Chapter 2371: Mysterious Pill for Contribution Points?
"Get lost!"
Yin Xirou suddenly blushed, swinging a slap towards Ye Haochuan.
In the entire West Peak, the only person daring enough to tease her like this was Ye Haochuan. Today, she decided to teach this mischievous guy a lesson.
But before her hand could land, Ye Haochuan screamed out in terror, "Come look, the famous Alchemist Yin is trying to murder her husband..."
Ye Haochuan’s voice was loud, as if he wanted the entire West Peak to hear.
Yin Xirou’s face turned red up to her neck. The hand that originally aimed to hit him instantly changed direction, covering Ye Haochuan’s mouth.
"If you shout again, I’ll cut off your tongue!"
Lately, just because Ye Haochuan entered her room, there have been lots of rumors flying around. Even though she wasn’t particularly bothered, she still didn’t want others to laugh at her.
"You wouldn’t do that..."
Ye Haochuan smiled obediently, lightly sniffing the fragrant scent coming from the back of Yin Xirou’s hand.
Unable to bear such audacity, Yin Xirou swiftly withdrew her hand, angrily saying, "You scoundrel, I’ll kill you now!"
"If you kill me, who will help you become a top-tier Mysterious Pill Master?"
Ye Haochuan chuckled mischievously, finally stopping his teasing and walking boldly into the room.
Yin Xirou stomped her foot in frustration. Ever since meeting Ye Haochuan, she never seemed to win any verbal exchanges, leaving her feeling indignant.
However, she didn’t continue to act out, not just because Ye Haochuan said he’d help her become a top Alchemist, but also because she never actually tries to really hurt anyone.
In fact, Ye Haochuan dared to treat her so bluntly because he understood this.
If it were another temperamental beauty at the Void God Stage, he wouldn’t dare provoke her no matter what.
When Yin Xirou calmed her emotions and entered the room, Ye Haochuan had already shed his playful demeanor, seriously working on the materials she normally used for Alchemy.
Looking at his meticulous demeanor, it seemed completely different from the mischievous person earlier.
"If only you could always stay like this?"
Yin Xirou gently murmured, preparing to sit next to Ye Haochuan and use her flame to aid him in Alchemy.
However, before she could act, Ye Haochuan suddenly raised his hand, summoning a piece of earthy-yellow flame with a purple outer edge, looking quite beautiful.
Though the flame wasn’t large, compared to the towering Pill Furnace, it seemed like using a candle to cook.
Yet despite its small size, Yin Xirou felt a surge of intense heat that was quite alarming.
"What flame is this? How can such a small portion have such powerful heat?"
Yin Xirou asked in surprise.
"Isn’t it the flame you told me to find? What, did you forget again?"
Ye Haochuan teased with a nonchalant expression.
"Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame? You mean this is the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame?"
Yin Xirou almost bit her tongue in shock.
She had mentioned the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame to Ye Haochuan, but didn’t believe he could obtain it now, merely giving him a goal to strive for.
Who would’ve thought that Ye Haochuan only left for two days and really obtained the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame?
"But wait, didn’t a temple blasphemer take away the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame? It seems Elder Nangong personally went to retrieve it, but the person escaped!"
Recalling the hot gossip around West Peak these days, Yin Xirou looked at Ye Haochuan with suspicion, "Could it be that the temple blasphemer is you?"
"Please, if I could escape from Elder Nangong’s grasp, I’d use force on you a long time ago, rather than being helplessly confined to just verbal teasing each time!"
Ye Haochuan reverted to his earlier rogue demeanor, sneering.
Yin Xirou glared at Ye Haochuan fiercely, but surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead continuing to question her doubts.
"If it’s not you, then how come the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame is in your possession?"
"The thief who stole the flame shattered a fragment off and, luckily, I was nearby, so I boldly took it!"
Ye Haochuan didn’t reveal the truth, creating a little story instead.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Yin Xirou, but considering the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame is West Peak’s supreme treasure, if she knew the thief only stole a useless shell and the real flame was with him, she’d likely side with the South Sect against Ye Haochuan.
It’s not about Yin Xirou being disloyal, but as part of West Peak, it’s inevitable she’d think collectively.
If it’s just a fragment, it’s not as troublesome, and Yin Xirou likely wouldn’t challenge Ye Haochuan over something not integral to the situation.
Seeing the "feeble" Earthly Primordial Yellow Meteor Heart Flame, Yin Xirou believed Ye Haochuan’s "flame fragment" story, murmuring enviously, "You’re quite lucky, aren’t you!"
Indeed, she had to envy him; despite being a mere fragment of the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame, its power seemed much stronger than her black flame.
After twenty minutes, Ye Haochuan reabsorbed the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame, his face beaming with joy.
Having a new flame indeed felt empowering, finally allowing him to bid farewell to the frustration of lacking flames.
"The Essence Charm is done, but for the Spirit Meal preparation, I need your help. I urgently need lots of Contribution Points, so I’ll likely spend most of my time in the Service Hall!"
Ye Haochuan said sincerely.
"Am I just your servant or what?"
Yin Xirou grumbled.
Though speaking like this, she still took the Essence Charm from Ye Haochuan: "Let me tell you, I’m not helping you for free. In the future, if I have any problems with Alchemy, you must answer without reservation, understand?"
"Of course, given our relationship, even if you wanted me to be your pleasure tool, I’d have no complaints. What’s a bit of Alchemy knowledge, then?"
Ye Haochuan grinned, preparing to escape when Yin Xirou got angry.
However, unexpectedly, Yin Xirou didn’t seem to hear his words, looking puzzled as she asked, "You said you’re going to the Service Hall to earn Contribution Points from tasks?"
"Yes, what’s wrong?"
Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
"Are you silly? Going to the Service Hall to earn Contribution Points? It’s like having a golden spoon yet begging for food!"
Yin Xirou gave Ye Haochuan a look as if he were an idiot.
"What do you mean?" Ye Haochuan was baffled.
"Submitting Mysterious Pills can earn lots of Contribution Points; didn’t you know that?" Yin Xirou lamented.
Ye Haochuan didn’t mind Yin Xirou’s taunts, his excitement apparent.
As a Mysterious Pill Master, pills were the least of his concerns. If trading Mysterious Pills could earn massive Contribution Points, accumulating a million of them seemed easy!
"Quick, tell me more!"
Ye Haochuan’s voice trembled with excitement, shaking Yin Xirou’s arm ceaselessly.
