Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

Chapter 420: Secret Trading of Fake Pills

As soon as Duanmu Lan stepped out of the alchemy room, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly put away her smile, thinking to herself: "Fortunately, the two of them went to Yueyu Tower to practice talismans and formations. If they found out, it would be difficult to deal with. But as long as I deny it, they won't be able to guess it."

Thinking of this, she quickly walked out of the No. 1 alchemy room.

Xia Cao saw that today's host seemed to be in high spirits. Although Duanmu Lan tried her best to hide it, the smile that could not be suppressed at the corners of her mouth could not be faked.

Seeing Duanmu Lan in a hurry, Xia Cao didn't dare to ask more questions. He quickly lowered his head and buried himself in the pile of medicinal herbs.

Duanmu Lan rode on the cloud boat and sped all the way to Qingyao Peak.

As soon as she landed, an attendant bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Sister Lan, please come in. Elder Qi has been waiting inside for a long time."

Duanmu Lan nodded slightly and responded softly: "Yeah."

She walked gracefully into the study, and the servant closed the door considerately.

Duanmu Lan came to the desk alone and bowed respectfully, saying, "Duanmu Lan greets Elder Qi."

Duanmu Qi looked at her with admiration and said, "No need to be polite. Did you bring the things?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lan took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag and placed it carefully on the desk.

Duanmu Qi glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "It really worked!"

Afterwards, he put the pill away and transferred the contribution points. "You have made a great contribution this time. You can watch the refining of the seventh-level pill at will."

Duanmu Lan picked up the jade pendant and glanced at it hastily. He saw that it showed a total of 3000 million spirit stones. He was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Elder Qi."

Duanmu Qi also specifically said, "Someone has been asking about this matter recently, so it's better not to spread it."

Duanmu Lan responded: "Don't worry, Elder Qi, Wang Qiye and I are the only ones who know about this matter."

Duanmu Qi nodded with satisfaction: "That's great."

Seeing this, Duanmu Lan said, "Since there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, she exited the room.

After leaving the study, Duanmu Lan walked down the mountain.

At this moment, she could no longer suppress the smile on her lips, and that smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

"I accomplished this feat with ease this time, and I also managed to refine the seventh-grade elixir. Although my master will teach me, it takes 5400 days to refine one furnace of the seventh-grade elixir. If my master teaches me alone, it will take me 150 years just to learn how to open a furnace."

She secretly calculated in her mind, "Nowadays, as long as there is an alchemist in Qingyao Peak refining a seventh-level pill, I can watch and learn it. I should be able to learn it in about ten years, right?"

She walked down the mountain briskly and cheerfully. Halfway down the mountain, she finally remembered something.

Duanmu Lan transferred 3000 million contribution points to Ruyi, and then left her a message: "This is the income from selling pills."

Ruyi was very happy to see a large amount of spirit stones deposited into the public account.

She didn't dare to ask more, but just quickly replied "Yes."

Afterwards, she secretly admired her brother-in-law's good methods, saying that a large amount of spirit stones had arrived in the account in recent months, and it really happened.

Looking at the figure of 3080 million in the public account, she felt very safe.

……

After Duanmu Lan left, Duanmu Qi hurriedly sent a message to Shangluo Shi.

Duanmu Qi left a message: "The item is ready, you can pick it up tonight."

Shangluo Shi's face lit up with joy when he saw the message on the jade pendant.

Shang Luoshi left a message: "Thank you, Elder Qi. I will be there in the evening."

"What's wrong, Luo Shi? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Shang Tinghan looked over curiously. He had been in Lingxi for more than a year, but this was the first time he saw her smile so childishly.

Shang Luoshi's eyes sparkled as he said, "Tinghan, you can go get ready. The time is coming."

Shang Tinghan's breathing quickened when he heard this, and he could hardly control himself for a moment. Although he had been prepared, when he heard the exact news, he was still overwhelmed.

At this moment, he was so excited that he could not speak. He could only nod vigorously in response to Shangluo Shi.

Shang Luoshi could completely understand Shang Tinghan's feelings at this moment. It can be said that no one knew better than her how difficult and dangerous it was for Shang Tinghan to practice and break through the "Canglan Yuhai Jue".

Take the thirteenth level of Qi Refining for example. Other cultivators only need to spend about 20 years to complete it successfully, and this is the case when one needs to deliberately suppress their cultivation and cannot progress too quickly.

However, the Shangjia cultivators do not need to suppress their cultivation, but they need to try their best, even risking their lives, and it takes a full 200 years to cultivate to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.

