    • Chapter 22: Trading 5,000 Spirit Stones for a Talisman Treasure, Playing the Fool to Lure the Prey Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Having made up his mind, the cold glint in Yu Xian's eyes was suppressed to its depths as he swiftly made his way back to the mine. The next two days would be hard work! Two days later, Yu Xian emerged from a new mining tunnel. He looked tired, but his eyes gleamed with energy. This should be enough. Four hundred pieces of Blazing Sun Essence Stone! He returned to the miner's lodging area and stepped into the teleportation array. Upon exiting, he headed straight for the Artifact Forging…
    • Chapter 20: Alchemy Pavilion’s Disdain, First Furnace Fails

      Chapter 20: Alchemy Pavilion’s Disdain, First Furnace Fails Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian calmly walked away from the Spiritual Herb Pavilion. The quarrels, insults, and even brawls happening inside had nothing to do with him. He was just a buyer. When the quality of goods is the same, it's natural to buy from whoever offers the lowest price. No emotional attachment whatsoever. Even choosing not to bargain for a discount of ten spirit stones, instead letting the other party win ten more, was simply following his father's teaching—never push things to the extreme. That was all. As…
    • Chapter 18: Insulted by Management, Barter at the Herb Hall

      Chapter 18: Insulted by Management, Barter at the Herb Hall Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian looked at the pile of so-called "refining materials" before him. He slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, he began to visualize an alchemy furnace. Then, suddenly, his hands started to move. Piece by piece, the "materials" were tossed methodically into a circle he had drawn on the ground. While doing so, Yu Xian continuously applied various hand techniques, infusing each "ingredient" with varying intensities of spiritual energy to activate their medicinal properties. Eventually, dozens of piles…
    • Chapter 19: Buying Spirit Herbs at the Herb Hall, Female Disciples Clash

      Chapter 19: Buying Spirit Herbs at the Herb Hall, Female Disciples Clash Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Outer Sect, Lingyao (Spirit Herb) Hall, Baiyun Sect. If one were to name the most relaxed, most profitable, and least crowded workplace in the entire Outer Sect, it would no doubt be the Spirit Herb Hall. The Spirit Herb Hall usually only required one disciple to oversee large sections of herb gardens, medicinal fields, and spirit root patches. These herbs had varying growth cycles, but even the fastest ones needed at least half a month to mature. Managing them was practically effortless. Moreover,…
    • Chapter 16: Slaying Beasts for Tempering, Discovering a New Mine for Wealth

      Chapter 16: Slaying Beasts for Tempering, Discovering a New Mine for Wealth Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks "Good! Once you agree, there's no turning back!" Seeing that Yu Xian agreed, Liu Xue immediately finalized the matter, not giving him any chance to back out. He raised his hand and took out a map. "Here, I've already marked the route for you. Just follow it. Once you reach the mountain, dig away. That mountain is rich in resources—it'll definitely produce a good amount of refined ores!" "Tsk tsk, kid, you're gonna make a killing this trip. The new mines opening up there produce at least six refined…
    • Chapter 17: A Six-Thousand Spirit Stones Tycoon, Seeking to Learn the Art of Alchemy Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian reacted quickly. He took two quick steps back, dodging the mouthful of tea that had been spat out. Still smiling, he said, "Four hundred and sixteen pieces." The middle-aged man, coughing and wiping tea from his chest, set down the teacup. With disbelief written all over his face, he looked at Yu Xian and asked, "Four hundred and sixteen? Kid, where did you get so many Fiery Sun Essence Stones?" Yu Xian's smile froze briefly before fading. Looking calmly at the man, he said, "What, seniors now…
    • Chapter 15: Inner Sect Selection, A Conspiracy to Open the Mine

      Chapter 15: Inner Sect Selection, A Conspiracy to Open the Mine Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Heading straight to the forging hall to trade materials, Yu Xian's gaze paused slightly. From afar, at the counter where materials were traded, it wasn't Xu Haocheng standing there anymore, but a young man instead. After a moment of thought, Yu Xian still walked over and asked with some curiosity, "Senior Brother, do you know why Senior Brother Xu isn't here today?" "Oh, Senior Brother Xu entered closed-door cultivation five days ago. He's attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment…
    • Chapter 13: Breakthrough to Mid-Stage Qi Condensation, Suspicions Arise

      Chapter 13: Breakthrough to Mid-Stage Qi Condensation, Suspicions Arise Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks The screams of Zhang Laosan had long ceased. Yu Xian panted heavily. Only after draining all the spiritual energy from his seven-inch qi sea did he finally stop. With a flip of his hand, two spirit stones appeared, which he began to rapidly absorb. In front of him, in the deep pit, only some scattered limbs and fragments remained. Zhang Laosan's entire body had been completely blasted into pulp! That was the second overseer he had killed... Yu Xian stepped forward a few paces, gathered the remains,…
    • Chapter 14: Both Sides Suspect the Killer, Changing Caves Leads to Sudden Wealth Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks "Hmm? What did you say?" Huang Hanxiao's eyes flashed, but then he shook his head. "Impossible. That brat has only been in the sect for two months at most—he probably hasn't even reached Qi Condensation. What ability would he have to kill Zhang Laosan? Zhang Laosan is at mid-stage Qi Condensation." "But that kid managed to keep finding ore in a waste mine. That's already suspicious. Who knows if he has some unknown technique?" Liu Xue said in a low voice, "Maybe Zhang Laosan underestimated him and was…
    • Chapter 12: Qi Sea Expansion on the Verge of Breakthrough, Furious Slaughter in the Mine Cave Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian closed his eyes without moving, waiting for his body to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Minor Spirit Pills before swallowing another one. Purifying his body, expelling impurities, expanding the Qi Sea, condensing spiritual energy. A bottle of five Minor Spirit Pills was quickly consumed. Yu Xian had ten bottles, so without hesitation, he took out another bottle and continued swallowing. Soon, that too was finished! A three-foot Qi Sea, the spiritual energy within as dense as dark…
