After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 238 Reunion of old friends

Ye Xiaobai turned around and saw two fairies dressed in pale yellow dresses slowly walking towards his cave not far away.

The visitors were none other than Ye Xiaobai's old acquaintance, Li Xinyan, and the nine-tailed fox spirit Jinyi.

Li Xinyan walked with hesitant steps, only quickening her pace slightly under Jin Yi's urging.

"Xinyan, what are you doing? Go see that Ye Xiaobai. What are you afraid of? He used to call you 'senior sister'!"

"Jin Yi, you've heard, haven't you? He's already a Core Formation cultivator and a master alchemist, while I'm just a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"Don't be afraid. Asking him for help is doing him a favor. If he dares to refuse, I'll beat him up!" Jin Yi said, raising her little pink fist as if to hit someone.

Upon seeing this, Li Xinyan quickly grabbed Jin Yi's arm and advised, "Jin Yi, don't be impulsive. How could he be your match!"

Jin Yi chuckled mischievously, "What? I haven't even hit him yet, and you're already feeling sorry for him?"

"No, no, I was just afraid of hurting everyone's feelings!" Li Xinyan quickly waved her hand to deny it, but her face was already slightly red, as if her little thoughts had been guessed.

……

"Senior Sister, Jin Yi, it's been so many years. How have you been all these years?" Ye Xiaobai asked first.

"No good. When they needed us, they treated us to the best food and drink, but now that they don't need us anymore, they haven't even thought of coming to see us all these years!" Jin Yi said sarcastically.

"Jinyi, don't say that. Actually, we've been doing quite well these past few years!" Li Xinyan quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Why do you always side with him?" Jin Yi said with a disdainful look.

"Alright, Jin Yi, stop bullying my senior sister. It's rare for us to get together, come on, I'll take you guys out for a good meal!"

"Great!" Li Xinyan replied excitedly upon hearing that they were going to eat something delicious. Recently, Jin Yi had been advising Li Xinyan to control her appetite so as not to affect her future core formation, as she was preparing to reach the Core Formation stage. After all, cultivation emphasizes a pure and desireless mind.

"Eat, eat, all you do is eat! You've become a little fat pig, let's see who wants you then!" Jin Yi immediately teased.

"Haha, Jin Yi, don't scare your senior sister!"

"What? Ye Xiaobai, you like chubby pigs?"

"Jinyi, stop joking. You must have something important to discuss with me today, right?" Ye Xiaobai got straight to the point.

"Of course it's important. Your senior sister is about to form her core, and you, as a master alchemist, don't even know how to show your appreciation?" Jin Yi's sharp eyes were fixed on Ye Xiaobai.

"I see. Congratulations in advance on your successful Core Formation, Senior Sister! I will surely present you with top-quality pills in three days!"

"Junior brother, you're too kind!" Li Xinyan said with a smile.

"Oh, top-grade pills won't do. They have to be at least top-grade, or even perfect-grade!" Jin Yi quickly added.

"Jin Yi!" Li Xinyi tugged at Jin Yi's sleeve, signaling him not to go too far.

Jin Yi ignored Li Xinyan's meaning.

"Haha!" Ye Xiaobai laughed first, then added, "The pill I'm giving to my senior sister will definitely be a perfect-grade pill!"

"That's more like it!" Jin Yi said calmly.

"Hey, weren't you going to treat us to a nice meal? Let's go!" Jin Yi added.

"Jinyi, why were you unwilling just now?" Li Xinyan asked in confusion.

"This guy hasn't contacted us in so long, we finally have a chance to take advantage of him, shouldn't we?" Jin Yi said with a wicked grin.

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai could only give an awkward smile.

"By the way, how's Uncle Li's restaurant?"

"Everything is fine!"

"Speaking of which, you used to have a share of the profits from this restaurant. Over the years, it has accumulated quite a bit, and every year we want to send it to you, but we can't find anyone to do it!"

"Haha, I've been too busy all these years to visit the restaurant, so there's no reason for me to take my share of the profits. Consider it a reward for Uncle Li's hard work!"

"That's right, he's a master alchemist now, he's got plenty of money!" Jin Yi teased.

“How can this be? We agreed that you would get a share of the profits! It’s accumulated quite a bit over the years.” Li Xinyan was still willing to give up.

"That's almost a million low-grade spirit stones!"

"So many!" Ye Xiaobai and Jin Yi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, after all, the restaurant business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more markets within the White Tiger Sect's sphere of influence have franchised restaurants!"

