So he went over and checked on his nephew's body. Finding nothing amiss, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, it won't kill you," Gu Yan said, glancing at the old man.

A moment later, the two people opened their eyes, both with expressions of joy.

"Senior brother, how are you feeling? My cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit," the middle-aged man said.

"Haha, me too. In a few months, I'll be able to break through to the Goblin Realm," the older man said.

He then stood up, bowed to Gu Yan, and said, "Young brother, we were blind to your greatness, please forgive us."

"It's alright, you can just spread the word for me," Gu Yan said.

"Of course, of course, don't worry, young man," the middle-aged man quickly replied.

So he grabbed his junior brother and turned to leave, only to bump into his senior uncle.

"Hey you two, you've got your eyes on the ground!" the old man cursed, unable to see him at all.

"Uncle-Master, you're here just in time! Quickly bring out all the herbs. This young man's pills have greatly improved my cultivation; they feel even better than those from Medicine King Valley," the middle-aged man said hastily.

Another person took the bag and walked up to Gu Yan, saying, "Young man, see how many pills you can exchange these for."

Gu Yan glanced at them and saw three hundred-year-old trees and dozens of trees of varying ages, the youngest being twenty years old and the oldest sixty or seventy years old.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll give you two bottles, and I'll also give you a few other pills."

"That's great, thank you so much," the middle-aged man said happily, quickly handing over the bundle.

Gu Yan gave him two bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills, one bottle of Body-Tempering Pills, and several Bone-Setting Pills.

They gave us a little more because it was the first batch.

Then the price was written on the sign: one hundred-year-old herb can be exchanged for four, one fifty or sixty-year-old herb can be exchanged for one, and one seventy or eighty-year-old herb can be exchanged for two.

Everyone who saw it was astonished; they hadn't expected it to be so expensive.

"How effective are those pills, fellow Daoists?" a middle-aged man asked.

"It's absolutely worth the price, much better than taking herbs directly, and the quality is even better than the pills from Medicine King Valley," the middle-aged man said.

"What? Then I'll go and try some too."

Suddenly, a figure darted past.

"You little rascal, you're so slippery. You were the one who looked down on us earlier, weren't you?"

"What are you dawdling for? Can't you see the quantity is limited?" an old man said, flicking him on the forehead.

...

Before long, half of the people from Medicine King Valley had run away and turned towards Gu Yan's place.

The people from Medicine King Valley looked displeased upon seeing this and were about to argue with them when a woman suddenly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the young lady."

Only then did everyone stop walking.
