Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan ask the same question again, the fat man patted his chest proudly and answered loudly:

"This is my territory, of course I'm here!"

Upon hearing the fat man's words, Chu Yunfan thought to himself:

"Sure enough! This fat guy really is the landlord's stupid son."

Then, Chu Yunfan spoke directly:

"That's perfect, please get me a Black Gold membership card first."

In addition, I need a large quantity of third-tier and fourth-tier spiritual herbs. Could you ask someone to help arrange that?

"What? A black gold membership card!"

The fat man looked incredulous. In his opinion, how could Chu Yunfan, a mere third-level alchemist, afford a black gold membership card?

Just then, a staff member explained:

"Young Master Fu, I just checked, and this young master does indeed have over one hundred million spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this answer, the fat man immediately beamed with joy, patted Chu Yunfan on the shoulder, and said:

"I knew it! My brother Chu Yunfan is incredibly powerful, so the friends he knows must be extraordinary too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man turned to the old man he had been chatting with and gave the order:

"Mr. Cai, could you please get my brother the highest-level Purple Gold Card?"

"What? A Purple Gold Card!"

The old man was almost startled by the fat man's words.

It's important to understand that the Purple Gold Card represents not only wealth, but also a symbol of status.

Generally speaking, only those at the level of an inner sect peak master of the Qingyun Sword Sect are qualified to apply for a Purple Gold Card.

But now, Chu Yunfan doesn't seem to be qualified to apply for the Purple Gold Card at all.

However, after the fat man explained it, the old man immediately stopped having any doubts.

"Elder Cai, my friend Chu Yunfan is the number one prodigy in the inner sect of Qingyun Sword Sect."

The friend he takes a liking to is no ordinary person, not to mention he can refine top-grade Transformation Pills.

In addition, a friend of a friend is also my friend.

Based on this relationship alone, a purple-gold card isn't unreasonable!

After saying that, the fat man glanced at Chu Yunfan.

Seeing this, the old man handed Chu Yunfan a purple-gold card, explaining as he did so:

"With the Zijin Card, you can enjoy a 50% discount on purchases at any branch of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce."

If you have any unwanted treasures that you wish to sell, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce will purchase them at 1.5 times the market price.

In addition, Zijin Card members enjoy priority purchasing rights for all resources of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

Even if the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the resources it needs right now, as long as you require them, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has the capability to search the entire Qingyun Continent and find them for you!

Of course, if other forces entrust the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce with the treasures for auction, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce can coordinate the process, but it is not responsible for directly providing them!

Hearing Mr. Cai's explanation, Chu Yunfan nodded in satisfaction and accepted the gold card from him.

Subsequently, under the fat man's arrangement, within five minutes, someone delivered all the third- and fourth-grade spiritual herbs that Chu Yunfan needed.

Chu Yunfan was very satisfied with the speed of the process.

Just as Chu Yunfan was about to leave, the fat man suddenly stopped him and asked a question.

"You've asked for so many fourth-tier spiritual herbs, are you planning to break through to become a fourth-tier alchemy master?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan nodded.

At this moment, the fat man suddenly spoke up:

"It just so happens that you need to refine a large number of pills recently. If you need to sell them, you can contact me directly."

Especially for those top-grade pills that you don't need, you must cooperate with me!

The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has always wanted to get involved in the highly profitable business of elixirs.

Unfortunately, the pills on the Qingyun Continent are basically monopolized by the Pill God Valley and other alchemy forces, so the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has never had this opportunity.

When Fatty heard Chu Yunfan mention that a friend of his could refine top-grade Transformation Pills, he became interested and decided to test the waters of the pill business.

Chu Yunfan nodded in agreement upon hearing the fat man's request.

After all, he no longer needed the third and fourth-tier pills. Since he was going to sell them anyway, he might as well give them all to Fatty. Not only could he get a high price from them, but he could also repay a favor.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan planned to return to his cave at the Qingyun Sword Sect to cultivate pills in seclusion.

However, at Fatty's enthusiastic invitation, Chu Yunfan settled down on the seventh floor of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce. The purpose, of course, was to make things convenient for Chu Yunfan and save him the trouble of traveling back and forth.

Chu Yunfan also took this into consideration, so he did not refuse the fat man's kindness.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan officially began refining pills.

He first spent a week practicing the "Nine Dragons Fire Control Technique" to get a basic understanding of it.

Afterwards, he spent another week refining a large number of third-tier pills to regain his alchemy skills and familiarize himself with the new alchemy methods.

Next, Chu Yunfan began to formally refine fourth-order pills.

As expected, Chu Yunfan succeeded in refining a fourth-tier pill on his first attempt.

Moreover, just like when he first refined a third-grade pill, Chu Yunfan entered the Mind's Eye state, and as a result, he refined a fourth-grade top-quality pill, and even nine perfect top-quality pills.

This made Chu Yunfan extremely excited.

However, in the following days, Chu Yunfan discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he could not enter the state of mind's eye again.

"What's going on? Why can't I enter that strange state again, just like last time?"

Chu Yunfan immediately stopped refining pills and stood still, pondering this very important question.

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor, who was the spirit of the Nine Dragons Furnace, spoke up to explain to Chu Yunfan:

"The state you just entered is called the Mind's Eye state. It requires extreme concentration and complete detachment to enter this state."

When you first refined a fourth-tier pill, you were completely focused on the process, without any distractions, and that's when you entered the Mind's Eye state.

Later on, having successfully refined fourth-tier pills, you'll find the pill-refining process less stressful and less demanding.

Furthermore, you're refining pills with a specific purpose in mind, which is inherently a major distraction, making it impossible to enter a state of mental focus!

"I see!"

After listening to the explanation from the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor, Chu Yunfan felt as if he had been enlightened, and everything became clear.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan once again devoted himself to alchemy.

Of course, what the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor said was simple to say, but extremely difficult to achieve.

After all, Chu Yunfan was only refining pills in order to enter the Mind's Eye state and refine top-grade pills.

The result was that Chu Yunfan was asked to abandon this idea and then concentrate all his energy on alchemy without any goal, which was really asking too much of him.

It's like telling a student not to take the exam seriously and to just write whatever, but at the same time, you demand that he get a perfect score and be number one.

Under such circumstances, how could this student not take the exam seriously?

Unless, of course, he is a genius among geniuses, and can write anything and still get a perfect score.

In fact, Chu Yunfan was indeed a genius in alchemy.

Or perhaps, the word "genius" is no longer sufficient to describe Chu Yunfan's talent in alchemy.
