The same person.
When facing different identities of Qin Tian, the attitude was like heaven and earth.
However, one could not blame the elder.
In this world, strength determines how others treat you.
Qin Tian cleared his throat and picked up the pill.
"Make your offer!"
Qin Tian understood that simply catering to the elder would have obvious consequences.
Since he was selling the pill, he naturally had to adopt a lofty attitude.
"Hmm."
The elder sat in his chair and took the pill.
The shopkeeper stood quietly behind him, trembling slightly.
"Elder, this pill?"
He looked at Qin Tian with disbelief.
Earth-Level Pill, a treasure that is hard to come by.
Where did this kid get it from? "This..." The elder was also stunned. This elixir is indeed Earth Level. Not fake at all. Moreover, compared with the elixirs brought by Qin Tian before, the quality is even better. What kind of luck did you have today? I was able to meet two of my dream Earth-Level Pills. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and shook his head. "Sorry, this is not Earth-Level Pill." Putting the pill down, the elder looked at Qin Tian with contempt. Shopkeeper trembled all over, and some couldn't believe their ears. Then, he instantly understood what the elder meant. Once you encounter a very precious Treasure. The elder will say in a very definite tone that this is a fake.
Then, he sent out his disciples to directly expel him.
Thus, this Treasure was claimed for himself.
This was a common tactic used by the Purple Sun Auction House against the Nameless Rogue.
The reason they didn't use this trick when Qin Tian arrived earlier was due to Qin Tian's identity and status.
They simply did not dare to do so.
Now, facing an unknown young man, this tactic finally had its opportunity to be employed.
"Heh heh, you little brat, how dare you use fake pills to deceive me, the Purple Sun Auction House? Tired of living? You even managed to fool me."
With a wave of his hand, the Shopkeeper summoned four or five disciples from the Ziyang Immortal Sect.
"Throw this fraud out."
At the Shopkeeper's command, the disciples rushed forward.
They intended to seize Qin Tian.
"Heh heh, I originally thought that with the Ziyang Immortal Sect as a backing, the Purple Sun Auction House would uphold the excellent conduct of the Ziyang Immortal Sect and act fairly and justly. It seems I was mistaken."
Qin Tian chuckled calmly and snatched the pills from the table.
"Farewell!"
He turned to leave.
However, the Elder let out a cold laugh.
"Deceiving the Purple Sun Auction House is akin to insulting the Ziyang Immortal Sect. Our Ziyang Immortal Sect has stood for a thousand years and has never endured such humiliation. You think you can just walk away? You are sorely mistaken. Leave him!"
As soon as the words were spoken, several disciples of the Ziyang Immortal Sect immediately moved towards Qin Tian.
"I dare anyone to touch me!"
At this point, Qin Tian was no longer afraid.
He shouted fiercely.
The surrounding disciples hesitated and did not dare to act.
"What use are you? A bunch of useless fools."
The Elder snorted lightly and slowly walked up to Qin Tian.
"Now you have two paths to choose from. First, take the pills and perish here. Second, leave the pills and get lost!"
As the words fell, a smirk finally appeared at the corner of Qin Tian's mouth.
"A fake pill, what use is it?"
Qin Tian coldly smiled, his fingers tightening, and the pill that radiated a scorching light shattered with a sound.
Seeing this scene, the elder's heart felt like it had broken.
This was an Earth-Level Pill!
Could he really bear to do that?
"Seeking death!"
The elder struck towards Qin Tian with a palm.
The powerful force was overwhelming.
"At your age, you're only in the early stages of Qi Control Realm. How shameless."
Qin Tian shook his head, utterly dismissive of the attack.
With a casual flick of his finger, a fierce wave of energy spread throughout the room.
Like ripples on water, the entire room trembled violently, bricks and stones shattering.
The ground shook as if mountains were quaking.
"What is this?"
The elder finally reacted, but unfortunately, it was too late.
With a single finger, it forcefully pierced through his palm.
As it left behind a bloody hole, it directly aimed for his forehead.
It was merely a hair's breadth away.
It was about to touch the center of his mind.
"Now, you have two paths to choose from."
Qin Tian chuckled lightly, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"First, you can keep your life while I leave. Second, I will leave you a parting gift and require five million Intermediate Spirit Stones as payment."
Upon hearing the first option, the elder felt as if his heart was shattering.
Keeping his life.
He fully believed that the young man before him could easily do so if he wished.
When he heard the second option, he finally found a glimmer of hope.
"Five million Spirit Stones, yes, yes."
To survive, he could accept any gift.
Although his lifespan was already short,
people never seem to mind living longer.
Living was the true victory.
"Five million Intermediate Spirit Stones. If you bring one less, don't expect to see tomorrow's sun."
Qin Tian spoke coldly.
In truth, with this guy's black market dealings,
even if he killed him, Qin Tian wouldn't feel the slightest guilt.
However, thinking back to how he had faced his true identity before, he didn't want to make things too rigid.
Five million Spirit Stones had already exceeded Qin Tian's expectations.
As long as this guy didn't let him down from now on,
he could consider letting this old man live.
"Hurry up and get it!"
The elder was on the verge of madness; he had originally intended to engage in a black market deal.
Little did he expect that he would actually be outmaneuvered.
However, it was he who ended up being the victim.
