After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

There is still nearly half a month before the competition in each city, and the atmosphere in the inn is becoming more and more lively. Almost all the monks from each city have arrived, and the monks from the five major cities have also arrived.

Pei Yun observed secretly and found that those who participated in the competition from these big cities were all Jindan-stage cultivators, and their aura was much stronger than that of the Jindan-stage cultivators from Chi Ning City. She understood that a small city like their Chi Ning City could only be a foil to these big cities in this competition.

Of course, Pei Yun, who was accompanying the young man, was not even a foil. At most, she was just a spectator. She was not anxious at all and was still strolling around the imperial city with great interest.

Today she went shopping in the inner city. Her storage bag was issued by the sect, but it could hold too few things. She couldn't show her space spiritual palace to others easily, so she planned to buy a larger space ring.

At this moment, Pei Yun was visiting an elixir shop, which not only sold elixirs, but also elixir furnaces. She carefully looked at the elixir furnaces on the shelf. To be honest, her elixir furnace was a bit low-grade, and it was indeed time to replace it. She was fully capable of refining elixir of the eighth and ninth grades, and next she would try the elixir of the seventh grade, so she had to change to a better elixir furnace.

"Miss, what kind of alchemy furnace do you want to buy?" The shop owner saw her staying at the shelf selling alchemy furnaces for a long time and came forward to solicit business.

"Let me see this alchemy furnace!" Pei Yun pointed to the alchemy furnace on the top shelf. It was a lower-grade Xuan-level alchemy furnace.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and smiled, then took it down and handed it to her: "Miss, you have a good eye. This is one of the highest-grade alchemy furnaces in our shop. It was made by Master Wu in the Imperial City..."

Pei Yun listened to the shopkeeper's introduction while looking at it carefully, hesitating whether to use his spiritual power to enlarge the entity and have a look.

At this time, a group of people walked in. The two people in the lead were dressed in luxurious and bright clothes, and behind them were four followers dressed in the same way.

The girl in the lead held the man's arm and looked at the goods in the store curiously. Finally, she came to the two shopkeepers and stared at the alchemy furnace in Pei Yun's hand. She took a look and said, "This alchemy furnace is pretty good!"

"Buy it if you like it..." said the Fourth Prince Duanmu Yi and the concubine Cui Lan beside him, without even looking at Pei Yun and the shopkeeper.

"Forget it. My Cui family is a family of alchemy. We have many alchemy furnaces of this quality. This alchemy furnace just has a bit of ingenuity in the array pattern on the furnace body..."

"If I could get Lan'er to say something nice, then this alchemy furnace would be valuable..."

Pei Yun raised his eyes and glanced at them expressionlessly, then said to the shopkeeper with a bad face: "How much is this alchemy furnace?"

"Fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones."

This is much more expensive than ordinary low-grade Xuan-level magic weapons.

Perhaps seeing what Pei Yun meant, the shopkeeper said, "Miss, don't underestimate this furnace because it's expensive. It was made by Master Wu in his early years. The array patterns on it were all carved by Master Wu himself..."

Pei Yun didn't know who Master Wu was, but he was probably a famous weapon refiner in the imperial city. But Duanmu Yi and Cui Lan knew! They were both stunned, and Cui Lan immediately said, "I want this furnace."

Pei Yun and the shopkeeper were both stunned when these words were spoken. Duanmu Yi saw that the shopkeeper was standing still with an embarrassment on his face, so he frowned and scolded: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you pay the bill?" After saying that, the three of them looked at Pei Yun, who was still holding the alchemy furnace, with different expressions.

Pei Yun returned the alchemy furnace to the shopkeeper. She had not paid for it yet, nor had she decided whether to buy it or not. Since someone else had taken a fancy to it first, she would just consider herself not destined to have this alchemy furnace.

The faces of the other three people all improved. Duanmu Yi and Cui Lan had a proud expression on their faces, thinking "this guy is quite sensible", while the shopkeeper was somewhat grateful. After all, it was really not fair to do business like this.

At this moment, another group of people walked in, and they turned out to be acquaintances that Pei Yun knew.

