With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Gu Qing looked up and saw a woman with a delicate oval face, snow-white, smooth skin, and a warm, jade-like luster walking out. She was tall and graceful, and in short, very beautiful.

For some reason, at first glance, Gu Qing guessed that the other person might be Yuan Yao—those bare feet were truly beautiful.

"What do you sell in the shop?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

The woman gave a gentle smile, raised her hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "The shop mainly sells pills, talismans, and formations."

"There are more than ten kinds of pills, such as Foundation Building Pill, Vitality Cultivation Pill, Qi Condensation Pill, and Golden Deer Pill. Each pill has different effects, and there is definitely one that you need."

"As for talismans, my martial uncle only sells ten mid-to-high-level talismans per month, each costing four thousand spirit stones. Although the price is a bit expensive, everyone who has used them says they are good."

"And there's an array..."

The woman spoke slowly and deliberately, introducing all the items in the shop in one breath. After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Qing, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation, making her look very charming.

Gu Qing was not affected by the woman's beauty and instead asked, "Does your shop accept items? I have some things I want to sell."

"Selling items? Then you'll have to go next door, senior. Our Eight Immortals Pavilion doesn't accept items," the woman said apologetically.

Gu Qing shook his head slightly after hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless. He thought to himself: Didn't I ask Tieguai Li to help me collect some rare wood before?

"Can I know your name?" Gu Qing suddenly asked.

Although the woman found it strange, she finally replied, "My name is Yuan Yao. Senior, are you really not going to buy anything?"

"Yuan Yao, is there a guest?" A beautiful woman walked out of the side hall. She had a gentle and charming temperament, and her eyes were captivating.

Upon seeing the woman's face, Gu Qing guessed that she was Yan Li. Yuan Yao and Yan Li, these two good sisters, were actually both at the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

Gu Qing glanced at Yanli. She was indeed a pretty girl, especially her eyes, which were very captivating, but she was clearly not as outstanding as Yuan Yao.

Both of them are currently only at the Qi Refining stage, but Yuan Yao has excellent talent and is expected to form a Golden Core before the age of one hundred—of course, this will require a large supply of resources.

The two women stood side by side, and Yuan Yao was clearly a head taller than Yan Li.

"What would you like to order, sir?" Yanli's gaze swept over Gu Qing from head to toe. She couldn't quite gauge his strength, only feeling that he was incredibly powerful.

Just then, another woman with an ordinary appearance walked out of the side hall and stood in front of Yuan Yao and Yan Li, appearing rather unremarkable.

This woman was none other than Xin Ruyin after she had successfully established her foundation. At this time, Xin Ruyin had not only successfully established her foundation, but her cultivation had also improved, reaching the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Seeing that it was Gu Qing, Xin Ruyin was also a little surprised and said, "Senior Brother has come out of seclusion? This is Senior Brother Gu whom I told you about before; these two are the disciples that Uncle recently took in, named Yuan Yao and Yan Li."

"Hehe, my two junior sisters are too kind," Gu Qing said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing that it was their senior brother, Yanli immediately came closer, looking rather dazed: "You're our senior brother? Senior brother, since it's our first time meeting, don't you have any gifts for us?"

"Yanli, don't be rude. Senior brother, don't mind her." Yuan Yao couldn't help but scold Yanli. How could she ask for a gift from someone right away?

"Junior sisters, I've heard our Martial Uncle mention it a few times. He has indeed prepared some gifts for you." With that, Gu Qing took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag and handed them over.

Yanli took the bottle of pills and opened it to examine it: "Senior brother, what kind of pills are these? They don't look like Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Yanli!" Yuan Yao said coquettishly. Wouldn't this make her senior brother think they were snobbish people?

Gu Qing smiled faintly after hearing this and said, "This is a Youth Preservation Pill. As long as you take one, you can maintain your youthful appearance forever."

"Ah! Really?" Yanli was very surprised. She had never heard of such a miraculous pill.

Excited, Yanli stepped forward and grabbed Gu Qing's hand, saying, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother! Yuan Yao and I both love this gift!"

Yuan Yao was surprised for a moment when she heard that it was a Youth-Preserving Pill, and then she thanked Gu Qing along with Yan Li.

Xin Ruyin, feigning jealousy, said, "Senior brother, when I first joined the sect, I didn't see you give me any gifts."

Gu Qing was slightly embarrassed after hearing this and could only say something like he would make it up later to brush it off.

After giving the gifts, Gu Qing chatted with Xin Ruyin.

Nowadays, Tieguai Li has changed his practice of drawing talismans every day and no longer accepts reservations. He will only leave ten mid-to-high-level talismans in the Eight Immortals Pavilion every month.

Mid- to high-level talismans are extremely powerful, enough to alter the terrain of a small area, and their power is comparable to some magical talismans.

With such great power, the price was naturally high. Tieguai Li asked Xin Ruyin to quote a price of four thousand spirit stones for each mid-to-high-level talisman.

The price deterred most people, but some who didn't lack spirit stones would still buy one or two. Those who had used the mid-to-high-level talismans made by Tieguai Li all praised them, only finding the price somewhat unreasonable.

It should be noted that four thousand spirit stones are enough to purchase two top-grade magic artifacts. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator possesses two top-grade magic artifacts, they will be considered an outstanding figure in combat.

Therefore, with such a high price, fewer people would buy it. But this way, Tieguai Li could also take a break and not have to draw talismans every day; and by selling two or three high-level talismans a month, the spirit stones he earned would be enough to match the income he used to make by drawing mid-to-low-level talismans every day.

All things considered, it's still quite worthwhile—you still earn spirit stones, but save a lot of time.

Of course, besides talismans, the shop now also sells other items, such as elixirs. Most of these elixirs are reasonably priced and are made by Tieguai Li using level-five demon cores.

In addition, array plates crafted by Xin Ruyin are also available for sale at very affordable prices.

Aside from the talismans being more expensive, the other two items were quite ordinary in price, but even so, they were still beyond the reach of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, the Eight Immortals Pavilion didn't seem as bustling as before.

"Senior brother, these are the spirit stone income and expenditure accounts for last month." Xin Ruyin is a meticulous person who manages the shop's affairs in an orderly manner, so others don't need to worry about her.

Gu Qing took the bill and glanced at it: last month's total income was 16,000 spirit stones, of which two mid-to-high-level talismans were sold, three Foundation Establishment Pills were sold, and the remaining pills and array plates yielded more than 2,000 spirit stones.

However, it also cost more than two thousand spirit stones, mainly for purchasing array flags, animal hides and other materials, most of which were purchased from the neighboring Six-Linked Hall.

Speaking of the Six-Linked Palace, during Gu Qing's seclusion, the other party also sent a message saying that they had found a rare tree and asked him to come to the Six-Linked Palace.

However, Gu Qing was in seclusion at the time, so he ignored it. Now that he has emerged from seclusion, he can go to the Six-Linked Palace and acquire that rare tree.

With that in mind, Gu Qing prepared to head to the Six-Linked Palace to see what kind of rare wood the other party had obtained.
