My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Leaving Yinyue Community.

Gu Qing browsed around the Spirit Realm for a while and then decided to go to the Herb Shop.

Baicaofang is the city's high-end elixir trading area, selling only elixirs for cultivators, and entry requires second-class citizen status.

Compared to the densely populated Yinyue residential area, Baicaofang is located in the suburbs.

Many cultivators do not like densely populated urban areas.

Some cultivators of extraordinary status even voluntarily seclude themselves in sacred caves, getting closer to the Great Dao and nature.

……

Soon, Gu Qing arrived at Baicaofang.

"I remember He Lou's family ran a medicine shop in Baicaofang."

"Okay, let's go check out their house first."

He Lou was Gu Qing's best friend in high school. The two had similar grades and were even deskmates.

He Lou comes from a wealthy family, but he doesn't have the arrogance typical of rich kids.

He was one of Gu Qing's few good friends.

only……

His best friend got into the Immortal Kingdom University, but he became a mercenary for the Immortal Wood Group.

Miaodan Pavilion.

Gu Qing walked in, and although he was dressed plainly, no one dared to ignore him.

Those who can come to this place must all be cultivators.

"Sir, what type of pills would you like to buy?"

As soon as Gu Qing entered, a salesperson came up to greet her.

This salesperson has bright eyes and white teeth, a tall figure, and wears a slightly tight uniform, making her cleavage quite eye-catching.

"I need elixirs to increase my spiritual power."

Compared to spirit stones, elixirs have a gentler spiritual energy, and their effects are more powerful and longer-lasting.

"no problem."

"The Myriad Pills Pavilion has dozens of kinds of pills suitable for Qi Refining stage cultivators."

"Qi Gathering Pill, a first-grade, first-level pill, whose main ingredients are Spirit Gathering Grass and Demon Companion Grass. This pill has a mild medicinal effect and almost no side effects, but its effect will gradually weaken as cultivation level increases."

"Qi Refining Pill, a first-grade, third-level pill, with Qi Refining Grass as its main ingredient. This pill is an important auxiliary pill for Qi Refining cultivators to break through their cultivation stages."

"Yellow Dragon Pill, a first-grade, seventh-level pill, its main ingredients are Yellow Dragon Vine and Spirit Milk. This pill can greatly increase the speed of spiritual energy circulation and improve cultivation in a short period of time, but its medicinal power is quite potent..."

"..."

The following is a list of pills suitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

The salesperson paused, then spoke again:

"The same type of elixir is divided into two grades: ordinary and premium."

"Ordinary pills are produced using Taoist techniques on an assembly line, making them relatively inexpensive. However, consuming large quantities of pills in a short period can increase the user's resistance and carries the risk of accumulating erysipelas."

"Premium pills are made by alchemists themselves, with subtle adjustments made according to the medicinal properties of each herb. Premium pills all have pill spirit patterns, bringing out the spirituality of the herbs to the extreme, with almost no pill toxin residue, and the growth of medicinal resistance is also very slow."

"However, the price of high-quality pills..."

As the salesperson continued to introduce various pills to Gu Qing, he secretly glanced at the man in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

After introducing it for so long, I haven't seen this person place an order yet. Is he really here to buy pills?

It wasn't that the salesperson looked down on Gu Qing, but most people who came here to buy pills would compare prices from different vendors.

Those customers who are truly in dire need of the pills don't ask too many questions; most of them just walk into the store and buy them.

However, judging from Gu Qing's serious expression, it didn't seem like he had come specifically to ask about the price.

Do we really want to buy it?

Thinking of this, the bright-eyed and beautiful saleswoman once again tried to get closer to Gu Qing, almost to the point of throwing her ambitious business plans at Gu Qing.

"Give me one bottle of regular Huanglongdan and one bottle of premium Huanglongdan."

After thinking it over, Gu Qing decided to use the Yellow Dragon Pill.

