A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Once the pills go on sale, he'll make a fortune.

On the other hand, it's also about creating momentum. The more people know about the power of the Qi-Nourishing Pill, the less likely anyone will dare to make any underhanded moves, because they will restrain each other.

Conversely, if we wait for customers to come to us before selling, as we did before, it will not only be inefficient, but it may also lead to a situation where the pills are bought up by certain people before the news even spreads.

That's when Taoism will be in real trouble.

"I understand, I will do my best."

Xiao Ling looked bitter and nodded. He had never done anything like this before, and he had to make it look like the information was accidentally leaked.

Seeing his expression, Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Let me give you a suggestion!"

"Please speak, Uncle-Master!"

"You know about spreading rumors, right?"

"what?"

"Propaganda is similar, especially propaganda like ours that is ambiguous and hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Just remember, Tianzong disciples should not get involved."

Bai Yuan gave Xiao Ling a look that said, "I believe in you," and gently patted her shoulder.

Xiao Ling nodded thoughtfully. Although Bai Yuan's analogy seemed a bit strange to him, upon closer reflection, what he was saying about publicity actually made a lot of sense.

Seeing that he had grasped the point, Bai Yuan didn't bring it up again.

At this moment, he glanced at Ji Mo Huaxue and Ningyan and thought about the accommodation.

Originally, only Ningyan lived with him, but now that Ji Mo Huaxue has joined them, it's not very convenient for them to continue living in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Then he instructed Xiaoling:

"While you're looking for a shop, also help me find a place to stay. I'm planning to move out of Xiaoshengxianzhuang."

After listening, Xiaoling looked at the three of them and then understood what he meant, so she quickly nodded.

I will arrange this as soon as possible!

In his mind, this matter had already been prioritized over finding a shop.

After agreeing on the terms, Bai Yuan spent some time writing a secret letter, which also included a recipe for a Qi-Nourishing Pill. He then handed the letter to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling carefully put it away and planned to have someone take it back to Taiyi Mountain first thing tomorrow morning.

Bai Yuan didn't stay there long and returned with Ji Mo Hua Xue and Ning Yan.

On the way, Ningyan asked him curiously, "The elixir you were just talking about, is it the one you got back in Daliang?"

Although she knew about the elixir, she was unaware of its effects and had never asked about it.

Seeing the Taoists' reaction, she realized that the elixir was probably not simple.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded: "That's right, aren't you curious about its effects?"

"Yes."

Ningyan answered expressionlessly, which surprised Bai Yuan somewhat.

However, he didn't beat around the bush and explained to the two of them.

"This pill is actually the one I gave to Uncle Jimo the day before yesterday. It can replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body."

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue looked puzzled when they heard this. This shouldn't be anything serious, right?

However, Bai Yuan hadn't finished speaking.

"It also has another effect: it can improve the efficiency of cultivating internal energy techniques for a certain period of time."

Upon hearing this, both of them were greatly shocked and stopped in their tracks.

No wonder Taoists value this Qi-nourishing pill so much; if word of its effects were to spread, countless people would flock to it.

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Bai Yuan couldn't help but reach out and gently flick their noses.

"Alright, this is nothing. You'll be shocked in the future."

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Bai Yuan always felt like he had forgotten something, but he just couldn't remember it.

He only remembered it when he returned to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"I completely forgot to ask my senior brother if he had avenged me!"

So much time has passed since he wrote that letter of complaint, and Chishongzi hasn't responded at all. He's starting to doubt whether Chishongzi still cares about him as his junior brother.

The secret letter Chishongzi just sent him didn't mention this matter at all; it was all about the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue were both puzzled: "Revenge? What revenge?"

Bai Yuan gave Ningyan a playful smile.

"Of course, it's to avenge the assassination attempt on me by the Luo Wang! You know, I was assassinated twice! So when I was in Daliang, I wrote a letter to my senior brother, asking him to avenge me."

Upon hearing this, Ningyan blushed slightly, as she was the one who carried out both assassination attempts.

Unaware of the truth, Ji Mo Huaxue asked with concern, "Were you assassinated by the Luo Wang organization before?"

"Yes! You have no idea how ruthless and unreasonable that assassin was. Even though I wasn't her target, she just..."

As Bai Yuan was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and stopped talking.

He had just publicly recounted Ningyan's glorious act of execution; if he continued, he feared he would be silenced tonight.

But Ji Mo Huaxue didn't know any of this and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Bai Yuan coughed lightly twice: "It's nothing. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it when I have the chance later."

