My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 291: Chapter 290: Chain Quest

Ye Wan’Er was so excited she completely forgot about the need for propriety between men and women, clinging to Yi Tianyun’s arm as if she had been the one to successfully perform the alchemy. The main reason she was so thrilled was that she finally felt like she could be of help.

"Ahem, Wan’er, let go of him. This is hardly proper!" Ye Qingxuan chided softly.

"Ah..." Ye Wan’er quickly released his arm, her face turning beet red with embarrassment. "I’m sorry, Yi. I got a little carried away."

"It’s fine." Yi Tianyun smiled. He didn’t mind at all; he could feel Ye Wan’er’s genuine excitement.

"Young Master, I apologize for doubting you earlier. Please forgive us for our rudeness," Ye Qingxuan said sincerely.

"I understand. I would have been just as cautious in your position. After all, the Spirit Race’s situation is not looking good right now." Yi Tianyun waved his hand dismissively. "Let’s put that aside for now. Just tell me what other Elixir Pills you need. If there’s nothing specific, I’ll continue making a batch of fourth-grade ones."

"Understood. We’re counting on you, then!" Ye Qingxuan nodded gratefully. "For now, we just need fourth-grade Elixir Pills. Nothing else is necessary at the moment. That’s what we’re shortest on."

"Alright, then. I’ll continue making the fourth-grade Elixir Pills. I’ll slow down a bit to ensure consistent quality. If you need me to speed up, just let me know."

Unless it was an emergency, Yi Tianyun wouldn’t activate his Madness Mode. ’After all, it consumes Madness Value, so it’s not very cost-effective.’

"That’s fine. The first batch of Elixir Pills has already helped a great deal, so there’s no need to rush the rest," Ye Qingxuan said. "I have to attend to some other matters. If you need anything, just talk to Wan’Er."

With that, she left. She clearly had many other things to do, having only taken a moment out of her packed schedule to check on her sister before immersing herself in work once more.

Yi Tianyun watched Ye Qingxuan’s departing figure. He wanted to say something, but held his tongue. ’I wanted to tell her who I am, but it looks like I’ll have to put that on hold.’ He didn’t want to reveal his identity to Ye Qingxuan if it meant exposing himself to others.

He didn’t know the Spirit Race’s current situation, so it was best not to reveal his identity unless absolutely necessary.

He immediately began concocting the fourth-grade Elixir Pills. Ye Wan’Er stood by and watched, not daring to utter a word for fear of disturbing him. The other Alchemists were the same; even while performing their own Alchemy, they couldn’t resist glancing over. His earlier speed had been so astounding that they couldn’t help but watch, hoping to glean some of his techniques.

’Of course, this isn’t something you can learn just by watching. Without Madness Mode, I wouldn’t be able to work this fast either.’

"If you have something on your mind, just say it," Yi Tianyun said while continuing to concoct the Elixir Pills.

"Really? Won’t I be disturbing you?" Ye Wan’Er asked.

"If a little chat like this could make me fail, my skills would be pretty pathetic." Yi Tianyun chuckled. This wasn’t difficult for him in the slightest. If he failed just because someone was talking, his level would be truly abysmal.

"Alright, then... Yi, you’re really incredible, you know? You’re skilled in Alchemy, your cultivation is so high, and you look so young." Ye Wan’er said with curiosity. "You also acquired so many Jade Spirit Stones... Don’t tell me you can draw Divine Runes, too?"

The nearby deacons all perked up their ears. ’This young man can draw Divine Runes, too?’

"I know a little," Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile.

"Just a little?" Ye Wan’er puffed up her chest proudly. "Then you’re definitely not as good at it as you are with Alchemy, and you’re certainly no match for my Spirit Race! I’ve reached the level of a fifth-grade Divine Rune Master... Well, to be precise, the initial level of a fifth-grade Divine Rune Master. Yi, if you ever want a Divine Rune, I can draw one for you! I can successfully create any Divine Rune below the fifth grade!"

Yi Tianyun just smiled. "Alright. If I ever need one, I’ll be sure to ask you."

’He was just humoring her, of course.’ He had already reached the Master Level in Divine Rune Mastery. While he couldn’t compare to the very top Divine Rune Masters, he had at least officially entered their ranks.

After that, the conversation died down. Ye Wan’er stood by, quietly watching him perform his Alchemy. It was the only thing she could do at the moment; she wasn’t allowed to wander freely within the Spirit Tower, so she had no choice but to remain here.

Yi Tianyun continued his Alchemy without a break, finishing one batch after another. He produced several batches of Life-Extending Spirit Pills in a single session, which took a considerable amount of time.

The other Spirit Race deacons had already taken breaks, but he was still concocting Elixir Pills. His stamina was nothing short of incredible. The Spirit Race deacons could only look at each other, at a loss for words. A few, after only a short rest, immediately got back to their own work.

They were all inspired by Yi Tianyun. If an outsider was pushing himself this hard, what excuse did they have to slack off?

Some time later, Ye Qingxuan suddenly rushed in. "Are there any more Life-Extending Spirit Pills?" she asked urgently. "We’re in desperate need..."

"Sister, you’re here!" Ye Wan’er picked up five or six bottles of Life-Extending Spirit Pills and walked over, offering them to her. "These are all Life-Extending Spirit Pills. Yi has made quite a few."

"This..." Ye Qingxuan was stunned when she saw the collection of bottles. She hadn’t expected him to successfully create so many in such a short time. She didn’t say much, though, simply taking them all and thanking Yi Tianyun. "This is enough for now. You should get some rest. Thank you so much! When this is all over, the Spirit Race will consider you a friend for life and reward you handsomely!"

"Ding! Successfully completed ’Save the Spirit Race’ Mission Part 1: ’Replenish the Spirit Race’s Elixir Pill reserves.’ Reward: 5,000,000 Experience, 50,000 Madness Value, +5,000 Alchemy Mastery Proficiency, +50 Spirit Race Favorability."

"Ding! New Mission unlocked: ’Save the Spirit Race’ Mission Part 2: ’Help the Spirit Race Repair their Divine Runes.’ Reward for completion: 10,000,000 Experience, 100,000 Madness Value, +10,000 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency, +50 Spirit Race Favorability!"

While Yi Tianyun was still processing the notification, Ye Qingxuan turned to her sister. "Wan’er, come with me. We’re in urgent need of fifth-grade Divine Rune Masters to repair the Divine Rune Array!"

"Okay, no problem!" Ye Wan’er nodded firmly, preparing to leave with her.

"Saintess, may I come along as well?" Yi Tianyun asked, getting to his feet.

’I have a mission now. Although it’s not mandatory, completing it will give me a ton of experience. How can I possibly pass this up?’ freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Well..." Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "You may. In that case, please come with us, Young Master."

Yi Tianyun rejoiced inwardly. ’Good, she didn’t refuse.’ Even if she had, it wouldn’t have mattered. He would have simply found a way to speak with Ye Qingxuan in private and reveal his identity sooner than planned.
