How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Steamed fish is just steamed fish plus the name of the fish. It's just a somewhat translucent fish placed on top, with clear broth and little water. It looks pretty ordinary...

The other two dishes looked alright, though. They were roasted with some kind of strange fire, but they were just roasted chicken and roasted bird. She thought that spirit beasts were something high-class and rare.

Ye Yueyue was somewhat uninterested. "Is this the limit of your cultivation world?"

"Is it not to your liking, Junior Sister Yue?" Yu Wan asked hesitantly, noticing her expression.

He tried a bite, and it tasted alright.

My friend loves to eat and often travels to different places to experience the joys of local life, so I asked him about it on the Lingzhou boat just now.

Only then did he bring his junior sister Yue to the restaurant for a meal.

It was his first time going out alone with a female cultivator, and he didn't know where to go, but Ye Yueyue's words about the omnipotent Senior Brother Yu made him swallow back the words of refusal that were stuck in his throat.

"No, how many spirit stones did this meal cost? Senior Brother Yu has gone to so much trouble." Ye Yueyue looked at him expectantly.

So you were worried about the spirit stones?

Yu Wan breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, a faint smile flashing across his face. "Not much, just a few hundred spirit stones."

What?! Several hundred!

Ye Yueyue could hardly hide the surprise on her face.

If these few pieces of junk are worth only a few hundred spirit stones, then what are the pills she refines?

Is she considered diligent?

Calming herself down, Ye Yueyue tried a few bites. The taste was as unremarkable as she had expected, but she still ate a lot.

Although the dishes didn't taste very good, they were incredibly rich in spiritual energy. After eating, she felt comfortable all over and her cultivation level seemed to have improved considerably.

The ingredients were good, but unfortunately, the dish turned out to be a mess.

After finishing her meal, Ye Yueyue looked at Yu Wandao:

"Actually, I can also make spiritual food. I'll make some for you next time, Brother Yu!"

The girl's bright eyes held a hint of pride, and her words were full of confidence.

Yu Wan couldn't help but become curious. "Okay."

The two then strolled around Songzhou City for a while before parting ways at dusk when the moon rose.

During this time, Ye Yueyue also sold all the Spirit-Replenishing Pills she had refined at the Chamber of Commerce in Songzhou City. Surprisingly, the price of the pills outside was quite high, at 12 spirit stones per bottle.

She sold 25 bottles, which cost 300 spirit stones. Ye Yueyue didn't sell the last bottle and walked directly out of the merchant guild.

Upon seeing the tall figure standing beside a stone statue with a sword in his hands at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, Ye Yueyue's heart stirred, and she lightened her steps, walked over and patted Yu Wan on the shoulder.

"Senior brother, I have something to give you."

Yu Wan looked up and saw the girl's smiling face. He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "What is it?"

Ye Yueyue stretched out her hands from behind her back, her fair palms revealing a transparent glass bottle containing five round, white pills.

"Ta-da! These are the Spirit-Replenishing Pills I refined. One of them is a medium-grade pill! It's also the only and best one I made, so I'm giving it to Senior Brother Yu~"

At this point, Ye Yueyue pursed her lips shyly, "Senior Brother Yu, you mustn't be disgusted!"

"Of course." No.

Before Yu Wan could finish speaking, the girl forcefully shoved the medicine bottle into his hand. After a brief moment of contact, her hands parted, and the softness of that instant made him lose his senses.

When he came to his senses, all he could see was the girl's petite back.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, her red dress shone like fire, as vibrant as the sun itself.

Yu Wan knew that she herself was just as bright and dazzling as he had seen her. He only looked away when her figure gradually disappeared into the distance and could no longer be seen.

Yu Wan opened his palm. It was an ordinary medicine bottle, but it gave him a completely different feeling.

Because this is a pill refined by Junior Sister Yue.

She said it was the only best one.

As he rubbed the medicine bottle in his palm, a ripple of emotion stirred within him; it was a very peculiar feeling.

There was an itchy, overflowing feeling. It was his first time experiencing it, and he couldn't quite describe the sensation, but it was hard to dislike.

……

Ye Yueyue was unaware of his feelings and didn't care. She listened happily to the prompts from the Illusionary Spirit Veil in her mind.

Illusionary Spirit Veil: [Congratulations, Master, on establishing a temporary contract. Your spiritual energy absorption speed will increase by 10% for seven days.]

Ye Yueyue hummed a song in a pleasant mood. Although she had not yet started cultivating, she could clearly feel that her body was contacting spiritual energy much faster.

Unexpectedly, this trip had such benefits. As expected, she had excellent judgment and subconsciously chose the genius among the vast sea of ​​people. Of course, her strength was not diminished, and she easily completed the contract with a bottle of pills.

Ye Yueyue rode the Azure Sky Eagle and flew towards the Xuanling Sect, while repeatedly counting the spirit stones she had just sold.

The crisp sound produced by the spirit stone made her heart feel cheerful.

"One, two, ten... three hundred, a full three hundred and twenty spirit stones!"

25 bottles of low-grade spirit-replenishing pills sold for 300 spirit stones, and 1 bottle of mid-grade spirit-replenishing pills sold for 20 spirit stones... As Ye Yueyue counted, she couldn't help but smile and burst out laughing.

"It's out! Hahahaha..."

Good heavens, she finally has money! She no longer has to hesitate when buying things. She was so fed up with spending so many spirit stones by being stingy.

As soon as she had money, she wanted to spend it, so Ye Yueyue suddenly changed course and went to Tianfang City to purchase a batch of materials.

He even splurged on a bottle of high-grade floral dew, worth ten spirit stones, which was equivalent to a bottle of elixir.

However, seeing the food reminded her of the restaurant where Yu Wan had ordered several dishes and spent several hundred spirit stones...

Ye Yueyue's smile froze instantly.

Did she take the wrong path?

Maybe I should become a chef?

If mediocre food sells for several hundred, then hers must cost over a thousand!

Ye Yueyue's mind raced as she considered how feasible it was to become a chef, but her hands honestly increased the quantity, "Waiter, give me a few more pounds of chili powder."

"Okay."

……

Early the next morning.

Ye Yueyue emerged from her cultivation feeling refreshed. The 10% bonus might not sound like much, but after experiencing it firsthand, she realized how amazing it was.

She felt she was about to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After some thought, Ye Yueyue decided to continue cultivating, because she wanted to break through to the fifth level as soon as possible.

Instead of going to Danfeng to attend classes or practice swordsmanship as before, she took advantage of the spiritual energy buff and stayed obediently in Wangyue Garden to cultivate for the next few days.

On the fourth day, Ye Yueyue successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, but adhering to the principle of not wasting time, she patiently sat for a few more days.

Feeling her speed noticeably slow down, Ye Yueyue sighed and stopped.

Having enjoyed the benefits of the Illusionary Spirit Silk, she was no longer satisfied with the usual pace. Ye Yueyue reluctantly got up, pondering when to continue.

No, she should have gone straight to establishing a formal contract.
