I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her eye contact, Pei Baozhu had no choice but to speak: "You guys are eating spiritual fruits! I don't know if this academy has a cafeteria. Although I can fast, I still want to eat some food."

Wen Qinnuan said while eating, "No!"

Seeing someone answering, Pei Baozhu asked again, "Where did you get the spiritual fruit from? Do you have any left?"

Gu Liyue glanced at Pei Baozhu and said calmly, "No more."

Pei Baozhu said regretfully: "Oh, I was thinking that if I had any, I would exchange them with you for spirit stones."

Gu Liyue said with interest: "Oh, how many spirit stones do you plan to exchange for a spirit fruit from me?"

Pei Baozhu was just talking about buying spiritual fruits. She thought Gu Liyue was willing to give them to Qu Lizhi and Wen Qinnuan, and since she asked, she would also give one to herself.

She didn't expect Gu Liyue to really think she wanted to buy spiritual fruit. She couldn't go back on her word, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Two low-grade spiritual stones."

Gu Liyue said, "Then I won't exchange it. This spiritual fruit of mine is both delicious and rich in spiritual power. It cost me four spiritual stones when I bought it!"

Pei Baozhu knew that similar spiritual fruits on the market were only worth two spirit stones, so why did it cost twice as much for hers?

Wen Qinnuan said, "No wonder I think it tastes good. It tastes better than any spiritual fruit I've ever eaten. It does contain a lot of spiritual power."

Gu Liyue thought to herself: Of course, those are fruit trees watered with spiritual spring water!

Pei Baozhu was also a little moved when she heard Wen Qinnuan say this. She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say you didn't have any?"

Gu Liyue said, "There are no more for giving as gifts, but there are still some for exchanging for spirit stones."

Pei Baozhu's face lit up when she heard this.

Yun Lizhi looked at the three of them with interest and felt that the black-faced girl was a bit shameless.

Was Gu Liyue hinting at him asking her for spiritual fruit? How could she say it so bluntly?

Yun Lizhi next to her burst out laughing.

Pei Baozhu's face flushed red, and she stomped her feet and went into the room.

At this time, Nie Hengzhou arrived and called out at the gate, "Liyue, can we go now?"

Gu Liyue replied: "Coming!"

Just walked out. Pei Baozhu heard the sound and hurried out of the room, and saw Nie Hengzhou and Gu Liyue walking side by side.

A glimmer flashed in her eyes.

Yun Lizhi and Wen Qinnuan looked at each other.

……

Qingxuan City

Nie Hengzhou took Gu Liyue for a walk along the main street, but didn't see any empty shops.

Along the way, Nie Hengzhou told Gu Liyue about the situation in Qingxuan City.

Although Qingxuan City is a big city now, there was Qingxuan Academy more than a thousand years ago. At the beginning, Qingxuan Academy was just an organization of independent cultivators. Later, it gradually grew stronger and its structure became complete, and it has reached its current scale.

In the beginning, Qingxuan City was just a market, and most of its residents were the families of the independent practitioners from Qingxuan Academy.

It later became a city because Qingxuan College became the top college in Qingxuan Continent. With the addition of merchants, the small market also developed into its current scale.

The headquarters of Duobao Pavilion is located in Qingxuan City.

They came to Duobao Pavilion, and Gu Liyue wanted to sell the pills she had refined before, so as to have as many spirit stones as possible on hand so that she could buy a store and open a shop.

Nie Hengzhou thought she was going to Duobao Pavilion to buy something, so he took her to the counter and asked her, "Liyue, what do you want to buy?"

Gu Liyue said, "Uncle Nie, I want to go check out the elixir."

Nie Hengzhou felt like he had something stuck in his throat and had to lower his head. One day, he would get rid of the name Gu Liyue called him!

They came to the container where the pills were kept, and Gu Liyue asked about the prices of several types of pills.

The maid answered Gu Liyue's questions one by one, but she didn't see any sign of her buying anything. A hint of impatience flashed across her face.

At this time, a person walked over. She glanced at Nie Hengzhou and Gu Liyue and said, "If you don't have spirit stones, don't come to look at the pills. It's a waste of everyone's time."

Nie Hengzhou looked back and saw that it was the Second Elder's direct disciple Yin Rutang and her follower Fu Changshi.

"So it's Senior Sister Yin and Junior Brother Fu." Nie Hengzhou joined the Great Elder's tutelage later than Yin Rutang, so he called her Senior Sister Yin. "These two are direct disciples of Second Elder Chi Yonghao, who is an alchemy practitioner."

Yin Rutang disliked Nie Hengzhou, thinking that the Great Elder's disciples were all poor sword cultivators. In her eyes, they came to Duobao Pavilion to buy elixirs because they had no spirit stones.

Gu Liyue understood and glanced at them. She had to admit that there was no one in the world of immortal cultivation who was ugly. It might be because of their cultivation.

This Yin Rutang has a sweet appearance, a medium build, and is dressed exquisitely. The hairpin in her hair looks luxurious and eye-catching. It is obvious that she is a rich person.

Fu Changshi was a burly man, standing next to Yin Rutang, like a small mountain.

"Brother Nie, are you going to buy it?"

Nie Hengzhou glanced at Gu Liyue and said, "Buy it."

Gu Liyue also spoke at the same time: "No."

Nie Hengzhou wondered, was Li Yue not buying the pills because they were too expensive?

He whispered to Gu Liyue, "I have spirit stones. Liyue, feel free to buy whatever you want."

Gu Liyue: "..., Uncle Nie, I don't buy it."

Yin Rutang frowned: "If you don't have spirit stones, move away. You are blocking us."

Nie Hengzhou looked at Yin Rutang coldly. The small red mole at the corner of his left eye was a little dim at this moment. He said to Gu Liyue, "It's okay. Buy whatever elixir you want. If you don't have enough spirit stones, I have some here."

Gu Liyue wondered: Why doesn't this Uncle Nie understand what I'm saying? Was he provoked by this Sister Yin?

"No, no, no, Uncle Nie, I'm not buying pills. I'm not here to buy pills."

Yin Rutang looked at them and heard their conversation and asked, "If you're not buying pills, what are you doing here?"

Gu Liyue replied, "I just came to ask about the price of the pills."

"Oh, so after asking you, you can save up your spirit stones to buy it, right?"

Gu Liyue glanced at the maid and found that she was trying to reduce her presence as much as possible and was just there as a background board.

This maid is not as dedicated as the maid Xiaoqing from Donglin City!

She walked up to the maid and said, "I want to see your shopkeeper."

Yin Rutang looked around and saw no other maids. She said, "If you don't want to buy the pills, go find the shopkeeper yourself. I still need to ask the price. What a bother!"

Nie Hengzhou heard that Yin Rutang didn't say she wanted to buy pills, so he asked, "Senior Sister Yin isn't buying pills either, is she?"

Yin Rutang had just successfully refined a bottle of Rejuvenating Pill and was planning to come to Duobao Pavilion to sell it. She didn't want to run into Nie Hengzhou and waste her time. She originally wanted to check the price of the Rejuvenating Pill on the counter before going to find the shopkeeper.

It’s the same idea as Gu Liyue.

She said proudly, "I'm here to sell pills, not to buy them."

The maid looked at these people and thought to herself: It seems that none of them are here to buy things. I thought this person, dressed up beautifully, was here to buy things. Alas, I was wrong!

Fu Changshi said, "Junior sister, don't waste our senior sister's time here. If you want to find the shopkeeper, go find him yourself. If you can't afford the elixirs, what do you want from the shopkeeper? Are you here to sell elixirs like my senior sister?"
