"Tsk tsk, I really didn't see you for three days. Unexpectedly, you actually gave birth to the soul of the cauldron, and your natal jade tripod transformed into a grade jade tripod. In this way, your position in Qiyun Castle will soar into the sky, and it is even impossible to become an inner disciple with the identity of an alchemist."

Shaking his head, Qin Yao immediately asked, "By the way, I had met Hongfu before, she was holding ten tiger bone pills in her hand. Could it be that they were all from your hands?" Qin Yao stared at Yu Ming in surprise.

Yu Ming smiled slightly and nodded undeniably.

Immediately, Qin Yao and her close maid all took a breath.

"I didn't expect that in just ten days, you have refined so many tiger bone pills..."

Qin Yao's head lowered, and after a moment of thinking, she exhaled and said, "Now, with four days left, Mo Ziqiao will come to urge her to ask for debts. Yu Ming, how many tiger bone pills have you accumulated in your hand?"

Yu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "Not many, only four." Speaking of which, Yu Ming only refined fifteen tiger bone pills in one night, including ten Hongfu to heal Yu Zhixiu. The remaining five were taken by himself, and there were still four left.

"What, there are only four tiger bone pills?"

Hearing this, Qin Yao couldn't help but open his eyes, "How can this be done? The value of the third-grade bone tempting pill is quite expensive, and at least thirty or forty tiger bone elixirs can be offset. Now, with four days left, you must refine more than thirty tiger bone elixirs to successfully repay the debt... The task is so arduous that it is impossible to complete it!"

Qin Yao thought for a moment and shook her head repeatedly.

"Yu Ming, I think you should accept my funding first, just treat it as I borrowed it from you. After you overcome this difficulty, you can refine the alchemy and make money and repay it slowly." Qin Yao sighed and spoke out again.

In Qin Yao's impression, an ordinary alchemist can refine three or four tiger bone pills in a whole day. This requires a high success rate to ensure output.

A junior alchemist like Yu Ming needs to refine more than 30 tiger bone pills in the remaining four days, which is simply an impossible task.

After all, Yu Ming's alchemy skills are not outstanding and cannot be compared with the alchemy master.

"Sister Qin, I think you're over-thinking. To be honest, I can refine more than a dozen tiger bone pills in one night, which is not the time for meditation and practice." Yu Ming smiled slightly.

Qin Yao and her personal maid couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't believe it in their eyes.

"What, you can refine more than a dozen tiger bone pills in one night?"

Qin Yao shook her head and said coldly: "Yu Ming, I know you are stubborn by nature, but this alchemy, like cultivation, requires steady progress and gradually improve your skills. No one can make rapid progress in a short period of time."

The quirky personal maid couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Yu Ming couldn't help but suffocate his breath.

It seems that Qin Yao mostly regarded his words as self-boasting.

In desperation, Yu Ming immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Sister Qin, I want to tell you that there are miracles in this world. Since you say that alchemy is the same as cultivation, it is impossible to make rapid progress in a short period of time, then I will let you have a good experience."

As he said that, Yu Ming stood in the house, twisted his waist suddenly, exerted force, and punched—

Pang!!

The fist wind whistles and the air blew. The strong fist force gives people a great sense of impact.

"This is the power of nine stones? Oh my God, you have actually broken through again and entered the peak realm of inner strength!"

"Tsk tsk, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it even if I hadn't been beaten to death."

Qin Yao opened her mouth and her face was stiff.

The personal maid not far away also looked surprised.

They couldn't believe that Yu Ming in front of them was a mediocre person not long ago, but now he has made continuous breakthroughs and has become a peak expert in inner strength! He is definitely the best among his peers in Qiyun Castle.

"Yu Ming, I did not misread you. Your future potential is definitely above Mo Ziqiao and me." Qin Yao looked at Yu Ming as if she had received a treasure, "Okay, since you are unwilling to accept my funding, I will not let it go. I look forward to the scene that shocks the audience four days later."

With a slight smile, Qin Yao reached out to dust off Yu Ming's shoulders, then called out a maid and said goodbye directly.

After leaving the room, Qin Yao and his maid strolled on the bluestone road. The maid, who had always been weird, became very excited and chattered endlessly.

"Senior Sister Qin, how could that Yu Ming make such rapid progress? It's really hard to believe it."

When the maid thinks of Yu Ming’s amazing performance in alchemy and cultivation, she feels very moved.

"Everyone has his own secret. We should be pleased to win over Yu Ming in time." Qin Yao smiled slightly, and moved her lotus steps with her maid. In a blink of an eye, she slowly left. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of a girl faintly brought a faint fragrance.

...

A small courtyard is located in a bamboo forest in the northwest corner of Qiyun Castle.

There are three or two peach trees and willow trees planted in front of and behind the house. There is a well in the courtyard. The well water is refreshing and delicious all year round. There has never been smoke from the kitchen on the south side. It is also surrounded by bamboo forests and is quite isolated from the world and does not smell like fireworks on earth.

