Chapter 146 Would you like a hair growth pill?
"By the way, what about those people from the Xuan Ye Sect? Did they also turn into demons?"
After Jiang Li finished binding all the Qing Shi Sect disciples present, he suddenly realized that many people were missing.
The situation was urgent at the time. Even Qingzhu, who was initially protecting Lanyue, couldn't run away with the little ones, let alone the people from the Xuan Ye Sect.
So where did all those people go? Could they have been corrupted and turned into monsters too?
The senior students searched around but couldn't find any of those people, and they all looked at each other in confusion.
Just as they were about to report to the elder, Lan Yue, who was not far away, suddenly stepped on something, and not long after, a bald head popped out from the crack in the ground.
"Is it safe?" The man was overjoyed to see that it had quieted down outside.
Before long, one bald head after another popped up. They were overjoyed at first, but when they saw each other's heads, their smiles froze.
"Senior brother, why did you shave your head at this time?"
"Junior brother, could it be that your true identity is a Buddhist disciple?"
"Senior sister, your head looks a bit bald, it's making my eyes hurt."
"Junior sister, what are you saying? My eyes hurt even more."
The group looked at each other and then fell silent.
Screams erupted one after another, making the scene even more chaotic than when so many monsters had been chasing them.
Jiang Li, who was watching them from the side, muttered to himself, "That's not right, how come the people from Xuan Ye Sect are also bald? They weren't turning into demons at first."
Only a few kids who had gathered together chuckled, feeling that their first pot of gold was already beckoning them.
"Yunxi, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Alright, it's done!"
Compared to other elixirs, the hair growth pill is very easy to make, and they have plenty of spiritual herbs in their space.
Soon, Yunxi made the first batch of hair growth pills, her face glowing with health.
It was as if he wasn't making pills, but rather leveling up.
While the little ones were busy, the Xuan Ye Sect elders and disciples were brought before Elder Duanmu.
Several elders examined them together, turning them over and over again, but they still couldn't find any problems.
"What's going on with you?" the Fifth Elder asked incredulously.
If it's easy to lose hair in this formation, then their heads haven't changed at all.
How come these people have lost their hair? Does the formation actively select its members?
"Tell me what just happened," Elder Duanmu said thoughtfully.
This was the first time that group of people had encountered demons, so they dared not hide anything and told them everything that had just happened.
They even described in detail when they dug the pit and how big it was.
"You said that when the group of Qing Shi Sect elders and disciples chased after us, a black mist drifted over?"
"Did you also hear the she-devil's silvery laughter?"
The rope in the Sixth Elder's hand remained bound to this group of people.
"Yes, the elder sensed an ominous aura emanating from that black mist. As an earth-elemental cultivator, and with his natal weapon being a hoe, he instantly dug a large pit, led us inside, and then used magic to restore the pit above, thus escaping a calamity."
All the disciples of the Xuan Ye Sect were still shaken. Fortunately, their elders reacted quickly, otherwise they would have definitely turned into a group of mindless demons as well.
If they had known, they would rather die of boredom in their own sect than come to the Green Stone Sect, such an unlucky place.
"No, you shouldn't have escaped unscathed. If that demonic energy could be blocked by simple soil, it wouldn't be a headache for everyone," the Fifth Elder explained.
"So you were indeed corrupted by demonic energy just now, but the formation arrived just in time and dealt with the demonic energy before you were completely corrupted."
The group of Xuan Ye Sect disciples opposite them were bewildered. So they almost lost their lives?
Looking at this group of bewildered bald men, the Fifth Elder's words carried a hint of amusement: "It is precisely because you have little demonic energy on you that you have been able to maintain your sanity until now."
"It seems that the disciples of the Qing Shi Sect are not without the possibility of recovery."
"So it's already been resolved. Thank you for the help from the Southern Spirit Sect." The Xuan Ye Sect elder quickly realized what was happening and bowed to the other elders in thanks.
"The aftereffects might be quite severe, so you'll need some time to adjust," the Sixth Elder said, trying to suppress his smile.
The Xuan Ye Sect disciples froze instantly. It turned out that their bald heads were caused by that formation!
