Chapter 305: The sudden wealth of elixirs
The three of them walked out of the secret room. It was already late at night. The moonlight shone on the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, casting a silvery white shadow.
"It's getting late. I'll take you back." Chen Yu took out a pack of biscuits. "These are 'lightweight biscuits'. Eating them will make us fly faster."
Lin Qingxue took the biscuit and took a bite, and her body suddenly felt much lighter.
Liu Ruyan also ate a piece and was surprised to find that she could fly in the air without using any spiritual power.
"How do you make these snacks?" Liu Ruyan asked while flying.
Chen Yu smiled mysteriously: "This is a unique secret recipe, but..."
Before he could finish his words, a sudden commotion erupted in the distance. The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw a number of monks gathered outside the mountain gate, each holding a pearl in their hands, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
"They are from Dan Pavilion!" Lin Qingxue recognized several of the monks wearing purple robes.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a purple gold gourd hanging around his waist.
This man's name is Zhong Wuji, one of the elders of Dan Pavilion, and he is famous for refining fire-attribute elixirs.
"Someone is refining a special elixir here!" Zhong Wuji exclaimed, "I sense an unusual elixir energy."
Chen Yu was startled, thinking to himself, "Oh no!" He thought, "I'm afraid something must have leaked out when we were sharing snacks in the secret room."
"What should we do?" Liu Ruyan asked in a low voice.
Chen Yu took out a bag of potato chips from his cloth bag and said, "Eat these 'invisible potato chips' first, then we'll go around to the back mountain."
The three were about to turn around when Zhong Wuji spotted them: "Stop!
Who are you?
"It's over." Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "We've been discovered."
Chen Yu was not in a hurry. He took out a bag of candy from his cloth bag and said, "Eat this 'courage candy' and talk to me later."
Just as the three of them finished eating the candy, Zhong Wuji and his men flew over.
He looked up and down at Chen Yu and the other two, and his gaze finally fell on Chen Yu's cloth bag.
"My friend, I sensed an unusual Dan Qi from your cloth bag."
Zhong Wuji stroked his beard and said, "I wonder what kind of elixir it is?"
Chen Yu pretended to be surprised: "It turns out to be Elder Zhong. These are not pills, but just some ordinary snacks."
"Snacks?" Zhong Wuji frowned. "How can ordinary snacks have such a strong Dan Qi?"
Chen Yu took out a pack of biscuits from his cloth bag and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Zhong Wuji took the biscuit and was about to put it in his mouth when a thin old man next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Wait!
Let me try the poison first."
The old man's name is Yao Wuchen. He is the alchemy master of Dan Pavilion and is responsible for identifying elixirs.
He took the cookie, examined it carefully, and then took a cautious bite.
"Huh?" Yao Wuchen's eyes lit up, "This... this is the smell of hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum!
And... and ambergris?"
Zhong Wuji snatched the biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened: "Good stuff!
This isn't some kind of snack, it's clearly a top-grade elixir!"
Upon hearing this, the monks around gathered around and started discussing it.
"My friend, do you know how to refine this medicine?" Zhong Wuji asked eagerly.
Chen Yu shook his head: "This is a secret recipe, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Then I wonder if you'd be willing to sell some?" Zhong Wuji took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag. "These spirit stones..."
"Wait a minute." A crisp voice interrupted him.
Everyone looked back and saw a woman in a green dress walking slowly towards them.
She has a pretty face, elegant manners, and a green jade gourd hanging around her waist.
"It's Shen Qingzhu from Dan Pavilion!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Shen Qingzhu walked up to Chen Yu and smiled, "Our Dan Pavilion wants this young master's elixir.
I wonder how much the young master wants?"
Chen Yu looked at Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan, and both women nodded.
He turned to Shen Qingzhu and quoted a sky-high price: "A pack of biscuits, one thousand spirit stones."
The surrounding cultivators gasped. One thousand spirit stones was enough to buy a top-grade magic weapon.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingzhu agreed without even thinking: "Okay, I want them all."
"You want them all?" Chen Yu blinked. "I have quite a few here."
He opened the bag and pulled out a bunch of beautifully packaged snacks. There were chips that boosted spiritual power, jellies that calmed the mind, candies that boosted cultivation... Each one exuded a rich elixir of energy.
Shen Qingzhu's eyes lit up: "Are these all pills?"
