After returning, Ye Xiruo threw herself onto the bed, pondering the series of strange events that had occurred since arriving at Saintess Peak: the Saintess's attitude towards her, the deceased Elder Lian Si, and the events that had taken place in the library that day.
It was obvious that the Grand Elder sitting outside disliked him, using him as a pretext to suppress the Holy Maiden and impose so many restrictions. In contrast, the Grand Elder he encountered in the library was much more amiable and friendly. However, this could also be because he was a disciple of the Pill King Hall.
In short, this seemingly normal Mount Sainte is extraordinary in every way.
I had planned to go back after finishing my cultivation in the lotus pond, but now I have to risk being "watched to death" to go to the library to read books. There are millions of books on the first floor, hundreds of thousands on the second floor, several thousand on the third floor, and I don't know about the fourth floor, as it has nothing to do with me.
Finding a suitable book among this vast sea of books is practically an impossible task. Could the saintess's true purpose be to keep him on Saintess Peak? That doesn't seem to make sense either.
After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, Ye Xiruo, exhausted, simply fell asleep.
The next morning, after finishing his cultivation, he saw Su Shaxuan, dressed in white, arrive on a sword, descending from the sky like a goddess.
Good morning, Senior Sister Su Sha.
"It's getting late. Once you've finished breakfast, you can set up your stall. I'll take you downstairs."
"Oh right, I completely forgot. I'm supposed to be setting up a stall today. Please wait a moment, senior sister, I'll be ready in a minute."
Ten minutes later, Ye Xiruo, dressed in drab gray clothes, carried a white flag with the words "Selling Pills" written on it. The words "Youth Preservation Pill" were also prominently displayed, but she looked more like a charlatan than a con artist.
Su Shaxuan was speechless: "That's so undignified."
"If you're going to do business, why bother with saving face?" Ye Xiruo felt that her outfit was enough.
Su Shaxuan had made up her mind to keep her distance from Ye Xiruo today.
Ye Xiruo first practiced the basic sword techniques five or six times before taking out a small stool to sit down. Then she took out a white tablecloth, spread it on the ground, and began to arrange the pills one by one. After arranging them, she didn't forget to plant the flag and wave it.
"Selling pills! Selling pills! Ice Heart Pill to clear away poison, Pure Heart Pill to eliminate inner demons, Nourishing Essence Pill to increase internal strength, and most importantly, Youthful Beauty Pill to restore youth and beauty! Hurry and buy them!"
After Ye Xiruo finished shouting, she calmly sat down and took out "An Overview of Continental Geography" from her spatial ring to read.
His expression was incredibly serious; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was a diligent and studious student.
The disciples of Saintess Peak, who had just finished their morning lessons, rubbed their heads and ears simultaneously, wondering if they had misheard. Someone was selling pills near the martial arts arena? Was this person tired of living? Weren't they afraid of being dragged away by the Punishment Hall and put in solitary confinement? Were there thousands upon thousands of punishment spirit stones?
But upon closer inspection, the person selling pills with such an air of confidence must have some powerful backing.
Someone accidentally recognized Ye Xiruo's identity.
"Isn't that the guy selling pills...that one? With Elder Lianqing and Senior Sister Susha?"
"Young Master."
"The young master is selling pills at a stall. This world is simply too fantastical."
"I suspect that what I saw was a fake young master."
"I also suspect that I may have seen a fake Young Palace Master. The Young Palace Master is a future Divine Master, the little princess of the entire Pill King Palace. How could she just set up a stall like this?"
Yu Rong and Xi He exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in each other's eyes.
Isn't that the book-flipping maniac they saw in the library yesterday? So he's the young master of the Pill King Hall. No wonder he reads so fast. Alchemists' mental strength is much better than martial artists', not to mention he's the only Divine Master on the continent.
Thinking about the stupid things they had done yesterday, and Ye Xiruo's gentle and kind smile, the two of them felt ashamed.
I heard that the young master was only a first-grade alchemist half a year ago, but now he is a fifth-grade alchemist. This extraordinary speed is truly despair-inducing.
The pills Ye Xiruo just shouted about were all things they could use at their current stage. As for the quality of the pills, need I say more? With a Divine Master's help, how could they be bad?
Years later, she could still proudly boast to her disciples and grand-disciples, "I bought the Divine Master's pills, and I still have two left!"
Yu Rong and Xi He decided to give it a try in order to improve the foolish image they had left on Ye Xi Ruo.
Seeing that two familiar faces had arrived, Ye Xiruo put down the book in her hand and greeted them with a smile, "What kind of pills do you need? Feel free to take a look; the prices are all listed above."
"Senior, I'd like to ask if this Youth Preservation Pill is genuine?" Yu Rong's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"You've seen Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi these past two days, haven't you?"
"Yes, they look much younger. But the elders have achieved great success in their cultivation and have the art of preserving their youth, which is why they can stay young forever. We are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, and by the time we reach the Core Formation stage, we will have already lost our youth."
"Let me tell you something: the two elders actually took top-grade anti-aging pills, which is why they were able to revert to childhood age in just one day."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Before long, all the elders you know will be able to turn back into children."
"A top-grade youth-preserving pill must be very expensive!"
Ye Xiruo nodded. Sure enough, female cultivators always care most about their appearance; strength and such are all irrelevant.
"One top-grade Youth Preservation Pill costs 666 high-grade spirit stones."
Yu Rong and Xi He exchanged a glance, their hearts aching. How could it be so expensive? They each only earned three mid-grade spirit stones a month, yet a single top-grade Youth Preservation Pill cost so many spirit stones. How many years would it take them to afford it? This was truly cruel; it felt like going from heaven to hell.
"The top-grade Youth Preservation Pill is very difficult to refine, and the success rate is not high. The elders have already bought quite a few, so there are only ten left."
Upon hearing this, Yu Rong and Xi He felt even more desperate: "There are only ten Youth Preservation Pills in total. How can so many people possibly share them?" Moreover, they were both poor.
"You've misunderstood. The number of top-grade anti-aging pills is limited, but we have low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade ones in stock. Taking a few more will have the same effect as top-grade pills."
What should I do about erysipelas in my body?
"The pills I refine are several times more effective than ordinary pills, and they also have less toxicity. I also have Ice Heart Pills available here; it's more cost-effective to buy them together."
