After looting the Black Wind Gang’s treasure house and receiving the reward, Jun Changxiao had amassed 50,000 taels. He then spent about 10,000 on rebuilding the inner courtyard. How did he suddenly have 100,000 taels of silver?
Through other places.
He swept the Spirit Spring Sect’s treasury after destroying it. Not calculating the various supreme treasures and martial skills, he had at least 10,000 taels in gold.
The two elders were filled with surprise.
100,000 taels was not a small number; that a ninth grade sect could take out so much money was unbelievable!
“Patriarch Ai,” Jun Changxiao said. “These materials, how soon can you ship them here?”
Ai Shangni considered it slightly, then responded, “Sect Head Jun, if you need them soon, they can get here in about four hours.”
“I need them as soon as possible,” Jun Changxiao said.
He wished that he could get the herbs now, pull out the alchemy furnace and refine large quantities of pills.
Ai Shangni looked and Ai Shangfang and ordered, “Inform the elder at the medicine supply, have all of the herbs Sect Head Jun listed shipped out completely.”
“Yes.”
Ai Shangfang turned around and rushed off.
Four hours was still a little long, so Ai Shangni started to make small talk. “Sect Head Jun is buying so many medicinal herbs, is it for alchemical purposes?”
Jun Changxiao said, “Correct.”
The Ai Family ran a business in the selling of pills and medicinal herbs, so he may need to interact with them more in the future. Thus his tone was quite temperate, lacking the arrogance from Star Moon Pavilion.
That was Jun Changxiao.
He could brutally destroy the Spirit Spring Sect, but he could also sit down with Patriarch Ai like they were old friends.
This was also because the Ai Family valued peace and money. If you traded them with a noble martial family, the moment he beat up a subordinate, they would have immediately drawn swords.
Ai Shangni was surprised. “Is it Sect Head Jun who refines pills?”
“Correct,” confirmed Jun Changxiao.
The surprise in Ai Shangni’s eyes became thicker. “Sect Head Jun’s cultivation is uncommon and he understands alchemy, really a dragon amongst men!”
Worthy of a person in business, his words made Jun Changxiao slightly embarrassed. He humbly replied, “This Jun studies many crafts. That way, in case I am not a sect leader in the future, I can still make a living.”
Ai Shangni and Ai Shangke felt the corners of their mouths twitching.
The way of alchemy was not like that of a chef, who could take up the ladle and learn the trade, but depended on aptitude and physique.
According to Falling Star Continent’s relevant reports, only about 1 in every 100,000 people had the aptitude for alchemy, which was quite rare.
Ai Shangni then asked, “Since Sect Head Jun wishes to make alchemy his craft, you must have extremely high attainments?”
“Just passable.”
Jun Changxiao said that, but suddenly had a thought and leaned forward, threading his fingers together. “Right, Patriarch Ai, does your Ai Family buy medicinal pills?”
Ai Shangni smiled. “Part of my Ai Family’s business is buying and selling medicinal pills.”
The Ai Family had many branches in the various Qingyang Commandery cities. The pills sold inside, at least half were from outside sources — it could be said that customers were paying for the brand.
Jun Changxiao said, “I have a healing pill, would Patriarch Ai have interest in purchasing it?”
“This…” Patriarch Ai hesitated slightly. “I will be straight with Sect Head Jun, healing pills are the most common pills on the market. Our Ai Family has many and so temporarily has no demand for more.”
Jun Changxiao leaned back into his chair. “Patriarch Ai, this Lord will also speak frankly, your Ai Family’s healing pills are a pile of trash.”
Ai Shangni and Ai Shangke were startled, their eyes quickly flashing with anger.
Their family had always been in the trade of healing pills, the quality always excellent. For them to be described as trash was definitely hard to accept.
Jun Changxiao took out a basic Healing Pill and placed it on the table. “Patriarch Ai can look at this Lord’s Healing Pill.”
Ai Shangni said, “Sect Head Jun, your medicinal pill also looks quite ordinary.”
As an expert in medicinal pills, he could tell quality with just a glance.
The basic Healing Pill indeed looked ordinary, as it lacked luster. When Jun Changxiao previously took it out to save Li Qingyang, Lu Qianqian had also thought it was an ordinary healing pill.