As soon as Duanmu Hong entered the medicine shop, he saw Pei Yun, who was accompanying him in the secret realm. His surprise was obvious, and he stepped forward and asked loudly: "Junior Sister Pei, why are you here? Are you here to play in the Imperial City?"

Pei Yun looked at Duanmu Hong and found that he had also established his foundation. After all, they had spent some time together in the secret realm. Duanmu Hong had a simple and lively personality, and the time they had spent together was quite pleasant. When they met again, she smiled and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Long time no see. I came with our city lord to watch the competition among the cities."

Duanmu Hong was all smiles, and was about to suggest inviting her to a restaurant in the imperial city for dinner, but when he took a casual glance, he found that he couldn't see through her cultivation. With a look of shock, he half-jokingly said, "I didn't expect that in less than two years, I have just succeeded in building my foundation, and I can't see through your cultivation. It seems that I can't call you Junior Sister Pei anymore. I have to call you Senior Sister Pei from now on..."

Pei Yun smiled and was about to tease him and call him Junior Brother Duanmu, but a voice interrupted him: "Sixth Brother, is this someone you know? Why don't you introduce him to me!"

Duanmu Hong then noticed Duanmu Yi and the other man not far away, and his smile unconsciously faded: "Fourth brother, you are here too..." He turned around and introduced Pei Yun, "Pei... Senior Sister, this is my fourth brother Duanmu Yi... Fourth brother, this is my senior sister, Pei Yun."

"Is this Miss Pei also a disciple of the Yunshan Sect?"

"Yes."

The way Duanmu Yi and Cui Lan looked at her was as if they were estimating the value of a piece of merchandise, which made Pei Yun very uncomfortable. She didn't want to spend more time with these two people.

Duanmu Hong also noticed Pei Yun's indifference towards the two of them, so he stepped forward and stood in front of her: "Fourth brother, please take your time to browse around the store. Senior Sister Pei and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I'll go first..." He looked at Pei Yun and winked, "Senior Sister Pei, I told you last time when I would meet you for dinner. It's better to do it today than today. I wonder if you are free?"

Pei Yun nodded, but did not leave with him immediately. Instead, he said, "Wait a moment." Then he walked straight towards the shopkeeper.

"What's the matter, young lady?" The shopkeeper thought she wanted to get entangled in the matter of the alchemy furnace again. He could see that the people present were of extraordinary status and he couldn't afford to offend them! He felt uneasy.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal pills?"

When these words were spoken, the others were all stunned.

"We will accept them, but we only accept high-quality pills. We will not accept low-quality pills..."

Pei Yun didn't waste any words. He took out a few bottles of pills and placed them on the counter for him to examine. Others also gathered around curiously.

The shopkeeper picked up a bottle at random and opened it. The rich aroma of the elixir filled his nose. He was excited and poured the pills onto the tray to examine them carefully.

"Superior, superior, superior... This is... Wuque Pill, oh my god!"

The shopkeeper's expression gradually changed from surprise to excitement, and finally to indescribable amazement when he saw the Wuque Pill. His face turned red with excitement.

“Impossible!” Cui Lan, who was born in a family of alchemy, rushed to the shopkeeper in disbelief and lowered his head to check it himself.

"Girl... this is... did you make it yourself?" There are more than a hundred pills in this bottle, the lowest quality ones are all top-grade, and one-tenth of them are flawless pills.

"Yes, how about you accept it?" Pei Yun nodded and asked.

"We will, of course we will. Miss, your elixir is of very good quality. Although it is a ninth-grade elixir, we will definitely give you a fair price..." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and rubbed his hands with a smile.

“…How is it possible?! How can a little girl like you refine such high-quality pills…” Cui Lan had already carefully inspected them by now and found that they were indeed of high quality, and there were even flawless pills.

Although their Cui family is a family of elixirs, only a few of the Cui family's ancestors can refine the Wuque Pill, and there will definitely be no more than one person. Looking at the young Pei Yun in front of her, she really couldn't believe it. Moreover, she just found out that the man in front of her looked so young, and his cultivation was already in the middle stage of foundation building, while she herself was only in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Is your elder in the family an alchemist? Was this made by your elder in the family?" Cui Lan had several thoughts in his mind, and finally he tried to calm down and slowed down his tone.

