Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 968: Chapter 28: Exclusive Trade

After teaching a lesson to those arrogant Outer Sect disciples and saving the disciple with the severed arteries, Ye Lingyue calmly passed through the crowd.

The elixir pills of Master Tan Yi had indeed been tampered with by her, though she hadn’t expected it to be taken by someone so severely injured.

Fortunately, she used Cauldron Breath to preserve the person’s life.

Ye Lingyue was someone who never let grudges go lightly; this meant that those who offended her would never be forgiven, but the innocent would not be dragged into trouble.

Ye Lingyue’s goal for coming to Moon City today was only half-complete, with the other half just beginning.

It was already past midday, with about four hours until dusk.

This timing was right after lunch, so while the crowd wasn’t huge, there were some who were coming out for the late market.

Ye Lingyue figured she should think of a way to earn some Spirit Stones.

As she strolled along, seemingly aimless, she was in fact observing the various shops within Moon City.

The items for sale in Moon City were diverse, including materials, finished products, weapons, and clothing. At first glance, it seemed similar to typical markets on Qing Province Continent.

But upon closer inspection, there were some differences.

After all, this was the Moon City within the Lonely Moon Sea, and even items sold by ordinary disciples were of a higher grade than those Ye Lingyue had seen in any market, even the Earth-level auctions in Treasure Pavilion.

Ye Lingyue had planned to sell elixirs or spirit plants from Hong Meng Heaven, but that thought was also dismissed.

The only thing on her that might have a market in Lonely Moon Sea’s Moon City was probably the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag.

But Ye Lingyue had just arrived and had infiltrated as a miscellaneous servant; her first sale couldn’t be so blatant.

Just as Ye Lingyue was furrowing her brows in distress, a martial artist happened to pass by, and her gaze fell on the sword at his waist...

Her eyes lit up, and without another word, she found a street corner and took out a piece of cloth, a bamboo pole, and ink and brush from the Qiankun Life Bag. She quickly wrote some large characters, set it up nearby, and waited for her first business transaction to come.

In Moon City, people were coming and going, and Ye Lingyue didn’t call out for customers. The only thing attracting attention was that piece of cloth hanging to the side.

But most people didn’t spare a second glance.

Until a somewhat familiar female warrior passed by Ye Lingyue.

This female disciple was the horse-faced female warrior who had previously sold medicinal herbs.

After selling out her herbs, she was packing up to leave and happened to see Ye Lingyue setting up a stall there.

Recognizing Ye Lingyue, the horse-faced female disciple paused, curious about what Ye Lingyue was selling. Her gaze first fell on Ye Lingyue’s face, then on the sign next to her, which read:

”Professional Renewal and Restoration, Fee: One to Five Spirit Stones.”

The horse-faced female disciple was surprised; she had visited Moon City many times and seen various things for sale, but never anyone offering renewals.

”Little girl, when you say renewal, what kind of things are you renewing?”

The female disciple asked casually.

”Oh, it’s you, senior sister. Anything can be renewed, from weapons to hair accessories to armor; as long as it’s a Spiritual Artifact, I can renew or restore it within fifteen minutes. The fee varies with difficulty. Since you helped me earlier, I’ll give you a fifty-percent discount if you have something for me to restore.”

Ye Lingyue recognized the female disciple as well and replied with a smile.

”Really anything can be renewed?”

The female disciple thought for a moment and then took out an old hairpin from her chest. It looked like it had been used for many years, with the decorative flower on it encrusted in a thick layer of metallic grime.

This hairpin held extremely special meaning for the female disciple, so although it was old, she couldn’t bear to dispose of it.

In the past, she had sought others to restore it, but those artifact refiners always said that renewing it would damage the surface of the hairpin, and she didn’t want that, so it had been put off.

With a rare opportunity to meet Ye Lingyue and considering the modest fee, the disciple was tempted again and handed over the hairpin.

”See if you can restore it to its original state without damaging it; otherwise, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

Ye Lingyue accepted the hairpin and, after examining it, found that the seemingly unremarkable hairpin was actually forged from Nirvana Iron infused with Merfolk Tears, making it an Earth-grande top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

She quickly set aside her joking demeanor and used Cauldron Breath to thoroughly examine the structure of the hairpin. With a flick of her hand, the Gray Fire heated the hairpin.

At the same time, Ye Lingyue controlled Cauldron Breath to swiftly purify the grime on the hairpin.

The horse-faced female disciple watched anxiously, afraid Ye Lingyue might mistakenly damage the hairpin. But to her surprise, Ye Lingyue’s unassuming Gray Fire gradually removed the dirt accumulated over years from its surface.

Like a Bright Pearl covered with dust for years, the hairpin’s original appearance was revealed.

Ye Lingyue put away the Gray Fire, and her peripheral vision caught sight of some small characters engraved at the base of the hairpin.

”To Wan Yun, with love from Liu Yu.”

It seemed this hairpin was a gift from this senior sister’s loved one?

Just as Ye Lingyue was about to hand the hairpin back, the horse-faced female disciple hurriedly reached out to snatch it, holding it with such a grip as if it were her lifeline, her voice trembling lightly.

”It’s really... really restored, and the words are all intact.”

She repeatedly caressed the seven characters with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

”Senior sister, that’s one Spirit Stone. Your item is an Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact, and advanced ones cost two Spirit Stones to renew. I’ll give you a fifty-percent discount, so you only need to pay one Spirit Stone.”

Ye Lingyue waved her fair little hand in front of the horse-faced female disciple.

Without a word, the horse-faced female disciple took out two Spirit Stones from her pocket and gave them to Ye Lingyue.

”I’ll pay you the original price; you’ve helped me a great deal. What is your name?”

Realizing her excess emotion, the female disciple carefully put the hairpin away and looked at Ye Lingyue with newfound respect.

Even those Artifact Refining Masters in the sect didn’t dare to renew a hairpin like this, and Ye Lingyue managed it effortlessly. To the horse-faced female disciple, Ye Lingyue was more than just an ”Outer Sect disciple.”

”My name is Ye Lingyue. Senior sister, I’ll be setting up a stall here every month. If any of your fellow disciples need renewals or repairs, feel free to refer them to me. The material costs went unsaid, but I’ll offer a fifty-percent discount for everything.” Ye Lingyue nonchalantly accepted the Spirit Stones and made sure to add a final pitch.

After all, all she needed was some Gray Fire and Cauldron Breath, which she could replenish with a bit of meditation — truly a business with no capital requirement.

The horse-faced female disciple committed the name ”Ye Lingyue” to memory, nodded, and then left Moon City.
