Chapter 89

In the hall, the two met and were delighted to see each other again.

Rong Kexiong got straight to the point, taking out a thousand first-grade special talismans and said, "Brother Ye, this time I don't want to exchange for spirit coins or blank talismans." He paused for a moment and said without hesitation, "I want some Chiyang Pills and Xuanyang Pills."

Ye Jianhao laughed and said, "That's easy. When we meet next time, I'll bring them for you." He looked at Rong Kexiong with a smile and said, "However, I have a suggestion, brother, please consider it."

Rong Kexiong was taken aback and said, "Brother Ye, please speak."

Ye Jianhao put away his smile and said, "Brother, pills are indeed good things that can greatly shorten people's cultivation time. But among cultivators, there's a saying: 'All medicines are three-tenths poisonous.'"

Rong Kexiong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Ye, does cultivating with pills have unpredictable consequences?"

Ye Jianhao laughed bitterly and said, "I can't say for sure, but according to what I know, all martial artists and spirit practitioners who rely on swallowing pills to advance, when they try to break through major realms, the obstacles they face are much greater than those who cultivate through hard work." He looked deeply at Rong Kexiong and said, "Swallowing a small amount of pills is fine, but if you swallow a large amount and give up hard cultivation, then... when you want to advance to Martial Master or even Innate, it will be as difficult as climbing to the heavens."

Rong Kexiong's expression changed slightly; he indeed knew nothing about this.

Ye Jianhao thought for a moment and said, "In addition, pills cannot be swallowed in large quantities in a short time, because digesting pills also takes time. If the number of pills swallowed exceeds the limit that can be digested, the lighter cases will be poisoned, and the more serious cases will die from internal explosions." His expression was extremely serious, and he said, "Brother, be careful."

Rong Kexiong nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for your guidance."

Ye Jianhao laughed and said, "I can only teach you what I know. As for how much you can grasp, it's up to you."

Rong Kexiong responded, "Yes, I understand." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Ye, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"There's no need to be polite among brothers," Ye Jianhao said frankly. "What is it? Please speak."

Rong Kexiong's face turned slightly red, and he said, "I have a friend whose birthday is on the 15th of next month, and I want to give her a special and valuable gift."

Ye Jianhao was taken aback and laughed, "Brother, you can't find a suitable gift, right? Hehe, is your friend male or female, and how old is she?"

Rong Kexiong's face turned even redder, and he coughed lightly, "She's my senior sister, not much older than me."

Ye Jianhao said "Oh" and looked at Rong Kexiong with a teasing expression.

"Brother Ye," Rong Kexiong slightly emphasized, sounding a bit dissatisfied.

Ye Jianhao burst out laughing and said, "Alright, I'll take care of this small matter." He took on a very responsible tone, "The gift for your future sister-in-law should be grand."

Rong Kexiong shook his head repeatedly, unable to stop laughing bitterly. Although he denied it verbally, he felt a stirring in his heart.

If his senior sister really could become his wife, then...

Shaking his head, Rong Kexiong dismissed this unrealistic fantasy.

After seeing Ye Jianhao off, Rong Kexiong returned to his room and saw a slender and graceful figure lying on the table, seemingly asleep from fatigue.

Rong Kexiong was slightly taken aback and said in surprise, "Duo Duo, how did you get here?"

Qi Duoduo opened her eyes, looking unhappy.

Rong Kexiong puffed out his chest and said, "Duo Duo, who has offended you? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."

Qi Duoduo huffed and said, "Who else, it's you."

Rong Kexiong was stunned for a while, scratching his head, but he couldn't think of where he had offended her.

"Duo Duo, I swear, I haven't done anything to offend you."

Qi Duoduo's face turned slightly red, and she glared at Rong Kexiong, both embarrassed and angry, "Brother, why haven't you played with me these past few days?"

Rong Kexiong finally understood what she was complaining about and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Duo Duo, I'm very busy." He counted on his fingers, "I need to cultivate true qi, cultivate spirit power, and make talismans to earn money."

Qi Duoduo tilted her head and asked, "What do you need spirit coins for?"

Rong Kexiong said, "Spirit coins have many uses, and they can buy pills to help me quickly improve my strength."

Qi Duoduo's eyes lit up, and she said, "Brother, I can refine pills for you."

"Ah," Rong Kexiong glanced at her, then remembered her identity as an alchemist. However, anyone who saw her age would naturally overlook this identity.

