Ye Qingshuang: You Say My Pills Are Trash?

On the street corner, a young figure ran over quickly, looking very anxious.

Upstairs, Ye Yu watched the person arrive and let out a faint smile.

"I remember this person is the Crown Prince of the Wu Dynasty. You want to lure him out?" Qin Ruoxian said next to Ye Yu.

Ye Yu looked at Qin Ruoxian in surprise.

Feeling Ye Yu's gaze, Qin Ruoxian pouted and said, "I'm not stupid."

"Not entirely. Whether Wu Lei comes or not is irrelevant. Of course, it's best if he does. If he doesn't, Liu Ruyan won't have a good ending either," Ye Yu chuckled.

"I remember when you were Crown Prince, you had a good relationship with him. Why are you plotting against him now?" Qin Ruoxian asked, somewhat confused.

Liu Ruyan is not a kind person. Once she latches onto someone, it's no joke.

Ye Yu had planned all this just to get Wu Lei involved with Liu Ruyan.

"That was when we were in Great Yan. The Wu Dynasty wasn't a neighboring country, so we had to appease them. But now, I am the Imperial Son-in-law of Great Qin, so I naturally have to consider you," Ye Yu said gently, looking at Qin Ruoxian.

Qin Ruoxian's face immediately turned red, but she nodded, understanding the implications.

They were not just cultivators, but also royalty. Sometimes, they would overlook matters of the court due to their cultivation.

"Liu Ruyan is now alone and helpless. Wu Lei is the Crown Prince of Wu. She will naturally cling to this big tree and not let go. If the Crown Prince is immoral, the court will surely be in chaos. Then we can march our troops and take down the Wu Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Ye Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he grinned.

"Alright, rest well. The secret realm opens tomorrow. Get some good rest," Ye Yu patted Qin Ruoxian's head and lost the mood to watch the show. He turned and left.

Back in his room, Ye Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, suppressing the spiritual energy within him.

The small cauldron absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth at a speed much faster than a Saint Spiritual Root.

After more than half a month, the spiritual energy accumulated within Ye Yu was enough for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, Ye Yu was not confident about condensing a high-grade Nascent Soul yet, so he had been suppressing his spiritual energy and slowing down his cultivation speed.

Early the next morning, news arrived that the spatial storm around the periphery of the secret realm was gradually subsiding and about to dissipate.

The next moment, streams of light shot up from Bianhuang City, heading straight for the center of the barren land. The once bustling Bianhuang City returned to its desolate state.

In the center of the barren land, visible black spatial rifts could be seen, from which endless storms blew out, but they were much smaller than in the previous few days.

And at the center of the spatial rift, a halo of light could be clearly seen. That was the passage into the secret realm.

At this moment, the periphery was filled with people, all factions maintaining a tacit distance from each other.

Looking at the halo of light, Ye Yu inexplicably felt a sense of unease. He reached out and took Qin Ruoxian's small hand, whispering, "I feel something is wrong. Stay close to me later."

Qin Ruoxian nodded sweetly.

Liu Ruyan, watching them from not far away, gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could tear Ye Yu and the other apart. But she knew her strength was insufficient.

"Sister Ruyan, I have a way to improve cultivation speed. Do you want to try it?" Ye Xuan, seeing Liu Ruyan's expression, guessed her thoughts and immediately spoke.

"Little Brother Xuan, are you serious?" Liu Ruyan's eyes widened.

Ye Xuan glanced around, then secretly took out an ancient book from his embrace and handed it over. The book was clearly titled, Blood Refinement Great Method.

Ye Qingshuang, standing by, did not notice their small actions. Her gaze was fixed directly on Ye Yu, her expression somewhat complicated.

Because the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty had made Ye Yu take a detour, she had only just arrived at Bianhuang City. Upon arrival, she had rushed here immediately and hadn't had a chance to speak to Ye Yu yet.

"It seems I'll have to find you to talk properly after we enter the secret realm," Ye Qingshuang muttered to herself, then withdrew her gaze.

But the next moment, a change occurred. After the spatial storm weakened, the passage began to emit dark green miasma, which spread out with a strong, fishy smell.

The cultivators who were too close were contaminated by the miasma, letting out a series of shrill screams, and then their entire bodies instantly dissolved into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, everyone gasped and retreated rapidly.

Some Nascent Soul Stage protectors acted in unison, spiritual energy splashing as they attempted to disperse the miasma.

But it was all in vain, like a mud ox entering the sea, with no reaction.

"This is... Blood Origin Miasma?!" someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Many people reacted, their faces turning grim. This was no ordinary miasma. If one was not careful, even Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses could be lost.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang frowned. She flipped her palm and took out a large number of pills from her storage ring, distributing them.

"This is the Clear Heart Pill, a third-grade pill I refined. It has a certain resistance to Blood Origin Miasma. Everyone, be careful and pass through the miasma as quickly as possible."

As she spoke, many people looked over, their eyes flashing with unknown light.

This was the first time miasma had appeared in a secret realm, so these people had not prepared any pills to break through the miasma before coming.

If they had to go back and get them, they would lose their advantage.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan took the bottle of Clear Heart Pills from Ye Qingshuang's hand, kept a few, and threw the rest towards Ye Yu. "Imperial Brother, take these Clear Heart Pills."

Ye Qingshuang frowned, but for once, she didn't stop him. She wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Ye Yu, making it easier to talk later.

Ye Yu, however, let out a cold laugh. At this critical juncture, this bottle of Clear Heart Pills was like a hot potato. How could Ye Yu not see through this little scheme?

Immediately, Ye Yu flicked his finger, and a spiritual light burst forth, shattering the porcelain bottle.

The Clear Heart Pills within were instantly destroyed.

"Imperial Brother, what are you doing? These are all pills that Sister Qingshuang painstakingly refined. If you don't want them, you can give them to someone else. Why are you destroying them!" Ye Xuan said with a wronged expression.

"Trash, you really don't know what's good for you. Xiao Xuan is generous and isn't holding it against you, but you're still making a fuss, aren't you!" Seeing Ye Xuan being wronged, Liu Ruyan immediately started cursing.

Liu Ruyan's reputation was already ruined, so there was no need to pretend anymore. She eagerly defended Ye Xuan.

Ye Yu glanced indifferently at the two of them and said, "I don't care for this kind of trash pill. You don't need to put on a show of being a good person."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang's face immediately darkened. She said coldly, "Are you saying the pills I refined are trash?!"
