Chapter 46: Can’t the mighty Jian Guan produce a few million spirit stones?

Two quarters of an hour later, a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance spread.

Fu Huaian felt his spirit relax just from sniffing it.

Zhang Qingyuan's aged face showed a faint smile; he withdrew the blue flame, waved his sleeve, and the Pill Furnace opened, releasing seven red Medicinal Pills.

A white jade porcelain bottle flew from the Storage Pouch, and the Medicinal Pills orderly flew into it.

Zhang Qingyuan stood up and brought the white jade porcelain bottle into his hand; his white eyebrows swayed as he looked at Fu Huaian.

"Sword Crown Fu, seven Soul Nourishing Pills. Medicine God Valley sells them for fourteen thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones outside, but you only need seven thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Fu Huaian's expression was awkward. Is it still so expensive even at half price?

He couldn't afford it!

Fu Huaian glanced at the white jade porcelain bottle, took out his Storage Pouch and looked at it for a moment, then, without changing his expression, took out one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Zhang Gu Zhu, I'll buy one!"

Zhang Qingyuan looked at the Spirit Stones, too lazy to accept such a small amount.

"Let Qingyao have it as pocket money."

Zhang Qingyuan took out one Soul Nourishing Pill and handed it to Fu Huaian, his expression unreadable. Has Taiyi Sword Pool fallen so far?

Can a dignified Sword Crown not even produce a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones?

Zhang Qingyuan, as an Alchemist who hadn't been poor for eight hundred years, had no idea of the difficulties Cultivators faced outside. Fu Huaian's current savings were already quite a lot of money!

In this world, as long as one was an Alchemist, they were basically never poor; they were all rolling in wealth!

Zhang Qingyuan, as a Yuanying Realm, sixth-grade Alchemist, had no one in the entire Great Yan who was better at Alchemy than him!

He had so many Spirit Stones that he could spend them like ordinary copper coins…

Fu Huaian took the Medicinal Pill, put it into his embrace, and planned to contact Liu Ruyan when he returned to see how she could absorb this Medicinal Pill.

Xu Qingyao's eyes sparkled as she took the Spirit Stones, pulled out her small purse, put the Spirit Stones in, and looked at her purse Storage Pouch with a joyful expression!

She hadn't expected to receive a windfall just by bringing Fu Huaian over!

Her Gu Zhu Grandpa might not care for it, but for her, it was not a small sum!

Fu Huaian originally wanted to ask if there were any Spiritual Plants that could nourish the soul, but after thinking about his Storage Pouch, which only had a few hundred Spirit Stones left, he decided against it!

He and Xu Qingyao left, returning to the small wooden house where they resided.

Upon returning to the house, Fu Huaian immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating!

In his Sea of Consciousness.

"Liu Ruyan?"

"Yes, I saw you bought a Soul Nourishing Pill."

Fu Huaian was silent for a long time before he asked in a strange voice:

"Have you been watching the outside world all this time?"

Wisps of black mist floated out from Fu Huaian's Primordial Spirit, outlining a simple human figure.

Liu Ruyan floated in front of Fu Huaian.

"My consciousness was lost for too long, so I'm naturally curious about the outside world."

Fu Huaian's toes curled in embarrassment. Damn it!

Was she not watching a big show all this time?

"Liu Ruyan, your soul body is weak; focus on nourishing it. Don't always pay attention to the outside world for no reason!"

Liu Ruyan was silent for a moment, knowing the reason for Fu Huaian's words, and her phantom trembled slightly.

"I don't enjoy watching either… I, a dignified Demon Venerable, have no interest in such things!"

Fu Huaian didn't believe her, but he couldn't do anything about it. His current strength was not enough to block Liu Ruyan's Divine Sense!

A moment later.

Fu Huaian, tired at heart, suppressed the shame and began to talk about serious matters.

"How do I use the Soul Nourishing Pill?"

"You can take it directly. My Primordial Spirit and yours are now one. The Medicinal Pill's effect on your body is also an effect on mine!

Because of my existence, your Primordial Spirit will also be nourished.

The effect will be roughly a three-seven split, with me getting seven parts and you three. If this continues for a long time, your Primordial Spirit and soul will become terrifyingly strong!"