Just moments ago, he had seen that this kid was only at the Channeling Realm in his cultivation.
How could it be that in an instant, he was defeated by him?
Even his life and death were now in someone else's hands.
What has happened to this world?
The Shopkeeper dared not delay and hurried to the back to retrieve five hundred thousand spirit stones.
It was a Cosmic Bag adorned with intricate dragon and phoenix designs.
Qin Tian extended his consciousness and confirmed that there were indeed five hundred thousand spirit stones inside.
He then retracted his finger.
"This is a token of our meeting. I look forward to seeing you again."
Qin Tian casually tossed a smaller Cosmic Bag into the elder's hands and floated away.
"Find someone to track him down. Damn it, I've never suffered such a loss. Go summon the experts from our Sect; we must take him down and retrieve the five hundred thousand spirit stones."
The elder said indignantly.
The shopkeeper nodded and quickly assigned the task.
After taking a pill, the elder, who had finally managed to recover, opened the small Cosmic Bag.
His face went rigid.
Inside was a pile of crushed pills.
Anger.
Resentment.
He slammed his fist on the table.
But inadvertently, he touched the blood blister on his palm that had been punctured by Qin Tian.
The pain made his entire body tremble.
"This kid better not let me catch him. Otherwise, I will make sure he has no place to be buried."
He was about to throw away the small Cosmic Bag, but he hesitated.
He gently pinched a bit of powder and placed it in his mouth.
Then, a flash of terror crossed his eyes.
In disbelief, he pinched another bit.
Shaking, he placed it in his mouth again.
This time, the terror in his eyes surpassed every previous instance.
"Is this an Earth-Level Pill? There were originally more than a dozen complete Earth-Level Pills here. But he just crushed them all. That little brat, how infuriating!"
The elder was beside himself with rage, pounding the table fiercely, yet it did nothing to alleviate the anger in his heart.
He had been played.
...
Qin Tian walked out of the Purple Sun Auction House, taking a winding path to shake off several disciples from the Ziyang Immortal Sect who had been following him.
Afterward, he transformed into an ordinary street vendor.
A few streets later, he became a handsome scholar dressed in white.
After navigating through a few more alleys, he arrived at a secluded corner near the city gate of Starry Sky City.
Qin Tian reverted back to his original appearance.
"Five million Intermediate Spirit Stones. Haha, what a big profit!"
Qin Tian beamed with joy.
"You really are ruthless! They just wanted to engage in a little black market deal. Was it necessary to crush all twenty of those pills?"
Martial God Senior could only smile bitterly.
Sometimes, it's best not to provoke Qin Tian.
This kid usually keeps quiet.
On the surface, he seems like someone without a temper.
But if you think he's just a punching bag that can be bullied at will, you're gravely mistaken.
His silence doesn't mean he lacks anger.
It's simply that you haven't crossed his bottom line.
Once you do touch that line, no matter who you are, you'll suffer greatly.
"I finally have five million Spirit Stones! Now I can buy herbs and continue with Alchemy."
Qin Tian was overjoyed as he turned onto a bustling street.
Here, countless cultivators set up stalls selling Alchemy herbs.
Among them were both scattered cultivators and those from the Three Sects.
As he walked along, any time he encountered a disciple from the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, they recognized him immediately.
Qin Tian felt a bit embarrassed.
The sun was setting in the west.
Qin Tian's Cosmic Bag was already filled with herbs.
He returned home fully loaded.
Although he had not yet entered the Qi Control Realm, with Qin Tian's Perfect Meridian Realm cultivation, he could already begin to fly through the air.
Mountains and rivers rushed beneath his feet, fleeting by.
In less than a moment,
he returned to the Sky Peak Cave of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Once back, Qin Tian did not rest for a moment and hurried to refine pills.
He truly had little time left.
Two days later,
with a loud bang, the Alchemical Furnace that Qin Tian had exchanged for shattered into pieces.
At the same time, the last batch of pills was successfully refined.
"This Alchemical Furnace broke at just the right time, didn't it? Just as I ran out of herbs."
Qin Tian forced a bitter smile, unsure if it was just a coincidence.
"The Alchemical Furnace has its own lifespan. A typical Alchemical Furnace can only refine a limited number of times. In the future, if you can find a more powerful Alchemical Furnace, it might even accompany you for a lifetime."
Martial God Senior smiled lightly.
"This time, I chose a high-difficulty pill, and I managed to refine thirteen batches. Out of those, only eight were Earth-Level Pills. It seems that every previous batch being an Earth-Level Pill was just a coincidence?"
Qin Tian felt somewhat disappointed.
He had originally thought that as long as he refined the pills himself, they would definitely be above Earth Level.
Who would have known it was not the case at all?
"Kid, you're overthinking it. Even an Elder Level Alchemist can't guarantee that every batch will be above Earth Level. There will always be unexpected outcomes! However, with your current strength, you're already doing quite well.
Also, have you noticed? While practicing Alchemy, your Cultivation is quietly rising as well. Now, you are qualified to challenge the Qi Control Realm."
As Martial God Senior's words fell, Qin Tian realized that he indeed seemed to have the qualifications to break through to the Qi Control Realm.
Alchemy really does have many benefits, doesn't it?
Except that it truly costs money.
