"Fellow Daoist Liu, what brings you here today..."

Huang Ying greeted her with a beaming smile and a bow, treating her visitor with great courtesy.

Liu Feihua returned the bow and said with a smile, "I received the box of Heavenly Gui Pills that Sister Huang sent over, and I have come specifically to express my thanks."

Liu Feihua's features were as delicate as a painting. She wore a golden hairpin, and her pink, chest-high ruqun revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin, draped in a layer of mist-like gauze.

In terms of attire, Liu Feihua possessed a refinement that seemed out of place in the Flying Horse Market. In terms of demeanor, there was a natural, flirtatious charm in her eyes and expressions.

Huang Ying also possessed the mature allure of a woman, but standing next to Liu Feihua, she lacked that captivating, bewitching air and a certain degree of exquisite beauty.

Huang Ying did not mind this much; Liu Feihua was a cultivator of the Joy Sect, and her trade was the art of seducing men—there was no comparing herself to that.

The Flying Flower Courtyard that the other woman ran was, after all, a paradise for the male cultivators of the Flying Horse Market.

It was precisely because of Liu Feihua's status and the dozens of female cultivators under her command that Huang Ying had specifically gifted her thirty Heavenly Gui Pills to help open up a market for them.

For ordinary female cultivators, Liu Feihua would at most gift two Heavenly Gui Pills to let them get a taste.

During this period of giving away the pills for free, business at her Hundred Weapons Hall had improved significantly.

The efficacy of the Heavenly Gui Pills was also gradually becoming apparent.

The female cultivators were not fools; the pills she gave away were a hundred times more effective than standard ones, and they quickly realized that her Heavenly Gui Pills were something special.

As word continued to spread, more and more female cultivators came to beg for free pills.

For those she had not met before, Huang Ying would generally give away two Heavenly Gui Pills for free.

Gao Xian had given her five hundred pills, and she had only given away half so far.

However, Huang Ying no longer intended to give any more away, as the enthusiasm of the female cultivators had already been stirred up.

According to Gao Xian, the effect of "spreading the word" had been achieved.

The remaining two hundred or so Heavenly Gui Pills could be sold for over twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones—this was no small sum.

Huang Ying felt that Liu Feihua had also come for the pills; for beauty and youth preservation, the miraculous effects of the Heavenly Gui Pills were something no woman could resist.

There were high-grade pills that could preserve one's youth, but those were incredibly expensive—even she could not afford them, let alone most other female cultivators.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Gui Pills could regulate one's primordial yin, which was of great benefit to a female cultivator's practice.

Huang Ying sensed a big deal coming, and even if she did not like Liu Feihua in her heart, she became increasingly warm toward her on the surface.

Huang Ying led Liu Feihua to the living room in the main house of the backyard, where servants served tea and snacks.

"Sister Huang's courtyard is a tranquil spot amidst the noise; it is truly elegant."

Liu Feihua offered some casual praise, and Huang Ying responded in kind. After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Feihua finally turned to the main topic: "I won't hide it from you, Sister Huang, the Heavenly Gui Pills you sent are truly wonderful."

Liu Feihua had originally not cared for the pills Huang Ying sent; she never consumed such low-tier medicine.

She had simply given that box of Heavenly Gui Pills to the female cultivators under her.

Within a few days, she noticed that the cultivator's skin had become moist and lustrous, and the woman herself was full of spirit and looked much healthier.

She had initially thought the woman had made a breakthrough in her cultivation, but after asking, she learned it was because she had consumed that box of Heavenly Gui Pills.

Liu Feihua was greatly surprised. She took a few for herself to try, and sure enough, the effects of the Heavenly Gui Pills were extraordinary; after taking them for only two days, her entire physical state had been adjusted to a wonderful condition.

Realizing the value of the pills, Liu Feihua immediately ran to find Huang Ying, firstly to buy more, and secondly to inquire about who had refined them.

Liu Feihua asked with a smile, "I wonder if Sister Huang still has any Heavenly Gui Pills on hand? I hope you might spare some for me..."

