Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Alchemy Master

Wang Dabao’s gaze shone keenly, seemingly eager for Long Fei to choose the task acceptance method.

Long Fei didn’t continue with the question and instead asked, "I wonder how the barter works?"

Wang Dabao’s hand spun the jade ring on his finger as he smiled and said, "That’s simple. You provide a magical treasure of equal value, and we handle the auction. The proceeds from the auction will be used to pay for the items you purchase, and we won’t let you suffer a loss. Of course, if you don’t want to auction, we can appraise it for you and you can sell directly if you agree with the price. This way, you can also save on the auction commission."

"Understood."

Long Fei nodded and asked him, "I wonder what the market is like for Tier-6 Pills now?"

"Which tier?"

Wang Dabao felt a bit shocked, even tightening the flesh on his head.

Long Fei calmly said, "Tier-6."

Wang Dabao exclaimed, "You have Tier-6 Pills? To my knowledge, the highest grade of Pill circulating in the Cultivation World right now is Fifth-Grade, isn’t it?"

Long Fei asked, "Does that mean there’s no price for Tier-6?"

"No, no!"

Wang Dabao pressed the mechanism on the desk, and a secret door in the wall behind opened up.

He was not afraid of Long Fei seeing and rummaged inside, retrieved a file, hastily flipped through it, and called Long Fei over to read, "Consort Prince, please look, this is a Tier-6 Pill we auctioned off more than a decade ago. This Pill was taken from the Ghost Emperor Palace, and the price at auction had already broken ten billion, truly a sought-after treasure in the world!"

Long Fei carefully looked through the auction details, and the Pill in question was the Nourishing Yuan Pill.

This pill was used to extend one’s lifespan, a very common type of Pill in the Cultivation World.

Wang Dabao excitedly said, "Consort Prince, there has been serious inflation these recent years. If you really have a Tier-6 Pill, it’s possible for us to auction it off for five hundred thousand, even a million!"

"That much?"

Long Fei was startled by the estimate.

Wang Dabao said, "Not much at all, not in the least. Do you know all the old fellows are holding on in their lairs, waiting for the day when the Heaven and Earth Laws change. Nowadays, the suppression of Heaven and Earth Laws is too severe. Whoever has a Tier-6 Pill, it’s like they can advance their bodies to a higher level of transformation. This is something that can extend life, of course, it’s expensive!"

Long Fei nodded; he had considered this issue as well.

In the Cultivation World, there’s no straightforward addition like one plus one equals two.

A hundred, even ten thousand Fifth-Grade Pills might be consumed, but their effect would not compare to a single Tier-6 Pill.

Because of drug resistance development, after consuming Fifth-Grade Pills, the efficacy will be greatly reduced, unable to bring about a higher level of transformation.

The higher the person’s Cultivation Level, the higher the demands for Pills.

For instance, after taking a Fifth-Grade Yang-nourishing Pill, one’s lifespan would increase by a hundred years, but subsequent consumption would only preserve ten more years of lifespan.

If consumed again, the Pill might have no effect at all.

At this point, to extend one’s lifespan, one must consume higher level Pills to wrestle with fate and the body’s drug resistance.

This situation is pretty much like drug addiction.

The difference is, drugs consume life, while Pills prolong life.

Long Fei asked, "Then can you give me one day’s time, and also find a quiet place for me to refine a furnace of Tier-6 Pills?"

"A furnace?"

Wang Dabao was initially stunned, then realizing it, he shouted loudly, "Of course, that’s certainly possible!"

A look of shock, excitement, and astonishment crossed his face, as if he was seeing the God of Wealth himself.

However, he asked worriedly, "Can Consort Prince really refine a Tier-6 Pill?"

"Let’s try!"

Long Fei’s tentative reply made Wang Dabao uncertain, frowning, he said, "This...?"

Long Fei smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I have a few Fifth-Grade Pills on me. If the Tier-6 Pills can’t be refined, you can just auction off these Fifth-Grade Pills to settle the account."

Saying so, he took out a porcelain bottle and showed it to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao trembled with excitement, opened the lid, and looked at the Pill inside.

