He endured the pain in his meridians and took out some things from his storage bag.

After doing all this, Qingxiu's face was covered with beads of sweat.

"Oh, my body is really not doing well."

On the other side, Lu Ping was constantly refining pills. Generally, the initial training of an alchemist is limited to spiritual power and materials.

As for Qing Xiu, since he would not live long, he took out all his treasured common medicinal materials for Lu Ping to practice with. As an alchemist who could refine first-grade elixirs, Qing Xiu had a high reputation among casual cultivators, so he naturally accumulated a lot of common medicinal materials.

Now all these medicinal herbs have been given to Lu Ping, and he won’t be able to use them all up in a short time.

[You have refined a Rejuvenating Pill, gained something, and your proficiency increased by 1] [Alchemy Apprentice Lv1 (822/2000)]

[You have refined a Qi-sensing pill, and gained something. Your proficiency level has increased by 1] [Alchemy Apprentice Lv1 (833/2000)]

In the end, Lu Ping stopped after refining thirteen different kinds of pills, as the last one was the most difficult to refine.

Name: Qi-sensing Pill Level: First Grade

Quality: General

[A common first-grade elixir in the world of immortal cultivation, which can help mortals feel spiritual energy]

Lu Ping looked at the Qi-sensing pill and smiled happily, thinking, "Learning how to refine this pill means that I can at least be self-sufficient in refining pills."

The value of this Qi Sensing Pill is not low. Since it can help cultivators quickly sense the high consumption of spiritual energy, its price is also high.

Although he still had plenty of spiritual power, he was running out of energy. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Ping decided to go back and rest and continue tomorrow.

Day 2

Lu Ping was woken up by Qingxiu early in the morning.

"Ahem, Lu Ping, let's not go to make pills today. Come with me to the interior of Taihang Market."

Lu Ping had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. Upon hearing this, he quickly washed up and rushed to Taihang Market with Qingxiu.

"Master Qingxiu, what are we going to do?"

"What are you doing? Go and hand over the ownership of my shop."

Hearing this, Lu Ping stopped and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Transfer of ownership?"

"Tear, why are you stopping? Hurry up and go."

"Oh." Lu Ping started walking again.

"But, Master, why are you in such a hurry?"

Qing Xiu patted his forehead and felt that Lu Wu was right. This child had never been beaten by society.

"You, isn't it nice to send you something?"

"Okay, but I feel like I'm being greedy."

"alright."

Qingxiu interrupted Lu Ping.

"Your Ninth Uncle and Third Uncle and I have been friends for many years, so the inheritance will most likely be given to them."

"Now that you have become my disciple and have inherited my legacy, if I don't leave it to you, will I leave it to Dafeng Pharmacy?"

When mentioning Dafeng Pharmacy, Qingxiu sneered twice.

"Dafeng Pharmacy?"

Lu Ping had some questions. What was this Dafeng Pharmacy? Why was it mentioned suddenly?

"Humph, this Dafeng Pharmacy, I don't know how they knew I was seriously ill, and they actually wanted to buy my shop, thinking that I didn't know what they were thinking."

"You have to be careful, lest they use some crooked tricks."

"Ah, what on earth is that?"

Qing Xiu glanced at Lu Ping and explained to him, "I used to be a casual cultivator who had made some achievements in alchemy. I could have joined some big forces, but later these big forces found out that my spiritual roots were weak and my aptitude was poor. I was destined to be unable to build a foundation, so they gave up on me."

Qingxiu was a little angry when he mentioned this.

Lu Ping listened silently.

"Later, I practiced diligently and finally succeeded in refining elixirs. I became an alchemist and my status was comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator. When they wanted to invite me again, I turned my back on them."

"Because I didn't join a big power, I was suppressed by them and couldn't get any big orders. I could only take some work from independent cultivators."

"Originally they thought that independent cultivators didn't have any good things, but in fact there are a lot of independent cultivators, and with their numbers there are a lot of good things. Plus I lowered the price of refining pills, and it became very popular among independent cultivators."

Qingxiu continued.

"Over the years, I have accumulated a good reputation, which has attracted independent cultivators to come to me to make pills, forming a virtuous cycle."

"When you become rich, there will be people who are jealous. Dafeng Pharmacy is one such company that wants to copy my path to success."

"And then?" Lu Ping was listening with fascination when the conversation was suddenly interrupted.

"Everything was fine originally. The Taihang Market couldn't do anything, and they couldn't do anything about it. But then something happened to me, and I couldn't use my spiritual energy, and I couldn't make pills. Naturally, the business of the pill shop plummeted."

"But just because I don't go to make pills doesn't mean that independent cultivators will go to Dafeng Pharmacy. Independent cultivators will go to powerful forces or places with better reputations to make pills."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Master Qingxiu, I don't understand why casual cultivators don't go to Dafeng Pharmacy to make pills."

"Because the general rule of alchemy is that three portions of medicinal materials must be used to make a successful furnace, and the alchemist will also be given an extra reward."

"Once the success rate of alchemy reaches one-third, we will naturally make a lot of money."

"The Dafeng Pharmacy is different. They first put up a banner of free alchemy and waited for casual cultivators to come and make the alchemy. Since the alchemy is made in a secret room, casual cultivators cannot see it and will say that the alchemy has failed."

"In fact, he didn't refine it at all, but he took the herbs for himself, which caused a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Lu Ping found it absurd. "This, Taihangfang City won't punish them?"

Qing Xiu glanced at Lu Ping and said, "Punishment? What's the reason for punishment?"

"Besides, we are outside the Taihang Market, and we don't need to pay spirit stones to enter, so the market guards won't care."

"Those who were deceived were all independent cultivators without any backing."

Qing Xiu sneered again, "Of course, if a Lu family member like your uncle Jiu mentions the Lu family name, the Dafeng Pharmacy would not dare to do such a thing."

"So you understand, without strength, you won't get respect."

“That’s what casual cultivators are like!”

"Although this behavior has affected me a little, I have a good reputation after all, and there are still many people who have spread the word among casual cultivators, so the impact is not that big at all."

"But later, when Dafeng Pharmacy heard that I had been seriously ill for a while, they came to my house to buy the elixir shop."

"The location of my pill shop is not good at all. They just want the name of my Qingfeng Pill Shop and continue to deceive people under my name."

"How could I allow this to happen? I rejected them outright."

"They started to use some crooked tricks. After all, the name of an alchemist is still famous. Later, I asked the market guards to come once, and they didn't dare to do it openly anymore."

"Some time before you came, they even threatened Ming Lang, so I asked Lu Wu to take him away."

"So that's how it is." Lu Ping finally understood.

"This Dafeng Pharmacy is really despicable. How could it do such a thing."

"So, in order to prevent any further complications, I will go with you to hand over the ownership of the store."

"Yes, Master."

"But let me tell you beforehand, I hope you can run the pill shop well. If you don't want to run it anymore, you can sell it. But don't sell the signboard, it will cheat a lot of people."

"Don't worry, I will run the store well."

Qing Xiu smiled and said, "That makes me feel relieved."