He quickly changed the subject and then touched his stomach.

"It's getting late, Ningyan, why don't you go and cook?"

"Do it yourself today!"

Ningyan snorted coldly, then pulled the still bewildered Jimo Huaxue into the room.

Speaking ill of her, and you still want to eat her cooking? Dream on!

Watching the two leave, Bai Yuan rubbed his forehead. It seemed there was no hope of eating Ningyan's cooking tonight; he would have to fend for himself.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Bai Yuan discovered some usable ingredients, so he casually picked out a few things and prepared to cook a few simple dishes.

Xue'er sat quietly to the side, tilting her head as she watched him busy himself.

Before long, Bai Yuan successfully cooked two delicious dishes, one of which was of white quality and the other of green quality.

Since his cooking skills improved, his chances of obtaining green quality food have also greatly increased.

The description of the dish with green quality was also quite interesting, and Bai Yuan was both amused and exasperated after seeing it.

[Name]: Forgive Him for Frying Fish (Green)

[Entry]: Of course, forgive him (green)

【Of course, forgive him】: No matter how angry the other person is, after eating this golden fried fish, they will become calm and peaceful because of the delicious taste, and then choose to forgive you.

Even the system couldn't stand it anymore, so it specially made him make this dish to beg for forgiveness!

Bai Yuan put the dish aside for the time being, and then continued to look at the pot on the stove, in which a pot of tofu soup was simmering.

He stirred the soup while watching the flames.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to try adding some strange fire while cooking the soup.

how?

With his current level of internal energy, it would be a bit of a stretch for him to cook a dish entirely using a different kind of fire, but if he were to supplement it with ordinary fire, adding just a trace of a different kind of fire, he should be able to manage.

Without hesitation, Bai Yuan stirred his mind and mobilized a wisp of Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Soon, a ball of azure flame surged from his lower dantian and traveled along the meridians in his body to his hand.

This flame is only the size of a fingertip and looks inconspicuous, but its power should not be underestimated.

When the extraordinary fire appeared, all ordinary fires bowed down in submission.

Bai Yuan carefully controlled the temperature of the strange fire, sending it into the stove fire, where it participated in the stewing process under the warmth of the ordinary fire.

The temperature of the strange fire was somewhat beyond Bai Yuan's imagination. As soon as it was put in, the soup suddenly boiled, bubbling continuously, and the vaporized soup formed white smoke that floated upwards.

Bai Yuan quickly withdrew his power and weakened the Azure Lotus Flame again, otherwise the tofu soup would be nothing but tofu in a while.

During the process of stewing this tofu soup, Bai Yuan dared not be distracted at all, even more so than when he was refining pills.

The energy expenditure was also much greater than when he was refining pills.

Fortunately, stewing soup doesn't take as long as alchemy. Before long, Bai Yuan saw a light more dazzling than ever before appear in the pot, and at the same time, he received a system notification.

The soup is ready!

[Congratulations on successfully cooking a blue-quality food! The recipe has been recorded. Cooking experience +3]

[Name]: Beauty and Nourishing White Jade Soup (Blue)

[Entry]: White jade nourishes the body (blue), radiant complexion (green)

【White Jade Nourishes the Body】: A small amount of unusual fire was used during the stewing process, which caused a magical change in the entire pot of soup. The originally ordinary tofu is now transformed into white jade tofu containing the essence of the earth. Long-term consumption can make men more handsome than Pan An and women more beautiful than Xi Shi, and can even achieve a certain degree of anti-aging effect.

[Radiant Complexion]: This soup contains a small amount of the earth's essence, which can make people radiant and more attractive for a certain period of time.

Upon seeing the two entries, one blue and one green, Bai Yuan immediately beamed with joy.

Although he felt a bit tired, as if he had refined two batches of Qi-Nourishing Pills in a row, which was very taxing, the result was very gratifying.

This is a delicacy that cannot be cooked with ordinary fire!

Through this experiment, he also began to speculate about more sophisticated cuisine.

Unsurprisingly, ordinary fire alone cannot cook dishes with blue attributes; a different kind of fire is required.

The effects of this [Beauty and Skin Nourishing Jade Soup] are irresistible, not to mention women, even a grown man like him.

Would anyone complain about being too handsome?

After ladling out the soup, Bai Yuan carried all the dishes to a stone table in the courtyard. He saw that Xue'er had already run over and was serving the dishes, seemingly wanting to taste them as well, so he couldn't help but smile.
