The young masters whose names were called by Qin Changye froze on the spot.

They slowly turned around, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Young Master Tang, the Spirit Communicating Pill you sold me earlier was priced at a full 3,000 spirit stones higher than the market price. Including interest, 5,000 spirit stones wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?"

"Young Master Wang, if I remember correctly, you bought the armor for 1,000 spirit stones and resold it to me for 3,000 spirit stones. Shouldn't you make up the 2,000 spirit stone difference? With interest, 4,000 spirit stones would be enough for you."

"Young Master Zhao, you've cheated me more often than I have. I'll give you 5,000 spirit stones, and I'll take the loss. I'll give you a 12% discount, plus interest, so give me 20,000 spirit stones."

……

Qin Changye spoke calmly and slowly, but Tang Sanshao and the others turned pale. This was even more ruthless than Yang Gaoli!

Young Master Zhao, in particular, was quite frustrated. He had never seen a 12% discount before.

"What? You're not going to give it back to me?"

Qin Changye slowly raised the whip in his hand, his voice suddenly turning cold.

"No, no!"

The tragic state of Zhen Renyi was still vivid in their minds, so how could Tang Sanshao and the others dare to be negligent? They immediately shook their heads vigorously and hurriedly took out their spatial rings to offer the owed spirit stones with both hands.

Qin Changye smiled and accepted the spirit stones, but he was still in no hurry to leave, his gaze falling on the crowd again.

This time, the focus shifted past the well-dressed young men and onto the distinguished old men.

Marquis of Zhennan, Duke of Li, Minister of Rites Gao...

They are all important figures in the capital, and of course, they are all very wealthy!

They had also come to Wanbaoge to buy medicine, and when they heard someone causing trouble in front of the door, they came over to see what was going on.

Now that the excitement is over, I'm getting ready to leave.

"Please wait, everyone."

Qin Changye's voice rang out.

The bigwigs stopped in their tracks at the same time, with Marquis Zhennan frowning first: "Qin Changye, we've never cheated you out of your spirit stones."

"You've misunderstood, I'm not asking you for money."

Qin Changye smiled warmly, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze: "I'm asking you for a gift."

"A wedding gift?"

"What kind of betrothal gift?"

The bigwigs were dumbfounded.

Qin Changye explained in detail: "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Qingcheng, who has defeated the enemy army, is already on her way back to the capital. She may return to the capital tomorrow. So, at the earliest, I will marry Zhao Qingcheng tomorrow night."

"This is a marriage personally bestowed by Her Majesty the Empress. You are all pillars of the court, and you have just happened to be here today. It would be inappropriate not to offer a gift, wouldn't it?"

As he spoke, Qin Changye casually waved the imperial edict in his hand, his tone becoming more forceful: "Of course, you may not give me, Qin Changye, any face, but you must give face to my fiancée, Zhao Qingcheng, and to my matchmaker, Her Majesty the Empress, right?"

The expressions on the faces of the several bigwigs immediately changed.

What does it mean to give a gift when you meet someone?

This is clearly highway robbery!

However, since Qin Changye brought up the Goddess of Slaughter and Her Majesty the Empress, they dared not disrespect him.

Marquis Zhennan gritted his teeth, opened his spatial ring, and took out three thousand spirit stones: "This is just a small gift, please accept it."

"This gift is indeed quite meager."

Qin Changye clearly felt that three thousand coins was too little, and couldn't help but look at Xiuer next to him: "Later, we will go to the most prosperous central square in the capital and erect a gift money stele to write down the amount of gifts given by each big shot, so that the whole city can check it."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several important figures immediately changed.

Gift monument?

And it's being publicized throughout the city?

This is forcing them to give more gifts!

After all, if they give too little as a gift, the whole city will say that they are disrespecting the Goddess of Slaughter, or even disrespecting Her Majesty the Empress.

"Qin...nephew, marriage is a major life event. I've thought about it, and three thousand spirit stones is too little. I'm going to add another five thousand spirit stones, no, I'll add another seven thousand spirit stones to make it a round number, so I'll give you ten thousand as a gift."

After a slight hesitation, Marquis Zhennan opened his spatial ring again and gritted his teeth to take out another seven thousand spirit stones.

With him taking the lead, the Duke of Li and others, who were originally prepared to give away several thousand spirit stones, all gritted their teeth and directly gave a gift of ten thousand spirit stones.

Ten thousand spirit stones wasn't a large sum for them, but losing it all for nothing still stung.

If they had known they would have to pay to watch the spectacle, they would never have come over.

There's no such thing as free entertainment!

On the contrary, Xiu'er, who was following behind Qin Changye to collect spirit stones, was all smiles.

She couldn't help but give Qin Changye a thumbs up: "Young Master, you're really good at making money!"

After Qin Wuyai died in battle, the Qin Prince's mansion became deserted. Not to mention the marquises and dukes, even the young masters and nobles didn't take the Qin Prince's mansion seriously.

