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

This type of pill is the most difficult to refine among all conventional pills. If it were just a few, she wouldn't be so surprised, but Ye Liuyun bringing out a hundred of them is a bit too exaggerated.

However, this was Ye Liuyun's own habit; she always prepared her pills in units of one hundred.

"This pill is also my own creation. Your esteemed establishment could find a cultivator who has reached the bottleneck of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm to try it out. We can discuss the price after you've decided to consume it," Ye Liuyun replied calmly.

New types of elixirs can only be proven through drug trials; mere words are insufficient and a waste of time.

"This? Alright, young master, please wait a moment. I'll go find a suitable person to test the medicine." Hua Moli understood Ye Liuyun's meaning. If someone dares to let others test the medicine, it means they generally won't lie.

Hua Moli immediately contacted the people at Wanbaolou, but the first person she contacted was the owner of Wanbaolou. Then she asked her subordinates to find suitable candidates to come and test the medicine.

Why did Hua Moli ask them to contact the owner of Wanbaolou? It's because they had asked an alchemist to analyze the ingredients of Ye Liuyun's Exploding Spirit Pill these past few days, hoping to obtain the pill formula using this method. However, the alchemist they found was completely unable to analyze Ye Liuyun's pill.

Because these pills were forcibly fused together, and given Ye Liuyun's unparalleled alchemy skills—arguably the best in the world—no one could counteract her pills.

After giving the message, Hua Moli approached Ye Liuyun again, but this time she didn't use her charm. After all, she knew that he had a very strong maid by his side, and using charm would only make him unhappy.

The appraisers at Wanbaolou are all female cultivators, and most of them are very beautiful and have practiced seductive arts.

In the cultivation world, many people who do business or manage businesses are female cultivators.

Why? Because female cultivators have a natural advantage in interacting and communicating with others. Especially for male cultivators, unless they are completely averse to women, they will be more or less unconsciously tempted when faced with beautiful women.

The two talked about very ordinary things, just asking if Ye Liuyun was interested in a long-term cooperation with their Wanbaolou, allowing Wanbaolou to act as her agent for selling her pills.

"Oh? You can act as my agent for pills? Is that alright?" Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up when he heard Hua Moli's words.

It would be inappropriate for her to sell these pills herself; the best option would be for a powerful organization willing to act as her agent.

“As long as Young Master Ye has this idea, there’s no problem. However, this matter is quite significant, and it requires Young Master Ye to discuss it with our Master in person. By the way, after our Master saw your Exploding Spirit Pill last time, she instructed me to inform her if you come again. She’s coming over immediately, and she’s also bringing the people who will be testing the medicine with her.” Hua Moli said with a smile.

The owner of Wanbaolou wanted to see her, which was within Ye Liuyun's expectations. As long as her business with Wanbaolou grew bigger and bigger, they would definitely meet. She just didn't expect to meet so soon.

"Alright, may I ask how to address the head of your guild?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

However, just as Hua Moli was about to reveal the name of her master, the door to the appraisal room opened, and a sexy woman in a bright red dress strolled in.

"Hehe, no need to ask her, I'll answer myself. My name is Jin Xiangrui," the woman replied with a smile, pursing her bright red lips as she entered.

It seems this woman is the owner of Wanbaolou. But how should I put it? As soon as she entered, a very strong fragrance of cosmetics filled the air, but it was not the smell of ordinary rouge and powder.

It has a very strange smell.

The moment Lin Aoxue saw the other person, a single word immediately popped into her mind to describe him.

"Vixen." Lin Aoxue couldn't help but mutter to herself after looking at the woman in front of her.

The woman was dressed like a bride-to-be, though she wasn't wearing a bridal gown. Instead, she wore revealing clothes that flowed freely, and with every step she took, her two ivory-like legs were exposed. Moreover, her every word and action exuded charm.

Hua Moli was a very feminine female cultivator, but compared to the owner of Wanbaolou in front of her, she was not even close to being a level above him.

Jin Xiangrui's eyes were alluring, and her words and actions exuded countless charms. For most normal men, such a woman was no less than a poison to stimulate their desires.

"Wow? A stunningly beautiful woman has arrived!" Ye Liuyun stared, his eyes wide with amazement.

"Little girl, stop looking. If you keep looking, your eyes will pop out of their sockets. This woman is naturally seductive, unlike female cultivators like Hua Moli who practice seductive arts. Those with weak willpower might become her slaves." Lin Qingyou complained.

Whether it was due to the principle of same sex repulsion, Lin Qingyou and Lin Aoxue were quite disgusted with Jin Xiangrui after seeing her. As respectable women, they disliked women like Jin Xiangrui who liked to flaunt their looks and manipulate people's hearts.

