At the Xu family's shop in Taichang Market, inside the ancestral hall, two Money Trees swayed gracefully.

Coins-sized leaves shimmered with a spiritual light, reflecting the purple glow from the sky.

Under the trees, Xu Qingyu of the Xu Family looked at the report below and drank a mouthful of wine dejectedly.

"How much is the Ye family hiding? Not to mention the Tier Two Fire Heart Pill and Tier Two Purple Wood Pill, they even have the Tier Two Jade Soul Pill."

"As far as I know, Ye Haicheng of the Ye Family is just a Body Cultivator." Xu Qingyu took another sip of wine.

There was no response; he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator here, and the other Xu Family members naturally did not dare to speak.

Even if they belonged to the "Wen" generation, this Qingyu was of the "Qing" generation.

The Xu Family's shop in Taichang Market was an Alchemy Shop, unlike the Mo Family, who focused on making Array Discs and had far fewer cultivators to support.

"Qingyu, the patriarch asked us to wait." An old man entered from the doorway.

"I've already investigated; the Ye Family is not to be feared. This time they only sent five people. Once their Spirit Pills are sold out, they'll be in a predicament, either to raise prices or to bring pills from Taihang Commandery from afar. Even if our Xu Family doesn't act, other families will."

"Uncle Wen Yuan, you indeed have investigated thoroughly!" Xu Qingyu stood up repeatedly.

Although Xu Wen Yuan hadn't broken through to Foundation Establishment, he held great authority in the Xu Family, as his father was Xu Chunlin, the Xu Family's ancestor.

However, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was still a challenging task, even for Purple Mansion Cultivators who found it difficult to help.

"I've already discussed this with the Taiqiu Kong Family. The Ye Family can't stir up waves, but you, Qingyu, must focus on your cultivation. After the Mo Family incident, the Sect was displeased with the Taihang Mountain Range, and a large-scale purge might occur!" Xu Wen Yuan said.

Xu Qingyu, as a member of the Xu Family's younger generation, was naturally in the spotlight since he became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Alright, I will strive hard!"

"The family has gathered some evidence against the Ye Family, so don't make any moves against them for now, lest you alert the enemy!" Xu Wen Yuan advised again.

The latter nodded silently.

...

At the Chu Ye Pavilion, as more cultivators arrived, many Foundation Establishment cultivators went around the second floor.

Ye Jingcheng, although it was his first time as a seller, had experienced similar scenes at the nearby shops in recent days.

He also imitated Jin's Shop by offering Spirit Tea and socializing with those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This time, he didn't serve Spring Tea but instead brought out Tier Two Yunfu Tea.

However, he only left a small half pot each time, ensuring it could only fill two cups.

When the tea was finished, it signaled the end of the visit.

Therefore, even though Yunfu Tea was precious, it was impossible for the Foundation Establishment cultivators to drink more. In contrast, after savoring the Spirit Tea, they would at least buy a Tier Two Spirit Pill.

Just in one day, Ye Jingcheng sold three Purple Wood Pills and two Fire Heart Pills, with each Purple Wood Pill priced at 350 Spirit Stones and each Fire Heart Pill at 320 Spirit Stones, totaling 1,710 Spirit Stones.

Out of this, just for his role as an Alchemy Master, he got thirty percent as the cost of alchemy fees.

Adding a ten percent profit share, he earned 700 Spirit Stones.

Of course, he was aware that this was tied to the special period in Taichang Market currently, but the Ye Family's reputation had been firmly established.

The circle of Foundation Establishment cultivators was small, and they were generally familiar with each other.

The only regret was the Jade Soul Pill, which many looked at but did not purchase.

Ye Jingcheng was not in a hurry; he organized the second-floor scene and looked across, where Chu Yanqing was.

Today, the Ye family's opening benefited the accompanying Chu Family, whose business was also booming.

This, in turn, helped the Chu Family.

Of course, he recognized that the Chu Family also benefited the Ye Family.

Without the Chu Family's early opening, the Ye family's business might have been halved.

"Care to taste some Yunfu Tea?"

"Your Yunfu Tea has only two mouthfuls, so it's unnecessary." Chu Yanqing shook her head, causing Ye Jingcheng to frown slightly.

He realized he had spoken too much.

Chu Yanqing, extremely competitive, had secluded herself for a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment after he mentioned chatting with Foundation Establishment cultivators and volunteered for a mission afterward.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yanqing took the initiative to approach.

Chu Ye Pavilion was divided into two shop sections, one belonging to the Chu Family and the other to the Ye Family.

A long corridor separated them.

"Try our Chu Family's Tier Two Cloud Leisure Tea. Although it's not as good as the Li Family's Yunfu Tea, it's close enough." Chu Yanqing actively poured tea for Ye Jingcheng.

After pouring tea, she spoke up.

"Thank you for today." Ye Jingcheng was a bit surprised but did not respond.

He merely nodded, drank the tea, and without even looking at Chu Yanqing's eyes.

At this moment, Chu Yanqing, standing outside the spiritual mist of Cloud Leisure Tea, glanced at Ye Jingcheng, drank some Spirit Tea, said no more, and returned to her table, continuing to watch over the Chu Family's Artifact Refining Shop.

Her cheeks were puffed up.

She clearly hadn't expected Ye Jingcheng to be so indifferent.

Ye Jingcheng finally felt satisfied.

He organized the items again, put away the Spirit Pills on the counter, and headed down to the first floor.

On the first floor, Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xingyi were still busy, but all of them were smiling broadly.

Only Ye Jingyun turned to Ye Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, the Tier One Upper Grade Qi Replenishing Pill with Spirit Fragrance and Red Ganoderma Pill are all sold out. Should we bring out more today?" Ye Jingyun was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't speak directly; instead, he used voice transmission.

On the first day of opening, the Ye family sold many Spirit Pills. After deducting costs, store rent, and shares, the Ye family earned a substantial profit in just one day.
