Chen Li looked at the excited crowd, a joyful smile spreading across his face. These Lone Cultivators were truly adorable. He nodded heavily at them, a light smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Of course. However, the materials still need to be prepared by all of you seniors."
As soon as these words left his mouth, the Lone Cultivators erupted in excitement, their faces filled with joy. How precious was the Breaking Barrier Pill? It was priceless! Not to mention a whole pill; even half a pill was rarely seen on the market, with only the four major factions occasionally releasing some.
Chen Li's offer felt like a huge pie falling from the sky right onto their heads! If they had thought it was a dream when Chen Li first mentioned that each of them would receive a Breaking Barrier Pill, now it truly felt like a dream come true.
"Thank you, young friend Chen Li! Thank you!" Yue Shan exclaimed, his beard twitching with excitement as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude, appearing somewhat incoherent. The other Lone Cultivators echoed his sentiments, their gratitude evident in their expressions. After all, among them, not many had broken through the Mystic Boundary. Even those who had reached that level knew that taking such a high-quality Breaking Barrier Pill would surely propel them to new heights.
In an instant, everyone was buzzing with excitement. This scene did not go unnoticed by the members of Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect. Although they were disciples of their respective sects, treasures like the Breaking Barrier Pill were not something everyone could easily obtain.
Watching these Lone Cultivators reap such great benefits filled them with envy and resentment!
From Heaven's Gate, a young man dressed in a blue robe with sharp features stepped forward and clasped his hands together. "I am Lu Li from Heaven's Gate. It is an honor to meet you, friend Chen Li. Your alchemy skills are truly astonishing."
Lu Li was indeed a standout among the younger generation of Heaven's Gate, with Ji Qingqing already having stepped into the semi-Mystic Boundary realm; he was a key figure being cultivated by Heaven's Gate.
Following him, a burly man radiating heat from Golden Sun Sect stepped forward and cupped his fists. "I am Zhao Lie from Golden Sun Sect. It is an honor to meet you, friend Chen Li. Achieving such accomplishments at such a young age truly shows your limitless potential!"
Zhao Lie was also a prodigy of Golden Sun Sect, renowned for his Solar Palm technique, which was unmatched among his peers.
Their attitudes had clearly changed dramatically from before.
Clearly, both of them had the intention of making a connection.
Chen Li looked at the two, as if he were gazing at two plump sheep delivered right to his doorstep. A glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes; weren't these people like gods of wealth falling from the sky?
Currently, he was struggling to support a hedgehog and also subsidize his sister, leaving him quite poor. If he could open up a market, that would be fantastic.
At that moment, Chen Li's late-night snack became particularly delightful. The two friends praised him profusely. While Chen Li feigned modesty, inside he was overjoyed.
Lu Li and Yan Lie exchanged a few more pleasantries, subtly probing into Chen Li's success rate in refining the Breaking Barrier Pill and the materials required. Chen Li, either intentionally or unintentionally, indicated that if they needed anything, they could place an order with him.
Chen Li knew very well that as long as they truly consumed his Breaking Barrier Pill, it would undoubtedly bring him countless opportunities in the future. After all, no matter which faction they belonged to, their eyes were sharp. It was likely that everyone from any faction would be keeping an eye on such outstanding talents.
Once news of the Breaking Barrier Pill spread, he would surely have countless interested parties knocking on his door. For a moment, the three of them seemed to be on the verge of sealing a deal.
However, just then, a disciple dressed in colorful palace attire from the Holy Spirit Palace suddenly approached and announced loudly: "Friends, my Young Master says that since everyone has already gathered the spiritual herbs, why not set off as soon as possible?"
The Young Master also mentioned that as long as everyone was willing to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Palace to search for the Azure Dragon Sage's token, he would directly gift each friend a high-grade Xuan-level Breaking Barrier Pill.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in excitement. A high-grade Xuan-level Breaking Barrier Pill?!
Chen Ming was surprisingly generous! The disciples from Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect were taken aback. The two who had been chatting animatedly with Chen Li now turned their gazes toward this new development. They had initially intended to build a relationship with Chen Li to obtain a few Breaking Barrier Pills; now that Chen Ming was offering them directly, they found themselves at a crossroads and hardly knew what to think.
Lu Li and Zhao Lie exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation in each other's eyes.
Although Chen Li was skilled in alchemy, he was merely a Lone Cultivator without any background or support. In other words, they had no idea how effective the elixir would be. On the other hand, Chen Ming was the Young Master of the Holy Spirit Palace, with a noble status, formidable strength, and abundant resources. Furthermore, he had obtained the treasured inheritance from Tai Xu Zhenzi, making it exceedingly easy for him to produce some Breaking Barrier Pills.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Li spoke first: "Chen Li, my friend, since Young Master Chen Ming is so generous, we shall take our leave for now." Zhao Lie quickly added, "Farewell, Chen Li. Until we meet again."
With that, the two of them hurriedly led their disciples toward Chen Ming. As Lu Li and Zhao Lie's figures gradually shrank in Chen Li's sight, they eventually disappeared completely. The people from Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect also followed suit.
In a short while, only numerous Lone Cultivators and Xuanjizi remained in the valley. The place felt sparse and particularly desolate.
Chen Li's lips twitched slightly, but he maintained a calm demeanor. It was surprising that these two future stars of major factions were so naive. They had already been deceived by Chen Ming time and again yet still rushed to fall into his trap once more.
Shen Qingyue watched them and couldn't help but curse under her breath, "What a bunch of sycophants!"
The surrounding Lone Cultivators witnessed the scene unfold. An elderly Lone Cultivator with graying hair and a scruffy beard stepped forward and patted Chen Li on the shoulder with a rough voice: "Chen Li, my young friend, don't take it to heart! Those two are just blind! They have perfectly good elixirs but insist on licking Chen Ming's filthy boots! When they suffer losses, they'll know your worth!"
Another short-statured Lone Cultivator chimed in with a grin: "Exactly! That Chen Ming is full of tricks; what good elixirs could he possibly offer? They might just be defective products meant to fool people! Chen Li, my young friend, you should see what powerful elixirs you can still refine; it would be great for us to witness something impressive!"
"Yes, yes!" A tall and thin Lone Cultivator joined in enthusiastically. "Once we recover our vitality, we can go after whatever token they’re looking for! Why should they get all the benefits?"
In no time at all, the Lone Cultivators gathered around Chen Li, each offering words of comfort while belittling Chen Ming.
Chen Li felt their concern clearly and warmth surged within him. Aside from his mother and maternal grandparents' family, he had never experienced such care from others before.
