After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 182 Songjiang City's Mystic Elixir Workshop

The alchemy task is over; the next step is to prepare the materials for the Five Elements Condensation Pill.

"Ye Xiaobai, how are you recovering?" Liu Rumei ran straight to Ye Xiaobai's room and shouted loudly.

"I'm all better now. I was just about to go out for a stroll. It's not easy to come to Yue Kingdom, so I'd love to experience the local customs and culture," Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Perfect timing! I was also planning to visit Miaodanfang in Songjiang City. Come with me!” Liu Rumei said in a commanding tone.

"Alright, let's go!" Ye Xiaobai was also planning to go to the market to look for spirit herbs, so naturally she had no reason to refuse. She had originally planned to have Sun Siyu show the two of them around Songjiang City, but her master had just recovered, so Sun Siyu had been busy taking care of her master lately.

For the time being, I simply don't have time to spend with Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei.

Speaking of Songjiang City, it is one of the three most famous cultivation cities in Yue Kingdom, and it belongs to the sphere of influence of Qingxia Sect.

The city is mostly inhabited by cultivators, but there are also some mortals who do the dirty and tiring work that cultivators are unwilling to do, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, and building houses.

By following those who cultivate immortality, one might obtain some elixirs or cultivation techniques, and with good luck, even have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

After leaving Qingxia Sect, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei flew on their swords and arrived at Songjiang City an hour later.

Looking at the city wall, which was about twenty meters high, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent and imposing presence of Songjiang.

Just as Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei were about to enter the city, the gatekeeper blocked their way and said indifferently, "The entrance fee is 12 spirit stones per person."

Ye Xiaobai didn't take a mere Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator seriously. However, since everyone else was following the rules, Ye Xiaobai obediently took out his spirit stones.

After paying the spirit stones, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei successfully entered Songjiang City.

As soon as you enter, you see various stalls lined up on both sides of the road.

The variety of items related to cultivation, such as elixirs, weapons, and talismans, is dazzling.

Just as Ye Xiaobai was looking around to see if there was anything useful, Liu Rumei said, "Stop looking, let's go to the Myriad Pill Workshop first!"

Soon, after passing through several streets, the two arrived at the location of Miaodanfang in Songjiang City.

Miaodanfang is located near the city center, and there are quite a few cultivators coming and going from its gates. Overall, its geographical location is quite good.

However, I had heard Liu Rumei mention before that the business of Miaodanfang had been consistently poor. The Alchemist Alliance headquarters had invested a lot of spirit stones, but there had been no improvement. They had originally intended to use this as a model to further develop Miaodanfang.

Their business expanded to other parts of the country.

As a result, he twisted his ankle on his first step in Yue. Therefore, he asked Liu Rumei to come and see what was wrong.

As soon as Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei entered, they saw that there was hardly any business in the store, and the two employees were drinking tea and chatting.

Upon seeing Ye Xiaobai and his companion, one of the older shop assistants gestured with his eyes to the younger one to serve them.

The young shop assistant stood up somewhat impatiently and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoists, what kind of pills would you like to buy?"

Seeing this lazy service attitude, Liu Rumei was immediately displeased and shouted loudly, "What are you buying? Call your manager over!"

"Who are you? Do you know where you are? This is the Myriad Pill Workshop of the Alchemist Alliance. Do you know the Alchemist Alliance?" Seeing Liu Rumei's extremely irritable attitude, the young shop assistant questioned her loudly.

Seeing that Liu Rumei had no reaction, the young shop assistant continued, "You don't know the Alchemist Alliance? You've heard of the Chief of the Imperial Clan in Songjiang City, right? He holds the position of Outer Elder of the Qingxia Sect and is in charge of the entire Songjiang City."

"Impressive, isn't it? Even such important figures often invite our manager to listen to operas at Tingyu Tower!"

“Never heard of it!” Liu Rumei said coldly.

"How come this person doesn't know anything! Yet he dares to cause trouble at Miaodanfang!" The young shop assistant was speechless. Was this what they meant by "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger"? He didn't know what fear was.

"Enough with the nonsense, where is your manager?" Liu Rumei didn't want to waste any more time and directly released the aura of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

The young shop assistant, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, was so frightened by the powerful pressure that he almost knelt down. The older shop assistant, who was a little further away, also felt the overwhelming aura and knew that this person was not to be trifled with.

He quickly stepped forward to support the young shop assistant so he wouldn't lose his footing, then looked at Liu Rumei with great anxiety and said, "The shopkeeper is in the courtyard behind the shop!"

After saying that, he pointed in a direction.

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Liu Rumei snorted coldly, then headed straight for the shop's courtyard.

In a short while, Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai arrived at the entrance of the courtyard behind the shop.

A courtyard of about twenty or thirty square meters came into view. Two medicine boys were drying newly harvested spiritual herbs in the sun not far away, while a slightly plump middle-aged cultivator was leisurely lying on a high-quality mahogany recliner.

While waving a paper fan, she hummed a little tune: "I'll beat you with a steel whip..."

They didn't even notice the arrival of Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei.

Even from a distance, Ye Xiaobai could smell the aroma of the fine spiritual tea on the table next to him.

This shopkeeper is really living a comfortable life! Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

“Wu Fugui, you really know how to enjoy yourself!” Liu Rumei said first.

Hearing someone call him by his name and interrupt his pleasant moment, Wu Fugui angrily stood up from the recliner, wanting to teach this person a lesson.

When Wu Fugui turned around and saw Liu Rumei clearly, his anger immediately turned to joy. His round face was filled with smiles, and his eyes were almost squinting into slits.

Then, she excitedly exclaimed, "Young Miss! What brings you to such a remote place?"

"Our shop is almost bankrupt, how could I not come and take a look?" Liu Rumei said helplessly.

"Miss, you flatter me. It's just a small loss. We'll earn spirit stones soon!" Wu Fugui quickly denied Liu Rumei's statement and tried his best to explain.

Seeing the unfamiliar face beside him, he quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. May I ask what your relationship is with the young lady?"

"He is Ye Xiaobai, one of the top three in this year's Alchemist Conference and the newly promoted Honorary Elder of the Alchemist Alliance!" Liu Rumei pointed to Ye Xiaobai beside her and introduced him casually.

"My goodness, it's Elder Ye! I've heard so much about you!" Wu Fugui excitedly greeted Ye Xiaobai.

Ye Xiaobai replied with a smile, "Manager Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Alright, now that we know each other, let's talk about the shop!" Liu Rumei didn't waste any words and went straight to asking about the shop's business.

"The current situation of the store is as follows..."

Afterwards, Wu Fugui led Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai to a quiet room and introduced the current operation of Miaodanfang.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai was also greatly shocked. Such a large shop had actually lost millions of spirit stones in just half a year! Liu Rumei was also furious and started to berate Wu Fugui.
