The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

The bamboo baskets were mostly filled with low-grade spirit stones, since mid-grade spirit stones were relatively scarce, and only the pills of a few special VIP customers could fetch high prices.

Even so, when they saw the spirit stones piled up into a small mountain in front of them, Ye Yunong and Xia Xuanji couldn't suppress their smiles.

After taking stock, the two of them had a total of 20 mid-grade spirit stones and more than 100 low-grade spirit stones.

"This is already equivalent to our monthly salary for almost 10 years,"

Ye Yunong smiled and divided the pile of spirit stones into two equal parts.

"Yun Nong, you're amazing! Our pills are selling very well. People who were unwilling to sell to us before are now chasing after us to buy them, even when the price goes up."

Xia Xuanji counted it several times.

"Will we continue selling medicine tomorrow?"

"No, all the pills are sold out."

Ye Yunong carefully put away the pile of spirit stones that belonged to her.

Being given a bye on the first day of the competition was a pleasant surprise. But tomorrow, Ye Yunong won't be so lucky; she'll have to compete.

It seems there are people waiting for her.

"They won't be selling it tomorrow?"

Xia Xuanji was somewhat disappointed, but she also knew the importance of knowing when to stop, as Yun Nong was already very tired from refining pills.

"Don't be disappointed, there will be other opportunities in the future. Besides, even if we sell medicine again tomorrow, we probably won't earn as much as we did today."

Selling medicine in the sect's arena was something that had never happened before.

This trend was started by Ye Yunong.

Today, she made a small profit in the arena, and people around her have already seen it. Tomorrow, someone will definitely come to sell medicine.

Just as Ye Yunong had predicted, when she and Xia Xuanji went to the martial arts arena the next day, there were many people like them the day before, carrying small medicine baskets and selling medicine everywhere. Among them were several disciples of the Pill Hall.

In the struggle for territory, some people even came to blows, causing a commotion.

Compared to the first day, there were far fewer people buying medicine today.

Besides the fact that yesterday was the first day of the preliminary rounds and half of the participants had already been eliminated, resulting in fewer participants on the second day, another reason is that some people were injured before and have become wiser, with many bringing their own elixirs.

They even got into a conflict over selling medicine, and almost came to blows.

There were too many people, and Xia Xuanji and Ye Yunong were separated by the crowd.

When Ye Yunong was drawing lots, she ran into Lu Jinxin, who had just finished drawing lots. Yin Luoluo was also there. The two chatted and laughed, like sisters.

Upon seeing Ye Yunong, Lu Jinxin grabbed Ye Yunong and wouldn't let go.

"The competitions for Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother are about to begin. Let's go cheer them on together. You don't know, Senior Brother was incredibly brave in his matches yesterday. Quite a few female cultivators were cheering him on. If we're late, we might not be able to get a good spot."

Lu Jinxin said this on purpose, because she knew that Ye Yunong in the original novel was a jealous person who was often jealous of things happening around the emperor.

The more jealous she became, the more her second senior brother disliked her and doted on his junior sister.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Yunong responded with a cold expression.

She was pulled by Lu Jinxin to the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts Arena, and sure enough, the place was already packed with people.

That scene reminded Ye Yunong of modern-day fangirls.

Many female cultivators crowded at the front, their eyes shining as they stared at a male cultivator in front of them.

"Senior Brother Junce".

"He's looking this way."

Jun Ce stood out in the crowd, and he simply smiled slightly at the many admiring gazes he received.

The female nuns around them all made groundhog noises.

"Junior Sister Ye, it's nice to see you again."

Behind Ye Yunong, a pair of large hands suddenly slapped her shoulders.

Ye Yunong turned around and was met with a square face.

"Brother Zhu."

Ye Yunong smiled like an aunt when she saw her sugar daddy.

"Thanks to your medicine yesterday, I won two matches. If I fight one more match today, I will win all three."

"Your opponent isn't him, is it?"

Ye Yunong pointed to the side of the emperor not far away.

Yin Luoluo and Lu Jinxin stood beside Jun, chatting and laughing.

