Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 73: Secrets of The Perfect Pill
Chapter 73: Secrets of The Perfect Pill
Jiang Hao thought it wasn’t a lie; after all, owning this big establishment, she must have her own information network in the whole Eastern region.
"So, why did she send you?"
"Senior, I am here to auction some pills."
Mei Ling nodded; she had expected that much. Huan Caiyi was a master-level alchemist, and in the Eastern region, only a few were as good as her.
"Well, bring it out. I will check the pills first. We take 10% of the overall profits as a cut."
Jiang Hao nodded.
When Mei Ling saw him nod, she kept staring at him.
Jiang Hao became a little confused and asked, "Senior, is something wrong?"
"Well, not really. If in your place Huan Caiyi was here, then I wouldn’t be able to get that 10 percent cut; at most, it would have been 5 percent."
Jiang Hao became speechless, but he wasn’t going to haggle like Senior Huan, not to mention he wouldn’t be able to do so.
"Cough... Senior, here."
He took out a peak Grade 5 pill from his storage bag and handed it to Mei Ling.
Mei Ling took the pill bottle and opened it. There was a single red pill inside.
She took it out casually before using her spirit sense to check its potency, and once she had done that, her eyes widened and her hand, which was holding the pill, trembled a little.
She couldn’t believe it; it was a perfect-tier pill.
She couldn’t help but look at Jiang Hao seriously and said, "Is this really concocted by Huan Caiyi?"
Jiang Hao nodded; he didn’t understand what the problem was here.
"Impossible, unless you are a Grandmaster, you can’t make perfect-tier pills. And to become a Grandmaster, you have to be in the Heavenly King realm and follow a Pill-making Dao.
And I know that Huan Caiyi was far from any of these categories. So, how the hell did she create a perfect-tier pill? Did she get it from any inheritance site?"
Jiang Hao didn’t know what he could say here; Senior Huan hadn’t mentioned the implications of perfect-tier pills.
This was the first time he had heard that to create a perfect-tier pill, you have to be at the Grandmaster realm in pill-making.
When Mei Ling saw him silent, she asked, "You didn’t know about it?"
Jiang Hao nodded.
"Well, it’s the truth, so this pill definitely isn’t created by her. She must have gotten it from somewhere; after all, it is impossible to refine herbs to 100 percent purity. Even Grandmasters aren’t able to refine it to 100 percent; that’s why they use their Pill Dao to forcefully elevate it to perfect-tier or above."
Jiang Hao finally understood the reason but he couldn’t tell the truth, so he still stayed silent. He still had 99 more of these pills, not to mention 40 were of peak Grade 6.
What would be her reaction when he brought them out? Because he was here to sell them and couldn’t take them back.
He could only hope she didn’t try to kill him and loot all the pills in greed.
"A peak Grade 5 pill is usually sold around 10,000 spirit stones, but since it’s a perfect-tier, it will go for 12,000 to 15,000 easily.
Is this all she had sent, or some of her own created pills?"
Jiang Hao nodded and took out a Grade 6 pill and handed it to her.
When Mei Ling saw the blue pill with her spirit sense, she almost cursed out loud.
"What the hell, how lucky can she be?"
Jiang Hao became speechless. Should he tell her that the person she was calling lucky thought herself unlucky?
"I was trying to find a perfect-tier water-attributed pill for the past year but didn’t hear about it being sold anywhere. But here, when I had just given up, you brought me the thing I wanted the most.
I will buy it at the highest price of 25,000 normal spirit stones. Is it okay with you?"
"Senior, you can have this pill if you want. Senior Huan had already told me that this pill might be needed by you."
"Ohh... when did she become this caring? Did she get hurt in her head recently?"
"Cough... Senior, the thing is that she also asked me to tell you that this pill will cost 30,000 normal spirit stones."
Mei Ling looked at Jiang Hao while he looked back at her.
She finally nodded and said, "As expected of a shameless swindler. It was my own fault to think that she had become caring enough."
Jiang Hao nodded to show that he agreed with her.
