Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Xue Tianhan inspected the alchemy furnace, a trace of satisfaction on his face. "One furnace yielded ten Qi Gathering Pills, quite a good result. Unfortunately, the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Spirit Gathering Pills have been used up. Next, I'm afraid I can only refine a large number of Spirit Yuan Pills. Once the Spirit Yuan Pills are sold, spiritual stones will flow in like a tide, and it won't be too late to purchase the materials for the Spirit Gathering Pills then."

The quality of this Lingyuan Pill is far superior to the Peiling Pill sold by the sect. If it is priced at fifty Lingshi each, it should be easy to sell. Xue Tianhan thought to himself that this plan was quite wise.

Lingyuan Pills were in high demand, and their superior quality would surely bring him considerable profits. Refining a batch of Lingyuan Pills and releasing them to the market would both satisfy demand and allow him to accumulate more spirit stones, allowing him to purchase more rare spirit herbs later and refine the more profitable Qi Gathering Pills. This was the path to long-term development.

So, he set about meticulously preparing the ingredients needed to refine the Lingyuan Pill, carefully screening and selecting each herb to ensure the highest quality. Xue Tianhan knew that while refining the Lingyuan Pill wasn't as difficult and risky as refining the Tianyuan Pill, every detail couldn't be neglected if he wanted to create a high-quality elixir.

During the refining process, Xue Tianhan was focused and perfectly integrated the simple and exquisite operating techniques of the "Eight Trigrams Alchemy Technique" with the exquisite control method of the spiritual fire in the "Dan Xin Jue", complementing each other.

After several days of unremitting efforts and hard work, Xue Tianhan finally succeeded in refining a batch of Lingyuan Pills.

He slowly opened the alchemy furnace and saw that the pills were round and plump, with a warm and bright color, and faintly emitting a light and elegant medicinal fragrance that was refreshing.

Seeing this, Xue Tianhan nodded with satisfaction. He knew very well that once these Lingyuan Pills entered the market, they would be very popular and trigger a buying frenzy.

He carefully placed the Lingyuan Pills one by one into specially made jade bottles. These jade bottles were engraved with delicate and complex runes. Their function was to preserve the medicinal power and efficacy of the pills for a long time without dissipating.

Afterwards, Xue Tianhan began to actively promote the Lingyuan Pill he had carefully refined within the Lingxu Sect.

Xue Tianhan carried a jade bottle filled with Lingyuan Dan and walked to the gate of Lingxu Sect. He found a conspicuous place and as soon as he got ready, he instantly attracted the attention of many disciples.

Zhao Yu caught sight of Xue Tianhan's medicine stall, and a sinister, fierce look flashed across his eyes. He snorted coldly. Immediately, he quietly approached his fellow senior sister Leng Wushuang and junior brother Li Feng, whispering a few words.

Leng Wushuang frowned slightly when he heard this and said softly, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to act this way. After all, we are all brothers from the same sect."

Zhao Yu curled his lips in disdain and said coldly, "Humph, with his limited ability, he was able to refine such high-quality pills. There must be something fishy going on. He must have used some shameful and illicit means. I just want to uncover the truth behind it."

Li Feng quickly echoed, "Brother, you are absolutely right. We must not let him succeed so easily and get carried away."

At this time, a young disciple came forward, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Senior Brother Xue, how much is your Lingyuan Pill for?"

Xue Tianhan smiled and responded gently, "Junior Brother, this Lingyuan Pill is of high quality and only costs fifty Lingshi each. And if you buy ten at a time, you can get one for free."

Upon hearing this, the young disciple couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "This price is not low. I wonder how effective this elixir is?"

Xue Tianhan patiently explained, "Junior brother, you may not know this, but my Spiritual Essence Pill is even more effective than the sect's Spiritual Cultivation Pill. Taking it can help you condense your spiritual energy faster. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the quality of this pill."

As he spoke, he gently opened the jade bottle. In an instant, the light and rich medicinal fragrance emitted by the elixir made everyone around him look astonished.

"It's actually a two-line elixir. I want it, I want it." The disciple exclaimed when he saw the Lingyuan Pill. You know, the sect's Peiyuan Pill is only a one-line elixir.

"I also want."

"And me, and me."

"Don't be anxious, line up and come one by one. There will be plenty of food." Xue Tianhan said happily.

Zhao Yu was extremely anxious when he saw this. He quickly pulled a familiar elder over and pretended to be respectful. He said:

"Elder, please come and take a look at Xue Tianhan's Lingyuan Pills. He suddenly brought out so many high-quality pills to sell. I seriously suspect he stole the spiritual herbs from the sect's forbidden land, or perhaps used some unorthodox alchemy method. Otherwise, how could this be possible?"

Upon hearing this, the elder's face darkened and he looked at Xue Tianhan sharply, "Tianhan, tell me, how exactly was this elixir made? Is there a legal and compliant source?"

Xue Tianhan remained calm and composed. He clasped his fists and saluted calmly, then respectfully replied, "Elder, these spiritual herbs were all obtained through countless hardships in the Lingxu Mountains. The refining methods were also diligently studied by me. There is absolutely no violation of any rules. I swear to heaven that I, Xue Tianhan, have always acted uprightly and have a clear conscience."

