Chapter 21
Qingyun Sect, Legacy Valley.
It had been half a year since Lu Yuan obtained the recipe for the marrow-cleansing pill.
In this half a year, he first spent three months understanding the situation.
After that, he started the business of trading cultivation pills for marrow-cleansing pills.
Even though his actions did not violate the specific rules of the Qingyun Sect, it was still a shady operation. Thus, Lu Yuan had always been very careful, afraid that someone would get hold of his weakness.
It had been three months since the start of the business, and Lu Yuan had already obtained 30 marrow-cleansing pills.
However, today was the last time he would be doing this.
He was planning to stop the business after today and concentrate on his cultivation.
On the one hand, he had almost used up all the cultivation pills he had saved up and was temporarily unable to produce more for trade any time soon.
Although his success rate in refining cultivation pills had exceeded 100% and he could steadily produce 20 cultivation pills every day, he needed to keep a large portion of the pills for his cultivation. He couldn’t trade them all.
Thus, Lu Yuan had very limited spare cultivation pills.
Another reason why he wanted to stop the business was that he had noticed something wrong.
He realized that he seemed to have underestimated the direct disciples’ need for cultivation pills.
In the beginning, Lu Yuan couldn’t even meet direct disciples who were willing to trade with him. This caused him to be unable to hand over the goods even though he had them.
However, after the news spread, the demand and supply of the market instantly reversed.
Lu Yuan now received a large number of requests for trade in the secret stronghold every day.
This made him instinctively feel that he couldn’t go on like this.
Many things might not happen when the matter was still small, but if the matter were to blow up, it would be dangerous.
Lu Yuan felt that this was the case for his cultivation pills trading business.
No matter how one looked at it, he was using the cultivation pill to exchange for the marrow-cleansing pill, which meant he was taking advantage of the sect.
The materials used to make the cultivation pill were provided by the sect, and the marrow-cleansing pills he obtained were also refined by the sect.
It was equivalent to him having changed the sect’s resources from his left hand to his right hand, obtaining the sect’s resources that he couldn’t obtain at the current stage.
Lu Yuan’s role in this was only that of a processor and a distributor.
Even though he didn’t break any sect rules, such behavior of taking advantage of the loopholes was extremely dangerous no matter which world he was in.
Today, just today. After today, he would stop. After all, he should also cultivate properly.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky.
The night was very gloomy, and the dark clouds covered the bright moonlight, making the small forest where he was particularly dark.
That’s strange, why was his trading partner so late today?
Lu Yuan waited for ten minutes, but the other party had not arrived.
A bad feeling rose in his heart.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, a chubby figure walked out from the shadows.
Looking at the other party, Lu Yuan’s gaze turned strange.
How could it be him?
[Name: Bai Dafei]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage, level 4]
Although Bai Dafei had wrapped himself up tightly, Lu Yuan, who was very familiar with the other party, recognized him with a single glance.
In fact, even without this, Lu Yuan, who had the system, could still obtain the information of the other party through the interface.
Bai Dafei had no idea that he had been exposed.
He walked out of the shadows confidently and said, “You must be the person who is trading for the marrow-cleansing pill, right?”
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before nodding his head.
Seeing that Lu Yuan admitted to it, Bai Dafei suddenly laughed.
Then, he took out a medicine bottle and strode toward Lu Yuan.
Looking at the approaching Bai Dafei, Lu Yuan’s sharp senses detected a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Something’s wrong, it’s a trap!
At the thought of this, Lu Yuan did not hesitate to use his divine ability.
Divine ability, Green Flame Technique!
Whoosh!
A green flame rose.
Not only did the sudden green flames force Bai Dafei to retreat, but also made him reveal a stunned expression.
An outer sect disciple with the green flame who needed the marrow-cleansing pills…
Damn, could this guy be his good brother, Lu Yuan?!
The more he thought about it, the more Bai Dafei felt that the other party was Lu Yuan.
This was because all the information matched.
There were only a handful of people in the entire Qingyun Sect who had successfully practiced the Green Flame Technique.
Lu Yuan had never displayed the Green Flame Technique in front of outsiders.
However, don’t forget that Bai Dafei was the one who conducted the outer sect examination for him.
The technique that Lu Yuan had used to refine the cultivation pill back then was the Green Flame Technique!
It could be said that Bai Dafei was the only person in the Qingyun Sect who knew that Lu Yuan had mastered the Green Flame Technique.
Bai Dafei was even more aware that among all the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect, Lu Yuan was the only one who chose the Green Flame Technique and successfully cultivated it.
Damn, to think it was his good brother!
Bai Dafei had never thought that his whimsical agreement to the request of the sect’s little princess, Mu Qiqi, to perform an entrapment would end up with him catching his good brother!
Junior Brother Lu, don’t run! It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! Let him explain!
At this moment, how could Lu Yuan, who was madly running, know so much?
When he had sensed Bai Dafei’s spiritual energy fluctuations, he had thought that the other party was going to take advantage of him instead, so he had naturally fled.
As Lu Yuan ran, he cursed in his heart, “Bai Dafei, you’re really something. I thought you were someone worthy of being friends with. I didn’t expect you to be so vicious.”
The others were all doing business according to the rules. He was the only one who wanted to take advantage of others!