Fu Huaian's mood improved slightly. It seemed that spending money on Medicinal Pills wouldn't all be wasted…

Fu Huaian didn't want to talk much with Liu Ruyan. He directly exited his Sea of Consciousness, took the Medicinal Pill from his embrace, and put it into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, without any taste.

Because it was a Soul Nourishing Pill, Fu Huaian didn't feel any abnormality in his Dantian; he only clearly felt his consciousness clear and his spirit full!

That was the only effect!

Fu Huaian frowned. One thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for just this?

He returned to his Sea of Consciousness and communicated with Liu Ruyan.

"How do you feel?"

"There's a tiny bit of effect. With this kind of Low-Grade Medicinal Pill, I'd probably need to take ten thousand of them to restore even one ten-thousandth of my soul body…"

Fu Huaian was dumbfounded!

Then what's the point of recovering? Just wait to die!

Fu Huaian angrily exited his Sea of Consciousness. Who could afford this? No wonder Liu Ruyan had casually mentioned a dozen Immortal Pills earlier!

Compared to that, a single Immortal Pill felt like an invaluable treasure!

Fu Huaian's mood immediately became depressed. The difficulty of solving Liu Ruyan's soul body problem was too high.

Immortal Pills were definitely unobtainable, and he couldn't even afford Low-Grade Medicinal Pills.

Fu Huaian pondered for a long time, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind!

What if I become an Alchemist?

As long as one became an Alchemist, it meant escaping poverty and becoming rich.

Just like Zhang Qingyuan, Spirit Stones were just a string of numbers to him…

Even if it wasn't for Liu Ruyan, becoming an Alchemist would have great benefits!

Fu Huaian's eyes lit up, and he immediately took action.

He walked out of his room and went directly to Xu Qingyao's door, knocking loudly!

Xu Qingyao opened the door, her small face looking depressed as she looked at Fu Huaian:

"What do you want?"

"Let's talk inside!"

Xu Qingyao's heart tightened. Seeing Fu Huaian's impatient look, her small face flushed!

"No!"

Fu Huaian was stunned, his expression unreadable.

Xu Qingyao, her face flushed, spoke softly:

"I'm a young maiden; how can I let a big man like you enter my boudoir?"

Actually, it was mainly because Xu Qingyao saw Fu Huaian's eager look and felt that he was about to go wild and make a move on her!

Xu Qingyao was determined to always be a pure little white flower; how could she let him into the room!

Fu Huaian looked at her for a few moments, pondered, and then suddenly understood!

He was very displeased, his handsome face showing a very serious expression.

"Saintess Xu, you have some misunderstanding about me!"

Xu Qingyao snorted lightly, remaining silent.

Fu Huaian was helpless. Indeed, prejudice in people's hearts is a great mountain, and I can't do anything about suppressing the toxins either!

Fu Huaian always firmly believed he was a true gentleman!

After a moment of silence, Fu Huaian gave up explaining.

"Saintess Xu, I came to you for something serious!"

"What is it?"

"I want to learn Alchemy!"

Xu Qingyao's eyes widened, staring blankly at Fu Huaian.

"Sword Crown Fu, haven't you tried Alchemy since you entered Taiyi Sword Pool?"

Fu Huaian frowned and shook his head.

"I've been practicing swordplay for two and a half years since I entered Taiyi Sword Pool!"

Xu Qingyao glanced at Fu Huaian, her face full of speechlessness.

She moved her petite body aside, allowing Fu Huaian to enter the room.

Xu Qingyao took out her small purse, pulled out one hundred specially made cups, and casually threw them onto the ground.

They clinked crisply but didn't break.

Fu Huaian didn't understand what this was for and looked at Xu Qingyao in confusion.

The young girl glanced at the ground, nodded, and looked at Fu Huaian with her big eyes.

"Sword Crown Fu, you just need to use your Divine Sense to simultaneously control one hundred cups and arrange them to spell out your name."

This was to test Fu Huaian's Primordial Spirit strength and the precision of his Divine Sense manipulation.

The cups were made of special Materials and were extremely difficult to control.

One hundred cups corresponded to Fu Huaian's cultivation. As long as he could precisely arrange three characters, he would have the possibility of Alchemy.

After meeting the Divine Sense standard, they would then need to see if Fu Huaian could ignite a Spiritual Qi flame to be considered to have the basics for learning Alchemy.
