Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 370: Chapter 240: Mainland Rankings

After writing these characters, the scholar casually uttered a few spell incantations, and the talisman paper transformed into a red-crowned crane, flying into the azure sky.

The red-crowned crane soared above the clouds, flew over the Xixia Plain, crossed Beiqing, and reached the white snowy peaks of a tall mountain.

Atop the snowy mountain peak was a surreal and misty Immortal Palace.

Next to the Immortal Palace, the stars hung in the sky all year round.

A middle-aged man dressed in a white robe stood in front of a stone slab that stretched dozens of meters long, engraved with dense names - careful inspection revealed they were all personal names.

The red-crowned crane landed next to the man in white and gracefully transformed back into a piece of paper.

After looking at the paper, the man in white swept his hand, and an overwhelming spiritual power instantly inscribed the name ”Ye Lingyue” onto the stone slab.

The killing of Su Mu shook the Xixia Plain.

Ye Lingyue presented the accounts and handed over several key figures of the Jin Wu Sect, including the Jin Wu Wanderer.

The court quickly issued an Imperial Decree: General Su’s Mansion was to be razed, and the disciples of the Jin Wu Sect would be executed at the Dan Capital City Gate in half a month.

The court is in the process of selecting a new City Guardian General, set to arrive at Dan City soon. In the meantime, Ye Lingyue is temporarily in charge of managing Dan City’s garrison.

Ye Lingyue then ordered a thorough purge of the military forces in Dan City, decimating all of Su Mu’s loyalists and completely eradicating the influence of the evil alchemists within the city.

Order within the Alchemist Mansion gradually returned to normal.

After that day, Ye Lingyue carefully observed the Qian Cauldron and noticed that besides the one time it saved her during a crisis, there had been no more activity since then.

Nor did it transform back into the black Little Cauldron.

Several days later, while Ye Lingyue was busy in the Alchemist Mansion, Lan Cai’er rushed in like a headless fly, her face flushed with excitement.

”Ling Yue, you—you... Congratulations, you’ve made it onto the Alchemy List!”

Ye Lingyue was completely baffled by the mention of the Alchemy List.

Since arriving in Dan City, she too practiced alchemy personally, but in order to encourage the other alchemists in the mansion, Ye Lingyue herself only made elixirs two or three times a month at most.

”Is it the Alchemy List of the Imperial Hospital or the Alchemy List of the Alchemist Mansion?”

”What are you talking about, it’s not that Alchemy List, I’m talking about the Qing Province Elixir List! The Alchemy List that only Elixir Realm experts can be on.” As she said this, Lan Cai’er excitedly pulled out a cowhide booklet, flipping through it frantically, eventually finding a name on the nine hundredth-and-something page.

Ye Lingyue saw her name written conspicuously: Daxia Ye Lingyue, Elixir Realm Newbie, defeated Reincarnation Realm traitor Su Mu, ranked nine hundred and eighty on the Qing Province Elixir List.

Seeing Ye Lingyue still clueless, Lan Cai’er swallowed hard several times.

”This Alchemy List is set by the Tongtian Pavilion. On the Qing Province Continent, only Martial Artists under thirty years of age who are in the Elixir Realm qualify for the list. Those who make it on the list are the most talented geniuses with the greatest divine power in Qing Province. You’ve just broken through to the Elixir Realm and already made it onto the list, this is quite rare.”

Only then did Ye Lingyue understand what the Alchemy List was about.

Her killing of Su Mu was just a few days ago. The court’s reward of the Imperial Decree had not yet been issued, and already the Tongtian Pavilion had ranked her in their register - that was unbelievably fast.

Ye Lingyue became somewhat interested and flipped through the booklet that Lan Cai’er had.

Upon receiving the booklet, Ye Lingyue noticed that it was not made of ordinary paper but was crafted from special talisman paper. The text was not written with common ink but with spiritual power.

As soon as a Martial Artist’s strength changed on the mainland, the names in this booklet would correspondingly change.

Thus, although the booklet was not cheap, the price of one thousand taels of Gold was indeed justified.

The cover of the booklet read ”Qing Province Elixir List,” and in the bottom right corner were the words ”Tongtian Pavilion.”

Such a thousand-page booklet, on the mainland, with a selling price of a thousand taels of Gold, was truly as valuable as the Luoyang paper, an absolute luxury.

But for Martial Artists above the Elixir Realm on the mainland, it was essential for everyone to have a copy, simply because this booklet was published by the Tongtian Pavilion.

Regarding Tongtian Pavilion, Ye Lingyue had not heard of it until recently, which was due to her recent breakthrough into the Elixir Realm.

The name Tongtian Pavilion was the only one on the mainland that could rival the Underworld Yama Palace.

However, unlike the immense power of the Underworld Yama Palace, which spanned across many industries, the Tongtian Pavilion was located in an extremely concealed place, such that even the most informed intelligence agencies on the mainland did not know the exact whereabouts of Tongtian Pavilion.

Moreover, Tongtian Pavilion only engaged in one kind of business, which was the selling of the type of booklet that Ye Lingyue held in her hands.

It was unknown by what means, but as long as a new expert emerged on the mainland, there would definitely be a record in the booklet.

And the completeness of the information was almost eerily extensive.

Some say that this was because Tongtian Pavilion’s informants were spread across the entire Qing Province Continent, from toddlers as young as three to old people with one foot in the grave. As long as one was a person, they could possibly be an informant for Tongtian Pavilion.

This also allowed Tongtian Pavilion to grasp as much information as possible about the Qing Province Continent in the shortest time.

After hearing Lan Cai’er’s explanation, Ye Lingyue gained a rough understanding of the origins of Tongtian Pavilion and became even more interested in the Qing Province Elixir List.

She saw that there were a full one thousand people listed, each name unfamiliar, with only ten from Daxia Country.

The Qing Province Continent was where Daxia was located, a fact that Ye Lingyue had previously read about in the Daxia Chronicles.

Numerous powerful countries stood on the mainland, with over a hundred nations. Middle-rank countries like Daxia had few experts within.

However, a major country like Beiqing had as many as one hundred people listed.

But the largest number came from the Martial Artists of the Elixir Realm within various Sects. Just counting them, the Hunyuan Sect alone had over a hundred Elixir Realm experts listed.

Thus Ye Lingyue’s appearance on the Qing Province Elixir List meant that among the youngest generation of Elixir Realm experts within Daxia Country, she could rank in the top ten.

”I’ve been at the Elixir Realm for so long, and I still haven’t made it onto the Qing Province Elixir List. The highest ranking Elixir List Martial Artist from Daxia was previously Hong Mingyue. Before her breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm, she was ranked third on the Elixir List,” Lan Cai’er cautiously remarked.

Although she did not like Hong Mingyue personally, Lan Cai’er had to admit that Hong Mingyue was a prodigy.

At just thirteen years old, she had already reached the eighth place on the Qing Province Elixir List, a feat that allowed her to look down on all her peers within Daxia Country.

Third place?

A heaviness settled in Ye Lingyue’s heart, and her gaze shifted subtly.

Only after obtaining the Elixir List did Ye Lingyue realize how vast the gap between herself and Hong Mingyue truly was.