Today, Qin Changye, all by himself, knocked on the bamboo poles of all these important figures.

Those usually high and mighty big shots, who now dislike Qin Changye but dare not touch him, are absolutely thrilled.

"I'm off to buy medicine."

Having made a fortune, Qin Changye certainly wouldn't forget that his purpose in going out today was to purchase the medicinal materials needed to awaken the Holy Bone.

The moment I turned and entered the Wanbao Pavilion, I could clearly feel many eyes behind me filled with resentment, fear, or anticipation of a good show, like thorns in my back.

Qin Changye sneered inwardly. They were probably all waiting to see that on their wedding day, he would be struck by phoenix-shaped lightning like Zhao Qingcheng's other fiancés, his ashes scattered everywhere.

Then they were destined to be disappointed.

On her wedding day, she will not only survive, but will also turn misfortune into good fortune and advance even further.

An hour later, when Qin Changye came out of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion, there were nearly a hundred more medicinal herbs in his spatial ring.

These nearly one hundred medicinal herbs cost almost 500,000 spirit stones. Only eight of them were used to awaken the sacred bone; the rest were buried by Qin Changye in the first level of the Burial Immortal Tower.

The red burial soil on the first level of the Burial Tower is incredibly effective; burying medicinal herbs in it for one day is equivalent to a year of growth in the outside world.

After the medicinal herbs are dug out, a wisp of celestial energy will appear inside them, and under the influence of this celestial energy, the grade and efficacy of the medicinal herbs will be improved.

In just a few days, these medicinal herbs will be dug up again, and their price will at least double.

This is definitely a sure-fire way to make a fortune!

In addition to these medicinal herbs, Qin Changye also spent more than 200,000 spirit stones to purchase many materials for shaping his physical body.

Qin Changye kept his word and promised to return to the Myriad Weapons Diagram a month later to help the seven female ghosts rebuild their bodies; he would not break his promise.

Unfortunately, the materials needed to create the physical body were too numerous and varied, and the Wanbao Pavilion did not have them all.

There were still some rare materials left, which Qin Changye had already given to Li Yourong.

Li Yourong then used the main building of the Misty Rain Pavilion in the Imperial City to spread the word to the branches of the Misty Rain Pavilion in various cities, offering to buy these materials at high prices.

The Misty Rain Pavilion is scattered throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its acquisition capabilities are terrifying. It probably won't be long before it can be collected.

At that time, Qin Changye will be able to re-enter the Myriad Weapons Diagram in less than a month...

By the time they returned to the Prince of Qin's residence, night had already fallen.

Qin Changye set up a large iron pot in his small courtyard and boiled water.

Then he opened his spatial ring and took out all eight medicinal herbs at once.

Three-hundred-year-old fire lingzhi.

Five hundred years old golden crow grass.

Eight hundred years old Blazing Sun Grass.

……

Each herb is worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones and is an essential medicine for refining the Holy Bone Awakening.

At this moment, Qin Changye casually chopped them up with a knife and threw them all into the large iron pot.

Then cover the pot with the lid and continue cooking.

Today, the great elixir can be refined, and the sacred bone can be awakened!

Ren Pingsheng, standing to the side, stared in disbelief and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you cooking something?"

Just now, seeing Qin Changye take out a lot of medicinal herbs, looking like he was about to have a big refining session, Ta Ye and Li Yourong, who weren't interested in refining medicine, went to practice their skills in the neighboring courtyard.

Xiuer also picked up a purple sledgehammer and started swinging it intently in the willow grove next to the courtyard. She smashed a century-old willow tree with one blow and was having a great time swinging it.

Only Ren Pingsheng, a fourth-grade alchemist, was most interested in alchemy and looked over with great interest.

But looking at it now is worse than not looking at it at all.

He regretted staying; he should have gone to the neighboring courtyard to practice his skills.

Meeting Ren Pingsheng's speechless gaze, Qin Changye solemnly corrected him: "No, I'm refining pills!"

The most important aspects of alchemy are the quality and control of the fire, and have little to do with external objects such as the alchemy furnace.

Moreover, Qin Changye refined too many medicinal herbs at once, which ordinary alchemy furnaces could not contain.

A large iron pot would be perfect!

Ren Pingsheng was once again dumbfounded.

Cutting open a centuries-old medicinal herb like a cabbage and then boiling it in a large iron pot... You call that alchemy?

This is clearly throwing spirit stones down the drain, isn't it?

No, skipping stones at least lets you see a splash.

This is pure defeat!

"Your Highness, alchemy is a sacred, complex, and difficult art. Are you sure you know how to do it?"

After much deliberation, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but speak up.

He was heartbroken to watch Qin Changye squander money!

He couldn't resist the urge to try it himself!

"A little bit," Qin Changye replied casually.

Ren Pingsheng didn't say anything more, but he was completely unconvinced.

If Qin Changye could really refine pills using a giant iron pot, the sun would probably rise in the south.
