Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

"Young Miss, quickly give the young master this essence-nourishing pill."

Chen Qiaoqian was stunned for a moment after receiving the pill, but she didn't think much of it and immediately gave it to Chen Qiaotian.

At this moment, everyone was watching Chen Qiaotian with tension.

Chen Qiaotian is the most outstanding cultivator among the younger generation of the Chen family.

He has already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment at a young age.

There is a high chance that he will be able to form a golden core in the future.

If something happens to him today.

That would be a huge loss for the entire Chen family.

Fortunately, Ye Ming's essence-nourishing pills were extremely effective.

As the pill spread throughout Chen Qiaotian's body.

Chen Qiaotian's originally deathly pale face gradually regained its color.

Seeing this, Chen Qiaoqian and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Chen Qiaoqian suddenly remembered something.

She turned to Uncle Chen and asked, "Uncle Chen, I noticed that the essence-nourishing pill I just took was very potent and had a strong medicinal fragrance. Was it recently made by the alchemists in our family?"

Uncle Chen shook his head with a wry smile: "How could those half-baked alchemists in the family refine such a top-grade pill? It was just sold to us by that senior!"

"Fortunately, we have this senior's elixir, otherwise the young master's injuries would be in serious trouble."

Upon hearing Uncle Chen's words, everyone else present immediately turned their attention to Ye Ming.

Chen Qiaoqian hurriedly walked up to Ye Ming and clasped her hands in thanks: "Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist."

Ye Ming smiled faintly: "The pills have already been sold to you, so they are yours. Why are you thanking me?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Qiaotian lying on the ground: "By the way, it seems your older brother has also been poisoned. You'd better give him another Qingling Powder."

"what?"

Chen Qiaoqian's expression changed.

Just then, Chen Qiaotian also woke up.

However, the first thing he did upon waking up was to suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood onto the ground.

The black blood was still emitting wisps of green vapor.

These are clearly symptoms of severe poisoning.

After vomiting blood, Chen Qiaotian immediately lost consciousness again.

"Uncle Chen, do you still have Qingling Powder in the shop?"

Before Chen Qiaoqian could think any further, she quickly looked at Uncle Chen and asked.

Yes, yes, yes...

In a flurry of activity, Uncle Chen immediately handed over a bottle of Qingling Powder.

what?

A whole bottle of Qingling Powder?

Chen Qiaoqian's pupils suddenly contracted.

This Qingling Powder is a miraculous antidote, capable of curing all poisons in the world.

She remembered that her family's pharmacy shouldn't have much stock left.

Why didn't Uncle Chen go and look around at the counter?

He immediately pulled a bottle out of his hand.

Moreover, the medicinal power of these Qingling Powders is extremely potent.

I could smell the medicinal fragrance inside the medicine bottle even through it.

Is it possible?

Chen Qiaoqian vaguely realized something and subconsciously glanced at Ye Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, is this Cleansing Spirit Powder also yours?"

"That's it."

Chen Qiaoqian was slightly taken aback.

That’s right?

What kind of answer is this?

“Young Miss, this senior not only sold us Qingling Powder and Yangjing Pill, but also Foundation Building Pill and Marrow Strengthening Pill, and all of the pills are of the highest quality.”

Just then, Uncle Chen suddenly spoke up and said something that made everyone in the room gasp.

what?

So many pills?

And they're all top-quality?

Could this fellow Daoist be a master alchemist?

Think of this.

Chen Qiaoqian quickly bowed respectfully to Ye Ming, saying, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you are an alchemist?"

Ye Ming nodded noncommittally: "Yes."

Chen Qiaoqian was overjoyed upon hearing this.

She carefully examined Ye Ming's attire, then asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you a rogue cultivator?"

"That's it."

“Excellent! Would you be willing to become a guest elder of my Chen family? My Chen family will certainly treat you with the highest level of courtesy.”

Upon hearing that Ye Ming was still a rogue cultivator, Chen Qiaoqian immediately extended an olive branch to him.

Seeing this, Uncle Chen, who was standing behind, nodded.

Well done, young lady!

This senior was able to produce so many top-grade pills at once.

Now, it's immediately obvious that the young master has been poisoned.

He was clearly a master alchemist.

If we could invite them to the Chen family.

This would be extremely beneficial to our Chen family!

...

P.S.: Prices in the original novel experienced a severe collapse later on, so I've slightly adjusted them here. This won't affect the reading experience. Also, please note that this is a harem story, a harem story, a harem story, so please stop asking if it's a single-female lead. All the beautiful female cultivators will be included, except for Yunlu!

Chapter 056: Maybe he'll become our Chen family's son-in-law someday!

"A guest of the Chen family?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected Chen Qiaoqian to be so direct.

This was my first time dealing with the Chen family.

The other party wanted to invite him to be a guest elder.

Isn't this too childish?

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and I have already established my foundation. Within the family, I have the right to extend invitations to others as guest elders!"

Seemingly noticing Ye Ming's concern, Chen Qiaoqian quickly added an explanation.

"If you are willing to become a guest elder of my Chen family, you may use any of the herbs in my Chen family's medicine hall!"

"Furthermore, within Jingzhou City, the Chen family will treat you as an honored guest, and our clan members will be at your beck and call."

"Of course, you can also receive monthly offerings from the Chen family, including spirit stones and herbs."

While Chen Qiaoqian was talking about the benefits of becoming a guest of the Chen family, she was also secretly observing Ye Ming's attitude.

She is very nervous right now.

If this master alchemist could agree to become a guest retainer of the Chen family...

The elders in that clan will definitely look at her with new respect.

At that time, she might even be able to take control of her marriage.

There's no need to arrange marriages with male cultivators from other families anymore.

The thought of this.

Chen Qiaoqian was even more eager to hear Ye Ming's answer.

However...

"Sorry, I've always been a lazy person, so becoming a guest retainer is out of the question!"

Ye Ming smiled and declined Chen Qiaoqian's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian's delicate face immediately showed an expression of utter disappointment.

And just then.

Another voice suddenly rang in her ear:

"However, I will be staying in Jingzhou for a while. Could your Chen family provide me with a quiet place to stay?"

"In return, I can refine a pill for your Chen family for free, but you will need to provide the materials and the formula yourself."

Chen Qiaoqian was overjoyed.

She quickly cupped her hands in greeting to Ye Ming: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, the Chen family will take care of all your arrangements in Jingzhou."

As she spoke, she took out another token from her storage bag and handed it over.

"This is the guest elder token of my Chen family. Whoever holds this token is equivalent to a guest elder of my Chen family!"

"But don't worry, fellow Daoist, you can return this token to me at any time!"

"I'm giving you this token simply to make things easier for you in Jingzhou!"

This time, Ye Ming did not refuse.

Although Jingzhou City doesn't impose many restrictions on independent cultivators.

But compared to those family cultivators.

It's really tough for independent cultivators here.

The rogue cultivator he encountered at that inn was the best proof of that.

In order to sell what he has and exchange it for spirit stones for cultivation.

They've all come to block people's doorways like small vendors.

Some female cultivators even go so far as to sell their bodies, spending a whole night just to earn one spirit stone.

The same applies to those independent cultivators who frequently hunt monsters outside the city.

After risking their lives to hunt down monsters, they could only obtain a very small amount of spirit stones in return.

Moreover, these spirit stones also need to be distributed among the other members of the team.

The amount of spirit stones you ultimately receive is very small.

This is also the main reason why most rogue cultivators have relatively low cultivation levels.

Because in the world of cultivation, cultivation resources are always the most important thing!

That's what Ye Ming thought.
