“Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look. If It’s still a black pill, even if the pill is very fragrant, we can’t eat it.” “That’s for sure. Let’s go in.”
A few burly men quickly walked into the Alchemy Room and found that the room was empty. There was no one inside, only a few black pills on the counter.
When the crowd saw these black pills, they instinctively resisted and wanted to leave.
However, when they smelled the pill fragrance coming from the Alchemy Room, they became curious.
They did not dare to go near the Alchemy Room. If they were to affect the Alchemist, the consequences would be unimaginable. They were low-level adventurers and they could not afford to offend the Alchemist.
Just like that, the few burly men waited quietly, drooling.
Time slowly passed, and the rich medicinal fragrance gradually reached its peak.
Finally, the door of the Alchemy Room opened, and a little boy with delicate skin walked out.
In the little boy’s hands were a few crystal clear white medicinal pills.
“It’s a Spiritual Qi Pill, how can it be? Does Spiritual Qi Pill have such a rich medicinal fragrance? Isn’t a Spiritual Qi Pill the most ordinary medicinal pill?”.
“Are you stupid? This is definitely not an ordinary Spiritual Qi Pill. Look at how crystal clear this pill is. It’s definitely stronger than the Spiritual Qi Pill we bought.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I think so too.”
The few burly men looked at the crystal clear pill and were all very curious. However, looking at Li Xuan’s cold expression, they did not know why, but they felt a very strong pressure.
“Hello… May I ask if you can sell your Spiritual Qi Pill to us?” The bald burly man could not help but ask. “You can’t afford it.”
Li Xuan glanced at the few of them and lazily returned to the counter. He sat on the broken chair and flipped through the Alchemy books.
“This…”
Everyone looked at Li Xuan who was so cold. Not only were they not angry, they even felt that this medicinal pill was extraordinary.
The bald man could not help but continue to ask.
“Sir, can you tell me what kind of pill this is? Why does it look like a Spiritual Qi Pill? If It’s a Spiritual Qi Pill, we can barely afford it.”
“Oh? Let me ask you, why can’t ordinary Spiritual Qi Pill be taken for a long time?” Li Xuan glanced at the other party and asked.
“It’s like this. Ordinary Spiritual Qi Pill contains impurities. If taken for a long time, it will affect the future breakthrough, and it will also affect one’s aptitude. People with talent generally won’t take it,” the bald man hurriedly explained.
“Mmhm, do you know why I said you can’t afford it?”Li Xuan said indifferently.
“I don’t know.” The heads of the few big men swayed like a rattle drum.
“It’s because this is a top-grade Spiritual Qi Pill. Its effect is five times more than ordinary pills. The important thing is that it doesn’t have any side effects and doesn’t affect aptitude,” Li Xuan said faintly.
“So it’s like this!” The few big men cried out in surprise.
They clearly knew the significance of not affecting one’s aptitude. If such a pill were to be known by geniuses, they would definitely go crazy and buy it, even at the expense of their capital.
The main point was that this pill’s effect was five times that of an ordinary pill. This was another big selling point. The sum of these two items was enough to cause the price of a top-grade Spiritual Qi Pill to soar.
Therefore, the few burly men were discouraged. Knowing that they couldn’t afford it, they all sighed deeply.
At this moment, the big-headed man saw that there was a hole in the roof. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said carefully.
“Sir, I have learned how to build a house. There is a hole in the roof. Can I help you fix it for free?”
“Oh?”
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the big-headed man. He said indifferently, “What’s your name?”
“Sir, I’m Zhao Hanzi. This is my boss, Baldy Liu. This is Wang Tiezhu and Wang Erniu.”
Zhao Hanzi hurriedly explained and introduced his friends.
“Go. The shop needs to be renovated. It’s time to see your performance.”
Li Xuan stretched his back and took the Alchemy book. He returned to the Alchemy Room and continued to study Alchemy.
A few brawny men received Li Xuan’s order and were very happy. They quickly began to discuss how to renovate the house.
“Boss, I don’t think repairing the shop shows our sincerity. How about this? Let’s renovate the entire shop. I’ll call my father over. He’s experienced,” Han Zi Zhao said.
“I agree. My father is also good at this. I’ll call him immediately.”
“Let’s go. My family has connections. If we can buy the materials to build the shop, I’ll contact him.”
“Alright!”
The burly men did not want to be adventurers anymore. They quickly ran off to look for their families.
Most of their fathers and family members were working to build houses for others.
