Chapter 50: The Original Intention of Pills
Ye Liuyun smiled shyly. She didn't explain the effectiveness of her pills, nor could she.
Although she was an unconventional alchemist who liked to randomly synthesize medicinal ingredients, setting aside these unconventional concoctions, her conventional pills were definitely top-tier.
After all, with an immortal maiden skilled in alchemy as her master, she certainly wouldn't let Ye Liuyun refine random things all the time. Wouldn't that tarnish her own reputation?
Of course, in Ye Liuyun's eyes, Lin Qingyou was a completely unreliable master. She looked like an ethereal immortal maiden, but her style of doing things was no exaggeration to call her a demoness.
From the moment she tricked her into practicing the Eternal Evergreen Art, this woman had led Ye Liuyun astray.
In fact, Ye Liuyun knew that this woman was hiding something from her, but when it came to matters of cultivation, she could only be half-convinced.
By the way, Ye Liuyun initially had no idea that Lin Qingyou's alchemy skills could ignore the properties and principles of medicinal ingredients to fuse pills.
It was Lin Qingyou who took the initiative to tell Ye Liuyun. After trying it once, Ye Liuyun was like a person who had discovered a new continent, unable to stop. It was like a scientist on Earth suddenly discovering a new technology, completely addicted.
So, it wasn't wrong to say that Lin Qingyou was an unconventional master.
After using her specially made high-potency hemostasis pills to stabilize the injuries of the wounded, Ye Liuyun then walked over to the area with the injured from the Zixia Sect.
These people had not yet received effective treatment, and many were on the verge of death.
"Alas! Every decision made by the sect's higher-ups costs the lives of countless disciples. While the sect nurtures its disciples, it also makes them pay the price of their lives at any time. Is this price worth it?" Ye Liuyun muttered to herself.
Of course, in this world, it seemed too arbitrary to measure the price with worthiness.
"Senior Sister from the Zixia Sect, take this." Ye Liuyun offered a Hemostasis Pill to an injured female disciple from the Zixia Sect.
But the female disciple only opened her eyes, glanced at Ye Liuyun, and then snorted coldly.
"I won't take any pills refined by your Yunxia Sect. How do I know if you're trying to harm me?"
This woman's words displeased Ye Liuyun.
"Damn it! I'm an alchemist, a doctor in the cultivation world. Don't you understand the heart of a healer? Although I can refine some poison pills, I won't just give them to people I have no personal grudge against," Ye Liuyun complained in her heart.
But on the surface, she certainly wouldn't say that.
"Tch! Judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person. If you don't want it, then don't." Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, then walked over to a more seriously injured Zixia Sect cultivator. She took out a Rebirth Pill, put it into his mouth, and then used her power to push it into his stomach.
For Ye Liuyun, these pills of hers weren't actually worth much. They only became strange and special because they were tinged with the immortal qi of the Myriad Elixir Immortal Cauldron. If one were to only consider the value of the materials, it wasn't much.
Ye Liuyun judged the matter on its own merits. If this group of people were to try to kill her in the future, she would have no qualms about killing them. But now, as an alchemist, she had to save those who needed saving.
After these people were saved, the Zixia Sect would surely come to ransom them, which would also be a source of income for the Yunxia Sect.
"What kind of pill is this? How can it be so effective?" The Zixia Sect disciple who had eaten the Rebirth Pill slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Liuyun, who was treating his injuries.
"Don't worry about what pill it is. It's enough that it saved your life. If you had lain there a little longer, you would have had to report to the underworld," Ye Liuyun said, rolling her eyes.
The saved Zixia Sect disciple gave an awkward smile.
"Thank you, miss. I will remember this debt of saving my life. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay it." The awakened Zixia Sect disciple also knew that he had been on the verge of death. If it hadn't been for Ye Liuyun giving him the Rebirth Pill just now, he wouldn't have survived for half an hour.
"I like the sound of that. I'll remember it. I'll be waiting for you to repay the favor," Ye Liuyun chuckled, then went to see the other wounded.
For anyone who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Ye Liuyun fed them a Rebirth Pill. For ordinary injuries, she fed them high-potency hemostasis pills. Soon, all the cultivators in the concentration area for the wounded were basically out of danger.
Especially some of the cultivators who were on the verge of death. After being saved by Ye Liuyun, both the disciples of the Zixia Sect and the Yunxia Sect were extremely grateful to her.
Only when one is about to die does one realize how precious life is. For them to be brought back from the brink of death, it was no exaggeration to say that Ye Liuyun was their second parent.
Nalan Yan was extremely shocked as she watched the wounded whose injuries had all stabilized. She had been secretly observing Ye Liuyun just now and found that the pills Ye Liuyun gave them were all top-grade healing medicines. One pill for one life.
Especially those wounded who she thought were sure to die had all been saved.
"Ye Liuyun, what is her background? Such superb alchemy skills," Nalan Yan grew more and more astonished as she looked at Ye Liuyun.
She thought for a moment, then walked over to Ye Liuyun's side.
"Junior Sister Ye, is it appropriate for you to give them such good pills? They are all enemies. It is already merciful of us not to kill them and to bring them back," Nalan Yan said.
Seeing Nalan Yan walk over and say this, Ye Liuyun's eyes darted around, and then she said righteously.
"Senior Sister Nalan, we are alchemists. In the mortal world, alchemists are doctors. A healer has the heart of a parent. In my eyes, there are only the wounded. For a doctor, everyone's life is precious. An alchemist who has no reverence for life will not go far on the path of alchemy."
Nalan Yan had originally just felt it was a bit not worth it, but upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, she was stunned on the spot.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that her own awareness as an alchemist was far inferior to that of the girl before her.
She was a bit lost for a moment. Or perhaps, the reason her alchemy skills were so much worse than Ye Liuyun's was not just a gap in skill, but also a gap in her state of mind.
Ye Liuyun's words had pointed out what Nalan Yan was lacking. What alchemists needed most was their state of mind.
But in reality, Ye Liuyun was just casually bluffing Nalan Yan, or rather, trying to shut her up.
"This? Alright, it seems my state of mind in alchemy is indeed not enough. Thank you for your guidance, Junior Sister Ye. I will definitely adjust my state of mind when I get back," Nalan Yan said with a smile.
Seeing Nalan Yan's reaction, Ye Liuyun muttered to herself in confusion.
"Strange, what's wrong with this woman? A few casual words from me have stunned her?" Ye Liuyun mumbled.
But in fact, even Lin Qingyou was stunned after hearing Ye Liuyun's words, because what Ye Liuyun said was probably something that all alchemists had never considered.
As the healers among cultivators, what they seemed to pursue was never about curing the sick and saving people, but about profit and fame. They had never thought about what the original intention of inventing pills was.
Pills were not meant to pursue fame and fortune. The original intention behind the birth of pills was to save lives. It had only slowly been tainted by fame, fortune, and profit.
"I never thought that with such a frivolous personality, you could say something so profound. I'm rather impressed," Lin Qingyou's voice rang in Ye Liuyun's ear.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback.
"Ahem, I was actually just talking nonsense to brush her off," Ye Liuyun explained.
But Lin Qingyou didn't think so, because Ye Liuyun's words had revealed the original intention and true meaning of the Dao of Alchemy.
Even she, an immortal who had achieved the Dao through medicine, rarely thought about what the original intention of pills was.
