During this period of time, due to the news of the high-grade Qi Refining Pill being auctioned off at the auction house, the Cloud Workshop Market became abnormally lively. Cultivators from different places rushed to the market city almost every day.

Ever since Xu Fan had organized a pill sale at the Pleasing Hut, the boss of the Cloudburst Inn had a whole new level of respect for him and Xia Weiwei. Not only did he take the initiative to change their rooms to high-grade ones, but he also insisted on not taking any spirit stones from them.

In reality, Xu Fan also knew that the main reason the inn treated him like this was because he could concoct pills. Also, because he was selling pills and making a substitute for them, the inn benefited greatly from his treatment.

He and Xia Weiwei would naturally not reject such a good opportunity. Thus, the two of them had long since changed their weapons and moved to the tavern's most high-class rooms.

Not only was this high-grade room spacious, the environment was good, and there was also a small-sized Spirit Convergence Array. Moreover, there was a high-grade protection array outside the door, and if a person entered this room, they would not only be safe, comfortable, but also have sufficient spirit energy to cultivate, and they could not be disturbed.

Originally, Xu Fan had come out to look for Xia Weiwei, but when he arrived in front of Xia Weiwei's room, he discovered that the array formation outside her room was still closed. She was probably still refining her magic tool, so she didn't disturb him and directly left, preparing to deliver the pill she had been entrusted with two days ago and receive the new pill refining materials.

With Xu Fan's current success rate, using alchemy pills in place of other alchemists was incredibly profitable. On the surface, it seemed like he was helping someone else, but in reality, they were giving him free herbs and elixirs, and in the end, even giving him spirit stones.

Naturally, this fellow would not let such a good thing go. Fortunately, this fellow wasn't too greedy. He still insisted on receiving only twenty sets of ingredients a day.

These days, he had also concocted pills for quite a few people, but there were still many people coming and going to the Pleasing Hut. Every day, there would be quite a few rogue cultivators who would come to line up with the spiritual herbs they had painstakingly collected; their goal was to have Xu Fan, the high-level disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, concoct pills in their stead.

When Xu Fan arrived at the inn's main hall, there were already over ten rogue cultivators waiting there. As soon as he appeared, an old man who had been waiting for a while immediately came over with a smile.

"Brother Liu, I wonder if you can accept this old one's ingredients today?" This old one urgently needs to refine some pills. "

When the old man who was walking toward him saw Xu Fan, he impatiently asked.

Xu Fan could see that as the old man spoke, his eyes were filled with intense hope.

Oi, Old man Ma, you can't do this. We've all come here before you, don't you know that Brother Liu has set a queue for him to make medicinal pellets? Right now, Brother Liu only accepts twenty sets of materials per day.

However, before Xu Fan could open his mouth to speak, a middle-aged man immediately cried out in dissatisfaction.

Xu Fan looked at the two of them. The old man was also at the 3rd level of the Qi Cultivation stage, while the middle-aged man was at the 6th level. No wonder this middle-aged man dared to openly express his dissatisfaction.

The old man that the middle-aged man called old man Ma seemed to know that he was in the wrong, or perhaps he was afraid of the middle-aged man, so he opened his mouth and didn't argue.

However, according to Xu Fan's rules of only receiving twenty sets of materials a day, there were more than ten people queuing up in front of this old man. Even if each person only received one set of materials, he still wouldn't have the right to do so today.

For some reason, Xu Fan saw a deep helplessness and a thirst for medicinal pills in the old man's eyes. He seemed to see a desire to break through to the fourth layer, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. He walked over, smiled, and asked, "Old man, do you need to refine Qi Cultivation Powder?

The elder's eyes lit up as he hurriedly said, "Brother Liu, this old man urgently needs to refine some Qi Training Pills. Little brother, you …" Thinking that he had come too late today, there were still a dozen people waiting to be refined, so the elder stopped himself from speaking.

Xu Fan was very confused. "Old man, I saw that you are only at the 3rd level of the Qi Cultivation stage. Why would you want to concoct a Qi Cultivation Pill?"

Under the 4th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage, one could usually use the Qi Cultivation Powder to increase their cultivation speed. As for the Qi Cultivation Pill, it was usually only used after reaching the 6th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Of course, it didn't mean that low-level cultivators couldn't use Qi Cultivation Pills to cultivate. For example, some large cultivation families focused on nurturing their disciples, after they reached the fifth level of Qi Disciple, they would be able to use mid-tier Qi Refining Pills or low-tier Qi Cultivation Pills to cultivate.

The effects and speed of using Qi Training Pills were naturally much better than Qi Cultivation Pills. However, the quality of the herbs needed to concoct Qi Training Pills was much higher, and it also required quite a few valuable spiritual herbs to assist in concocting pills. Just the price of concocting a batch of pills was more than two hundred spirit stones, and it didn't even need to be said that it would be consumed during the process of concocting pills.

Based on the old man's cultivation level and identity, under normal circumstances, he should have gone to Xu Fan to refine some Qi Cultivating Powder. Therefore, Xu Fan asked him this question out of curiosity.

The old man might have seen hope from Xu Fan, but he forced out a smile and said, "Brother Liu, the pill this old man entrusted you to refine is not for your own use. The old man might have seen hope from Xu Fan, and he forced out a smile and said," Brother Liu, the pill this old man entrusted you to refine is not for your own use.

The old man's eyes lit up with pride when he mentioned his granddaughter.

"Old man Ma, your granddaughter is only 15 years old, and she's actually about to break through to the fifth floor?"

The previous middle-aged man who had been dissatisfied with the old man cutting in line immediately exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, the old man felt as if his spirit had arrived. His face immediately lit up, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He said proudly, "That's right, Ling'er is at a critical point in her cultivation. That's why this old man is in such a hurry."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately changed his tone and smile, and chuckled, "Good old man Ma, I didn't expect you to hide your granddaughter so well. I presume you plan on letting her break through the fifth layer to participate in the disciple recruitment event of the five great Immortal Cultivation Sects?"

Ke ke, Fellow Qiu, you should also know that the Five Great Immortal Sects only have one disciple recruitment event, and that this is a great opportunity for us rogue cultivators. Last time, I did not get the chance to join one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, so this time, I must let Ling'er have a better chance.

The old man let out a soft sigh. His tone contained an indescribable feeling of vicissitudes.

"You old guy, why didn't you say that earlier? Since it's like this, I'll give you my position. Today, I'll let you entrust the refining process to Brother Liu."

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to be afraid that the old man would decline and immediately gave up his seat to pull the old man over.

"In that case, this old man thanks Fellow Daoist Qiu!"

The old man looked extremely grateful.

"Hahaha, a small matter. A small matter. You and I have known each other for many years. There is no need to care about such a small thing."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily as if he had been friends with the old man for many years. The change in attitude between him and the old man was so great that it was like a 180 degree turn.

Xu Fan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. He muttered to himself, "How come the attitude of this middle-aged man changed so quickly?"

Recalling the contents of their conversation, the man suddenly came to a realization and immediately understood the man surnamed Qiu's intentions. In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh; in this cultivation world, strength was the only thing that mattered, even if you temporarily lacked strength.

Xu Fan shook his head. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal this. His heart had originally been moved to help old man Ma concoct pills, and now he just so happened to receive his pill refining ingredients.