"If Sister Liu wants them, I would spare them for you even if I didn't have enough for myself."

Since the other woman kept calling her "Sister Huang," Huang Ying found it difficult to keep up her airs, and their forms of address became much more intimate.

She smiled and said, "However, this kind of pill is not easy to refine. One Low-grade Spirit Stone for five Heavenly Gui Pills. This price was set by the alchemy master, and I am merely selling them on his behalf. I hope Sister Liu can understand."

"One Low-grade Spirit Stone for five Heavenly Gui Pills."

Liu Feihua nodded. This price was the same as White Dew Pills or Foundation Strengthening Pills. However, Heavenly Gui Pills of this quality were not something those pills could compare to.

She thought for a moment and said, "Sister Huang, I will buy one hundred to start."

Although the effects of the Heavenly Gui Pills were good, they were still rarely used. It was hard to say whether these effects could be maintained in the long term.

Furthermore, the efficacy of pills could vary from batch to batch.

For the same type of pill refined by the same alchemist, it was quite normal for some batches to be exceptionally effective while others were quite poor.

Although Liu Feihua was wealthy, she did not want to buy too many at once.

Huang Ying said enthusiastically, "I happen to have some on hand, so I will let Sister Liu have them first..."

Returning to the Flying Flower Courtyard, Liu Feihua went to her room and opened the medicine box, unable to wait any longer.

A small wooden box was divided into two layers, containing a total of one hundred Heavenly Gui Pills.

Liu Feihua casually picked one up and swallowed it. A wave of warm energy quickly dissipated into her internal organs, and she felt every pore on her body open up—it was indescribably comfortable.

After a long while, Liu Feihua let out a long, satisfied breath. This was the feeling; it was truly wonderful.

She looked at herself in a half-height bronze mirror and felt that her complexion was clearly better, and her skin felt even more hydrated.

She gently stroked the medicine box and sighed: "To be able to refine such low-tier pills to such a profound level, he truly is an alchemy master..."

Liu Feihua tested the newly purchased Heavenly Gui Pill, and the efficacy was as miraculous as ever.

To refine pills of such consistent quality, it was clear that this alchemy master possessed a high level of skill.

Recently, the men who frequented Flying Flower Courtyard had been consuming a type of blue Deer Antler Powder. According to them, this powder was dozens of times more effective than the ordinary variety, and it was exceptionally useful for strengthening one's foundation and essence.

The income of Flying Flower Courtyard had increased significantly because of this.

"Heavenly Gui Pill, Deer Antler Powder—both are low-grade pills, yet this alchemist can turn the mundane into the miraculous; it is truly impressive. I wonder whose handiwork this is?"

Liu Feihua could not help but sigh; she did not know much about the Lianyun Sect, so it seemed she would need to find someone to inquire further.

There was another point that seemed strange: logically, only Longevity Hall had the right to sell pills in Flying Horse Market.

It was fine for cultivators to trade a few pills privately, but for Huang Ying to sell Heavenly Gui Pills in such large quantities was a breach of the rules. Could it be that Huang Ying had reached an agreement with Longevity Hall?

Just as Liu Feihua was pondering the connections, a scantily clad, seductive female cultivator knocked and entered, her eyes immediately landing on the Heavenly Gui Pills sitting on the table.

The small, emerald-green pills were quite eye-catching.

The seductive cultivator's face filled with surprise: "Senior Sister, you managed to get the Heavenly Gui Pill!"

Liu Feihua nodded reservedly: "Mm, I got them."

"Senior Sister, share half with me." The seductive cultivator looked at Liu Feihua with a pitiful expression.

"There are so many sisters in the courtyard; I cannot give them all to you. Besides, I bought these with my own money."

Before Liu Feihua could finish, the seductive cultivator hurriedly said: "I will pay, I beg you, Senior Sister..."

Liu Feihua thought for a moment and agreed; she felt that Huang Ying must still have plenty of stock.

However, with so many female cultivators in Flying Horse Market, the volume would be immense if everyone bought even one.

While the reputation of the Heavenly Gui Pill had not yet spread, she had to make another trip to buy more!
