The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Su Wuwang held the jade pendant engraved with the word "cold" and examined it three times.

She was well aware of the Xuanbing Palace and its master, Leng Rushuang's, reputation. Now that Shen Yifei actually possessed a token from the Xuanbing Palace, it seemed this guy had gained quite a bit from this trip.

"Are you sure you don't need to pay spirit stones to use this token?"

"Sister, Leng Rushuang said it herself, this token allows you to obtain medicinal herbs in any market."

"Leng Rushuang," Su Wuwang chuckled, "It's said that this woman is rather aloof, and most men can't get close to her. How could she possibly give you such a valuable token?"

"I cured Leng Rushuang's illness, and this token is my reward. She will come to Tianyan Sect to collect the antidote in two days. Sister, you can rest assured and bring me the spiritual herbs. Our Tianyan Sect urgently needs them."

Su Wuwang didn't press further. She was already used to Shen Yifei's various and unusual abilities. Ever since she met him, this guy had been constantly redefining her understanding of things.

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Su Wuwang set off immediately.

After Su Wuwang left, Shen Yifei pulled Yin Wuxie to his side.

The Blood Soul Sect was the first sect he accepted, and he and Yin Wuxie had a soul contract, but it seems that it is no longer needed now.

He pulled Yin Wuxie to his side, "Wuxie, there are some things that the Tianyan Sect still needs you to do."

After he finished speaking, he first formed a hand seal, and Yin Wuxie felt something in his sea of ​​consciousness crack open.

She paused for a moment, then understood.

Shen Yifei withdrew the soul contract between the two.

"From now on, you are free!"

"You...you really set me free?" Yin Wuxie's voice trembled slightly.

"Look at what you're saying. Even though there's a soul contract, when have you ever been free? Now that we're all family, we don't need a soul contract anymore."

"A family?" Yin Wuxie murmured.

Ever since Shen Yifei placed a soul contract in her body, she has always considered herself a servant. She doesn't dare utter a single word in front of him, after all, her life and death are entirely at his mercy.

In the cultivation world, a soul contract is the most ruthless way to manipulate people. Once it's planted, you're someone else's slave for life, with no control over your own life or death. Although Shen Yifei had never used the contract to blackmail her during the time she'd been with him, she still felt uneasy about it.

The stone is gone now.

"What's wrong? Too touched to speak?" Shen Yifei pulled her into a hug. "Don't get emotional yet. I'm counting on you to do things for me."

Yin Wuxie composed herself. "What do you want me to do?"

"Three things." Shen Yifei held up three fingers. "First, you're also skilled in alchemy. You used to refine blood pills, now we'll refine proper pills. I'll refine top-grade ones, you'll refine high-grade ones, we'll work together to fill the Tianyan Sect's pill storeroom. From now on, you'll be in charge of all pill refining and distribution for the Tianyan Sect."

Yin Wuxie pondered for a moment, then nodded. "That's no problem. I'll study refining proper pills; it should be fine. What's the second thing?"

"Secondly, you'll be in charge of tidying up these mountains. Look, your renovations are quite impressive. If you can meet that standard, renovate the entire Tianyan Sect as well."

"That's all?"

Shen Yifei nodded. "Remember, if you're going to repair it, repair it well. Don't let our reputation be tarnished when other sects come to Tianyan Sect to pay their respects in the future."

After Shen Yifei finished speaking, Yin Wuxie remained silent for a long time.

Shen Yifei thought she was touched, so he hugged her a little tighter. "Don't be touched, hurry up and get things done. I'm looking forward to moving into the new house."

Yin Wuxie raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I'm not just touched. How many spirit stones would it take to repair such a vast mountain?"

Shen Yifei had never really thought about this problem. He used to spend tens of thousands of spirit stones, but he could earn that back with just a few pills.

The estimated cost of repairing the entire Cangwu Mountain is over a million spirit stones.

He turned himself upside down, but could only scrape together a few thousand spirit stones, not even a fraction of what he needed.

But the words had already been spoken, and taking them back was not his style.

"Don't worry about the spirit stones, I'll figure that out." Shen Yifei patted Yin Wuxie on the shoulder. "You focus on planning, finding craftsmen where needed, buying materials where necessary, and the spirit stones will be ready soon!"

"Now I'll tell you the third thing. You will be in charge of all the pills in the Heavenly Evolution Sect. We will continue to expand the number of pharmacies, and each pharmacy will release two top-grade pills every month, each worth ten thousand spirit stones!"

Yin Wuxie could hardly believe his ears. "Ten thousand spirit stones per stone?"

"Yes, we used to price them too low. It was only after going out this time that I realized that top-grade pills are scarce in all sects."

Yin Wuxie nodded. "In this way, we'll have a source of spirit stones."

"Hehe, the key is that our costs are extremely low, so you can go ahead and do it without worry!"

Yin Wuxie accepted the order and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Shen Yifei added, "By the way, when our Tianyan Sect recruits disciples in the future, you keep an eye on things. We don't need many, just those with good aptitude. The men need to be handsome, and the women need to be beautiful!"

Yin Wuxie turned around and glared at him. "I have no objection. Just ask your wife for her consent!"

Shen Yifei stood alone at the entrance of the main hall, stretching.

After all that fuss, things have finally calmed down.

He looked down at the clothes he was wearing that Ye Qianqiu had torn to shreds, shook his head, and took out a new one from his storage ring to put on.

While changing his clothes, he touched the cool, slippery fabric on his chest, and the frosty hem of his skirt, which he still kept in his arms.

Next, refine the elixir and wait for Leng Rushuang to come to us.

If we can subdue Leng Rushuang, then we'll have taken over the Xuanbing Palace, and thus have the ability to compete with the Golden Crow Sect.

Gu Yunyan went back to the back mountain, Luo Qinghe guarded Xinghe, Su Wuwang went out to collect medicinal herbs, and Yin Wuxie went to arrange the repairs and alchemy.

Shen Yifei was a little unaccustomed to the sudden silence.

Meanwhile, the two powerful demon sisters were busy with something.

"Master, when you were fighting Ye Qianqiu just now, did you feel the black energy that surged out of your dantian?"

"I can feel it." Shen Yifei frowned slightly. "That black energy isn't the demonic energy I usually cultivate; it's much purer than that."

"Those two demon kings, Bai Lu and Leng Shan Yue, were watching from the shadows while you were fighting. I reckon they sensed it too."

Liu Mengli leaned on his shoulder, "Master, have you ever wondered how there could be something like that in your dantian? Even Ye Qianqiu is terrified of it?"

Shen Yifei did not answer.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it, it's that he dared not think about it.

The purity of that black aura was so high that even someone like him, who only had a superficial understanding of demons, could sense that something was amiss.

Gu Yunyan didn't say anything, perhaps because she wasn't sensitive to this demonic energy, after all, she was a demonic cultivator.

"I need to ask Bai Lu and Leng Shanyue to see what they have to say."
