As a result, the first day passed, and business at Huitian Pavilion was said to have exploded. Female cultivators were practically fighting tooth and nail for the Youth Preservation Pill. They were killing each other, their pockets empty; the scene was unimaginable.

The next day passed, and the Youth Preservation Pill was still incredibly popular. Other pills were also selling well. It was said that the male cultivators almost knocked the door of the Returning Heaven Pavilion flying. In the end, Xiu Qiyu had to step in, throwing out a few troublemakers and teaching a few others a lesson before the rest of them calmed down.

The third day passed, and the entrance to the Hall of Merit remained deserted, with not a single person in sight. In fact, quite a few people came specifically to mock the place.

"Old turtles of the Merit Pavilion, you can hide in your shells from now on and never come out again."

"Hahaha, not bad, you old turtles, you've been ripping us off for so many years, aren't you afraid of getting your comeuppance?"

"This old bastard has done all sorts of bad things, cheating and swindling without restraint, so naturally he doesn't know what shame or shamelessness is."

"I think this Hall of Merit should be closed down! What's the point of its existence? No."

"Indeed, it should be shut down. Taking up such a large space, don't they feel ashamed?"

"With the Rejuvenation Pavilion and the Young Palace Master, who would still come to the Merit Pavilion?"

"That's true. After getting used to eating lots of meat and fish, it's really hard to get used to eating this clear soup and cabbage."

Someone even painted a lifelike turtle in red paint on the stone slab in front of the Merit Pavilion, clearly mocking the alchemists inside, suggesting they should stay inside and be cowards for life.

The only seventh-grade alchemist was always in seclusion, while the remaining two sixth-grade alchemists trembled with anger, their faces turning red.

"No, I'm going out to fight them! This is outrageous! Outrageous! A humiliation! A humiliation!"

Five or six fifth-grade alchemists were also uneasy. If sword cultivators of the same level had the strongest attack, then alchemists' attack power must be the weakest. Now they were being asked to go out and fight the cultivators to the death. Wasn't that courting death? Moreover, there were so many cultivators outside. Who knew if someone was instructing them to do this?

"You old turtles of the Merit Pavilion, if you have the guts, hide for the rest of your lives and never let me see you again."

"Every time I see you, I'll beat you up. Do you understand?"

"Kill these heartless alchemists! Have they lost all their conscience?"

"Thinking about all the spirit stones and elixirs I've been swindled out of over the years, I just want to kill those old turtles with my own hands."

It's no wonder these cultivators reacted so strongly; heaven and hell are often separated by only a fine line. If they had been living in hell before, then Ye Xiruo had shown them the splendor of heaven.

Although the mid-grade pills refined by Ye Xiruo couldn't compare to the top-grade pills from the Merit Pavilion, they were nearly on par with its high-grade pills. As for the high-grade pills Ye Xiruo refined, their effects were even better than the top-grade pills from the Merit Pavilion. And as for top-grade pills, she had never experienced them before.

The first reaction of these angry cultivators was that they were so happy. The pills from Huitian Pavilion were really good. They had complained that the pills from Huitian Pavilion were expensive before, but now it seems that they are not expensive at all.

The young master mentioned a "friendship price," which now seems incredibly affordable. Where else can you buy such high-quality pills? It's a pity each person can only buy two bottles a day. For pills like these, even going bankrupt would be worthwhile. My second reaction was anger. (#‵′) Damn it! Those old turtles in the Merit Pavilion sell pills at such high prices, and they're even selling inferior products! It's simply unbearable!

The Hall of Merit is a vital area of ​​Luoxia Valley and cannot be forcibly entered, but that doesn't mean they are helpless. This group of angry cultivators directly surrounded the Hall of Merit and did nothing but hurl insults, as if they were releasing all the grievances they had suffered over the years.

So, while the alchemists of the Merit Pavilion were still discussing how to strike at the Rejuvenation Pavilion—whether they should lower their prices or offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal—they realized that they were already struggling to survive themselves, let alone plotting against the Rejuvenation Pavilion.