You know, the lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage is only 100 years at most. Often, before they can reach the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the Shang family members have already aged and died as time goes by.

This is only the situation in the Qi Refining Stage. When you enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, there are a total of nine levels. Each level is like going through a life-and-death catastrophe. You need to shed a layer of skin and risk your life in exchange for a level that is easy and simple to break through for other cultivators.

The situations of hidden families like the Sikong family and the Man family are basically the same. If they don't make a sound, they will be nothing. But when they do, they will make a big splash.

As long as they can successfully pass the extremely difficult obstacles at the beginning, the obstacles behind will become much easier for them, as fragile as paper and vulnerable to any attack.

This is also the fundamental reason why they choose to move forward bravely despite knowing that there are many difficulties ahead, and why they do it despite knowing that it is impossible. It is worth them spending such a huge price, it must be because these skills are too powerful.

Just like the "Canglan Yuhai Jue" of the merchants, it is closely related to the attribute of water, and can control the vast power like the Canglan sea at will for defense and attack.

It is this powerful and shocking force that makes it difficult for them to let go and give up.

Since normal cultivation methods are simply not feasible, we have no choice but to resort to some extraordinary measures.

These hidden families all have some unique insights and clever methods to break through their family's skills.

Although this process is accompanied by countless deaths and great dangers, there is still some tiny hope.

And now, there is a kind of magical fake pill that can directly promote a cultivator at the seventh level of foundation building to the late stage of golden elixir.

When they learned this unbelievable news, the madness in their hearts was simply difficult to describe in words.

Crazy, really crazy, this is the only word to describe their state at that time.

For them, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a ray of hope on the road to immortality. Only those who have experienced countless hardships on the road of cultivation can deeply appreciate the tremendous shock brought about by this miracle.

That’s five whole lives, and it even shortens the cultivation time by 500 years!

In that case, you only need to risk your life to fight for that last hurdle.

After passing it, the road will be smooth from now on.

It didn't pass and turned into a handful of yellow earth.

For five lives, it is definitely worth it for them to give it a try!

night.

From the merchant's grand and stately residence, the garbage collectors methodically gathered the mountains of trash as usual, carefully loaded them into the garbage trucks, and then slowly moved them away.

It’s just that a shabby wooden box has quietly appeared on the garbage truck today, and no one noticed the mystery hidden in it.

The spy from the Sikong family yawned lazily, and glanced at the merchants casually. In his opinion, everything was normal today, nothing unusual. However, he didn't know that a secret transaction was quietly going on.

A short man in a black cloak hurriedly boarded the cloud boat bound for Qingyao Peak.

After the cloud boat docked safely, she sped along, walking quickly like the wind towards a familiar place.

Soon, she came to a secret dark room.

Not long after, Duanmu Qi also hurried over.

At this time, she slowly took off the hood on her head, revealing a naturally beautiful and bright face.

"Shang Luoshi greets Elder Qi." She bowed slightly, her tone full of respect.

Duanmu Qi was very confident this time. He took out the precious porcelain bottle from his storage bag without hesitation and threw it to her.

"You know the rules. Just follow them quietly and don't make any noise." His voice was low and serious.

"Of course." Shang Luoshi's hands trembled slightly with nervousness, and he hurriedly caught this extremely precious fake pill.

She placed it in front of her eyes and looked carefully and intently to see what magic it had.

This fake pill exudes an extremely rich breath of life, which is very different from other common fake pills.

"Is this the fake pill?" Shang Luoshi looked at it as if he was looking at a rare work of art, his eyes full of obsession and intoxication.

Duanmu Qi interrupted her impatiently, "Okay, let's go, our transaction has been successfully completed."

Shang Luoshi then abruptly withdrew his gaze, suddenly realizing his own gaffe, and quickly spoke apologetically.

"Elder Qi, our merchant is still willing to purchase the next fake pill. We can totally accept that price." Her eyes were full of expectation and desire.

Duanmu Qi chuckled proudly, "Let's talk about it later. The Sect Master wants to strike a balance. You can go back and gather the spirit stones and just wait in line."

Shang Luoshi's eyes flashed with deep disappointment. You know, there are eight hidden families, and there are also some people who come to disrupt the situation. It took three years and nine months for a fake pill to flow out.

I really don’t know when the next time will come.

However, she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction. She just put away the fake pill and bowed respectfully again, "Then I will not disturb Elder Qi. Luo Shi will take my leave first."

She put the hood back over her stunning face, turned around and stood up, leaving quietly.
