Looking at the numerous sect disciples, Li Yu's expression was serious.
He then took out two massive chests from his spatial ring, which were piled high with small, faintly glowing black pills.
Instantly, the fragrance of alchemical pills permeated the plaza, drifting in all directions on the breeze.
"What kind of pill is this? It smells amazing!"
"I'm an alchemist, but I don't think I've ever seen this pill before! Judging by the scent, it contains at least a hundred different spirit herbs!"
"Could it be that Eldest Senior Brother is giving these pills to us for free as well?"
"What are you thinking? Doesn't alchemy require materials? With so many pills, if he gave them to us, Eldest Senior Brother would suffer a massive loss. Even if he offered them for free, we couldn't accept them."
The cultivators in the plaza were burning with curiosity about what Li Yu intended to do with so many pills.
Li Yu didn't keep them in suspense and began to explain.
"These are Cultivation Pills specially developed by Eldest Senior Brother to assist everyone cultivating in the Cultivation Tower. They contain the natural treasure, Dragon Blood Ginseng, which Eldest Senior Brother obtained in a secret realm!
"There are two types of this pill. The first is for cultivators below the Soul Formation realm, called the Minor Cultivation Pill.
"The other is for cultivators at or above the Soul Formation realm, called the Major Cultivation Pill.
"The effect of both pills is to accelerate cultivation speed. According to Eldest Senior Brother's tests, this pill can increase a cultivator's speed by twenty percent.
"Most importantly, these pills contain zero pill toxicity. You can all use them without any limits or worries!"
As Li Yu's words fell, the eyes of the numerous disciples widened in shock.
"A twenty percent increase in cultivation speed doesn't sound as fast as the Meridian Ascension Pill's thirty percent, but this pill actually has no pill toxicity! Paired with the Cultivation Tower's ten-times cultivation speed, wouldn't one month be equal to a whole year!"
"No pill toxicity? Could it be a legendary perfect pill? I've been practicing alchemy for so many years and have never refined a perfect pill."
"Eldest Senior Brother knows alchemy too? Just what other talents does he have that we don't know about?"
"Senior Brother Li, these pills are so precious, containing a rare natural treasure like Dragon Blood Ginseng. We wouldn't dare take them for free. We absolutely refuse to let Eldest Senior Brother suffer a loss!"
"That's right! Eldest Senior Brother already lets us use the Cultivation Tower for free; we can't let him lose money on this!"
Hearing these last two sentences, a faint smile appeared on Li Yu's face up on the high platform.
"Rest assured, everyone. Originally, Eldest Senior Brother really did want to give them to you for free. But since he has been so considerate of us, how could we let him give without anything in return?
"After my persistent persuasion, Senior Brother Mo finally decided to just let everyone pay a small cost price.
"Minor Cultivation Pills are one thousand spirit stones each! The effect lasts for one month!
"Major Cultivation Pills are three thousand spirit stones each! The effect also lasts for one month!
"Also, a friendly reminder: if cultivators below the Soul Formation realm use the Major Cultivation Pill, it will increase their cultivation speed by thirty percent!"
As his voice fell, the entire plaza fell dead silent.
Immediately after, enthusiastic roars erupted. "Only three thousand spirit stones?? You're not joking, right!"
"A Meridian Ascension Pill costs fifteen thousand spirit stones, has pill toxicity, and its effect only lasts for a month too!"
"Is the cost price really this low?"
"There's no helping it, the labor cost for refining pills is usually high. Otherwise, why would people say alchemists are filthy rich?"
"Eldest Senior Brother really isn't taking any advantage of us at all! Is he trying to raise us as his loyal deathsworn?"
"So what if we become deathsworn? From now on, I'll attack wherever Eldest Senior Brother points. Hesitating for even a second would be a betrayal of his trust!"
"Eldest Senior Brother doesn't seem to have a Dao Companion yet, right? I wonder what type he likes..."
"Put away your seductiveness. How could Eldest Senior Brother ever fancy a vixen like you?"
"Senior Brother Li, give me ten Major Cultivation Pills first!"
"I want three!"
"I'll take two Minor Cultivation Pills for now. I got robbed during my recent experiential journey, so I don't have much money on me."
Seeing the numerous cultivators so excited, Li Yu knew the matter was settled.
"Don't rush, everyone, take your time. Because the pills are limited, each person can only buy a maximum of ten per purchase."
In no time at all, the two large chests of Cultivation Pills were completely sold out.
"Gone? I haven't bought any yet!"
"Don't be disappointed, everyone. In the future, at this same time every month, I will be here helping Senior Brother Mo sell Cultivation Pills. Everyone will get some."
Li Yu's face was flushed red as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
In just this short while, he didn't even know how many spirit stones he had collected. He was so excited he could barely keep up. It seemed he would need to find a reliable disciple to help him run errands for Senior Brother next time.
"Every month? That's wonderful. We won't have to worry about slow cultivation speed anymore."
"I need to hurry to the Mission Hall and take on some tasks. I'll work like crazy to earn spirit stones so I can snag ten Major Cultivation Pills next time!"
Many Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators made up their minds to earn spirit stones.
As for the Meridian Ascension Pill, they couldn't afford it and didn't dare to hope for it. But with the Cultivation Pills Eldest Senior Brother had introduced, they could definitely afford them if they worked hard.
As long as they had sufficient cultivation resources, coupled with the help of the Cultivation Tower, they would quickly grow and become stronger.
The stronger they became, the more spirit stones they would earn. The more spirit stones they had, the more Cultivation Pills they could buy. The more pills they had, the faster their cultivation progress, which would make them even stronger.
In the time to come, the overall strength of their Demonic Sect would be elevated.
"Alright, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters, the first eight floors of the Cultivation Tower are now open. Everyone can go inside to cultivate!"
As Li Yu's words fell, the numerous disciples swarmed into the Time Tower, beginning to enjoy the flying cultivation sensation brought by a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
Once all the cultivators had entered the Cultivation Tower, the plaza became empty.
Li Yu could finally take a break.
Right at that moment, two Foundation Establishment cultivators came up to Li Yu, rubbing their hands together with beaming smiles. "Senior Brother Li, we did a pretty good job, right?"
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that these two cultivators were the very same guys who had been shouting in the crowd about not letting Eldest Senior Brother suffer a loss.
Li Yu looked up at the two and nodded in satisfaction. He then took out two bags of spirit stones from his spatial ring and tossed them over. "You did well. One thousand spirit stones each, plus one Minor Cultivation Pill."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li! Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"
The two excitedly accepted their rewards, completely unable to conceal the joy on their faces.
Just by randomly shouting a few sentences, they had actually obtained so many benefits. As expected of someone who worked by Eldest Senior Brother's side—truly generous.
"We'll take our leave now, Senior Brother Li. If there's ever anything like this again, just call for us brothers anytime!"
The two cupped their fists in farewell and also entered the Cultivation Tower.
Once everything was settled, Li Yu finally took today's harvest to report to Eldest Senior Brother.
In just a single day, he had collected ten million spirit stones. This was much faster than collecting protection fees from disciples below the Nascent Soul realm. He had never seen so many spirit stones in his entire life.
Sure enough, following Eldest Senior Brother was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
