Once they arrived at the Alchemy Store, Yuan and Wang Xiuying walked straight to the tenth floor.
However, they were blocked on the ninth floor.
“Only those that have received the Sect Master’s approval may enter the tenth floor.” The Elders said to them.
Yuan showed them Sect Master Xiahou’s medallion.
“Please give us a minute to confirm it with the Sect Master.” The Elder said.
The Elders took Yuan’s medallion for a quick inspection while they also contacted Sect Master Xiahou to confirm that she had indeed handed her medallion to Yuan.
Once they confirmed everything, the Elders allowed them to enter the tenth floor.
The tenth floor was unsurprisingly the smallest but also the cleanest room in the entire building due to the minimal visitors they receive. In fact, visitors were practically nonexistent on the tenth floor, and only one or two people get to enter this place every year.
“How may I help you?” The Elder working on that floor asked them.
This Elder also happened to be a first level Spirit King and the guardian of the Alchemy Store.
“Hello, I’m here to buy the recipe for the Tier 5 Body Tempering Pill.” Yuan said.
“Oh, I have already paid the Sect Master for the recipe, and she even allowed me to choose a couple more.”
“I understand. Here is a list of all of the pill recipes we have in the sect.” The Elder handed them a thin manual.
Yuan took the manual and asked Feng Yuxiang, “What do you think, Feng Feng? Any particular pill recipe you want beside the Tier 5 Body Tempering Pill?”
Feng Yuxiang appeared beside him and started looking through the manual.
‘P-Peak Spirit King?!’ The Elder was shocked by Feng Yuxiang’s cultivation base and otherworldly beauty.
A few minutes later, Feng Yuxiang picked 21 different pill recipes, not including the Tier 5 Body Tempering Pill, and they were mostly recipes for Tier 5 pills.
The Elder’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably after seeing how many pill recipes Feng Yuxiang had chosen.
“W-Wait a moment while I receive the Sect Master’s approval…” The Elder said to them before disappearing to the room in the back.
A few minutes later, the Elder returned with a look of disbelief on his face.
“T-The Sect Master has agreed to give you all of the pill recipes… You also don’t need to worry about paying for them.”
The Elder sounded like he was in disbelief, and he wondered what kind of bribe Yuan had given the Sect Master to make this happen. Normally, Sect Master Xiahou would be very strict about giving away even one pill recipe, much less 22 at once.
After copying all of the pill recipes Feng Yuxiang had requested, the Elder handed it to her.
“Now we just need to buy enough ingredients to concoct the pills. The store still owes me 100,000 spirit stones, but I doubt that will be able to help much.” Yuan said afterward.
“It’s okay, Young Master. Leave everything pill-related to me, including the money.” Feng Yuxiang suddenly said.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I won’t lose any money as long as I successfully concoct one pill out of three attempts.” She nodded.
“All right. I will leave it to you.”
“I will also buy my own cauldron so I don’t need to borrow yours every time I want to concoct pills.” Feng Yuxiang added.
They descended to the sixth floor shortly after so that Feng Yuxiang could buy her cauldron.
“I want this Golden Phoenix Cauldron.” Feng Yuxiang said to the Elder there.
“T-The Golden Phoenix Cauldron will cost 10 million spirit stones… It’s also our best cauldron.” The Elder said.
“Here.” Feng Yuxiang handed him the money without any hesitation, almost as though she was only getting rid of her spare change.
“T-Thank you for your patronage!” All of the staff members there bowed to Feng Yuxiang after the purchase.
They descended to the third floor shortly after Feng Yuxiang got her own cauldron.
“I want enough medicine to concoct 1,000 Tier 5 Body Tempering Pills and…” Feng Yuxiang said to the staff members working there, shocking them speechless with her crazy shopping spree.
In the end, Feng Yuxiang left the Alchemy Store with a cauldron that cost her 10 million spirit stones and 5 million spirit stones’ worth of ingredients.
It was an enormous sum of money spent. In fact, Feng Yuxiang instantly became their most valued customer.
“15 million spirit stones… I am speechless…” Wang Xiuying mumbled in a dazed voice.
“How just freaking rich are you?” She couldn’t help but ask.
“I have sold tens of thousands of valuable treasures throughout thousands of years, so you can say that I have a decent amount of wealth. However, this much is nothing once we reach the upper heavens, where treasures will require Spirit Jades to purchase, which will be equivalent to billions and trillions of spirit stones.”
“T-Trillions…?” Both Yuan and Wang Xiuying swallowed nervously.
Once they returned to Wang Xiuying’s living quarters, Feng Yuxiang immediately holed herself in one of the guest rooms to practice her Alchemy.
“What do you want to do tomorrow, Yuan?” Wang Xiuying asked him when the sky started turning dark.
“I don’t know. I wouldn’t mind if we just relaxed and talked to each other about our adventures.”
“That sounds great! Then I will see you tomorrow. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
After Wang Xiuying logged off, Yuan prepared to log off.
However, Xiao Hua suddenly appeared before him and spoke in a low voice, “Brother Yuan, can you spend the night with Xiao Hua?”
“Huh?” He raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Hua then retrieved a familiar-looking book from her spatial ring and said, “Besides supplying Brother Yuan with weapons and artifacts, this is all that Xiao Hua can do for you…”
“Are you still worried about what Feng Feng said today? You really don’t need to compare with each other.”
“Please, Brother Yuan… Let Xiao Hua help you…” She said to him with moist eyes.
Yuan sighed, and he nodded with a gentle smile, “All right. I will spend the night with you and listen to you chant like old times.”
Xiao Hua immediately nodded her small head with a bright smile.
The two of them went outside and sat in front of Wang Xiuying’s medicine field.
Xiao Hua opened her book and started reading it while Yuan closed his eyes and focused on her voice.
