Before she transmigrated, the original owner of this body, Zhu Yi, was an illegitimate daughter who was not protected by her family. She was bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters at home, and even her own mother refused to pay attention to her.
Whenever the original owner's birth mother and stepmother succeeded in their power struggle for favor, the stepmother and elder sister would definitely bring her over to torment her.
In fact, she couldn't understand the original owner's birth mother.
However, Zhu Yi deeply felt that the original owner was a kind and gentle girl, otherwise how could she have been bullied so badly by Zhu Qianying?
The original owner's birth mother was also a female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, named Bingniang.
She was incomparably beautiful and diligent in cultivation, making her the object of admiration for young male cultivators throughout the cultivation world at that time.
Based on Bingniang's conditions, finding a young and promising male cultivator to be her principal wife wouldn't be a problem.
But he just happened to have his eye on Zhu Yi's scumbag father...
Forget about those unhappy things, I'm busy refining pills!
Whether it's Zhu Yi herself or the original owner of this body, they should live well, cultivate diligently, and make money.
Zhu Yi has no family ties to the Zhu family, so there's no need for her to show mercy to Zhu Qianying, right?
Anyway, she needs to plan carefully. If she really encounters Zhu Qianying, how should she snatch the peach tree from a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Zhu Yi spent a day in the pharmacy. In addition to the 150 pills she needed to complete the task, she also refined an extra 110 intermediate-grade spirit-replenishing pills.
Don't ask why it's 110 pills. Refining 250 pills a day isn't a very pleasant number...
"Junior Sister, have you been busy these past few days?" Wei Weiwei sent a message via Jade Token.
While cleaning up the mess, Zhu Yi talked to her, saying, "No rush, I'm refining pills."
"Junior Sister, could you refine more Bigu Pills and Blood Clotting Pills? I'd like to buy more to keep on hand."
"Sister Weiwei, don't you still have the royal-grade pills that Master Yujing gave you last time? Why are you reluctant to use them?" Zhu Yi asked, puzzled.
Wei Weiwei patiently replied, "Yes, we really can't bear to use it! Royal-grade pills are too precious and not easily obtained. We're saving them to save our lives."
"Junior sister, don't worry. I asked you to help me refine pills, and I will pay you the due reward. I just feel that the pills you refine are better than others!"
Zhu Yi was very happy to receive praise from her friends.
"Sure, sure, but how do you plan to refine it, Sister Weiwei? Will you bring the herbs and I refine it for you directly, or will I buy the herbs, refine it, and then deliver it to you when it's ready?"
Zhu Yi looked around the room to make sure nothing was left behind, then went to the mission hall to turn in the mission.
She tries her best not to procrastinate and finish what needs to be done today.
"I'll trouble you to go and buy the medicinal herbs, Junior Sister. I don't know much about alchemy, and I'm easily cheated when I'm buying them!"
"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow to Fenglan City to mail a letter home. Is there anything you need me to buy for you?"
"Thank you, Sister Weiwei! I have so many things to buy!" Zhu Yi sent Wei Weiwei a shopping list without any hesitation.
Buy forty catties of spirit rice, ten catties of spirit flour, thirty slaughtered and cleaned hens, sashimi from twenty fish, one hundred spirit eggs, and twenty catties of green vegetables. Add salt and oil as needed. She concluded by saying, "Sister Weiwei, remember to bargain with the vendor! I'll refine the pills for you tomorrow!"
After Zhu Yi finished sending out the purchase list, she happened to walk into the mission hall.
Senior Sister Minmin from the Mission Hall was quite surprised to see Zhu Yi come to hand in her mission: "Junior Sister Zhu Yi, didn't you just come this morning to receive the sect's mission? Have you refined all one hundred and fifty pills?"
Normally, a disciple of the Pill Sect would need five or six days to refine one hundred and fifty intermediate-grade pills for a mission! How could Junior Sister Zhu Yi be so efficient?
"Hehe! Please call me Zhu Yi, the little alchemy expert!" Zhu Yi waved his hand, and fifteen ordinary ceramic pill bottles rolled onto the table in the main hall with a clatter.
One hundred and fifty pills, ten pills per serving, filling fifteen medicine bottles.
Senior Sister Minmin opened the box to examine the pills inside. Sure enough, each pill, about the size of a quail egg, was plump and white, radiating a lustrous sheen unlike other mid-grade pills. Under the light, they looked even more tempting.
Minmin couldn't help but ask her, "Why does this pill have a faint fruity fragrance? Like a sour spirit fruit?"
"Yes! It's the Sour Spirit Fruit! The intermediate-grade pills I refine not only taste delicious, but they also don't need to be placed in high-grade jade bottles to preserve their medicinal effects for a long time!" Zhu Yi smiled with a hint of pride.
After confirming that the pill was effective, Minmin registered Zhu Yi's sect mission contribution points and settled the spirit stones.
With fifty low-grade spirit stones, Zhu Yi felt like she had suddenly become incredibly wealthy!
The medicinal herbs she used to complete the missions came from the Mission Hall. After deducting the twenty-five spirit stones needed to rent the pharmacy, she could earn twenty-five low-grade spirit stones a day by refining them, which was quite good!
She reluctantly paid the two mid-grade spirit stones at the library this morning; she could earn them back in seven or eight more days if she worked hard!
Zhu Yi smiled broadly: "Making money while spending lavishly, not bad at all!"
Seeing how happy she was, Minmin was also very happy. She then recommended several urgent tasks from the sect to Zhu Yi, who readily accepted three more days' worth of work...
Over here, Wei Weiwei held the jade pendant and smiled, "Yes, yes! I'll try to bargain with the shopkeeper just like you did last time!"
"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?" Shu Chen's cold voice came from behind, startling Wei Weiwei.
The innocent smile vanished from her clean-cut face in an instant. Shu Chen's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he didn't really like Wei Weiwei's respectful manner.
Shu Chen asked casually, "Did Junior Sister Weiwei sign up for the sect trial in October?"
"Hmm." Wei Weiwei nodded. How should I put it? She didn't really want to see him right now.
She was very unhappy when Lanxiang said in front of so many people that she had deliberately seduced him.
Wei Weiwei felt like she was having hysteria. Senior Brother Shu Chen hadn't done anything out of line, but she always felt that the way he looked at her was a little different.
"If there's nothing else, Senior Brother, I'll head back now."
"How are your preparations for the sect trial going?" Shu Chen's voice was slightly deep; he wanted to talk to her.
"Yes, I know how to prepare." Wei Weiwei avoided his gaze and walked away.
Shu Chen remained where she was, staring blankly at the girl's slender figure.
He could sense that Weiwei didn't want to have much interaction with him...
