Chapter 58

Senior Brother Song, no! Be careful, this person harbors evil intentions and has poisoned it inside!

Kid, do you know Song Yun, Senior Brother's identity? If anything happens to him, the Song clan will exterminate your whole family!

Song Yun raised his hand to signal them to be silent; seeing Ye Fan's expression unchanged, with no guilt or malice in his eyes, he then said to everyone:

Junior brothers and sisters, rest assured, I am after all a registered alchemist; there is no poison in the porcelain vial.

But after drinking it, this junior brother will likely be taken away to the Discipline Hall.

More and more onlookers gathered, even some outer-sect stewards and elders came to watch the spectacle.

Ye Fan remained composed, watching as Song Yun drank the cola in the small porcelain vial in one gulp.

This small porcelain vial was originally meant for holding medicinal pills; Ye Fan only dropped a single drop into each vial, so even after drinking it all he only got a hint on his tongue.

But that single drop of cola was like immortal brew, letting Song Yun taste a flavor he would never forget in his life.

Sweet? No, there's a slight numbness on the tongue, maybe a bit bitter and astringent? Not quite……

Just as Song Yun was still savoring the flavor of that drop of cola, suddenly he felt spiritual energy surging within his body—a sensation he knew very well!

It's truly spiritual water! And a single drop contains such pure and rich spiritual energy!

Song Yun cried out in shock, forgetting all decorum, and stepped forward to grab Ye Fan's shoulder excitedly.

Junior brother, your spiritual water—oh, I mean cola—I want it all; name your price!

Only after Song Yun, in one breath, seized the initiative and demanded all the cola did everyone finally react, shocked and regretful.

Really spiritual water? Why can't I feel any spiritual energy fluctuation?

I've heard that some extremely rare spiritual waters restrain their aura on their own to avoid detection by demonic beasts.

Senior Brother Song wouldn't lie, and just now his whole body definitely burst with spiritual energy; Ye Fan is just a newly inducted menial disciple—how could he have spiritual water?

Senior Brother Song, could you bear to part with one bottle?

I want some too, as I'm about to break through; with spiritual energy assistance it would surely solidify my foundation—Junior Brother Ye, could you ask if you still have any cola?

In an instant, everyone in the market swarmed over; the stall-holding disciples abandoned their wares, jostling to get a glimpse of the cola.

Ye Fan puffed out his chest, looking satisfied at all this.

Senior Brother Song is a connoisseur; the thing the immortal sister gave him certainly isn't mundane.

However, he didn't get carried away, but instead said to Song Yun:

I want nothing else but high-quality Opening Aperture Pills; if you want cola, you must trade Opening Aperture Pills for it.

Of course, Senior Brother Song has already consumed a bottle of cola just now; that debt must be settled as well.

Upon hearing this, Song Yun almost laughed to the heavens—truly heaven's aid! The Song clan is an Alchemy Aristocratic Family; Opening Aperture Pills, an entry-level medicinal pill, he can have as many as he wants!

Deal! I'll immediately send word to the family, having the elders send over the high-quality Opening Aperture Pills you want right away!

Hearing that, Ye Fan furrowed his brows—have them send it from home? But the immortal sister is still waiting!

No, I can't wait; there are still people on the spot who have high-quality Opening Aperture Pills and can come trade.

Hearing this, Song Yun panicked, fumbling in his storage bag for pills.

Junior brother, wait a moment—I still have plenty of high-quality pills here; if you don't mind, I'll give them all to you, but please be sure to leave the remaining seven bottles of cola for me!

Ye Fan had wanted to refuse, but the pills Senior Brother Song gave were all consumable by mortals—had he guessed something, or was he desperately grabbing anything in a panic?

Ye Fan didn't dare decide on his own, so he went to consult the immortal sister.

Lin Meng had been waiting there, almost falling asleep, but upon hearing Ye Fan's report she immediately became excited.

Agree to him—refusing free pills would be foolish; selling cola to anyone is the same, and I'm not in a rush for these three or five days.

Ye Fan nodded, then agreed to Song Yun's proposal.

Those disciples who had been trying to gather Opening Aperture Pills instantly lost morale.

Opening Aperture Pills, an entry-level pill even mortals can take, are useless to them, so naturally no one has any; moreover, they can't afford to offend Senior Brother Song and his ilk.

It's just a pity about this cola—even a disciple of Song Yun's stature is this excited, showing how precious it is.

After the crowd dispersed, Ye Fan brought the cola and pills back to his cave dwelling, immediately storing all the pills in his space.

Immortal sister, Senior Brother Song was fairly generous; he gave a total of six bottles of pills, but they are all entry-level pills for mortals.

Lin Meng was overjoyed—exactly what she wanted, pills that mortals can eat!

She steadied her mind, entered the space, and picked up each pill bottle to examine them.

In the six bottles, each held only two or three pills, but to her this deal was a huge profit.

Song Yun was thoughtful, too—he had attached special labels to the pill bottles, making the type of pill instantly clear.

Among them, she understood the Longevity Pill—it's used to increase lifespan!

There's also the Youth-Preserving Pill, easy to understand—it's for beauty, three in total; Lin Meng plans to take one herself first.

Lin Meng had been thinking to ask Ye Fan about the specific effects of these pills, but Ye Fan was thoughtful and had already spoken up.

Immortal sister, I don't know if your realm is the same as our Tian Gang Continent; let me introduce it for you.

Return Spring Pill is used for treating external injuries, it promotes flesh growth and stops bleeding; the Longevity Pill naturally increases lifespan; the pills Senior Brother Song gave are all of extremely high quality, with little toxin and good effect—this one Longevity Pill can roughly add ten years of lifespan.

Ten years! Upon hearing that, Lin Meng almost jumped up.

Ten years for an ordinary person—what concept is that? It's heaven-defying!

Lin Meng looked and saw, unfortunately there are only two Longevity Pills.

Some pills are effective only on the first dose; the second does nothing—this Longevity Pill is like that, but given the immortal sister's cultivation, her lifespan is already a thousand years.

Cultivators seek immortality; an entry-level Longevity Pill, even a lowly Qi Refining cultivator like him who just set foot on the immortal path would scorn it—only mortals regard it as a divine pill.

Ye Fan muttered to himself; Lin Meng broke into a sweat—if she could really live a thousand years, she'd wake up laughing even in her dreams.

What about the remaining three kinds of pills? Lin Meng asked.

Ye Fan then proceeded to detail the effects of the remaining pills, finally saying:

Immortal sister, I'll keep an eye on Song Yun's side—he seems to be a disciple of the Alchemy Aristocratic Family, and the quality of these pills is quite good.

Lin Meng nodded slightly, "This Song Yun can be befriended; more friends, more paths."

Ye Fan earnestly agreed; he also felt that Senior Brother Song Yun was not bad, at least a reasonable person.

Lin Meng brought out six bottles of pills from the space, unable to wait, she stuffed a Beauty-preserving Pill into her mouth.

Everyone loves beauty; she is no exception.

After about half an incense stick's time, Lin Meng felt something off with her face and body; a glance in the mirror revealed—good heavens, she had actually shed her skin!