"Hehe, Duo Duo, I need pills for Warrior-stage cultivators, Chiyang and Xuanyang Pills. Can you do it?"

Qi Duoduo huffed and said, "These are the most basic types of pills. If I can't refine them, how could I call myself an alchemist?"

Seeing her confident expression, Rong Kexiong, though a bit skeptical, nodded repeatedly, not wanting to upset her.

If she really could refine them, it would be a win-win situation, but even if she failed, he wouldn't blame her. After all, he was quite well-off now, and a little waste wouldn't matter.

He patted her head and said, "Alright, I need to continue making talismans."

Qi Duoduo's eyes darted around, seemingly not understanding the hint to leave. She pouted, looking pitiful, and said, "Brother, I've never seen a Spirit Gatherer make a Spirit Fighter Talisman before."

Rong Kexiong was taken aback and laughed, "That's easy, I'll make one for you to see."

Qi Duoduo nodded excitedly, her eyes becoming crescent-shaped.

Rong Kexiong sat down cross-legged, first taking out a blank talisman and slowly spreading it out.

Then, he focused his eyes and pointed forward lightly. A large amount of spirit power in his dantian began to boil, and about one-third of it turned into a cold light, shooting forward.

In the next moment, with this cold light as the center, a large amount of heaven and earth spirit power began to gather. Almost in the blink of an eye, a human-shaped spirit body appeared.

Rong Kexiong lightly shouted, and the blank talisman in his hand trembled slightly. The special energy of the talisman was immediately activated, and the entire talisman lit up, with every line filled with a mysterious and peculiar luster.

In the next moment, countless rays of light were emitted from the talisman, tightly wrapping around the spirit fighter.

The spirit fighter remained motionless, not resisting the pull of the light.

"Whoosh"

With a light sound, the spirit fighter was pulled into the talisman.

Rong Kexiong pressed the talisman closed and said with a smile, "Duo Duo, this is the process of making a talisman, it's very simple."

Qi Duoduo tilted her head, her face showing a hint of confusion.

After a while, she said, "Brother, why is the spirit fighter you summoned a first-grade special one?"

Rong Kexiong was taken aback and said, "Why can't it be a first-grade special one?"

Qi Duoduo looked puzzled and said, "Generally, the spirit fighters summoned by Spirit Gatherers are first-grade lower to first-grade upper. Special-grade talismans are extremely rare."

Rong Kexiong was inwardly alarmed but kept a calm face and said, "I don't know, maybe my spirit power talent is stronger."

Qi Duoduo nodded slightly and said, "That's the only explanation, but even with strong talent, it shouldn't be so consistently efficient."

Rong Kexiong spread his hands, adopting a helpless look.

Qi Duoduo waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Being able to summon special-grade talismans is better than lower-grade ones."

Rong Kexiong nodded in relief, knowing the reason himself.

Everything was related to the sphere, not just the special abilities within the sphere, but even the spirit power that passed through the sphere seemed to be much stronger than others.

However, he wouldn't tell anyone, not even the closest person.

Qi Duoduo's eyes sparkled and she said, "Brother, can you summon a ranked fighter talisman?"

Rong Kexiong was taken aback and asked, "What is that?"

Qi Duoduo smiled and explained, "Generally, fighter talismans are divided into three grades and four ranks." She pointed to the talisman in Rong Kexiong's hand and said, "The talisman you made is special-grade, below which are upper, middle, and lower grades. However, above these, there are heaven, earth, and human grades. These are the ranked talismans."

Rong Kexiong opened his mouth, muttering, "Why has no one ever told me about this?"

Qi Duoduo laughed and said, "Brother, you're only a mid-stage Spirit Practitioner. Hehe, these ranked fighter talismans can only be made by Master Spirit Gatherers. It's normal that no one has mentioned it to you." She tilted her head, looking incredibly cute.

Rong Kexiong was taken aback and laughed, "Hey, little girl, you're trying to discourage me."

Qi Duoduo's eyes narrowed into slits, and she said, "Brother, I just mentioned it in passing. I hope that when you make fighter talismans, you try to aim for this direction. This way, when you advance to Spirit Master or reach the peak of Spirit Practitioner, you might be able to make human-grade fighter talismans."

Rong Kexiong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What are the benefits of human-grade fighter talismans, and how are they made?"

Although he didn't know the strength of ranked spirit fighters, this thing sounded very impressive.

Qi Duoduo thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Brother, actually, you've already made a human-grade fighter talisman once."
