Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu were naturally unaware of this. According to Qing Zhiyi, Xiu Qiyu's appearance forced many shady dealings to retreat, and the senior brother shouldn't have been so high-profile.
However, in the eyes of Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo, all schemes and tricks are nothing in the face of absolute power.
Xiu Qiyu said, "I am the senior brother, and I will protect Xiao Yezi."
Ye Xiruoshuo: "I am the young master, I will protect Brother Xiu Qi."
The two were truly a perfect match. That night, Ye Xiruo also experienced many novel foods, and in the end, her stomach was bulging. Then, seeing that she still wanted to eat, Xiu Qiyu consciously helped her take them and put them into her spatial ring for safekeeping.
The two of them didn't take Su Caiyi's little incident to heart at all. The mastermind behind the scenes had failed in this operation, and would definitely strike again. They just had to wait and see.
The banquet lasted for about two hours, and everyone had had their fill of fun. Xiu Qiyu was about to announce the end of the banquet and let everyone go home to rest. As for the most popular food of the evening, the results would be announced tomorrow.
Ye Xiruo never expected to run into an acquaintance—Yue Lianqing.
"Greetings, Senior Brother and Young Palace Master."
"Junior sister, you're too kind. You had a great time today."
Yue Lianqing nodded: "I am very happy. I am here to thank the young master for saving my life. I was wrong back then."
"Let bygones be bygones! I acted on instinct and overestimated myself. It was mainly thanks to Brother Xiuqi."
Back then, I was a hot-blooded young man. When I saw a beautiful woman in trouble, I rushed over without thinking twice. And what happened? Well, that was close; I almost got eaten by Meizu.
Fortunately, Brother Xiu Qi arrived in time and saved Yue Lianqing, as well as her.
"No matter what, if it weren't for the young master stepping forward, I would have already perished in the snake's belly." Yue Lianqing bowed deeply, placed a box in Ye Xiruo's hand, and turned to leave.
"She's your admirer?" To be able to face his rival in love so calmly, he truly has a broad mind.
"My junior sister and I only have the bond of junior sisterhood, not romantic feelings. I have already made that very clear."
"I know you don't need to be so nervous or serious. I was just joking."
Ye Xiruo opened the box, inside was a seed. Ye Xiruo used her wood-attribute true essence to sense it and found that it contained a pure and powerful energy, but Ye Xiruo did not recognize the seed itself.
Never mind, I'll just put it away for now!
“Junior Sister is Master’s adopted daughter. You know Master’s personality. Junior Sister practically grew up with us senior brothers, so we have a closer relationship.”
"I understand." So what if they're childhood sweethearts?
Not long after Yue Lianqing left, several female cultivators who usually surrounded her went up to her, subtly probing Yue Lianqing's attitude towards Ye Xiruo, and quietly stirring up trouble between Yue Lianqing and Ye Xiruo.
Yue Lianqing simply shook her head: "The sect leader has already given the order that the young palace master should be respected as much as he is respected. No matter what, have you all forgotten that?"
Seeing that Yue Lianqing was not cooperating, they were a little anxious, but given Yue Lianqing's status, they could not do anything to her.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll head back first." Yue Lianqing said goodbye and left directly, leaving the people who had prepared a bunch of reasons to persuade her dumbfounded. Was this a spoiled and willful young lady? Why did they feel like they could see right through Yue Lianqing?
Finally, Ye Xiruo revealed that the pill shop would have top-grade anti-aging pills, which immediately caused all the female cultivators to scream wildly.
"Young Master, are you telling the truth? How many top-grade Youth Preservation Pills do you have? Do you accept pre-orders? Should I pay a deposit in advance?"
Ye Xiruo smiled and waved her hand: "Please rest assured, everyone. The supply of Youth Preservation Pills is plentiful, and the price will not be too high. It's a friendly price. All you need to do is prepare spirit stones and spirit medicines."
"Very good."
"Young Master, you must accept my humble admiration."
"Young Master, do you need a leg accessory, the kind that can act cute?"
Just as Ye Xiruo had predicted, a single Youth Preservation Pill was enough to drive all the female cultivators crazy. It was a Youth Preservation Pill, and a top-grade one could maintain peak beauty for fifty years. For female cultivators in their twenties who hadn't yet successfully formed their core, it was practically a lifesaver.
The desire for beauty is universal, and the Youth-Preserving Pill was indeed as popular as expected. Ye Xiruo could already imagine the piles of top-grade spirit stones in front of her.
"At that time, the Pure Heart Pill, Clear Heart Pill, Detoxification Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Nourishing Essence Pill, Vigorous Essence Pill, and Light Body Pill will all be available for sale. Please come and patronize us." After dropping this explosive news, Ye Xiruo left with Xiu Qiyu.
After she and Xiu Qiyu left, the entire Luoxia Valley was in an uproar. Although they were only pills below the sixth grade, given the young master's alchemy skills, the quality wouldn't be too low. Moreover, they could be bought with confidence using only spirit stones and spirit herbs. They would definitely rush to buy as many as possible. Who knew how long the young master would stay in Luoxia Valley? It would be safer to stock up on more pills.
Did you have fun today?
"I'm so happy! I didn't expect that Sunset Valley would still have such a tradition. It's very interesting."
"The pills can be sold in limited quantities, so don't overwork yourself."
“I understand. Next time I deliver the spirit wine to Master, I plan to ask him for a few people to assist me. Your Merit Pavilion really needs some reform. There are too many impurities in the pills there, and the prices are too high. In the long run, this will not be conducive to the development of the sect. Hasn't Master Han noticed this problem?”
"With Master's keen mind, how could he not have noticed? He was just too lazy to care. Now that I'm back, Master has dumped all these things on me. So, whatever you want to do, just do it. I'll fully support you."
"That's more like it."
"How about we open the medicine shop in the area where everyone does their morning exercise?"
"Okay, I'll send someone to renovate the medicine shop right away."
"No need to rush. I'll use these next few days to refine more pills. I'm afraid we won't have enough and that will disappoint everyone."
"It's alright, I'll come and help when the time comes."
"Okay, and Senior Brother Zhiyi, you two help me count the spirit stones."
"How should the wages be calculated?"
"With your combined net worth, one hand-shredded chicken a day is more than enough."
Upon returning to the Crystal Palace, Ye Xiruo entered the spatial realm. The spiritual herbs within had matured by now, along with spiritual vegetables, rice, and fruits. Due to the presence of restrictions, Xiu Qiyu was able to enter and fully experience the changes within the space.
