Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1508: Chapter 568: Forbidden Medicine

Sold out?

Ye Lingyue pointed at the elixir bottles displayed on the counter.

”What are these then?”

”These are reserved by other guests. In Huangquan City, not just anybody can buy the Soul-breaking Elixir from Liu Guang Pavilion.”

Upon saying that, the demon hunters beside Ye Lingyue began to mock her.

”Look at yourself, thinking you can consume the Soul-breaking Elixir refined by Lord Dongfang.”

”Anybody should stop embarrassing themselves by entering Liu Guang Pavilion.”

”How rude!”

Little Wuya listened and waved her small fists.

”Forget it, Little Wuya, don’t argue with people who are not in their right minds.”

Usually boisterous, Guangzi was wary and pulled Little Wuya back.

These men went into a frenzy at the mention of Lord Dongfang, appearing somewhat abnormal.

He glanced worriedly at Ye Lingyue, and from her eyes, he could tell Sister had also noticed the anomaly.

The women had no choice but to leave Liu Guang Pavilion.

”Bah, such a big deal, it’s just a Breaking Elixir, we don’t need it at all.” Senior Sister Wan Yun spat as she exited Liu Guang Pavilion, ”Ling Yue, why do you want to buy that elixir, only to be ridiculed?”

”Just curious, after all, costing fifty Merit Points each, you know I’m greedy.”

Ye Lingyue laughed awkwardly, without revealing anything.

Because of the encounter at Liu Guang Pavilion, they lost interest in browsing and returned to the inn.

Back at the inn, Bo Qing and the others hadn’t returned yet, and Guangzi took the opportunity to find Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue was holding that Heart Execution Grass, frowning, lost in thought.

”Ling Yue, did you also discover there’s something wrong with that Soul-breaking Elixir?” Guangzi noticed some irregularities concerning the elixir too, ”Heart Execution Grass, how do you have such a thing? Quickly put it down, it’s toxic, if used too much, it becomes addictive, it’s a forbidden herb!”

Guangzi jumped at the sight of the medicinal grass Ye Lingyue held.

”You know about Heart Execution Grass? Seriously, Guangzi, where did you learn all your medical skills and pharmacology knowledge from?”

Ye Lingyue shifted her gaze from the Heart Execution Grass to Guangzi’s tense face.

”Oh dear, my stomach suddenly hurts, I must have eaten something wrong at lunch.” Guangzi’s face turned pale as he bolted.

Here we go again, every time his origins are brought up, Guangzi escapes in all sorts of ways, like clockwork.

Unexpectedly, she just wondered whose Heart Execution Grass it was in the morning, and found out by afternoon that Liu Guang Pavilion purchases it secretly.

Or more accurately, the one in Liu Guang Pavilion, Dongfang Tianxian.

Is she truly a Heavenly Immortal... or a viper?

Soon after, Bo Qing and the others returned.

Upon entering, Bo Qing and the others didn’t look pleased.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed the water jug in Ye Lingyue’s room, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

The teapot in Ye Lingyue’s room was filled with Huangquan Water, refreshing and thirst-quenching.

”How did the task go?”

Ye Lingyue asked, and Qin Xiaochuan paused.

”Don’t mention it, it makes me mad to even talk about it. We just arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire about the task, only to find out that as soon as the task was published, it was snatched away.”

Bo Qing and the others went early, but every time, regardless of the merit point value, as soon as they were posted, someone grabbed them, specifically targeting ours.

By the end of the day, eyes were tired from watching, and they hadn’t accepted a single task.

”We are being targeted.”

Bo Qing bluntly stated.

Qin Xiaochuan spit out the water he was drinking.

”We’re being targeted?”

”...”

Bo Qing rolled his eyes, this slow-witted one finally realized.

No wonder he’s still in the dark about Guangzi’s true identity.

Even task links are targeted?

Ye Lingyue understood internally, looks like the situation Luo Qianche mentioned did happen.

Others hit her first, forcing her to seek out Luo Qianche.

At night, Ye Lingyue took the initiative to visit Luo Qianche, catching her by surprise.

After all, in her eyes, her relationship with Ye Lingyue hadn’t reached a level where they could bond wholeheartedly.

But clearly Ye Lingyue didn’t plan to open up either.

”I want a Soul-breaking Elixir, whether by purchase or otherwise,” Ye Lingyue straight to the point.

Luo Qianche was taken aback.

”I heard that Huangquan Team met a closed door at Liu Guang Pavilion today. I’ve warned you, be cautious of Dongfang Liuli, opposing her in Qiyu City won’t end well. I have Soul-breaking Elixirs, but it’s inconvenient to give you any.”

The Shui City Team indeed used Soul-breaking Elixirs, and a team member witnessed Ye Lingyue’s rejection firsthand today.

The news spread quickly with wings, reaching far and wide among Qiyu City representative teams.

There’s even talk that the Huangquan Team offended Dongfang Tianxian, meaning anyone thinking to ally with Huangquan Team will be blacklisted by Liu Guang Pavilion.

Thus, Bo Qing and the others were affected when attempting to accept tasks at the City Lord’s Mansion.

”One hundred Merit Points.”

Ye Lingyue casually mentioned.

Whether the Heart Execution Grass within the Soul-breaking Elixir was harmful needed confirming.

”No way. As the team leader of Shui City, I’m responsible for overall safety, the supply aspect regarding Soul-breaking Elixirs requires a strategic approach.”

Luo Qianche hesitated for a moment.

Her previous antagonism towards Ye Lingyue had faded.

Yet she couldn’t provide Soul-breaking Elixirs still.

”After consuming Soul-breaking Elixirs, don’t you experience initial ample Primordial Power, then after about a month, suffer fatigue, drowsiness, and unease without consumption?”

Ye Lingyue suddenly shifted her tone.

”How do you know? It’s due to Evil Qi pollution. The Evil Qi in the Central Plains intensifies. Without Soul-breaking Elixirs, demon hunters in Qiyu City can’t function optimally.” Luo Qianche shared her own experiences of adjustment, hence purchasing them too.

While expensive, each only lasts for two weeks, and with twenty members, Shui City Team needed one thousand Merit Points monthly solely for elixirs.

Shui City’s financial standings are limited, they find this expense difficult to sustain.

Loss of the elixirs would greatly impact fighting abilities, leaving Luo Qianche grappling.

”How about this, the previous offer plus an additional piece of demon beast meat. You’re familiar with my specially prepared demon beast meat.”

Ye Lingyue displayed a well-preserved piece of demon beast meat.

Luo Qianche raised an eyebrow, recalling the enjoyable taste of the one cooked by Ye outside the city that day.

Even as a City Lord, Luo Qianche hadn’t experienced such savory demon beast meat before, imprinting a lasting impression.

Afterwards, she learned it was prepared by Ye Lingyue.
