Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Eh, me? Okay, 300 it is then." The young man was helpless. Just as the other party said, if he went to other shops to sell it, he definitely wouldn't be able to get 300 spirit stones. He had asked other shops before coming to Wanbaolou.

Seeing that the other party agreed, the female appraiser smiled and took the medicinal herbs, then paid the other party 300 spirit stones.

Ye Liuyu and Lin Aoxue observed for a while and found that most of the transactions here were small-scale; large-scale transactions were unlikely to occur here.

However, they didn't see it, so Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue could only ask someone. There were maids standing everywhere, so asking them was definitely the right thing to do.

"Young lady, are all the transactions at your Wanbaolou conducted here?" Ye Liuyun asked a maid.

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately understood what Ye Liuyun meant.

"Oh, this is a retail trading area. The value of the items traded here generally does not exceed 10,000 spirit stones. If you need a larger transaction, you can go to the large transaction room," the maid of Wanbaolou explained with a smile.

"Is that so? Alright then, could you please show me the location of the large transaction room?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

The maid nodded immediately and then led Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue to another trading hall. However, this trading hall consisted of private rooms, with a total of twenty rooms. Because it was a large transaction, and to prevent people with ulterior motives from paying attention, these rooms were equipped with isolation arrays. People outside could not see what was happening inside, nor could they hear the sounds inside.

It's quite spacious here, and there aren't as many people as in the retail trading hall. Looking around, there are only a few dozen people sitting here waiting.

Moreover, judging from their auras, the weakest among them must be at least at the Spirit Pattern Realm, and there are even cultivators at the Dao Palace Realm.

"Gentlemen, you can wait here for a moment. Once the guests in these private rooms come out, you can go in. Of course, according to the principle of first come, first served, you will need to wait for the first guests to go in and complete their transactions before you can enter," the maid explained.

Ye Liuyun didn't say much, then led Lin Aoxue to the spot the other party indicated and sat down quietly to wait in line.

The cultivators sitting here appeared calm, but in reality, they were all wary of each other out of the corner of their eyes. After all, those who came here to trade had items worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones is a considerable sum even for cultivators at the Spirit Pattern Realm. In the Six Yang Mountains, it is common for cultivators to fight each other for things.

Of course, this kind of behavior mostly occurs among rogue cultivators and evil cultivators; ordinary sect cultivators rarely do such things.

As time passed, people gradually came out of the private room. Some were very happy, while others were quite irritable.

"Damn it, does Wanbaolou even know what's good for them? I only got 20 spirit stones for this top-grade blue-level refining material? Who are you trying to rip off?" A hot-tempered man cursed at the appraiser in the private room before storming off.

Chapter 194 Tianfu Sect

Currently, there is a general range for the transaction amount of materials on the market. White-tier materials are not worth mentioning; they are generally worth less than 500 spirit stones and are considered extremely common.

The sects buy them in bulk, so they aren't very valuable.

Starting with green-grade materials, low-grade materials generally start at 400 spirit stones, mid-grade materials at 1200 spirit stones, high-grade materials at 3600 spirit stones, and top-grade materials at 7200 spirit stones. Among these materials, medicinal herbs are judged based on their age; the older the herbs, the higher their medicinal efficacy and value.

Materials for crafting weapons are generally more expensive than materials for crafting medicine of the same grade.

Blue-grade materials generally start at 2 spirit stones for low-grade, 6 spirit stones for mid-grade, 12 spirit stones for high-grade, and 22 spirit stones for top-grade.

That hot-tempered guy just now said that his item was a top-grade blue-level medicinal herb, but the other party only offered 20 spirit stones, so he felt that the appraiser deliberately lowered the price.

However, in reality, if the other party offers a low price in the market, it means that there is a problem with your medicinal materials, such as insufficient age or other reasons.

The irritable guy from earlier was fined 20,000 spirit stones by the appraiser because his medicinal herb was only 98 years old, not even 100. That was already considered a lenient charge.

If he were to trade with other shops, he would have to pay at least 40,000 spirit stones. However, many cultivators are not alchemists, so they don't understand these things. They only know the value of their own items, but they don't know the intricacies of the trade. Besides, paying 20,000 spirit stones would be painful for anyone.

