Carrying five thousand gold coins of medicinal ingredients into his own room, Zhen Yinjian took away all of his women and servants, and spent the next few days concocting the Spring Restoration Pills without stopping to sleep. He had to admit that the one year of success in concocting pills in the System Dimension had not been in vain.

He felt that he could easily control the fire, the method, and the quantity of the herbs used to concoct the pills. The ancients said, practice makes perfect, sincerity does not fail!

The news of Zhen Yinjian's success in concocting pills was spread throughout the entire manor, and even Patriarch Zhen Yong knew about it. When he heard the news of Zhen Yinjian refining pills, he let out a cold laugh.

Congenital Stage, intoxicated with cultivation, and obsessed with alchemy, he had never heard of anyone with any great achievements.

Four days later, Zhen Yinjian opened his room with a smile on his face, and ordered the young servant girl to prepare some medicinal baths for him. He, who had been focused on refining pills these past few days, was extremely tired.

But when he saw his room filled with pills, his heart felt as sweet as if he'd drunk honey.

"Humph, I want to make that damn old geezer's loss hurt!"

Accompanied by the sweet fragrance of the servant girl, Zhen Yinjian washed himself and changed into his new clothes before leaving the house. He carried the sweet smell of the medicine basket in his hands and headed straight for the market.

After arriving at the city square, he asked two passersby about it and finally found the apricot leaf. This medicinal shop was located in the most lively center of the city square. It was five meters tall, with the shape of an Immortal pavilion, grand and majestic. On top of the door beam, there was a large, magnificent golden board with three words written in ancient charms — apricot leaf.

Looking at the people walking in and out of the door, whether it was immortal cultivators or distinguished officials, they were indeed extraordinary.

Zhen Yinjian swaggered into the pavilion, and under the astonished gazes of the three employees, he found a table to sit at, placed the heavy vegetable basket on the vermillion table with a "pa" sound, and started yelling.

"Is the Tong Manager here? I have a big business deal with you!"

The faces of the three shop assistants darkened, and a fat guy shouted angrily at Zhen Yinjian:

"Do you know the rules? Our apricot leaf is silent. "Get lost now! If you want to cause trouble, you came to the wrong place!"

"Who called me!" The mahogany door on the wall beside the counter creaked open and out came the thin elder with the goatee. It really was Tong Manager.

When he saw that Zhen Yinjian had actually come and brought something with him, he was shocked in his heart. Could it be that this person had really succeeded?

"Brat, what are you looking for me for? Could it be that you want to beg me to cancel the bet? I won't do that."

The old man pushed the few waiters beside him away and let them in, anxiously smiling at Zhen Yinjian. He didn't believe that this kid could actually concoct the Spring-Returning Pill.

Although the Spring Restoration Pill was only an ordinary pill that could be refined by alchemists with inherited Congenital Stage and above, it was almost impossible to concoct it using the shallow and crude pill books that were available on the market. And since Zhen Yinjian had bought a large amount of Spring-Returning Pellets from someone else, it was also impossible for him to earn a difference in prices from them.

In Peace City, only apricot leaf would have such a pill for sale. He believed it without a doubt.

"Old man, I've refined the Spring-Returning Pill. Can't you give me twice the price?" Zhen Yinjian laughed complacently.

"Whatever, since you have other methods, I won't waste my breath on you." You aristocratic kids have such great face, I'm too lazy to argue with you. "

Tong Manager's face twitched with dissatisfaction. He didn't think that this brat would purposely go to his store to buy the Spring Restoration Pill for face, it was just to refute his pride.

However, he was still an old man who had been living in poverty for dozens of years. Thus, he did not want to get into any trouble with this foppish young lord and decided to pay more money to settle the matter. After all, these rich kids were causing trouble for him as well.

"How many do you have, one, two, three? One Spring Restoration Pill is priced at 1000 gold taels, I will make 2000 gold taels for each pill. " The old man continued to knock on the abacus and looked at the accounts for the day.

Dong!

With a dull thud, a large vegetable basket smashed onto his counter. The force behind it caused his abacus to flip upside down.

"You young man, why are you so impetuous?" Tong Manager pressed the abacus, his face gloomy.

"Boss, this basket is full of pills. Count them all!" Zhen Yinjian continued to smile mischievously.

"W-what?" Goateed Old Man swallowed his saliva, and with trembling hands, he opened the cover of the basket.

A basket full of pills, all of them were Spring-Returning Pills. The full shape and the full aroma of the pills had allowed him to confirm the authenticity of this batch of pills.

"Wh-were you the ones who refined them?" The old man was defeated as his hands trembled.

