Before the stall, Hong Miaomiao flashed a sweet smile and looked at Ye Qingxuan.

"Junior Brother, so you want to refine Qi Gathering Pills?

"The herbs for Qi Gathering Pills generally cost three Low-grade Spirit Stones per batch in the Marketplace. Senior Sister can give you a discount! How about twenty-five Low-grade Spirit Stones for ten batches of Qi Gathering Pill herbs?"

Hearing the price, Ye Qingxuan calculated in secret.

A normal batch of Qi Gathering Pill herbs could yield five to ten Qi Gathering Pills, while a single Qi Gathering Pill sold for one Low-grade Spirit Stone at market price.

There was profit, but not much.

The main reason was that Qi Gathering Pills were too easy to refine, and their ingredients were exceedingly common and cheap, so their price had been driven down terribly.

However, he was only using them for practice, so he did not care about profit in the early stage.

The herbs on this stall were very fresh, and the price was not expensive either. He did not intend to ask around at other stalls, so Ye Qingxuan said,

"Give me thirty batches of Qi Gathering Pill ingredients!"

"Alright, Junior Brother!"

When she did not hear him call her Senior Sister again, Hong Miaomiao unhappily emphasized "Junior Brother," seemingly reminding Ye Qingxuan of something.

On the surface, Ye Qingxuan seemed not to have Reacted, but A Hint Of amusement leaked out from his eyes.

After handing Hong Miaomiao seventy-five Low-grade Spirit Stones, Ye Qingxuan took the herbs and examined them, discovering that they seemed to have been freshly dug up not long ago.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan asked curiously,

"Senior Sister, where did these herbs come from? They're so fresh."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's form of address, Hong Miaomiao happily narrowed her eyes and thought to herself,

I don't want to say where the herbs came from, but he called me Senior Sister! What a dilemma!

Seeing Hong Miaomiao standing there with narrowed eyes in a daze, Ye Qingxuan found it inexplicable and called softly,

"Senior Sister? Senior Sister? Are you alright?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice, Hong Miaomiao instantly came back to her senses. Her face reddened slightly in embarrassment, but she still answered,

"Ah! Junior Brother, Senior Sister is fine!"

Then she sneakily looked around. After confirming that no one was paying attention to this side, she beckoned to Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan blinked and walked in front of Hong Miaomiao with curiosity.

When Hong Miaomiao saw Ye Qingxuan come over, she leaned close to his ear and whispered,

"These herbs! I gathered them from some small peaks in the Xuantian Mountain Range. Senior Sister is telling only you, so don't tell Other People!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes immediately widened.

"This works too? Isn't this just shearing the sect's sheep?"

Ye Qingxuan thought to himself, and the way he looked at Hong Miaomiao became strange.

Noticing Ye Qingxuan's gaze, Hong Miaomiao hurriedly argued,

"The sect has never forbidden me from picking Spirit Herbs in the Xuantian Mountain Range! Besides, the true Resource Points in the Xuantian Mountain Range are either protected by Restrictions or guarded by Disciples.

"The rest are all things the sect looks down on. What's wrong with Senior Sister making use of waste? Hehehe!"

By the end, Hong Miaomiao could not help growing smug.

The Corner of the mouth lifted slightly. Not many people were as clever as her.

After hearing Hong Miaomiao's words, Ye Qingxuan was speechless for a time. Thinking of the many mountain peaks near the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard, Ye Qingxuan's Heart stirred restlessly.

However, after glancing at the herbs on Hong Miaomiao's stall, Ye Qingxuan calmed down a little.

Most of these medicinal ingredients had only barely crossed the threshold of Spirit Herbs and were not particularly valuable. Going out of his way to search for such Spirit Herbs would be more trouble than it was worth for him.

After putting away the Spirit Herbs Hong Miaomiao had given him, Ye Qingxuan cupped his hands and thanked her.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for telling me. Junior Brother still has matters to attend to, so I'll take leave first."

