Chapter 50

The manufacturer bought three thousand, and then resold them for ten thousand, making a net profit of seven thousand.

Isn't this middleman a bit too greedy?

Seeing Han Muye's unfriendly expression, Bai Suzhen approached with a smile.

"Senior Brother Han, they also work hard for their money. The market price for an Ultimate Cloud Qi Pill is only four to five thousand spirit stones per pill."

"Yuxia had an urgent need, so she paid a higher price."

"How about this, I won't make any profit on this one, I'll give it all to you, okay?"

Bai Suzhen, somewhat reluctantly, handed over a high-grade spirit stone to Han Muye.

Han Muye took the spirit stone without hesitation, put it in his pocket, and then said coldly, "Most people who buy Ultimate Pills have urgent needs, right?"

Bai Suzhen's smile froze, and she didn't respond.

Han Muye took out two small jade bottles and placed them directly on the counter.

"Let's split it, five thousand spirit stones per pill, and you cover all the material costs."

Five thousand, this price was almost doubled.

Bai Suzhen's face fell, and she was about to speak when Han Muye retracted his hand.

"Do you want it or not?"

"If not, I'll take it away, and our agreement is off."

He turned to leave the Suzhen Building.

"I want it, I want it, I want it—" Bai Suzhen grabbed his arm, her eyes full of pleading.

"Senior Brother, I want..."

"Fine, as you wish, okay?"

...

A quarter of an hour later, Han Muye left the Suzhen Building satisfied, with eleven high-grade spirit stones in his pocket.

He also asked Bai Suzhen to keep an eye out and gather information on which sects were attending the Nine Profound Sword Sect's gathering, and to watch for any sects with ill intentions toward the Nine Profound Sword Sect.

This made Bai Suzhen comment that he was worrying about the sect's elders.

Han Muye didn't want to stay at the Suzhen Building for too long, so he took the spirit stones and left.

The weight in his pocket was reassuring, but he was considering whether he should get a storage ring like Bai Suzhen's.

These things weren't cheap, so maybe he should try to get Bai Suzhen's?

"Are you the Senior Brother Han from the Sword Pavilion?"

Han Muye looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a female cultivator standing in front of him.

Jin Yuan.

The one who initially said he wouldn't live past seven days.

To be honest, Han Muye felt he owed his survival to Jin Yuan's warning.

"Ah, it's Fairy Jin Yuan."

Han Muye bowed.

"You, didn't die... No, did you solve your lifespan issue?" Jin Yuan looked at Han Muye, speaking softly.

Not dead, quite a surprise?

"Cough, cough, thank you for your concern, Fairy. My lifespan issue is temporarily resolved." Han Muye said.

If he couldn't balance his physical body and sword intent, his lifespan would still be a problem.

But for now, he could hold on.

Jin Yuan nodded and said softly, "That's good. For your lifespan issue, Senior Sister Mu Wan has been quite worried."

Mu Wan.

Han Muye hurriedly asked, "Fairy, do you know which sect Senior Sister Mu Wan went to, and why she went there?"

It's not uncommon for cultivators to change sects, but it's not frequent.

Even if a dan dao cultivator like Mu Wan doesn't care about being valued in a sect, she wouldn't change sects without reason.

"Didn't you know?" Jin Yuan frowned, then said softly, "The Mu family is a dan dao family, and Senior Sister Mu Wan's direct ancestor is a powerful alchemist who can refine sixth-grade pills."

"Mu family members can cultivate in various sects without much restriction."

Sixth-grade pills!

Han Muye, who knew a bit about dan dao, naturally understood how valuable sixth-grade pills were.

A single sixth-grade pill is highly valued even by Heavenly Realm cultivators.

An alchemist who can refine sixth-grade pills has a status equivalent to a Heavenly Realm cultivator.

No wonder Mu family members can cultivate freely in various sects.

Which sect wouldn't give face to the Mu family's ancestor?

Thinking of Huang Laoliu's previous matchmaking, Han Muye felt a chill.

The Mu family's ancestor is so powerful, what a big leg to cling to!

Mu Wan, such a good girl, how did he miss her...

Jin Yuan stopped talking, passed by Han Muye, and walked straight ahead.

After a few steps, she suddenly turned and said, "Senior Brother Han, my master will be curious about how you solved your lifespan issue. If you have time, you can visit my Waterfront Residence."

Waterfront Residence, Elder Suliang.

Han Muye nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Fairy. I will definitely visit when I have time."

Elder Suliang is the only one in the Nine Profound Sword Sect who can refine lifespan-increasing pills, so it would be useful to build a relationship with her.

Leaving the trading market, Han Muye headed straight for the inner sect.

In the Nine Profound Sword Sect, he didn't know many people.

Currently, the highest-ranking person he knew was Tuoba Cheng from the Three Stones Pavilion.

As for the Sword Pavilion elders, they rarely came down from the third floor, so how could they manage sect affairs?

At the Three Stones Pavilion, Zhao Pu wasn't there, so he directly requested to see Tuoba Cheng.

Climbing the wooden building, the tall Tuoba Cheng laughed, "Little Han, is it that your Sword Pavilion is too idle, and you can't stand it?"

"Back then, we were all working hard, but you, Elder Gao, were always complaining about being bored."

The Sword Pavilion's duties were idle, but not without work.

At least Han Muye was willing to polish his sword and cultivate sword qi every day.

"Uncle, I came to report something."

Han Muye bowed and then told the story he had fabricated.

He said that during his last trip out of the sect with Mo Yuan, they encountered disciples of the Great Spirit Sword Sect ambushing them at the Mo family, and an old ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect came to their rescue.

In the process, they overheard the Great Spirit Sword Sect saying they had already turned several sects.

"I didn't hear clearly at the time, but I remember the name of the Suyang Sect."

"By the way, I think their sect leader is named Liu Lishen."

Han Muye adapted the information he got from Qin Yuanhe's sword and then told the story.

"Liu Lishen? The sect leader of the Suyang Sect is indeed him." Tuoba Cheng frowned, and his eyes flashed with a deep, piercing light.

"Those small sects, which used to rely on our Nine Profound Sword Sect, we didn't act against them because they were obedient."

"If they really have other intentions, we will destroy them."

Tuoba Cheng's words lacked any killing intent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Uncle, yesterday in the outer sect, I heard that our Nine Profound Sword Sect is gathering surrounding sects."

"The Suyang Sect also sent someone to the Nine Profound Mountain."

Han Muye spoke softly.

"Sent someone to the Nine Profound Mountain?" A hard-to-describe power rose from Tuoba Cheng.

"Good, I know about this."

He waved his hand and said calmly.

Han Muye bowed and turned to leave.

Done.

As long as Tuoba Cheng or the sect itself acted, directly destroying the Suyang Sect would surely serve as a warning.

Other attending sects would surely not dare to act rashly.

This way, the matter would pass, and Huang Laoliu's secret admirer would not be harmed on the Nine Profound Mountain.

As for the future, that's for the future to decide.

After a long detour, Han Muye returned to the Sword Pavilion in the late afternoon.

Just as he reached the Sword Pavilion gate, Lu Gao came up to him.

"Senior Brother Han, a few inner and outer sect brothers came to bid you farewell, but you weren't there, so they left."

Bidding farewell?

It seems Zhao Youzhi and Jiang Han have left the sect to complete the mission to suppress the Three Qin Sword Sect.

"They are on a mission to suppress the Three Qin Sword Sect, and the leader is Elder Su Yuan."

"Apparently, the Fireline Sect has sent a large number of experts to avenge the thirteen fallen disciples from last time."

Lu Gao shared all the information he had gathered.