"No, these are snacks." Chen Yu corrected, "They just have some special ingredients added."
"That's even better." Shen Qingzhu took out a brocade bag from his storage bag. "Here are 100,000 spirit stones. Should that be enough?"
Chen Yu took the brocade bag, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
He divided the snacks in the cloth bag into several piles, each pile was labeled with its efficacy and method of consumption.
"Wait." Yao Wuchen suddenly said, "These snacks...pills, do they have any side effects?"
"Don't worry." Chen Yu took out a bag of potato chips and handed it to him, "I guarantee it's non-toxic and harmless, and it tastes good."
Yao Wuchen took the potato chips, tasted it carefully, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This... this is the taste of Xuantian Fruit and Purple Ganoderma Lucidum!
It also contains ambergris and phoenix blood!"
"What?" Zhong Wuji snatched the potato chips. "These are all precious ingredients for alchemy!"
Chen Yu smiled but said nothing. These potato chips did contain some precious ingredients, but he bought them from the system mall.
The prices in the system mall are much cheaper than those outside, and the quality is guaranteed.
At this moment, a man in a black robe squeezed into the crowd: "Wait a minute!"
"It's Zhao Wuji from the Demonic Pill Sect!" someone exclaimed.
Zhao Wuji walked up to Chen Yu with a gloomy face and said, "For these pills, my Demon Pill Sect will pay double the price!"
"No." Shen Qingzhu stood in front of Chen Yu, "Our Dan Pavilion has already bought these pills."
"Haha." Zhao Wuji sneered, "A mere Dan Pavilion is worthy of competing with my Demonic Pill Sect?"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Chen Yu quickly took out two bags of potato chips: "Don't worry, I have more here."
"Really?" Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up.
Chen Yu nodded: "But the price will be doubled."
"No problem!" Zhao Wuji agreed readily.
In this way, Chen Yu's snacks triggered a buying frenzy between the two major forces.
People from other sects also joined the bidding, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue stepped forward to take charge of the situation and said, "Everyone, please be patient.
How about this, I'll be in charge of registering the orders and shipping them out on a first-come, first-served basis."
Liu Ruyan also helped maintain order: "Everyone line up, make sure everyone gets a share."
Chen Yu was sitting at the side, leisurely counting the spirit stones. He felt very happy when he saw the bags of spirit stones piled up in front of him.
These spirit stones are enough for him to buy a lot of good things in the system mall.
"Oh right." Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and took out two bags of special candies from his bag. "This is a reward for you."
"Again?" Liu Ruyan curled her lips, but still took it.
Lin Qingxue also took the candy and said softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Chen Yu said with a smile, "This is a specially made 'Dual Cultivation Candy' that can enhance the effects of our previous research."
"Research?" Zhao Wuji pricked up his ears. "What research?"
"Ahem." Chen Yu quickly changed the subject. "The snacks, no, the pills you requested, will be shipped tomorrow."
Everyone then turned their attention back to the transaction. Lin Qingxue took out an account book and carefully recorded everyone's order.
Liu Ruyan was checking the authenticity of the spirit stone.
After working for most of the night, he finally finished registering all the orders. Chen Yu looked at the pile of spirit stones and stretched out contentedly.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Chen Yu said to the two women.
"Wait." Shen Qingzhu stopped them, "Would you like to join our Dan Pavilion?"
"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Yu shook his head. "I like freedom and don't want to be bound by rules."
"Then can you at least tell us the formula?" Yao Wuchen asked expectantly.
Chen Yu smiled mysteriously: "This is a unique secret recipe, which cannot be passed on to others for the time being.
But if there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate."
After saying this, he took off into the air with the two women and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the three people going away, Shen Qingzhu thought: "This young man is not simple."
Returning to his residence, Chen Yu divided the spirit stones into three parts: "This is your share."
"We didn't help much." Lin Qingxue declined.
"Of course not?" Chen Yu said with a smile, "If it weren't for your help, how could I have sold it at such a good price?
Besides..."
He moved closer to the two women and lowered his voice: "Don't we have to continue the research tomorrow?
These spirit stones will be considered as research funds."
"Again?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, but still put the spirit stone away.
Lin Qingxue didn't refuse anymore and silently accepted the spirit stone. She knew that Chen Yu was trying to help her suppress the evil spirit in her body, and she couldn't help but feel touched.