"Yeah, I've been busy for two days and I've finally made it. Please count it out." Zhen Yinjian wiped his sweat, pretending to be simple and honest.

"You, why are you using a vegetable basket?" The old man let out a few words from his throat as his chest heaved up and down.

"This thing is easy to make. I've only made a big bowl out of all the herbs. There's no need to use bottles or jars to make it." Zhen Yinjian scratched his head and laughed.

"A bowl?" Looking at the weight of the pills in the basket, there were at least a hundred of them. Then based on the price of 200 taels of silver for each pill, that would be 200,000 taels of silver!

Thinking of this, the old man actually became agitated and fainted.

The three servants walked out after finishing their work. Seeing the unconscious Tong Manager on the ground, their expressions changed greatly. They felt that they had hurried to help him up.

"Shopkeeper, what happened to you?" A quick-witted fellow patted the old man's face before he woke up.

"Count, count how many pills are in the basket." Tong Manager got up and said while clenching his teeth.

He was, after all, the manager of the apricot leaf in Peace City, and he could not deny things that he had already done. This 200,000 silver was something he could afford by clenching his teeth.

"The shopkeeper has a total of 121 pills." The waiters counted the number of Spring-Returning Pill one by one. They were all surprised by the number.

The Spring-Returning Pill might not be a precious pill, but it was still the first time there were so many of them.

The Goateed Old Man cracked open the abacus and calculated, then came out with a number that made his heart tremble.

"One hundred and twenty-one pills. According to the price of one pill for two thousand silver, it's two hundred and forty-two thousand silver."

"Then I'll be grateful, Tong Manager." Zhen Yinjian sat at the table while smiling. The customers coming and going saw the scene in front of them and were all amazed.

No one had ever seen so many medicinal pills being filled up like a brick in a vegetable basket. Moreover, they could tell at a glance that this was a Spring Restoration Pill. After all, the position of the apricot leaf was between nobles and cultivators, so the price of this pill was naturally not cheap.

"This is the Dragon Fang's banknote, two hundred and forty-two thousand taels. Take it." The old man gritted his teeth as he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary kid would be able to refine so many Spring-Returning Pills? One had to know that every month, the sales of the Spring Restoration Pills in Peace City was even half of the amount refined by this kid.

Even low tier pill refiners who were usually happy to concoct such low-tier pills would not be able to concoct this much in a month. Including the fact that refining was a waste, the amount of money spent was an enormous amount.

Spring Restoration Pills were not difficult to concoct. Most low tier pill refiners only had a success rate of sixty to seventy percent. What was even more terrifying was that the Tong Manager had already noticed that this batch of pellets was all above mid quality, there were even a few high quality ones, the quality itself was not low.

One had to know that middle and high tier pill refiners did not know how to concoct this kind of pill, and low tier pill refiners also had very few mid tier pills. Most of them were low tier pills.

Although low-grade medicinal pills had their effects, there were still quite a few dregs. As for mid-grade and even high-grade medicinal pills, the dregs were much lower. This herb dregs actually contained a pill poison, and it was called a medicine with three parts poison. For those who were severely ill and physically weak, the effects of the pill's poison on their bodies were not small nor small. It would affect their health.

Furthermore, the higher one's status was, the more value they had for their lives. The lower the requirement for medicinal dregs was, the better it was. They valued it greatly. For high-grade pills, the medicinal dregs and poison content was very low. Normally, the effects on a mortal's body would be minimal.

Zhen Yinjian being able to refine a high quality Spring-Returning Pill and being able to refine it in such a short period of time made him extremely shocked.

"Is this kid really a genius alchemist?"

Ever since he made the bet with Zhen Yinjian, he had secretly sent people to investigate, and knew that this boy was from the Zhen Mansion's side branch family, and was rather well-liked in the past few days. Moreover, not long ago, he bought an《 Elementary Reading of the Alchemy Dao》 that wasn't even in the Alchemy Book, and then he bought an extremely trashy pill furnace and a batch of herbs in the city square. He was actually concocting pills in his room these days!

When he thought about how he could concoct such a high quality Spring-Returning Pill without having to receive guidance from anyone just because of such lousy equipment and low-leveled theories, he was greatly taken aback.

All the signs filled him with curiosity about this young man.

"Little brother is truly talented. You are indeed a rare genius in the dao of alchemy. It is this old man who broke his promise." This little old man will apologize to you. " With that, the Tong Manager made a face at him. This old fellow really can take it.

"Just a small matter, not worth mentioning. "Old mister, I still have something to show you. Please help me to assess how much I can sell it for!"

"What is it?" The Goat Breathing Old Man looked at Zhen Yinjian with eyes full of doubt.
