Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 257 Buying a Pill Furnace? (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Wuwu Wuwu)

Zhong's Restaurant, similarly located in the northern district, was a five-story building adorned with red lanterns bearing the Zhong character.

Outside the restaurant, cultivators came and went in droves.

Various high-level cultivators ascended the restaurant, seeking a panoramic view.

Ye Jingcheng, accompanied by Ye Jingyu, approached from afar, the latter somewhat puzzled by Ye Jingcheng's choice of venue.

However, she remained silent, trusting Ye Jingcheng's judgment.

Upon reaching the restaurant entrance, two rows of beautiful women cultivators in green dresses greeted them with radiant smiles, their hands clasped to their sides as they bowed slightly.

"Young master, we offer cultivators upstairs the option to choose a 'pure companion'!" a female cultivator whispered as a reminder.

Ye Jingcheng remained unfazed, not uttering a word as he proceeded directly to the second floor, while Ye Jingyu's face flushed red.

Ye Jingcheng was familiar with Zhong's Restaurant; its arrangements were indeed unconventional.

Besides the usual spiritual cuisine, Zhong's Restaurant also catered to the whims of some uninhibited cultivators.

Qi Refining cultivators could find a mortal woman from the Zhong family for a night of pleasure, while Foundation Establishment cultivators could engage in deep conversations with early-stage Qi Refining female cultivators from the Zhong family all night long.

Zifu cultivators could find mid-stage Qi Refining female cultivators from the Zhong family.

Moreover, all the 'pure companions' were provided without additional charges.

It was simply part of the Zhong family's grand plan for nurturing immortal seedlings.

For many rogue cultivators, even knowing that they were being used as 'seed donors,' they were willing to participate.

After all, if their descendants truly possessed spiritual roots and were born into a Golden Core family, it would undoubtedly be a stroke of good fortune.

Not to mention, the Zhong family's female cultivators were deeply loved by them.

As for the floor arrangement, Ye Jingcheng had already investigated it.

Cultivation level corresponded to the floor; to ascend to a higher level, one needed to verify their wealth.

And they needed to order at least the corresponding spiritual cuisine, spending the corresponding spirit stones.

Upon reaching the second floor, Ye Jingcheng produced a storage bag he had prepared in advance and handed it to a beautiful female cultivator.

The female cultivator weighed the storage bag and scanned it with her spiritual sense.

She then allowed Ye Jingcheng to proceed to the third floor.

Zhong's Restaurant was extravagantly decorated, crafted entirely from red seven-star Phoebe nanmu; throughout the building, one could sense the fragrance of nanmu and waves of spiritual energy.

The stairwells also featured some spiritual diagrams, showcasing techniques for minor spells.

These minor spells, if placed in shops or even on stalls, might not be worth many spirit stones.

But placing them in the stairwells, allowing the consuming cultivators to view them for free, instantly created a sense of grandeur and generosity.

Stepping onto the third floor, they found themselves surrounded by private rooms; a beautiful Foundation Establishment female cultivator led Ye Jingcheng into one.

"Young master, this curtain is Qingwu's curtain; open it, and you can enjoy a song to your heart's content," the beautiful female cultivator said, addressing him as "young master."

This caused Ye Jingcheng's face to flush slightly; although he appeared to be in his twenties, he was actually past forty.

The private room had a window on the far side.

A screen stood in front of the window, and behind the screen were several curtains.

"Just bring a Dragon Gate Feast, a pot of Turtle Immortal Wine, and three side dishes," Ye Jingcheng said directly.

The other party nodded and left the room.

"Relax a little later; this time, it's my elder brother who introduced us, so he'll give him some face!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Jingyu nodded; soon, the door was pushed open, and a handsome young man with a fan, accompanied by a purple-skirted maid, entered.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, I've heard so much about you; I am Ye Jingcheng," Ye Jingcheng said, rising to greet the latter.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's spiritual physique is truly renowned!" Jin Yutang said with a hearty laugh.

He then sat down as directed by Ye Jingcheng.

Almost as soon as Jin Yutang arrived, spiritual cuisine and wine began to be delivered to the door.

Among the spiritual dishes, the Dragon Gate Feast was the most extravagant; of course, despite the mention of "Dragon Gate," it was actually Jade Gate Fish.

The Zhong family had even fabricated a legend about the Jade Gate Fish transforming into a dragon, selling what was originally a spiritual fish dish as a Jade Dragon Feast.

However, as soon as the spiritual dish was served, Ye Jingcheng felt a surge of abundant spiritual energy.

This was a genuine third-order spiritual dish.

