I’m a college student, and I got lost. Everyone here calls me Young Master Ji and advises me to accept my misfortune and move on.
Before I could even react, the daughter of the county magistr...
Chapter 199: Pill Broker
Enter the inner courtyard from the vast sea of forests, then turn onto the mountain path on the right and walk a few dozen steps. This is the path to the Xianju Villa.
The road is located in a very open area and there is no obstruction around it.
Therefore, the scene in which the daughter of Dan Zong dressed up and went to Ji You's courtyard early in the morning was clearly seen by all the disciples staying in the five major holy temples and the disciples who were trying to attain enlightenment in Zizhu Zen Forest from a bird's eye view.
Knocking on the door, having a conversation, and then being followed into the hospital, his words, actions, and facial expressions during the entire process were clearly visible.
They all knew that Ji You had been keeping a woman in his yard for half a month.
He also knew that Yuan Caiwei, the daughter of Danzong, really had feelings for Ji You, so as soon as he arrived at Tianshuyuan, he went straight to Ji You's yard.
They always felt that something would happen in such a lively scene, such as running out of the door, fighting and cursing...
Some people even thought that they might see Ji You kneeling on the mountain path, admitting his mistake to Yuan Caiwei, and saying that he would send the mortal woman away immediately to express his determination to marry into the Dan Sect.
But from last night to this morning, none of the expected things happened. Only the rising wisps of smoke shattered all the speculations in the smoke, as if Yuan Caiwei had come at the right time...
Many of them were actually waiting for an opportunity, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to host a banquet for the Danzong siblings in order to purchase the necessary elixirs.
After all, the Tiandao Conference is about to begin, and at this juncture there are many people who want to consolidate their realm as quickly as possible, or break into the upper realm as quickly as possible.
In the past, they could have done this by secluding themselves for a longer period of time, but in the current situation, taking pills became the best option.
But now, except Ji You, it seems that no one can see this pair of siblings.
"In this situation, I really don't know whether I should go..."
"It wouldn't hurt to ask, right?"
"But matters between men and women are too complicated, and matters between men and women are even more complicated. It is not something that outsiders can interfere with at will. I think we should send a letter to find out the situation. What do you think, Fairy Zhengxin?"
"Immortal Master Yang Shu has made a very thoughtful decision. So, why don't we send a letter first?"
It is no secret that Danzong always prepares spare pills every time it delivers pills, so Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin actually also want to ask for pills.
But considering that the situation in Ji You's backyard was unclear, the two of them were hesitant and did not dare to act rashly.
So after thinking it over again and again, they wrote a letter, tactfully expressing their desire for the elixir, and then gave it to a disciple in the head office to deliver it.
In this way, if it succeeds, it would be great, but if it fails, there would be no regrets.
At this time, breakfast in the courtyard had just ended, and Yuan Caiwei and Yan Shu were drinking tea in the main room.
The former did not explicitly say that she wanted to steal the man, and the latter was stubborn and unwilling to say that she wanted to get married, so the two of them get along like sisters who don't know each other's thoughts, and it feels very plastic.
Yuanchen was responsible for washing the dishes and roasting sweet potatoes for his two sisters. He was definitely a tool brother.
Ji You was much more relaxed. He sat on a stool and opened the letter handed to him by Ban Yangshu and started reading.
The Tiandao Association is held every five years, and the rules of the competition are that it is a defense competition between people of the same realm, so those who have reached the upper realm have the highest chance of winning.
Therefore, the demand for elixirs among the immortal cultivators who plan to participate in the Tiandao Conference is much greater than at any other time.
Ji You took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted them for a long time, and turned to look at Yuan Caiwei and Yuan Chen...
Not long after, Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin each received a fist-sized red medicine box.
The spiritual seal on the medicine box was removed, and the black elixir was placed inside. The elixir patterns moved like a living thing, and there seemed to be a faint immortal sound as the mysterious light flowed, which attracted the surrounding aura to flow, and the air sparkled.
Ban Yangshu held the medicine box in his hand for a long time, and suddenly he felt as if he was in a dream.
"This Qianyuan Pill has always been priceless. I got it so easily. Why do I feel a little nervous?"
"Yes, I had prepared a hundred taels, but Junior Brother Ji didn't even ask us for the money, which made me feel uneasy."
The two looked at each other, feeling puzzled, so they took the pills and went to Cao Jinsong's yard.
Cao Jinsong looked at the medicine boxes in the hands of the two men for a long time: "He didn't ask for money?"
Wen Zhengxin nodded: "Does Instructor Cao also find this strange?"
Cao Jinsong scratched his head, thought for a long time and said, "He has been extremely poor since he entered the hospital. He can't even afford food, let alone pills."
