Genius Doctor's Fifth Young Miss novel Chapter 996

996 Concentrating on refining pills

The two of them saw that Wu Lingyu didn’t say anything and were guessing what his identity was. He was actually able to discover them under this kind of circumstances. He was even able to lock on to their specific location.

“Why are you following him?” Wu LIngyu asked, “If you don’t tell me, then”

His gaze was icy, allowing them to feel his dense murderous intent.

“We’re protecting him.” One of them said, showing that they were not enemies.

They saw the way that they interacted earlier on, and it seemed like their relationship was not the average. If they did anything to him, Sima You Yue would definitely find out about them.

“Who asked you to protect him? Xuan Qiu He?”

“No, Young Master does not know that we have come. We came on the orders of our Great Elder.”

When he heard that they weren’t sent by Xuan Qiu He, Wu Lingyu sighed in relief. It seemed like these guys didn’t realise that You Yue was a girl.

“Go back and tell Xuan Qiu Lai that you do not have to protect him in secret.” Wu Lingyu said, “If he really wants to do so, then do it in the open. If I see you again, don’t blame me for acting against you.”

The both of them exchanged glances with each other before disappearing into the sky. They went back to report to Xuan Qiu Lai.

Wu Lingyu recollected himself before returning to the inn.

In a little house in the corner of the Xuan Qiu clan, Xuan Qiu Lai was listening to the report of his two soldiers.

“He was able to lock on to your positions, which proves that he is very powerful.” Xuan Qiu Lai pondered, “He doesn’t want you to follow him?”

“He said that we should protect him in the open if we truly want to protect him. We should not do it secretly.” A guard said.

“Hmph, he wants to borrow the strength of the Xuan Qiu clan? He wishes!” Xuan Qiu Jia spat angrily, “He’s just a tiny little alchemist. Does he think that he is that important?”

“Then what shall we do?”

“Since they do not allow us to follow him secretly, we will retrieve our men.” Xuan Qiu Lai said, “Since an expert accompanies him, we will not have to worry. Right, have those who have gone to scout for information about him returned?”

“Not yet. The only information we got before that was after he arrived in the Cloud Sea City.”

“Once you’ve found out more information, send it to Young Master. Send news to me as well.”

“Yes, Great Elder.”

…

In the later days, Sima You Yue would go to the spirit pagoda to refine pills in her free time. She refined quite a few seven ranked pills. After a few tens of days that were equivalent to a year’s worth of time, she spent most of it instead.

Combined together, this was considered to be the longest time that she had spent refining pills within the past few years. After refining all the pills that she had on hand, she could feel that she was one foot in the door of becoming an eighth ranked alchemist.

During this one year, Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao were inside as well. They did their own cultivation and would occasionally gather together to talk.

Wu Lingyu was also always with Sima You Yue. Since he had some of Mo Sha’s soul, he was able to give her some pointers. This was the reason why she almost managed to reach the eighth rank.

On this day, Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were refining in the room. One was refining while the other was watching.

“Puff-”

The sound coming from the pill furnace, coupled with the dense smell wafting in the air was a hint that the pill refinement had failed once again.