Upon hearing that their son was going to build a shop for an Alchemist, everyone immediately took action. They brought their belongings to the Alchemy Room and began making preparations.
Their arrival surprised Li Xuan as well, and a smile appeared on his face.
“That’s right. A matter that I didn’t intend to meddle in actually gave me a surprise.”
Li Xuan was a little satisfied. He slowly walked out of the Alchemy Room and looked at the crowd outside.
“Sir.”
The crowd bowed collectively. Even though Li Xuan was young, this group of people did not dare to underestimate him. “I’ll leave it to you.”
Li Xuan waved his hand and directly rented a room in a bungalow next to him. He used his small Alchemy Furnace there to start refining pills.
Time slowly passed while Li Xuan was refining pills. Soon, a month had passed.
The Alchemy shop was officially renovated. Many items had been added to the shop, such as new counters, new display shelves, new seats, flower pots, and so on.
Li Xuan returned to the store. He was very satisfied with the brand-new store, so he naturally would not be stingy with his rewards.
In the following period of time, Li Xuan changed the new signboard, which was also the new name of the store. The main thing was that the name of ‘Song Ke’er’s Medicinal Pill Store’ was too feminine.
In addition, changing the name of the store could also intimidate the thieves and prevent people from causing trouble. Li Xuan changed the store into a Divine Pill Store, just like the Divine Elixir Sect’s store.
Of course, Li Xuan was not afraid of people causing trouble, but his goal was to join the sect. It was best to hide his strength and develop quietly. A plaque could intimidate others and save a lot of trouble.
After doing all this, Li Xuan began a new plan.
For example, he recruited female shop assistants, distributed leaflets everywhere to create momentum for himself, spread his fame, and made preparations to join the Divine Pill Sect.
During this month, Li Xuan had finished reading a few basic Alchemy books. He knew most of the knowledge in the books, so he naturally could easily grasp them.
However, there were no more advanced Alchemy formulas. Li Xuan also searched around and bought a few Alchemy formulas, but most of the alchemy formulas were very ordinary. For example, he still could not find the related formulas for the Black Iron Pill.
Li Xuan was not in a hurry either. Instead, he continued to refine basic Alchemy pills, turning all kinds of basic Alchemy pills into top-grade Alchemy pills to attract more people.
A few days later, the number of people buying pills at the entrance of the shop increased. More and more people were competing to buy elixirs. Due to the large number of people, Li Xuan had to ration his supply.
Three days later, early in the morning… Song Ke’er, her junior sister Lil Ru, and Grandma Song hurried down the mountain toward the pill shop in the city.
“Junior sister, didn’t I ask you to remind me to send Li Xuan his living expenses? How could you not remind me? This is a month, how could the money I left be enough?” Song Ke’er said anxiously.
“I’m sorry, senior sister. I was so busy learning how to refine the Spiritual Qi Pills that I forgot about it,” Junior Sister Lil Ru said in a low voice.
“How could I forget something like this? How can I blame you?” Song Ke’er was still very angry.
“Keler, don’t worry. When you left last time, you left quite a lot of money. For ordinary people, it’s enough to live for a month,” Grandma Song comforted her.
“Is that so?”Song Keer looked at Grandma Song in confusion.
“Of course. The living expenses of ordinary people are very low. You left enough money last time,” Grandma Song comforted her.
“Is that so? That’s great. You scared me,” Song Keer patted her heart and continued.
“I’ll go over to see him this time. I’ll leave some living expenses for him and teach him Alchemy skills at the same time,
“I can now refine the Hemostasis Pill. If I work hard for another half a year, I might be able to refine even more powerful Spiritual Qi Pills.”
Song Ke’er’s face carried a little pride. She was prepared to teach Li Xuan properly after seeing him so that she could regain the face she had lost previously.
At the same time, two disciples of the Divine Pill Sect were quarreling as they walked forward.
They were grabbing a pill box at the same time and snatching it from each other. Both of their faces were red and their necks were thick.
“We had an agreement. This time when we bought the pills, I’ll take them first. You actually didn’t give them to me,” one of them said angrily.
“Who told you to forget to bring money? This time, the money is from me. You have to give the pills to me. If you want to buy them, go buy them yourself.”
“If I can buy them, then I’ll go buy them. How many people are queuing up there? I’m afraid it’ll be hard to get another chance to buy such top-grade pills.”
The two of them quarreled and fought over it, which also attracted the attention of Song Ke’er and the others.
