Just like that, Ye Lingyue worked in the Ye family’s quarry and dealt with the various dark iron ores and iron ores.

 Because of the Qian cauldron, the hard work in the eyes of others was just a practice in Ye Lingyue’s mind.

 On one hand, she was constantly cutting iron ores to refine her Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade skill. On the other hand, every time she cut iron ore, she carefully used the cauldron breath to purify it.

For her not to be discovered, Ye Lingyue only increased the purity of the iron ores to 40% each time. Without her realizing, Ye Lingyue had been in the Ye family’s quarry for a month.

 Within this period, the cauldron breath in the Qian cauldron became thicker.

 Not only that, but the elementary force in Ye Lingyue’s body had also increased a lot. She could feel that she was almost at the peak of the fifth level of body tempering and would breakthrough any time.

 “Little Miss, you’re here,” the martial arts practitioner of the Ye family greeted Ye Lingyue respectfully once he saw that she had arrived at that quarry.

 When Ye Lingyue first came to help out in the quarry, there was a great commotion.

 Such a delicate young lady from the main family and yet, she chose to do rough work. Everyone bet on how long Ye Lingyue could last.

 But after spending one day in the quarry, Ye Lingyue made the men there all dumbfounded.

This Little Miss was good with words and had a good memory. She was different from other young masters and young ladies from the main family. After she started working at the quarry, she was very approachable and had familiarized the names of everyone working there.

 Sometime after, people learned that Ye Lingyue was already at the fifth level of body tempering at such a young age. She even cut the ores quickly and neatly.

 She also had a pair of sharp eyes. It was said that even the masters could not distinguish between dark iron ores and iron ores, but Little Miss only needed to touch them with her hands to be able to distinguish them clearly.

 In the past month, Ye Lingyue was like a fish in water in the quarry.

 It was early in the morning when Ye Lingyue arrived at the quarry. Upon her arrival, she saw several workers rushing out and some were even injured.

 “Little Miss, don’t go in. There is a vicious dog in the quarry. It bites people and has hurt several brothers already.”

 It was still early in the morning, and those guarding the quarry were ordinary workers with the third level of body tempering at most. When Ye Lingyue heard this, she ran towards the quarry.

 A vicious dog was barking in front of her.

 A distance away, a dog that was at waist height came out. With one look, one could tell the dog was strong and covered in dirt.

 There were several pieces of torn cloth and flesh at the corner of its mouth.

 It was a mess in the quarry; workers were fleeing in a fit of panic!

 “Squeak!”

 Ye Lingyue was about to make a move when Squeaky jumped out of her clothes.

 Squeaky was usually inseparable from Ye Lingyue. It was very lazy and only knew how to sleep in Ye Lingyue’s clothes.

 But that morning, it seemed to have noticed something unusual.

 The moment it found that the culprit was a vicious dog, its blue eyes were full of disdain.

Feeling Squeaky’s strange behavior, Ye Lingyue stopped and retreated to the side.

 She saw Squeaky landing on the ground with a light thud, and it strode towards the vicious dog.

 A dog the size of a teacup and a dog about the size of a calf confronted each other, and it looked funny.

Fortunately, there were no people around; otherwise, it would cause a stir.

 That dog saw the little guy and grinned viciously, barking a few times.

 ‘Squeak!’

 A sharp shriek sounded from Squeaky’s mouth when it saw that the dog still dared to be rampant.

 That shriek was quite different from Squeaky’s usual cute appearance. It was like a cold arrow that went straight into the dog’s ears.

 After hearing that shriek, the fierce dog felt an invisible pressure—its limbs trembled and its knees turned weak. It fell in front of Squeaky shivering.

 What was this?

 When Ye Lingyue saw this dramatic scene, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

 But fortunately, the dog had been subdued and could not hurt others.

 ‘Squeaky~’

 Squeaky wandered to Ye Lingyue’s side and called out in a cute voice.

 “You’re saying that the fellow is sick and you want me to have a look?” Ye Lingyue looked awkward, but she understood what Squeaky meant.

 Although she had read many medical books of Immortal Hongmeng, she had never attended to anyone, let alone a dog.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue was not going forward, Squeaky bit Ye Lingyue’s right hand and dragged her.

 “You want me to treat him with the Qian cauldron?” Ye Lingyue quickly understood what Squeaky wanted.

 Qian cauldron had such an ability?

 Ye Lingyue mustered up her courage and went forward. The dog seemed to understand that Ye Lingyue was there to help it. Its eyes were wet with tears and it looked very pitiful.

 “I’ll just make every possible effort.” Ye Lingyue put her hand on the dog’s body.

 After the Qian cauldron on her palm had moved, the cauldron breath came out and went into the dog’s body.

 A crisscross image of muscles and vessels immediately appeared in Ye Lingyue’s mind.

 What surprised Ye Lingyue was that she saw a black spot the size of a nail on the head of the dog—and it was expanding.

 It was obvious that the dog was ill.

 Ye Lingyue then realized that it was because of this illness that made the dog so grumpy.

 The cauldron breath became active when it saw those black spots. It swam up and attacked the black spot. However, compared to the impurities in the Dark Yin Jade or the dark iron ores, the cauldron breath took a longer time to swallow the black spot.

 After a quarter of an hour, the black spot on the dog disappeared and Ye Lingyue was covered in sweat.

 “The vicious dog is over there!” Several martial arts practitioners at the fifth level of body tempering angrily rushed over with sticks, spears, and other weapons.

 “Little Miss, why are you here? And the dog?” Everybody’s mouth hung open. The vicious dog that allegedly bit several people earlier on was wagging its tail and lying at Ye Lingyue’s foot in obedience.

 In the morning light, Ye Lingyue wiped the sweat on her face and a dazzling smile appeared on her face.

 “Interesting. What an interesting little thing!” When Ye Lingyue and the martial arts practitioners left, a man wearing a half mask came down from the eaves.
