Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Dragon Saliva Needle

Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles is the signature skill that made Jade Hand Poison Master famous; it contains thirteen needles. According to the records in the Five Poison Treasure Record, the thirteen needles, combined with the body’s unique Eight Meridians and numerous life-and-death acupoints, each needle possesses its distinct power.

When Jade Hand Poison Master practiced the final needle of the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, he could achieve the terrifying power of killing a hundred martial artists within a radius of one mile in the blink of an eye.

Apart from the formidable prowess of Jade Hand Poison Master himself, a significant reason for this was the incredibly overpowering Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles.

However, to perform the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, one needs suitable needles as weapons in order to achieve a doubling effect of effort.

Earlier on, Ye Lingyue inquired in weapon shops and Juqi Tower in Qiufeng Town or Li City about needle-shaped weapons, but everyone was baffled. They had heard of embroidery needles and acupuncture golden needles but never of needle-shaped weapons.

Out of options, Ye Lingyue could only refine them herself.

Holding Dragon Saliva Iron with the right hand and a wooden dead vine with the left, Ye Lingyue controlled the Cauldron Breath inside the Qian Cauldron. Like a little snake, the Cauldron Breath drilled out, first entering the dead vine. All sorts of impurities within the vine were swiftly devoured.

The dead vine, which originally looked like a withered tree branch, turned into a branch as crystal clear and radiant as coral.

The Cauldron Breath further refined the branch until it became a medicinal liquid the size of a longan fruit.

After refining the wooden dead vine, Ye Lingyue began the more difficult task of refining the Dragon Saliva Iron Ore, with the Cauldron Breath drilling into the ore.

Under the influence of the Cauldron Breath, the stone on the surface of Dragon Saliva Iron Ore dropped off quickly like it was weathered, exposing the true face of the Dragon Saliva Iron. Dozens of drops of golden Dragon Saliva Iron Liquid floated in mid-air.

The next step was to merge the two liquids. Ye Lingyue controlled the Cauldron Breath to refine the wooden dead vine and Dragon Saliva Iron Liquid together.

However, the process of fusing the two fluids was more challenging than Ye Lingyue had anticipated.

The wooden dead vine was of the Wood Attribute, and the Dragon Saliva Iron was of Metal; the two differently attributed liquids repelled each other like two quarreling children who refused to blend together no matter what.

As time passed, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Power was considerably consumed, and drops of sweat kept falling from her forehead.

Artifact Refining was several times more difficult than Alchemy. No wonder in the Alchemist Association, only Third Rank Alchemists and above could perform Artifact Refining.

She couldn’t afford to fail whatsoever. If Artifact Refining failed, the Dragon Saliva Iron Ore and the wooden dead vine would be wasted. She wondered where she would find another piece of incredibly precious Dragon Saliva Iron Ore.

Biting her silver teeth determinedly, Ye Lingyue let out a sharp command.

"Merge!" The Cauldron Breath suddenly shook, and the previously somewhat fatigued snake-shaped Cauldron Breath, like an enraged small snake, suddenly opened its snake’s mouth wide and fiercely swallowed both substances in one gulp.

A flash of golden light shined, and the Dragon Saliva Iron Liquid fused with the wooden dead vine liquid, forming a golden liquid orb the size of a bullet.

Seeing the golden liquid orb, Ye Lingyue’s mind became completely settled.

She slowly controlled the Cauldron Breath, continuously kneading and forging the golden liquid orb. The impurities inside the liquid orb were constantly refined, shrinking smaller and smaller, ultimately becoming only as big as a fingernail.

Seeing that the fire was about right, Ye Lingyue proceeded to the final step, shaping.

After a full half-day, Ye Lingyue sat slumped on the couch like she had just been through a fierce battle. By her side, a golden Dragon Saliva Needle, as fine as a cow hair, had been added.

This was the Dragon Saliva Needle, Ye Lingyue’s first Artifact Refining creation, a fusion of wooden dead vine and Dragon Saliva Iron.

Looking at the solitary and somewhat pitiful Dragon Saliva Needle, Ye Lingyue had a lot of emotions running through her. It seems being an Alchemist is no easy feat; this first attempt at Artifact Refining almost cost her half her life.

If the Alchemists from the Alchemist Association were to hear Ye Lingyue’s lament, they would definitely be infuriated to the point of spitting blood.

Who doesn’t know that Artifact Refining is even harder than Alchemy? In the Alchemist Association, even the most talented Alchemists must reach the level of a Three Rank Alchemist before they can start Artifact Refining.

Moreover, for a normal Alchemist, out of the first ten attempts at Artifact Refining, eight or nine will likely end in failure. Unlike Ye Lingyue, who succeeded on her first attempt, and with the extremely precious Dragon Saliva Iron at that.

It really makes one envious, especially when a certain someone is content.

After consuming a Blue Pattern Xuanyin Elixir, and having meditated in the Hong Meng Heaven for a full two hours, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Power was finally restored.

Her quick recovery was thanks to possessing both the Blue Pattern Xuanyin Elixir and the Hong Meng Heaven; otherwise, even a Fifth Rank Alchemist from the Alchemist Association would need to rest for half a month before attempting their second Artifact Refining.

With a thought, the Dragon Saliva Needle hovered in mid-air; forged entirely with Cauldron Breath and her own spiritual power, it was far more agile than the previous Flying Dagger.

Ye Lingyue wanted to test the power of the Dragon Saliva Iron, so she went to the courtyard of the Ye Family.

Ye Huangxuan’s courtyard in Li City was divided into one large and six smaller yards.

After arriving at Li City’s Ye Mansion, the members of the Ye Family settled into different smaller courtyards. For the convenience of her Cultivation, Ye Lingyue chose the quietest courtyard, called Locust Flower Residence, where the white locust flowers were gone this season.

The courtyard had a covered walkway, and large locust trees were plentifully planted, with a small artificial pond and a heat work rockery made of several mountain stones. The locust trees grew dense and despite it being noon, the courtyard was still cool and shaded.

Ye Lingyue dismissed the servants and began testing the power of the Dragon Saliva Needle.

Her mind willed it, and the Dragon Saliva Needle silently floated in midair.

Unlike the Flying Dagger, the Dragon Saliva Needle was only as thick as cow hair; if one didn’t look carefully, it was nearly invisible.

Ye Lingyue aimed at a piece of the rockery. With a slight narrowing of her eyes, the Dragon Saliva Needle flew towards the rockery.

Flashing past, the incredibly hard rockery shattered like tofu, leaving rubble everywhere. If a person had been standing opposite, they would likely have been pierced with a through-and-through hole by now.

Moreover, the Dragon Saliva Needle was even smaller than the Flying Dagger, and controlling it only consumed one-tenth of the Primordial Power needed for the Flying Dagger. In a fight against a master, conserving even the slightest bit of Primordial Power could mean an extra chance at survival.

"Come back," Ye Lingyue thought with a hint of elation, ready to bring the Dragon Saliva Needle back.

Just then, the Dragon Saliva Needle floating in the air emitted a whistling sound akin to the wind, and abruptly split into three needles.

"What is this?" Ye Lingyue was taken aback. As her divine sense moved, the Dragon Saliva Needle merged back into one.

Could this Dragon Saliva Needle actually split itself?
