Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

Even though Ye You stole Ye Qingtang’s spirit root, she has already entered Yunxiao Sect and Yunxiao Sect would only get rid of Ye Qingtang in order to protect their reputation.

“Qingtang will always remember grandfather Si’s warnings,” Ye Qingtang thanked Master Si from the bottom of her heart. Other than her father and second uncle, no one else would think for her so thoroughly like this.

“Luckily, you also have a new spirit root now. I won’t ask how this spirit root of yours came about, but you must treasure it. This is a chance given to you by God. The sect assessment is as difficult as climbing up to the sky. Fortunately, there’s still some time, and you must make full use of this time to finish preparations. It’s good that your father is in control of the Ye family now, and you’ll not be short of anything,” Master Si said.

Ye Qingtang nodded silently. No words could fully express her feelings.

Master Si only let go of the matter after talking to Ye Qingtang for a while more. Before Ye Qingtang left, he still specially had Si Ye to prepare many tonics for Ye Qingtang to bring back, although he knew that Ye Ling would not treat his daughter shabbily. He said it was to nourish her body after the debility from having her spirit root dug out.

Ye Qingtang could only accept it and store the Si family’s kindness in her heart.

After leaving the Si residence, Ye Qingtang headed to the Pavilion of Treasures to meet its manager.

After knowing that her spirit root can be grown, she had an even more urgent need for the Floating Pagoda.

Before she entered Xuanling Sect and obtained the Black Heaven Water, the Floating Pagoda was the best choice for her to nourish her spirit root.

“Lady Ye,” the Pavilion of Treasures’ manager greeted with a grin once he saw Ye Qingtang.

“Is there any update on the Floating Pagoda that I told you about the other time?” Ye Qingtang asked with a smile

The manager looked at Ye Qingtang with complicated eyes. Previously, Ye Qingtang had a huge appetite and wanted to monopolize all the Floating Pagodas in the Pavilion of Treasures under her. This act caught the manager’s attention: if there were no special effects, would Ye Qingtang be crazy to want so many Floating Pagodas?

He specially ordered people to repeatedly investigate any potential uses of the Floating Pagoda and had not agreed to Ye Qingtang’s suggestion for fear that he would accidentally sell off something precious.

But many days passed, and despite flipping through a room of books and asking other managers from the Pavilion of Treasures, he still could not find out what the Floating Pagoda could be used for. It was still of little value.

“Lady Ye, regarding the matter that you suggested previously, I have already notified the managers of the other branches, and they agreed to supply you with the Floating Pagodas.” The manager could only agree since he could not find out any uses of the Floating Pagoda and that Ye Qingtang seemed to have relations with his pavilion master.

Anyway, the Floating Pagodas had been piling up in the Pavilion of Treasures, and no one asked anything about it. With Ye Qingtang helping to sweep them off the shelves, it was also a great help to them.

“That’s good.” Ye Qingtang smiled satisfyingly. She knew that the manager definitely investigated the uses of the Floating Pagoda, but no matter how he checked, there was no one who would find out the real use of the Floating Pagoda within these few years.

Ye Qingtang directly took out twenty thousand gold from her space ring and handed it to the manager, telling him to deduct all future payments for the Floating Pagoda from there and that she will pay the rest if it was used up. Ever since the Great Elder was fired, the authority over the Ye family returned back to Ye Ling once again, and Ye Qingtang had much easier access to the funds.

The manager naturally accepted it grinningly.

After confirming her supply of Floating Pagodas, Ye Qingtang picked quite a few low-grade spirit stones from the Pavilion of Treasures and fed them to the little lightning dragon when she returned to the Ye residence.

The little lightning dragon barely came to after sleeping for an entire day and night. The dragon species were precious. While it would be extremely effective if normal spirit animals were fed with spirit stones, these spirit stones were merely snacks for the little lightning dragon.
