"Bro, what's this?" Ye Ziyan asked as she saw An Meihui leave and looked at the bag in Ye Xiao's hand.

Ye Xiao gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll know when we get back."

Although Ye Ziyan was a bit puzzled, she didn't ask further and went back with Ye Xiao.

"By the way, why didn't I see Luo Xin today? Where did she go?" Ye Xiao asked as they walked.

Ye Ziyan said, "Big sis went out with Miss Xia and Miss Fang; they probably went to the night market."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao laughed upon hearing Ye Ziyan's words and said, "They have quite the leisure time, but why didn't you and Cheng Yun go?"

"We were supposed to go, but Sister Yun said she wanted to go to the internet cafe to play League of Legends and rank up to Diamond, so I joined her," Ye Ziyan said. "Besides, I don't need to buy anything."

Ye Xiao checked the time; it was already past ten.

"Looks like League of Legends has really conquered a lot of young folks," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Ye Ziyan said, "A game that becomes popular has its reasons. League of Legends has always been popular because it's a competitive game based on technical skill."

Indeed, reaching a certain rank is definitely not something money can accomplish; your own skills must be solid.

Before long, they arrived back at their residence.

"Do you know where Zhou Hao's other herbs are placed?" Ye Xiao asked Ye Ziyan.

"Probably in big sis's room," Ye Ziyan said as she changed into slippers.

Ye Xiao walked to the living room, casually placed the bag on the coffee table, and took out his phone to call Wang Luoxin.

Now that the Red Dragon Fruit and Spiritual Dargon Fruit were secured, he could officially refine the Dragon Blood Strengthening Pills as soon as he obtained the other precious herbs sent by Zhou Hao.

Thinking about the heavenly effect of the Dragon Blood Strengthening Pills, Ye Xiao felt an exhilarating thrill.

Before long, the call was connected.

"Ye Xiao?" Wang Luoxin answered the phone and said, "What's up?"

"When are you coming back? I need the herbs Zhou Hao sent," Ye Xiao said.

"In about twenty minutes, we're planning to head back now," Wang Luoxin said.

"Great!" Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile.

The call was disconnected.

Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Bro, how did it go?"

"About twenty minutes!" Ye Xiao said.

Ye Ziyan looked at the bag and said, "What's inside? Are they herbs too?"

Ye Xiao directly unzipped the bag, revealing five curvy, long items resembling slender sweet potatoes.

"Are these sweet potatoes?" Ye Ziyan looked at the contents of the bag and felt puzzled. Moreover, these sweet potatoes were a blood-red color, with the other two being pale red.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "These aren't sweet potatoes. The blood-red ones are called Red Dragon Fruit. The juice inside is so hot that if you pour it directly onto paper, it can set the paper ablaze."

"Huh?" Ye Ziyan was amazed upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. She didn't expect the sweet-potato-looking items to be so formidable. With a surprised expression, she asked Ye Xiao, "Bro, what's their purpose?"

"To refine rare medicines," Ye Xiao said.

At the mention of rare medicines, Ye Ziyan became excited. She suddenly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Bro, you really are amazing."

Hearing Ye Ziyan's praise, Ye Xiao immediately smiled with pride and said, "Of course, who do you think your brother is? Alright, I'm going to my room first. There are some low-level herbs inside, and I'll turn them all into Heart Cleansing Pills and Qi Gathering Pills."

Heart Cleansing Pills! Qi Gathering Pills!

These pills, which used to feel particularly mysterious and high-level to Ye Ziyan, were described by Ye Xiao as made from low-level herbs. Furthermore, if Ye Xiao so desired, and with enough herbs, it seemed he could refine countless pills.

This is what it means to be an Alchemist!

A Martial Artist profession that's all about showing off and style!

"Oh, okay!" Ye Ziyan said.

Ye Xiao subsequently grabbed the bag and headed to his room.

Meanwhile, Ye Ziyan stayed in the living room watching "Boonie Bears!"

After entering his room, Ye Xiao casually tossed the bag containing the Red Dragon Fruit and Spiritual Dargon Fruit to the side, then approached the Azure Dragon Tripod.

Currently, the Azure Dragon Tripod was under Ye Xiao's bed. If the old folks of the Qiu Mountain Sect knew, they'd be furious.

The Azure Dragon Tripod is a miraculous treasure, and yet Ye Xiao casually placed it under his bed—such disrespect!

However, Ye Xiao didn't see it that way. To him, the Azure Dragon Tripod wasn't a sacred object but simply a pure alchemy furnace for refining pills.

In just over twenty minutes, Ye Xiao had freshly refined three Qi Gathering Pills—or rather, three high-quality Qi Gathering Pills!

The efficacy of any given pill entirely depends on its quality. The Qi Gathering Pills refined from the Azure Dragon Tripod were undoubtedly top-notch.

