Chapter 29 - Medicine Concocting Convention

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During the day, Ye Shu checked Mrs. Ye’s pulse.

As she watched her breathing stabilize, the frown on her face deepened. Even though the tendons and functions in her body had completely healed, Mrs. Ye was still unconscious.

It had been three days.

Ye Shu felt that it was strange and wanted to ask Ye Ting about it. However, he was still absorbing the spiritual energy in the cubicle, waiting for the opportunity to break through. It must be because the spiritual meridians had been blocked for many years, so when the seal was opened, it was unstoppable.

Ye Shu frowned. There was no problem with her medical skills. This could be seen from her mother’s speed of recovery. As for why her mother didn’t wake up, it was still debatable.

All of a sudden, Ye Shu thought of the Medicine Concocting Convention today. The Earth Elixir Fruit was going to be within reach. She narrowed her eyes.

Perhaps if she used this medicine to refine the Soul Returning Pill, she could wake her mother up.

——

The Medicine Concocting Convention was being held in the public square. There was a medicinal altar placed in the center, and people were coming and going like shuttles. All of them were the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful in the capital, and they were all discussing happily.

“The Medicine Concocting Convention is held every year. I wonder who will be the champion this year.”

“Isn’t it obvious?” The bystanders rolled their eyes and shook their heads helplessly. “Ye Shuang will win the championship again. In the past, she was always the most dazzling. Last year, she even managed to refine a 30% purity medicinal liquid. That scene stunned everyone!” When he spoke, the envy in his voice could not be concealed.

“That’s right. She’s the most beautiful woman in the capital. She’s only 18 years old, yet she’s already at the 9th stage of the Qi Cultivation Stage. She’s also very talented in alchemy. Tsk tsk, comparing her to others is really infuriating.”

Someone immediately reacted. “You mean…”

“Who else could it be other than that good-for-nothing? Let me tell you, I heard that Ye Shu is still a good-for-nothing in the third stage of the Qi Refinement realm, hahaha! I don’t know how she has the face to live in this world! Say, she’s also the first daughter of the Ye Residence, but why is there such a huge gap between the two of them?”

A noble lady covered her mouth and chuckled. “Don’t mention that useless person. How can she be compared to Miss Ye Shuang? Don’t ruin Miss Ye Shuang’s status.”

The others smiled and bowed in agreement. At this moment, someone cried out in alarm.

“It’s Miss Ye Shuang!”

Everyone turned to look, and they were all stunned. A beauty walked over slowly from not far away. Her eyes were beautiful and moving, and she looked even more gentle in her lake blue clothes. Her golden steps swayed, and when she smiled, it was like the wind blowing through the mountains. Lotuses bloomed with each step, and the bells on her waist rang.

She was like a person in a painting.

“I’m late.” Ye Shuang smiled lightly. Her eyes were bright and her voice was as pleasant as a mountain spring.

Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar. Those who had seen Ye Shuang before were stunned, while those who had never seen Ye Shuang before were even more so fixated on Ye Shuang’s face. Instantly, the crowd exploded.

“Is this Miss Ye Shuang? She’s so pretty!”

“I felt an even stronger spiritual force just now. Could it be that Miss Ye Shuang has broken through?”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Shuang in bewilderment. They vaguely remembered that the last time she broke through was in the third month of spring… Every stage of the Qi Refinement realm was like scaling a mountain. But in less than half a year, she had actually broken through again.

Ye Shuang smiled faintly, her eyes calm. “That’s right. I just broke through to the 10th stage of the Qi Refinement realm two days ago.”

The crowd instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. It was unknown who gasped.

This talent was too unbelievable…

While everyone was still in shock, the strong pressure of the Building Foundation Stage engulfed them!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. When they turned around and saw that it was Yuan Chen, they quickly knelt down and bowed in panic. They were all lifted up by an invisible force in the air.

He wore a purple-gold python robe and had a luxurious aura. His eyes were cold and handsome, and the aloofness in his eyes made people avert their gaze. However, he walked straight towards Ye Shuang and held her hand, melting the ice in his eyes that was filled with tenderness.

“Shuang-er, have you been waiting for a long time?”

Ye Shuang lowered her head like a young girl in love. Her cheeks were burning, but she smiled and shook her head. “Not long. You came at the right time.”

The man was handsome and the woman was gentle and lovely. They made for a really eye-catching couple. Everyone sighed in their hearts. As expected, the two of them were a perfect match. Wasn’t the engagement with the good-for-nothing meant to break up an affectionate couple?

“But I heard that the Third Prince has already annulled his engagement with that trash, Ye Shu. This is really a happy ending.”

“Ah! Really? Indeed, who would be willing to marry a useless person like her? Hahaha! The Third Prince is exceptionally talented. Only Miss Ye Shuang is worthy of him!”

“Isn’t that so? Miss Ye Shuang is a proud daughter of heaven! I heard that she was highly regarded by a second-grade alchemist from the Alchemist Guild last year. It’s very likely that she’ll be taken in as a disciple!” Everyone’s tone was filled with envy. The status of a person from the Alchemist Guild was so noble. To be able to become a disciple of the guild is a great fortune!

When Ye Shuang heard their compliments, her eyes flashed with pride, but she maintained a calm and modest look on her face.

When their words reached Yuan Chen’s ears, his lips curled into a satisfied smile. However, his expression remained cold as he said, “I have no intention of humiliating Miss Ye. It’s just that there’s a huge disparity between our abilities. A marriage is a matter of mutual affection. Anyone who doesn’t intend to do so can cancel the engagement.”

“Your Highness is right.”

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind..
