305: Chapter 306 Your husband is a second-tier alchemist!

"By the way, Shiyin, here are some Medicinal Pills. Take them and use them later."

Ye Changge, standing to the side, remembered that he still had quite a few Medicinal Pills on hand that he had refined in the Immortal City.

Most of those Medicinal Pills were High Grade Second-Rank Medicinal Pills he had refined in passing before refining the longevity pill for Xiao Caiyue. Some were for stabilizing the Foundation, some for assisting Cultivation, and others for healing and recovery.

Now, Ye Changge's magical power was full and well-rounded; he only needed to wait for a suitable Opportunity to directly attempt to break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

These Medicinal Pills, which were useful for the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, were of no use to Ye Changge anymore.

It would be better to give them to his wife, Lu Shiyin, to help her stabilize her Foundation and accelerate her Cultivation speed.

He took out seven or eight jade bottles and lined them up on the table.

Lu Shiyin looked at the jade bottles, her beautiful eyes widening slightly: "So many Medicinal Pills?"

She casually picked up a jade bottle and pulled out the stopper; a rich medicinal fragrance wafted towards her.

Lu Shiyin took a gentle breath and immediately felt the spiritual power within her body stir slightly, as if it were restless.

"This is... a High Grade Second-Rank Foundation Cultivation Pill?"

She looked at Ye Changge in disbelief.

The Foundation Cultivation Pill was a precious Medicinal Pill used by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators to stabilize their Foundation and increase their Cultivation.

On the market, a single Foundation Cultivation Pill cost hundreds of Spirit Stones and was often unavailable even with money.

Yet, inside this jade bottle in front of her, there were actually seven or eight of them!

The other jade bottles were likely the same.

These seven or eight bottles full of Medicinal Pills were worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones!

Seeing his wife's surprised expression, Ye Changge's heart softened. He then spoke to her:

"Shiyin, these Medicinal Pills were all refined by me, so you can use them with peace of mind. They contain very little pill toxin and will not affect your Foundation."

"What? You refined them yourself?"

Lu Shiyin was shocked once again. She widened her eyes and stared at Ye Changge, as if she were seeing her husband for the first time.

"Yes, by a stroke of luck, I obtained the Legacy of a Second-Rank Alchemist, and after practicing for a while, I just became a Second-Rank Alchemist."

Ye Changge's tone was indifferent, as if he were commenting on the weather.

He now felt that what Xiao Caiyue had said earlier made sense. His current strength did not require him to be overly low-profile.

He was now at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, with a solid Foundation and combat power far exceeding his peers, not to mention having multiple skills such as Talisman Array and Alchemy under his belt.

With such strength and Foundation, if he were to continue hiding it, it would seem a bit petty.

Moreover, the Ye Family was currently in a period of expansion and needed to recruit more talent and retainers.

If he revealed his astonishing talent and achievements in both Alchemy and Talisman Arrays, many Loose Cultivators and even Cultivators from small Families would surely come to join him.

By then, the Ye Family's strength would be able to rise to the next level.

"What? You just practiced and became a Second-Rank Alchemist?"

For a moment, Lu Shiyin didn't know what to say.

That was a Second-Rank Alchemist! Among the four arts of the Cultivation World, the Dao of Alchemy ranked first, and its difficulty was the greatest.

How many Cultivators exhausted their entire lives without ever becoming a First-Rank Alchemist?

A Second-Rank Alchemist was a height that required accumulated experience, massive amounts of medicinal materials for practice, and a certain amount of talent to reach.

Not to mention Second-Rank, even a Peak First-Rank Alchemist would be given some respect by ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

How did it become "I just practiced and became a Second-Rank Alchemist" when it came to her own husband?

Lu Shiyin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found she didn't know where to start.

In the end, she just looked deeply at Ye Changge, her eyes filled with helplessness and pride.

"Husband, your... your talent is truly..."

She shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Caiyue, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but let a smile appear on her lips.

She had actually known long ago that Ye Changge was an Alchemist. And not just an ordinary Second-Rank Alchemist.

After all, the Medicinal Pills he refined were genuine Peak Second-Rank Medicinal Pills.

That Alchemy skill of his, even she, a layman, could tell was definitely not as simple as "just practicing."

However... she also marveled inwardly. Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Talisman Arrays, both reaching the Second-Rank level.

Among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, this was absolutely a rare existence.

No wonder he could lead his Family to rise at such a young age; such a Foundation and strength were indeed incomparable to ordinary Cultivators.

"Alright, Shiyin, keep these Medicinal Pills for now. After you have digested them and your Foundation is completely stabilized, I will refine some that are more suitable for you."

Ye Changge pushed the jade bottles towards Lu Shiyin, his tone gentle.

Lu Shiyin looked at the Medicinal Pills before her, then looked at Ye Changge, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She nodded gently and put the jade bottles into her Storage Pouch one by one. "Thank you, Husband."

"We are husband and wife, why the need for thanks?"

Lu Shiyin put the jade bottles into her Storage Pouch one by one, but her heart was still surging with waves.

She couldn't help but recall the various things her husband had done since returning from Qingxuan Immortal City.

First, he gave her that Heaven-grade Cultivation Method Spiritual Artifact—the pure water bottle—saying it was "obtained by chance." Although she was pleasantly surprised at the time, she hadn't thought much of it, just assuming her husband was lucky and had found a treasure in the Immortal City.

Later, she heard that during the auction at the White Bird Market, her husband had crushed two Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Bandit Cultivators with a single move of "Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capture."

But now... Lu Shiyin looked at the seven or eight bottles of High Grade Second-Rank Medicinal Pills on the table, and the string in her heart finally snapped.

Killing a Lingxiao Sect Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator within three moves. Casually taking out High Grade Second-Rank Medicinal Pills worth ten thousand Spirit Stones. And claiming he "just practiced and became a Second-Rank Alchemist."

This... how could this be explained by "good luck" or "the power of a combined attack"?

Lu Shiyin looked deeply at Ye Changge, a complex expression appearing on her lips. There was shock, helplessness, and even more of an indescribable... resentment.

"Husband, you..." She spoke, her voice somewhat strained. "Have you... been hiding things from me all along?"

Ye Changge felt a slight tightening in his heart upon hearing this.

Lu Shiyin bit her lip, a thin layer of red flushing her cheeks, her voice dropping a few degrees, carrying a hint of shyness and annoyance:

"In fact, you knew everything, you understood everything. And I... I previously thought you were young and inexperienced, often lecturing you on the common knowledge of the Cultivation World, teaching you this and that..."

The more she spoke, the more she felt embarrassed, and her voice became quieter and quieter. "Thinking back on it now... it's truly mortifying!"

As she said this, she turned her face away, her ears turning completely red.

During those days, she had adopted the role of an "experienced person," earnestly explaining to her husband the various rules, common knowledge, and taboos of the Cultivation World. She had thought he was a greenhorn just starting out, needing the guidance and protection of her, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
