C8 Qi Replenishing Pill

Lucid Aqua Town, Celestial Jade Workshop.

The place was one of the largest marketplaces in Lucid Aqua Town that sold various medicinal liquids, powdered medicine, medicinal herbs, artifacts, etc.

Hence, everyone who came to and fro in the Celestial Jade Workshop were cultivators from Lucid Aqua Town.

Early in the morning, Ye Lan, wearing a black bamboo hat, made his way to the Celestial Jade Workshop and set up a stall to sell the Qi Replenishing Pills that he made during the previous night.

He tore off a piece of worn-out cloth and hung it on a bamboo pole. On it was the following sentence, "Qi Replenishing Pill, two hundred silver coins each!"

With that, Ye Lan sat cross-legged on the ground and silently channeled the Heaven and Earth Creation Art. As he constantly absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the whirls of the Qi Vortexes in his dantian intensified, increasing his cultivation.

"Qi Replenishing Pills? He dares to ask for two hundred silver coins each?"

Upon walking past Ye Lan's stall in the Celestial Jade Workshop, the cultivators could not help but exclaim out loud when they saw the price at which the Qi Replenishing Pills is being sold at.

"That's right. Even the Qin Family's Vitality Replenishing Pills are only worth a hundred silver coins each. I've never even heard of the Qi Replenishing Pills before, yet he dares to sell them for two hundred silver coins each? What does it even do?"

"I've seen many kinds of ruthless people in my life, but I've met someone as wicked as him before!"

At that moment, the surrounding cultivators burst into heated discussion with one another.

Even so, Ye Lan did not really care about them.

After all, he was only interested in the ones who considered buying his pills.

"Little brother, may I ask what the effects of your Qi Replenishing Pill are for you to sell it at two hundred silver coins?"

While the cultivators continued to discuss among themselves around Ye Lan's stall, a few middle-aged men slowly walked past the crowd and arrived in front of Ye Lan.

One of the middle-aged men squatted down, looked at Ye Lan, and asked with a smile.

"By consuming this pill, a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm will be able to recover 10% of their Genuine Qi in a breath's time."

Ye Lan replied calmly.

"Haha! What kind of bullsh*t is that?"

"You're claiming that a Body Tempering Cultivator will be able to recover 10% of their Genuine Qi upon consuming it?"

"Even my Qin Family's alchemist isn't capable of making such medicinal pills, so how could yours possibly have such a miraculous effect?"

"It's obvious that you're trying to scam us!"

Suddenly, a mocking voice resounded from the crowd at that moment and interrupted their conversation.

As the crowd parted like the Red Sea, a young man with delicate features dressed in brocade robes walked over to Ye Lan's stall along with his few attendants.

That young man, seemingly around the age of seventeen, had a face similar to that of Qin Yijun.

After taking a moment to think, Ye Lan recognized that young man to be the younger son of Patriarch Qin — Qin Yiming. In Lucid Aqua Town, he was famous for being a young overlord gifted with martial talent as he had already broken through to the third stage of the Body Tempering Realm and was on the verge of breaking through to the next stage.

Relying on the reputation of his Qin Family and the fame of his genius older brother, he would often commit wicked deeds and bully innocent people who were only minding their own business.

"I'm trying to do business here. Where did you dogs come from?"

Ye Lan said indifferently.

"Who are you calling a dog?"

Qin Yiming's eyes narrowed as a cold glint flashed across them.

"Why do I keep a dog barking?"

Ye Lan replied without any hesitation.

"Damn you, you certainly have guts! But how dare you call me a dog?! Today, this young master will teach you a lesson!"

Qin Yiming exclaimed in a fit of rage.

Under normal circumstances, no one dared to provoke him in Lucid Aqua Town. Whenever people saw him around the area, they would instinctively hide themselves to avoid being his target. So who in their right mind would dare to insult him directly and call him a dog in public?

As such, Qin Yiming wanted to make an example out of the man before him in order to vent the anger in his heart.

At that moment, he raised his hand as a signal to order his men to attack Ye Lan.

"Young Master Qin, I'm going to talk business with this little brother. Why are you trying to cause trouble here?"

Before Qin Yiming's men could make their move, the middle-aged man from before swept his cold gaze across and stared menacingly at Qing Yiming.

Upon meeting that middle-aged man's gaze, Qin Yiming could not help but shiver as a hint of fear and panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.

With that, he immediately stopped his men from taking action.

"Humph! Stinking bastard, consider yourself lucky. Today, for the sake of the Seven Guardians of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion, I'll be willing to let you off just this once."

Qin Yiming scowled at Ye Lan and said in frustration.

The Myriad Medicines Pavilion possessed great influence in Lucid Aqua Town and was not inferior to the Qin Family whatsoever.

Furthermore, the experts part of that pavilion were as numerous as the clouds in the sky. With such a strong background, they were not a force that the Qin Family could afford to provoke.

The middle-aged man stood as one of the Seven Guardians of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion. Thus, his status was also much higher than that of Qin Yiming.

Naturally, upon hearing his warning, Qin Yiming decisively pulled his men back and did not clash recklessly with Ye Lan.

Instead, he opted to stay on the side and see whether the Qi Replenishing Pill that Ye Lan was selling really was worth its high price or not.

