"The Clear Heart Pill is priced at 20 spirit stones. If you need it, come!"
"The Concealment Talisman is priced at 50 spirit stones. This is the only one!"
"The Apocalyptic Meteor Blade is priced at 100 spirit stones. It's a fair price!"
"Requesting a Rejuvenation Pill. The price is negotiable ~"
"Requesting…"
…
As soon as they approached the empty space, loud yells came from inside.
If he was not certain that he had transmigrated, Ye Xuan would have thought that he had arrived at the market in his previous life.
Fortunately, there were no mortals here. Otherwise, if outsiders knew that immortal cultivators actually looked like this, their jaws would probably drop.
"Most of these people have their own immortal-cultivation family clans like Fellow Cultivator Ye."
"Some of them are from other cities."
"If Fellow Cultivator Ye has any doubts about the items they're selling, you can ask our appraisers to appraise them for free."
"If Fellow Cultivator Ye needs anything, you can also bring it up. If there's any information on them, we'll inform fellow cultivator Ye immediately."
Ouyang Xiao said with a smile.
"I see. No wonder so many independent cultivators are willing to come here to participate."
Ye Xuan nodded.
By organizing this gathering of independent cultivators, all the independent cultivators would benefit.
On the other hand, the Ouyang Family Clan would be able to gain prestige and establish networking connections. It could be considered a win-win relationship.
"Coincidentally, I have some medicinal pills here that can be exchanged for some spirit stones."
Ye Xuan smiled and got ready to find a good stall.
"Pills?"
"Some??"
"Could it be that Fellow Cultivator Ye is also an alchemist!?"
Ouyang Xiao exclaimed on the spot.
"What, an alchemist?"
At this moment, the two of them had already arrived at the trading area. When the people around them heard their conversation, they all looked over.
"I guess so."
"I've studied alchemy for decades and can barely be considered a Grade-1 alchemist."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and added some drama to himself.
"What!"
"A Grade-1 alchemist!"
"Fellow Cultivator, can you refine a Rejuvenation Pill for me? I'll definitely reward you handsomely!"
"Fellow Cultivator! Can you refine a Beauty Retaining Pill for me? I'm willing to pay a high price to customize it…"
"My Fellow Cultivator!"
All the surrounding cultivators surrounded Ye Xuan in an instant.
This was a Grade-1 alchemist!
In the immortal cultivation world, ordinary alchemists were already extremely rare, let alone Grade-1 alchemists.
Especially in the Ten Thousand Flower City, there were less than ten Grade-1 alchemists. Moreover, most of them were only at the elementary and intermediate levels of proficiency. The success rate of refining medicinal pills was extremely low.
But even so, their status was still incomparably noble. They were hired with a high fee by the various major immortal-cultivation family clans and some huge chambers of commerce.
As independent cultivators, some of them had never even seen an alchemist before. Most of their pills were bought at a high price from large factions or sects. It was extremely not worth it.
And now.
A Grade-1 alchemist had appeared at this gathering of independent cultivators. How could they not be excited!
"Fellow Cultivator Ye, with your identity, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Ouyang Xiao was also dumbfounded on the spot and was even more vexed. He did not expect Ye Xuan to have such an identity.
Their Ouyang Clan only had one Advanced Grade-1 alchemist. However, he was already over a hundred years old and his birthday was approaching.
If they could pull Ye Xuan to the Ouyang Family in advance, it would definitely be extremely beneficial to the Ouyang Family.
But now, if Ye Xuan's identity as an alchemist was confirmed, it would definitely cause a scramble by the other two major immortal-cultivation family clans.
The rise of the Ouyang Family was relatively slow, and their foundation was shallow. They might not be able to compete with the other two family clans.
…
"Ahem, everyone, calm down."
"Fellow Cultivator Ye is new here, so there's no need for everyone to be so enthusiastic."
"Allow Fellow Cultivator Ye to finish speaking first."
With this thought in mind, Ouyang Xiao hurriedly released a weak wall of spiritual energy to stop the crowd.
"Hehe, everyone, don't be anxious."