"Shouldn't they ask us for money?"
"No, I mean he has never bought any pills, so he probably doesn't know how much the pills are worth..."
The case was solved. Wen Zhengxin held his breath for a moment and thought, so that's it.
Ban Yangshu looked at the pill in his hand and said, "Even if Junior Brother Ji doesn't know, Yuan Caiwei certainly knows it."
Cao Jinsong hissed, "That's true."
Bai Rulong couldn't help but speak up after hearing this: "Brother Ji said he wanted it after reading your letter, so Miss Yuan must have given it to him without hesitation. How could she ask him for money for something her lover wanted? I think it's normal for Brother Ji not to know the price. It's normal for Instructor Cao not to understand since he has never been in a Taoist relationship."
Cao Jinsong was stunned for a moment, thinking, how can this be related to my not having a Taoist partner? Ban Yangshu couldn't help but pursed his lips: "No matter what, I think the money should be given, no matter how much."
Wen Zhengxin looked at Ban Yangshu: "Why?"
"Junior Brother Ji will find out how much this pill costs one day. I'm afraid I'll be robbed then..."
"That makes sense."
Bai Rulong touched his mouth and thought it wasn't that troublesome.
If Brother Ji wants to rob you, does he need to give you the elixir? Impossible! If his occupational disease strikes, it would be a reason for you to enter the door with your left foot first.
But what puzzled him most now was that there was clearly a woman in Brother Ji's yard, so why was it so harmonious.
Regarding this matter, he would rather take the risk of being robbed than not study hard.
Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin did not stay any longer and returned to the inner courtyard to prepare to refine the Qianyuan Pill they had obtained.
The news that the two of them each received a Qianyuan Pill also began to spread in the inner courtyard through the mouth of the disciple in charge who went to deliver the letter.
"The Yuan family siblings went to Ji You's place to have breakfast early this morning and were unable to be invited to the banquet."
"Also, the spare Qianyuan Pills should be gone, because today, Ji You gave one each to Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu."
Wei Han, a disciple of the Head Office, hurried down the mountain and came to Hongding Tower. He delivered the invitation that had not been sent out in the morning to Zhao Yunyue intact.
Before the princess could speak, Liu Junchi's face suddenly changed. He then walked to the front of the corridor silently, leaning back with his hands, his eyes gloomy.
[Self-directed and self-acted the rumor of marrying into the Dan Sect]
[My friend wanted to establish a good relationship with Ji You for the sake of the elixir, but I just smiled and said nothing]
Yesterday's words now sounded like thunder, rumbling in his ears.
"The Dan Sect's elixir transportation routes are divided into two routes, north and south, so Yuan Caiwei should have at least three spare elixirs of each type in her hands."
"That means there should be one spare Qianyuan Pill?"
"There should be one more..."
"How about we try to send a letter to Ji You? I heard that he loves money the most, so putting a banknote in it should have some effect."
When Liu Junchi was feeling extremely confused, he heard some discussions behind him and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Yes, Nishan Tianshuyuan is the last stop on the northern line, so logically there should be one more.
Liu Junchi looked at Zhao Yunyue at this time: "Junior sister, can you help me find someone to write a letter and take it to Ji You?"
Zhao Yunyue was still in a daze at this time. He looked up when he heard the voice and said, "Brother, what did you say?"
"I mean, can you help me find someone to take a letter asking for the elixir and send it to Ji You?"
"this……"
Before Zhao Yunyue could see him, news came that disappointed Liu Junchi again.
Yuan Caiwei did have the third Qianyuan Pill in her hand, but just now, the pill was bought from Ji You by a member of the Chen family's immortal clan.
Opportunities are like this, they are always reserved for those who are proactive enough.
When people heard the result, they sighed and some regretted why they did not take action earlier.
What is even more touching is Yuan Caiwei's attitude towards Ji You. As the daughter of the Dan Sect and a top fifth-grade alchemist, she even gave all her spare pills to Ji You, as if she was eager to marry him.
Everyone previously thought that Ji You was trying desperately to curry favor with Dan Zong, but it was completely the opposite.
What's even more terrifying is that if you think about it carefully, the daughter of Danzong is so unconcealed in her thoughts, but the two of them have not yet gotten married. Could it be that Ji You does not agree?
In the following period of time, the sale of the last Qianyuan Pill did not reduce the number of letters sent to Ji You's courtyard, but instead increased.
Because in addition to Qianyuan Dan, there are many other elixirs worth buying.
What's more, someone has now proved that the yellow and white things do work in front of Ji You.
So throughout the rest of the afternoon, news began to spread that some cultivators had bought spare pills from Ji You.
