r large, azure eyes seemed to pierce the darkness, mesmerizing and alluring with an intensity that could steal one's very soul.The other held a crystal staff in their hand, completely shrouded in a bl...Profit-Loss Pill is considered quite ordinary even among fifth-rank pills, and it posed absolutely no challenge for Ye Bufan.

With his alchemy mastery, he usually managed to refine nine pills in one go, each of them being top-grade. But this time, he didn't do so.

The woman in white appeared so suddenly, she didn't know the other party's identity or their purpose. She had to keep some of her strength for herself.

So he deliberately lowered the standard, one furnace of nine pills, five top-grade, two mid-grade, and two low-grade.

The other party wanted five, so he directly put away four high-grade pills and kept the remaining five to give to the other party.

Let's see if there's still time. I casually refined another batch of Daxia Dan before leaving the cave and flying towards the agreed-upon mountain peak.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw a woman in white standing on a huge rock at the top of the mountain. Her white clothes billowed in the wind, making her appear ethereal and otherworldly.

"The pill you wanted has arrived!"

Ye Bufan said, raising his hand and waving a small jade bottle flew over.

The other party is only at the early stage of Da Lingxian cultivation, so there's no need to worry about them doing anything like murder or robbery.

The woman took the bottle, opened the cork, first glanced at it, then gently sniffed.

"Not bad."

Ye Bufan said, "Since you're satisfied, then let's exchange!"

"Here you go!"

The woman in white made no unnecessary movements. With a flick of her wrist, the Pure Spirit Lotus Fruit flew over.

Ye Bufan took it in his hand, feeling the rich spiritual energy, and he was overjoyed.

Over this period, both my physical body and cultivation level have seen continuous improvements, but my mental power hasn't changed much.

Now that we have this, after consuming it, one could at least reach the level of a Great Immortal.

Just as he was incredibly excited, the woman softly said, "Is this the pill you just refined"

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

"No, I didn't bring my pills with me. They were with a friend and I just picked them up."

The woman ignored his answer and continued, "Are you a fifth-rank immortal alchemist"

"No."

Ye Bufan's words were resolute and confident. He insisted that he wasn't actually a fifth-order Immortal Alchemist, but was far above that level.

If it weren't for cultivation restrictions, in terms of alchemy alone, I'm afraid no one in the entire fairy world could surpass me.

"I knew you wouldn't admit it."

A hint of a smile played on the woman's lips as she spoke, brimming with confidence and satisfaction.

"I've noticed you for a while now. When you traded resources with Da Yi Dan before, I suspected you were a Xian Dan Shi."

"What's the reason"

The woman said, "Normally, a large-scale elixir is extremely important to a high-level immortal. Even if one were obtained, it would be treasured. It would be impossible to exchange five at once for resources with others."

If you were an alchemist, that would be different. You could refine as many as you needed yourself, so you wouldn't value them the same way others do.

Ye Bufan said, "That's too absolute. Perhaps I have a master who can refine pills, or other relatives."

"Indeed, that's why I proposed trading a Pure Spirit Qilin Fruit for five Dan of Gains and Losses. As it turns out, you are indeed an immortal alchemist, and a fifth-order one at that."

Feeling no malice from the other party, Ye Bufan wasn't in a hurry either. He said calmly, "What logic is this again"

The woman said: "First, although the Jingling Jiulan fruit is precious, it's not very useful for ordinary immortals. "

Even if one's mental power increases by a level, it wouldn't be of much use, after all, it doesn't equal combat strength.

If you are a cultivator of elixirs, it's different. Your spiritual power will increase, and your alchemy skills will naturally improve as well, so you would place great importance on it.

As it turns out, that's exactly what happened. I wanted five fifth-order pills, and you agreed without even trying to haggle.

Ye Bufan shook his head. "That reason isn't sufficient; perhaps I need this thing to give to someone else."

The woman in white continued, "These alone are definitely not enough. The problem is that the elixir of profit and loss I want isn't an ordinary medicine."

It's impossible for an ordinary person to have five of these, and even if such a pill existed, it wouldn't be possible to keep it in someone else's hands.

These factors combined can only mean one thing: you are a fifth-rank immortal alchemist, and the elixir is one you just refined.

Okay, even if you guessed right, so what

Ye Bufan had a smile on his face, but his body was tense, ready to react at any moment.

The woman in white said, "Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you. I just want to make a deal with you."

"Want me to help you refine some pills You don't have to make such a fuss about it!"

Ye Bufan was indeed a little confused. If this woman just wanted him to help her refine pills, she only needed to take out the pure spirit Jia Lan fruit just now, and no matter what she asked, he would agree.

"It's not alchemy."

A woman in white hesitated for a moment before saying, “I want you to be my dual cultivation partner.”

Ye Bufan was stunned. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected this outcome.

"Young lady, are you joking with me"

Of course I'm not joking, let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Yingyue, and I come from the Jiang family in Donghua Xiancheng.

My requirement is to become your cultivation partner, and not just any kind of partner— I want us to be married.

As she said this, a hint of arrogance crossed Jiang Yingyue's stunning face.

In her view, the other party's shock just now was because they couldn't believe this reality. Knowing about her family background and relying on her own appearance, the other party would probably feel like they had hit the jackpot.

But the result was far beyond her expectations. Ye Bufan shook his head without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, I have my own partner. You should find someone else."

After speaking, he turned and walked away without any hesitation.

" "

Jiang Yingyue was dumbfounded, seeming unable to believe what she was seeing. She had made such a good proposal, but it had been rejected without hesitation.

"Stop right there!"

Seeing the other person walking further and further away, she came to her senses and quickly chased after them, blocking their path.

Ye Bufan sighed: "Miss Jiang, I've said it before, we're really not a good match. Besides, I have someone I like. You should find someone else."

Jiang Yingyue was originally an extremely proud woman. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by this man twice in a row, and her heart became increasingly angry.

You misunderstand me. There are plenty of men chasing after me in Donghua Xiancheng, enough to line up from Donghua Heaven all the way to Qingwei Heaven.

"As long as I want, there will be plenty of people who want to be my partner."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Isn't that just perfect You can go find them, why come to me"

Jiang Yingyue let out a cold snort: "Do you really think I want to marry you We already agreed, this is just a business deal."

You will impersonate my Daoist partner and accompany me to the Jiang family of Donghua Xiancheng. We will perform a play together, and that will be the end of this deal.

"I understand."

Ye Bufan was all too familiar with this charade of pretending to be a boyfriend. He never expected such things would happen in the immortal realm.finished business between us. He killed my senior brother, Pone Chai, back then.It seems he was lucky to have disappeared suddenly, or I would have definitely met him today and turned him into a corps...