"Hey, you know him?"

"That's my second junior brother."

"Since he is your second junior brother, I will definitely go easy on him later."

"No, please don't! Don't hold back, you must beat my second junior brother to death."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunong waved her hands repeatedly.

Zhu Wu scratched his head, looking completely confused.

Not far away, Jun noticed that Ye Yunong hadn't come over, and kept glancing in her direction.

Seeing Ye Yunong chatting animatedly with a big, goofy guy with a big smile, Jun Ce frowned and looked at Zhu Wu with hostility.

"Don't you two have a good relationship?"

"How could that be?" Ye Yunong said with a forced smile. "We're on good terms. The reason I made you fight with all your might was for your own good. I'm the second junior brother, and I'm very strong. I was afraid that if you held back even a little, he would kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu's competitive spirit was ignited.

"Junior Sister Ye, I'm very strong too."

"I know you're strong, but my second junior brother is even stronger. Don't let his gentle appearance fool you; he's never lost a fight. You probably wouldn't last ten moves against him."

As Ye Yunong spoke, she looked distressed and took out a pill.

"Since you're a regular customer of mine, I'll give you another Qi Gathering Pill. You'll still have a chance to live when you face my second junior brother later."

Ye Yunong's Qi Gathering Pill is also a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

After a cultivator consumes it, their true energy will gradually become stronger, like a gentle stream with astonishing endurance.

"Junior Sister Ye, you're so good to me,"

Zhu Wu was both moved and excited.

The other person was clearly her junior brother, yet she still thought so much about herself.

Without saying a word, he took out a bag of spirit stones and forcefully stuffed it into Ye Yunong's hand.

"Here are the thirty mid-grade spirit stones from yesterday, plus this Qi Gathering Pill, for a total of forty mid-grade spirit stones. You can keep them."

"How could I possibly accept that?"

Ye Yunong accepted the bag of spirit stones with a sense of embarrassment.

Then, the competition began.

As soon as Zhu Wu entered the arena, he focused his energy into his dantian, and in an instant, his whole body flashed with golden light.

Zhu Wu has the spiritual roots of metal and earth.

This golden light is his protective Golden罡 Technique, a second-grade Dao technique. Under the effect of the Vajra Technique, the cultivator's body and fists and feet will become incomparably hard.

Zhu Wu shouted and threw a punch. Thanks to Ye Yunong's reminder, he used all his strength as soon as he entered the arena.

Junior Sister Ye has already said that her second junior brother is very strong. It would be so embarrassing if he were defeated by her second junior brother right away!

Without saying a word, Zhu Wu launched a fierce attack.

Jun Ce hadn't expected that the opponent would unleash such a deadly move right from the start.

His reaction was quick; he condensed his true energy, and vines sprouted from his Taoist robe, growing leaves that resembled flames.

Your side has a fire and wood spiritual root, and you use the spirit fire vine, a second-grade Dao technique.

The red vines transformed into several black shadows, attacking Zhu Wu.

On the arena, two figures clashed fiercely, exchanging blows.

The battle was quite fierce and lasted for more than fifteen minutes.

bang bang-

Jun Ce was punched twice in the eye by Zhu Wu, and a pair of dark circles immediately appeared under his eyes. He took two steps back, and had multiple injuries all caused by Zhu Wu.

With two hissing sounds, the vines left two bright red marks on Zhu Wu's body.

Zhu Wu's condition wasn't much better. He had been whipped dozens of times by Jun Ce, his Taoist robe was already torn, and his body was covered in bloody welts.

Although the two fought for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Wulian used the powerful and fierce Golden罡 Technique, while Jun's Spirit Fire Vine consumed less true energy.

It was thought that, given enough time, Zhu Wu would surely run out of energy and admit defeat.

For some reason, Zhu Wu's true energy never waned.

Jun's gaze darkened.

Zhu Wu was secretly delighted, all thanks to Junior Sister Ye's Qi Gathering Pill!

The two continued fighting without reaching a conclusion.

Junce could only bow to Zhu Wu.

"Senior Brother Zhu, this match can be considered a draw."
