Selling Pills (Please Keep Reading, Tomorrow Is Especially Important)

At Ye Family Shop, they watched the two Feather Transformation Sect cultivators depart.

Ye Xinghe's gaze turned somewhat cold.

His eyes looked far into the distance, but his expression no longer carried its previous beaming smile.

"Jingcheng, your rewards will be exchanged by the family for contribution points. As for the welcome banquet, it'll have to be postponed!" Ye Xinghe said helplessly to Ye Jingcheng.

Since there was a Bloodheart Pill, the Ye Family would certainly have to purchase it!

The price of a Bloodheart Pill was no cheaper than that of a Foundation Establishment Pill!

A Foundation Establishment Pill represented a cultivator's leap from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment, while a Bloodheart Pill determined whether a Foundation Establishment cultivator could gain another life.

At present, the Ye Family's clan-protecting spirit beast needed a Bloodheart Pill.

In recent years, they had also constantly searched for spirit medicines for the clan-protecting spirit beast, leaving the family's finances in poor shape.

Ye Jingcheng expressed his understanding, but upon hearing about the auction, his attention was drawn to the Red Dragon Fruit!

That shop assistant from Supreme One Pavilion had said there would also be some at the auction, so it was almost certain. Though he was merely a shop assistant, he had been sharp-witted and should not have been mistaken!

That meant Ye Jingcheng needed to prepare spirit stones for the Red Dragon Fruit.

At the moment, although he still had nearly three or four hundred contribution points, the family could not exchange them for spirit stones now.

He only had around thirty spirit stones in his storage pouch.

For that, he could only think of a solution himself.

"Uncle, do we have any alchemy assignments lately?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"No!" Ye Xinghe shook his head and entered the room as well.

Judging by his purpose, Ye Jingcheng felt that he had likely gone to discuss matters with the Ye Family's Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Fortunately, the Ye Family had made an extra preparation in advance!

Otherwise, making a round trip from Taihang Marketplace to the Ye Family's Soaring Cloud Peak in five days would have been difficult enough!

At that point, there truly would have been no way to obtain a Bloodheart Pill!

"Thirteenth Aunt, can I exchange some contribution points for spirit herbs? My purse is rather empty these days..." Ye Jingcheng looked to Ye Xinghong and asked.

He had to secure the Red Dragon Fruit.

It concerned the Crimson Flame Fox, and if he had guessed correctly, it might enhance the Crimson Flame Fox's bloodline.

"Of course you can!" Ye Xinghong nodded. With this batch of the family's goods nearly sold out, there would not be so many main customers next time. After all, cultivators rarely bought spirit pills unless they were venturing into the Taihang Mountain Range or preparing for a breakthrough.

The same was even more true for magical artifacts. Many cultivators never wished to leave the marketplace for their entire lives, and a single magical artifact could possibly serve them until they were bent with age!

"Thirteenth Aunt, I'd like five sets of spirit herbs for refining Azure Spirit Pills, five sets for Body Tempering Pills, and three sets for Qi Recovery Pills!"

Ye Jingcheng took out his family token and had Ye Xinghong deduct the contribution points!

Ye Xinghong quickly nodded. After going behind the counter to calculate the cost, she handed the items to Ye Jingcheng.

"These cost you a total of fifty contribution points!" After Ye Xinghong spoke, Ye Jingcheng entered the room as well.

He did not begin refining pills immediately. Instead, he cultivated for a while and only began once he had raised his mental state to its peak!

At that moment, the Crimson Flame Fox also yawned and slowly began gathering flames!

After refining spirit pills for three days, Ye Jingcheng finally left his room!

Naturally, he could not pocket the spirit stones from pills sold by the family, but selling them at a street stall was another matter.

He only needed to lower the price slightly. Compared with the mixed bag of good and bad pills at the street stalls, he was far more confident in his own.

Ye Jingcheng changed out of the Ye Family's attire, then borrowed a spirit-shielding bamboo hat from Ye Jinghao.

After making sure he was wrapped up from head to toe without a single gap, he left through the small path commonly used by Ye Family cultivators in Taihang Marketplace. Only after circling around did he reenter the marketplace.

This time, his destination was the street-stall area of Taihang Marketplace.

He had researched it—his sort of attire was not uncommon in the street-stall area!

After all, there were always cultivators who would not even let a scrap of mosquito meat go to waste. If someone took a fancy to their magical artifacts or treasures, they might follow them when they left the marketplace!

Although cultivators were forbidden from fighting within a thousand li of Taihang Marketplace, everyone preferred to avoid trouble where possible!

Ye Jingcheng spent one spirit stone to occupy a stall somewhat farther inside. A stall here cost one spirit stone for three days.

The stalls near the street entrance had already been claimed by quite a few Rogue Cultivators.

"Selling spirit pills! Come take a look, have a look! Buy more, and I'll throw in a Spirit Feeding Pill!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly shouted.

That shout drew the attention of quite a few cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng's words sounded somewhat green!

Unlike those seasoned cultivators, whose voices were deep and steady!

That was precisely what many cultivators liked. The young were ignorant and inexperienced, bringing out their elders' treasures to sell at stalls!

Those seasoned old hands, on the other hand, looked shrewd and crafty at a glance.

Thus, several cultivators quickly walked over.

Especially when Ye Jingcheng called out about discounts, he instantly stood out among the street stalls.

"How much are your Azure Spirit Pills?" Some seasoned cultivators had already guessed from the quality of the Azure Spirit Pills that Ye Jingcheng was the child of some clan.

The cultivators manning nearby stalls glared viciously at Ye Jingcheng. At the street corner especially, some even packed up their stalls and walked over to his.

"Azure Spirit Pills, eight spirit stones each. Qi-Blood Pills, six spirit stones each. Body Tempering Pills, six spirit stones each. Qi Recovery Pills, six spirit stones each. Spirit Feeding Pills are not for sale, only given away. Spend more than fifty spirit stones and get one free. There are only five in total—once they're gone, that's it!"

Ye Jingcheng rattled it all off in one breath.

This time, he had refined two batches of Azure Spirit Pills, for a total of eight pills. He had refined only one batch each of Qi-Blood Pills and Body Tempering Pills, seven of each in total. He had also refined two batches of Qi Recovery Pills, for a total of nine.

"Your prices aren't cheap either!" A cultivator immediately snorted.

"What kind of medicinal pills are judged only by price and not quality? My grandfather personally refined these. If I hadn't bought a good magical artifact and spent so many spirit stones, why would I be selling them?" Ye Jingcheng casually made it up as he went.

That was how street stalls worked. Sometimes, price alone was not enough—you needed a story too!

Ye Jingcheng clearly noticed several people shrink back.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll buy all your pills!" At that moment, a young man in brocade robes stepped into the crowd.

"Two hundred and twenty spirit stones. How about it?" the brocade-robed young man said directly.

"Certainly." Ye Jingcheng nodded. At his listed prices, the pills would only have sold for around two hundred spirit stones, so he was naturally willing.

As the young man took out a storage pouch, quite a few cultivators began whispering among themselves, studying the medicinal pills from afar with even greater care.

"Fellow Daoist, sell any pills you have to me in the future. Just use this jade talisman. It'll be much safer than selling here," the brocade-robed young man transmitted, handing both the storage pouch and the jade talisman to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng checked the jade talisman and spirit stones inside, then nodded.

He did not reply or transmit anything back.

Once the money and goods had changed hands, Ye Jingcheng left.

The richly dressed young man also vanished into the crowd. Once he reached a secluded spot, he pinched a pill between his fingers and examined it closely.

Then he murmured thoughtfully:

"So it really wasn't refined with earthfire!"