However, this formation did indeed save them. The group of people didn't even have the temper to get angry, and could only awkwardly touch their smooth heads.
"Perhaps you can buy hair growth pills?" The Fifth Elder suddenly remembered the little ones' plan, so he took the initiative to lead them to the alchemy furnace.
"You've come at the perfect time! The first batch—no, the first roast—is already out. We're giving you a huge discount: one hundred mid-grade spirit stones per stone!"
Yunxi looked over with a smile.
All Xuan Ye Sect disciples: "!!!!"
They know perfectly well that ordinary hair growth pills on the market only cost a few dozen low-grade spirit stones, yet this guy sold them for a hundred mid-grade spirit stones in one go. Do they think they're all fools?
Some people were grateful for the help from the Southern Spirit Sect, so they gritted their teeth and used all their savings to buy two.
Some people are short of money and can only afford one hair growth pill, or they can share it with others to buy one.
However, some people don't think that way; they jump to their feet.
"I thought your Southern Spirit Sect was a major sect and wouldn't do such shady things. I didn't expect that a simple hair growth pill would cost a hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Isn't this taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"
"This guy is so young, yet so heartless. We can easily buy ordinary hair growth pills like these. We can just buy one whenever we get out of here!"
When the Xuan Ye Sect disciples spoke like that, the elders standing nearby all changed their expressions.
"Shut up! These are our saviors. Who do you think saved your lives?"
If it weren't for the Southern Spirit Sect's formation, we might have already become those inhuman, demonic creatures! Who gives you the right to shout like that?
The most crucial point is that all the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect are here, and he doesn't dare to speak loudly. How dare these people?
Are these people's lives not even worth a hundred mid-grade spirit stones?
The Xuan Ye Sect elder came directly here and paid for ten pills.
Of course, it's also because so many elders are here watching over things.
If there were only a few little ones here, he certainly wouldn't have bought it so readily.
He bought ten at once, which was also to show everyone in the Southern Spirit Sect.
The Xuan Ye Sect elder felt his heart bleed, but there was nothing he could do; he had to make his stance clear.
"It's just a hair growth pill, right? I've stocked up on quite a few here. Everyone buys from me. I only sell them for 100 low-grade spirit stones. I won't rip you off."
Another Xuan Ye Sect disciple took out several jade-white porcelain bottles.
Upon hearing that the hair growth pills he had only cost one hundred low-grade spirit stones, other disciples who had been hesitant also rushed to him.
Although their actions were somewhat ungrateful, at least it saved them a lot of spirit stones.
What is face compared to spirit stones?
As three or four Xuan Ye Sect disciples left, Yunxi's place returned to its usual quiet state, and even Lan Yue's face turned somewhat pale.
The faces of the group of senior brothers and sisters from the Southern Spirit Sect instantly darkened.
When so many monsters chased after them, they saved quite a few people.
Why are they so unsupportive of their two junior sisters?
"Lanyue, Yunxi, it's alright, it's alright. Senior brothers and sisters bought your hair growth pills, maybe we'll need them in the future."
Several senior students handed over the storage bag with smiles.
"Senior brothers and sisters, this is a friendly price. I'll sell it to you for one hundred low-grade spirit stones." Yunxi secretly lowered her voice.
The senior students were all smiles, and before long, the newly made hair growth pills were sold out.
Meanwhile, the Xuan Ye Sect disciple who had obtained spirit stones through the hair growth pill also smiled with narrowed eyes.
Despite his previously thick hair, he was already facing the risk of balding at a young age.
That's why I stockpiled so many hair growth pills; I never expected they would come in handy at this time and even earn me some spirit stones.
With these snacks, he can stock up on another batch of hair growth pills for himself!
However, before he could finish calculating the spirit stones, a scream came from the other side.
"Senior Brother Ma, your hair growth pills aren't working!"
"Don't rush, don't rush. How can hair growth pills work so quickly? You'll have to wait a while." Ma Yi waved his hand impatiently.
"But the elder's head is already covered in hair!" The man was furious and quickly pulled him over to look at the thick, short hair on the elder's head.