Pei Yun was annoyed by her self-righteous questioning. He didn't want to pay attention to her and asked the shopkeeper directly: "How much can you pay for these two bottles of ninth-grade elixirs?"

"Miss, if they are all of this quality, I can offer one thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle."

"One thousand and two per bottle, one hundred pills per bottle."

"This girl..."

Pei Yun stopped the shopkeeper from bargaining and took out another twenty bottles from his storage bag, placing them one by one on the counter.

Everyone present was stunned by her actions and was speechless. Their eyes were shining as they stared at the pill bottles. At this moment, except Pei Yun, everyone else swallowed unconsciously.

To be honest, a few thousand ninth-grade pills are nothing special, as they can be refined over a long period of time. But thousands of top-quality pills, including the perfect pill, are terrifying. It can only mean that the person refining the pills has extremely advanced alchemy skills to produce such 100% top-quality pills.

"This, this...what are these?!" The shopkeeper could hardly speak clearly.

Pei Yun nodded and continued to negotiate the price: "If you agree to 1,200 low-grade spirit stones per bottle, I will sell all these twenty bottles of pills to you."

These were her share of the profits after refining the products after she took on the task at Danxiang Pavilion. Of course, she didn't sell them all. For example, she kept most of the Ninth-grade Wuque Pill, just in case. Because some people didn't want to use spirit stones in transactions, she could exchange them with pills.

"Deal!" The shopkeeper agreed immediately without thinking. The price Pei Yun wanted was not expensive. It could even be said that it was much lower than his psychological price. What's more, there was the hard-to-find Wuque Pill.

"Wait a moment, young lady. As there are many spirit stones, I will ask someone to go to the backyard to get some..." The shopkeeper sent someone to get the spirit stones while he began to check the pills in the pill bottle.

Duanmu Yi didn't care about Cui Lan's gloomy face at this time. He walked around her and came to Pei Yun's side. With a slightly flattering tone, he smiled and asked in a self-proclaimed elegant manner: "Miss Pei is also from a family of alchemy?"

"Senior Sister Pei, you are actually an alchemist?" Duanmu Hong also came back to his senses, but he did not want to spy on Pei Yun's affairs, he just asked out of curiosity.

"My family is just a small family in Chi Ning City, and Chi Ning City is just a small city in Zhou Xia Country..." Pei Yun pointed to a small pill bottle hanging on her waist and said to Duanmu Hong, "I just passed the ninth-grade alchemist assessment of Danxiang Pavilion not long ago..."

"Senior Sister Pei, you are so awesome." Duanmu Hong looked at her with admiration. He was the only one present who knew how awesome Pei Yun was.

In two years, not only did he break through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but he also became a ninth-grade alchemist. You know, alchemy is very time-consuming. This Senior Sister Pei Yun in front of me is a real genius! I am far behind her.

After a while, the spirit stone was given to Pei Yun and the shopkeeper had finished the inspection. Pei Yun and Duanmu Hong didn't want to waste any more time talking to the other two, so they found an excuse to say goodbye and left.

"Senior Sister Pei, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to the Imperial City. As your host, I would like to invite you to dine at Fengxilou, the best restaurant in the Imperial City..."

"So you are... Duanmu Hong, the sixth prince of Zhouxia Kingdom."

"Hehe! Senior Sister has guessed it..."

……

The two chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than in the store. They then had dinner at Fengxilou. It was not until dark that lanterns were hung on both sides of the street that Duanmu Hong sent Pei Yun to the door of Yunlai Inn...

"Senior Sister Pei, it turns out that all the people from your cities are staying here. I will come to visit you in a few days..."

"Okay, just find Chi Ningcheng Pei Yun when the time comes."

The two greeted each other and left, waved goodbye.

