CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 488: THE REAL BIG PROFIT

Indeed, if Ye Feng knew all this, he would surely blame himself for not arranging everything properly, letting Li Lingui endure such torment.

At the same time, Ye Feng would spare no expense to make those who tormented Li Lingui regret coming into this world, regret provoking Ye Feng.

....

At this moment, Ye Feng was unaware of Li Lingui’s plight.

At this moment, Ye Feng had already refined a large number of pills.

Isn’t that right? During this whole day, Ye Feng continuously refined pills, and apart from refining pills, he enjoyed delicious meals.

As for those cultivators beside him, they had already been hungry for a whole day and were starving.

Seeing Ye Feng and his companions feasting, they couldn’t help but swallow, longing to eat.

Moreover, seeing this situation, as if no changes would occur anytime soon, made them feel even hungrier.

"Mr. Ye, could you spare me some food? I can buy it with money."

"Mr. Ye, sell us some, I’ll pay more."

"Mr. Ye, please help me, I will definitely thank you properly after we get out."

"Mr. Ye...."

So, quite a few people gathered around, asking to buy food from Ye Feng.

They felt that if they continued starving, they would definitely die of hunger. To survive, they could only rely on food from Ye Feng.

Meanwhile, thinking back on how they previously discarded a lot of food to make room for treasures, they felt immense regret.

Indeed, upon seeing the treasures earlier, they had lost all reason, thinking the place was abundant with resources, so how could there be a lack of food?

But they never expected to be trapped in such a small place now, with not even a bit of food available.

"My food is also not much, and now food represents life. How could I sell my life to you for a bit of money?" Facing their requests, Ye Feng shook his head, rejecting them without hesitation.

Speaking of food, Ye Feng’s Ancient Jade Gourd had plenty.

Whether it was food or water, everything was abundant, even fresh, and could bring out live livestock at any time.

However, to maximize his benefit, Ye Feng had to let them hang.

"This...." Hearing Ye Feng’s words, these people looked desperate.

In fact, some even entertained thoughts of robbing him.

But, remembering Ye Feng’s terrifying strength, along with Feng Gu and Old Gong’s powerful methods, they dismissed such ideas.

Indeed, Ye Feng was a terrifying existence capable of contending with a Martial God.

Feng Gu and Old Gong, although not as strong as Ye Feng, were much stronger than them.

Faced with such three formidable individuals, how were they supposed to compete, with their heads?

"Damn it!" In despair, someone took out some medicinal herbs.

These herbs might not taste good, but they could fill their stomachs and also increase their cultivation base a little.

So, they prepared to eat the herbs.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s eyelid twitched, and he shouted, "I don’t have much food either, but considering everyone’s hardship, good things can be exchanged for stuff here."

"For example, the herb in your hand can be exchanged for half a pound of meat."

At the same time, Ye Feng approached the person holding the herb, pointing at it to signal.

This herb, several thousand years old, might not fill one’s stomach when consumed, and the cultivation base it increased was pitiful.

However, if exchanged for half a pound of meat, it could not only fill the stomach but also sustain them a bit longer, making the exchange quite appealing.

"This... isn’t this just bullying? It’s better to eat the herb, which must weigh more than half a pound!"

"But this herb is mostly moisture. Are you sure it can fill your stomach?"

"It’s good for quenching thirst, but if you want it to fill your stomach, that’s a joke."

"But, for just half a pound of meat, isn’t that too much?"

"Exactly... I won’t make this kind of trade."

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone got angry, pretending to eat the herbs.

However, after a reminder from others, they realized that the herb wouldn’t actually fill their stomachs, so they gave up.

"Forget it! Consider this a little welfare for you. Such an herb can exchange for half a pound of meat and a 500ml bottle of purified water." Seeing the resentment in their hearts, Ye Feng continued.

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, people could finally accept it somewhat.

However, only a few came to Ye Feng for exchanges, mostly with herbs thousands of years old.

After acquiring food, they ate happily, with Ye Feng even helping them roast it.

Seeing them eating so contentedly, many couldn’t sit still, taking out herbs thousands of years old to exchange with Ye Feng for food and water.

As a result, everyone obtained food and water, happily finishing their meal and drinking large gulps of water afterward.

The feeling could only be described as satisfying.

’I wonder how long this situation will last. I hope the longer, the better.’ Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled inwardly and prayed.

Indeed, the longer the time, the more the importance of food would manifest, and then Ye Feng might collect all their good items?

By then, Ye Feng would be the ultimate winner in life.

’Continue alchemy!’ After eating and drinking his fill, Ye Feng continued refining pills.

Previously, Ye Feng had already refined many pills, likely using up most of the herbs.

In the coming time, Ye Feng planned to refine all the remaining herbs and then refine genuine elixirs.

Actually, besides the Small Rejuvenation Pill and Great Rejuvenation Pill, this time Ye Feng also obtained Spirit Grass for refining the Spirit Revitalizing Pill.

The Spirit Revitalizing Pill is a true elixir, far superior in effect to this world’s Qi Replenishing Pill.

Even if Ye Feng were to refine the lowest grade Spirit Revitalizing Pill, a first-grade one, its effects would be very potent.

Ye Feng’s were all top grade, a single first-grade top grade Spirit Revitalizing Pill, considering Ye Feng’s current cultivation base, was enough to restore him to full state even when his True Qi was exhausted.

Moreover, it’s somewhat a waste.

The terror of the Spirit Revitalizing Pill far exceeds Ye Feng’s current cultivation base, and according to Ye Feng’s judgment, it would take reaching Qi Cultivation level six or above to unleash the Spirit Revitalizing Pill’s true effect.

Using it now involves a certain degree of waste.

After spending another day, Ye Feng successfully refined all the remaining pills.

Seeing the countless pills inside his Storage Ring, Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction.

These pills were categorized into several grades by Ye Feng, with even the lowest ones far surpassing the prior highest grade.

Indeed, after entering here, the worst herbs Ye Feng used were several thousand-year-old herbs.

What’s more, there were herbs over ten thousand years old and over twenty thousand years old.

The ones over twenty thousand years old were only used in two batches, making dozens of pills, but their efficacy was very terrifying, although not as good as the Small Rejuvenation Pill, they were top-tier pills.

After refining the pills, Ye Feng gave Feng Gu and Old Gong some of the lowest-grade ones, about a dozen each.

At the same time, Ye Feng also gave them some of the previous pills, dozens each.

The best pills from before still had a very good effect on them now, making them incredibly excited and grateful beyond words, their loyalty to Ye Feng growing stronger, and they vowed to play the role of ’small brothers’ well in the future....
