Chapter 911: The Mysterious Pills

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After her cultivation was crippled by Ye Leng’an, Ye Wanwan relied on these pills to restore her cultivation. Moreover, it was also because of taking these healing pills that she could quickly advance her cultivation after recovering.

However, the pain she endured after taking these medicinal pills was indescribable. At first, she almost couldn’t bear it and was on the verge of biting her tongue. Yet, she persevered.

Although the process was excruciating, the results were evident. After the first dose, she had almost regained half of her cultivation. Hence, despite the agony, she was eager for these pills as they were the quickest way for her to enhance her cultivation.

As an alchemist, she knew there was no free lunch in this world. No pill could enhance one’s cultivation without side effects. Thus, the consequences of consuming these pills remained unknown.

Moreover, if these pills were truly so effective, her grandfather wouldn’t keep them hidden from the rest of the family. Therefore, they were certainly not simple pills.

Yet, despite this understanding, Ye Wanwan couldn’t resist the allure of these pills. With them, her cultivation soared like a rocket.

To surpass Ye Leng’an, she needed to elevate her cultivation. She wanted everyone to know she was stronger than her. So, even if facing a potential abyss, she’d tread forward without hesitation.

Seeing the greed in Ye Wanwan’s eyes, Ye Yikun’s gaze flickered with an unknown light. “Take the pills promptly. And remember, don’t let anyone know about them.”

Ye Wanwan’s eyes glimmered with acquiescence. “Grandfather, rest assured, I won’t let anyone else know.”

“Very well.” Ye Yikun nodded, then shifted his gaze to Ye Wanwan before continuing, “One more thing…”

At this point, Ye Yikun’s gaze sharpened. “No more pointless actions in the future. Cease those inappropriate antics and don’t let outsiders think poorly of our family’s values.”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ye Wanwan’s face. She knew her grandfather was reprimanding her for the incident at the banquet.

“Wanwan, remember, you’re not irreplaceable.” Ye Yikun’s tone carried authority. “Our family has plenty of girls.”

This was more a warning than a reminder.

Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly reassured, “Grandfather, I’ll be careful. I guarantee such incidents won’t happen again.”

Ye Yikun waved dismissively. “Alright, you may go now.”

Ye Wanwan felt uneasy but dared not say more. Taking the box of healing pills, she left.

Observing Ye Wanwan’s unchanged expression and the object in her hand as she exited his courtyard, Ye Yikun immediately calmed down.

It wasn’t until she returned to her room that she collapsed weakly onto the ground. She hadn’t dared reveal her true emotions while outside.

Ever since her true identity was exposed, attitudes towards her within the family hadn’t changed much, but subtle shifts had occurred.

However, after today, those lingering doubts should dissipate. Her confident return was to assert that her status in the Ye family wouldn’t falter, regardless of her lineage.

Once in her room, her tensed nerves finally relaxed, causing her legs to weaken, and she fell to the ground.

Before her grandfather, she always felt immense pressure, as if one wrong word could lead to dire consequences.

She glanced at the wooden box in her hand, excitement and fear mingling in her eyes. Despite the anticipated backlash, she quickly opened it and swallowed a pill.

Minutes later, familiar pain wracked her body, feeling like ants gnawing at her bones. Despite the agony, she suppressed any sound, adhering to her grandfather’s warning not to divulge the pill’s existence.

After about fifteen minutes, the pain subsided, and Ye Wanwan finally felt alive again. Gasping for air, she lay on the ground, her soaked clothes evidence of her ordeal.

Knowing she had overcome another trial, she eventually rose and circulated her spiritual energy. With surprise, she noted her injuries were more than halfway healed. Another pill tomorrow would likely complete the process.

The subsequent days would be dedicated to enhancing her cultivation with these pills.

Eyeing the pills in the box, Ye Wanwan pondered deeply. She was truly curious about their miraculous effects and their mysterious nature, concealed by her grandfather.

Thus, she suppressed her curiosity, fearing any inquiry might jeopardize her opportunities.

With a tightened grip on the wooden box, she held her only chance to surpass Ye Leng’an.