"Uncle Li's management is truly excellent!"

"Thanks so much for your early franchise strategy."

"At the time, I only planned the market area near Baihu Mountain. I never expected you to grow your business to be so big!"

The three of them then went to Xiaoyao Restaurant for a big meal, which Ye Xiaobai paid for, of course.

The three of them ordered a huge amount of food, and the waiter was worried that they wouldn't be able to finish it all. However, Jin Yi had an amazing appetite and ate most of it.

Even so, Jin Yi was still not satisfied and wanted to order a few more dishes. Ye Xiaobai saw that it was getting late and he still had to go back to refine pills.

Only after Li Xinyan's strong persuasion did Jin Yi give up ordering any more food.

After the three parted ways, Ye Xiaobai returned to refine the Condensing Essence Pill.

During his years of seclusion, Ye Xiaobai not only improved his cultivation level, but also gained new insights into the alchemy methods of Cangwu.

I have some confidence in how to refine a perfect-grade Qi Condensation Pill.

Three days later, Ye Xiaobai successfully refined a perfect-grade Qi Condensation Pill.

Next, we will participate in the alchemy exchange conference.

The alchemy exchange conference was held in a venue next to the largest alchemy room on Lingdan Peak. It was usually an internal sharing session for the alchemists of Lingdan Peak.

Now the entire White Tiger Sect has heard that a master alchemist has emerged within the sect and is here to share his alchemy experience.

Disciples from many other peaks also flocked to Lingdan Peak, eager to hear this alchemy master share his unique alchemy experience.

Of course, there were also some people who just came to join in the fun and wanted to get to know this alchemy master.

As a result, the already small venue was not big enough to accommodate so many people.

Many people could only stand outside and look at this alchemy master from afar.

When Ye Xiaobai arrived at the venue, it was already packed with people.

Just as Ye Xiaobai was about to take a few steps inside, a young disciple stopped him and said irritably, "Senior brother, everyone is here to listen to the lecture, so there should be some order to things!"

"You're late, so please move to the outside!"

Ye Xiaobai was immediately embarrassed. He was the speaker, and if he arrived late, even the speaker wouldn't be able to get in.

"Junior brother, please make way. Actually, I am..." Ye Xiaobai thought it was getting late and didn't want to keep blocking the way outside and delay everyone's time.

"Who are you? No matter who you are, we're all here to listen to Master Ye share his experience! We can't expect you to give up your good seats just because you're late!"

"This is an alchemy exchange conference personally arranged by the Sect Master! Do you want to cause trouble?"

"But..." Ye Xiaobai still wanted to explain.

"No buts! Even if the peak master of Lingdan Peak came, he'd still have to obediently wait in line!" the boy said impatiently.

"Is that so?" a middle-aged cultivator asked dismissively.

Those around immediately recognized him as Xie Dongyun, the newly appointed peak master of Lingdan Peak.

"Greetings, Peak Master Xie!" The disciples of the Alchemy Peak around them hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

The once confident young man was now incredibly embarrassed. How could he be so unlucky? He had only said it casually, but it turned out that the peak master had actually come.

"Greetings, Peak Master Xie! I was just joking! This junior brother wanted to cut in line, so I was just making things up!"

"Fine, today's a good day, I can't be bothered with you!"

"I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky, but out of so many people, you had to stop the one person you shouldn't have stopped!"

"Your disciple was wrong!"

Xie Dongyun completely ignored the disciple and looked at Ye Xiaobai warmly, saying, "Junior Brother Ye, let's go, I'll take you inside!"

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother!" Ye Xiaobai then followed the peak master and successfully entered the venue.

Ye Xiaobai has been away for many years and doesn't recognize many of the disciples from Lingdan Peak, let alone the disciples from other peaks within the sect.

Xie Dongyun walked up to the high platform in the venue and said loudly, "Fellow disciples, as you all know, our sect has produced a master alchemist, and this person is an alchemist from our Spirit Pill Peak. The sect leader specially arranged this alchemy sharing conference to improve everyone's alchemy skills. Let's welcome Master Ye with warm applause!"

Then, thunderous applause rang out, and Ye Xiaobai slowly walked onto the stage to begin the alchemy experience sharing session.

The disciple who had previously stopped Ye Xiaobai finally understood what Xie Dongyun meant. He realized he had actually stopped Master Ye and immediately regretted it, vowing never to be so reckless again.

"But Master Ye is quite easy to talk to!" the disciple thought to himself.
