Selling Fruit, Advancement Spirit Liquid

Inside the ancestral hall of the Xu Family Shop in Taichang Market, two money trees sway gracefully.

The coin-sized leaves radiated a spiritual light, reflecting the purple glow of the sky.

Under the tree, Xu Qingyu of the Xu Family looked at the report below and took a swig of wine in silence.

"Just how many are the Ye Family hiding? Not only do they have second-tier Fire Heart Pill and second-tier Purplewood Pill, but they even have second-tier Jade Soul Pill."

"As far as I know, Ye Haicheng of the Ye Family is just a Body Cultivator." Xu Qingyu took another sip of wine.

There was no response, as he was the only Foundation Establishment present, and the other members of the Xu Lineage naturally dared not say anything.

Even if they have generational names, Qingyu belongs to the Qing generation.

The Xu Family runs an alchemy shop in Taichang Market. Unlike the Mo Family, they now focus on making array plates and have far fewer cultivators to support.

"Qingyu, the patriarch told us to wait." An old man walked in from the doorway.

"I've already investigated. The Ye Family is nothing to fear. They only sent five people this time. Once they sell out of their elixirs, they'll be in trouble. They'll either have to raise prices or bring elixirs from Taihang Commandery, which is a long way off. If our Xu Family doesn't act, other Lineage will."

"Uncle Wenyuan, really, your investigation was very thorough!" Xu Qingyu stood up repeatedly.

Although Xu Wenyuan had not broken through to the Foundation Establishment, the Xu Family was still considered extremely authoritative, as his father was none other than Xu Chunlin, the patriarch of the Xu Family.

However, even cultivators at the Purple Mansion level find it somewhat difficult to help with the Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

"I've already spoken to the Taiqiu Kong Family about this. The Ye Family can't stir up any trouble. But Qingyu, you need to focus on your cultivation recently. After the Mo Family incident, the sect is dissatisfied with the Taihang Mountain Range and might launch a large-scale purge!" Xu Wenyuan said.

As a member of the younger generation of the Xu Family, Xu Qingyu's achievement of becoming Foundation Establishment cultivator naturally attracted much attention.

"Okay, I will definitely try my best!"

"The Lineage has also gathered some evidence against the Ye Family, so don't take any action against the Ye Family for now, or you'll alert them!" Xu Wenyuan said again.

The latter nodded.

As more and more cultivators entered Chu-Ye Pavilion, quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators also arrived and strolled around the second floor for a while.

Although this was Ye Jingcheng's first time acting as a seller, he had witnessed many similar scenes in the surrounding shops over the past few days.

He also followed the example of the Jin Family's shop, setting out spiritual tea and drinking with the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This time, he didn't bring out Spring Welcoming Tea, but rather second-grade Floating Cloud Tea.

However, he always left only a small portion of the pot, making sure he could only pour two cups.

"The tea is finished" is a way of saying goodbye to guests.

Therefore, even though Floating Cloud Tea is extremely precious, it is impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to drink more of it. On the contrary, if they want to drink spiritual tea, they must at least buy a second-tier spiritual pill.

In just one day, Ye Jingcheng had already sold three Purplewood Pills and two Fire Heart Pills. Each Purplewood Pill cost 350 Spirit Stone, and each Fire Heart Pill cost 320 Spirit Stone, for a total of 1,710 Spirit Stone.

Of this, he himself, as Alchemist, could take 30% of the cost of alchemy.

With an additional 10% profit share, he would receive 700 Spirit Stone.

Of course, he also knew that this was related to the special circumstances of Taichang Market, but the reputation of the Ye Family had been thoroughly established.

The circle of Foundation Establishment cultivators is only so big, and they are basically all familiar with each other.

The only pity is that many people look at the Jade Soul Pill, but no one buys it.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry. He tidied up the scene on the second floor and looked across at the opposite side, where Chu Yanqing was standing.

Today, the Ye Family opened their business, and the Chu Family, which followed suit, is also doing extremely well.

This, in turn, brought prosperity to the Chu Family.

Of course, he also knew that the Chu Family had contributed to the Ye Family's success.

Without the Chu Family opening early, the Ye Family's business might have been reduced by half.

"Want to come and have a sip of Floating Cloud Tea?"

"You only have two sips of this Floating Cloud Tea, so it's not necessary." Chu Yanqing shook her head, which made Ye Jingcheng frown.

He knew he had been too talkative.

This Chu Yanqing is extremely competitive. Just because he chatted with Foundation Establishment cultivator that day, Chu Yanqing went back into seclusion and entered deep cultivation. After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he even volunteered to help others.

However, to his surprise, Chu Yanqing took the initiative to come over.

Chu-Ye Pavilion is divided into two sides, one side belonging to the Chu Family and the other to the Ye Family.

There's only a long corridor separating them.

"Try our Chu Family's second-tier Cloud Leisure Tea. Although it's not as good as the Li Family's Floating Cloud Tea, it's not much different." Chu Yanqing poured tea for Ye Jingcheng.