The owner of this small courtyard in Xianting is Yu Zhixiu, the fifth elder of Qiyun Castle.

Since he was unfortunately widowed and was infected with cold poison, Yu Zhixiu has been depressed all year round and has been regressing instead of advancing. Now, he relies on elixirs to prosper.

I don’t know when it started, rumors about Yu Zhixiu began to flow around the crowd. It was said that Yu Zhixiu’s fate was so strong that she had her husband killed. In the Qiyun Castle, she was just a false reputation, was excluded, and had no real power... and so on, and so on, such words became more and more intense. Yu Zhixiu was still quite calm on the surface, but in her heart, she seemed to be stabbed by sharp silver needles, feeling heart-wrenching pain.

In desperation, Yu Zhixiu built a small courtyard in a remote corner of Qiyun Castle, surrounded by bamboos. Unless there is something important to discuss, Yu Zhixiu would never take a step forward.

Due to his introverted personality and depressed will, the maids and servants around Yu Zhixiu were also driven away one after another. Only when delivering meals every day will maids come quietly. Every time they enter the house, they will place three or two plates on the table in the living room and leave quietly.

Yu Zhixiu's illness has penetrated into the bone marrow and has a long life with elixirs. He has a very small appetite. Sometimes he never eats a grain of rice in three or two days. At first, the maid was quite concerned, but after a long time, he became accustomed to it.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong

In the room, Yu Zhixiu was wearing a nightgown and laying on the bamboo bed on his back, breathing weakly and looking pale. At first glance, it looked like a living dead person.

"Fu'er, come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Zhixiu slowly opened her eyes and sat up with support.

For a long time, only Hongfu and Yu Ming would come to visit her frequently. Yu Ming was straightforward and often called Yu Zhixiu at the top of his throat as soon as he entered the courtyard. Only Hongfu would knock on the door softly.

Hongfu pushed the door and suddenly saw Yu Zhixiu's pale face. He immediately exclaimed, hurriedly approached and touched Yu Zhixiu's forehead, "Master, are you okay? Your face is so bad..." As he said that, he hurriedly burned a towel with heat and handed it to Yu Zhixiu.

Yu Zhixiu's face was pale. If you look closely, you would be surprised to find that the surface of her skin was covered with a thin layer of frost. This was a symptom of the cold poison in her body, which had penetrated into the internal organs and began to overflow from the body.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to cure such a disease. Unless an immortal descends to earth and gives golden elixirs, there will be a glimmer of hope.

"Fu'er, I'm not seriously injured, you don't have to worry."

After coughing gently, a warm smile appeared on Yu Zhixiu's beautiful face.

"Master, the cold poison in your body has occurred so severe this time. If this continues, the consequences will probably be unimaginable. I think I'd better go out and ask for medicine quickly."

Hongfu bit her teeth, and tears flashed in her eyes, "If it really doesn't work, I'll kneel in front of the lord's door and beg the lord to pay for your illness. If he doesn't agree, I will never get up." Hongfu's teeth bite, and a hint of perseverance appeared in her tears.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhixiu couldn't help but sigh.

Looking for a doctor and asking about medicine?

If a disease like Yu Zhixiu is spent on all the family savings among wealthy families, there may be a possibility of curing it. However, in Qiyun Castle, there is no chance at all.

To cure the cold poison in Yu Zhixiu's body, it requires extremely high-quality magic pills. Even if you exhaust the financial resources of Qiyun Castle, you may not be able to succeed. Moreover, Yu Zhixiu is just an elder without real power, and it is not worth doing this at all.

"Fu'er, don't mess around."

Shaking his head, Yu Zhixiu said softly: "Actually, I have also thought about it over the years. It doesn't matter to me if this cold poison is not cured well. However, I always feel guilty when I think about it. You are weak and sick, and suffer from "dead wood disease". The situation is not optimistic than me. If I leave, I am afraid your life will be even more difficult."

"And my miserable nephew, whose family is ruined and helpless, and with mediocre talent, if he doesn't even have my only relative, I don't know if he can hold on..." As he was lowly, Yu Zhixiu's soft face showed a hint of anxiety.

"Don't worry, Master. The young master has now entered the state of inner strength and has become an outer disciple!" Hongfu hurriedly exhaled, his eyes shiny.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhixiu was shocked and stared at Hong Fu in a daze, unable to believe his ears, "What? Fu'er, are you saying that my unsatisfied nephew has become an outer disciple?" As if he heard a huge good news, Yu Zhixiu's lips couldn't help but stutter.

Hong Fu smiled slightly, pinched Yu Zhi's trembling jade hand, and repeated word by word: "Master, you heard it right. The young master has become an outer disciple, and... he has also nurtured an exclusive cauldron soul, which has improved the quality of his natal jade cauldron!"
