Thinking of this, Li Xuan quickly found the Black Robe Sect’s sect master and explained his purpose of coming.
After both parties agreed, Li Xuan took a map and left, heading toward the Divine Pill Sect.
The Divine Pill Sect’s location was very far from the Black Robe Sect. It was located in the Pill City thousands of miles away. Moreover, it was said that a Gold Rank expert was overseeing it. The expert was extremely tyrannical.
Li Xuan was not confident in dealing with a Gold Rank. He even had to be careful of whether he would be attacked by a Gold Rank.
For the sake of safety, Li Xuan decided to enter the Divine Pill Sect as a disciple. In any case, his Alchemy skills were very strong. It was enough for him to enter the Divine Pill Sect.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan turned into a flying eagle and left quickly, heading in the direction of the Divine Pill Sect.
A few days later, in Pill City. Li Xuan turned into a six-year-old beggar and snuck into the city. He began to search aimlessly for an opportunity to inquire about the situation here.
“The Transformation Skill is really not bad. He can even transform the right hand that I lost…”
“It’s a pity that the Divine Pill Sect on;y recruits disciples once a year. It will take some time. During this time, I have to settle the issue of my identity first.”
Li Xuan muttered to himself. He sat in a corner of the street, thinking about how to settle his identity and how to join the Divine Pill Sect naturally.
Clink! Clink!
Two coins fell in front of his eyes, causing Li Xuan to be stunned. Then, a woman in a hurry walked past him and headed in the direction of the Divine Pill Sect.
“Am I being given alms?”
Li Xuan was speechless. Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly stopped in front of him.
“Little fellow, do you want to have a place to eat, drink, and live? As long as you come to my shop to help, I’ll take care of your food and accommodation.”
A crisp female voice sounded, and there was a hint of mischievousness in her voice.
Li Xuan followed the direction of the voice and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing in front of him. She had her arms akimbo and was smiling at him.
“Will you take care of my food and accommodation?”
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her carefully. He found that there was a small word ‘divine’ embroidered on her sleeve. He could not help but narrow his eyes.
“Yes, my name is Song Ke’er. I’m the owner of an Alchemy shop. As long as you come to work in my shop, I’ll take care of your food and accommodation.” The girl continued to smile. Her snow-white teeth were exposed.
“Sure.”
Li Xuan nodded. His God’s Perspective swept across the surroundings and discovered an old woman standing in the corner with a walking stick. There was also a small ‘divine’ character embroidered on the sleeve of the old woman.
The aura of this old woman had reached Silver Rank, and her strength was not weak. The old woman’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept towards Song Ke’er, as if she was secretly protecting her.
Obviously, Song Ke’er’s status was not low. To be able to have her own Alchemy shop in the Pill City where every inch of land was worth gold was also quite remarkable.
“Song Ke’er, why did you choose me?” Li Xuan could not help but ask.
“Because you’re cute.” Song Ke’er said with some lack of confidence.
“Cute?” Li Xuan frowned.
The little boy he had transformed into this time was indeed very good-looking, but in order to look like a beggar, he had smeared something on his face, greatly concealing his appearance.
However, Song Ke’er still looked for him. This was a problem.
“Speak, tell me the real reason,” Li Xuan said directly.
“This… actually, I’ll only care about your food and lodging. I won’t be giving you wages,” Song Ke’er said in a weak voice.
“Is that so? It doesn’t matter. It’s fine to have a place to stay.”
Li Xuan nodded. He was surprised that Song Ke’er, as an Alchemist, was actually so stingy. It was truly rare.
One had to know that even an apprentice would be paid a certain amount of money.
“If you’re stingy, so be it. These are all trivial matters,” Li Xuan muttered to himself as he followed Song Ke’er forward.
The two of them took many turns and finally arrived at a corner of the city wall. They stopped at the entrance of an old medicinal pill shop.
“This is your medicinal pill shop?”
Li Xuan looked at the old and damaged medicinal pill shop and looked at Song Ke’er in disbelief.
No wonder Song Ke’er was so stingy. This medicinal pill shop was very shabby. Even a few tiles on the roof were broken, revealing holes.
Under God’s Perspective, Li Xuan also discovered that there were basically no medicinal pills sold in the medicinal pill shop. There were not even any ingredients.
Li Xuan even saw a few black medicinal pills on the counter, faintly emitting a burnt smell.
Such an old shop, such a shabby appearance, and even frightening black medicinal pills. Li Xuan could not help but ask for the second time, “Is this really your medicinal pill shop?”
“That’s right. Isn’t it written on the plaque? Song Keler’s Medicinal Pill Shop. This is my medicinal pill shop. The shop is very big.” Song Ke’er’s face was somewhat red as she said.
“The shop isn’t small, but other than the size, are there any other advantages?” Li Xuan said speechlessly.
“Of course there are. The Alchemy furnace is very big and extremely heavy. I spent a lot of money to buy second-hand ones, but the labor fee is even more expensive than the Alchemy furnace. I’m so angry.”
Song Ke’er was indignant and clenched her small fists.
“This…”
Li Xuan was speechless, especially when he saw that the shop did not even close its door. He thought to himself that even thieves would not come to such a shabby shop. Thieves were also afraid that something would happen if they ate the black pills.
“Let’s go in. From now on, you can stay here and help me look after the shop.”
Song Ke’er walked into the shop helplessly. She took out a broken stool from a corner and sat down.
“The environment is quite clean. Why Don’t you renovate it? At the very least, change the tiles.” Li Xuan looked around and said helplessly.
“I don’t have money. My father gave me the shop. I bet with my father that I could refine pills and manage the shop well. Then, I managed the shop for half a year…”
“In the end, after I poisoned a few customers to the point of vomiting and diarrhea, no one came to buy pills anymore,” Song Ke’er said awkwardly.
“Vomiting and diarrhea?”
Li Xuan was even more speechless. He could not help but say, “Do you sell such black pills? Are they willing to buy? Even if they are willing to buy, do they dare to eat?”
“They were given free of charge. I fooled them for a long time before they were willing to eat. Then, they vomited and diarrhea.” Song Ke’er scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Okay…”
Li Xuan was completely speechless. Needless to say, this black medicinal pill was definitely refined by Song Ke’er. There was really someone who dared to eat such a medicinal pill. It was really scary.
“Didn’t your father help you? Didn’t he teach you how to refine pills?” Li Xuan thought for a moment and asked.
“Yes, he did. He gave me a bit of living expenses every month. Otherwise, I would have starved to death. As for refining pills, I don’t have the talent in this area. No matter how much my father taught me, I wouldn’t be able to learn it.”
Song Ke’er was disappointed, and her little head drooped down.
“Alright, this matter is over. I’ll go take a shower and familiarize myself with the environment. Do you have any clothes that you don’t need?” Li Xuan asked again.
“No, I’ll go buy one for you. You can go take a shower first. There’s a place for you to take a shower in the backyard.”
After Song Ke’er finished speaking, she left in a hurry. She was not worried that the things in the shop would be lost.
Li Xuan looked at this scene and shook his head speechlessly. He turned around and went to the backyard to take a shower.
Not long after, Song Ke’erran back. She bought a set of black clothes and placed it in front of the bathroom in the backyard. Then, she returned to the shop in front and waited leisurely.
From the corner of her eyes, she also looked at the corner of the alley not far away. Clearly, she knew that someone was protecting her.