But since it's a transaction, the price isn't fixed. The premise is that you have to convince the appraiser to raise the price. Like that irritable guy earlier, he clearly didn't have the patience to argue with the appraiser.

The monks who had been patiently waiting there entered the trading room one after another, and others came in one after another.

At first, everything was orderly and there were no disharmonious incidents. However, just as Ye Liuyun was about to get to the front of the line, something unpleasant happened.

A female cultivator at the Spirit Pattern Realm entered the area with several followers. The female cultivator was at the late stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm. They were all dressed similarly and were probably disciples of a sect. After entering, they stood at the entrance and observed the people inside.

"Gentlemen, you need to sit down and wait in line for the transaction. It will be quick," said the maid from Wanbaolou who led them in with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she left, but the men and women next to her immediately showed their displeasure when they heard that they had to wait in line.

"Queue up? Hmph! Who do you think my junior sister is? Queue up? Queue up my ass."

A young man at the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm immediately whispered something to the leading female disciple.

After listening, the female cultivator glanced at the seats in front of her and then actually sat down in the seat in front of Ye Liuyun, instead of following the rules and sitting in the back.

"Huh? What the heck? Is this someone cutting in line?" Ye Liuyun was stunned.

Lin Aoxue, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a displeased expression.

Normally, it's first come, first served, and those who arrive later should sit at the back. But this group of people sat in front of Ye Liuyun as soon as they came in. This is a typical case of cutting in line. They probably thought Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was too low, and the people sitting behind Ye Liuyun also had low cultivation levels, so they didn't take them seriously.

Ye Liuyun thought about it and ultimately decided not to cause trouble, so he didn't say anything. After all, people who are so arrogant usually have a powerful background.

As for the cultivators behind Ye Liuyun, although they were very dissatisfied with the group's attire, they did not say anything.

However, to Ye Liuyun's surprise, Lin Aoxue suddenly spoke up.

"Young lady, please go to the back of the line. There is a queue here," Lin Aoxue immediately reminded her.

Her words were relatively polite; judging from the other person's demeanor, she knew he must be a cultivator from a powerful sect.

"queue?"

Upon hearing this, the young man at the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm looked around and then said with a dismissive expression.

"Young lady, I'm curious, where is the rule that we need to queue? Is it written down?" the young man asked, feigning curiosity.

Upon hearing this, his fellow students immediately burst into laughter, pretending to be foolish and mocking Lin Aoxue.

This group of people came from the Tianfu Sect. Although it was a small sect within the Yun Sect, in terms of overall strength, it was only slightly weaker than the four lower-level sects. Their sect also had two cultivators at the fourth level of the Dao Palace realm, and they were considered the most promising force to replace the four lower-level sects.

Because their overall strength is not much different from that of the four major sects, their disciples are also quite arrogant and domineering, and they often dare to challenge the disciples of the four major sects.

As for the four major sects, given their considerable power, they also chose to endure as much as possible.

"Is what I'm saying funny? Didn't the person who brought you in tell you that there's a queue here? I'm warning you, if you want to cut in line, don't cut in our line," Lin Aoxue warned dangerously.

The moment this group entered, their gazes were incredibly unpleasant. By the way, the reason they were so high-profile was because the female disciple leading the Tianfu Sect was the daughter of the Tianfu Sect Master—a status that ordinary disciples couldn't match.

Her lackeys did this on purpose to show off in front of these women. People who consider themselves superior like to get special treatment to highlight their difference.

This kind of thing is absurd, but it is very real in both the secular world and the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world, people with strength and status do not need to follow the rules. For example, if Yun Yun and the others came to Wanbaolou, the Wanbaolou Master would probably personally receive them, and they wouldn't need to queue up here.

"What? Young lady, are you not convinced? Oh, judging from your attire, you must be a servant. Young master, keep an eye on your maid and tell her not to talk nonsense, or she'll get herself into trouble." The Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator from the Tianfu Sect immediately glared at Ye Liuyun and warned her.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "How come I always run into annoying people wherever I go?" But she still whispered something to Lin Aoxue.

"Aoxue, alright, this young lady must be in a hurry and wants to complete the transaction quickly, so let's let her have her way," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue was very unhappy when she heard Ye Liuyun say that, but she couldn't help it. She returned to Ye Liuyun's side and stopped talking.

