Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 67
She Still Couldn’t Understand

“You, hello…”

Qi Yuan cautiously greeted Yue Qingyou.

“Hello.”

Bound by her duties as a servant, Yue Qingyou had to politely respond to Qi Yuan, but her eyes remained fixed on her, cold and icy.

Qi Yuan couldn’t help but shrink back a little.

Who on earth is this woman…?

She was truly terrifying…

Being stared at by her made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body chilled to the bone…

Qi Yuan looked at Ning Yechen pleadingly, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

“Miss Qi, this is the new servant in our house, and also my former personal attendant, Yue Qingyou.”

Ning Yechen briefly introduced Yue Qingyou to Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan looked at Yue Qingyou with even more curiosity in her eyes.

When she first noticed Yue Qingyou’s appearance and demeanor, she had assumed she was a guest of Luo Ruying or Ning Yechen.

But it turned out she was Brother Ning’s former personal attendant!

Having grown up in a wealthy family and seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, she thought she had encountered countless servants with extraordinary temperament, but she had never seen a servant with such beauty and grace…

Even if someone told her that Yue Qingyou was a princess from some country, she wouldn’t have doubted it in the slightest…

Even the servants in Brother Ning’s family possessed such remarkable appearance and demeanor…

Meng Niu and the other two were already impressive, but Yue Qingyou left her in awe.

However, she still couldn’t understand why Yue Qingyou had shown hostility towards her from their first meeting…

Qi Yuan, no longer dwelling on it, silently averted her gaze, not daring to meet Yue Qingyou’s eyes again. She turned to Ning Yechen and asked,

“By the way, Brother Ning, you mentioned you wanted to see me today. Is there something you need?”

“Indeed~”

Ning Yechen smiled slightly and inquired, “Miss Qi, although the Qi family now controls the jurisdiction over the various streets in Nanli City that the Jiang family once held, it seems they haven’t completely disappeared from the city, have they?”

“That’s correct.”

“Although the jurisdiction over the streets in Nanli City has been transferred to my Qi family, there are still many businesses that choose to side with the Jiang family.”

“They still belong to the Jiang family’s shops, and the Jiang family’s business is still ongoing.”

Qi Yuan said, her voice filled with indignation.

Just mentioning the Jiang family made her angry!

Although the Qi family had successfully obtained the jurisdiction over the streets in Nanli City, significantly impacting the Jiang family’s influence and business, a large portion of the businesses in the city still chose to stand with the Jiang family.

The lease contracts for the street shops hadn’t expired yet, and despite losing jurisdiction over the streets, the Jiang family’s shops could still operate normally.

However, when the lease contracts expired, the Qi family could use the threat of revoking their leases to force the shops to sever ties with the Jiang family if they wanted to continue operating.

Even if they didn’t agree, the Qi family could use their control over the streets to refuse to renew their leases, forcing them to close down.

But until then, the Qi family couldn’t really do anything about the Jiang family.

They could only try their best to win over or persuade those businesses that still supported the Jiang family to join the Qi family.

But the results weren’t very promising.

This was also the reason Qi Yuan had been troubled since yesterday.

Unable to completely crush the Jiang family in one fell swoop, there was no telling what tricks they might pull next!

Ning Yechen had long anticipated this and continued to ask.

“I recall that the Jiang family’s main business relies on selling various pills and spiritual liquids?”

“That’s right!”

“Over ten years ago, the Jiang family somehow acquired a fourth-grade body tempering liquid called Fire Lotus Elixir.”

“This Fire Lotus Elixir can refine the body’s foundation and is highly sought after by countless cultivators.”

“The Jiang family also rose to prominence rapidly thanks to this Fire Lotus Elixir.”

“All the major businesses under the Jiang family’s influence in the city are selling this Fire Lotus Elixir.”

Qi Yuan said with a serious expression.

If it weren’t for the Fire Lotus Elixir, the Jiang family wouldn’t have risen so quickly and suppressed her Qi family.

It was also because of the immense profits from this Fire Lotus Elixir that countless businesses chose to support the Jiang family.

“A fourth-grade body tempering liquid…”

Ning Yechen pondered, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Qi Yuan looked puzzled.

She didn’t quite understand why Ning Yechen suddenly asked her about the Jiang family’s business.

After a moment, Ning Yechen beckoned to Yue Qingyou.

“Qingyou, pen and paper.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Without a word, Yue Qingyou immediately brought pen and paper and handed them to Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen took the pen and paper and swiftly listed dozens of spirit herbs and medicinal ingredients.

Qi Yuan was puzzled.

Luo Ruying, sitting beside Ning Yechen, couldn’t help but lean closer curiously. The more she stared at the list of spirit herbs and medicinal ingredients on the paper, the more astonished her beautiful eyes became!

This… This seems to be a formula for some kind of body tempering liquid!

Moreover, it was a formula for a spiritual liquid she had never encountered before!

Having grown up in the Heavenly Realm and studied countless medical texts, she was familiar with various elixirs and remedies, but the formula Ning Yechen had listed was completely new to her!

She tried to carefully consider the formula Ning Yechen had written down in her mind.

She was astounded to discover that these spirit herbs and medicinal ingredients could perfectly harmonize with each other, producing remarkable effects in refining the bones and meridians!

This was at least a seventh-grade or higher body tempering spiritual liquid!

He wasn’t just randomly scribbling!

Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

The formula Ning Yechen had casually written down was a seventh-grade body tempering liquid formula!

And it was one that had never been recorded before!

After finishing writing the formula, Ning Yechen handed the paper to Qi Yuan and said calmly.

“This is a formula for a body tempering liquid, called the Immortal Refining Pill.”

“The final product is a pill, which can be dissolved in water to create a spiritual liquid for body refinement.”

“As for its grade… it should be at the seventh-grade level.”

“I’m not entirely sure.”

“Se-Se-Seventh… Seventh-grade body tempering liquid?!”

Qi Yuan took the paper. At first, she didn’t see anything special about it, but when she heard Ning Yechen say that what she was holding was a seventh-grade body tempering liquid formula, her hands trembled in shock!

This… This was a seventh-grade body tempering liquid formula!

The value of this single formula was almost enough to buy the entire Nanli City!

And Ning Yechen had just casually handed it to her…?!

Moreover, he had written it so casually on a piece of plain paper!

Yue Qingyou, seeing Qi Yuan’s shocked expression, couldn’t help but find it amusing.

She was just an ignorant ant.

This seventh-grade body tempering liquid was already the lowest grade body tempering formula the Demon Lord could come up with.

If the Demon Lord wished, even producing a tenth-grade or higher body tempering pill formula would be child’s play.

“The ingredients required for the Immortal Refining Pill aren’t too difficult to find.”

“I believe that with Miss Qi’s family resources, gathering these ingredients and refining them in batches shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Even if the quality of the refinement is poor, it should still have at least the effects of a fifth-grade medicine.”

“After you return, immediately have the Qi family do their utmost to acquire all the medicinal herbs listed above, even if it means buying them from the Jiang family at ten times the price.”

Ning Yechen continued to instruct calmly.

Qi Yuan held the formula in her hand, her eyes blinking in a daze. Gradually, her eyes brightened.

She instantly understood Ning Yechen’s intention!

Brother Ning wanted the Qi family to use this seventh-grade body tempering pill formula to completely crush the Jiang family in business!
