Chapter 26: Peaceful Days

Translator: 549690339

“Junior Brother Han Yi, we’re here especially waiting for you.”

“We heard from Uncle Qi that you passed the sect-returning assessment, so we’re inviting you to move to Little Guanhai Peak.”

Chu Jinmo didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Ilan Yi’s eyebrows relaxed, and he guessed it was probably just this matter.

“I’m sorry, I’ve thought about it a lot after returning, and 1 don’t plan to move for now.”

Han Yi cupped his hands together, expressing his thoughts.

“Wouldn’t Junior Brother Han Yi like to reconsider it?”

“Moving to Little Guanhai Peak would not only get you a bigger courtyard, but also many junior sisters, so you definitely won’t lack companions.”

Chu Jinmo didn’t expect Han Yi’s attitude to be so determined, refusing right from the start, and her tone became anxious.

No, I won’t reconsider.”

“If there’s nothing else, you two can leave.”

Han Yi bowed his hands and walked past Chu Jinmo, smelling a faint fragrance on her body.

Then, he opened the door of the courtyard, walked in, and closed it heavily.

Without any hesitation.

“Senior Sister, let’s go. His attitude is firm, evidently not willing to move, and he doesn’t seem to care that much about companions. The advantages of my Little Guanhai Peak don’t exist for him, so there’s nothing to discuss.”

Behind Chu Jinmo, the voluptuous Yan Ru analyzed expressionlessly.

Chu Jinmo sighed.

“In the sect, there aren’t many outer disciples like Han Yi who have low cultivation realms but high alchemy skills. If he could live in our Little Guanhai Peak, it would bring many benefits to us.”

“What a pity, what a pity.”

Let’s go.

The two left, and Han Yi, separated by a wall, didn’t eavesdrop on their conversation.

It was only after confirming that they had left that he returned to his meditation chamber.

“Little Guanhai Peak personally invited me. Will Little Fiery Fire Peak and Little

Green Cloud Peak also come to invite me?”

“I must reject them outright, not allowing them to have the slightest possibility of hope. Only then can 1 put an end to future troubles.”

Having made up his mind, Han Yi didn’t start refining pills but went to the backyard to practice Sword Control Skill.

[Sword Control Skill (Early Insight 34/100)]

This Sword Control Skill was obtained from the Lei Family Market in Mengshan City, costing Han Yi dozens of spirit stones.

Although it was an incomplete version, by the time it was promoted from [Beginner’s First Attempt] to [Early Insight], it had given Han Yi countless insights.

To be more precise, this [Sword Control Skill] had progressed beyond the original version and become completely new.

And this…

After summarizing Spirit Void Finger and Sword Control Skill, Han Yi discovered another secret about proficiency.

That is, he can complete a magic skill by constantly filling the progress bar.

In short…

After obtaining the incomplete version of the Sword Control Skill, Han Yi filled the progress of the skill through the proficiency system and completed the skill.

Since returning from Mengshan City, he had arranged a full schedule for himself, from cultivating magic skills to refining pills.

Now, he had a choice: whether to practice magic skills or refine pills.

Han Yi’s first choice was to practice [Sword Control Skill].

In Mengshan City, he had only practiced it to the beginning stage, advancing the proficiency of Sword Control Skill to the Early Insight stage of 34/100.

Next…

He planned to practice Sword Control Skill, refine pills, sell the pills in the market for spirit stones, and then cultivate with the spirit stones. After promoting Sword Control Skill and Alchemy Skill to [Mastering], he would advance all three magic skills together, striving for the next realm.

Time slowly passed as Han Yi cultivated.

The days became calm and settled for him.

During this period, as he had speculated, people from Little Green Cloud Peak and Little Fiery Fire Peak also came to invite him to live there, but he declined them all.

The Peak Master of Little Lingxu Peak learned about Han Yi’s situation from some source and, in order to keep him, granted him a set of Light Body Technique and wanted to provide a better courtyard for him. However, Han Yi refused.

Also…

Having acquired spirit stones, Han Yi did not invite Zheng Hai to celebrate at Drunken Immortal Tower as he had originally planned. Instead, he kept a low profile.

Because Han Yi had some lingering fear, revealing only a part of his alchemy skills had attracted the attention of multiple outer peaks. If he were to display his wealth too, it would undoubtedly draw even more attention from those with ulterior motives.

The cultivation environment of the outer peaks is relatively safe, but it’s not 100% safe.

From time to time, some malicious incidents happen.

If there’s an opportunity, some high-ranking disciples don’t mind playing the role of robbers. After all, as long as they’re not caught, who knows what they’ve done?

After ail, it’s killing and robbery with a golden waistband.

Three months later…

Little Guanhai Peak.

Han Yi walked into a room, in which stood more than a dozen female cultivators.

“Junior Brother Han has arrived. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Chu Jinmo stood up, her long hair today tied up in a bun, revealing an even more enchanting face, still wearing the gray robe of an outer disciple.

“Sister Chu, hello to all of you.” Han Yi bowed his hands.

The female cultivators in front of him were at least at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, most of them at the fifth layer, and there were even people like Chu Jinmo at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation present.

