Danfu Building is the largest trading organization for materials for alchemists and talisman masters within the Zhenyang Sect's sphere of influence. Even for this small branch in Yunling Town, the daily trading volume is astonishing.

So Qin Gengyun had anticipated this situation before he came.

It’s not that the shopkeeper looks down on people or intends to make things difficult for them.

Because of their scale, even if they want to buy low-grade pills, they will buy them in batches and will not do such scattered purchases.

Qin Gengyun was well prepared for this. He took out a bag of Qingfeng Powder and said to the mustache shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, my Qingfeng Powder is of a higher grade than the ordinary ones. Would you like to take a look?"

The shopkeeper looked at him, and finally took the bag of Qingfeng Powder, opened the bag and looked inside.

Then, the shopkeeper's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Qin Gengyun again, his smile becoming a little more sincere:

"My fellow Taoist, how many bottles of Qingfeng Powder of this quality do you have?"

Qin Gengyun replied: "There are two bags."

The shopkeeper returned the bag to Qin Gengyun, and after a moment's silence, he said:

"How about three spirit stones for one bag?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.

Moreover, the price was similar to what he had estimated. He thought that since Danfu Tower had such a big business, they would not bother to take advantage of a small casual cultivator like him.

I agreed immediately.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything more and immediately took out six spirit stones.

Qin Gengyun handed two bags of Qingfeng Powder to the shopkeeper and took the spirit stones.

The shopkeeper with a small mustache said, "My fellow Taoist, if you still have Qingfeng Powder of this quality, you can come over anytime."

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper!"

Qin Gengyun walked out of the Danfu Building and touched the spirit stone in his arms. He felt more at ease than ever before.

He earned six spirit stones in one night.

This is his entire two months’ income from Lingdanfang!

No wonder everyone wants to be an alchemist, this profession is really lucrative!

Qin Gengyun walked on the bustling Caifeng Street and felt his whole body lighten up.

After thinking about it, he went to the Lingmi Shop and bought ten kilograms of Lingmi. When passing by Yanzhi Pavilion, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

"My fellow Taoist, do you want to buy some toiletries?"

A lady with delicate makeup walked over with a twisted waist, and when she saw Qin Gengyun, her enthusiastic smile paused for a moment.

Qin Gengyun also recognized her. This lady was the first person he had a blind date with at the Marriage Pavilion that day.

She was the female cultivator who earned two spirit stones a month, but required her Taoist partner to earn ten spirit stones a month, and also wanted three hundred spirit stones and a spirit vein fairy palace as a betrothal gift.

The two met again, both felt a little awkward, Qin Gengyun could only smile and said:

"Daoyou, I want to buy a jade hairpin."

"Okay, sir, please follow me." The female cultivator once again showed a business smile on her face and took Qin Gengyun to see several jade hairpins.

The things in Yanzhi Pavilion are indeed beautiful, but they are also expensive.

Even the cheapest jade hairpin costs one spirit stone.

As far as Qin Gengyun knew, the female cultivators living in Narrow Rain Alley rarely entered the Rouge Pavilion once a year because the things there were too expensive.

The female cultivator introduced Qin Gengyun very diligently, paused, and suddenly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, who are you planning to buy this hairpin for?"

Qin Gengyun said: "I bought it for my wife."

The female cultivator was startled for a moment, then smiled again and picked up a hairpin with a white jade lotus on the end:

"This is a white jade lotus hairpin. It is most suitable for married female cultivators to wear. It makes them look elegant, dignified, gentle and virtuous."

Qin Gengyun took a look and found that this hairpin was indeed much more beautiful than the wooden hairpin that Qiu Zhihe usually wore.

He nodded immediately: "Let's buy this one."

I paid 1 Lingshi and 50 Lingzhu to buy this lotus hairpin. Just as I was about to leave Rouge Pavilion, the female cultivator behind me suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how much dowry did your wife ask for when she married you?"

