Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist

Li Ming ended up wearing a light green tank top and black leggings along with her favorite pair of white sneakers. Her long hair was tied in a high tight bun.  

She was planning to confront Ruoshan about the identity of Mr. Beauty after her shower but when she left the washroom, clad in a baby pink dress, she found the Ever Night Lord absent.

She had no plan of going out in the real world before completing her task of refining the pills. Therefore she changed into comfortable clothes and left the mansion.

She entered in the Library of Alchemy and settled down on one of the bean bags as she started taking out ingredients for refining Body Cleansing Pills.  

If not for all the stupid things that happened the previous night she probably would have finished refining the pills by this morning but unfortunately the entire night was wasted first because of the note which no longer existed and then because of those so-called ancestors who made her end up drunk.

"Are you going to refine pills?" Mallow asked as she too entered the room.

Li Ming took a breath of relief when she didn't found Snowy following Mallow. She didn't want any kind of disturbances at this point. She needed to finish this task as fast as she could.

"Yeah, Ready to help?"

Li Ming asked Mallow as she started setting the refiner and furnace. The duo worked for the next five hours non-stop. Li Ming was initially on the low rank of Early Refiner but as she continued to refine batches after batches of middle-grade pills, her alchemy rank also increased.  

After nearly eight hours of constant hard work, there were finally six jars full of Body Cleansing Pills.  

Li Ming swiped the sweat from her forehead as she tried to gain a little bit of energy. She had used more than seventy percent of her cultivation energy in the past five hours.  

But a smile appeared on her face as her eyes landed on the jars sitting on the coffee table.

"Congratulations Master! Not only you successfully refined hundreds of Body Cleansing Pills but you also broke through to the Middle Rank of Early Refiner." Mallow said in a proud tone.

"Yeah, looks like there's finally something good that happened!" Li Ming sighed as she said.

She took out a black marker and picked up the first jar. This jar was a lot smaller than the others. There were barely ten or twelve pills inside the jar but this jar could be considered as the most precious out of all the jars.

The reason was that this particular jar held the second rank Middle-grade pills. These were the highest rank of Body Cleansing Pills that Li Ming could refine at the moment. This pill could be consumed by those on Elder Cultivator Rank.  

People who were on a lower rank than Elder Cultivator couldn't consume the Second rank Middle-grade pill because it would be too powerful for their internal energy and could damage it.

While those who were above the rank of High Cultivator couldn't consume Body Cleansing pills lower than the second rank of middle grade because though it won't be harmful to their health but it still is of no use for them.

Li Ming wrote down the rank of the pills on the jar and moved to the second jar. This one was a huge jar with over a hundred and fifty third rank Middle-grade pills in it, or to be precise there were hundred and seventy-two pills inside the jar.

The third jar was as big as the second one and it also held about a hundred and eighty-nine pills inside it. All of them were first rank low-grade pills.  

The fourth jar was also a little bit smaller than the second and third one and it held about forty to fifty pills of the First Rank Low Grade.

The fifth jar was as small as the first one and there were barely fifteen to twenty-something pills inside it. These were the lowest grade pills that Li Ming had refined. There was about three or four third rank Low-Grade Pills and the rest were Second rank Low-Grades.

The last jar was also small and it held all those pills that came out as defected. There were twenty or something pills in it.

Though they were totally useless according to Mallow but Li Ming who had been finding new things through her experiments had a feeling that she could definitely find a way to use those defected pills.

IN SUMMARY:

THIRD RANK, LOW-GRADE PILLS – could be used by the beginners of spiritual cultivation.

SECOND RANK, LOW-GRADE PILLS – could be used by those who were on Basic Cultivation Level.

FIRST RANK, LOW-GRADE PILLS – could be used by those who were on Middle Cultivation Level.

THIRD RANK, MIDDLE-GRADE PILLS – could be used by those who were on a lower rank than the Fifth Level of High Cultivation (also those who were between fifth to ninth ranks of middle cultivator).

SECOND RANK, MIDDLE-GRADE PILLS – the highest rank of pills that Li Ming could refine at the moment. It could be used by those who were on Elder Cultivation Level. Even the early rank cultivators (1-3) of The great Elder Cultivation level could use this pill if taken two at a time.

It was half-past five in the evening when she finally left the Library. The jars were safely stored in one of the secret compartments of the library. Mallow was tired and therefore she immediately sprawled on the Divine lotus and fell asleep within a few minutes.

Li Ming was too tired but since she was in a good mood, she decided to pay a visit to the Black Jade Inn.  

She told Old Sir Liu and Old Mo to gather all the children of the Dongji village, who were between the ages of seven to twenty, at the foot of the Thundering Peaks Mountain Ranges the very next morning.

Neither of the two Old men questioned her and immediately promised to complete her given task successfully.

When Li Ming reached Black Jade Inn it was already six in the evening and the sun was shifting towards the horizon to finally end the day.

If Li Ming knew that she would end up as a cook for the group of Young Masters that too decided to visit her Inn that evening, she probably would have chosen a different idea to spend her evening.

Maybe she could have tried to find something about what happened the previous night or maybe she could have tried to find Ruoshan's whereabouts to ask him questions that were constantly nagging her the entire day but of course, nothing like that happened.  

"Ming Ming, it's been months since we last tasted the food prepared by you. Don't be so cold-hearted. Please cook something delicious for us." Wei Min said while making his famous puppy eyes which had suddenly become the weakness of the Young girls of Capital City.

Li Ming glared at the boy as she inwardly questioned the mentality of the young girls of the city. What were they even seeing in General Manor's Fourth Young Master except that he was a person full of trickery and blackmails?

"I'm seriously too tired. Just eat what you will be served later. Don't you dare try those lousy tricks of yours on me, I'm not going to cook tonight no matter what," Li Ming said in a strict tone as she gave a hard glare to all the seven Young Masters that had come to visit the Inn.

Two hours later, that was around eight-thirty o'clock at night, Wei Rong took out a pouch full of silvers and placed them in front of Li Ming who was looking half dead at that point.

"Ming Ming, you should also eat your dinner and rest. You are looking too tired."  

Li Ming wasn't sure which one was uttering the nonsense as she was literally on the verge of passing out. She straightened up and fixed her veil which had loosened a little.

"Get lost. Right now." Her voice came out as a deep cold growl which made all the servants and even Elder Fu gulp in fear. They all had a feeling that if the Young Masters didn't disappear immediately on their own then their Master would probably kick all of them out herself.

"Ming Ming, we seriously didn't know that you were so tired. If we knew then we would never have forced you for making dinner for us." It was Yan Jhong who spoke this time.

Li Ming could actually see the remorse on their faces and in their eyes which were looking at her in worry for her health and guilt.

She would probably not be so tired if she had only made the dinner for the Young Masters but the fact that she prepared an entire feast for over seventy people was enough to turn anyone into a half-dead.

When the customers heard the Young Masters asking her to make dinner for them, they also started supporting the Young Masters. Their only condition was that Li Ming should prepare the dinner not only for the Young Masters but for everyone.

Declining the Young Masters was one thing since they were her friends but how could she decline her customers, that's how she ended up in the kitchen preparing dinner for so many people within the time limit of only one hour and she barely had five cooks to help her in the mission.