"I'm Ye Xuan from the Ye Family. I've just entered the ranks of Grade-1 alchemists. I've refined some medicinal pills and am prepared to exchange them for some resources."
"I haven't considered customizing medicinal pills yet."
Ye Xuan quickly waved his hand and smiled.
He had guessed that alchemists were very popular, but he did not expect them to be so enthusiastic.
Although he could not tell the cultivation levels of these independent cultivators, he could still sense that these independent cultivators were basically all experts above Level 4 of the Qi Refinement Stage. There were even a few old men who might have reached Level 6 or Level 7 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
In the Ten Thousand Flower City, he was already considered an expert. Moreover, he was definitely on par with the patriarch of an immortal-cultivation family clan.
Ye Xuan did not expect such an old man to be so crazy over a pill.
"Ye Family? Could it be that Ye Family?"
"Could it be that you're the Ye Family Patriarch?"
"What! The Ye Family Patriarch?"
"That's impossible. Didn't they say that the Ye Family Patriarch values sex as much as his life? He's a lustful old demon. How could he be so young?"
"Damn, don't spout nonsense if you don't know. Fellow Cultivator Ye is an alchemist. How could he be that old demon from the Ye Family!"
"That's right, that's right. Fellow Cultivator Ye, this person is slandering you. I know him. It seems to be the Wu Family Patriarch. Fellow Cultivator Ye, you have to cut ties with the Wu Family in the future."
"Damn, you guys…"
…
For a moment, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar.
When Ouyang Xiao heard what everyone said, he was also a little embarrassed. He hurriedly wanted to stop them so as not to anger Ye Xuan.
"Everyone, stop talking…"
"I'm the Ye Family Patriarch you're talking about."
At this moment, Ye Xuan's face was extremely dark.
Damn.
No wonder he felt that the concubines he had recently taken in looked at him strangely.
Now he finally knew.
It turned out that there were dogs outside spreading rumors about him!
The butlers of the Ye Family might have been afraid that he would be angry, so they sealed the news.
He did not know the truth until he got here.
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, the scene instantly fell silent.
The atmosphere was exceptionally awkward.
Especially those who had bad-mouthed Ye Xuan just now. At this moment, they wished they could find a hole to hide in.
…
"Ahem, I knew it. Fellow Cultivator Ye is a cultivator. How could he be that kind of person!"
"Right, right, right. Someone must be jealous of Fellow Cultivator Ye's strong body, so they slandered Fellow Cultivator Ye!"
"Fellow Cultivator Ye is so young. What's the harm in taking in more concubines!"
"That's right, that's right. Does Fellow Cultivator Ye still need a concubine? I have a granddaughter…"
"Fellow Cultivator Ye, my great-granddaughter…"
"Fellow Cultivator Ye…"
There was silence for a few seconds.
The group of independent cultivators hurriedly chimed in. Initially, they wanted to ease the awkwardness, but gradually…
The topic was a little off…
"Ahem, everyone, don't misunderstand."
"This is my first time attending this gathering. I'm only here to sell some medicinal pills and find some fellow cultivators with similar goals to discuss cultivation."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and looked unmoved. In fact, he was already overjoyed.
This was the effect he wanted.
He did not care about the rumors at all. His only goal was to take in concubines.
Of course.
He could not appear too obvious or deliberate, nor could he appear too excited. Instead, he had to pretend to be more unfathomable.
When he returned this time, he only needed to get someone to release the news of him taking in concubines again, and that would definitely yield huge gains.
…
At this moment, two loud laughs came from behind.
"Haha!"
"I wonder what kind of medicinal pills Fellow Cultivator Ye is selling. If Fellow Cultivator Ye needs spirit stones, our Bai Family is willing to purchase all of your medicinal pills at a high price."
"So is our Jiang Family. Not only that, if Fellow Cultivator Ye is willing to join our Jiang Family, we're willing to support Fellow Cultivator Ye."
Hearing these two voices, the expressions of the other independent cultivators changed and they quickly made way.
When Ouyang Xiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his expression immediately turned ugly.
…