Qin Gengyun turned around and said with a smile: "My wife didn't ask for a betrothal gift."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

The female cultivator watched him walk away quickly and murmured:

"No gift? Is his wife a fool? Or is she too ugly?"

Qin Gengyun returned to the narrow rain alley, entered the house, and immediately said loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I bought some spiritual rice. Let's cook some spiritual rice porridge tonight."

Qiu Zhihe came out of the kitchen, looked at the magical rice in his hand, and nodded lightly.

Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.

We usually eat ordinary rice, so it should be a very happy thing to be able to eat spiritual rice today.

But looking at Qiu Zhihe's cold reaction, it seemed like he had already had enough.

But come to think of it, she had practiced in a respectable sect after all, and even her dowry was an alchemy furnace, so she must have seen a lot of the world.

Qiu Zhihe took the bag of spiritual rice from his hand and carried it into the kitchen with one hand.

Today Qiu Zhihe wore a black robe with plum blossom gauze pattern. It was quite close fitting and swayed as she walked, making her look even more delicate and curvaceous.

Qin Gengyun followed her in and stood behind her, watching her skillfully cut meat, light a fire, and cook porridge.

The bronze stove was placed next to them. Qiu Zhihe leaned sideways while cooking, which was quite a hindrance. Qin Gengyun said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, those two bags of Qingling grass sold for six spirit stones. I will continue to refine pills and sell them. With the spirit stones earned, we can rent a bigger house in the future."

Qiu Zhihe didn't say anything, but Qin Gengyun was used to it. He suddenly took two steps forward. Qiu Zhihe turned around, and a cold light flashed in her almond-shaped eyes:

"what you do?"

Qin Gengyun quickly stopped and took out the white jade lotus hairpin from his arms:

"I bought it for you. I wanted to put it on you just now."

Qiu Zhihe looked at the white jade lotus on the hairpin, and her cold eyes froze instantly.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you don't like it?"

Qin Gengyun noticed that she looked strange and asked quickly.

Qiu Zhihe looked at him coldly: "I don't like lotus."

"Ah?" Qin Gengyun was startled. "Then... I'll go to Rouge Pavilion to exchange for another one tomorrow?"

Qiu Zhihe turned back to cooking porridge and ignored him.

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to walk out of the kitchen.

He bought a hairpin for Qiu Zhihe, firstly to express his gratitude to Qiu Zhihe for giving him the alchemy furnace and Qingling grass, and secondly to use it to cultivate the relationship between husband and wife.

When a husband gives his wife a gift, the wife will usually be happy.

But looking at Qiu Zhihe like this, there was no joy at all.

All this effort was in vain.

Qiu Zhihe cooked the porridge and brought it out, and they both finished their meal in silence.

Qin Gengyun went to wash the dishes, and when he came out he saw Qiu Zhihe already sitting by the bed. He coughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Qiu Zhihe looked up at him, and Qin Gengyun continued:

"Can you grow a few more Qingling grasses of the quality we had last night? Danfu Tower seems to be in great demand for high-quality Qingfeng Powder. I want to refine some more and sell them."

Qiu Zhihe placed her hands on her knees, the black plum blossoms embroidered on her gauze robe tightly wrapped around her undulating curves, but her eyes remained cold:

"So you bought me a hairpin today, wanting to exchange it for the Qingling Grass?"

Qin Gengyun said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, you misunderstood. If you feel that you are being taken advantage of, I can buy it on credit from you at the price of 50 spiritual baht for 1 spiritual stone. When I sell Qingfeng Powder and make a profit of spiritual stones, I will return it to you immediately."

"It's time to go to bed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhihe raised her hand and extinguished the candle.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu? Ah..."

After thirty-five breaths.

Qin Gengyun lay in bed in disbelief, feeling pleasantly surprised.

I actually exceeded thirty breaths?

Oh my god, I’ve made it!

Qiu Zhihe had already turned his back. After a moment, he suddenly said:

"Tomorrow, I'll give you the Qingling Grass... No Spirit Stones are needed."

Qin Gengyun was startled, but saw illusory words appearing before his eyes:
