Chapter 656 - 201: The Right Remedy for the Problem
Old He listened, his smile a bit awkward, and waved his hand, saying: "Alright, alright, I was being talkative, I only said a few more words out of habit."
Seeing Chen Yan’s expression unchanged and indifferent, Old He sighed: "The reward is 22,250 money."
Saying so, he tapped on the jade plate, and two beams of golden light flew out from it and landed on the table.
Chen Yan looked and saw that they were two paper notes, but they flashed with talismanic light.
"These are money tickets issued by the Commander’s Mansion of Snow Cliff Pass. You can take them to any counter in the outer hall to withdraw money. With over twenty-thousand, you probably need to..."
The bald big brother laughed heartily at this moment, stretched out his hand to help Chen Yan take the two money notes and said with a smile: "With over twenty-thousand, you need to make an appointment and wait in line, very troublesome. Brother number 135, our Brotherhood can help our own brothers with matters like these!"
Saying this, he stuffed the money notes into Chen Yan’s hand, saying: "No need to queue in the outer hall, just take the notes back to Sister Ruyi—she can give you the money. Afterward, she has her own ways to take the money tickets to the administrative department to retrieve the money."
"Oh?" Chen Yan was somewhat curious.
Old He nodded: "Exactly, this is the usual practice of the Brotherhood. Ruyi takes the notes, not only to exchange them for money, but often exchanges them directly at the administrative department for some materials. This way, you’re spared from running back and forth with so much money."
·
The bald big brother indeed didn’t lie to Chen Yan. After returning to the Brotherhood’s residence and handing the money tickets to Ruyi, Ruyi was greatly shocked — she had not expected that this younger brother, the most recent to join the Brotherhood, went out on a hunting trip and returned with such a substantial harvest.
However, she quickly asked Chen Yan to present the Brotherhood’s money card to her. A moment later, she returned it to Chen Yan.
"22,250 money has been deposited into your money card, Chuyi Brother. You can use this Brotherhood money card to shop at any store in Snow Cliff Pass without obstruction."
Ruyi looked at Chen Yan with a bit more respect in her eyes: "If you wish to have cash, just let me know when you are leaving, and I can withdraw it for you to take along."
Chen Yan smiled and thanked her, then went out once more.
Ruyi looked at Chen Yan’s back shadow and suddenly said loudly: "Brother Jin Jia will be back in a few days, do you want to wait for him to come back and have a gathering?"
Chen Yan looked at Ruyi and smiled: "Before I left the Pass this time, didn’t Sister Ruyi say Brother Jin Jia would be back soon? How come he hasn’t returned yet?"
Ruyi sighed: "This time he went to White Jade City for business, and it got delayed by some troublesome matters, with his return date being postponed again and again. Only yesterday did we receive definite word that he will surely return within three days."
Chen Yan thought for a bit and smiled: "Brother Jin Jia treats me so well, of course, I’ll wait for him to come back and gather."
Ruyi smiled with satisfaction: "Not in vain do the brothers and sisters care for you so much!"
Chen Yan, on this trip out, headed to the Alchemy Workshop within Snow Cliff Pass.
He had been to this place last time and exchanged for elixirs.
This time, however, Chen Yan had a clear goal!
·
"Do you have Spirit Communication Pills in stock?"
Standing in front of the Alchemy Workshop counter, Chen Yan stated his request, and the shopkeeper behind the counter’s expression turned serious. He immediately stood up, walked out, and invited Chen Yan to sit aside.
"Honored guest wants Spirit Communication Pills?"
"Yes." Chen Yan nodded.
The shopkeeper’s expression turned a few degrees warmer: "Does the honored guest know..."
"I know." Chen Yan nodded, solemnly saying: "I remember seeing your prices, the Spirit Communication Pill is ten thousand money each, right?"
With that, Chen Yan placed his Brotherhood money card on the table.
The shopkeeper’s face became even more welcoming.

Spirit Communication Pill, though the name seems plain, is actually categorized among the expensive and precious elixirs in the Alchemy Workshop.
The effectiveness of this thing is very straightforward and direct.
It allows a person who cannot start cultivation to, after taking the elixir, perceive the existence of Primordial Qi for a certain period of time, practicing internalizing Primordial Qi!
Not everyone in the Domain Realm is a genius in cultivation, and not everyone has the aptitude for cultivation.
Even among wealthy families and large sects, there are always ordinary, mediocre descendants appearing.
Genetically speaking, such occurrences are also inevitable.
If ordinary people don’t have the aptitude for cultivation, at most they remain mortals all their lives, exhausting decades of life, eventually becoming dust and returning to the earth, forming just a grave.
But if in cultivation families, wealthy clans, and prestigious sects, some descendants lack cultivation aptitude.
They are often unwilling to remain mortals for life, watching decades of their lives wane away only to turn to dust.
Imagine, if you are a Great Cultivator at the Celestial Human Realm or beyond, with immense mana and a lifespan allowing you to easily live for hundreds or thousands of years.
Yet you have a son or daughter without cultivation aptitude, unable to enter the door of cultivation.
Despite your immense wealth, would you watch as they toil through life, only to wither and die after several decades?
Thus, in the Domain Realm, there exists the "Spirit Communication Pill."
For those without cultivation aptitude, the biggest hurdle is that they can’t perceive the existence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi no matter how hard they cultivate.
Unable to sense Primordial Qi, they can’t internalize it, forever barred from stepping through the door of cultivation.
However, the Spirit Communication Pill can significantly enhance the meridians of one’s body and their affinity to Primordial Qi in a short time!
Simply put, consuming this elixir enables those unable to sense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to perceive it for a limited period!
They can internalize and transport Primordial Qi into their bodies!
Though this time is limited, just a small window before the effect dissipates.
