After finishing their meal, Xiu Qiyu, Qing Zhiyi, and Ye Xiruo went to visit the medicine shop. From the outside, it didn't seem like anything special, but Ye Xiruo noticed the exquisite dark patterns on the wooden windows and the faint fragrance floating in the air. Opening the door, Ye Xiruo's lips twitched a few times: "Isn't this crystal display case a bit too ostentatious and luxurious?" It's practically blinding!

"It's alright! These are just some useless crystals, not spirit stones, and they're not even as valuable as one of your pills."

Ye Xiruo: Do ​​you think I'm stupid? Ordinary crystals are indeed worthless, but you're telling me such a large natural crystal is worthless? Are you kidding me?

There are also several shelves with different shapes, but all of them have a very unique and refreshing design, which are used to display medicinal herbs.

Behind the medicine shop stood rows of purple bamboo, visible from the windows—every aspect had been carefully considered. Ye Xiruo was also somewhat moved. Originally, she had planned to simply open a medicine shop; after all, this wasn't the Drunken Immortal Abode, so the environment didn't need to be too elaborate—just a few shelves and a protective shield would suffice. She hadn't expected Brother Xiu Qi to give her such a wonderful surprise.

"Brother Xiuqi, Senior Brother Qingzhi, thank you for your trouble."

"Your affairs are naturally my affairs. Besides, this is Sunset Valley, and I can't let you suffer any injustice here."

Xiu Qiyu calculated the time and found that four days later would be an auspicious day for the pill shop to open.

"Little Yezi, have you decided what to name your medicine shop?"

"Huitian Pavilion".

"This is a good name. Sooner or later you will be able to refine a heaven-defying elixir."

"Isn't this too ridiculous? This tone is too arrogant."

"Just do what you want, don't overthink it."

"I'll have my master write a plaque by hand later."

"Hmm, the medicine shop has opened, but no one is helping out. How sad."

"And Zhiyi and I can also buy and sell a batch of servants to help look after the shop."

Ye Xiruo had heard the term "human trafficking" many times before, and from the initial aversion, she had gradually come to accept it.

Even though the servants and attendants of the Danwang Palace couldn't openly appear in Luoxia Valley, Xiu Qiyu's suggestion was a good option.

"Leave these matters to me. Xiao Yezi, you should finalize the grade and price of the main pills in the next couple of days."

"I understand, this is so troublesome," Ye Xiruo said, clutching her head, looking like she didn't want to move.

"It might be busy at first, but it will get much better once things are on track. Besides, Zhiyi and I will help you."

The three quickly went their separate ways. Xiu Qiyu went to find the sect leader to write a plaque, Qing Zhiyi went out to buy servants, and Ye Xiruo's job was the easiest, which was to determine the price of the pills.

The pills and elixirs she refines generally originate from her spatial storage, and most are of superior quality, with efficacy approximately one-third that of ordinary pills. Ye Xiruo has no intention of compromising on price. Currently, the number of pills she refines is limited, and she can't pursue a low-profit, high-volume strategy, so she'll continue focusing on high-quality, refined products. Once the people assigned by her master arrive, she can develop different series, allowing everyone to choose freely.

Ye Xiruo, holding a brush, quickly set the prices for various pills, though these prices were considerably lower than those at Saintess Peak. After all, the gap between the Heavenly Realm forces and Yellow-level forces was insurmountable.

In the Pill King Palace, Jing Li had already brought Fu Hua back and immediately went to see his master, the Throne Master. However, the result was not ideal. Fu Hua's internal organs and meridians had been completely corroded by the deadly poison. Although Jing Li had detoxified him, his physical condition was still very poor. He couldn't take any high-level spiritual medicines, otherwise he would explode and die. Now, he could only soak in medicinal baths to slowly recuperate. No one knew how well he could recover.

“His situation is different from Cao Rui’s. Cao Rui has true essence to support her, but the container that holds his true essence is half destroyed. It can be said that his path of cultivation has been completely cut off, unless he can change his fate or a true immortal descends to earth.” This was the throne’s answer.

"If Xiao Yezi can become a divine master, is there still hope for him?"

"The Divine Master has been gone from the continent for too long. No one knows exactly how much power he possessed. Now, we can only try to save his life so that he can survive until the day Xiao Yezi becomes the Divine Master."

The Emperor's judgment was similar to Jingli's own, but he was still somewhat disappointed. Even his master couldn't solve Fuhua's problem. Was there anyone on this continent who could?

Jing Li suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Wuming. Before meeting him, Wuming was in despair. After meeting him, Wuming remained in despair. Even alchemists are not omnipotent true immortals.

Jingli did not hide the truth about Fuhua's physical condition and told him the worst possible outcome.

Fu Hua calmly accepted her fate: "I was mentally prepared for this, and I'm not too disappointed. This is my destiny. I just didn't want A Ming to be too sad and do something foolish, so I persevered for so long. I'm also very tired. Every day of living is so painful. Sometimes I even think that maybe death is a better choice."

After receiving Ye Xiruo's message, Jing Li's mood improved slightly: "My disciple has become a sixth-grade alchemist. A year ago, she didn't even know what pills were. So, your chances are not small. Tomorrow I will have the elders come over to discuss your treatment plan. You should rest well."

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master."

Ye Xi's breakthrough in such a short time was somewhat unexpected by Jing Li. What kind of reward should he give her? Spiritual herbs were a must. What good spiritual herbs could that Yellow-rank power, Luo Xia Valley, possibly have? Her alchemy expertise and techniques for cultivating spiritual herbs were also essential. It was all that damned Xiu Qi Yu's fault; otherwise, he could have personally taught Xiao Ye Zi. Now, this was all he could do. He would send a message to the two Supreme Elders later, asking them to guide Xiao Ye Zi in alchemy when they had time. Jing Li was very worried about letting Xiao Ye Zi figure things out on her own.

And so, Jing Li's actions were almost exactly as Xiu Qiyu had predicted. When Ye Xiruo received the message, the shock on her face was hard to hide. She pointed at Xiu Qiyu and said, "I hate you, you jinx."

"The Palace Master Jingli is just concerned about you."

"I will not let my master down." But that's a story for another time.

Qingzhiyi bought a total of eight servants, four men and four women. Ye Xiruo's immediate reaction was, "Does a pill shop really need so many people?"

"Of course, since the quality of the pills is high and the variety is also good, we naturally need more people to answer questions and help the disciples choose the most suitable pills."

“Brother Zhiyi is right. Eight people is a bit of an exaggeration, let’s say six! Four inside and two outside.”
