So it turns out that from the center of Ye Zifeng's palm, there was a long and clear line of blood on his forearm. If someone who didn't know what was going on saw this, they would definitely think that he had contracted some strange disease.
He waved his arm around and tried to adjust his breathing. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. However, he couldn't make the line of blood dim down at all. Also, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't use the martial spirit's ability. He didn't know if there was a prerequisite for it.
"Let's not talk about how to use the martial spirit. This line of blood is too obvious. I can't just ignore it."
He calmed his heart and wanted to use the same method again to communicate with the Ghostly Shadow Martial Spirit. But this time, the Dreamy Gloomy Swamp area in his consciousness was empty. There was nothing there. He could only give up resentfully and return to his senses.
"It seems like I'll have to wear long sleeves in the summer …." Ye Zifeng sighed.
… …
Right when he was thinking about this, a series of footsteps came from outside.
Ye Zifeng could already guess who it was from the footsteps. It was Ye Xueyi.
"Brother Zifeng, this pill isn't fake. Is this really a huang tier Golden Marrow Pill?" This was the first thing she said when she came in.
Ye Zifeng nodded, "I told you a long time ago. You didn't believe me."
"It can't be …" Ye Xue Yi's face was full of surprise, her pretty face was full of surprise.
"Impossible. Impossible. Could it be that you really stole some alchemist's bag of pills? "In the end, she still didn't believe that Ye Zifeng could concoct pills. Not to mention a huang tier Golden Marrow Pill.
She had just gone to the elixir store to buy medicinal ingredients and wanted to use this inferior Gold Marrow Pill to offset the cost of the medicinal ingredients. Who would have thought that the shop assistant would ask her to wait and call the owner of the elixir store to evaluate the quality of the pill. In the end, the owner appraised it and confirmed that it was indeed a yellow-grade Gold Marrow Pill. Thus, when Ye Xueyi bought the ingredients, the store owner didn't charge her a single cent. Instead, he gave her an extra 30 gold coins.
"Only 30 gold coins?" Ye Zifeng coldly smiled as if he wasn't satisfied with the store owner's actions. All the ingredients cost around 20 gold coins and a huang tier golden marrow pill can be sold for around 100 gold coins. If the store owner wasn't blinded by greed, then he must be looking down on the people of the Ye clan.
"Thirty gold coins isn't too much? Brother, two years ago, you fought with me for ten coppers, and after you lost, you cried for half a day. " Ye Xue Yi said with a smile. She did not pay a single copper and earned 30 gold coins for nothing. Naturally, she was in a good mood.
On the other hand, Ye Zifeng felt a headache coming on. The trash Ye Zifeng from two years ago wasn't that young anymore. How could he fight over copper coins with his own sister? And the most important thing was that he lost. This was simply too shameful. He was trash to the core.
"Alright, let's not talk about the past …"
Ye Zifeng awkwardly smiled. This trash Ye Zifeng's past was a dark history that he didn't want to talk about.
He sighed slightly. Suddenly, he glanced at the bag of medicinal herbs that Ye Xue Yi had brought. His expression immediately brightened. "Have you prepared all the medicinal herbs that I asked you to buy?"
"Of course. Take a look and see if you're missing anything."
Ye Zifeng muttered to himself, "Oh ….. Even though the quality is a bit lacking, at least I'm not missing anything. I can start concocting the golden marrow pill now."
Hearing that he was about to start concocting the pill, Ye Xueyi couldn't help but look at him. Seeing how serious he was, she felt that he really did look like an alchemist. Where was the cowardly trash Ye Zifeng from before?
"Xueyi, Xueyi, come out!"
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door of the woodshed.
"Listen to this voice, it's Mother …" Ye Xue Yi's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to react, a well-dressed woman with a stern face had already broken through the door. From the looks of it, she seemed to be quite angry.
The beautiful looking woman was called Tang Feng. She was Ye Xueyi's mother but not Ye Zifeng's. This was because Ye Zifeng and Xueyi were half-siblings.
"Mother. You're here." Ye Xueyi stuttered. She snuck out of the Ashen Spirit Sect today and knew that she was weak.
"Hello Madam Tang ….." Ye Zifeng smiled and bowed. As a trash, Ye Zifeng's memory had almost completely recovered.
Tang Feng looked at Ye Zifeng with a strange expression on her face. Normally, Ye Zifeng wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of her. How come he wasn't scared at all and even came over to greet her?
Tang Feng coldly snorted and looked at Ye Xueyi, "How many times have I told you? Xueyi, your talent is not bad. You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't interact with this trash anymore. I've tried my best to persuade you but you just won't listen."
She didn't hold back at all. She called Ye Zifeng a trash right in front of his face. This had become a habit.
Ye Xueyi stuttered, "Mother, brother isn't trash."
"You're not allowed to call him brother!" Tang Feng coldly sneered, "If he isn't trash, then who in Leizhou City is? Also, I heard that this trash's brain got kicked by a donkey. He actually wants to concoct pills. Hehe. Other than furnace slag, what else can he concoct? I've already told the master not to waste ingredients but he's getting old. He actually arranged for people to buy ingredients for him. What a joke. What do you think? "
Ye Xueyi wanted to explain but was interrupted by Tang Feng.
