Zhu Qiuniang left, taking with her the five hundred refined Bai Lu Dan and two hundred Tian Gui Dan of Gao Xian.
Gao Xian sat on the bed, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to deal with the Tian Gui Dan in his hands.
Zhu Qiuniang and Zhou Yuling both proved the miraculous effects of Tian Gui Dan, which were indeed very suitable for female cultivators to consume.
As for the anti-aging effects of Tian Gui Dan, it was difficult to see immediate results.
Nevertheless, Tian Gui Dan would definitely be welcomed by female cultivators.
The question was, who to entrust with selling them.
It was obviously inappropriate to entrust Zhou Ye. Putting all eggs in one basket was a very simple principle.
Moreover, Zhou Ye was, after all, a man. It was fine for him to sell male enhancement pills, but it was not very convenient for him to sell Tian Gui Dan specifically for women.
Zhou Yuling was also not suitable.
He really liked Zhou Yuling and didn't want to do business with her.
When emotions and interests were mixed, things would become complicated.
There was no choice but to ask Zhu Qiuniang to help him find a business partner.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry. He only had a hundred Tian Gui Dan left in his hands, so it was fine to wait for a while.
What he was more concerned about was whether Tian Gui Dan could increase the Daoist luminosity in people.
When Zhou Yuling and Zhu Qiuniang consumed it, he had seen a slight increase in their Daoist luminosity at the center of their eyebrows.
However, since many people had consumed Deer Antler Powder, which could also increase Daoist luminosity, it was difficult for him to determine the source of the increase in Daoist luminosity.
"The increase in Daoist luminosity is too fast sometimes, it can also be a kind of trouble!"
Gao Xian sighed pretentiously, casually grabbed a passing black kitten and petted it until it meowed softly in surrender.
In the following days, Gao Xian's routine consisted of cultivating, eating, petting the cat, sleeping, and finally dual cultivating with Lan Jie in his dreams.
Every few days, Gao Xian would refine pills in the alchemy furnace.
As the weather got hotter, it became more unbearable during the pill refining process.
Fortunately, Gao Xian's alchemy skills had greatly improved. Even the most difficult Bai Lu Dan to refine only took a day to complete.
Moreover, the success rate was extremely high. There had been no failures whenever he refined pills.
This allowed him to dare to refine a large quantity of pills in one go, saving a lot of time and energy.
The days were simple yet fulfilling, and his cultivation improved a little every day. Gao Xian enjoyed this rhythm.
In just over twenty days, his Daoist luminosity had accumulated over seven hundred points.
Gao Xian felt inexplicably happy watching his Daoist luminosity continuously increase.
With so much Daoist luminosity, it was enough to elevate the True Yang Spear to the Grandmaster level.
However, he was a bit reluctant.
At the current rate of increase in Daoist luminosity, in another two months, he could elevate the Electric Light Subduing Dragon Hand to the Grandmaster level.
Compared to that, although the True Yang Spear was useful, there was no need to rush.
The evil spirit transformed by Lao Wang was almost annihilated by one strike of the True Yang Spear. Even if it didn't die, it was not a threat.
Investing so much Daoist luminosity into the True Yang Spear seemed a bit wasteful.
Each upgrade of the Electric Light Subduing Dragon Hand could strengthen and transform the muscles and bones.
Gao Xian speculated that once the Electric Light Subduing Dragon Hand reached the Grandmaster level, it should be able to strengthen the spine.
In that case, the acupoint on the spine might open, allowing his cultivation to advance to the third layer of Qi Cultivation.
Zhu Qiuniang and Zhou Yuling had reminded him that spells and pills were just supplements, and the foundation of a cultivator lay in their cultivation.
Only with strong cultivation could a cultivator have greater power and a longer lifespan.
Gao Xian deeply agreed with this.
Although the True Yang Spear was good, it was obviously not as helpful to him now as the Electric Light Subduing Dragon Hand.
In fact, Gao Xian was more eager to upgrade the Great Occult Divine Art, but the amount of Daoist luminosity needed for the upgrade was too much, so he had to settle for the next best option.
On this day, Zhu Qiuniang came again. Every eight to ten days, she would come to Gao Xian's place to collect pills.
As per usual, Zhu Qiuniang guided Gao Xian in cultivating the Iron Dragon Hand and answered some of his cultivation doubts.
"You are progressing quickly. It won't be long before you can refine the Dragon Spine," Zhu Qiuniang said, running her finger down Gao Xian's spine. Although it was still painful for Gao Xian, he could endure the pain.
