Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 877: Chapter 746: The Battle for the Red Bead Nine-leaf Grass

”Valley Master, your words are not quite right. Do you think the materials in my storeroom are just street stall goods? As long as they have enough eye power and enter my storeroom, they can find suitable materials. This time selecting materials, to put it bluntly, is just a test. To become my disciple, one must be bold and meticulous. Half of the materials are equivalent to the tuition they pay.”

Sifang City Lord said meaningfully.

He would naturally not tell the Three-Life Valley Master that the materials in that storeroom were all left behind by many previous candidates who participated in past World’s First Refining competitions, including some failed semi-finished products.

The World’s First Refining has been held many times, and these materials and semi-finished products are not rare for the Sifang City Lord.

But if they were casually discarded, it would seem a pity. Given the Sifang City Lord’s laid-back personality, he simply had everything piled up in that storeroom.

The items inside are all priceless treasures, of course, provided that those who enter are able to discern them.

Time flowed backward, returning to the moment Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao just entered the storeroom.

Ye Lingyue, having gained Yun Sheng’s insight during surgery, insisted on entering the storeroom.

Upon stepping into the storeroom, Ye Lingyue, Feng Xun, Long Baobao, and Little Wuya were met with a rotten, musty smell.

Unlike the bright outdoors, this storeroom appeared dim and dry.

The four found themselves in a storeroom much larger than Ye Lingyue had anticipated; the ground was relatively orderly, but inside, the items were quite cluttered.

The walls were decorated with several ancient Pine Oil Palace Lamps, emitting a dim light that made the scenes inside the storeroom clearly visible.

This was a rectangular, north-south oriented storeroom.

The entire storeroom is divided into three sections, about the size of three or four Martial Arts Training grounds.

At first glance, the first section held a large amount of beast skins and beast bones.

The second section contained a multitude of unprocessed ores and spirit cores.

As for the third section, it was the largest and contained the most items, ranging from armor, swords, and boots—mostly some failed semi-finished products.

Judging by the refining techniques, they differed greatly, likely not crafted by the Sifang City Lord.

In Ye Lingyue’s view, these spiritual artifacts were mostly left behind by some contestants who had failed in previous World’s First Refinings.

This three-section storeroom, if truly cleaned, might take half a month to organize, not to mention recognizing and categorizing everything clearly.

After Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao roughly identified the items in the storeroom, they decided to split up and begin searching for the materials each needed.

Though most of these materials, because of their age, were like Bright Pearls covered with dust, with the help of Cauldron Breath, Ye Lingyue could roughly discern the true components of these materials just by a casual touch.

Discovering was shocking indeed.

Ye Lingyue found that the Sifang City Lord’s storeroom was truly remarkable.

The materials in this storeroom were an eye-opener for her.

The Nirvana Iron, one of the mainland’s three renowned irons, was casually thrown on the ground, with four or five pieces, all of good quality, only needing a bit of purification to be usable.

The top-grade water attribute refining material, Merfolk Tendon, was tossed aside like a hemp rope.

Even the Phoenix Tail Feather that Ye Lingyue thought she wouldn’t find was in the corner of the wall.

Though a bit dirty, cleaning them wouldn’t affect their use.

After several hours of searching, Ye Lingyue had found all the materials she needed.

As for Long Baobao and Little Wuya, they were still buried deep in their search.

Glancing at the Time Hourglass, there was still more than half the time before the six-hour limit.

Seeing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures left lying around like trash, Ye Lingyue understood why the Sifang City Lord had confiscated everyone’s storage bags earlier.

With the quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the storeroom, even if someone privately stashed a few away, the Sifang City Lord wouldn’t know.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue’s heart stirred.

Though her Qiankun Purple Gold Bag was confiscated, she still had a much more formidable great weapon—Hong Meng Heaven.

Ye Lingyue chuckled wickedly. If opportunity knocks, one shouldn’t turn it down.

She had just subdued the Three-legged Birdmen, who lacked weapons and armor. Many spiritual artifacts here just needed some secondary processing to be equipped.

And those materials, once purified, were top refining materials.

Ye Lingyue gleefully collected, and shortly after, many semi-finished spiritual artifacts and some materials of good quality were transferred into Hong Meng Heaven.

In an instant, another hour and more passed, and Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao had been in the storeroom for four to five hours.

Aside from them, no one else entered, but Ye Lingyue was unconcerned.

She walked over to Long Baobao.

”How is it going? Have you found all the materials?”

”Still missing one thing.” Long Baobao’s little face was still covered in dust, looking somewhat dejected.

”What are you missing?” Ye Lingyue asked, puzzled.

Though she had deep friendship with Long Baobao, Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao had a mutual understanding not to ask each other what spiritual artifact they were refining for this final trial.

Both were quite gifted in Artifact Refining, and while their friendship was deep, a sense of healthy competition still existed between them.

They both wanted to see who ultimately would create the spiritual artifact that could win the World’s First Refining’s top prize.

”Missing one Red Bead Nine-leaf Grass.”

Long Baobao scratched his head, looking troubled.

”Is it this one?” Ye Lingyue took out her materials.

It was quite coincidental; the spiritual artifacts they were refining both required the Red Bead Nine-leaf Grass.

Unfortunately, the storeroom had only this one dried Nine-leaf Grass, which Ye Lingyue had already found.

”You take this.” Ye Lingyue handed the Nine-leaf Grass to Long Baobao without hesitation.

”I can’t, Sister Yue, I already owe you so much. Last time, the Four Directions Token was also given by you. This time, I can’t take your Nine-leaf Grass again.” Long Baobao shook his head like a rattle.

If he knew Ye Lingyue needed this material for her spiritual artifact, he would not have spoken up earlier.

”Just take it; think about it, if you can’t refine your spiritual artifact, the Long Family and your grandfather won’t be saved.”

Ye Lingyue pushed the Nine-leaf Grass into Long Baobao’s hand.

”But without it, Sister Yue, what about your spiritual artifact?” Long Baobao bit his lip.

”There’ll be a way; let’s keep looking; there’s still about an hour left, maybe I’ll find something new.”

Ye Lingyue said, her bright eyes scanning the storeroom.

She knew very well she was just offering comforting words to Long Baobao, as she had already searched most of the storeroom and certainly wouldn’t find another Nine-leaf Grass.