Just half of this Jade Gate Fish was worth thousands of spirit stones.

If Ye Jingcheng hadn't been discussing the spiritual herb plan this time, he wouldn't have been so extravagant.

"Fellow Daoist Ye has spent a lot; even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can gain three months of hard cultivation from eating this Jade Gate Fish!" Jin Yutang said.

"It's no extravagance; Fellow Daoist Jin is a good friend of my elder brother; I should even call you Brother Jin; a spiritual feast is nothing to mention," Ye Jingcheng said, raising the Turtle Immortal Wine.

This Turtle Immortal Wine was not a third-order spiritual wine but a second-order top-grade wine, but its price was not much different from the spiritual fish feast.

It was also a rare item.

The wine was as clear as the color of a green turtle and extremely fragrant.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is too kind; I was entrusted by Brother Ye to bring some spiritual herbs; otherwise, I should be returning to Hetian Valley today to cultivate in seclusion," Jin Yutang said thoughtfully, a hint of difficulty in his eyes.

Rejecting Ye Jingcheng's intention was very clear.

Ye Jingcheng frowned slightly; he had guessed that the Kong family of Taiqiu Mountain was the one who had taken action against the Ye family, and he was puzzled that Jin Yutang did not want to intervene.

Moreover, his elder brother's relationship didn't seem as good as he had imagined.

But then he realized that his elder brother had only recently broken through to Foundation Establishment and had immediately gone into seclusion after the breakthrough, so it was probably just a polite exchange between fellow disciples.

And then his elder brother took it seriously.

But then Ye Jingcheng remained calm and continued.

"I wonder how many spiritual herbs Fellow Daoist Jin has brought?"

Jin Yutang took out a jade slip and placed it on the table; Ye Jingcheng picked up the jade slip, glanced at it, and then took out a storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, would you like to count them?" There were nearly ten thousand spirit stones in Ye Jingcheng's storage bag.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn't feel any heartache at this moment.

This storage bag contained not only the materials for first-order Spirit Nourishing Pills, Spirit Breeding Pills, and Qi Replenishing Pills, but also the materials for second-order Jade Soul Grass, as well as Fire Heart Fruit, and two main ingredients for second-order Golden Scale Pills.

They were the five-hundred-year-old Yellow Cloud Ginseng and the four-hundred-year-old Black Jade Fruit.

These two spiritual herbs alone were worth one thousand four hundred spirit stones.

For Ye Jingcheng, it was definitely a bargain.

Jade Soul Grass would also allow him to refine a few more Jade Soul Pills.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, it seems that there is a shortage of about four hundred spirit stones; I will use a Jade Soul Pill to offset the difference; I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jin is willing; it is really a bit difficult with the recent opening of a new shop," Ye Jingcheng said, taking out a jade bottle.

"Oh?" The latter took the jade bottle, revealing a look of interest.

Especially after opening the pill bottle and sensing the aura of the spiritual pill, his eyes softened a little.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Ye Jingcheng's face improved a lot.

"Brother Jin, although my family also refines pills, pill furnaces are scarce; my cousin also wants to practice refining pills; I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jin has any unused first-order pill furnaces; I am willing to buy them with spirit stones."

"Coincidentally, I happen to have one," Jin Yutang paused, then said.

However, what he took out was a first-order low-grade beginner pill furnace.

This kind of pill furnace, if placed on the market, would be worth at most fifty or sixty spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng once again took out a storage bag, which contained exactly six hundred spirit stones.

"Thank you, Brother Jin, for your generosity!"

"It's nothing; Brother Ye and my elder brother have a very good relationship within the sect; this is only natural!" Jin Yutang's attitude underwent a major change.

This scene made Ye Jingyu extremely puzzled.

"Since Fellow Daoist Ye calls me Brother Jin, then I, as your elder brother, must naturally do my best; although I am not in the market, if the Ye family needs any of the Jin family's spiritual herbs, you can still order them," Jin Yutang raised his glass.

Ye Jingcheng smiled and clinked glasses, and the two began to drink.

Only Ye Jingyu was somewhat puzzled, but for Jin Yutang, it was already considered participating in a share of the Ye family's spiritual herbs, earning a kickback.

Although the Jin family was a Golden Core family with generous benefits, there would still be biases.

Jin Yutang would sell to others anyway, and selling to the Ye family could earn him more money, and he could even lower the price.

Making it more affordable for the Ye family.

Moreover, this amount of money was definitely not much for the Ye family, but in the future, Ye Jingcheng would have much more convenience in purchasing many spiritual herbs.

After all, this was in the name of the family, and it had nothing to do with him, Ye Jingcheng.