After pouring the tea, he began to speak.

"Thank you for today." Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised and did not reply.

He simply nodded, drank his tea, and didn't even look Chu Yanqing in the eye.

At this moment, Chu Yanqing stood outside the spiritual mist of Cloud Leisure Tea. After glancing at Ye Jingcheng, she also took a sip of spiritual tea. Without saying much, she returned to her table and continued to guard the Chu Family's weapon-refining shop.

Her cheeks were still puffed up with anger.

She clearly hadn't expected Ye Jingcheng to be so disrespectful.

Ye Jingcheng was finally satisfied.

He tidied up his things again, put away all the elixirs on the counter, and went downstairs.

Inside on the first floor, Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xingyi were still busy, but all of them had smiles on their faces.

Only Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, First-Tier Superior-Grade Qi Replenishing Pill and Red Ganoderma Pill with spiritual fragrance have been sold out. Why don't we take advantage of today and bring out some more?" Ye Jingyun asked, somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say it directly; instead, he transmitted his voice.

On its first day of business, the Ye Family sold a considerable number of elixirs. After deducting costs, rent, and profit sharing, the Ye Family made a fortune in just one day.

This wasn't just limited to discounted Qi Replenishing Pill and Red Ganoderma Pill; quite a few other elixirs at their regular prices were also sold.

Even though the shops were already closing, many Rogue Cultivators were still entering.

They were slightly disappointed that they didn't manage to buy the discounted elixirs, but some cultivators also discovered that the Ye Family had quite a variety of elixirs.

Although the Ye Family doesn't have many types of second-tier spirit pills, they brought quite a few first-tier spirit pills this time, especially the Spirit Feeding Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill, which are particularly representative.

Both of these elixirs sold quite a bit.

"No rush!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head. The Ye Family is currently offering special prices, and they still manage to sell a large number of spirit pills every day.

That would be a major objection from other Lineage.

Although the Ye Family is no longer afraid, they continue to operate steadily and even better.

Moreover, if they had really sold out in the first few days, Ye Jingcheng and his team wouldn't have been able to refine them so quickly afterward.

How can we use the Red Ganoderma Pill and the Qi Replenishing Pill to get other cultivators to buy other elixirs?

"It's almost 7 PM, let's start packing up!" After a while, when fewer people were buying elixirs and fewer were browsing, Ye Jingcheng spoke up.

At the entrance of the Chu-Ye Pavilion, the Chu Lineage members also began to hang up the closing sign on time.

Like most shops, Chu-Ye Pavilion is open for five hours a day.

For cultivators, they also need to set aside time for cultivation; Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingyi, and others need to refine pills.

Even if the sky here is forever crimson.

After tidying up the shop, everyone headed towards the west main building.

Ye Jingcheng also started preparing spiritual cuisine. As the person in charge of this event, the group had traveled a long way to Taichang Market. The results on the first day were so good that he naturally wanted to celebrate.

Moreover, with the profits from this shop, Ye Jingcheng was confident that he could collect all the Advancement Pill and spirit medicine for the four Spirit Beasts and the Wood Demon during his time in Taichang Market.

He never forgot that alchemy was merely a means to earn Spirit Stone.

Only self-cultivation is the most fundamental thing.

Soon, the group sat in the courtyard outside the main house on the west side. At the entrance of the courtyard, a peach tree came into view. However, at this moment, the peach tree had turned black again, with no leaves and only a few peach sap fruits.

Although the Peach Peachwood Demon could stay in the Spirit Beast pouch, its true form had to remain in the courtyard. After setting up an isolation Array and separating from the Chu Family, Ye Jingcheng released the Peachwood Demon.

Before long, a considerable amount of spiritual food was laid out on the table: Red-Node Fish, Dense Forest Pig, and Mountain-Devouring Rat.

Beside each dish of spiritual food, there was also Blood Jade Spirit Rice.

This time, Ye Jingcheng didn't take out the Spirit Tea, but instead took out the Blue Wave Wine.

"Jingcheng, this is too much." Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyu all smiled broadly, even though the meals from the previous days had been more lavish.

But that time it was the Chu Family who did it, so they were not only very cautious but also quite reserved.

Although Ye Jingcheng's cooking didn't have as much Spiritual Qi, everyone felt more at ease eating it and could eat as much as they wanted.

Even though Ye Jingcheng is Foundation Establishment cultivator, he is still one of our own.

After Ye Jingcheng took his seat, the others took their seats one by one.

This scene today was something even they themselves didn't expect.

Ye Jingcheng didn't offer any significant discounts, yet he actively attracted the independent Rogue Cultivator.

"The effect will be much worse tomorrow and the day after," Ye Jingcheng said, looking at Ye Xingyi and the others.

The others nodded in agreement.

As Ye Jingcheng sipped his Blue Wave Wine, he couldn't help but recall the time when Ye Xinghe had prepared a large table for them when he first entered the market.