"Little brother, may I test the effects of your Qi Replenishing Pill?"

After telling Qin Yiming to stop, the Guardian of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion shifted his gaze towards Ye Lan once again and asked with a smile.

"Sure, but remember to pay two hundred silver coins after consuming it."

Ye Lan replied.

"Naturally."

The Guardian nodded his head.

Following that, he picked up a Qi Replenishing Pill and passed it to one of his followers.

"Take it and test its effect."

The Guardian ordered.

The follower nodded his head lightly and swallowed the Qi Replenishing Pill without hesitation.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a powerful surge of spiritual energy started fluctuating around the follower's body.

After a short while, the follower was dumbstruck as his eyes opened wide in disbelief.

"Sir, its the real deal!"

Waking from his stupor, the follower hurriedly looked towards the Guardian and exclaimed.

"Really?"

Hearing the words of his follower, the Guardian was shocked and could not help but ask.

"I'm serious!"

The follower nodded with the utmost certainty.

Seeing this, the Guardian had not reason to suspect that his follower was lying to him.

"Little brother, how many Qi Replenishing Pills do you have for sale?"

"Including the one your men just consumed, there's a total of fifty."

Ye Lan replied.

"Alright, I'll buy them all!"

The Guardian declared.

A pill that could instantly recover ten percent of a Body Tempering Cultivator's Genuine Qi was definitely a rare treasure.

For Body Tempering Cultivators, this Qi Replenishing Pill could turn the tide of crucial moments in a battle of life and death. If a Body Tempering Cultivator were on the verge of death and had exhausted their supply of Genuine Qi, they would be able to consume the pill as a last resort and possibly survive through the battle with the extra ten percent of their Genuine Qi.

Thus, after confirming the Qi Replenishing Pill's effects, the Guardian of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion naturally bought all of the pills that Ye Lan prepared to sell in one go without any hesitation at all.

"Sure. Including the one your men consumed earlier, the fifty Qi Replenishing Pills will cost a total of ten thousand silver coins."

Ye Lan said.

"This should be worth 10,000 silvers. You may check it if you want."

Reaching into his pocket, the Guardian took out a stack of silver notes worth 10,000 silvers and handed it to Ye Lan.

"No need, these Qi Replenishing Pill are all yours."

Ye Lan said in a straightforward manner after taking the silver notes and keeping them in his pocket.

"Thank you very much."

The Guardian cupped his fist and thanked Ye Lan before putting the Qi Replenishing Pills into his pocket.

With that, he looked at Ye Lan and asked, "Little brother, may I know what your name is?"

Since the youth was able to sell such a miraculous pill, the Guardian naturally wanted to get to know him better and see whether he could buy more of those Qi Replenishing Pills from him in the future.

"I'd rather stay anonymous. There's no need for you to ask any further."

Ye Lan responded without any intentions of revealing his identity to the Guardian.

After all, the main reason why he sold these Qi Replenishing Pills was because he was lacking money.

He did not intend to come here every day to put these pills up for sale.

"In that case, I shall take my leave. In the future, if fate wills it, I hope that I can get to know this little brother properly."

The Guardian let out a bitter laugh before turning to leave, taking his followers with him.

The surrounding cultivators were all dumbfounded.

They never expected the Qi Replenishing Pills that the youth in front of them was selling to actually be bought by someone.

Could the Qi Replenishing Pill really be that magical? Could it really recover ten percent of a Body Tempering Cultivator's Genuine Qi in a single breath's time?

Impossible!

Even the Ye Family and Qin Family were unable to refine such medicinal pills.

How could this youth be selling such miraculous pills?

Had these cultivators not recognized the middle-aged man from before, who was one of the Seven Guardians of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion, they would probably have thought that the man and Ye Lan were working together.

However, that clearly did not seem to be the case.

Thus, there was only one reason why the Guardian of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion would be willing to spend 10,000 silvers to buy all the remaining Qi Replenishing Pills in one go. Those pills definitely had the miraculous effect that the young man in front of them was advertising!

"Little brother, do you still have any more of those Qi Replenishing Pills? I want to buy ten of them!"

"I want twenty!

"Thirty pills!"

At that moment, the surrounding cultivators took out all of their savings in order to buy the Qi Replenishing Pills from Ye Lan.

From the side, Qing Yiming looked at the scene in front of him with an ashen face.

He did not expect that the Qi Replenishing Pill that Ye Lan was selling would actually have such a miraculous effect. Even one of the Seven Guardians of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion had admitted to it.

Thinking about it at the beginning, he had solemnly and confidently declared that the Qi Replenishing Pill that Ye Lan sold would definitely not have the effect of restoring ten percent of Body Tempering Cultivator's Genuine Qi in one breath's time.

Yet now, his previous words had come back to slap him in the face!

Qin Yiming's face twisted uglier by the second as his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by needles.

At that moment, he shot a menacing gaze towards Ye Lan filled with cold killing intent.

"Sorry, but the Qi Replenishing Pills has already been sold out."

Ye Lan clapped his hands and replied calmly.

With that, he packed up and left the Celestial Jade Workshop, leaving behind the group of regretful cultivators.
