An hour later, the boy who had tested the elixir walked away energetically, while Elder Feng and Shangguan Ying'er stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Ling Mo Xie.
"What’s wrong with you? Is there a problem?" Ling Mo Xie swallowed nervously and asked cautiously. Why did Shangguan Ying'er and Elder Feng look as if they wanted to devour him? Was there something wrong with his elixir? But the boy who tested it was clearly still full of energy!
"What happened?" Shangguan Ying'er and Elder Feng said in unison, "You’re asking us what’s wrong? You tell us, did you really concoct this elixir yourself?"
"Yes!" Ling Mo Xie looked at Shangguan Ying'er and Elder Feng in confusion, shaking his head as he spoke.
Elder Feng gritted his teeth, turned away, and sighed, "Ying'er, you tell him! I’m too ashamed! Let me be alone for a moment!"
Shangguan Ying'er looked at the dejected Elder Feng and chuckled, saying, "Your elixir is truly astonishing, but even more astonishing is your alchemy! Do you know that elixirs that stimulate potential usually have some side effects?"
"What side effects?" Ling Mo Xie asked with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself that he had only seen two types of elixirs: the Spring Breeze Elixir and the Fury Pill!
Shangguan Ying'er didn’t keep Ling Mo Xie in suspense and explained directly, "The Azure Emperor Pavilion has sold countless potential elixirs. Their side effects can vary in severity, but the mildest ones leave users weak for three days after use! And that weakness isn’t like the tester who retained half of his strength; it means they are weaker than an ordinary person!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's surprised expression, Shangguan Ying'er continued to explain, "Some side effects are quite severe; after use, one might regress in cultivation or even lose their life force! Your Fury Pill has such great effects with minimal drawbacks; many fourth-grade elixirs can't even achieve that!"
Ling Mo Xie nodded as if he understood but felt that his Fury Pill was impressive! "So how much do you sell it for per bottle?" Ling Mo Xie asked, not forgetting his original intention.
"Kid! Are you really an alchemist? Why are you so concerned about spirit stones? Where has your dignity as an alchemist gone? At this moment, as an alchemist being praised like this, you should be a bit proud, you know? Don’t act like a vendor selling cabbages!" Elder Feng suddenly interjected angrily at Ling Mo Xie.
"Uh..." Ling Mo Xie looked at the suddenly furious Elder Feng in confusion and turned to Shangguan Ying'er for clarification.
"Ha ha!" Shangguan Ying'er smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons as she said in a clear voice, "Elder Feng is a Level 5 Alchemist! But even he can't produce a Fury Pill with such effects and minimal side effects. Perhaps he thinks that since you are both Alchemists, despite being so impressive, you still look like a merchant, which is embarrassing for Alchemists!"
"Oh, I see! Is it about being a bit proud? Hmm, alright!" Ling Mo Xie straightened his posture, sitting up straight and glancing at Elder Feng and Shangguan Ying'er. He feigned authority and said, "Ahem, you see, as such an impressive Alchemist, selling pills to you is showing respect. Shouldn't I raise the price a bit?"
"Haha! Haha!" Shangguan Ying'er laughed so hard that she nearly fell over, completely losing her goddess-like demeanor. Even Elder Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips, his face turning red.
"Don't laugh! Look at me, isn't it like this?" Ling Mo Xie maintained a serious expression and pretended to be earnest. In the end, he couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Forget it, I can't keep this up. I treat selling pills like selling cabbages. You two buyers should make an offer!"
Elder Feng snorted coldly and turned his head away, muttering softly, "This child cannot be taught!" Shangguan Ying'er leaned closer to Elder Feng's ear and said, "When it comes to Alchemy, it might be him teaching you instead! Hehe!"
Before Elder Feng could respond, Shangguan Ying'er was already discussing with Ling Mo Xie: "This Fury Pill is not inferior to some Level 4 pills, but after all, it is a Level 3 pill. Our Azure Emperor Pavilion can only sell it as a Level 3 pill. The price... we can offer you the highest price for a Level 3 pill—fifty spirit stones per bottle. How does that sound?"
Ling Mo Xie didn't hesitate much; this Fury Pill was among the lower-tier formulas in the System and he wouldn't be refining it again in the future. He nodded and said, "Alright, but just for this batch. I will be refining other pills in the future; let's collaborate again if there's an opportunity!"
After saying this, he waved his sleeve and five hundred bottles of Fury Pill were neatly placed on the exquisitely carved table in front of him. Shangguan Ying'er glanced at Elder Feng, who walked over with pursed lips to inspect them.
Shangguan Ying'er smiled and said, "I apologize for the laughter earlier; however, this is the procedure for receiving pills and we can't disrupt it. Here are five thousand spirit stones!" As she spoke, she placed a storage ring on the table.
Ling Mo Xie picked up the storage ring and used his mental energy to check inside; indeed, there were five thousand spirit stones. With his goal achieved, Ling Mo Xie prepared to leave because after refining these pills yesterday, the System had already notified him that he had earned the title of Alchemy Apprentice and also received the formula for the Little Red Bottle. However, the formula required spirit beast blood, which he would have to obtain himself!
But all the forests outside Tianfeng City had been cleared of spirit beasts; other places were too far away. Therefore, Ling Mo Xie planned to sell the pills first and then head to the arena where not only could he compete with others but there was also a beast fighting arena with spirit beasts captured from there.
"Wait!" Shangguan Ying'er called out to Ling Mo Xie. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a token that Ling Mo Xie found somewhat familiar and handed it to him saying, "Five days from now, the Azure Light Secret Realm outside Tianfeng City will open. This token will grant you an entry opportunity; you should give it a try! There are many good things inside; I will be going too!"
“Azure Light Secret Realm!” Ling Mo Xie murmured. Why did that name sound so familiar? Right! The last time he killed the Elite monster spider beast, he dropped a Copy token, which was for the Azure Light Secret Realm! He had been wondering where this Azure Light Secret Realm was!
So, Ling Mo Xie returned the token to Shangguan Ying'er and said, “I have this token now. Thank you for your kindness. I will go there when the time comes!”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Ying'er was taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered. “Come find me when the time comes, and we can go together!”
“Okay!” Ling Mo Xie replied and took his leave.
After Ling Mo Xie left, Elder Feng stared at Shangguan Ying'er and said, “Girl! You’re not developing feelings for him, are you? Your master only gave you two tokens!”
“Elder Feng! What are you saying?” Shangguan Ying'er glared at Elder Feng and said, “Isn't a genius who can refine third-grade pills at the age of fifteen worth cultivating?”
“Doesn’t the Azure Emperor Sect have such geniuses too? I haven’t seen you treat them kindly!” Elder Feng retorted.
“I just feel that he is more talented than we think! I wonder how his reputation as a waste spread back then. Alchemy isn’t something one can learn in a short time; he must have started learning from a young age to be able to refine perfect third-grade pills at fifteen!” Shangguan Ying'er pondered, nodding her head slightly.
“Hey! Girl! Do you know that this is ultimately a world based on strength? Even if his Alchemy talent is extraordinary, how can it compare to your innate talent with your spiritual root? Look at him; he’s only in the Enlightenment Stage while you’re already in the Heart Movement Stage! Even if he’s worth cultivating, there’s no need for you to take action personally! The Heart Movement Stage is a dangerous period; don’t fall into emotional tribulations!” Elder Feng chuckled and advised Shangguan Ying'er.
