Two months later, Xu Mu’an was able to refine more and more dan1 medicine, and he could even refine high-level dan medicine like the Yuan-Nourishing Dan.
“Mu’an, you’re really amazing!” Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Yuan-Nourishing Dan was effective for cultivators from the seventh to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. Previously, Xiao Jingting had exchanged some Yuan-Nourishing Dan with the Hou Family, and he had almost consumed them during this period.
Xu Mu’an’s ability to refine Yuan-Nourishing Dan solved the current shortage of dan medicine perfectly.
The people of the Hou Family were quite stingy. They collected a bunch of spirit herbs but didn’t give out many dan medicines. But it was understandable that the Hou Family was stingy. After all, to refine this Yuan-Nourishing Dan, Xu Mu’an wasted quite a lot of spirit herbs.
Xu Mu’an smiled and said, “It’s not that amazing.”
Thinking of the wasted spirit herbs, Xu Mu’an couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed. Fortunately, Xiao Jingting’s jade pendant space could continuously produce various precious spirit herbs. Otherwise, if he had ruined so many spirit herbs, he might have been troubled long ago. If it were an ordinary alchemist like himself who wasted so many spirit herbs, they might have given up long ago.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Mu’an and said, “Is your body okay? If not, you should rest for a few days.”
Xu Mu’an touched his stomach and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Back then, when I was pregnant with Xiao Fan, I used to go hunting in the mountains every day. Refining dan medicine is not tiring for me; I know my limits.” However, he should start preparing early as he was about to give birth soon.
Xiao Jingting was taken aback for a moment and said, “You’ve worked hard.”
Xu Mu’an smiled, leaned against Xiao Jingting, and said, “As long as you’re here, I have nothing else to ask for.”
Xiao Jingting hugged Xu Mu’an, feeling a deep sense of heartache.
…
A knock sounded, and Xiao Xiaodong rubbed his eyes and got up to open the door.
Looking at the man in red at the door, Xiao Xiaodong frowned, “You’re here! It’s so early.”
Tian Fei shook his folding fan and said with emphasis, “It’s not early. The early bird catches the worm! Little friend, you should develop the habit of going to bed and getting up early.”
Xiao Xiaodong asked with some suspicion, “But I heard that you do business at night! Does the saying ‘the early bird catches the worm’ apply to you too?”
Tian Fei: … This kid is not cute at all.
“Where’s your father?” Tian Fei asked.
“Are you here to buy the Zhuang Yang2 Dan?” Xiao Fan popped out from behind Xiao Xiaodong and asked.
Tian Fei nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Dad, it’s already prepared. Brother, bring it out.” Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said.
Xiao Xiaodong came out with a large jar, which contained hundreds of Strong Yang Dan pills.
Seeing the jar full of dan medicine, Tian Fei felt like he had seen a mountain of silver, and he smiled happily.
“Brother Xiao is indeed a man of his word!” Tian Fei said with satisfaction. He was initially worried that Xiao Jingting wouldn’t be able to produce so much dan medicine, but Xiao Jingting had actually prepared it.
Xiao Fan curiously looked at Tian Fei and said, “Uncle, are you buying so many dan medicines to eat as snacks?”
Tian Fei heard Xiao Fan’s words and was taken aback for a moment. Eat the Strong Yang Dan as snacks? He didn’t have the courage for that; it would be deadly.
“No,” Tian Fei said.
“Uncle, have you ever eaten it? Is this dan medicine tasty?” Xiao Fan asked.
Tian Fei: … He hadn’t eaten it! He bought it for others to eat. He had no problem at all and didn’t need to eat this stuff.
“I want to eat it, but my brother won’t let me. Not only won’t he let me eat it, but he also hits me.” Xiao Fan complained, glaring at Xiao Xiaodong.
Tian Fei: … Hitting you is right. Can you just eat this casually?
“This dan medicine doesn’t taste good at all. It’s sour, bitter, and stinky.” Tian Fei said with a disgusted expression.
Xiao Fan widened his eyes and looked Tian Fei up and down. “So Uncle, you’ve eaten it! My dad said that people who eat this dan medicine must have some health problems. Since Xiao Fan is healthy, he can’t eat it.” Xiao Fan looked at Tian Fei, showing a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Tian Fei turned around and fled with the Strong Yang Dan in hand. These two brats! The female cultivators in the academy said these two kids were cute, but where’s the cuteness? He couldn’t see it at all.