Changbai Dan, Longxiang Dan, Tianhe Dan, Biling Dan...
Inside and outside the Tianshu Academy, Shengjing City suddenly became lively.
Even those who did not have a temporary need for elixirs could not help but send a letter to try their luck.
If you can’t buy it, you won’t lose anything, but if you can buy it, you will make a big profit.
Even the second manager of Qionghua Pavilion couldn't help but write a letter, wanting to be a second-hand dealer.
At this time, Ji You was sitting in the yard, watching the disciples of the Master's Court running back and forth in his yard. He moved his fingers slightly, and then sent out pills one by one.
The amount of banknotes sent into the hospital was also increasing, piling up on the table...
The inner court disciples of Tianshu Academy were originally a bit pretentious, but as more and more people got elixirs through his connections, and even at prices far lower than they had imagined, some of them gradually began to lose their composure.
There were also some elders who were somewhat moved when they heard about this.
Because the elders of the Immortal Sect are also divided into different levels, it is difficult for some elders to obtain spiritual pills that are higher in grade than their own. There are also some elders who do not need to take the pills themselves, but have close nephews or nieces at home who need them, so they ask their trusted disciples to write letters.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It turned out that Ji You did have a lot of elixirs in his hands.
Countless disciples got the elixir from Ji You, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and happy at this moment.
But the surprise did not prevent them from looking down on Ji You.
In their opinion, Ji You's behavior is actually not much different from living off a woman. He is just taking advantage of a woman and there is nothing to be proud of.
Liu Junchi failed to get the Qianyuan Pill, so he settled for the next best thing and asked someone to buy him a Prajna Pill. Although it was not as mysterious and powerful as the Qianyuan Pill, it was still better than seclusion on his own.
In addition, his fellow junior brothers, Yao Chenglin and Peng Peng, also bought the required pills from Ji You.
However, what puzzled them was that Ji You's pills were really not expensive. Some of them were on par with Danzong's market price, while some were far below the market price.
The problem is that although Danzong's elixirs have always had a fixed market price, because they are rare and valuable, no one has ever been able to buy them at the market price.
Even if you have connections, you will still need to spend two to three times as much to get it.
"Did you take advantage of Yuan Caiwei's admiration to lower the price and get the pill?"
Liu Junchi sneered: "I'm afraid he won't even give the money, and might just ask Yuan Caiwei for it for nothing."
Peng Peng and Yao Chenglin were stunned for a moment: "Wanted for nothing? Impossible..."
Liu Junchi turned his eyes to the two of them and said, "Didn't the disciple from the Director's Office say that the two people who had a good relationship with him were given Qianyuan Pills for free? But everyone in Qingyun knows that Ji You is very tight with money. He wouldn't buy them for them himself."
"This...this is too shameless!"
"I think Miss Yuan was reluctant to refuse because she was in love with him, but he didn't even consider how to explain it to Miss Yuan after she returned to the mountain. If it were me..."
If it were me, this would not only be Liu Junchi's idea, but also what many people who bought the pills were thinking.
If I were the one Yuan Caiwei fell in love with, I would naturally ask for the elixir for myself based on my status, but I would never use it to make a fortune and betray the girl's true love.
He Lingxiu was standing outside the main hall of Zizai Temple at this time. Inside the hall were her uncle and several elders, who were drinking tea with the two Danzong guardian elders who came with them.
Because Ji You was selling elixirs in Tianshu Academy today, the expressions of the two Danzong elders were not very good.
He Lingxiu looked towards the direction of the courtyard and couldn't help but whisper to herself, "Acting like this is really a bit of a show-off..."
Zuo Qiuyang walked out of Zizai Palace and looked at his niece: "Are you talking about Ji You?"
"Um."
"Why do you think so?"
He Lingxiu raised her eyes and said, "He has not even started a relationship with the daughter of the Dan Sect, but he is relying on this relationship to openly sell elixirs. Although there is nothing wrong with this, it will inevitably make people look down on him."
Zuo Qiuyang rolled up his sleeves behind him and said, "You thought the same thing the last time he went on a diplomatic mission to the Snow Region."
He Lingxiu was slightly startled, and her brows suddenly frowned a little.
At this time, the night was already very dark, and the hazy moonlight gradually enveloped the area.
Yuan Caiwei gave Ji You a second diagnosis and treatment, then left his yard and headed towards Zizai Palace with her brother Yuan Chen.
When He Lingxiu saw the siblings coming up the mountain, she didn't think too much about her uncle's words and stepped forward to meet them.
"Miss Yuan, Mr. Yuan, long time no see."
