Cultivators frowned, this item was a bit expensive.

“Boss, a top-grade Spirit Stone is enough for a month of cultivation, isn’t buying a pack of this a bit too expensive?”

“But top-grade Spirit Stones won’t enhance your comprehension, my Huazi not only does that, but when faced with corrosive powers of the Flesh Mountain that erode the mind, taking a puff can also fend off some of its effects,” Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.

“I’ll try one first!”

A cultivator threw out ten mid-grade Spirit Stones, wanting to have a taste for himself.

Li Xiaobai took the Spirit Stones and handed over a Huazi.

The surrounding cultivators watched eagerly, wanting to see the reaction of the one who smoked the Huazi.

The cultivator took the Huazi and, under Li Xiaobai’s guidance, put it into his mouth, a small flame appeared on his fingers, lighting the Huazi and took a deep drag.

The Huazi rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the cultivator shivered comfortably with a series of exhales and inhales of smoke.

The material inside the Huazi was a true enlightenment material, and with one puff, all the viscera were cleansed, the sea of consciousness became clear and bright, and the entire Primordial Spirit purified significantly.

Seeing such an exaggerated reaction from the cultivator, the crowd around couldn’t contain their curiosity and purchased their own Huazi from Li Xiaobai, beginning to blow clouds of smoke on the spot.

After one puff, everyone’s eyes brightened, their sea of consciousness cleared, their Primordial Spirits purified, deepening their understanding of cultivation, and many

In a short while, at the entrance of the Good Goods Store, thick fragrant smoke wafted around, attracting passing disciples who couldn’t help but be drawn over, wanting to investigate.

Approaching and inhaling a couple of puffs of smoke, they shuddered and their faces lit up with ecstatic expressions.

“What is this?”

“It actually helped me break through!”

“Fellow senior brothers and sisters, what is in your mouths?”

Latecoming cultivators were so anxious they scratched their heads and ears; the effect of secondhand Huazi wasn’t very ideal, lasting only a very short time. Many were close to a breakthrough, but the sensation of a clear and bright Spiritual Platform suddenly ceased.

However, no one paid attention to them, as Huazi was a fine item. The fewer people that knew about it, the more they could buy for themselves, the more they could advance their strength beyond others.

“Boss, thirty packs of Huazi, take the Spirit Stones.”

“Fifty packs of Huazi, Spirit Stones are not a problem.”

“Give me a hundred packs, I want to breakthrough right here!”

The cultivators were very excited; such a treasure being available in bulk, a Heaven and Earth Treasure that could assist in comprehension, not to mention a top-grade Spirit Stone—even if it were a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, they would be willing to buy for its enormous benefits.

“Hehe, don’t hurry, there’s enough for everyone. I have plenty of stock,” Li Xiaobai laughed, the supply of Huazi in the store was inexhaustible, a treasure indeed for these cultivators.

Watching the multitude of cultivators with faces full of joy and satisfaction, the batches of cultivators arriving later couldn’t hold back any longer.

“What in the world is this treasure that can improve comprehension!”

“No, I have to buy one too, boss, give me a pack, no, make it ten packs!”

“I want some too…”

Stimulated by the earlier cultivators, those who came later didn’t bother with a trial and started to buy in large quantities right away.

The Good Goods Store could be said to have struck it big from the get-go; just two hours into business, it was booming. Continuing this momentum, it wouldn’t take many days for the entire Sect to learn of the miraculous nature of Huazi.

“Brother Ye has opened his store so soon, I’ll take ten packs of Huazi.”

Before anyone knew it, Yu Sanbian had made his way through the crowd and tossed a bag of Spirit Stones.

“Yes, thank you Brother Yu for your patronage.”

Li Xiaobai remained silent; whenever there was an advantage to be had, this guy would immediately come around, but the moment there were no benefits, he would turn and leave. This person was truly realistic.

“In the competition two days from now, go for it, Brother Yu.”

“Such a level of competition doesn’t even catch my eye,” Yu Sanbian said as he lit a Huazi and spoke indifferently.

“Brother Yu is so domineering…”

Li Xiaobai didn’t really want to pay attention to this show-off anymore. The man was better at pretending than he was, oozing with arrogance in every motion.

“Is Boss Ye a promoted disciple?”

The cultivators, interested upon hearing their conversation, asked.

“Yes, Liangchen arrived at the sect just yesterday,” Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Then Boss should be careful. This year’s promoted disciples are different than in previous years. Many geniuses from other regions have snatched the promoted disciple Tokens and entered the Holy Demon Sect with the intention of winning ranks in this competition and becoming disciples of the Holy Demon Sect.”

“Yeah, they’re all after the secret realm in the Northern Region. These people are disgusting; unable to become the phoenix head, they come here to fight for the tail.”

“I’ve heard that a few geniuses from Central Province have come, and I heard that the Golden Spear Overlord, who surpassed all heroes three years ago, has also arrived!”

“People from the Western Desert have come too; just two days ago, my senior brother was talking with them, with cultivation levels profound and unfathomable.”

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, full of anticipation for the competition of the promoted disciples. After all, geniuses from various regions were gathering to compete, and it was indeed a grand event.

Being able to witness the battles between these paragons was a rare opportunity. Perhaps they could even gain some insight from it.

Hearing the discussion of the crowd, Li Xiaobai understood in his heart. Just like his Sixth Senior Brother had said, this time many powerful figures had come, some even putting pressure on the eldest senior sister, with the possibility that not all of them were below the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, his own Undying Golden Body was already at the seventh transformation. Passing this test smoothly should not be a problem.

…

Meanwhile, at Picking Star Peak, where True Disciple Yue Fan resided.

At that moment, Yue Fan was practicing calligraphy, his brush strokes vigorous and fluid as if he were completely focused. A few cultivators were relating the day’s happenings to him.

“Are you saying that this cultivator named Ye Liangchen ignored your warnings, bought Su Su’s shop right in front of you, and then injured you?”

“Yes, that Ye Liangchen’s actions and demeanor were extremely arrogant, completely disregarding Senior Brother Yue!” the cultivator reported back.

“What background does this Ye Liangchen have?”

“He should be a promoted disciple, temporarily residing on the Disciple’s mountain head.”

With a “crack,” the brush in Yue Fan’s hand turned instantly to powder, veins bulging at his temple.

“Trash, chased back by a mere promoted disciple, you’ve lost face for Picking Star Peak!”

“Senior Brother Yue, please calm your anger. Sister Yin took his side at the time. We didn’t want to create unnecessary complications, so we thought to consult Senior Brother Yue first,” the cultivators said, clearly terrified.

“Keep an eye on this person, and see how he performs in the arena.”

“Also, once you go out, administer your own punishment, one hundred lashes each.”

“Yes!”

The cultivators withdrew.

Yue Fan took a deep breath, took out a new brush, and slowly wrote out the name Ye Liangchen on the paper.

“Ye Liangchen, even Su Su is protecting you. I have to see for myself what makes you so special!”
