The man was dressed in a golden velvet black robe. Because of the mask, half of his face could not be seen clearly. It only showed a beautifully curved lip and a long narrow eye.
The man's cherry-colored lips curved and his long black hair cascaded down his shoulder, making it look like his body was taller. There was also an indescribable wild air around him.
With just one look, one could easily recognize that he was dangerous, and yet he still had a charming vibe to him.
And though the man had been standing there for a long ti, his presence was like a mist. No one noticed his existence.
He had seen Ye Lingyue and Squeaky's interaction, but no one knew whether his remark referred to Ye Lingyu or Squeaky.
The man then disappeared, as if he never existed in the first place.
The incident of the vicious dog soon ca to pass. Ye Lingyue was full of joy after she had cured the dog, for that would an that the Qian cauldron could cure diseases!
But then Ye Lingyue understood sothing.
Immortal Hongng was superb with anything dical, but she noticed that he did not leave any acupuncture techniques in his letter. He recorded so cases that he wanted to treat, but couldn't do so since the cauldron breath was too weak against it.
If she could cure the dog, then did that an she could also treat other people? For example, her mother's injury!
With that on her mind, Ye Lingyue's heartbeat sped up. She could not wait to go back to Qiaochu Wing.
Ye Lingyue made an excuse to use Aunt Liu as an experint. But to her disappointnt, when she tried to put the cauldron breath into Aunt Liu, she could only see a vague shadow.
There were still so differences between the human body and the canine body.
It seed like the cauldron breath was still a little weak. It might be a few more months before the cauldron breath could see through the human body.
Ye Lingyue was a little discouraged. She only had one thought in her mind and that was to speed up her cultivation.
Few days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Lingyue had delivered another batch of green-wood fruit within that ti fra. Summing up how much she had earned from before, Ye Lingyue had four to five hundred taels of silver on hand.
With the amount of money she had, Ye Lingyue bought so herb seeds and fruit seeds in the dicinal shop. The variety of herbs in Hongng Sanctuary was gradually becoming plentiful.
During mornings, it was the best ti to absorb dark energy.
Ye Lingyue sat cross-legged on the bed, and the Dark Yin Jade hung in front of her chest.
The Dark Yin Jade sucked all the elentary force from the sky and earth and turned it into wisps of black breath. Those breaths were the dark energy Ye Fengyu ntioned before.
When a martial arts practitioner reached the fifth level of body tempering, they would gradually absorb the dark energy separating the sky and earth. After it had entered the body, the dark energy would gather in the veins and cleanse the eight channels of the body. When these channels were fully opened, it would an that one had broken through from the body tempering realm to the Postnatal realm.
It would take five or even ten years for an ordinary martial arts practitioner to reach this level.
But since Ye Lingyue had the Gathering Elental potion with her and was now in possession of the Dark Yin Jade, she would naturally get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating.
Relying on the Dark Yin Jade, a lot of pure dark energy entered bit by bit into Ye Lingyue's body, slowly washing her body's eight channels.
With a bang, it opened one channel.
"Body tempering, level six." Ye Lingyue opened her eyes. Now that the first channel on her body had opened, the elentary force in her body also increased by a few notches thus enabling her to break through to the sixth level of body tempering.
Ye Lingyue jumped out and the rooster crowed three tis outside.
Walking to the yard, Ye Lingyue did a set of Broken Thunder Fist. Her punches were like rolling waves, each punch splitting the air in the dark.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
With a shout, she punched, swept her legs, and used her strength. Her punch hit the rockery beside her like a lightning bolt.
Her punches pulverized the rockery, and soon powder fell to the ground.
"Six lightning bolts. I finally completed the Broken Thunder Fist."
Ye Lingyue nodded. Even if she were to go against Ye Sheng although she was still on the sixth level of body tempering, she would still win using the six lightning bolts of the Broken Thunder Fist.
After doing a set of fist techniques, Ye Lingyue noticed that her consumption of elentary force dwindled. Hence, she used this opportunity to practice Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade until the break of dawn.
"Since the appearance of the cauldron breath, my cultivation and recovery speed of elentary force greatly accelerated. This Qian cauldron is worthy of being the most precious treasure Immortal Hongng left." After breathing out slowly and wiping the sweat on her forehead, there was a faint flush on Ye Lingyue's face.
The sll of food floated out from the dining room.
Ever since moving to the eastern estate, Ye Lingyue received better treatnt. She was still growing, so Ye Fengyu ordered the kitchen to prepare enough food.
Besides, Ye Lingyue had been secretly putting so Gathering Elental potion into her mother and Aunt Liu's food.
Their bodies grew stronger without them knowing. Even old Aunt Liu was in good spirits in the past few days and it cured even her old ailnts.
After breakfast, as Ye Lingyue was preparing to go to the stone house, she saw Aunt Liu gloomily looking at Qiaochu Wing's account book.
Ye Fengyu and her daughter had idle characters, so it was her that managed the accounts instead.
"Aunt Liu, is there sothing wrong with the accounts of Qiaochu Wing?" Ye Lingyue went over.
"No, since moving here, we've had regular allowances. But Little Miss, in a few days, it will be the master's fifty-fifth birthday. We should prepare a birthday gift." It worried Aunt Liu it seed.
Ye Gu's birthday was an enormous event in the Ye family. Before, when Ye Fengyu and Ye Gu were in a stalemate, Ye Fengyu never once attended nor needed to prepare a gift.
But it was different this year. Little Miss did well in the competition and was working in the quarry. The Master valued Little Miss and everyone knew that. Aunt Liu did not want Ye Lingyue to suffer any grievances if ever they didn't co up with a birthday gift.
Life beca better after they had moved to Qiaochu Wing, but their allowance was just enough for daily expenses and the monthly salary of their servants. As for the things in Qiaochu Wing, they were all worthless and were not fit as gifts for the Master.
"I see. Aunt Liu, you don't have to worry about it. I've already prepared a gift for Master, so you don't have to fret over it." As soon as Ye Lingyue heard her sentint, she assud the responsibility of finding the perfect gift so Aunt Liu would not worry too much.