"A natural charmer, tsk tsk, a real beauty," Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

But Lin Qingyou's next words made her roll her eyes.

"What? You want to become that kind of woman? I know of a pill that can transform a woman who takes it into a seductive body, guaranteeing that any man who sees you will become your male concubine, at your beck and call," Lin Qingyou said.

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun made Lin Qingyou choke.

"What are you talking about? Master, I like looking at beautiful women like this, and becoming a woman like that myself, isn't that the same thing?" Ye Liuyun immediately rolled her eyes.

However, these words also distracted her, bringing her back to dealing with Jin Xiangrui.

"Greetings, Master Ye. This is Jin Xiangrui, the Master of Wanbaolou. The business to come will be discussed between you and our Master. Miss, may we wait outside for a moment?" Hua Moli said to Lin Aoxue immediately after introducing Jin Xiangrui's identity.

But Lin Aoxue immediately refused.

"No, I must keep an eye on my young master," Lin Aoxue said in a deep voice.

Faced with Lin Aoxue's refusal, Hua Moli could only turn her attention to Ye Liuyun, hoping that he would allow Lin Aoxue to leave.

"Hehe, young lady, don't be so hostile. I just want to discuss business with your young master. Some of the business involves the secrets of our Wanbaolou and cannot be known by others," Jin Xiangrui said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then glanced at Lin Aoxue, meaning that Lin Aoxue should go first.

When Lin Aoxue saw Ye Liuyun's gaze, she returned the gaze to him.

"You want me to leave? This woman is very strong, probably no weaker than my master, and she's incredibly seductive. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle her," Lin Aoxue said.

"Don't worry, I know this woman has an unusual constitution, but I can handle her. Trust me," Ye Liuyun replied.

After exchanging glances for a while, Lin Aoxue reluctantly walked out.

Hua Moli also went out, leaving only three people in the appraisal room. The other person was a young female cultivator, who appeared to be a maid from Wanbaolou.

“Young Master Ye, let’s not waste any more time. This girl is the one I found to test the medicine. If it’s suitable, let her take your Spirit Breaking Pill,” Jin Xiangrui said with a smile.

This woman's smile is truly captivating. If Lin Qingyou weren't there, Ye Liuyun would have had a hard time resisting these guys' charm.

With a naturally alluring body and undoubtedly having cultivated some kind of seductive art, this woman was constantly launching mental attacks on men.

“Alright, the pills are on the table. This young lady can pour out one pill and take it. It should have an immediate effect, but breaking through to the next realm may take about ten minutes,” Ye Liuyun indicated.

Jin Xiangrui was puzzled when she saw Ye Liuyun speaking to her so calmly, because she rarely saw a member of the opposite sex speak to her so calmly.

However, she still instructed her maid to take the Spirit-Breaking Pill.

After receiving a signal from Jin Xiangrui, the maid immediately went over and took out a Spirit Breaking Pill, which she then consumed.

As soon as the pill entered her body, the maid immediately sensed its miraculous properties. She quickly sat down and began to break through her cultivation level. This maid was at the peak of the Spirit River Realm and had three attribute spiritual roots. With such talent, it would be very difficult to break through in one go.

As she began to break through her realm, Ye Liuyun's Spirit Breaking Pill began to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. A large amount of spiritual energy surged into the maid's body, and soon condensed into an incomparably sharp giant sword of spiritual energy in her sea of ​​consciousness. This giant sword pierced the gate to the Spirit Sea realm in one go, easily piercing a hole in the bottleneck of the Spirit Sea realm.

"This? It's been opened just like that?" The maid quickly opened her eyes with a look of surprise. The moment she opened her eyes, a vast amount of spiritual energy, like a sea, erupted from her body, which meant that she had entered the Spirit Sea Realm from the Spirit River Realm.

And it only took ten minutes, which is incredible.

Jin Xiangrui was quite surprised to see her maid break through her cultivation level.

"The effects of this pill are too strong! I deliberately found someone with poor aptitude to test it. It seems that this Spirit Breaking Pill really has the effect of breaking through realms. As for whether it is 100% effective, that's hard to say."

Jin Xiangrui's eyes trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

Chapter 198 Cooperation Achieved

This woman's control over her emotions and facial expressions is exceptionally strong, far surpassing that of Hua Moli.

"It seems the pills are indeed effective. Interesting, Young Master Ye. I am willing to offer 5000 spirit stones per pill to buy all the Spirit Breaking Pills you have." After confirming the pills' effectiveness, Jin Xiangrui did not waste any more time and directly quoted her price.

In other words, Ye Liuyun's one hundred Spirit Breaking Pills could be sold for at least 50 spirit stones so far, which shows that the value of these pills is indeed much higher than that of Spirit Explosion Pills. However, Ye Liuyun also knows that this is definitely not the final price offered by the other party.