"I hope you are well, Fairy He."
He Lingxiu smiled and said, "The two elders of Danzong are drinking tea in the hall. Please follow me into the hall."
"Today, there are too many things to do. I am a little tired, so I won't drink tea. I hope Fairy He will forgive me."
Yuan Caiwei took out a thick stack of banknotes from her bosom and said, "Please, Fairy He, give these to my two uncles."
He Lingxiu took the banknote and asked, "What is this?"
"Ji You bought the elixir from our Dan Sect with the money."
"?"
He Lingxiu took the banknote, looked through it for a long time, frowned, and then fell into thought.
She didn't even know when the Yuan siblings left. She only knew that the total amount of the silver notes exceeded the total market price of the pills sold.
Among them were several large-denomination silver bills, the banknotes used were printed from a bank dedicated to Tianshuyuan.
These large-denomination silver notes are rare, and when the Office of the Administrator sent Ji You to the Snow Region, they gave him these silver notes.
In other words, Ji You bought the elixir from Yuan Caiwei at the market price and sold it at a low price.
In other words, he made a loss to gain publicity and subsidized many irrelevant cultivators.
He Lingxiu didn't quite understand why Ji You did this.
Zuo Qiuyang looked at He Lingxiu at this time: "First, he got the fortune of the Snow Region Demon Stone from the Yunzhou family, and then he publicized so loudly that he could directly purchase the Danzong Spirit Pill. He did it for the cultivators in Fengzhou to see."
"Toyosu?"
"Ji You has organized some joint reclamation and joint harvesting, hoping to use the power of foreign immortal villages to reclaim a large area of Fengzhou land when spring arrives, but those immortal villages may not be willing to listen to him."
"Especially some of the owners of the immortal manors, they look down on those taxes and will certainly not cooperate in this way. Ji You needs the participation of the immortal cultivators, which means he will be in a passive situation. At that time, he will always bow to the immortal manors."
“But now that he has obtained the Snow Region Spirit Stone and the Dan Sect Spirit Medicine, everything is different. You think he is doing it for money, but in fact he has always been doing more for the people of Fengzhou who are plowing in the spring.”
Zuo Qiuyang rolled up his sleeves behind him and said, "The immortal villas in Fengzhou will soon know that Ji You can get the Danzong's top-grade elixir."
He Lingxiu raised her eyes: "Just for farming?"
"No, it's for the children in the family to grow up, and for those who go out to come home no matter how late. I was always curious about how he could do this, but now it seems that it doesn't seem like empty talk."
"He used the Snow Region Demon Stone and Danzong Spiritual Medicine as a price, which would make the foreign immortal village in Fengzhou stronger. Even if it is peaceful, it will only be temporary. Isn't Ji You afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble by doing this?"
Zuo Qiuyang looked towards the small courtyard on the southwest side in the night: "He naturally wanted to take this risk, and he might have felt uneasy, but he still chose to take it one step at a time."
In the small courtyard on a winter night, Ji You was taking a breath in the cold wind.
Today's treatment is to use Dan Qi to correct his meridians that were twisted by Qi, so there is some pain. At this time, blowing a little cold air can relieve it a little.
Yan Shuyi was standing outside the door at this time, looking at Ji You: "With the Snow Region Demon Stone and Danzong Spiritual Medicine as the price, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble?"
Ji You turned around and looked at her: "Back then, Chu He and Lu Qingqiu, including now Fang Jincheng, Lu Hanyan, and Puyang Xing, all took countless pills."
"?"
"What I mean is that no matter how fast they take pills and knock on stones to cultivate, they are only as fast as Chu He and his group, and Chu He is far less fast than me."
"Those Xianzhuang disciples in Fengzhou are all marginal figures of the aristocratic families, and have never seen any good things. They would think that since they can get the elixir that they can't even see normally, what's wrong with helping Ji You temporarily?"
“After I grow stronger, not to mention Ji You, the entire Fengzhou will be mine, and then the spring plowing will start smoothly. They will work hard for the Snowland Demon Stone and Danzong Spiritual Medicine, jointly reclaiming and farming.”
"When the plowshares of Fengzhou turned over the new soil, there were no more old-age homes, no more exchanging children for food, and no more starving people everywhere."
"During this process, the foreign immortal village gradually grew stronger, but when we turned around, we found that Ji You had become even stronger."
"Then they will suddenly realize that I am the tiger."
Ji You couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but the bite wound on the corner of his mouth began to hurt slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Yan Shuyi.
The young master was staring at him blankly at this moment. After a long time, he realized that there was something evil in his eyes. A trace of vigilance flashed across his pupils, and the sword energy began to rise quietly.