After all, he only has one month left before he has to participate in the second mercenary trial.

As for the difference between ordinary Huanglongdan and premium Huanglongdan, it is necessary to try them before making a judgment.

"Um, two bottles?"

The salesperson was overjoyed, but still confirmed it again.

Her voice trembled slightly.

Having been at Miaodan Pavilion for almost a month, this was the first time she had sold a high-quality pill.

"Buy two bottles."

"However, it seems your Miaodan Pavilion has a partnership with the Xianmu Group, right?"

"The regular pills in your shop are all sourced from the Immortal Wood Group. It seems that this badge of mine can get me a 40% discount on pills."

Gu Qing took out the Mercenary Trial Top Ten Rookie Medal, its strange material gleaming with a special light.

"Well……"

"Sir, you...you are the top rookie in the Xianmu Group's mercenary trials?"

The salesperson's eyes suddenly widened, and he stammered.

She never imagined that she would meet one of the top ten rising stars in the history of Xianmu Group!

……

At the entrance of Miaodan Pavilion.

He Lou, who had just returned from his holiday, followed behind a beautiful young woman. Looking at the woman in front of him, He Lou couldn't help but sigh.

The difference between an ordinary university and one of the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom is like heaven and earth.

His older sister has put a lot of pressure on him since he was a child.

Enter the Myriad Elixir Pavilion.

He Lou glanced around casually.

"Hey, isn't that Gu Qingyao!"

"We agreed to go to university together, but I never expected this kid to fail his college entrance exam and become cannon fodder mercenaries..."

"Thank goodness, the kid finally came back alive."

Hearing He Lou's soft murmur, the young woman in front of him paused, then turned around and said:

"Xiao Louzi, do you know that person?"

"Um, we know each other."

"He was my best friend in high school."

He Lou was quite surprised. Why would this proud older sister be interested in a mediocre student?

What she disliked most in the past was He Lou hanging out with ordinary people.

What happened next made He Lou's eyes widen in surprise.

The older sister smiled and walked up to Gu Qing, greeting her with a smile, "Hello, I heard you're He Lou's classmate."

"I am his older sister, He Wei."

"Nice to meet you."

hiss--

Oh My God.

What's gotten into my older sister today? She actually went out of her way to get to know this academically challenged student.

Based on He Lou's understanding of her, unless someone is from one of the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom, this older sister would most likely not remember other people's names.

He Lou racked his brains but couldn't understand why Gu Qing could catch her eye.

the other side.

Gu Qing didn't notice that He Lou was standing behind her.

Gu Qing was somewhat surprised when the young woman took the initiative to greet him.

He immediately thought of He Lou's previous complaint that his academically gifted older sister had always gotten full marks on tests since childhood. Her total score of 750 in the Immortal Path was not her upper limit, but the upper limit of the college entrance examination.

"Hello, Sister He!!"

Gu Qing didn't understand why she suddenly approached him, but he still greeted her.

"hehe……"

He Wei chuckled softly.

"Since you are classmate He Lou, I will give you two bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills as a gift."

"He Lou is back from his holiday too."

"You guys chat, I won't disturb you!"

"He Lou?"

Upon hearing He Wei's words, Gu Qingchao looked around and then saw He Lou standing behind him.

After He Wei went up to the second floor.

He Lou relaxed and went to Gu Qing's side, putting his arm around Gu Qing's shoulder.

"You little brat, we agreed to go to college together..."

"Um?!"

He Lou only noticed the strange medal that Gu Qing was holding halfway through his sentence.

His body shuddered immediately.

He pointed at Gu Qing, dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to react.

"You little rascal, I was worried you'd die in the mercenary trial mission, but I never expected you'd actually win the title of one of the top ten new talents in this year's mercenary trial."

"Fourth place again!!"

"No wonder my sister looks at you with such respect."

"Damn it, you little rascal, you caused such a big mess without making a sound."

"Brother, I'm suffering inside..."
