Chapter 586: A Lucrative Transaction
"You’re quite a unique cutie with your blue hair. I’m sure you’ll become a handsome cultivator in a few years. Don’t forget me when you grow up!"
His eyes widened when he saw her wink, and his mind thundered, making him forget his real age.
’I’m only seven! What the hell are you thinking, temptress?!’

She leaned forward, her violet eyes as vibrant and dangerous as poisonous lotus leaves, making him roll his eyes.
"As for your request, I usually use my dying herbs to refine poor poisonous pills. It’s not really worth it, you know? So, I’d be grateful if you bought them." She shook her head, her voice shifting to curiosity. "Every alchemy shop would be. But why do you need them? I don’t want to scam my cute junior brother of his hard-earned sect points."
Adam retrieved his alchemist robe and showed her the two bronze stars embroidered on the chest.
"I just set up my shop and need to make it profitable as fast as possible. So, I’m aiming for quantity over quality. I’ll sort the pills later and sell the ones with enough medicinal properties while I’ll throw the others."
Xie Lian raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful expression on her face. "A bold strategy, and what talent," she murmured, impressed by the young kid’s skills. After all, she was an alchemist, too. But always failed the official tests because of her poisonous tendencies and special physique.