…
Pei Song had been waiting for Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an to fail in refining dan medicine and leave the Bi Feng Academy. However, Xiao Jingting’s Strong Yang Dan sold very well, and neither of them showed any intention of leaving.
Pei Song looked at Tian Fei, who was dressed in red, with a frown and a gloomy expression. “This Tian Fei guy seems to be quite pleased with himself!”
Mo Bei nodded and said, “I heard that his flower house has been doing very well recently. It’s no wonder he’s so pleased.”
“As a member of the academy, he actually opened a brothel, tarnishing the reputation of the academy. It’s a wonder he has the face to wander around the academy. He’s not Ger but he dresses like neither a man nor a woman all day long. I really don’t know what he’s thinking,” Pei Song said disdainfully.
Mo Bei smiled bitterly and said, “Although Tian Fei’s methods are somewhat inferior, his ability to make money is not bad at all!” Tian Fei was generous with his money. There were few people in the academy richer than him.
Pei Song snorted coldly and said, “He only knows how to engage in these crooked ways.”
Mo Bei looked at Pei Song helplessly. Tian Fei used to pursue Pei Song. Pei Song felt ashamed of it and looked at Tian Fei with disgust. After Tian Fei pursued him for a while, finding it boring, he shifted his focus. Pei Song felt even more disgusted with Tian Fei.
“What is he doing?” Pei Song asked, looking at Tian Fei who was distributing flyers.
“It seems he’s handing out flyers. He seems to have organized a courtesan competition with several brothels,” Mo Bei said.
Pei Song said with a constipated expression, “He’s really going all out.”
“Xiao Jingting and Tian Fei seem to have a good relationship. Xiao Jingting’s Strong Yang Dan seems to have helped Tian Fei a lot,” Mo Bei said.
“Xiao Jingting doesn’t seem to have that many Strong Yang Dan. I wonder where he got so many.” Pei Song said.
“It should be refined. The Strong Yang Dan refined by Xiao Jingting is quite effective. Presumably, the formulas he has are somewhat special,” Mo Bei said.
Pei Song heard that Xiao Jingting’s Strong Yang Dan had a very good effect. Presumably, the person had some special formulas.
Mo Bei didn’t know that Xiao Jingting found that adding a little Ling Spring water when refining dan medicine could greatly increase the success rate of the pills and improve their quality.
“This Xiao Jingting guy insists on refining this dan medicine even though it’s not easy to refine. He must not be a good person,” Pei Song said disdainfully.
Mo Bei nodded and said, “Yes! Birds of a feather flock together.” Xiao Qingyan was very concerned about his reputation. If his younger brother sold Strong Yang Dan in the academy, he would definitely feel ashamed. Unfortunately, he was not in the academy now.
…
In a pavilion, several female cultivators of the Bi Feng Academy gathered.
“I haven’t seen those two little rascals who sell dan medicine recently! Actually, the pills they sell, like the Qi-Recovery Dan, are quite useful,” a yellow-clothed female cultivator said.
“The Detoxification Dan is also good,” a red-clothed female cultivator added.
“The Qi-Recovery Dan and the Detoxification Dan are indeed good, but actually, those are nothing. The signature medicine those two little rascals sell is the Strong Yang Dan. I heard that this medicine is really effective,” a blue-clothed female cultivator said with a grin.
“Xinlan, you have no shame,” the yellow-clothed female cultivator said helplessly.
“Biting Junior Sister, I heard you bought the Strong Yang Dan! I wonder how effective it is,” Xinlan asked with curiosity.
The green-clothed female cultivator smiled and said, “Effectiveness? I don’t know either! With such a big reputation, it must be good. I still have a few bottles here. If you want, I can sell them to you for three hundred taels per bottle.”
“Biting Junior Sister, you’re even more expensive than Brother Tian! He sells them for two hundred taels each when he resells them,” the red-clothed female cultivator shook her head helplessly and said.
Biting smiled and said, “I’m better looking than Brother Tian. What’s wrong with selling them for a higher price?”
“Biting Junior Sister, if you say that, Brother Tian might come and hit you!”
“Brother Tian wouldn’t be so petty,” Biting lowered her head. After buying the medicine, she gave it to her younger brother with a dead horse as a living horse doctor attitude. She didn’t expect her brother to say that the medicine was very effective after taking it. Biting quickly went to buy a bunch of pills secretly, including the Strong Yang Dan.
- Dan = A type of pills for cultivators?
Sometimes Dan fits better but in other sentence I used pills…
2. Strong Yang = Strong Yang pills, the one to help men…?