Pei Yun stood at the door of the inn with his hands behind his back. He saw Duanmu Hong leaving in the moonlight, turned around and was about to go in, when he ran into City Lord Zhao who was also returning late.

"City Lord." Pei Yun bowed and saluted.

City Lord Zhao half-closed his eyes and looked at Duanmu Hong who was leaving for a few times, then turned around and asked warmly, "Miss Pei, did you just come back?"

"I ran into a good friend and chatted a little more."

"Well, young people should make more friends..."

City Lord Zhao patted her shoulder with satisfaction, and without saying anything, went back to the inn.

"City Lord, the good friend of Miss Pei just now should be the sixth prince Duanmu Hong of Zhouxia Kingdom." Several guest elders of the City Lord's Mansion were sitting in City Lord Zhao's room.

"This Sixth Prince is young and very talented. He has always been favored. I heard that he was raised by the uncle of Zhouxia Kingdom when he was a child...so his status is the highest among the princes."

"Then can we use..."

The guest elder didn't say anything else, but everyone present was very smart and understood what he meant instantly.

This time when they arrived at the Imperial City and inquired about the strength of other cities, they became more and more uneasy. In recent years, not to mention the big cities, even the small cities with similar levels to them have grown rapidly in strength. If they could still rank among the small cities last time, they will definitely fall back a few places this time.

"I want... to let Pei Yun participate in this city competition." City Lord Zhao said after careful consideration.

"This... the candidates have already been chosen, who is willing to give up the spot? Besides, even if Pei Yun has good talent, she is only in the middle stage of foundation building now. If she goes on stage to compete, she will be killed instantly..."

Although the foundation-building cultivators in their Chi Ning City were about the same, they at least looked to be in the late foundation-building stage. They had inquired around and found that even the small cities did not send people in the middle foundation-building stage to the stage. The lowest cultivation level this time was in the late foundation-building stage. Everyone participating in the competition from the big cities was in the Golden Core stage. Sending Pei Yun out would only cause a joke!

"You also said that Pei Yun is already in the middle stage of foundation building at this age, so what level will she be in the next city competition! Moreover, she has contacts with the royal family, has connections and strength. Even if we don't get a good ranking this time, we can definitely rely on her to make a comeback in the next one. This quota is our gesture of goodwill to her..."

Several elders were silent. In fact, through their movements and investigations over the past few days, they had little confidence in this city competition. So, there was no loss in replacing Pei Yun. They would be at the bottom anyway, so they might as well give face to Pei Yun and hope that she would make a comeback in the next competition.

“Elder Wang, I’m sorry to have troubled you this time. Although you won’t be on the field, I will not lose any resources I promised you…” City Lord Zhao said to a guest elder.

This time, two people were selected from the City Lord's Mansion. One was City Lord Zhao himself, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core and had the highest cultivation level in Chi Ning City; the other was Elder Wang, who was in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"You are too polite, City Lord. I don't have to go on stage and I can still get resources. What else can I complain about?" He was just a guest elder who was paid to do the job. Since he was promised a lot of resources, he would be happy not to go on stage.

So, when Pei Yun was about to go out the next day, City Lord Zhao found her and told her what had happened.

Pei Yun glanced at City Lord Zhao a few times, but did not agree immediately. Instead, she lowered her head and thought for a moment. She knew that this move was a gesture of goodwill from the City Lord's Mansion to her, and it was also a hint that she would need to participate in the next session.

If they participated in the competition, their Pei family would get more resources, but what did the Pei family have to do with her? To be honest, it was good enough that she didn't take revenge on those who bullied her in the Pei family.

However, after considering it for a long time, she still agreed. Firstly, this was a rare opportunity to hone herself. Her opponents were all cultivators with higher cultivation than hers, and there was no danger. Secondly, she would discuss with Pei Tan after returning to get the resources that belonged to her back. She believed that with Pei Tan's personality, he would probably offer them with both hands.

"Since the city lord thinks highly of me, Pei Yun will do his best to bring glory to Chi Ning City."

"Okay! You are the most talented cultivator in Chi Ning City. I believe in you and my own vision. Your future is the future of Chi Ning City..."