It had five circling Pill patterns, and just the fragrance alone was stimulating to the spirit.

With this thing, his heart immediately stabilized. Even without a Tier-6, auctioning off this Fifth-Grade Pill would easily cover the costs.

He returned the Pill to Long Fei and immediately summoned someone to arrange a top-secret place for Long Fei, with an Elder from the Divine Dragon Auction House providing protection outside.

He hadn’t expected Long Fei to also be an Alchemy master – truly a versatile talent!

To play it safe, Long Fei called Chu Feng in and had the others guard outside.

When alchemizing, one must not be distracted.

Any interference could greatly reduce the purity of the pills. Moreover, after concocting pills, one’s spiritual power is depleted and vulnerability to danger is significantly increased.

With Chu Feng present, Long Fei could fully concentrate.

Wang Jie, Liu Jiangnan, Bald Dog, and the Ground Rat Demon King sat down outside the secret chamber.

Lin Shanshan, Ji Wanyu, Anna, and Nightingale, bored with nothing to do, went out to enjoy some sunshine.

The geomagnetic Yuan Force here was so strong that it made one’s heart uncomfortable, like having altitude sickness.

The Immortal’s Skin Pouch inside, after intense bidding, was finally sold for ten billion Spirit Stones.

The one who acquired the item was none other than Ji Wanrong.

Apart from this wealthy princess, not many could afford ten billion Spirit Stones.

After the meeting dispersed, the crowd exited with lingering excitement.

Wang Xiaoya looked around, expecting Long Fei to take the initiative to improve relations with his mother, but Long Fei was nowhere to be seen.

She thought Long Fei might not recognize her, so she intentionally removed her light veil to reveal an extremely beautiful visage.

The male cultivators around her had their eyes glued to her.

A few of them walked out and bumped straight into chairs. Those without shame touched their drool, thinking they had seen a Fairy.

Lin Shanshan, sipping on fruit wine, spotted her instantly, stood up quickly, and ran over, exclaiming with surprise, "Sister Little Ya, you really are here!"

"Shanshan, where’s your brother-in-law?"

Wang Xiaoya also brightened up and held her hand.

Lin Shanshan looked around and whispered, "My brother-in-law went to concoct pills; he asked us to guard here."

"Concocting pills?"

Wang Xiaoya frowned curiously, "What pill is he making?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head, "Who knows, probably couldn’t pay the auction fee and plans to repay with medicinal pills!"

"What?"

Wang Xiaoya laughed dryly and sneakily glanced at her mother.

Xie Sanniang showed displeasure on her face, thinking Long Fei would know to be respectful, but he didn’t seem to care about them at all.

She told Wang Xiaoya coldly, "Now you can give up, right? He doesn’t care about you at all; let’s just leave!"

"Mother!"

Wang Xiaoya furrowed her brows tightly, anxiously defending Long Fei, "He must have bought that Alchemy Cauldron to avenge us. If you could wait here for a bit, we can talk when he comes out."

"Are you not listening to me?"

Xie Sanniang, uninterested, grimaced and forcefully urged her to leave.

"What kind of person is this? Just like a tiger mom!"

Lin Shanshan muttered to herself in her heart, disliking Wang Xiaoya’s mother.

At this time, most people had almost left.

Suddenly, Yan Ruyu came out, anxiously stopping everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you. Tomorrow, we will publicly auction another item here. What I can tell everyone is that this is an extraordinary pill. Those interested can stay, or you can come back tomorrow."

"A superior-grade pill?"

"Which tier?"

"Fifth-Grade?"

"My old man just needs a Fifth-Grade Pill!"

"Why wait until tomorrow!"

The crowd suddenly became interested, even more excited than for the items auctioned previously, and they eagerly questioned Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu spread her hands, smiling and saying that she could only reveal that much, but it was definitely above Fifth-Grade.

Everyone buzzed with excitement, surprised that Divine Dragon Auction House had saved a card up its sleeve.

With this pill, entering the Ghost Emperor City would definitely add an extra layer of assurance!
