Ye Xiruo felt like she had suffered a thousand points of damage, and she felt so wronged.

"It's alright, Little Yezi, have you forgotten the pills you consigned to Second Senior Brother?" They're all made of pure spirit stones.

Ye Xiruo cried with a mournful face: "I was wrong, really wrong. All those beauty pills and aphrodisiac pills are just pretty but useless. At this point, everyone must want to buy pills like the Rejuvenation Pill, Detoxification Pill, Qi-Boosting Pill, Dragon-Tiger Pill, and Vitality-Boosting Pill."

"I remember Xiao Yezi still has quite a few of these pills stored in her ring! If we sell them now, we can get a high price for them, so it's not a loss."

"What do you mean it's not a loss? It's a huge loss! During my seclusion, I actually missed out on so many spirit stones."

"It's alright, we still have the restaurant's income."

"Let's go find our second senior brother." Ye Xiruo quickly sent a message to Si Hao, indicating that she had a big business deal to discuss.

Si Hao replied quickly. What a coincidence, his second senior brother was drinking at a restaurant.

"Perfect timing! Second Senior Brother is waiting for us at Zuixianju. Let's hurry over there." Ye Xiruo couldn't eat anymore after only walking halfway through the snack street. Carrying a large bag of roasted chestnuts, she pulled Xiu Qiyu toward Zuixianju.

This was the first time Xiu Qiyu had ever seen Zuixianju, and he was amazed by its understated luxury, which was evident inside and out.

Seeing Xiu Qiyu's expression, Ye Xiruo was extremely satisfied; this was exactly the effect she wanted: "I designed all of this; isn't it great!"

"You've left so many medicinal herbs here, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I definitely arranged for people to protect these spiritual herbs and the alchemists. Besides, I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to rob this restaurant that obviously has a powerful background. Do they want their entire clan wiped out?" Ye Xiruo sneered.

"Little Yezi, don't be so violent. You're always wiping out entire clans. Too much killing will be detrimental to your future cultivation."

"I know, I'm just saying, don't take it seriously."

Seeing Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu's appalling appearance and attire, the innkeeper did not show any disgust or contempt on his face. Instead, he asked the two at just the right moment, "Gentlemen, do you have any appointments?"

"Second floor, room number three."

A hint of surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes. He hadn't expected that these two equally shabby people, one fat and one thin, would have an appointment with Si Hao. He quickly said, "Sir, please come upstairs."

The green bamboo they inquired about along the way remained lush and verdant, exuding a serene and elegant fragrance that added a touch of refinement to the entire restaurant. Meanwhile, the pots of medicinal herbs not only broadened the guests' horizons but also quietly transformed the entire restaurant.

"The spiritual energy here seems to be purer and more concentrated than outside."

"You found out! This was just an idea I had at the time, and I just wanted to try it out. I didn't expect it to actually work." Ye Xiruo's chubby face showed her extremely happy mood as her thick eyebrows twitched.

"Little Leaf is very good."

"Esteemed guests, we have arrived at private room number three. Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room opened from the inside, revealing Si Hao's increasingly cold and upright figure. Upon seeing the opera singer and Ye Xiruo dressed in this attire, Liasna felt sad and a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal.

"Long time no see, come in."

After Ye Xiruo went inside, she comfortably leaned back in her chair, quickly ordered a few medicinal dishes and appetizers, and then sent the innkeeper away.

"It really is you, you never forget to eat."

Ye Xiruo yawned: "Wrong, what I love most will always be spirit stones."

Si Hao handed Ye Xiruo a black gold card: "This contains the profit share for the past few months. Keep it safe."

"How many spirit stones are there?" Ye Xiruo took the card and kissed it hard. Her second senior brother was so considerate.

"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"Not bad, that's a lot already." Ye Xiruo, who had missed out on hundreds of millions, finally received a little comfort.

"Second Senior Brother must have made a lot of progress. As soon as he came out today, he saw that the pill shops were packed with people."

"I only have so many alchemists under my command, and the number of pills I can refine is also limited." Si Hao's expression was very calm: "However, Senior Brother's pill auction is about to be held."

That's right. When the eldest disciple was in seclusion, he spent his time refining pills out of boredom, turning almost all the spiritual herbs he carried into pills. As a result, he broke through to the eighth rank of alchemist, becoming the youngest ninth-rank alchemist on the continent. Not many people know this news yet, but with this pill auction, Zishu's name will surely spread throughout the entire continent, astonishing everyone.

Although only six months have passed in the outside world, the senior brother has been cultivating for over a hundred years. A small breakthrough is perfectly normal for him, given his talent. The senior brother is going to be famous again.

Ye Xiruo felt even more depressed at this moment. Of the three of them, she seemed to be the worst off.

"Even my senior brother didn't tell me."

"You seem to have just come out of seclusion! If you come out as soon as you come out of seclusion, where is your senior brother going to catch you? Besides, what's the use of telling you? Auctions are all the same, utterly boring."

Ye Xiruo took out a spatial ring and placed it on the table: "These are the pills I refined. Most of them are high-grade, and some are top-grade. Their medicinal effects are three times better than ordinary pills. I asked my second senior brother to help me sell them. Otherwise, I would only be able to set up a stall outside, which would be so pitiful!"

"Stop trying to look cute, the face you have right now doesn't suit it."

Ye Xiruo was slightly embarrassed. "Second Senior Brother, do you have to be so sharp?"

"So, Second Senior Brother has agreed."

Five percent.

"Senior brother is so heartless," Ye Xiruo pouted.

"Likewise."

After Jing Li successfully broke through, Si Hao entered the Time Cultivation Chamber, but unfortunately, he did not break through. Si Hao's mentality was quite good. The Nascent Soul stage is a huge threshold. Throughout history, countless brilliant people have been stuck at this hurdle, unable to break through for years, decades, or even their entire lives. It was normal for him not to break through. Perhaps he lacked the right opportunity. Then, Si Hao naturally came out of seclusion with Zi Shu.

Soon, the medicinal food that Ye Xiruo ordered arrived, so she stopped talking and started eating.

“This is not Master Zhang’s craftsmanship.” Ye Xiruo looked up at Si Hao.

"With the help of your pills, Zhang Quan seems to be about to break through. He is currently in seclusion and hasn't come out yet. Here comes an old chef from the Pill King Hall with superb skills to replace Zhang Quan."

"That's right, Master Zhang is about to break through. I wonder when he'll become a Grandmaster." Then there will be even more delicious food.
