In the Three-Life Waterfall, the eyelids of the meditating Hong Mingyue twitched suspiciously.

"Is there really such a person? This is inspiring, tell me more." Every Outer Sect Disciple pricked up their ears with interest.

For them, being the underappreciated Outer Sect Disciples, a dark horse that just made it onto the list represented hope.

They fantasized that one day they too, like the one from Daxia Country, could rise to fame overnight and become the future hero that stirs the Qing Province Continent.

"It's a female warrior, but also an Alchemist. Rumor has it that she's formidable. She just made a breakthrough into the Elixir Realm, at best, she's akin to a Small Yuan Elixir. Her claim to fame on the list comes from defeating a traitor from Daxia Country, a highly skilled Reincarnation First Path master. As for her name, it's somewhat similar to Senior Sister Hong, also containing the word 'Moon', she is called... Ye Lingyue!" The Outer Sect Disciple was talking energetically when suddenly, the Qing Province Elixir Ranking in his hands slipped out and flew away.

"Ah! My booklet." The Outer Sect Disciple felt a fragrant breeze pass by in front of him.

The Qing Province Elixir Ranking had already changed hands.

And that person, was none other than Hong Mingyue who had earlier been meditating at the Three-Life Waterfall.

"Hong... Senior Sister Hong." All the Outer Sect Disciples were dumbfounded.

"Daxia Ye Lingyue, Elixir Realm Newbie...defeated an enemy above her level...ranked 980th on the Elixir List." Hong Mingyue swept over the list with her beautiful eyes, reading it out word for word.

Ye Lingyue, she has made a breakthrough?

Just the other day at Fengming Manor, she was only at the Innate Level.

In the span of a few months, she went from a nobody on the Innate Path to storming onto the Qing Province Elixir Ranking. Hong Mingyue's eyes flickered, feeling a sense of crisis for the first time in her life...

Tossing the list back, Hong Mingyue sat down again, frightening the group of Outer Sect Disciples from the Three-Life Valley into utter silence, only discussing amongst themselves in secret that Ye Lingyue was indeed formidable, even stirring Senior Sister Hong.

At the same time, back in Hong Residence at Xia Capital.

As something that all Martial Artists on the continent eagerly followed, every release of the Alchemy List would attract numerous young Martial Artists.

Among them were the siblings Hong Yuying and Hong Yulang from the Hong Residence.

After Ye Lingyue was sent to Dan City by Emperor Xia, Hong Yuying and her brother had rejoiced over her potential misfortune for quite some time, even spreading bad rumors about Ye Lingyue in the Hongwu Hall, suggesting she might have died in Dan City unwittingly.

Feng Xue and the others, who couldn't stand the Hong siblings cursing Ye Lingyue, even came to blows with them.

Who would have known the good times wouldn't last long. It had only been three months since Ye Lingyue went to Dan City, yet she had made another breakthrough and even soared onto the Qing Province Elixir Ranking.

"How preposterous, Ye Lingyue actually made it onto the Qing Province Elixir Ranking."

Really, it was like a stone had stirred up a thousand ripples.

Inside the Hong Residence, Hong Yuying looked at the Qing Province Elixir Ranking in her hands and threw it away, just as Zhuge Rou and Hong Yulang happened to walk over.

The list, valued at one thousand taels of gold, landed right at the feet of Hong Yulang.

"You said who made it onto the Alchemy List, not Lan Cai'er? It's Ye Lingyue?" Hong Yulang still thought he had misheard until he saw Ye Lingyue's name convincingly on the Alchemy List. "How could this little bitch have broken through to the Elixir Realm so quickly?"

Lan Cai'er had advanced to the Elixir Realm quite a while ago, and Hong Yulang would believe it if it were said that she made the list, but with Ye Lingyue, it was out of the ordinary.

Ye Lingyue, wasn't she just a few months into her Innate breakthrough?

How did she break through again in just a few months?

It was only when Hong Yulang saw "defeating Su Mu despite the gap in ranks" that he believed his eyes weren't deceiving him.

Zhuge Rou too was shocked when she first heard it.

But as soon as she saw that Ye Lingyue was only ranked nine hundred and eighty on the Qing Province Alchemy List, a look of disdain appeared on her well-maintained face.

"You two are really too incompetent, it's just a rank of over nine hundred, and it's already at the tail end of the list, have you forgotten? Before Ming Yue advanced to the Reincarnation Realm, she was the third on the Qing Province Alchemy List. Moreover, she's the sole disciple of Long Yu, who knows how many Elixir Pills Long Yu had fed her to just scrape into the Elixir Realm. A Primordial Elixir that's piled up with pills, its future cultivation is very limited." Zhuge Rou said proudly, she didn't believe that, apart from her own precious daughter Hong Mingyue, anyone could break through from Innate to the Elixir Realm in such a short time.

You should know that it also took Hong Mingyue over a year to break through from Innate to the Elixir Realm.

What use are so many Elixir Pills to Ye Lingyue, that little bitch, she still doesn't even compare to one of our Ming Yue's toes.

"Also, do you two really think the Qing Province Alchemy List is so easy to make? Don't forget, how many people on the mainland are eyeing that list, especially the newcomers on the list, you never know when they might be challenged and killed." Zhuge Rou said viciously.

On the mainland, there are as many Martial Artists who are eager to make a name for themselves as there are fish crossing the river; when Hong Mingyue shot up to third place on the Alchemy List, who knows how many wanted to challenge her.

It took over a year before those challengers gradually lessened.

Until Hong Mingyue advanced to the Reincarnation Realm, she had always maintained the third-place record on the Qing Province Alchemy List.

That was also Zhuge Rou's capital for showing off in front of the noble ladies in the Xia Capital.

She would never allow an airborne Ye Lingyue to steal the glory of Ming Yue and the Hong Residence.

"Mother is right, perhaps tomorrow Ye Lingyue's name will no longer be on the Qing Province Alchemy List." Hearing this, Hong Yuying immediately turned worry into joy and spoke with clear ill intent.

"With time to pay attention to these trivial matters, you two better hurry up and train. Don't find yourselves in the Imperial Examination, even losing to that wild brat from the Lan Residence. Your father also wrote a letter from the frontier, asking about your cultivation progress," Zhuge Rou said seriously, losing the smile on her face.

If Hong Yuying and Hong Yulang, the two siblings, had half the diligence of Hong Mingyue, their mother wouldn't be so troubled.

"Father sent a letter? Mother, what did father's letter say? How many Spiritual Beasts has he slain in Xixia, how much military achievement has he accumulated? When can he return to the Daxia Capital?" Hong Yuying asked, full of anticipation.

The Martial Arts of the two were personally guided by Hong Fang, and after Hong Fang left, both felt that their cultivation had stagnated, the progress was slow, and they were eager for their father to return soon.

"The situation in Xixia Plain is not going well; your father and the Fourth Prince have been tormented by the matters of the Spiritual Beasts recently," Zhuge Rou sighed, pulling her son and daughter to sit down and began to read the contents of the letter.

The beast disturbance on the Xixia Plain is much more difficult than Hong Fang had anticipated earlier.

Stationed in Qi City as the Commander, Hong Fang truly found it difficult to retreat and regretted driving away Nie Fengxing.