Jun Changxiao said, “I ask Patriarch Ai to look carefully.”
Ai Shangni and Ai Shangke glanced at each other before the patriarch picked up the pill, releasing his spiritual energy to scan it. He then shook his head, “Sect Head Jun, this is indeed ordinary, like a beginner tried his hand at refining a healing pill.”

And you’ve been in the alchemical business for generations, your Ai Family really has no eye for quality!
“How about this,” Jun Changxiao sighed. “The effect of my healing pill, Patriarch Ai can invite the injured Storekeeper Ma to confirm.”
Ai Shangni and Ai Shangke shared a meaningful look. The latter nodded then walked out of the reception room, soon returning with Ma Zheng in tow.
Shua!
Like an arrow, Jun Changxiao darted forward and poured spiritual energy into his fist, ruthlessly punching the pan in the gut.
Pu—
Storekeeper Ma’s eyes bulged and he coughed up blood.
Jun Changxiao then circled behind him, shoving him into the floor with a shoulder-slam. Then bam bam bam, punched him a couple more times.
The entire thing happened so quickly that Storekeeper Ma was already half-dead on the ground before Ai Shangni could get angry. He bellowed, “Jun Changxiao, you’ve gone too far!”
For business, he did not mention the matter a moment ago. Now that the man had attacked Storekeeper Ma and beaten him into a pulp, even a clay figurine would be enraged!
Jun Changxiao returned to his seat and put his chin in his hands, waving his hand, “Storekeeper Ma’s wounds are very heavy, could Patriarch Ai try out the medicinal pill. If it cannot immediately cure him, this Jun will destroy his own meridians.”
In order to sell his pills, he had beaten up their subordinate and then bet using suicide — this move definitely deserved a 666. [1]
“Immediately cure?” Ai Shangni’s voice was cold as he said, “Sect Head Jun, do you take healing pills as immortal pills?”
Saying that, he arrived in front of Storekeeper Ma and shoved the basic Healing Pill inside his mouth. After all, that beating a moment ago had been too heavy, so he feared it would endanger his life.
Ai Shangke took out his own medicine.
However, he hadn’t even poured any pills out of the bottle when the half-dead Storekeeper Ma actually stood up!
Putong!
Ai Shangni and Ai Shangke were startled that they took a few steps back, face filled with amazement.
They were frightened by the scene of the half-dead Storekeeper Ma getting up!
“I…” Storekeeper Ma lifted up his hands, dumbfounded. “My injuries are gone?”
Ai Shangni’s and Ai Shang’s eyes widened.
Jun Changxiao’s attack just now had been quite violent and this fellow had definitely been severely wounded. Even if treated promptly, he should have been bed-ridden for at least three months!
Yet he had taken this seemingly ordinary healing pill and not only could he immediately stand up, he could even talk!
Was that a ghost?
What a joke!
Ai Shangni had experienced great storms and took a step forward, grabbing Storekeeper Ma by the wrist and pouring spiritual energy into the man. When he found that the man’s meridians were all perfect, his entire body was petrified on the spot.
Ai Shangke also rushed forward, grabbing Ma Zheng by the other wrist. He then found that the man had no internal injuries and his mind went blank, also becoming frozen.
The wound was so heavy, but the recovery had been rapid.
That wasn’t a healing pill, it was an immortal pill!
Ai Shangni, Ai Shangke, and Storekeeper Ma were all dumbfounded, like three clay figurines on display.
Jun Changxiao folded his arms and smiled. “Patriarch Ai, this Jun’s healing pill, how is the effect?”
Ai Shangni recovered his composure and quickly ran over, placing both hands on the table and looking exceptionally solemn. “Sect Head Jun, your healing pills, my Ai Family wants however many you have!”
A person with a severe wound could be cured immediately.
This healing pill’s effects were simply ferocious!
Even if it was the mind of a normal businessman, it was easy to realize that selling these pills would cause a tremendous sensation.
Jun Changxiao smiled, “Price?”
“Sect Head Jun can set the price!” Ai Shangni said.
Jun Changxiao tapped his chin. After a moment of thought, he said, “10,000 taels.”
“Okay!”
Ai Shangni didn’t even take a moment before agreeing.
This caused Jun Changxiao’s mouth to twitch. He secretly thought, Did I ask for too little?
