Qi Xin immediately became excited. Gong Qilin was a child he had watched grow up. If that soul could be found, the black market would have a successor and would not be allowed to be touched by people who did not know their own identity. He kept saying, "That's good, that's good..." He completely ignored the three words "maybe" that Gong Le said.

"Your subordinate takes his leave." Qi Xin left happily, but once outside the door, he transformed back into the stern and powerful Manager Qi who held sway in the black market. He had to tell the person impersonating the young master to be careful and not let anyone discover him.

The people in the black market are all nocturnal, so very few people actually knew he had gone out. Even if they did, it wouldn't matter. It's not like he failed to bring the young master back. He also sent Gao Feng and Gao Yu out to find the stronghold of the Hall of Longevity. Well, nothing happened.

Chi Yi and the others were unaware that they were being placed on high expectations, but they could sense that there must be something they wanted about them, which was why they were determined to keep Gong Qilin.

Gong Qilin is like a bird released from its cage, overjoyed, chattering incessantly and asking questions. Only the equally innocent Xi Lan talks to him the most.

In just one day, Gong Qilin had become Xi Lan's little shadow, calling her "Sister Shan Feng" over and over again, almost to the point of swearing brotherhood on the spot.

Gao Feng and Gao Yu took the disguise pill and silently followed behind Gong Qilin, responsible for his safety.

Jin Haoyu, Yuan Jing, Bai Shu, Ling Lili, and Yun Fan continued to practice in the Qianyue Arena to improve their skills. Xi Lan was teaching her newly acquired underlings how to forge weapons, while Chi Yi was refining pills. After getting the necessary medicinal herbs from Bai Shu, she had been refining pills ever since. She wanted to buy some, but Bai Shu said, "You've given us such expensive information for free, and I'm still asking for such a small amount of spirit stones? Don't you consider me a friend?!"

Chi Yi accepted the pills without further ado, after all, she had promised them the Foundation Establishment Pills. She had successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pills after a few attempts, and she didn't waste the remaining materials. She refined them all into pills, planning to sell them to the six families at a lower price, giving them some benefits and recouping her own investment.

Alchemists are scarce everywhere. To hire an alchemist to refine pills, you not only need to prepare the money for the materials, but also pay for the refining process. It's not only expensive, but sometimes there's no guarantee that it will be successful. Chi Yi had only heard of this phenomenon before, but now she has also been reduced to making money by refining pills.

Two days later, Chi Yi, who was refining pills in her room, heard a knock on the door. It was the waiter, who said someone was looking for her. She thought it must be the stall owner from the black market.

When she went downstairs, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes. Chi Yi asked, "Did you come looking for me?"

The middle-aged man looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, wondering if he had the wrong person, and asked, "Are you Shui Ye?"

Chi Yi nodded: "It's me. Is there something you need?"

The middle-aged man took out the note that Chi Yi had given him at the black market and handed it to her. Chi Yi glanced at it and said, "Come with me." Then she turned and went upstairs, and the middle-aged man quickly followed.

Upon entering the room, Chi Yi immediately released an array plate to prevent others from probing her. Inns are places where all sorts of people mingle, and one could easily be spied on by others if one wasn't careful.

The middle-aged man waited quietly for Chi Yi to make a move, and only spoke after she sat down: "I brought the Transformation Grass. I wonder if the Foundation Establishment Pill I asked for has been refined?" As he spoke, he took out a box.

Chi Yi looked at him and asked, "How many Transformation Grass do you have?" Transformation Grass never grows alone; it always grows at least five plants at a time. If you could get one more and have Bai Shu plant it in the herb garden, then everyone else's contracted beasts could transform.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then said, "I have two trees, but one of them is only fifty years old and hasn't grown to maturity, so it's useless."

Chi Yi nodded and asked, "Did you bring it?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "It has always been on me. I originally planned to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to plant it, but I never had the chance to find one."

"I'll trade you a Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill for that fifty-year-old Transformation Grass. Will you trade?"

"Are you serious?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true."

"I'll change it." The middle-aged man took out another box and handed it to Chi Yi.

Chi Yi opened the two boxes and checked them over. After confirming that they were indeed Transformation Grass, she took out two pill bottles and gave them to him.

"The one with the red cap is the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the one with the white cap is the Spirit Gathering Pill," Chi Yi explained.

The middle-aged man said, "Thank you," turned around, and left the room.
