Gu Yao and his two companions had not yet walked out of the inn, but the identity of the suspected immortal pill master had already been spread, which surprised the onlookers.
It couldn't be a real immortal pill master.
In such an exchange station, immortal pill masters are very popular. Why? Because alchemists don't like to go out for adventures. They prefer to stay in the Donglin City with a good environment, abundant resources, and comfort. There are maids and servants around them. They will run out to die when they are desperate.
Even if there are monks who know a little about alchemy, they are amateurs.
But is there a shortage of immortal pills here? Of course there is, and it is a shortage of resources. Those merchants transport the immortal pills here and sell them at a much higher price. But no matter how high the price is, the monks who come here to replenish their supplies have to buy them.
But the elixir had not yet appeared, and everyone was still skeptical.
A month later, Chi Changye walked out of the room, bringing the elixir refined by Gu Yao and Xu Chen, ready to find a shop to sell it.
The innkeeper asked the waiter to keep an eye on it and report to him immediately if there was any movement, so he rushed to Chi Changye first.
Chi Changye looked at him vigilantly. The shopkeeper knew that such behavior could easily cause misunderstandings, and hurriedly explained: "Don't panic, fellow Taoist, I just want to ask you if you have any elixir ready to sell?"
Chi Changye raised his eyebrows. Is he waiting for the elixir?
Selling is selling, so Chi Changye nodded and said: "Not bad, I refined some immortal pills and I'm going to go out and see the market."
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and wanted to see them first. Before he could speak, Chi Changye took out a bottle and handed it to him: "Shopkeeper, please see how much this pill is worth?" The shopkeeper
was overjoyed and opened the jade bottle to look inside: "Fuqing Immortal Pill, medium-grade?!"
Although Fuqing Immortal Pill is only a human-level primary immortal pill used to replenish the immortal energy consumed by cultivators, most of the pills seen in this place are
low-grade pills, and pills that replenish immortal energy and heal injuries are also the most popular here. The shopkeeper wanted to put this bottle of pills into his storage ring immediately.
"Shopkeeper?" Chi Changye reminded.
"Haha," the shopkeeper restrained his impulse, but still held the jade bottle tightly in his hand, "If the pills in your hand are all of this quality, I will take as many as you have, and the price will definitely satisfy you." Chi
Changye didn't mind who gave the immortal stones, as long as the price was fair, so he quoted two other human-level primary pills, which were also of medium quality. The shopkeeper bought all these pills without saying anything.
Therefore, not long after leaving the room, Chi Changye returned to the room. In addition to selling pills to the shopkeeper, he also negotiated a business, hoping that the shopkeeper would provide them with immortal herbs. The immortal herbs here are not abundant because there is a lack of alchemists.
The immortal herbs that originally cost more than 8,000 immortal stones were exchanged for more than 20,000 immortal stones. This was the reward based on the fact that Gu Yao and Xu Chen had wasted some immortal herbs. It can be said that they made a huge profit.
The cultivators outside had thought that Gu Yao and the other two had failed to refine the elixir because they had not come out for a long time. They were about to laugh at them, but the innkeeper raised the price a little bit and sold the elixir. All the cultivators were stunned. Do they need to tell them where these elixirs came from? Even if they didn't know it at first, they soon found out that these elixirs were bought by the innkeeper from the three ascended cultivators.
The monks outside didn't know whether to be happy that the exchange station finally had an immortal pill master, or happy that the three ascended monks would become more and more wealthy and worth robbing. However, they would never see the three ascended monks leave the exchange station in the short term.
The shopkeeper also had a background. He sent a message to send immortal herbs in. These immortal herbs were turned into immortal pills in the hands of Gu Yao and Xu Chen, but the quality remained at the middle grade. Not long after, the two of them traded their guns for big guns and finally used the genuine immortal pill furnace. They were so happy that they cried. It was not easy.
The monks waiting to rob were getting more and more disappointed. Some of them were star thieves roaming in the starry sky. The exchange station was originally full of people from all walks of life. However, once you enter, you must abide by the rules here, unless your strength exceeds that of the earthly immortal sitting here.
One year passed, two years passed...the three seemed to have completely taken root in the exchange station. The
three of them either practiced in seclusion or went out for a meal. They also spent immortal stones lavishly. Isn't the purpose of earning immortal stones to use them? Moreover, the three of them moved from the original guest room to the courtyard provided by the guest house, which greatly facilitated whether they were refining pills or practicing in seclusion.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Yao and his friends had been in the fairy world for fifty years.
The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter chatting with other monks, and the topic turned to the three ascended monks.
"They haven't shown up for many years, especially that Daoist Fellow Chi. How many years? Twenty or thirty years." Because in recent years, only two younger-looking monks were seen going out to the wine house, and the sword cultivator surnamed Chi was not seen. The
shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's right, Daoist Fellow Chi is in seclusion. When he comes out of seclusion, his cultivation will definitely improve a lot. I think the potential of the three of them is very good, and this approach is also very smart."
Seeing that the fifty-year protection period is about to expire, it will be easier for the three to hide, so smart people will choose to go into seclusion to improve their cultivation.
But most ascended monks can't do it. Why? Because it consumes a lot of immortal stones. Even if you rely on yourself to slowly absorb the immortal energy around you to cultivate, you still need immortal stones to rent a cave. Otherwise, there is no guarantee of safety when opening a temporary cave in the wilderness.