"Oh right. I was just about to say something. If it wasn't for the gatekeeper, Xiao Wu, who told me, I wouldn't have known that you secretly bought so many medicinal herbs. Xueyi, why are you getting more and more stupid as you grow older? The Ye Family is not the same as before. Although these medicinal herbs aren't expensive, it's still not a small expense. You can't learn from your father and throw money into the river! "
Ye Xueyi finally found an opening and said, "Mother. I didn't pay for the ingredients. It's the huang tier golden marrow pill that brother just concocted. "
Tang Feng was startled. She looked at Xueyi and then at the furnace slag.
"Huang tier golden marrow pill? How is that possible? "
Ye Xueyi nodded and said in a serious tone, "It's a real Huang Grade Golden Marrow Pill. I sold it to the owner of the pill store and not only did he let me take the whole set of ingredients for free, he even gave me an extra 30 gold coins.
As she spoke, she took out a small pouch and poured all the gold coins into the corner of the table.
"Look. It's all here."
No more and no less. Exactly thirty gold coins.
Tang Feng's eyes widened and her expression changed. Thirty gold coins is not a small amount. It's enough for her to live for a month. Furthermore, Xueyi didn't seem like she was lying to her.
"I understand ….."
She let out a dry laugh and glared at Ye Zifeng, "You stinking brat. Tell me the truth. Where did you steal this pill?! Don't offend a passing master for a small profit and bring disaster to the Ye clan. "
"I concocted it myself." Ye Zifeng replied.
Ye Xueyi stood in front of Ye Zifeng, "Mother, I was thinking the same thing as you. But, brother was locked up in the woodshed. Where could he go? He really did concoct it himself." Stealing the pill was not a small matter. If Tang Feng reported this to the higher-ups, Ye Zifeng might get beaten up.
Tang Feng coldly looked at her, "Then let me ask you. Xueyi, did you see him concoct it with your own eyes? Maybe he stole it before he entered the woodshed? "
"I ….." Ye Xueyi was startled and didn't reply.
However, she quickly opened her mouth, "But mother, it's been so many years. It's not like you don't know what kind of person brother Zifeng is. Normally, he stays in his house and doesn't go anywhere. He's scared of everyone. How could he have the guts to steal a pill from an esteemed master?"
Tang Feng thought about it and felt that what Xueyi said made sense. At this moment, she didn't have any confidence anymore.
"He didn't steal it. Could it be that the pill fell from the sky and he just happened to pick it up?"
She coldly laughed and continued, "Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. Xueyi, return the ingredients to the store first. If the store owner doesn't want to return them, then you can come back and find mother. I'll go with you."
"Mother ….. Why are you in such a hurry to return the ingredients? Just trust brother Zifeng this once." Xueyi pulled Tang Feng's hand and begged.
"You!" Tang Feng was slightly angry. It was rare for Xueyi to talk back to her like this in the past.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Trust me or not. I'll concoct another batch ….. "
Tang Feng coldly looked at him, "You're right. If you concoct another batch of slag, how am I supposed to return the ingredients to the store?"
"Xueyi has thirty gold coins right? If I can't concoct the pills, then I won't take any of it. From now on, I'll never concoct pills again."
Hearing this, Xueyi was startled, "How can I do that? I'll only take a few coppers for the trip. Thirty gold coins isn't a small amount. How can I have it all?"
Tang Feng fiercely glared at her, telling her not to say anything.
She smiled, "Who would've thought that you, Ye Zifeng, would treat money like dirt. Your courage has increased quite a bit. Alright! I'll believe you just because you said that you'll never concoct pills again! "
Ye Zifeng's casual words turned into a vow. Tang Feng was quite scheming.
However, Ye Zifeng didn't mind. He was a peak heaven tier alchemist. If he can't even concoct a Qi Refining stage pill, then he doesn't need to continue concocting pills.
"Madam Tang, if I'm lucky enough to concoct a Golden Marrow Pill, then I hope that you can keep this a secret."
"Alright. I promise." Tang Feng looked at him deeply. Although she didn't know what he was planning, she wouldn't lose anything if she kept it a secret, so she agreed to it.
After Ye Zifeng finished speaking, he didn't argue. He quietly poured the ingredients into the cauldron and lit up the cauldron …..
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the cauldron emitted a fragrant aroma.
Tang Feng was startled but in the end, she just coldly snorted.
An hour later, a purple qi started to form on top of the cauldron. This was the sign that a top grade pill was about to be concocted.
Tang Feng couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up from her chair. She walked over to the cauldron and looked at it.
"Sit back down. Don't get in my way when I'm concocting the pill." Ye Zifeng coldly frowned. Tang Feng was intimidated by Ye Zifeng's aura and was forced to sit back down. When she sat back down, she felt that something was wrong. Why did she listen to this trash?
After an hour, the cauldron's flame slowly died down. The temperature of the cauldron also started to calm down.
Ye Zifeng let out a long sigh and looked at Tang Feng, "The pill is done. Do you want me to open the cauldron or do you want me to?"
Tang Feng gulped and opened her mouth, "I'll do it." At this moment, she felt that something was wrong.
She walked over to the side of the cauldron and carefully opened the lid.
At the same time, a golden light filled the entire room. It was so bright that no one could move their eyes away.
Tang Feng's expression froze. Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't say anything. She stared at Ye Zifeng as if she had never seen him before.
In the end, Ye Xueyi was mentally prepared. She suppressed the shock in her heart and spoke for Tang Feng.
