A constant stream of hot air emanated from one of the rooms.

Four women gathered in the pavilion, their laughter ringing out like silver bells. Their loose robes trembled uncontrollably, as if because there were no men to cover them, the women did not bother to conceal their figures, revealing their slender bodies in their entirety.

"Sister Qingxi, Qin Xin has been refining pills for five days now, why hasn't he come out yet? Could something have gone wrong?"

Ya Ru, who was holding a wine glass and seemed a little drunk, said this.

Ya Ru's appearance has matured considerably. Her long, black hair is loose, and the wine in her glass exudes a powerful spiritual energy, clearly indicating that it is a rare and precious item.

"What could possibly go wrong!"

Wearing a long, slit dress, Qin Xue stood up and strode over to Ya Ru, snatching the wine glass away. "You should drink less of this spirit wine."

"No! Sister Ruijin, look at Sister Xue!" Ya Ru immediately pouted and said in a coquettish tone.

"Your sister Xue is doing this for your own good."

Mao Ruijin smiled and said, her beauty mark at the corner of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Alright, stop fooling around. If the teacher finds out you're all playing around here, he'll definitely drag you all back to the Fan Hua Pavilion."

Watching the three girls playfully bickering, Shui Qingxi helplessly rubbed her chubby cheeks.

Sensing the sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the side courtyard next to the pavilion, Shui Qingxi raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that Qin Xin is about to come out. You all better pack your clothes."

The few people, who were somewhat drunk, hurriedly got up and covered up all their exposed skin, and put their loose hair up in a bun.

Inside a room in a side courtyard.

Dozens of exquisite jade bottles were neatly arranged to one side, and of course, there was also a lot of black medicinal dregs in the room.

"call!"

With a soft exhale, Qin Xin suddenly opened his dark eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

With a casual wave of his hand, the jade bottle containing the Qi Condensation Pill and the Qi Explosion Pill was stored in the spatial ring on his fingertip.

The spatial ring gifted by the Eighth Elder had an internal space of one hundred square meters, far superior to his storage bag. Therefore, after obtaining the spatial ring, Qin Xin immediately imprinted it with his soul and moved most of the items from his Qiankun bag into the spatial ring.

As for the materials from some of the demonic beasts in the Qiankun Bag, he asked Qin Xue to sell them to the Inner Court in exchange for a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

After Qin Xin left the side courtyard, the laughter coming from inside the pavilion caught his attention.

"Cough cough..."

Upon arriving at the pavilion's entrance, Qin Xin deliberately coughed a few times, since his cave dwelling was currently occupied by the women, and it wouldn't be appropriate to enter directly.

"Come in."

Shui Qingxi's clear and melodious voice came from the pavilion.

Qin Xin paused for a moment, then flashed inside. As soon as he entered, he felt a strong spiritual energy. Looking at the wine vat that was already half-empty, he realized that Qin Xue and the others had been completely corrupted by this little girl, Ya Ru.

After glancing at the woman whose face was flushed, Qin Xin gently shook his head.

"I heard you're planning to sell elixirs?"

Shui Qingxi, perhaps because of her high cultivation level, was not easily drunk. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked at Qin Xin and spoke.

"Yes, but we still need to find some more manpower."

Qin Xin didn't hide anything and nodded slightly.

It's clear that he doesn't have enough time to do both alchemy and sales by himself. If he could invite some other people, it would save him a lot of trouble.

“No need to look for anyone, we can help you,” Shui Qingxi said softly.

"That would be best, of course." Qin Xin was naturally very happy to hear this.

"Hmph! Brother Qin Xin, we can't be shortchanged on our reward!" Ya Ru quickly interjected from the side.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits."

Qin Xin looked at Ya Ru, who was starting to walk unsteadily, and said with a smile.

“The main peak of Kunmen is currently quite noisy, and we are afraid that we alone cannot manage it. There have been quite a few conflicts on the main peak in the past few days. We need to recruit some people to the peak, but we mainly want to invite some disciples with alchemy talent and stronger strength. What do you think?”

Shui Qingxi has now joined the Kunmen main peak. After deciding how the main peak should develop, she came specifically to ask Qin Xin for his opinion, since the main peak was able to restart because of Qin Xin.

"It's fine if Sister Qingxi makes the decision. I know nothing about management matters."

Qin Xin was naturally willing to be a hands-off manager; he had no intention of getting involved in managing the main peak in the first place.

"Since you agree, that's good. I'll open the mountain gates and start recruiting people in the next few days."

Shui Qingxi has a decisive and efficient personality, with the demeanor of a female general. Through Qin Xue and others, Qin Xin learned that Shui Qingxi was leading troops in the Great Xia Dynasty, but he did not know anything about her background.

After handing over the management of the main peak to Shui Qingxi and the others, Qin Xin flicked his finger, and dozens of jade bottles were neatly stacked in the hall. The four women felt the powerful pressure emanating from these pills and all took a deep breath.

So many pills!

Ya Ru was surprised and immediately reached out to grab a few bottles, hugging them tightly and unwilling to let go.

"You can use these Qi Condensation Pills as you see fit during your cultivation."

Qin Xin wasn't stingy and let Ya Ru and the others use them as they pleased. As for Shui Qingxi, she didn't care about these Qi Condensation Pills. Now that she was at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, these Qi Condensation Pills had no effect on her.

"Let's leave the matter of selling pills to Sister Qingxi. I'm good at refining pills, but I have no experience in selling them," Qin Xin said with a smile.

"Did you already plan to be a hands-off manager when we moved into your cave?"

Qin Xue knew Qin Xin quite well and casually exposed his thoughts.

"Hmph! I knew they were up to no good."

Ya Ru immediately chimed in.

As for Shui Qingxi's attack on Mao Ruijin, he simply smiled and didn't get involved.

"I'm telling the truth, and didn't I say that you can use the pills as you please?"

Qin Xin saw through his thoughts and scratched his head awkwardly.

"I was just kidding. Leave the management of your alchemy workshop to me and Senior Sister Mao."

As Qin Xue spoke, she glanced at Mao Ruijin, who remained silent to the side, and the two women exchanged a gentle nod.

Upon hearing this, Ya Ru naturally insisted on participating in the management of the alchemy workshop. Under her persistent entreaties, Qin Xin had no choice but to agree.

At this point, all management matters of the main peak were handed over to Shui Qingxi, while the sale of pills was entrusted to Qin Xue and the others. However, before selling the pills, Qin Xue and the others planned to ask some low-level alchemists to refine some low-grade healing and cultivation pills, and then sell them together.

Of course, Qin Xin also told Qin Xue and the others that the price of the pills sold to the Kunmen disciples was cheaper than that sold to the other seven sects.

After the arrangements were made, Shui Qingxi and the others packed up and hurriedly left the cave, seemingly to attend to some matters.