“Alright, let’s not waste time with small talk, we have already made the purpose of your invitation clear, so let’s get started.”

Yan Ru’s face, as always, showed little expression.

At her words, the many sisters in the room fixed their shining eyes on Han Yi.

Being stared at by so many female cultivators, Han Yi was honestly a bit nervous, and it took him some time to steady his mind and slowly speak.

“Today is our first transaction, and I’ve brought a portion of the pills I’ve saved up over the past year.”

“They are the Exorcising Evil Spirits Pill and the Nurturing Qi Pill.”

“Although there are not many types, please rest assured, my Exorcising Evil Spirits Pill and Nurturing Qi Pill are definitely of excellent quality among ordinary pills and can play an important role in the cultivation of the fifth and sixth layers of Qi.”

“You can identify them on the spot.”

Han Yi walked to a table and took out ten bottles of Nurturing Qi Pills and five bottles of Exorcising Evil Spirits Pills he had prepared from his storage bag.

Today, he was invited by Chu Jinmo to sell his pills privately on the Small Guanhai Peak.

Over two months ago, after Han Yi had refused Chu Jinmo’s invitation to move to Small Guanhai Peak, she did not give up but came to him in the following days.

Finally, after understanding Chu Jinmo’s needs, Han Yi had an idea.

He had some surplus pills that needed to be sold in the market.

The disciples of Small Guanhai Peak happened to need to buy pills, and they wanted to avoid the market and official channels and use private channels instead with the hope of getting them at a cheaper price.

After all, the official and market channels meant middlemen making a profit, but private transactions eliminated these intermediary fees and indirectly reduced the cost.

Today was the agreed-upon day for the private transaction with Chu Jinmo.

The objects of the transaction were the female cultivators in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating on Small Guanhai Peak.

On the scene.

After Han Yi set out the pills, the female cultivators came forward one after another, pouring the pills out of the jade bottles, smelling, pinching, and observing them.

The more they appraised, the brighter their eyes became.

“Not bad, the quality is really good.”

“This is even better than what I bought in the market.”

“No wonder Uncle Qi said your alchemy skill is very strong.”

“I wonder if Brother Han has a Dao partner?”

Surrounded by the female cultivators, Han Yi remained calm and composed, not answering the question about the Dao partner.

He had learned that the Uncle Qi mentioned by these female cultivators was that plump middle-aged woman he had encountered during the sect’s assessment.

Only after everyone had appraised the pills did he slowly speak up.

“According to the market price, one Nurturing Qi Pill is about one and a half Spirit Stones; since we are trading privately, it can be cheaper. Ten Nurturing Qi Pills will cost twelve Spirit Stones, a discount of three stones, equivalent to a 20% discount. I think this shows enough sincerity.”

“Besides, as you can all see, the quality of my Nurturing Qi Pills is much better than what’s available in the market.”

“As for the Exorcising Evil Spirits Pill, the market price is five Spirit Stones, but I’m also offering a 20% discount, so you only need four.”

“Additionally, there will be no bargaining. We can either make a deal, or I will leave immediately.”

A moment later.

Han Yi walked out of the room with satisfaction, Chu Jinmo following by his side.

“Sister Chu, I’ll leave now. Next time 1 save more pills, 1 will inform you about the time for trading.”

Han Yi bowed his hands, preparing to leave. Inside the room, his voice had just fallen and the pills were sold out within ten seconds, showing just how popular his pills were at these prices.

“Alright, on behalf of many younger sisters, 1 would like to thank Brother Han.”

Chu Jinmo smiled faintly but continued to ask, “By the way, Brother Han, did you happen to see anyone you’re interested in among those younger sisters?”

“If you have any preference, you can tell me, and 1 will play matchmaker for you.”

Han Yi forced a smile: “Sister Chu, with my low realm, I dare not reach for the stars.”

Chu Jinmo tilted her head and thought, “Although you are only at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, your alchemy skill is outstanding. With such a skill, you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources, so it’s only a matter of time before you reach the fifth and sixth layers of Qi Cultivation.”

“Besides, if 1 haven’t broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation by the time you reach the sixth, 1 might consider becoming your Dao partner.”

Chu Jinmo’s face was serious, while Han Yi hurriedly turned to flee, leaving behind her melodious laughter.

In all honesty, Chu Jinmo’s appearance and figure were really quite good, and Han Yi was partial to her voice, which scored full marks.

However, Han Yi had too many secrets and wasn’t suitable to have a Dao partner by his side.

So he had to let it go.

Han Yi returned to his courtyard, laid out the Spirit Stones he had obtained from the transaction, and obtained nearly two hundred more.

Moreover, he still had half of the pills in his hands.

He was extra cautious, not taking all the pills out, and used the excuse that this batch was only a part of the inventory he had saved up for over a year.

He continued to cultivate.

His days became even more peaceful and solid.

Han Yi divided his pills into three portions: one part was exchanged for sect points to buy alchemy materials, one part was supplied to the female cultivators of Small Guanhai Peak, and the last part was sold in the market.

In this way, the risk was minimized, and few people had any doubts.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed..
