She patiently waited for Gao Zhuo to make his selection. Given that Gao Zhuo had three items to choose, while she had seven, she let him go first. Once Gao Zhuo finished making his choices, it would be her turn.

However, as time passed, Gu Chaoyan began contemplating the possibility that Gao Zhuo might not have a genuine need for the items.

Considering an alternative approach, she suggested, “If you don’t find anything you need, you can take three pills out of every ten pills. If you prefer Spirit Stones, feel free to handle the exchange yourself. Otherwise, we can continue as we are now.”

Gao Zhuo declined, stating, “No need. Let’s stick with this arrangement. I find it satisfactory.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.

With Gao Zhuo’s decision, she decided to assist him in processing some of the items he had chosen, including crystal Spirit Stones. Gao Zhuo, even after choosing items useful for himself, maintained balance by also selecting the Crystal Spirit Stones.

Gu Chaoyan planned to use the crystal Spirit Stones to craft a sword for Gao Zhuo.

After finalizing the details, Gao Zhuo continued to cooperate, demonstrating kindness throughout the process. He even sold some ordinary pills outside to increase awareness of Kang Shi’s available pills.

Half a month elapsed.

Kang Yan and Ziluo began to sense that something was amiss. The individuals who used to gather for teachings and cultivation had dispersed, diligently focusing on their own practices. Ziluo sought answers, approaching Gu Chaoyan with a question, “Where have those people gone?”

“They’ve chosen to cultivate independently,” the person responded.

“Cultivate on their own? What’s the point?” Ziluo expressed disdain, understanding the challenges of self-guided cultivation.

The individual hesitated, reluctant to divulge the full story. Yet, under Ziluo’s stern glare, they admitted, “Well, here’s the thing. Kang Shi has been refining some remarkable pills lately. They’ve proven highly beneficial for cultivation. Many individuals stuck in the ninth heaven have successfully broken through with Kang Shi’s pills, which has motivated everyone to take a more proactive approach.”

The person continued, “Although Kang Shi can’t cultivate anymore, he’s become quite adept at crafting medicinal pills. They surpass the quality of those in the pill refinement room. I’m planning to exchange for one of his pills; he’s been lingering in the Ninth Heaven.”

“What? Kang Shi, that useless person. Crafting pills? Can he even do that?” Ziluo reacted with disbelief, unsure of Kang Shi’s newfound talent.

The person defended, “It seems genuine. Many, including myself, were struggling to break through the ninth level of the Martial Emperor Realm, and his pills proved effective. Considering your current situation, it might be worth trying.”

Ziluo pondered. If Kang Shi, despite being considered worthless, could indeed refine pills that facilitated breakthroughs, it could potentially save her considerable time. Besides, Kang Shi had always admired her, making the prospect of asking for a pill seem promising.

Contemplating this possibility, Ziluo remained deep in thought.

Ziluo found herself intrigued and contemplated approaching Kang Shi for pills.

However, she couldn’t openly go there without raising questions from Kang Yan. To avoid suspicion, she decided to find a discreet moment to sneak over.

With this plan in mind, Ziluo halted her current cultivation activities and returned to prepare for her covert visit. She was determined to secure one of Kang Shi’s pills, but careful considerations had to be made.

In the past, she had eagerly wished for Kang Shi to stay far away, considering him nothing but a burden. Now, with the revelation of his pill refining abilities, the situation had changed. If he could truly craft effective pills, he could prove valuable in the shadows.

However, the key factor was her own cultivation level. If she were at a high level, having Kang Shi refine pills on her behalf would be advantageous.

Dressing up, Ziluo made her way to Kang Shi’s location.

Upon arrival, she noticed no one around.

Seizing the opportunity, she hurriedly approached Kang Shi.

Gu Chaoyan, in the midst of crafting pills, overheard the approaching footsteps. Assuming it was a disciple coming for an exchange, she stepped out to greet the visitor.