Moreover, with the Azure Dragon Tripod, the time needed for alchemy, True Qi requirements, and quantity all changed dramatically.

At this moment, Ye Xiao heard the voices of two women outside.

"Isn't it childish to still be watching 'Boonie Bears'?" Wang Luoxin said to Ye Ziyan.

Ye Ziyan replied earnestly, "The opposite of childish is mature, and maturity is the expression of an adult acting rationally and handling things appropriately. It's not about watching a cartoon or a vulgar comedy making you childish. If you judge everything with such a mindset, then the whole world is childish."

Ye Xiao was in the room when he heard Ye Ziyan's response, and he almost burst out laughing. This girl really knows how to apply what she just learned.

"Where did you learn all this crap? You've got a whole set of theories! It's practically heresy!" Wang Luoxin couldn't help but laugh.

"Learned from me!" Ye Xiao walked out of the room at that moment.

Wang Luoxin looked up at Ye Xiao emerging from the room and said, "I knew it, it must be you. Ziyan, don't follow Ye Xiao's lead, no good can come of it."

"Why not?" Ye Xiao immediately said with some dissatisfaction, "Also, from now on, you should call my sister Ziyan, the 'yan' as in 'beautiful' not 'yan' as in 'flame'.

"Sister?" Wang Luoxin felt like her mind had come to a halt upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, struggling to process, "Since when did Ziyan become your sister? And how do you know her name? You two?"

Wang Luoxin's face was full of suspicion as she spoke.

Ye Ziyan, fearing that Wang Luoxin might misunderstand, quickly explained, "Big sister, I've recognized Ye Xiao as my god-brother, so now he's my brother, and..."

"And what?" Wang Luoxin said, "Don't tell me you're also giving your body to this jerk."

"What kind of thoughts do you have?" Ye Xiao immediately said, "I've already said, we're god-siblings, how could anything like that happen? Your mind is too filthy."

"Uh!" Wang Luoxin said with a bitter smile, "But how did you become god-siblings, is there a story behind it?"

"If you have to say there's a story, then it's that Ziyan's full name is now Ye Ziyan!" Ye Xiao chuckled.

"You came up with it?" Wang Luoxin asked.

Ye Xiao smiled proudly and said, "Of course."

"You're so despicable, that's a form of forcible mentality!" Wang Luoxin said with a serious face.

But at this moment, Ye Ziyan also spoke up.

Ye Ziyan looked at Wang Luoxin and said earnestly, "Big sister, I really like the name Ye Ziyan."

Wang Luoxin was a bit stunned for a moment.

Ye Xiao looked at Wang Luoxin and said, "I suppose now you should hand over the herbs to me, I'm waiting to do some refining."

Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao, then again at Ye Ziyan, suddenly having a peculiar feeling in her heart.

"Wait!" Wang Luoxin then directly walked into her room and soon came out with a small combination safe!

"What the hell does this mean?" Ye Xiao looked at the small combination safe!

Wang Luoxin shook her head and said, "How would I know? Zhou Hao said the herbs inside are very precious."

"He really is quite cautious." Ye Xiao said, "Okay then, what's the code?"

"Zhou Hao's birthday!"

Ye Xiao took the small combination safe and directly walked into his room.

Watching Ye Xiao leave, Wang Luoxin then turned to Ye Ziyan and said, "Ye Ziyan, come with me, we need to talk."

Ye Ziyan hesitated for a moment at Wang Luoxin's words but ended up following her into the room.

Ye Ziyan closed the door behind her.

Wang Luoxin told Ye Ziyan, "Sit down and talk!"

Then the two sat on the edge of the bed.

Ye Ziyan seemed a bit nervous at that moment, something she had never felt before in front of Wang Luoxin.

And the more this was so, the more it confirmed Wang Luoxin's thoughts.

"You've fallen for Ye Xiao!" Wang Luoxin suddenly said softly.

When Wang Luoxin said this, Ye Ziyan's body shook, then she quickly looked up at Wang Luoxin and said, "No... no!"

"My seventh sister wouldn't lie to me." Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Ziyan and continued, "You've decided to suppress your feelings, sacrificing your emotions, so tell me, why is that?"

"Big sister, it's really not true!" Ye Ziyan lowered her head.

Looking at Ye Ziyan with her head down like a child who had been caught doing wrong, Wang Luoxin suddenly had a moment of clarity!

"For me!" Wang Luoxin suddenly said.

Ye Ziyan's body shook again.

Ye Ziyan didn't speak, but Wang Luoxin already understood.

Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Ziyan and said, "Ziyan, my dear sister, you should strive for your own happiness, there's no yielding in love, and besides, whether or not there's anything between me and Ye Xiao is still uncertain, so you don't need to..."

"Big sister, don't say anymore." Ye Ziyan suddenly lifted her head, then looked at Wang Luoxin, putting on a forced smile and said, "Now I have a brother, you should be happy for me!"
