mansion.

Inside the Lie Family Mansion, the brothers Lie Changshun and Lie Chang’an sat in the main hall with gloomy expressions.

Lie Rou sat at a lower position, fidgeting uneasily. Hongling served beside her, her heart fluttering with anxiety, unsure of how her young miss would face the members of the Lie Family.

Lie Sisi, who had been summoned back urgently from Xuanji Academy, was replying, "In recent days, cousin Jinghua hasn’t been in the Outer Court. This morning, I went to the Outer Court to invite cousin back to the mansion to clarify the rumors. However, a student named Shalman from the Outer Court sent me away. It’s my fault for not looking after cousin well."

As Lie Sisi spoke, she lowered her head cautiously, carefully hiding the smirk at the corner of her mouth.

"It’s truly a misfortune for our family. I thought that after she joined the Outer Court, she had grown a little. Who knew that she would bring such disgrace to our family values? Poor parenting, Lie Rou, look at the fine daughter you’ve raised. A maiden of the esteemed Lie Family Mansion has brought shame on our family by mingling with the riffraff of the Mercenary Group," Lie Changshun put on an act as the head of the family, a look of deep sorrow on his face.