If there is a way, who would not be willing to seize the time to improve their cultivation instead of working hard to earn immortal stones.
"I seem to have heard news from Donglin City that the Tiger Squad has targeted three ascended monks, but the three ascended monks have completely disappeared in Donglin City. Some say that the three ascended monks are gone, haha..."
The shopkeeper has also heard about this. It is estimated that except for them, everyone who heard about this thought that the three ascended monks had lost their lives. Who would have thought that they were doing well in this exchange station with their alchemy skills.
"People with ability can do well anywhere." The shopkeeper admired people with ability.
"Shopkeeper, do you remember the time when the star pirates led by He Qiang were caught by an unknown monk? Speaking of it, the arrival of Master Gu Dan and his men at the exchange station happened around the same time as this incident. He Qiang has been tracking down the murderer for the past few years, but unfortunately he has not found any clues after 20 or 30 years of searching, and they themselves have been targeted by other star pirates, so they have no time to find the murderer."
The shopkeeper was also gossipy when talking about this: "Yes, the time is about the same, but this Impossible, there were more than just them who came to our exchange station during that time. He Qiang had three early earthly immortals under his command, but they were all killed. Gu Danshi and his men had just ascended to the sky not long ago, so how could they have such strength? He Qiang was very arrogant in the past, but he lost three early earthly immortals all at once, and his power was greatly reduced. If I were him, I would have grabbed the tail long ago. Why are you looking for the murderer so loudly? I am just waiting to be grabbed by the tail and my territory taken away."
"What you said makes sense, shopkeeper. He Qiang won't have a good life for many days anyway. By the way, I heard that woman Leng Su was also here a few days ago. If I remember correctly, she is also an ascended monk, and she has recruited several people with similar situations as her."
They were talking about Leng Su. After Leng Su and his friends came here to rest, they went out to inquire about the situation. They also heard that in the past few decades, three ascended monks came to this exchange station, one of whom was an immortal pill maker. The immortal pills he made were very popular among the monks here.
After inquiring about the specific situation of the three ascended monks, several monks looked at each other in bewilderment. When they arrived at the private room of the restaurant, someone immediately asked: "Captain, those three ascended monks, couldn't they be the three guys we met in Donglin City fifty years ago? They are still alive? They ran to such a far place?"
It was simply unbelievable. When they heard that the Tiger Squad was looking for them, Leng Su asked them to inquire privately. As a result, the Tiger Squad searched for a long time but couldn't find them, and finally the case was dropped. At that time, they also thought that the probability of the three ascended monks surviving was extremely small, but who could have thought that they would hear news about them in such a place.
If they hadn't heard the news here, they would have thrown the three ascended monks into some unknown corner, including Leng Su.
"That's impossible! Maybe they are other ascended monks, and maybe they are accompanied by senior masters." Someone denied it immediately, saying that they didn't believe that the three guys could run to such a place and settle down on their own.
Leng Su waved his hand, and everyone immediately shut up. Leng Su said, "Keep an eye on it. When will the alchemist come out of retreat? It would be best if we can do business with him in person. We happen to have some immortal herbs in our hands, and the pills sold by this alchemist are all of good quality."
"Yes, Captain."
Leng Su was also skeptical, but whether it was true or not, she would see the person first. To be honest, she was also very happy to hear that an ascended monk could have a foothold in such a place. The most important thing was that one of the ascended monks was an immortal pill master with good alchemy skills, which was even more worthy of their friendship. The alchemy hall in the Donglin City Lord's Mansion had always looked down on these ascended monks. As
the group was talking, suddenly the immortal energy outside surged, and thunder rumbled, which alarmed many monks to come out to check.
Leng Su was the same, and this kind of movement was too familiar to her. It was not the case when she broke through to the Earthly Immortal Stage. Therefore, she said without finding out the truth: "Someone is going through the tribulation of advancing to the Earthly Immortal Stage, and they are going through it in such a place."
"Captain, are they going through it outside?" The thunder was clearly coming from outside, not from the exchange station.
"Not bad, and the place is a bit far away. When the people here rush over, it may be almost over." Leng Su also admired the courage of this cultivator who was going through the tribulation.
The innkeeper was also very surprised. Could it be that one of the cultivators in their exchange station was about to break through, so he went out to find a place to go through the tribulation? The protective shield here could not withstand the bombardment of the thunder tribulation.
He looked towards the courtyard where Gu Yao and the other two lived. Strangely, the movement did not attract the three people in seclusion. They had been in seclusion for a long time.
The shopkeeper didn't know that there was no one in the courtyard. After the fifty-year period, the people who lived there changed their clothes and quietly went out to find a suitable place to transcend the tribulation. Although this was a bit bold, there were more powerful cultivators in Donglin City, and there was no real safe place. On the contrary, it was easy to cause the eye of the storm in the starry sky.
When they left, they changed their appearance and revealed their true cultivation. In the past fifty years, Chi Changye had made progress, Xu Chen had also advanced to the late stage of human immortal, and Gu Yao had even reached the peak of human immortal. So when the three cultivators left from the exit in such a grand manner, no one could have imagined that the cultivation of the three cultivators was in the middle stage of human immortal.
