“Very well!” Ye Wushuang nodded in agreement.
He indeed had a little over 20,000 taels of gold on him, but if he spent it all on a dan furnace, where would he get the money to buy medicinal materials? Now that he had reached the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm, he needed medicinal materials to assist his cultivation, as well as to prepare some foundational solidifying pills for his sister, Ye Feifei, to lay the foundation for cultivation, including the leg of his third uncle, and the blood and qi loss his mother had suffered from years of hard work—all of which required medicinal pills.
Xia Yushan led Ye Wushuang and Xu Qiyuan to the back of the Qingyun Pavilion, where luxuriously built alchemy rooms stood. In one of the alchemy rooms, there was a dan furnace standing tall, over a person’s height, with an ancient bronze hue and carved with figures of dragons coiling around the body of the furnace.
Ye Wushuang looked at the furnace, stepped forward, and gently touched it with his palm, then said, “A first-grade spiritual tool!”
“That’s correct!” Xia Yushan replied directly, “If Master Ye is an alchemist, you can use this first-grade spiritual tool, the Jiaolong Furnace, for free. And what I mentioned earlier about selling the pills you refine in our Qingyun Pavilion is not mandatory.”
“For example, if Master Ye uses our Qingyun Pavilion’s furnace to refine ten pills, you can sell one, or you can sell all of them. It’s entirely up to you. It’s not a rigid rule.”
Ye Wushuang nodded in understanding.
Xu Qiyuan, who was on the side, also understood that Qingyun Pavilion was using the condition of free use of the furnace for alchemists to create a good impression, which was a smart business move.
“I don’t know what medicinal materials Master Ye needs?” Xia Yushan asked.
At this time, Ye Wushuang took out a list from his bosom and said, “For each of these medicinal materials, I need three portions. It should not be difficult to gather them.”
Taking the list, Xia Yushan immediately smiled and said, “Alright, I will order someone to prepare them and have them delivered shortly.”
“Mm.”
After Xia Yushan left the alchemy room, Ye Wushuang and Xu Qiyuan waited.
Xu Qiyuan said with a smile, “Master Ye, if you like it, I can buy it and give it to you as a gift!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang glanced at Xu Qiyuan, who immediately said, “Alright, alright, I know, I won’t say it again.”
Ye Wushuang then said, “Since you helped me out just now, you can ask me three questions.”
“Really?” Xu Qiyuan asked excitedly.
“Mm.”
Immediately, Xu Qiyuan started asking questions.
On the other side, after leaving the alchemy room, Xia Yushan ran into a middle-aged man wearing a dan robe, with long hair tied up and slightly gray temples. Seeing Xia Yushan in high spirits, he smiled and asked, “Yushan, where are you going?”
“Dad!”
Seeing the man, Xia Yushan immediately said, “I’ve found an alchemist!”
Alchemists are initially known as mortal alchemists, who refine mortal pills suitable for warriors at the Body Refining Realm level. Once they reach the level of spiritual alchemists, they refine spiritual pills suitable for the Condensed Vein Realm and above.
The man in front of her was none other than Xia Lei, the head of the Qingyun Pavilion and a first-grade spiritual alchemist himself, well-known in Liuyue City, with a reputation not less than Mo Chuan’s.
“Who is it?” Xia Lei asked.
“Ye Wushuang from the Ye family!”
Upon hearing this name, Xia Lei was stunned.
“Yushan, what are you talking about? Ye Wushuang? The Ye Wushuang who has been quite famous these days? He’s an alchemist? He couldn’t even enter the martial path for three years. No one knows what kind of adventure he had, but he suddenly reached the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm. How could he possibly be an alchemist?”
Seeing her father’s astonished look, Xia Yushan came forward, hugged her father’s arm, and said with a smile, “Dad, your thinking is too old-fashioned. Which of the things Ye Wushuang has done these days isn’t shocking?”
Then, Xia Yushan explained the whole story of meeting Ye Wushuang and said again, “If he can’t refine pills, our Qingyun Pavilion won’t lose anything by selling these medicinal materials. If he can refine pills, then our Qingyun Pavilion has made friends with an alchemist!”
For a medicinal trading pavilion, making friends with more alchemists is infinitely beneficial!
Especially in Liuyue City, where spiritual alchemists are scarce and of high status, and every mortal alchemist also holds a high status.
Hearing this, Xia Lei also felt that it made sense and nodded, saying, “I have to see if this kid is just bluffing or if he really can refine pills!”