However, Ye Liuyun's words did not make the other party happy; on the contrary, they made the group unhappy, especially the girl.

"Never mind, senior brother, I'm not in a hurry. Since there's a rule here that we need to queue, let's go to the back and queue up." The girl stood up and prepared to sit down at the back.

However, the eldest disciple of Tianfu Sect was unhappy. He felt that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had made him lose face in front of his junior sister, who really wanted to marry him.

"Junior sister, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. He's just a lowly cultivator at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. What does he know? In the cultivation world, the strong have always been respected. We're sitting in front of him to give him face. Why should he have to give way?" This senior disciple of the Heavenly Floating Sect, I don't know what his brain is made of, that this can make him unhappy.

It can only be said that one's level of understanding is too low, making it difficult to gain respect wherever one goes.

If Ye Liuyun had shown a cultivation level of at least the Spirit Sea Realm, they wouldn't have been so arrogant.

The young lady of the Tianfu Sect was stunned. She thought for a moment and then sat down again, but the matter was not over yet, because this young man actually wanted Ye Liuyun to apologize for what he had just said.

"Boy, you'd better apologize to my junior sister for what you just said, or you'll face the consequences." The eldest disciple of the Tianfu Sect walked up to Ye Liuyun and said condescendingly.

Lin Aoxue couldn't hold back any longer. A murderous aura slowly emanated from her body, and she stared at the top disciple of the Tianfu Sect with eyes that looked like she wanted to kill him.

"Boy, I'm warning you, this isn't your home, and my young master isn't your servant. Watch your language and get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite." The power emanating from Lin Aoxue's body, although only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm, was clearly stronger than that of a typical peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

"Huh? What a terrifying aura! This woman is extraordinary." The young man was locked onto by Lin Aoxue's aura and involuntarily took a step back.

But when he thought about his junior sister being here, if he showed a cowardly attitude, how could he possibly perform in front of her in the future?

"Kid, not bad. You, a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, actually have such a powerful cultivator as your maid. It seems you have quite a background. But even if you have a background, apart from the four major sects, who would dare to offend our Tianfu Sect?" This guy brought up the name of the Tianfu Sect.

Upon hearing that this group belonged to the Tianfu Sect, the others were all relieved that they hadn't been the first to speak out, as the Tianfu Sect was one of the strongest sects below the four lower-level sects.

"Oh, no wonder you're so arrogant. So you're from the Tianfu Sect. But so what? This is Wanbaolou, not your Tianfu Sect. Fellow Daoists from Wanbaolou over there, are you sure you're not going to do anything about this group of unreasonable people?" Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and then called out to the maid standing at the entrance.

The maids were initially confused, but they understood what was going on when they saw Lin Aoxue arguing with the people from the Tianfu Sect.

The Tianfu Sect is one of the most powerful forces in this region. Within the Yun Sect's territory, its overall strength ranks among the top ten, so they don't really want to offend the people of the Tianfu Sect.

Of course, this wasn't because Wanbaolou was afraid of Tianfu Sect, but simply because they didn't want to cause trouble.

But since Lin Aoxue had already called them, they had no choice but to come and do something about it.

"Fellow Daoists of the Tianfu Sect, there is indeed a queue here. Please do not make things difficult for this young master," the maid said politely.

With the Wanbaolou people speaking up, the Tianfu Sect members had no reason to object this time.

"This? Our Tianfu Sect is one of the VIPs of your Wanbaolou, don't we even have this much privilege?" The eldest disciple of Tianfu Sect was still unhappy.

Unfortunately, the maid shook her head again. The privileges of VIP status were not here, and besides, the VIP tokens were not on them.

"Alright, senior brother, let's just wait in line. Young master, I apologize, we were ignorant of the rules." After standing up, the young lady of Tianfu Sect casually apologized to Ye Liuyun, and then walked directly to the back.

That day, the eldest disciple of the Floating Sect glared at Ye Liuyun with great displeasure, then led his men and followed his junior sister to the back.

However, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue could tell that the other party would definitely cause more trouble.

"Ah! Aoxue, if I had known, I would have let you be the young lady and I would have been the maid," Ye Liuyun sighed.

