Chapter 81 The Pill-Selling Scandal: Turning Conflict into Peace



When Qin Xin awoke after a short nap in bed, it was already late. The setting sun cast its rays, dappling the bed.

Stretching and loosening his shoulders, Qin Xin was somewhat exhausted from the intense alchemy. Moreover, after dealing with Ruan Yang, a weight had been lifted from Qin Xin's mind, and his sleep quality was exceptionally good.

"Teacher, how long have I been asleep?"

Qin Xin, who had just woken up, couldn't tell whether it was morning or night for a moment, and asked softly.

"I slept all day, and it's already evening now."

Danqing's voice echoed softly in my heart, tinged with a hint of heartache.

"If we kill Ruan Yang, we shouldn't be discovered, right?"

Qin Xin asked, somewhat uneasy.

"No one will find out, don't worry."

Qin Xin was relieved to receive Danqing's reply.

"Gah..."

Just as Qin Xin got out of bed, still half asleep, the door was suddenly pushed open gently, and a plump figure cautiously peeked in. After seeing that Qin Xin was awake, the figure breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Boss, you can really sleep. You slept from early morning until night."

"Yuanbao, how was your harvest today?" Qin Xin chuckled as he saw the people peeking around.

"The Qi-restoring pills and blood-coagulation pills are almost sold out. These pills are relatively common, so they are easy to sell. However, many people do not know the effects of the heart-nourishing pills, and the price is more expensive than the heart-clearing pills. I tried to sell them to many students, but they were not willing to buy them. Only after my painstaking persuasion did some students buy one to try. So, only ten pills were sold."

Jin Yuanbao, with his large belly protruding, spoke happily, seemingly excited about the points he had earned from selling pills.

"Boss, all the points are here. We sold a total of two thousand points."

Jin Yuanbao gave the identity token to Qin Xin. Qin Xin glanced at it briefly, swiped 500 points, and left the rest to Jin Yuanbao, asking him to recruit some students to join Class 17.

"Give me the rest of the Nourishing Heart Pills, I have a way to sell them."

Qin Xin said calmly, then took the jade bottle from Jin Yuanbao's hand, took out five coins and gave them to him, "These are for you. Cultivating in the Spirit Forging Tower will extend your cultivation time considerably."

"I can't accept this." Although Jin Yuanbao wanted it, he instinctively refused.

"Take it. After all, you call me boss, so I can't treat you unfairly," Qin Xin replied decisively.

Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, Jin Yuanbao had no choice but to accept it.

"Boss, I'll go with you!" Jin Yuanbao said, scratching his head.

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Qin Xin led Jin Yuanbao toward the outer courtyard trading center.

Although it was already evening, the trading center was still very lively. As usual, Qin Xin found a stall and placed several bottles of pills in front of him.

"Boss, will this sell?"

Looking at Qin Xin's simple selling method, Jin Yuanbao was somewhat skeptical.

Just you wait and see!

Qin Xin, however, spoke with apparent confidence.

Before long, a number of students had gathered in front of Qin Xin's booth, discussing something among themselves.

"I heard that Senior Sister Qingqi bought the pills from this one!"

"Really? I've heard that the Nourishing Heart Pill is five times more effective than the Clear Heart Pill. Is that true?"

"How about we buy one and try it?"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Qin Xin couldn't help but grin.

"A single Nourishing Heart Pill costs 50 points, ten pills cost 400 points, and twenty pills cost 600 points. Of course, pre-orders are also supported, and you can pay a deposit first."

Qin Xin suddenly spoke loudly.

"What?! Fifty points! Why don't you just rob me?!"

Upon hearing the price, some students backed out, complaining that Qin Xin's pills were too expensive.

"Prices are clearly marked! Take it or leave it!"

Qin Xin was also very resolute, because he knew that selling this pill for fifty points was already a very good deal.

"My Sword Clan wants all these pills!"

A discordant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

After the crowd cleared a path, Qin Xin finally noticed the person who had arrived. He had a bright red longsword hanging ostentatiously at his waist, and his clothes were neat and capable, but his gait revealed an air of arrogance.

"Oh, it's you!"

The person in front of him looked at Qin Xin and said in surprise.

"What, Senior Huanhua is also interested in my Heart Nourishing Pill?"

A cold smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips. Although he had only met Huan Hua once in the Trial Forest, he could tell that Huan Hua was no ordinary person.

"Give me these pills, how about two hundred points?"

Huan Hua, with his head held high, actually made an outrageous demand.

"What are you thinking? It's only two hundred points, why don't you just rob someone!"

Jin Yuanbao couldn't stand it anymore and started to argue. Although the students watching all had the same thought, no one dared to say anything.

As a long-established force in the Weaponry Academy, the Sword Clan ranks among the top ten in terms of overall strength. People in the trading center generally prefer to suffer a loss rather than provoke them. This is because everyone in the Sword Clan is proud and aloof, and extremely protective of their own. If anyone dares to insult the Sword Clan, they will face a united attack.

"Oh? What, are you trying to go against my Sword Gang?"

Huan Hua grinned wickedly. He had long wanted to teach this troublemaker from the Weapon Martial Academy a lesson. It was precisely because of Qin Xin's existence that their Sword Gang had been ridiculed by the senior students of the Beast Martial Academy and the Earth Martial Academy many times.

"Was it right? So what if it was!"

Faced with the provocation that came to his door, Qin Xin naturally could not tolerate it, and he had no intention of selling the pills to Huan Hua.

"Good! You're very good! Tell me, how many points are you willing to sell these pills for?"

Although Huan Hua was displeased, he was unwilling to give up these elixirs.

"Brother, sell me twenty Heart Nourishing Pills for 600 points, and we'll resolve our previous conflict. How about it?"

Before Huan Hua's voice had even faded, a soft, melodious voice suddenly rang out, followed by a tall man with prominent eyebrows walking over.

"Jiang Xinghai! What, does your Xinghai Gang want to spar with my Sword Gang?!"

Upon seeing the man before him, Huan Hua's words were filled with hostility.

"You can't do it alone, unless you call over those guys from your Sword Gang."

Jiang Xinghai completely disregarded Huan Hua's provocation.

"Eight hundred points!"

Qin Xin didn't say much, but instead made an eight-shaped hand gesture.

"Deal!" Jiang Xinghai smiled calmly.

Seeing Jiang Xinghai's straightforwardness, Qin Xin could easily guess that he was trying to win a smile from a beautiful woman, Zhan Qingqi, while Huan Hua was entirely targeting Qin Xin.

Qin Xin took the student identity token handed over by Jiang Xinghai, swiped 500 points, and then returned the two jade bottles, each containing ten Heart Nourishing Pills, and the token to Jiang Xinghai.

"I hope Senior Jiang will take good care of me in the future."

Qin Xin said very politely that it would not be a good thing to make enemies everywhere in the Eastern Wilderness Academy. It would be a good thing to take this opportunity to make friends with a strong person in the academy.

"Oh? I like Brother Qin's personality. The matter of the Spirit Forging Tower was a misunderstanding. If you need anything in the future, just come find me in Class 2 of the Weaponry Academy."

Jiang Xinghai accepted the pills without any hesitation, left a message, and hurriedly departed, seemingly eager to curry favor.

At this moment, in front of Qin Xin's stall, Huan Hua stared at Qin Xin with a face full of resentment.
