"Spirit Condensation Jade!"

Li Xiaoyao was startled, for such an immortal medicine required an immense stroke of fortune to encounter even once. He had once been fortunate enough in the burial site of the first Valley Master of Medicine God Valley to come across a Spirit Condensation Jade.

Indeed, Spirit Condensation Jade was miraculous, not only resurrecting Zhuo Yi but also transforming her constitution, granting her a Ninth Rank Spirit Root. The remaining half of the Spirit Condensation Jade even allowed Nie Xiaoqian to condense her physical body and see the light of day once more.

However, possessing such extraordinary efficacy, this peerless treasure might only exist as a singular specimen on the entire Earth.

"We're even?" Li Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled, "Miss Xiaoqing, I gave you the Soul Fusion Pill, and our accounts were settled long ago. If we have to talk about owing favors, it should be you who owes one."

"Is that so?" Xiaoqing's lips curved upward, her fingertips gliding over his cheek, then down to his chest. The soft touch of her fingertips combined with the fragrance wafting into his nose made Li Xiaoyao feel somewhat intoxicated.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, you would already be dead."

"This..." Li Xiaoyao indeed couldn't deny this point. His life was indeed saved by her.

Xiaoqing's smile deepened as she continued, "After waking up, don't you feel that the spiritual power inside you has become more condensed? And that the strength of your body has grown significantly stronger?"

"If I hadn't ground that monk's Golden Core into powder to heal you, how could you have made a breakthrough in such a hopeless situation?"

"Now, do you still think it's me who owes a favor?"

Looking at the delicate face so close at hand and the skin that seemed fragile enough to break at a touch, Li Xiaoyao felt a surge of impulse to push her down. But, he suppressed that urge well, because he knew clearly that if he really did so, there would soon be an additional corpse here.

"Cough, cough." Avoiding her gaze, Li Xiaoyao said, "Spirit Condensation Jade, I do know where there might be some."

"You know?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but become excited, her face alight with joy as she exhaled a fragrant breath: "Where?"

"Medicine God Valley."

"You know the place? Take me there right now," Xiaoqing said urgently, grabbing his arm.

"Hey, wait, wait," Li Xiaoyao grabbed her hand, saying helplessly, "There's only one Spirit Condensation Jade there..."

"Spirit Condensation Jade is a treasure even in the Immortal Realm. Do you think such things are as common as cabbages?" Xiaoqing shook her head, feeling that Li Xiaoyao was really clueless.

"Can you let me finish? What I mean is, that Spirit Condensation Jade has already been used by me."

"You used it!" Xiaoqing's expression froze, her face cycling through a range of emotions.

"I used it before, to save someone," Li Xiaoyao apologized slightly: "If I had known you needed it, I would have saved some for you."

Xiaoqing remained silent for a long while before finally letting out a long sigh, "Such is fortune; such is fate."

Li Xiaoyao looked at her with a strange expression: "You believe in fate?"

Xiaoqing laughed at herself and didn't answer the question.

"Besides Spirit Condensation Jade, won't anything else work?"

"Refining Spirit Qinglian, Yuan Shen, they could also work, but this is the Mortal Realm, how could there possibly be such rare treasures here?" Xiaoqing had already lost hope.

These herbs, Li Xiaoyao had never even heard of, and he feared that not even the Mysterious System would have them for sale. Of course, if they were for sale, they would certainly be exorbitantly priced.

"That Spirit Condensation Jade may have been used by me, but the rootstock is still there. If you can wait..."

Hearing there was still a rootstock, even before he could finish, Xiaoqing had already excitedly grabbed his hand again: "Take me there."

"Just a rootstock, is that useful to you?"

"Take me to see first." Whether it's useful or not, she would know once she saw it.

"Let me see the direction to Medicine God Valley..." Li Xiaoyao looked around, this was a desolate area, and he could only use the sun to determine direction.

"Over there."

"Let's go."

With a flick of their blue sleeves, the two of them instantly soared into the sky, flying towards Medicine God Valley.

From the Lop Nur to Zhongnan Mountain was over two thousand kilometers. Li Xiaoyao had wanted to test his own speed, but before he could speak, Qinglian had already carried him off in flight.

The speed of Qinglian was truly terrifying; in just a few minutes, they had covered the over two thousand kilometers and arrived.

Standing in the air above the mountain top, Li Xiaoyao surveyed the area and said, "Follow me."

Li Xiaoyao leaned down to look below where there was a cluster of ancient architecture. A group of people was waiting outside the buildings, all of them there to request medicine.

"Look, there are immortals!"

"It really is an immortal!"

"The immortals have revealed themselves!"

The sight of the two figures flying through the air caught the attention of those below seeking medicine. They looked up at the pair, who appeared to fly like immortals, their expressions filled with excitement.

Inside Medicine God Valley, several elders and Cheng Yiyi were together discussing the medicinal herbs grown from the seeds Li Xiaoyao had brought.

"What? Sell them?" One elder expressed dissatisfaction, waving his hands and shaking his head, "Absolutely not, such natural treasures cannot be sold. It is out of the question; I disagree."

Cheng Yiyi said, "A single herb can sell for millions, so why not sell it?"

"Millions? Hah." The elder scoffed. "What use do worldly riches have for us? If those alchemists and cultivators found out that Medicine God Valley traded such treasures for money, they would probably laugh us to death."

Cheng Yiyi's face was grim. Ever since she had arrived at Medicine God Valley, she had never had a pleasant interaction with these old fellows.

In their eyes, herbs should be used only for concocting pill medicine or for preservation. The idea of buying and selling had never crossed their minds.

Such a bunch of stubborn old men.

Cheng Yiyi had also asked them what Medicine God Valley relied on for its livelihood if not selling, and the answer she received left her unable to argue.

They had said, "Does Medicine God Valley need to demean itself by selling medicinal herbs for a living? Do you see those people outside seeking medicine? I could simply give them a pill, and they would be willing to pay tens of millions, even hundreds of millions for it."

It was really impossible to communicate any further. Cheng Yiyi was frustrated; these stubborn elders never took her seriously, and even with her connection to Li Xiaoyao, she only had the right to speak to them on an equal footing.

Yet such equality was not equality at all.

What they respected was Li Xiaoyao, not her.

She had also spoken to the Valley Master about this matter. The Valley Master's attitude was positive, but when it came to commercializing the sale of medicinal herbs, the Valley Master always hemmed and hawed, avoiding a direct answer.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two gusts of wind sounded from the sky. The crowd looked towards the noise and saw two figures rapidly approaching.

"That is!"

"Flight through the void!"

"Spirit Condensation Realm powerhouses!"

The crowd was astonished. They could only see two figures flying at high speed, unable to discern their faces.

"That's the place." Li Xiaoyao murmured softly, controlling his angle and descending downwards.
