Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

After Yao Han finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions, and the male disciple who had spoken rudely earlier looked particularly unpleasant.

The woman surnamed Fu raised an eyebrow and looked Yao Han up and down several times with considerable surprise.

"So it's Senior Brother Yao from Feixia Island!"

Upon hearing his words, the gatekeeper felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He bowed to Yao Han before putting the spirit stone into his pocket.

"Since you joined the sect late, you may not know that every disciple in our Water Moon Palace can receive pills from the Pill Cauldron Pavilion to supplement their cultivation needs."

"However, the amount of pills each person can receive is rationed, and the pills they receive must correspond to their cultivation level, and they can only receive them once a year. Moreover, servants and outer disciples also have a requirement of fifty merits and demerits, but inner disciples like Senior Brother Yao do not have this restriction."

"Besides that, if you want to exchange pills from the Pill Pavilion, you either have to use merit points to exchange for them, or you can only buy them with spirit stones."

Yao Han stroked his chin:

"I see, thank you for informing me, Junior Brother. But I wonder, with my current cultivation level, what kind of pills can I exchange for?"

"Well... Senior Brother's magical power is so profound and harmonious that he must have already reached the peak of Qi Refining. In fact, he no longer needs to exchange for pills for the Qi Refining stage. However, according to the rules, Senior Brother can take away a bottle of 'Nine Yuan Pills' suitable for cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining."

"How many pills are in one bottle?"

There are ten in total, and everyone gets the same number.

Ten pieces? That's far too few.

Even a mosquito bite is still meat, and since it's free, why not take it?

He doesn't have time to go to the Good Deeds Pavilion to accept any bounty commissions right now, so it seems that if he wants to buy more, he'll have to spend more spirit stones.

Fortunately, Yao Han has no shortage of spirit stones.

"Hey, you two are having a good chat, are you pretending I don't exist?"

The woman surnamed Fu raised an eyebrow and said in an unfriendly tone:

"Junior Brother Yao, we arrived first! So what if you bring up the name of Feixia Island? They may be afraid of you, but I, Fu Xiaowan, am not!"

Yao Han's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This little girl is just as rumored; she's a troublemaker.

He bowed respectfully, neither servile nor arrogant:

"So it's Senior Sister Fu from Burning Bamboo Island. If we're talking about who arrived first, I was actually earlier, and you all should be at the back of the line."

"You were here first? I didn't see you. Junior Brother Yao is extremely rude. Does he think he can run rampant in the Pill Cauldron Pavilion just because he's a disciple of Flying Cloud Island?"

"You want Nine Yuan Pills, right? Perfect, that's exactly what we need. Junior Brother Yan, go and get me three bottles of Nine Yuan Pills. My three junior brothers and sisters have been in seclusion for a long time, and they haven't received their annual allowance yet."

The gatekeeper, surnamed Yan, wore a sour expression.

"Senior Sister Fu, if I could have taken it out, I wouldn't be complaining to you."

"You know perfectly well that the Nine Dew Branches, which are essential for refining the Nine Yuan Pill, can only be found in a few places in the Eastern Ridge, and they are all located on the border between our Water Moon Palace and Nianxuan Sect."

"The situation is chaotic right now, and we've been out of stock for half a year. The only thing we can offer is a batch that was refined a few months ago. Even with just that one batch, we have to hand it over to the elders, replenish the inventory, and distribute it to the market. After all that back and forth, the disciples will only get this little bit. And then..."

Junior Brother Yan suddenly stopped speaking with an embarrassed expression. Fu Xiaowan grew impatient and urged him repeatedly:

"Why did you stop halfway through your sentence? What else did you add?"

"In addition... in addition to the fact that you, Senior Sister Fu, have been overdrawing your allowance for several years in a row... there are very few Nine Yuan Pills left in the pavilion."

Junior Brother Yan lowered his head cautiously, speaking softer and softer as he spoke, while glancing at Fu Xiaowan's expression.

Well, he's a repeat offender.

Yao Han comforted Xiao Yuan while listening to their conversation with an amused expression.

However, the relationship between Shuiyue Palace and Nianxuan Sect seems to be even more tense than he had previously guessed.

Just how far has this border conflict progressed that it's caused a shortage of medicinal herbs? Could a real war have broken out?

Both sects are colossal structures standing tall in Dongling. If war were to break out, the entire Dongling region would likely be thrown into turmoil.

If you don't want to get involved, you should restore your cultivation and increase your strength as soon as possible.

"Fine, then just say you don't have it, why are you beating around the bush for so long?"

Fu Xiaowan rolled her eyes:

How many bottles are left?

"There are only two bottles left."

"Then I'll take two bottles. Bring them to me."

She reached out to Junior Brother Yan without any hesitation, completely disregarding Yao Han.

The latter narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

Having just arrived, he didn't want to cause trouble, but now that he'd been bullied to the point of being taken advantage of, if he continued to endure it, others might really think he was easy to bully.

Junior Brother Yan glanced furtively at Yao Han, his eyes filled with anticipation. But seeing that the other party remained unmoved, he could only sigh, dejectedly turn around and enter the tower. In no time, he returned to the group with two jade bottles in his hands.

Fu Xiaowan raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, gave Yao Han a contemptuous smile, and reached out to take the two bottles of Nine Yuan Pills into her palm.

Just as the jade bottle was about to change hands, a white light as fast as lightning suddenly flashed through the crowd, aiming to strike Fu Xiaowan's palm!

Fu Xiaowan's phoenix eyebrows furrowed, and a fierce glint appeared in her eyes:

"court death!"

She was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although she acted arrogantly, she had the right to be arrogant. With a sweep of her divine sense, she locked onto the white figure. With her other hand, she quickly made a hand seal, and several slender bamboo leaves wrapped in flames appeared in front of her. She attacked the white figure without any hesitation!

She had already seen through the white figure; wasn't it the small blue and white snake on Yao Han's shoulder?

Once hit by her Heart-Burning Leaf, this little snake is doomed!

"Hmph, a mere second-tier spirit beast dares to ambush me? This is your fate... What?!"

Fu Xiaowan was taken aback. The scene of the fire leaves burning the snake that she had imagined did not happen. Several leaves with shimmering flames passed directly through the white shadow, missed their target, and hit the bluestone floor, leaving behind smoky, charred holes.

Just as she was in a daze, a winding, twisting golden rope flew from the other side of her body and with a whoosh, hooked the two bottles of Nine Yuan Pills tightly.

"No, it's a 'restoration' talisman!"

Before Fu Xiaowan could react, the bright gold rope retracted, and all the Nine Yuan Pills fell into Yao Han's palm.

Xiao Yuan poked his head out from inside his clothes, hissing as if mocking him.

Fu Xiaowan was furious. She raised her right arm and summoned a ribbon-like magical artifact, glaring fiercely at Yao Han:

"You, Yao Han, dare to cross me! Even if He Muran came today, she wouldn't be able to save you!"

However, before she could even unleash her magical artifact, a booming, aged voice echoed from within the tower:

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Dan Pavilion!"
