After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 67 Mistaking a Pearl for a Fish Eye

The good news was immediately shared with Xu Yihan, who remained silent for a long time after hearing it.

Although he hasn't mentioned it these past few days and seems not to care much about the ten-day elimination, it's actually just that he doesn't want to put pressure on everyone and is afraid of disappointing them.

Although I had made up my mind that I would face life positively regardless of whether my leg could be saved, and take on the responsibility of being the sect leader and being accountable to my disciples, I still couldn't help but feel excited when I heard about the good progress.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader, I've already bought those materials. I'll start refining them once my skills are up to par," Du Yue assured him. "I will definitely work harder and strive to improve as soon as possible."

She knows without even trying that this complicated formula is not something she can handle; forcing herself to try it would only waste materials.

Since Junior Sister Jiuwei said she was still lacking, then she would wait a little longer; she believed that day was not far off.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, take your time," Xu Yihan said with a smile, though his voice trembled slightly.

After Du Yue left, Xu Yihan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and concealed the turmoil within.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, regained his composure, and continued reading as his slender fingers turned the pages.

After some time, Chen Lan and Ji Qingqing took Mo Jiuwei to the market again.

In the past few days, Hu Jiu and his team have produced some more products, many of which are duplicates and need to be sold.

Actually, selling things wasn't in such a hurry, but Mo Jiuwei was really feeling cooped up in the sect, and she had been suffering a lot from the medicinal baths these past few days, so Chen Lan wanted to take her out to eat and have some fun.

One of the herbs in the medicinal bath not only treats illnesses but also has skin-beautifying and softening effects. After soaking in it for several days, Mo Jiuwei's skin became even whiter and more tender, like a luminous white pearl, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Du Yue joked, "Junior sister is only a few months old and she's already taking care of her skin. This is far beyond all the female cultivators. I wonder how beautiful she will be when she grows up."

Ji Qingqing set up her stall, while Chen Lan carried Mo Jiuwei as they strolled through the streets.

When Chen Lan sees good spiritual fruits or things that babies can eat, she will buy them without hesitation, no matter how expensive they are.

"...What a bunch of junk beads! Bah, they're completely useless! Return them to me right now!"

While browsing through a shop, she suddenly heard an angry roar from a male cultivator inside, which immediately made Mo Jiuwei's ears perk up.

【What's up? 】

[There's a show to watch! Hurry, let's go see what's going on!]

Chen Lan chuckled and carried Mo Jiuwei closer to the shop.

The shop is called "Xianhuoju" and mainly sells items that aid in cultivation.

At that moment, a male cultivator with a fierce look slammed a box on the table, and the shop assistants in the shop were somewhat flustered.

"We don't accept returns for our items, and besides, this bead is perfectly fine..."

"What do you mean by this? You don't want to give me a refund? Fine, everyone come and see! Not only are the products from this store of poor quality, but they also have no responsibility once sold. You absolutely must not buy anything from this store!" the male cultivator shouted.

The waiter grew even more anxious and hurriedly whispered to another waiter beside him, "Where's the manager?"

"He went to find Manager Liu, and he hasn't come back yet," the man replied.

"What should I do..."

“I sent him a telepathic message urging him to come back.”

After sending the message, the shopkeeper's expression darkened even more when he heard the reply. "The shopkeeper said he wouldn't be back for a while and told us to handle it as we saw fit, and to avoid refunding if possible."

"Then this..."

"Let's just give it a try for now."

Looking at the male cultivator in front of them, the two knew that this matter was probably not easy to resolve.

But no matter what, we have to bite the bullet and go for it. “Fellow Daoist, you bought this item the day before yesterday. I remember you looked at it for a long time and thought it over before deciding to buy it. If that’s the case, why return it? I see that this Tranquility Pearl is perfectly intact, without any damage at all.”

"It is complete, but you told me that wearing it would calm the mind and improve cultivation efficiency, preventing distractions... But it had no effect on me after I used it, and it cost me nearly a thousand crystals!"

The male cultivator grew increasingly angry as he spoke, slamming his hand on the table. "I bought this from your store. You yourself remember that I bought it the day before yesterday, you weren't lying. Since it's not working, then I'll return it!"

"But this..."

"What? You don't believe it's ineffective? If you don't believe it, then try it yourself... Oh no, it's not up to you to decide. You go out into the crowd and pick some people to try it on, so everyone can see if it really is ineffective!"

The male cultivator pointed outside the bunk.

Even cultivators love to watch the excitement.

In just a short while, a large crowd gathered at the shop entrance, craning their necks to look inside, their dense mass almost blocking out the daylight.

"Want to try? I can try," someone said with a smile.

"Exactly, if there's a problem with the product, you have to take responsibility. Do you think you can just ignore it once it's sold?"

"This shop must be newly opened, right? If all the products are of this quality, I won't dare to buy from here again."

Everyone said it one after another.

Chen Lan felt that the surroundings were a bit crowded and was afraid of hurting Mo Jiuwei, so she wanted to carry her away.

Anyway, we've already seen the gist of the commotion and know what's going on, so there's no need to know the outcome.

It doesn't look like it'll cause much of a stir.

[Tsk, mistaking a pearl for a fish eye!]

[This isn't some kind of Tranquility Bead; it's clearly a Spirit Gathering Bead, and an extremely rare, top-grade one at that!]

Chen Lan paused as she was about to turn around, her eyes widening slightly.

She looked at Mo Jiuwei, but Mo Jiuwei was craning her neck, trying to see the excitement through the gaps in the crowd.

A Tranquility Bead costs several hundred crystals, but a top-grade Spirit Gathering Bead starts at tens of thousands of crystals, and it's something you can't even buy if you want to.

What's wrong with the shop owner of this store? How could they make a mistake with such a valuable item?

Mo Jiuwei didn't understand.

She has sharp ears and eyes; even if she only glances at it from afar, she can recognize what it is from the unique color of the bead.

Although they look somewhat similar, this is definitely not a Tranquility Bead; it is clearly a Spirit Gathering Bead.

The Tranquility Bead can help one calm their mind during cultivation, but the Spirit Gathering Bead is for gathering spiritual energy, which is why it has no effect on male cultivators.

The male cultivator bought this top-quality treasure for only a few hundred crystals. He should have been secretly happy, as he had gotten a huge bargain.

Unfortunately, he lacked the eyesight to recognize the item and didn't know its purpose. He thought he had been scammed, so he went to the shop to try and get a refund.

Chen Lan: ...

After understanding the whole story, her heart started pounding wildly.

Now she stopped moving and instead carefully squeezed forward a little.

She arrived early and was already standing near the front, but with the push, she ended up standing right at the very front.
