Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Hearing this, Chong Yu looked at Xu Yao with some confusion.

He didn't see Xu Yao make any preparations. What, was he planning to kill him to cover it up?

Xu Yao rolled his eyes at him and strode forward.

"There is a kind of pill called the Forgetfulness Pill. As long as you take this pill, you can forget what happened within the last two days. It would be perfect to give it to them."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let Chen Feng come out; the main reason was to refine the Forgetfulness Pill.

He knows talismans, and the information about the ring space cannot be shared with the Blood Demon; doing so would only harm him, not benefit him.

Seeing Xu Yao's retreating figure, Chong Yu quickly followed.

Previously, I thought Xu Yao was just an alchemist who could refine pills, but now I realize that Xu Yao is not as simple as I imagined.

His brain is definitely not just for show!

I hope they will be friends from now on, not enemies!

They soon arrived at the ghost market, put on ghost masks, and went straight inside.

Xu Yao was about to select medicinal herbs when Chong Yu pulled him up.

"The best medicinal herbs are inside."

Xu Yao shoved Chong Yu aside, glanced around helplessly, and said, "Chong Yu, we're friends now, you're not going to charge me money again if I come here to sell pills in the future, are you?"

Chong Yu turned around and glanced at Xu Yao, who smiled slightly.

He knew Xu Yao wasn't that simple; he was already openly plotting this.

Chongfeng rolled his eyes at Xu Yao and said coldly, "You should say that to the master, it's no use telling me."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and, seeing Chong Yu walking further and further away, Xu Yao immediately followed.

Why not just tell Chongfeng? Do you have to be so formal?

Soon they arrived at the innermost part of the ghost market. At the innermost part of the ghost market, there was a small wooden house with various kinds of pill bottles displayed outside, but there was no one in sight.

Inside, there was a fine stove top, but not a single person in sight.

They dare to leave their things here when no one is home. Aren't they afraid they'll get stolen?

Xu Yao stopped beside the pills. Before he could even reach for the bottle on the table, he felt a surge of spiritual energy rushing towards him. Xu Yao raised his hand to defend himself and managed to withstand the attack.

Seeing the scene before him, Chongyu narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming complicated.

Xu Yao lowered his hand, rotated his arm, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.

He reached out and picked up the pills on the table, looking at them with displeasure, and said, "How can you know the quality of things if you put them here and don't let people see them? Is this how you treat your guests?"

All I saw was an old man jumping down from the roof beam, holding a gourd in one hand and a fan in the other.

His clothes were tattered, the original color of the fabric was no longer visible, and in some places, his skin was even exposed.

Not only that, but he was also wearing a pair of worn-out shoes, which exposed his toes.

His hair looked like it had been blasted, and his face was completely black.

Seeing the old man's disheveled appearance, Xu Yao couldn't help but laugh.

He put the pill back on the table and said helplessly, "Old man, even if you failed to refine an eighth-grade Wind Chasing Pill, you don't have to do this, do you?"

Hearing this, the old man frowned and looked at Xu Yao with some surprise.

"How did you know I refined an eighth-grade Wind-Chasing Pill?"

The Wind-Chasing Pill is said to increase a person's speed, expand their meridians, and prolong life, which is why it is so sought after.

Especially some elderly sect leaders and other prominent figures.

However, the conditions for refining the Wind Chasing Pill are very demanding. Xu Yao doesn't know what rank of alchemist is needed to refine the Wind Chasing Pill here, but it certainly won't be too low.

Xu Yao raised his hands and placed them on his arms, looking at the old man speechlessly.

"The ingredients needed to refine the Wind Chasing Pill include Soul-Severing Grass, Stone Fern, and Cloud Dream Flower, among other herbs. It's not like I have no sense of smell; how could I not be able to smell them?"

Yes, all correct!

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the old man became excited and immediately walked to Xu Yao's side, asking, "Are you an alchemist? What grade of alchemist are you? Can you refine the Wind Chasing Pill? Can you teach me?"

……

Hearing the old man bombard him with so many questions, Xu Yao was unsure which one to answer.

He turned to look at Chongyu. Wasn't it said that they were all inside?

There are only pills on display here now, and there's even a pill-refining furnace inside. He really didn't see any herbs.

However, he needed the alchemy furnace anyway, so he might as well go in and take a look to see what was so good about the old man's things.

Xu Yao didn't say anything, walked past the old man and went straight in. The old man followed Xu Yao eagerly, his enthusiasm was beyond words.

Before he even entered, Xu Yao could smell a strong herbal aroma.

He turned his head and looked back, and found that the herbs were placed on shelves on both sides of the door, and were arranged neatly.

Moreover, the herbs here are all in perfect condition; only an experienced person could dig them up so intact.

but……

Xu Yao turned to look at the old man and said, "You know to put the pills outside, but you don't know to put the herbs outside. Who are you planning to sell them to?"

The old man waved his hand dismissively.

"They can take it or leave it. Tell me quickly, do you know how to refine the Wind Chasing Pill? Can you teach me? If you teach me, I'll give you all these herbs!"

Xu Yao raised his hand and pointed to the herb shelf next to him.

"All of these!?"

When good luck strikes, it's unstoppable! When I go out to buy something, someone even delivers it to my door.

It wasn't that he was trying to scam him, but the old man was willing to do it.

The old man nodded, and Xu Yao didn't hesitate. He immediately went to the medicine shelf, took out the herbs for refining the Wind Chasing Pill, placed them next to the alchemy furnace, and then waved to the old man.

The old man immediately walked over and looked at Xu Yao very seriously.

Xu Yao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pointed to the alchemy furnace beside him.

"Hurry up and sit down. If you don't sit down, do you expect me to refine it for you?"

"I'll guide you, you do it."

Hearing this, the old man looked somewhat doubtful. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xu Yao, but rather that one couldn't be distracted when refining pills, especially the Wind Chasing Pill.

If you get distracted, there's only one outcome—bang!

Just look at the way he looks now and you'll know.

Seeing that the old man still wouldn't go over, Xu Yao pushed him over directly and said, "Don't worry, the Wind Chasing Pill is very simple. As long as you listen to me, you won't go wrong."

"Besides, you've already caused so many explosions, do you really care about this one more time?"

It seems so!

The old man sat down and began to control the fire, then started throwing herbs into it in sequence. Xu Yao walked over and sat down, watching the old man's actions.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, only half of the medicinal herbs were added.

Xu Yao couldn't bear to watch any longer and said, "Except for the stone fern, put all these herbs in."