"Fine, I guess this is it? Or did she send something which she had really created?"
Jiang Hao nodded and pointed towards the pill bottle of Grade 5 and said, "Senior, I have 59 more of these, while 39 more of Grade 6 pills similar to the one in your hand, all perfect grades."
Mei Ling couldn’t believe what she had just heard and asked for confirmation, "Say it again?"
Jiang Hao sighed and was about to repeat when she stopped him.
"No, don’t say it. I won’t believe it again even if I heard it again, so bring them out."
Jiang Hao nodded and brought out all 98 pill bottles. The table between them was big enough to hold them.
Mei Ling’s eyelids twitched watching all these pill bottles, and she used her spirit sense multiple times on herself to see if she was in an illusion or not.
She finally calmed herself and looked through every pill and found that all were really perfect grades.
She sighed inwardly and said, "Say, are they really made by Huan Caiyi?"
Jiang Hao nodded, although maybe more than half of the work was done by him.
"Fuck... what kind of treasure did she get?"
Jiang Hao became speechless hearing her cuss word. Also, the treasure she was talking about was technically him.
"Whatever, next time I meet her, I will make sure she coughs out all her secrets."
She looked towards the pills and then Jiang Hao.
"This is going to create mayhem in the Eastern region, and I will love to see them all scurrying over to this city in a hurry once I release some news about it.
Are you in a hurry to leave the city? If you can trust me, then you can stay here for the time being, because the more time you give them, the more spirit stones they will be able to gather."
Jiang Hao nodded. He wasn’t afraid of an ambush at all; this was the reason he was here instead of Huan Caiyi. And the most important part was that he didn’t feel any killing intent from her even when he took out all the pills. She was really a straightforward and trustworthy person.
She was quite valuable for them. Forget about auction houses; she had a good information network too. It would really become useful for them.
"Good, let’s create some ruckus."
Mei Ling used her spirit sense and called the manager back while Jiang Hao put the pills back.
It didn’t take long before he was standing in front of them.
"Release the news in the whole Eastern domain that Heavenly Fortune will be holding another auction in this branch in 3 days, and if anyone misses it, then they will definitely regret it for the rest of their life. If they miss it, then they shouldn’t blame us for not informing them about it."
Fatty couldn’t help but say, "But Mistress, we still haven’t collected enough treasure to auction, as we just had the auction yesterday."
"And I don’t know that?"
"T... that’s not what I mean, Mistress." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Then just go and do what I have told and don’t show me your stupidity."
"Yes, Mistress," he bowed and looked towards Jiang Hao. No matter what, this matter was really related to this person.
"Also, he will be living with us, so prepare a room for him."
"As you wish." He left to do so.
Jiang Hao waited for his room to get ready inside Mei Ling’s room as she didn’t tell him to go away.
"Let me ask you something. Those new cultivators arriving in Sky Pavilion are because of you guys, right?"
Jiang Hao looked at her and nodded.
"Seriously, did Huan Caiyi loot their ancestors’ grave or something? They have even sent 2 Mid-stage Heavenly King realm cultivators."
This was expected after Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui had killed a Heavenly King realm cultivator along with his team of 4 Void Reversion realm cultivators.
Jiang Hao was surprised that they had only sent 2 Mid-stage Heavenly King realm cultivators instead of sending more.
Would 2 Heavenly King realm cultivators really be enough? He didn’t know as he didn’t have a proper strength comparison to evaluate their strength.
Jiang Hao looked at her and asked, since she was willing to talk, he should get some information from her. She would definitely know about their movements.
"Senior, is there anyone from them in this city?"
Mei Ling looked at him and said, "Every city on the border of Dark Forest has at least one peak Void Reversion realm cultivator from their group.
I heard that they are mainly paying attention to every Void Reversion cultivator coming to these cities, especially women cultivators, but not overly. They just check what they are doing while being hidden."
Jiang Hao understood from their perspective that only Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui could make a trip from the forbidden zone to the cities, and they weren’t wrong to think about that.
