Upon hearing the question from the visitor, Brother Danyao shifted his sitting posture.

"Qi Refining Pills...and Bigu Pills, their effects...their effects are almost the same as the genuine products from the sect..."

Seeing the other person's disgusted expression, Brother Danyao quickly added,

"However, my prices are 20% lower than in the shop. Qi Refining Pills are only 8 spirit crystals each, and Bigu Pills are 16 spirit crystals..."

Ye Feng never expected that this guy, who seemed so profound when advising him, would be so utterly incompetent when introducing the goods.

They're just short a few spirit crystals, why are you telling them that?

"Seniors, my senior brother has only been learning alchemy for a short time, but his skills are already quite proficient. He can refine pills on his own, and even his instructors have praised him highly. You won't regret buying these bottles of pills; you won't be cheated."

Those capable of alchemy are at least outer sect disciples.

Once you reach the fourth level of Qi Refining and enter the outer sect, you can choose to attend classes taught by various teachers.

Although Ye Feng praised him, it seemed as if he had only said a lot of nonsense.

But it sounds different to the other person.

Those who can provide specialized instruction are all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To receive praise from a Foundation Establishment cultivator means one might become a Grand Alchemist in the future.

Hearing Ye Feng say this, the female cultivator, who had initially been somewhat disdainful, suddenly became interested.

I crouched down, opened the bottle, and held it in front of my nose to gently fan out a little fragrance.

Her delicate, jade-like nose twitched slightly, and her cherry-like lips parted slightly.

"Not bad. I'll take them all, no matter the price. I'll buy them as gifts for my junior sister."

Dan, who had been dumbfounded since Ye Feng started speaking, was barely able to speak. When he heard Ye Feng say he wanted them all, he became even more tongue-tied and incoherent.

Ye Feng quickly took over the conversation for him.

"Senior sister is truly beautiful inside and out. Junior sister will surely be very happy to receive this gift. Here are twenty Qi Refining Pills, fifteen Bigu Pills, four pill bottles, and a total of 44 spirit stones."

After saying that, Ye Feng had already packed it up in a small bundle. He glanced at Brother Dan's stunned expression and then said again...

"44 doesn't sound good, so let's just round it down. Fairy, 38 spirit stones will do!"

It was supposed to be a small amount, but it ended up costing 6 spirit stones. Even though she didn't care much about spirit stones, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng a few more times.

The woman nodded and took a small bag from her waist.

"Oh dear, now that we're at the Qingyun Sect, how can we let Fairy Zhiruo pay? I'll treat you to this; consider it a gift from me to your junior sister."

After the male cultivator next to him finished speaking, he handed the counted spirit stones to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng bent slightly and presented the gift with both hands.

"bite!......"

Seeing Ye Feng holding the spirit stones, standing there blankly, the man in formal attire said with some displeasure,

"What? Is there a problem with my spirit stones?"

"No...no!"

Ye Feng thought about how he had traveled over two hundred miles for a few spirit crystals, only to have the system play such a cruel joke on him.

My heart is filled with complex and unsettling emotions; I feel an urge to roar to the heavens.

But she could only force herself to hold back, her emotions a mixture of sorrow and joy; two tears streamed down her face as she tried to hide her smile.

"I...I'm just a little touched. I wish my senior brother would bring me gifts when he goes out too..."

The man in formal attire was taken aback by this, not expecting that this fellow was actually a man of strong emotions.

Seeing this, Fairy Zhiruo couldn't help but feel sorry for him; how much love and care this guy must have needed...

"Is this Crimson Pearl Flower yours? I'll buy it too!"

"Thank you! Thank you! I wish my senior brothers and sisters success in their Foundation Establishment and the prospect of immortality!"

Upon hearing this, the man in formal attire gave Ye Feng an approving look.

Fairy Zhiruo's expression turned solemn. She pressed her thumb against her bent and extended middle and ring fingers, holding them upright in front of her chest.

"Xin Zhiruo of the Luoshui Sect wishes fellow Daoist a successful Foundation Establishment and the prospect of longevity!"

Ye Feng: Uh.....

This was a proper greeting! But Ye Feng couldn't return the greeting, because he was merely a menial disciple...

Just then, someone reached out and helped him press down his little and ring fingers, making a sword-finger gesture, which he held in front of his chest.

Xu Hao of the Qingyun Sect

"...Ye Feng"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Seeing Ye Feng's clumsy movements, Xin Zhiruo glanced at the two of them one last time before leading her team away.

Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the group walk away.

"Do you know you almost caused a huge disaster just now?"

"All I know is that a menial disciple who uses Daoist etiquette will be punished by the sect!"

Ye Feng handed the spirit stones to Xu Hao with a hint of annoyance, but didn't rush to leave.

Today's system notification really gave him a new perspective.

The system is so flexible, it can even make money out of thin air. Wouldn't it be more practical for me to go and apply for a job at a shop?

"Ding! The system only operates on an individual basis!"

Ouch... Ye Feng felt a sharp pain in his tooth. Was he destined to be a street vendor for the rest of his life?

The thought of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator and chasing after others to buy things... sent a chill down my spine.

Xu Hao saw Ye Feng suddenly tremble and spoke up.

"Now do you understand? Fairy Xin is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If you don't return her greeting, she'll definitely hold you accountable if she fails her breakthrough."

Don't think she can't do anything to you just because she's from the Luoshui Sect. She only needs to give a word, and plenty of disciples will come to her aid."

Hearing Xu Hao say that, Ye Feng also realized what was going on.

Looking at that well-dressed senior's sycophantic manner... if he were like that, I would really be in danger.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng respectfully bowed to Xu Hao.

"Thank you so much, senior brother, for saving my life!"

Xu Hao blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No...it's not that serious."

Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle at Xu Hao's behavior. This guy, once someone was gone, he kept chattering away, but when they were around, he didn't dare utter a sound.

"Here, take this!"

Looking at the eight spirit stones Xu Hao handed over, Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, not by the amount he offered, but by the amount he presented.

The profit from alchemy is astonishing; it's at least double the profit!

Ye Feng didn't take it; instead, he pushed the spirit stone back. Just as Xu Hao was wondering what was going on, Ye Feng spoke up.

"Senior brother, could you please exchange it for pills? I'd like to resell them and make a profit."

Xu Hao's eyes lit up. He had witnessed Ye Feng's eloquence. If someone helped him sell his pills, he could focus on refining them at home with more peace of mind.

The two exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways.

Considering that Xu Hao, despite being an outer disciple, could refine pills on his own, Ye Feng felt even more hopeful about reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

I'll have to learn alchemy then! This guy makes money way too easily...

Today's gains: two spirit stones, 16 trading points from selling ten Bigu Pills, and the eleven Qi Refining Pills Xu Hao promised, which will be delivered tomorrow.

Ye Feng exchanged ten spirit crystals with Xu Hao.

I bought two baked cakes, and I still have to give Zhang Yang 1.1 cakes. I only have 8 spirit crystals and 80 taels of silver left.

Stepping outside the market, Ye Feng directly spent ten points to exchange for cultivation realms.

Qi Refining Level 2!
