After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 184: End of the Yue Kingdom Trip, Return to the Sect

"With Fellow Daoist Sun's support, our Miaodanfang will definitely recover!" Wu Fugui said excitedly.

"Let's arrange it like this. I'll go to Qingxia Sect later to discuss the details with Sun Siyu!" Liu Rumei felt that the problem of Miaodanfang had finally been solved, but she didn't know how effective it would be.

"Can this really make me better?" Ye Xiaobai asked skeptically.

"Ye Xiaobai, what do you mean by that?" Liu Rumei asked, puzzled.

"We'll have to ask Manager Wu. Is there anything else you haven't asked?" Ye Xiaobai said, staring intently at Wu Fugui.

"I...this..." Wu Fugui's heart tightened immediately. Could it be that Ye Xiaobai had discovered something again? He would never confess on his own.

"Manager Wu, you're stammering. Is there something you're hiding from me?" Liu Rumei immediately sensed something was wrong and pressed him for an answer.

"Miss, that's not true, Elder Ye. Do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Wu Fugui asked innocently.

"Alright, since Manager Wu doesn't want to admit it, what's the story behind the claim that the quality of our Miaodanfang's pills is poor?" Ye Xiaobai directly asked about the quality of the pills.

"What kind of pills have quality problems?" This concerns the credibility of Miaodanfang, and Liu Rumei immediately became agitated upon hearing this.

"The problem with the quality of our pills must be slander from other companies in the industry, trying to make cultivators refuse to choose our Miao Dan Fang when buying pills!" Wu Fugui tried his best to defend himself, but at this moment he was extremely nervous, cold sweat was streaming down his forehead, and he was obviously very guilty.

"Oh, I see! Rivals among competitors, that saying is absolutely true!" Liu Rumei said with a hint of doubt.

Seeing that Wu Fugui still refused to admit that there was a problem with the pills, Ye Xiaobai had no choice but to inspect the quality of the pills on the spot in front of Liu Rumei.

"Since Manager Wu says there's nothing wrong with the pills, how about we check them on the spot?"

"This..." Wu Fugui was stunned. How could he check this? If he did, he was sure there would be a problem.

"What? Could there really be a problem with the pills?" Liu Rumei also sensed that something was off about Wu Fugui.

"No...nothing like that!" Wu Fugui said, his voice already lacking confidence.

Liu Rumei ignored Wu Fugui's explanation, went straight to the front desk, found a clerk, asked for several bottles of recently sold pills, and carefully examined them.

Sure enough, the quality of the pills was problematic; they were mostly substandard and of inferior quality.

Looking at those substandard pills, Liu Rumei roughly understood why the Miaodanfang in Songjiang City had lost so many spirit stones.

I spend so many spirit stones dealing with the market managers every day, and the quality of the pills I sell is inferior. How can I possibly earn spirit stones like this?

"Manager Wu, do you have anything else to explain?" Liu Rumei said angrily.

"This... I... could it be that the shop's employees have embezzled the qualified pills from the shop by selling inferior ones!" Wu Fugui racked his brains and came up with a lame excuse.

"Enough, Wu Fugui. I saw how hard you worked to come to Yue Kingdom and independently manage the Miaodan Workshop. I didn't expect you to be like this when you came to manage the Miaodan Workshop. Here's what I'll do. On behalf of the Alchemist Alliance headquarters, I'm dismissing you from your position as manager. You should explain the distribution of the spirit stones and pills in the Miaodan Workshop, and then leave!"

Liu Rumei decided to fire Wu Fugui directly, as the Miaodanfang would only lose more money under his management.

"Young Miss, please don't make me leave Miaodanfang! Give me a chance to make amends!" Wu Fugui didn't want to leave such an easy position as manager.

"I've given you so much time. Just give me your explanation and you can leave! Don't force me to take action!" Liu Rumei warned sternly.

Faced with Liu Rumei's strength at the mid-stage of Core Formation, Wu Fugui, who was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, naturally dared not say anything more and could only honestly confess everything.

He then lost a large sum of spirit stones to Miaodanfang and left in a sorry state, bidding farewell to his carefree days forever.

"From now on, I'll just have to hold on at Miaodanfang for a while. I plan to send a message to headquarters and have a new alchemist come to take charge of this place as soon as possible!" Liu Rumei said helplessly after dealing with everything.

"Then that's all right. I'll head back to the sect. I've been away for a while now, and I wonder how the sect is doing lately." Ye Xiaobai also shared his future plans.

"Are you really that heartless? You're not even planning to spend more time with me?" Liu Rumei complained directly.

"This..." Ye Xiaobai felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"By the way, do you have any Stone Dragon Flowers here? I'm just missing this kind of spiritual herb when I'm refining pills!" Ye Xiaobai suddenly remembered that he was missing a spiritual herb.

"You only thought of me because you were short of spirit herbs? This Stone Dragon Flower is a rare spirit herb for refining sixth-grade pills. You're already preparing to refine sixth-grade pills?" Liu Rumei asked in surprise.

"I'm just doing some research!" Ye Xiaobai naturally wouldn't mention that he wanted to refine the Five Elements Condensation Pill.

"Research? Unfortunately, I don't have any stone dragon flowers here!" Liu Rumei said with some doubt.

"Ah, this...right, weren't you going to contact the alchemist headquarters? To send an alchemist to take over the Miaodanfang in Songjiang City? Could you ask him to bring some stone dragon flowers?" Ye Xiaobai asked expectantly.

"Okay, it will probably take about ten days!" Liu Rumei estimated.

"No problem, I'll stay in Songjiang for a few more days without any problem!" Ye Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the problem with the stone dragon flower had been solved.

"That's perfect. You've got nothing to do in Songjiang City these past few days anyway, so you might as well help our Miaodan Workshop refine some pills. The spirit herbs will definitely come from here, and you won't be shortchanged on any spirit stones!" Liu Rumei said with a sly look on her face.

"No way? You want me to refine a ten-day pill?" Ye Xiaobai sensed something was wrong and cried out in alarm.

"No need. Although the pills at Miaodanfang are in short supply right now, with your alchemy skills, eight days' worth of pills will be enough for Miaodanfang to sell for a while!" Liu Rumei said seriously.

"I just wanted to buy some stone dragon flowers, and you want me to refine pills for eight days? Do you think I'm a puppet? Don't I need to rest?" Ye Xiaobai complained.

"It's okay, you can rest for four hours every day!"

"No!"

……

Ten days later.

The intense pill refining process, comparable to working 996, made Ye Xiaobai feel nauseous at the sight of pills. Fortunately, it was finally over.

Of course, there was another benefit: during this period of alchemy, through communication and learning with Liu Rumei, Ye Xiaobai's alchemy skills improved to a higher level, and he could officially be considered a fifth-grade alchemist.

The new alchemist from the Alchemist Alliance also brought the Stone Dragon Flower that Ye Xiaobai had been longing for. After obtaining the Stone Dragon Flower, Ye Xiaobai prepared to leave Songjiang City immediately.

"Remember to visit me at the Alchemist Alliance headquarters if you have the chance!" Liu Rumei said with a hint of reluctance as she looked at Ye Xiaobai who was about to leave.

"I remember!"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, thank you for your hard work in refining the Five Blessings Detoxification Pill. Please come to Yue Kingdom again next time you have time!" Sun Siyu said reluctantly, standing next to Liu Rumei.

"Definitely!"

Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai embarked on his journey back to his sect.