Seeing this, Leng Wushuang took a step forward and said, "Junior Brother Xue, don't try to quibble. You were just an ordinary disciple before. How could you suddenly possess such superb alchemy skills in such a short time?"

Xue Tianhan looked her straight in the eye with a calm expression and said firmly, "Senior Sister Wushuang, I practice diligently day and night, and even by chance, I gained some insights into alchemy. Could this be considered a fault? It's Junior Brother Zhao Yu who slandered me without any basis. I wonder what his ulterior motives are."

Li Feng shouted from the side, "Don't be so slanderous. My senior brother is doing this for the overall interests of the sect."

Xue Tianhan sneered, "For the sect? I think it's out of personal selfishness. He just can't stand seeing me achieve some success in alchemy."

The two sides were deadlocked, each holding their own opinion. Seeing this, the elder had no choice but to speak, "Since that's the case, Xue Tianhan, you will come with me to the Deacon Hall. After we thoroughly investigate the truth, if you are truly innocent, we will not wrongly accuse you. However, if you have violated the sect's regulations, you will be severely punished."

Xue Tianhan was helpless and had to quietly pack up his medicine stall and follow the elder. He thought to himself that Zhao Yu and the others would not give up easily, so he must find a way to resolve this matter thoroughly.

At this moment, Ling Fei, who happened to be passing by, witnessed this scene and hurriedly ran to call his senior sister Huang Yan.

Huang Yan hurried over and saw Xue Tianhan being led to the Deacon Hall by the elders. Her face darkened instantly, and she glared at Zhao Yu and the others with a dagger-like gaze, her eyes filled with a hint of icy coldness. "Zhao Yu, what are you up to? I know Tianhan's character very well. How could he do something so disrespectful to the sect?"

Zhao Yu felt a little uneasy when Huang Yan questioned him like this, but he still pretended to be calm and composed. "Senior Sister Huang, although you have a good relationship with him, you can't protect him for personal reasons. His alchemy skills are improving at a rapid pace, which is really too suspicious."

Huang Yan snorted coldly and scolded, "I've known Tianhan for a long time. He's devotedly devoted to studying alchemy, and he's endured countless hardships and dangers in the Lingxu Mountains searching for spiritual herbs. I've witnessed all his efforts and dedication. But you, on the other hand, keep targeting him. Aren't you jealous of his alchemy talent?"

Zhao Yu was speechless for a moment and had no answer.

Leng Wushuang, who was standing by, saw this and said, "Senior Sister, we are also worried that something might go wrong with the sect's elixirs."

Huang Yan glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Are you worried about the sect? Your indiscriminate questioning of your fellow disciples is the real source of disrupting the harmony of the sect."

Afterwards, Huang Yan hurried towards the Deacon's Hall. She was determined to prove Xue Tianhan's innocence in the Deacon's Hall.

After entering the Deacon Hall, Huang Yan first bowed respectfully to the deacons. Then, with a firm expression, she spoke in a resounding voice, "Dear Deacons, Junior Brother Xue Tianhan has always been diligent and hardworking. His alchemy skills have been improved step by step through painstaking exploration. I have discussed alchemy with him many times and know full well his dedication and passion for alchemy. He would never use any improper means to obtain elixirs."

Upon hearing this, the deacons looked at each other, all showing signs of embarrassment and hesitation. One of the deacons said, "Huang Yan, although you are the master's personal disciple, this matter is of great importance. Your words alone will not convince everyone."

Huang Yan pondered for a moment, then said resolutely, "If the deacons don't believe me, you can ask Junior Brother Xue Tianhan to refine the Lingyuan Pill again on the spot to prove his innocence. I am also willing to guarantee it with my reputation. If he violates any rules, I am willing to be punished together with him without a single complaint."

After the deacons discussed in low voices, they felt that this proposal was quite feasible, so they agreed to let Xue Tianhan prepare to refine the elixir.

Xue Tianhan glanced at Huang Yan with gratitude, then began to prepare with full concentration. Once again, he focused on the refining process methodically, his "Eight Trigrams Pill Condensation Technique" and "Pill Heart Sutra" combining with ever-increasing perfection and exquisiteness.

Everyone stared at the alchemy furnace. As time slowly passed, the pill gradually took shape, and the familiar medicinal fragrance spread out again.

When everyone saw with their own eyes that the Lingyuan Pill refined in the furnace was of the same quality as before, the deacons had already made a clear judgment in their minds.

When Zhao Yu and others saw this situation, their faces became extremely gloomy and ugly, and they knew in their hearts that this conspiracy was unlikely to succeed.

In the end, the Deacon Hall publicly declared Xue Tianhan not guilty, recognized his alchemy ability, and allowed him to continue selling Lingyuan Pills in the sect.

Xue Tianhan strode out of the Deacon Hall with his head held high and said to Huang Yan sincerely, "Senior Sister, this time I am so grateful for your help. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to completely clear my name."

Huang Yan smiled faintly and said, "You saved me once before, so why are you being so polite? You must be more cautious in the future and don't let yourself be plotted against by such a villain again."
