I am a high-level martial arts master.

"Phew~"

An hour later, as scalding hot air escaped from his mouth, Ye Li's eyes regained their clarity.

Coach Feng's initial assessment of the Dragon-Tiger Pill was: "A nun who eats it will embrace a pillar, a maiden who swallows it will love firewood!"

Now that Ye Li has personally tested it, the medicine's effects are indeed well-deserved!

If an ordinary person eats it, they will die within fifteen minutes, spitting blood from all nine orifices!

It's somewhat of a stretch to resist this kind of evil spirit with the willpower of someone in the early stages of body tempering!

Recalling the hardships of the past hour, Ye Li was filled with lingering fear:

Even with unparalleled willpower, I almost couldn't resist; the Dragon-Tiger Pill's potency was terrifying!

Having completed one-third of today's "Don't Do Challenges" routine, Ye Li felt an unprecedented surge of energy in his body! He felt refreshed and invigorated.

Looking up at the panel:

Realm: Early stage of Body Tempering (81/1834)

"Azure Dragon Strength (1918/100)"

In just one hour, the body refinement progress bar increased by 6 points, demonstrating the significant effect of triple experience.

Standing up from the ground, under the gaze of the Third Sister who looked at him as a god, Ye Li patted off non-existent dust and stepped out of Shuyu Pavilion.

Just as they came out, they saw the young man surnamed Wang emerge from the pavilion, clutching his waist, and talking to another core martial artist beside him:

"Tell me, what is the purpose of a person's life? Money? Love? Power? Force? Are these things important to us? Perhaps we should devote more time to martial arts instead of indulging in women. My inability to resist just now was simply due to a lack of willpower; I will definitely be able to resist next time..."

Watching the core disciples exchange their post-battle experiences during their "wise time," Ye Li paid little attention and headed towards Yun Jin Street.

This time, however, his target was the Baibaotang store that opened on this street.

Baibaotang has an unremarkable and even somewhat rustic name, but it is a powerful force that no one in the entire Guangming City dares to provoke.

Because all the pills circulating in the entire Guangming market come from there.

According to rumors circulating among the people, the power behind Baibaotang comes from the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty or even higher, and its shops can be found in any nearby city.

No matter which faction within Guangming wants to purchase elixirs for cultivation, they must go through this faction for procurement!

Although it is called Baibaotang, the entire building is actually a seven-story building.

It sells not only elixirs, but also talismans, holy water, hidden weapons, and precious armor.

Ye Li had only heard about this place before, but this was his first time stepping inside.

The moment you step inside, you can see how luxurious the building is.

The building appears simple from the outside, but inside, the sandalwood beams and pillars are carved with dragons holding pearls, and the floor is paved with lapis lazuli bricks. The cool light makes the crystal display cases on the walls shimmer and sparkle.

The display shelves were filled with all sorts of treasures, talismans, elixirs, weapons, and armor, befitting its status as the place that monopolized the entire city's elixir business.

"What would you like to see, esteemed guest?" Just as Ye Li looked up to observe, a clear voice came from behind him.

Turning his head, Ye Li saw a young girl in an apricot-yellow dress sitting at the counter.

The woman was about sixteen years old, with almond-shaped eyes that curved like crescent moons, and her cheeks still had a touch of baby fat. A green bell in her hair jingled lightly with her movements.

Ye Li gazed at the girl before him and stated his request: "Body Tempering Pills, 30 pills!"

Upon hearing Ye Li's request, the young woman remained unmoved. She stepped out from behind the counter and smiled, "Honorable guest, please wait here for me. I will fetch it right away!"

As she spoke, the girl's skirt fluttered as she walked toward the counter behind Ye Li.

Ring, ring, ring, ring—

As it swayed, the green bell in the girl's hair rang out crisply but not noisily.

But the moment it got close to Ye Li, the rhythmic ringing of the green bell suddenly stopped.

The girl paused slightly, then casually stroked her hair.

