Chapter 10: Alchemy Genius

"Master, this medicine cauldron is called the Ruyi Cauldron. It counts as a high-grade spirit artifact. Whatever medicinal herbs you need, Ling'er can find them for you in an instant!" The little fellow was quite smug.

Xuanyuan Yinyue nodded, thinking to herself that with this ring spirit, it would be much more convenient for her to find things.

After having Ling'er take out five sets of materials for refining the Guiyuan Pill, which increases spiritual energy, Xuanyuan Yinyue prepared to leave the spirit ring. Seeing that Xuanyuan Yinyue was about to leave, Ling'er was very reluctant; he looked at Xuanyuan Yinyue with pitiful eyes, putting on a tearful expression.

Xuanyuan Yinyue was left speechless by his teary gaze and had no choice but to say, "You can come out if you want, but you must wear clothes!"

Upon hearing this, the little fellow immediately beamed with joy, and a black brocade robe identical to Xuanyuan Yinyue's instantly appeared on his body.

Once out of the spirit ring, the little fellow happily rolled back and forth on the soft couch. Having not been out for ten thousand years, he had been bored to death.

Xuanyuan Yinyue couldn't be bothered to manage him. After placing the Ruyi Cauldron on the ground, she snapped her fingers, and a streak of fiery red flame immediately emerged from the tip of her index finger.

Following the prescription recorded in the Wanxiang Treasure Tome, Xuanyuan Yinyue attempted to refine the Guiyuan Pill for the first time.

Her talent for alchemy was quite good. Although she made a mistake during the final refinement on her first attempt, she succeeded smoothly on the second.

If any alchemist were here, their jaws would surely drop, because Xuanyuan Yinyue's talent for alchemy was more than just "quite good"—it was heaven-defying! No one had ever been able to refine a Guiyuan Pill on their second attempt!

When Xuanyuan Yinyue successfully refined the second Guiyuan Pill, her projected spiritual sense keenly detected someone approaching.

Having Ling'er take the medicine cauldron back into the spirit ring, Xuanyuan Yinyue immediately exited the inner chamber.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Che was still sleeping, and Feng Qin was watching over him by his side.

"Feng Qin, take Che'er into the inner room."

Feng Qin nodded hurriedly and carried Xuanyuan Che into the inner room.

As for Xuanyuan Yinyue, she sat calmly at the Eight Immortals table and picked up some snacks from the table to eat.

Less than five minutes later, Xuanyuan Liuyue's extremely arrogant voice came from outside the palace.

"Bitch, this Princess is here to visit the Imperial Elder Sister. How dare you block me?!"

"Second Princess, please forgive me. It is the Emperor's order that no one is allowed to enter and disturb the Eldest Princess while she is in confinement!"

"Hmph, the order given by the Imperial Father was aimed at those miscellaneous people. I am the Imperial Elder Sister's own younger sister; it is only natural for a sister to visit her sister!" Xuanyuan Liuyue shouted.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'! You dog slave, if you know what's good for you, get out of my way immediately, or I will surely break your dog legs!" Xuanyuan Liuyue threatened, then barged directly into Xuanyuan Yinyue's palace.

As soon as Xuanyuan Liuyue entered, she shouted loudly, "Imperial Elder Sister, I've come to see you."

Xuanyuan Liuyue charged in recklessly; where was there even a shred of the self-awareness one should have when visiting a woman who had just given birth?

When Xuanyuan Liuyue entered the outer room of the inner palace, she immediately saw Xuanyuan Yinyue eating.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yinyue, Xuanyuan Liuyue immediately put on a hypocritical smile and sat down beside her. "Imperial Elder Sister, why are you out of bed so soon? You must complete the full month of confinement, otherwise, you will be left with chronic illnesses."

Xuanyuan Yinyue simply ignored her and continued eating as if no one else were there.

"Imperial Elder Sister, where is that little bastard you gave birth to? Is he a fool just like you? Why don't you bring him out for your sister to see?" Xuanyuan Liuyue smiled charmingly, but that smile was laced with poison.