During this period, Gao Xian consumed Dragon Bone Pills every day and could clearly feel that his bones were becoming stronger and more powerful, including a significant increase in muscle strength.
"Qiuniang, how effective is the Tian Gui Dan?" Gao Xian asked.
"Very good," Zhu Qiuniang replied. She was very satisfied with the effects of Tian Gui Dan. After consuming it for some time, her transformed body had significantly improved.
At this rate, within a year, her body should be able to return to normal.
By that time, she might even have the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Back in the bedroom, Gao Xian gave Zhu Qiuniang a thorough massage.
Wrapped in intimate clothing that clung to Qiuniang's soft and sticky body, her wheat-colored arms and long legs were exposed. The fine sweat on her skin added a beautiful gloss, making her look like a delicate work of art.
A thought crossed Gao Xian's mind: a jade body lying horizontally.
After her body transformation, Qiuniang's personality had become more tough and indifferent, caring less about anything else.
As her body gradually returned to normal, she would no longer be able to treat him as just a playmate.
Seeing Gao Xian's intense gaze, Qiuniang felt a sense of shyness and unease from within.
She quickly changed the subject, saying, "I've thought about it, only Huang Ying from the Bai Bing Tang would be suitable. She has a good character, is discreet, has a wealthy background, and won't be greedy for your money.
"Moreover, her cultivation level is quite good, she has a backing in the Lianyun Sect, and isn't afraid of Lao Zhu. I also have a good relationship with her."
Talking about business matters, Qiuniang relaxed a bit, "I've already given her twenty Tian Gui Dan. After consuming them for some time, she has also experienced the wonderful effects of Tian Gui Dan."
"With this foundation, discussing cooperation will be easier."
Gao Xian was delighted, not expecting Qiuniang to be so efficient in arranging things properly.
Excitedly, he said, "That's great. Whenever it's convenient, I'd like to meet with Huang Ying."
Qiuniang thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring her over tonight to discuss with you."
In theory, with Gao Xian's lower status, he should have gone to meet Huang Ying. However, it was better to keep such matters discreet.
Furthermore, Gao Xian's place was filled with medicinal materials and couldn't do without people.
Qiuniang thought for a moment and asked, "What if Lao Zhu doesn't allow you to sell them? What will you do?"
"Forget about it, sell them first and deal with the consequences later." Gao Xian, as a middle-aged office worker, was very good at skirting the rules.
Some things were strictly prohibited, but would you stop doing them? One must maintain their bottom line while being flexible.
Qiuniang nodded and said nothing more.
As the new moon rose, insects chirped and frogs croaked.
Huang Ying followed behind Qiuniang, her figure light as a cloud, walking without touching the ground, her clothes fluttering gently, displaying an elegant posture.
She was using the Feather Flying Technique, allowing her to move as lightly and gracefully as a feather.
The roads here were muddy, littered with all kinds of garbage. Although the Flying Fish Talisman couldn't make her truly fly, with a little borrowed force, she could float far away, enough to avoid the embarrassment of stepping on dung.
"We're here."
Qiuniang stopped in front and waved to Huang Ying, "The wall is low, we can just go in directly."
Huang Ying grabbed Qiuniang's wrist and cautiously said, "Is it too rude to enter like this?"
During this period, she had been consuming Tian Gui Dan every day. This ordinary pill had brought her great surprises.
Her skin had become firmer and more tender, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes had disappeared, the Yin energy in her body was pure and lively, her spirit was full, and she seemed to have returned to the age of eighteen.
Most importantly, this low-level pill like Tian Gui Dan could be fully absorbed by her.
This meant that Tian Gui Dan could be consumed long-term without accumulating pill toxins.
Such Tian Gui Dan was simply a divine pill. The person who could refine such a pill was definitely an alchemy master!
Although the place where the other party lived was very dilapidated, she and Qiuniang couldn't just barge in, it would be too rude!
Qiuniang didn't explain, she grabbed Huang Ying's wrist and exerted force, and the two of them leaped over the nine-foot-high earthen wall and landed in the courtyard.
Qiuniang whispered, "I've brought Huang Zhuangguai here."
The door opened, and Gao Xian walked out with a smile, "Sister Ying, Qiuniang, please come in..."
In the dim moonlight, Huang Ying recognized the handsome man as Gao Xian at a glance, the young cultivator who had bought the White Plum Needle.
Huang Ying was somewhat surprised. She knew that Gao Xian could refine pills, but she never expected that the twenty-year-old Gao Xian could refine such a special Tian Gui Dan!