When the bell rang again, she gently tapped on the hidden compartment in the wall. With a click of the mechanism, three celadon medicine bottles slid onto the counter: "Honorable guest, ten taels each, original price."

Ye Li nodded to indicate that it was no problem, and was about to take out his money when the woman's laughter rang out: "However, I find this young man pleasing to the eye, so I'll give you a 10% discount, 270 taels!"

"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Ye Li's eyes. He had never heard of Baibaotang having a discount event before: "Could it be that this woman likes me?"

Thinking about his own appearance, Ye Li instantly felt normal again.

If someone can refuse a god-like person like themselves, they should probably invite a sage from the Six Paths to their home.

However, after considering it, Ye Li shook his head and said, "Forget it, just take whatever amount is due, so as not to implicate you in being punished."

After saying that, Ye Li raised his hand, took out 300 taels of silver, and slapped it on the table, saying, "300 taels, keep the change."

The young girl looked at Ye Li with a strange light in her beautiful eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, you must be a core disciple of the Azure Dragon Gang dressed like this."

Ye Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "How so?"

"We have a book called 'The Art of Strengthening Essence and Locking Vitality' in the hall. It can lock in essence, strengthen the body, and enhance male virility. It should be useful for you for the next six months. It costs 200 taels of silver. Would you like it?" the girl in the apricot-yellow dress said with a smile.

Ye Li frowned. Clearly, the girl had specifically suggested this cultivation method, which could help him survive the Dragon Tiger Pill, after learning about his identity as a core disciple.

Unfortunately, Ye Li could keep his underwear dry on his own, so there was no need for him to spend an extra 200 taels of silver to take the outside route.

Therefore, he calmly shook his head and said, "No need, I believe in my self-control, thank you for your kindness."

After saying that, Ye Li grabbed the porcelain bottle in front of him, put it away, and turned to leave.

But as he was leaving, he noticed an object displayed nearby, paused, and asked, "How much is that thing?"

Following Ye Li's gaze, the girl saw a shimmering piece of armor displayed in the corner.

"Sir, are you referring to this Silver Scale Armor? It's strong enough to withstand the slashes of a sword made of a thousand-times-forged steel. The price is 200 taels of silver."

"200 taels of silver..." Ye Li thought to himself.

A martial artist's body surface network of qi and blood can withstand blunt force blows, but it has no good defense against sharp weapons.

If one were to possess this armor, it would provide excellent defense against both sharp and blunt weapons in combat against opponents of the same level.

But two hundred taels...

Ye Li glanced at the object beside him and asked, "How much does this full-body heavy armor cost?"

At this moment, a heavy armor that provided protection from head to toe was placed in front of Ye Li.

The entire suit of armor only exposed the eyes, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.

The girl in the apricot-yellow dress thought for a moment and said, "This one... is not as good as the silver-phosphor armor, but it is made of high-quality materials, so it is not inferior in terms of defense."

"However, it's too bulky to carry around easily; it only costs 150 taels of silver!"

"This one is actually cheaper?" Ye Li was slightly surprised, then thought for a few days and said, "Let me consider it for a few days."

"It's alright, since you're interested, we'll keep this armor for you!" The apricot-yellow-clad girl smiled and watched Ye Li leave the Treasure Pavilion!

After Ye Li's figure disappeared, an old man quietly appeared beside the girl and asked curiously:

"Miss, what's so special about this person that makes him worthy of your attention?"

"Don't you think this person is mysterious?" the girl said with a smile, gazing at Ye Li's retreating figure.

Where is God...?

The old man really wanted to ask, but in the end he chose to trust the girl's judgment.

The girl in the apricot-yellow dress watched Ye Li's receding figure and smiled:

"This impromptu trip to Guangming was indeed very interesting."

As she spoke, the girl gently fiddled with the green bell in her hair, a sly glint in her eyes.

the student surpasses the master.

The entry that can bring silence to the area within three feet of the fortune-telling bell—is it purple... or higher?