Seeing their smiling faces, he felt particularly gratified.

"Please bear with us these next few days. Once the sect's competition is over and there are fewer people around, you'll all have more time to cultivate," Ye Jingcheng explained with a smile.

"Jingcheng, we all understand, but what we don't understand is why we only offer two special deals," Ye Jingyu said.

"Seventh Sister, the profit margins for elixirs and Law Artifact actually depend on the market. If we set them too low, it would disrupt the market, and the Chu Family wouldn't be able to cover it up. But we're only open for business now, and we have a fixed number of elixirs to sell each day. Only two of our elixirs are priced lower than other shops, so other Lineage can accept that," Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Jingyu had previously worked with Spirit Plant, so he knew little about this area.

Ye Jinghao, standing next to him, clearly knew more.

After finishing their meal, they all returned to their rooms.

Ye Jingcheng was no exception, except this time, he would not be refining elixirs, but rather the second-tier Woodheart Spirit Liquid that he had prepared.

This is the spiritual liquid used to advance Wood Demon.

Ye Jingcheng had collected them all a few days ago, but only had time to do so today.

He released the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox cried out, sounding somewhat aggrieved. Ye Jingcheng had released the Jade Ring Rat long ago, but hadn't released it.

Ye Jingcheng rubbed the Crimson Flame Fox's head.

"Time to refine medicine, buddy!" Ye Jingcheng joked with a smile.

Then he took out the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace and began to heat it.

Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng mention alchemy, the Crimson Flame Fox immediately followed his instructions and spat out flames.

The crimson flames grew even hotter, clearly indicating that the Crimson Flame Fox had made significant progress in the early stages of the second tier.

It seems we're not far from the mid-stage of the second tier.

As the flames swept past, the furnace was completed once again in an instant.

The spiritual shadows on the Pill Furnace rose and fell in a triangular formation, with three thousand spiritual shadows emerging.

Ye Jingcheng added the spirit medicine one by one and began to slowly melt them.

However, at this moment, the Crimson Flame Fox's blue eyes showed some curiosity, because Ye Jingcheng did not condense his core this time.

This time, a full jar of spiritual liquid was condensed.

This scene puzzled it somewhat.

Ye Jingcheng did not offer an explanation. This time, the Wood spirit medicine was intended for Wood Demon, not a spiritual elixir, and it was prepared by watering.

Ye Jingcheng was unsure whether the Woodheart Spirit Liquid would be helpful to other ordinary Spirit Plant.

But right now, there's naturally no opportunity to test it.

With a jolt of the furnace lid, Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, sending the Pill Furnace flying.

A small amount of spiritual liquid appeared inside. Ye Jingcheng took out a jade basin and filled it all up.

Only then did they begin to clean the Pill Furnace.

The Crimson Flame Fox also stuck out its tongue, seemingly wanting to lick the jade basin.

"I'll refine it for you next time. This one is for the Peachwood outside to drink," Ye Jingcheng said. Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Fox obediently nodded and lay down on the bed next to it.

Refining elixirs involves releasing flames, which is a significant drain on the energy source.

Ye Jingcheng picked up the Woodheart Spirit Liquid and walked towards the Wood Demon outside.

The Wood Demon sensed the jade basin Ye Jingcheng was holding and quickly manifested its face on the wood.

Wood Demon aren't considered particularly precious in the Cultivation World, but their rarity is key.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng usually prevents the latter from manifesting from its original form.

This time, the other party couldn't hold back.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master!"

"Master, I can harvest more peach gum. This peach gum can be made into beauty pills," the Peachwood Demon said.

Ye Jingcheng's eyes lit up when Peachwood said that. Although cultivators could change their appearance, for many cultivators, the beauty pill made them more pleasing.

"Do you have the Pill Formula?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"No, but I roughly know what's needed. I've seen people practice making beauty pills." Peachwood tried hard to recall.

However, after looking at it for a while, Ye Jingcheng realized that this Peachwood was somewhat exaggerated.

He only remembered a few.

Clearly, seeing the advanced spirit liquid he had taken out, he started talking nonsense.

However, this is also a direction for Ye Jingcheng. He is currently researching the refining of Bloodrage Pill and Demon Beast Cores, as well as the refining of Beauty Pills from Peachwood glue, which is also a direction.

After all, he kept many Spirit Beasts, and he was poor!

Ye Jingcheng walked to the peach tree and began to input the Treasure Radiance.

Only after Treasure Radiance finished inputting the essence did he begin pouring in the advanced spiritual liquid.

As the spiritual liquid entered the soil, the roots of the Peachwood seemed to begin to sway with the soil.

At the same time, the Peachwood Demon instantly entered the Peachwood's body.

Sure enough, beads of peach gum kept popping out, but Ye Jingcheng knew at this moment that this wood glue was released by the wood Demon Cultivator.

The more he reveals, the greater his progress at this moment.