Because Lin Qingyou had told Ye Liuyun that regular breakthrough pills, such as the Spirit Sea Breakthrough Pill for the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, are specifically used for breaking through from the Spirit River realm to the Spirit Sea realm, and can increase the breakthrough probability by 50%.

There's also the Spirit Essence Pill, which helps one break through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Spirit Pattern Realm, and can increase the chances of a breakthrough by 30%.

These pills would cost at least 50,000 spirit stones on the market, but Ye Liuyun's Breaking Spirit Pill is usable by all realms in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and has a 100% efficacy, so it would be reasonable for it to cost at least 100,000 spirit stones per pill.

It's good that Ye Liuyun isn't greedy, but we can't let the merchant make the lion's share of the profits. The other party definitely knows the value of this pill. If we buy it at a low price, we'll definitely sell it at a high price later. So Lin Qingyou's idea is that we must get 50% to 70% of the normal profit from this pill.

"Hehe, Master Jin, as far as I know, the Spirit Essence Pill used to break through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Spirit Pattern Realm costs at least 50,000 spirit stones per pill, right? My pills can be used by all realms in this Wheel Sea Secret Realm, and you're only giving me 5000 spirit stones per pill?" Ye Liuyun reminded Jin Xiangrui with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangrui knew that the person in front of her was not an ordinary alchemist, and was probably not a cultivator from a sect around the Six Yang Mountains. He might have come from a larger place, because high-grade pills like the Spirit Essence Pill were not commonly available in Silent City.

They don't sell their Wanbaolou properties casually; they only auction off a few at monthly auctions, and the prices are generally quite high.

Since Ye Liuyun directly stated the retail price of the pill in major cities, it would be difficult for her to negotiate a lower price.

However, Jin Xiangrui still had a way to deal with it.

“Young Master Ye, it is actually a certain risk for Wanbaolou to accept your pills. You should know that, in principle, I need to verify your alchemy qualifications. You need to show the alchemist certificate issued by your sect or alchemy organization before I can accept your pills. The cultivation world does not allow the circulation of pills of unknown origin.”

“Moreover, after we take your pills, we still need to obtain a pill certificate, which will cost our Alchemy Pavilion a lot of money. However, 5000 spirit stones is indeed too little for me. How about this, I can increase it by another 5000 spirit stones, making it 10,000 spirit stones per pill, to buy your Spirit Breaking Pills,” Jin Xiangrui said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun was stunned, because alchemists needed proof to sell pills, something she had never heard of before. She quickly asked Lin Qingyou about it.

Unfortunately, Lin Qingyou shook her head. She didn't know the rules of this era, but there were probably such rules.

As times have progressed, the rules of the cultivation world have become more and more comprehensive. Selling pills in small quantities is fine, but for someone like Ye Liuyun who sells pills in large quantities, the buyer has a reason to ask her to produce an alchemist certificate.

Ye Liuyun definitely has this alchemist certificate, which is a white-level alchemist certificate issued by the Yunxia Sect. However, this thing has the Yunxia Sect's mark, and once she takes it out, it is equivalent to telling Jin Xiangrui her identity.

Wanbaolou usually doesn't bother to check someone's identity unless it's necessary. Ye Liuyun's questioning just now forced her to use the rules to pressure Ye Liuyun.

Since there's no rule against suppressing Ye Liuyun, it will be difficult for her to acquire these pills at a low price. A merchant is a merchant; whether or not rules apply depends entirely on the value of the goods.

According to Jin Xiangrui's psychological valuation, Ye Liuyun's pills would be cheap even at 50,000 spirit stones, let alone 20,000 spirit stones.

Moreover, this is currently a negotiation phase. She actually wants to use this method to force Ye Liuyun to reveal his true identity or give up the high price. After all, one hundred Spirit Breaking Pills, each worth ten thousand spirit stones, would amount to a profit of one million.

However, if Ye Liuyun disagrees and wants a higher price, then Jin Xiangrui can use the rules to coerce Ye Liuyun. Of course, she has also considered that Ye Liuyun might choose to give up selling the pills, and she can choose to back down then, but she must keep the initiative in her own hands.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this rule. I'm curious, why didn't your auction house use the rule to lower the price when I sold the Exploding Spirit Pill before?" Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry. The business world is like a battlefield. The price war between the two of them had only just begun. They couldn't rush things, or they would lose.

When Jin Xiangrui saw Ye Liuyun asking this question, she first gestured for the maid to leave. After the maid left, Jin Xiangrui sat down and began to fight Ye Liuyun.

