Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1116: Chapter 176: Specially Appointed Spiritual Pattern Master

”Wait!”

Ye Lingyue’s eyes sharpened.

As she spoke, the pair of Heaven and Earth Bracelets on her wrist emitted a buzzing sound.

The Power of Heaven and Earth surged out from her body, forming an imposing force along with her shout.

Those seasoned Martial Artists suddenly felt as if they had been punched in the chest, their blood churning, forcing them to take a step back, intimidated by Ye Lingyue’s aura.

The Manager was also taken aback, never expecting that a mere servant from the City Lord’s Mansion could possess such cultivation.

Looking at her now, gone was the earlier humility, replaced by the sharpness of a treasure sword.

The Manager couldn’t help but reconsider his earlier judgment.

”Manager, I asked for your appraisal nicely, so why accuse me of theft?” Ye Lingyue questioned the Manager, her gaze icy.

”This Spirit Sword, whether in its forging technique or spiritual patterns, clearly comes from Master Zhou’s handiwork. All of Master Zhou’s Spiritual Artifacts are exclusively from Cold Mountain Inn. Selling his Spiritual Artifacts to Cold Mountain Inn, how is that not theft?” The Manager glanced at the Spirit Sword and argued forcefully.

”Now I understand. To determine if it’s stolen, you should invite Master Zhou to come. However, if it turns out not to be stolen, your Cold Mountain Inn owes me an apology.”

Ye Lingyue finally understood, though she didn’t blame the Manager.

Indeed, the sword and its spiritual patterns were the work of Master Zhou, but it was not stolen.

Soon, Master Zhou arrived upon hearing the news.

The moment he saw the Spirit Sword in the Manager’s hand, he looked shocked.

”Isn’t this the Waste Sword I discarded earlier? Little girl, did you restore the spiritual patterns on it?”

Master Zhou excitedly snatched the sword and meticulously inspected it with spiritual power.

Upon inspection, he discovered that the fractures in the spiritual patterns caused by his earlier negligence were miraculously repaired, and the spiritual power of the sword was identical to that of a typical spiritual-patterned Spirit Sword.

Generally speaking, repairing a Waste Sword is extremely difficult, and even if it is repaired, the Spirit Sword loses much of its value.

Ye Lingyue nodded.

Master Zhou was overjoyed. He thought for a moment and took out two pieces of Intermediate Spirit Stone.

He had previously agreed with Ye Lingyue that if she could carve spiritual patterns, he would pay her the same as Si Xiaochun.

”These two Spirit Stones are the reward for fulfilling my promise. Additionally, I would like to hire you as my special Spiritual Pattern assistant. If you assist me in repairing damaged spiritual patterns, Cold Mountain Inn will pay you ten Spirit Stones as compensation per month.”

Master Zhou had never encountered someone new who could perfectly repair spiritual patterns, so he broke Cold Mountain Inn’s precedent by hiring a servant without the Power of Reincarnation directly as an assistant.

His words caused envy among the Artifact Refiners at Cold Mountain Inn and the Manager.

It was known that Master Zhou was the most formidable Spiritual Pattern Master at Cold Mountain Inn, famous even in Huangquan City, with high standards. Over the years, only Si Xiaochun from the City Lord’s Mansion and now Ye Lingyue had earned his admiration.

”I’m sorry, Master Zhou, I cannot accept your request.”

Ye Lingyue accepted the Spirit Stones, but to everyone’s shock, she refused outright.

”What, are you dissatisfied with the reward? You should know that the material and Spiritual Artifact wastage while a Spiritual Pattern assistant before becoming a formal Spiritual Pattern Master is extremely high. Although ten Intermediate Spirit Stones is not much, it covers all your expenses during learning.”

Master Zhou sighed inwardly, thinking Ye Lingyue was too young, seeing only the reward and not the long-term benefit.

”No, your offer is reasonable. But currently, I am still employed by the City Lord’s Mansion. Until a month passes, I am not free to accept your employment.”

Ye Lingyue replied with a smile.

”How much is the City Lord’s Mansion paying you?”

Upon hearing Ye Lingyue refused because of the City Lord’s Mansion, Master Zhou was displeased.

The decline of the City Lord’s Mansion was known throughout Huangquan City. Besides Si Xiaochun’s refusal to become a Spiritual Pattern Master because of the City Lord’s Mansion, now Ye Lingyue’s rejection made Master Zhou even more frustrated.

”One Intermediate Spirit Stone. However, regardless of compensation, integrity is fundamental. Since I am employed by the City Lord’s Mansion, I should see it through. If Master Zhou doesn’t mind, I can sell Spiritual Pattern Spiritual Artifacts to Cold Mountain Inn at market price in the future.”

Ye Lingyue expressed interest in spiritual patterns.

Repairing spiritual patterns on worn-out Spiritual Artifacts was just her first step; she was more interested in carving spiritual patterns directly after Artifact Refining, earning more.

However, she hadn’t retrieved her Qiankun Purple Gold Bag yet, so she was temporarily managing.

”How commendable to hold ’integrity is fundamental’. It’s rare to find such a person in today’s Huangquan City. You’re called Ye Lingyue, correct? From now on, you’re a special Spiritual Pattern assistant at Cold Mountain Inn. You’re free to receive some discarded Spiritual Artifacts, and if you repair one, Cold Mountain Inn will repurchase them at two Intermediate Spirit Stones each. Additionally, if you encounter anything unclear on spiritual patterns, feel free to consult me.”

Master Zhou felt a myriad of emotions hearing this, recalling his own lesser character at Ye Lingyue’s age.

This child, so young yet possessing such temperament and talent in spiritual patterns, would undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future.

With Master Zhou’s assurance, Ye Lingyue’s first-money making plan was complete.

She calculated that simply by repairing spiritual patterns, she could sustain Cauldron Spirit for a month.

Thus, Ye Lingyue continued mending spiritual patterns while secretly exploring the secrets of the rockery at night.

However, she was a bit frustrated that no matter whether it was during the day or using Primordial Spirit Emergence at night, she couldn’t find any clues on that mysterious rockery.

She even tried asking Si Xiaochun, but clearly, he had no extra thoughts regarding the rockery.

During this time, Ye Lingyue heard no more strange sounds from the rockery. If Cauldron Spirit and she hadn’t heard it so clearly that night, she might have thought it had never happened.

Fortunately, this past half month wasn’t entirely unproductive.

Ever since practicing the Divine Silkworm Technique, she frequently went out at night to strengthen her Primordial Spirit.

Unknowingly, half a month passed.

That night, Ye Lingyue had just finished repairing a Spiritual Artifact’s spiritual patterns.

As in the past half month, she practiced the Divine Silkworm Technique briefly and then used Primordial Spirit Emergence, intending to go for another night exploration.

”Tonight, let’s visit the garden again.”