Chapter 195 The Prestige of the Exploding Spirit Pill

A few more minutes passed before someone finally came out of the private room, and Ye Liuyun immediately got up and walked over with Lin Aoxue.

Finally, he entered the private room amidst the displeased gazes of the Tianfu Sect members.

"Damn it, you bastard! If you hadn't talked so much, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and made me lose face in front of my junior sister." The eldest disciple of the Tianfu Sect thought to himself angrily.

There are many people like this top disciple of the Tianfu Sect in the cultivation world. This is not a world that follows reason, and it is difficult to judge this guy's mind using common sense.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Tianfu Sect can ignore the four major sects. The Tianfu Sect has formed an alliance with five other powerful sects, and this alliance is fully capable of confronting the four major sects.

However, with the Cloud Sect protecting the four major sects, both sides generally try to avoid direct conflict.

But for other smaller forces and independent cultivators, the attitude is different. Also, the disciples of the four major sects are quite arrogant outside.

However, since Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue are currently concealing their identities and are not dressed as disciples of the Yunxia Sect, their purpose is to sell medicine, so we can only wait and see.

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun entered the private room, and the maid immediately closed the door.

They saw a beautiful female cultivator wearing a pink dress. This female cultivator was truly stunning, an absolute beauty.

"Please have a seat, guest." The female cultivator stood up and smiled, gesturing for Ye Liuyun to sit down.

From the moment Ye Liuyun entered, his gaze remained fixed on the female cultivator's face. For some reason, this woman seemed to possess a magical power that captivated Ye Liuyun's mind.

"Little one, you've been a woman for so long, how come your resistance to women is still so weak? This woman has cultivated seductive arts, don't keep staring at her." Just as Ye Liuyun was wondering, Lin Qingyou's voice was like a bucket of cold water poured on her heart, instantly pulling her attention away from the woman.

After Ye Liuyun came to her senses, she realized that she had been tricked, and she muttered to herself in surprise.

"Seduction techniques? No wonder, the moment I walked in and saw her, I felt as if my mind was out of my control."

"Nonsense, seduction is a technique used against the opposite sex. It seems your mind still retains too much male thinking, which is why you fell for it," Lin Qingyou retorted.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile, then composed himself before turning his gaze back to the female cultivator.

"Young master, let me introduce myself. My name is Hua Moli, and I am an appraiser at Wanbaolou. May I ask what kind of item you wish to sell? If possible, please show it to me so I can have a look. Let's finish the transaction as soon as possible so that the other customers don't have to wait too long," the female appraiser said with a smile.

This woman's voice also contained an inexplicable power; listening to it repeatedly was somewhat like hypnosis, making your thoughts involuntarily follow her lead—this was also a form of seduction.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste any time. Instead, she took out a bottle of pills, specifically the Exploding Spirit Pill.

"What I'm selling is a medicinal pill, but this pill is my own creation. There are no pills of equivalent value on the market, so I need to have its value appraised," Ye Liuyun said.

Ye Liuyun took out the lowest quality Explosive Spirit Pill, which only had the pill's luster but no pill patterns. Ye Liuyun would not sell Explosive Spirit Pills with pill patterns to others casually.

The pills with Danwen (a type of medicinal pattern) are more effective and absorbed faster, while those without Danwen are slightly less effective, mainly in that their absorption rate is slightly slower.

"A new type of pill that you refined yourself?" The female appraiser was stunned. Mainly because she saw that Ye Liuyun was so young and only at the Spirit Stream Realm. Such a low realm, yet he could create a new type of pill on his own? If this were to be told, probably no one would believe it.

"Well, I guess so, but you should take a look and see." Ye Liuyun nodded.

With a skeptical attitude, Hua Moli picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and took a look. Inside, she saw a white pill radiating a rich, luminous light.

The elixir immediately caught her attention.

Putting aside the medicinal effects, the sheer intensity of the pill's radiance was enough to astonish her, as she had never seen a pill of such high quality before.

"The elixir glows so richly, and the medicinal fragrance is also very strong. Moreover, this should be made by combining Spirit Gathering Grass with other medicinal herbs. In essence, it should still be some kind of Spirit Gathering Pill, right?" Hua Moli asked.
