The residents of Windless City, whether cultivators or mortals, were all discussing enthusiastically the matter of the 'Heavenly Master' taking over the Alchemist Guild.

Those who were fortunate enough to witness Chu Tian walking into the Alchemist Guild's mansion, surrounded by Master Qiao and others, were all excited and boasting about it to their neighbors.

From the black and white feather cape on Chu Tian's body to the magical wooden staff in his hand, as well as all kinds of strange rumors about Chu Tian, ​​the only hot spot in the streets and alleys of Wufeng City today is Chu Tian!

Even Chu Tian's lavish decision to purchase the mansions of the neighbors of the Alchemist Guild and expand the Alchemist Guild's residence area tenfold triggered a frenzy of debate among everyone in the Windless City.

This enthusiasm continued even when Chu Tian left the Alchemist Guild, returned to Hancui Cliff, and announced that he would go into seclusion for half a month to refine several furnaces of elixirs.

The officials of Windless City were busy. The leaders of the five major families, together with the deacons of the Alchemist Guild, had friendly discussions with the neighbors of the Alchemist Guild, asking whether they could buy their houses to expand the Alchemist Guild.

Buying a homestead for expansion is the most cost-effective approach.

If the neighbors are unwilling to sell their own residential land, the Alchemist Guild can only spend a huge price to purchase cave spiritual treasures and fold the space within the original guild headquarters to expand the area of ​​the headquarters.

But the cost is too huge, and it makes people feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

Amidst all the commotion, Li Xiuer, a disciple of Han Cuiya and Li Linger's cousin, walked angrily in the market of Windless City with a group of followers.

Li Xiu'er, who is born pretty and charming, has the best relationship with Li Ling'er. She is also gentle and honest, and is very much loved by Chu Tian. She is also one of Han Cuiya's core disciples who has been taught the "Taiyi Divine Canon" and the "Nine Deaths Black Turtle Method".

Because Li Xiu'er is a few years older than Li Ling'er, she is considered to be one of the older disciples in Chu Tian's sect. She is considered to be a big sister-like figure and is very popular among the younger disciples. Naturally, a group of younger and senior brothers and sisters gather around her, headed by her.

A dozen little kids aged between seven or eight and twelve or thirteen followed behind Li Xiuer, their eyes wide open, constantly glancing at the magical herbs and medicines freshly collected from all over the Windless Canyon displayed in front of the roadside vendors.

This is a market dedicated to retail vendors doing business, and they specialize in the herbal business!

Compared with those large herbal medicine shops and wholesalers with official stores, the herbs sold at these street vendors' stalls are fresher and cheaper. Of course, there are occasionally fakes, so it all depends on your eyesight and luck.

"Senior sister, senior sister, what are you looking for? We have been wandering around for more than two hours, and our master has gone back... shall we go back too?" A little girl in her early teens grabbed Li Xiuer's sleeve and shook it hard, her sweet voice revealing a hint of naughtiness.

"Yes, yes, my feet are about to be worn shorter! Let's go back quickly!" Another younger child grabbed Li Xiuer's sleeve and wiped his nose with her sleeve.

"Ah, I'm so hungry. The kitchen... no, Master said that's the cafeteria. The fat lady in the cafeteria said that tonight there will be braised lion's head, braised pork head, and fried large intestine... The staple food is barbecued pork with rice!" A chubby little fat boy slurped his saliva, grabbed Li Xiu'er's skirt and shook it desperately: "Senior sister, let's go back? Look, I'm so hungry that my chin is pointed!"

Li Xiuer rolled her eyes, imitating Chu Tian's usual lazy behavior, put her hands in her sleeves, and sighed helplessly.

"Are you afraid of Li Youcai?" Li Xiuer glared at the group of little kids.

The group of little idiots were stunned, and nodded in unison, their eyes widened: "Youcai old man? So fierce!"

"The way he looks at people is so weird!"

"He's vicious. Senior Sister Ling'er said he's not a good person and asked us to put laxatives in his teapot when we have time!"

"Yes, Senior Sister Ling'er also said that if we find a chance, we should drug him, as long as the poison doesn't kill him!"

"Senior Sister Ling'er said he was a bad guy, so he must be an old bad guy!"

Li Xiuer rolled her eyes and sighed faintly: "Yes, Ling'er said he was an old villain... It was this old villain who asked me, Senior Sister, to help him bring back a hundred 'Black Heart Lotus' on the way!"

Li Xiuer sighed heavily and said with her head down, "But he only gave me three thousand spirit crystals! Only three thousand spirit crystals! I definitely can't buy it at the pharmacy. The pharmacy usually charges forty to forty-five spirit crystals per plant. I'm poor, so I can only come here to find a bargain!"

All the young boys shut their mouths. They were all menial disciples who had just joined the sect in the past two months and had just started learning the Dao of Alchemy.

Han Cuiya took care of their food and drink expenses, and also gave them some pocket money. However, their pocket money was just some copper coins used in the secular world, not even a single spiritual crystal!

"What a cunning old villain!" The little rascals calculated the spiritual crystals needed for one hundred black heart lotuses and sighed at the same time.

The price difference is too big. If Li Xiuer goes to the pharmacy to buy it, she will lose at least one thousand spirit crystals!

To Han Cuiya, one thousand spirit crystals are nothing.

To Li Xiuer, one thousand spirit crystals was a lot of money. After all, although she had learned how to refine a lot of elixirs, and she also refined a lot of different kinds of elixirs in Hancui Cliff on weekdays, the problem was that the spirit crystals from the sale of the elixirs were all put into the public account, and Li Xiuer herself could not get much!

The spiritual crystals that fell into her hands were just enough for her to use for cultivation, and there was not much left over.

She really couldn't afford to give Li Youcai a thousand spirit crystals to fill the hole!

Besides, Li Youcai hired her to help run errands to buy herbs, so why should she fill in the gaps for this old man? Li Youcai is the elder, she is the younger, Li Youcai is her great uncle, not her real grandfather, no matter how filial she is, she can't be so filial!

"Ah~ It's so annoying!" Li Xiuer rubbed her hair hard, making her beautiful hair messy like a crazy woman.

Li Xiuer stomped her feet hard and said through gritted teeth, "Brothers, hold on for another quarter of an hour. If we still can't find it, we'll go back and fight that old guy! Well, well, let Uncle Dali help us out!"

The eyes of all the little kids suddenly lit up and they cheered in unison.

At this moment, the fat boy who had been muttering about eating dinner suddenly pointed at a sly vendor on the street corner and said, "Sister Xiu, Sister Xiu, is this black lotus? It looks like a lotus, but the core is pitch black. There are so many of them!"

Li Xiuer was stunned. She turned her head suddenly and looked over. Sure enough, there were at least fifty black heart lotus plants neatly stacked on the stall!

"Ha, that old guy actually has such luck?" Rolling up his sleeves, Li Xiuer walked towards the peddler with a big horse and a dozen little kids jumped and jumped in front of him.