"That's because the Spirit Explosion Pills you sold before were priced within the range of ordinary large transactions, but these Spirit Breaking Pills are much more valuable. If Wanbaolou wants to sell them, we'll have to pay a higher price. After all, things of unknown origin are easy to cause trouble. If the Pill Pavilion finds out, Wanbaolou will inevitably be punished," Jin Xiangrui explained.

What kind of organization is this Dan Pavilion? It is the largest gathering of alchemists in the Tang Kingdom. This organization is somewhat similar to some official organizations on Earth, which specifically control the alchemy industry.

According to the rules of the cultivation world in Tang Kingdom, all alchemists are obligated to obey the management of the Pill Pavilion. They have branches in various places, and the nearest branch is in Yunhai City.

All alchemists within the Yunzong realm must register at the Dange branch. Of course, blue-level alchemists within the Yunzong realm have certain authority to issue alchemist certificates on behalf of the Dange branch.

Ye Liuyun's white-level alchemist certificate was issued by Yunxiao on behalf of the Pill Pavilion, and her information was also transmitted to the Pill Pavilion for registration by Yunxiao. However, to become a green-level alchemist, one must personally go to the Pill Pavilion to participate in the assessment. The major sects within the Yun Sect can only issue white-level alchemist certificates on behalf of others.

"You mean if I show my alchemist certificate, I can get the normal price for pills?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

“If you can show me your alchemist certificate, I can buy your pills for 30,000 spirit stones each. Although I don’t know how you refined them, your pills are a new type of pill, and we still need to register them with the Pill Pavilion before we can sell them,” Jin Xiangrui said.

Ye Liuyun was in a dilemma. If she revealed her identity, she would be asking for trouble, and she would probably never have a peaceful day again.

She was lost in thought.

"Alright, it seems I can't sell these pills today. I won't sell them then. I'll go talk to the shop managers of the four major sects. I believe they will be very interested in these pills and will be happy to help me conceal my identity." Ye Liuyun smiled calmly, then picked up his pills and prepared to leave.

Jin Xiangrui was stunned when she heard this.

Because Ye Liuyun's words were a direct checkmate, Jin Xiangrui did not expect Ye Liuyun's counterattack to be so sharp.

Indeed, given the effects of this elixir, if one were to negotiate a price with the shops of the four major sects, they would be happy to offer a reasonable price. As for Ye Liuyun's identity, that is not important to them, and they would certainly help Ye Liuyun conceal this matter.

Because this would not harm the four major sects, no one would bother to offend Ye Liuyun.

"Wait a minute." Jin Xiangrui quickly reached out and pressed down on Ye Liuyun's hand.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. She first looked at her hand, which was being held down by Jin Xiangrui, and then looked at Jin Xiangrui with a puzzled expression.

"What, Master Jin, does your Wanbaolou intend to force us to buy and sell?" Ye Liuyun asked unhappily.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Jin Xiangrui immediately withdrew her hand and smiled calmly.

“Young Master Ye, please don’t be so impatient. We’re still negotiating the price. Besides, I didn’t say you absolutely needed to show your alchemist certificate. I was just reminding you. How about this: if Young Master Ye is willing to cooperate with Wanbaolou and have Wanbaolou act as your agent for your pills, I can offer 50,000 spirit stones per pill to purchase them.” Jin Xiangrui offered a compromise.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's eyes flickered, and then she put down her medicine bottle; she had achieved her goal.

"Is this what a transaction should be like? No problem, I don't object to you acting as my agents to sell my pills, but there's one condition: you can't reveal any information about me," Ye Liuyun replied.

"Deal, but please don't break your promise, Young Master Ye. I know you've been hiding your identity, but your pills are so special. If you break your promise, I'll tell the Pill Pavilion that you're refining a new type of pill and not registering it. Then you'll have to bear the consequences." Jin Xiangrui made it clear from the outset.

Ye Liuyun wasn't that stupid. Why would a fool not make money when he could destroy his own Great Wall?

Thus, Ye Liuyun sold the hundred Spirit Breaking Pills for five million spirit stones, but she knew very well that Wanbaolou actually made a profit, and quite a lot of it.

However, there's no other way; since both sides are going to cooperate, they must each make concessions.

A moment later, having received five million spirit stones, Ye Liuyun said goodbye to Jin Xiangrui and got up to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave, Jin Xiangrui suddenly told Ye Liuyun something.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, our Wanbaolou will be holding an auction in a few days. I wonder if Young Master Ye would do us the honor of attending?" Jin Xiangrui asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the mention of the auction, Ye Liuyun suddenly seemed to remember something.

"An auction? I wonder if there are any cultivation manuals for secondary professions such as weapon crafting and formation at the auction?" Ye Liuyun asked quickly.