Seeing Ye Qingxuan preparing to leave, Hong Miaomiao hurriedly called out to him,

"Hey, Junior Brother, how about we exchange Sound Transmission Talismans? If you need Spirit Herbs in the future, you can come find Senior Sister!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan considered it briefly before agreeing.

"Alright, Senior Sister!"

It would not cost him anything anyway, and he might need it someday.

After the two took out their Disciple Tokens and exchanged Sound Transmission Talismans, Hong Miaomiao happily introduced herself.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister's name is Hong Miaomiao. Remember it, okay? But you can only call me Senior Sister—you can't call me by my name!"

As she spoke, Hong Miaomiao waved her delicate fist as if threatening Ye Qingxuan.

Looking at Hong Miaomiao, whose temperament was like that of a Child, Ye Qingxuan could not help laughing and nodded.

"Alright, Senior Sister! Then Junior Brother will leave first! I'll take leave!"

With that, Ye Qingxuan left Hong Miaomiao's stall and headed deeper into the Marketplace.

He had bought the Qi Gathering Pill materials for practice, but he had Not Yet found the materials for other Medicinal Pills.

Having made the trip to the Marketplace with great difficulty, he naturally could not purchase Spirit Herbs for only one type of Medicinal Pill.

It was just that Ye Qingxuan had not yet decided which Medicinal Pills to refine.

His initial funds were limited. If he wanted to rapidly accumulate resources, he could only choose Medicinal Pills with greater profits to refine.

As for Refinement Difficulty? After all these years, Ye Qingxuan was still very confident in his comprehension.

But which Medicinal Pill had a larger profit margin?

Although the Lineage's Alchemy Inheritance contained many First Tier Pill Recipes, most of their effects overlapped.

The four Medicinal Pills Ye Qingxuan had mainly selected as candidates were:

Tier 1 Detoxification Pill: could neutralize most toxins at the Qi Refining Realm level.

Tier 1 Qi Replenishing Pill: could accelerate the Recovery Speed of Qi Refining Realm Cultivators' Spiritual Power.

Tier 1 Grass Returning Pill: could treat injuries inflicted at the Qi Refining Realm level.

Tier 1 Qi Gathering Pill: could increase Qi Refining Realm Cultivators' Spiritual Energy absorption speed by Fifty Percent, making it only slightly better than the Qi Gathering Pill!

However, Ye Qingxuan was not satisfied with these four Medicinal Pills.

Most Qi Refining Realm Disciples of the Xuantian Sect were responsible for sect missions. Aside from cultivators who specifically applied to Go Out and temper themselves, Other People did not have many opportunities for large-scale fighting.

Therefore, the market for First Tier Detoxification Pills, Qi Replenishing Pills, and Grass Return Pills within the Xuantian Sect was not large.

Although Qi Gathering Pills had better effects than Qi Gathering Pills, the improvement was limited, and the profit was not great.

While he was pondering, Ye Qingxuan was drawn to a shop that suddenly came into view.

"Hundred Treasures Pavilion?"

Seeing the shop's signboard, Ye Qingxuan's eyes lit up.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion covered an area of roughly three hundred square meters and had five floors in total.

After Ye Qingxuan entered, he discovered that the Internal Space was about ten times larger than it appeared from outside.

Clearly, a Spatial Formation had been arranged within the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, expanding the shop's Internal Space.

There were quite a few people inside. The moment Ye Qingxuan entered the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, a Shop Assistant dressed in Hundred Treasures Pavilion attire came up to him and asked with a smile,

"Customer, what do you need?"

Though he was only a Shop Assistant, he possessed Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. Even when facing Ye Qingxuan, who was only at the Qi Refining Realm, the Shop Assistant's attitude remained exceedingly respectful.

This greatly increased Ye Qingxuan's favorable impression of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, which he had only just encountered!

Thus, Ye Qingxuan also smiled and said,

"Hello, I'd like to learn about Medicinal Pills."
