Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 488 - 477: Butcher 17

As soon as Long Tianxing entered the main hall, he straightforwardly conveyed everything that Qin An had said.

In his view, whether this matter could succeed depended entirely on Princess Long San’s word.

To his surprise, when Princess Long San heard Long Tianxing mention exchanging five hundred elixirs for one monster soul, she immediately showed a look of delight.

Although it was slightly different from the outcome, five hundred elixirs for one monster soul was half as economical as the price offered by the Alchemy Master Alliance.

"The Dragon Palace agrees to this matter, but the matter of the alchemy location needs to be discussed in detail. Please wait here for a moment, I will go to consult with my Father. Once we have discussed it, I will inform you."

Long Tianxing cupped his hands in agreement.

Princess Long San immediately left the side hall and hurried towards where the Old Dragon King was.

About two hours later, Princess Long San returned to the side hall.

Two Dragon Demons followed behind her.

One Dragon Demon was carrying a pill furnace, while the other was carrying a treasure box.

A medicinal fragrance wafted out from the treasure box.

Long Tianxing understood that this might be the resources for refining those elixirs.

Princess Long San pointed at the pill furnace and the fragrance and then said, "The pill furnace belongs to the Dragon Palace. Let him use this; having just arrived in the Sky Cloud Path, he surely hasn’t found a top-notch pill furnace yet. As for the specific refining location, the Dragon Palace will communicate with the Evil Extermination Bureau to open an elixir shop within the Sky Cloud Path."

"The elixir shop will not sell to outsiders. Resources will be delivered there daily, and as long as Qin An goes to that elixir shop to refine the elixirs, they will naturally be continuously sent to the Dragon Palace."

"And each time they are refined, they can be exchanged for monster souls of equal value."

Long Tianxing nodded, picked up the pill furnace and treasure box, and said, "I will immediately go to where Qin An is and inform him of the situation."

Princess Long San nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Long Tianxing spoke no more, turned into his true dragon form, and quickly disappeared from the Dragon Palace with the pill furnace and treasure box.

Princess Long San watched Long Tianxing’s eager manner, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

...

On this day, Qin An, as usual, was cultivating his proficiency in the butcher’s shop.

In the meantime, Long Tianxing hurriedly arrived. After discussing the specifics in detail with Qin An, Qin An gladly agreed.

However, setting up the elixir shop would take some time, so for the next few days, Qin An did not have to go and refine elixirs, saving him from wasting time.

He devoted himself fully to cultivating his proficiency as a butcher.

...

At this moment, in a bustling area of the Sky Cloud Path, within a grand mansion.

A white-haired old man in a white robe looked at the pill furnace ahead with a satisfied smile.

Inside the pill furnace, fierce flames were continuously burning.

With a wave of his sleeve, the flames in the pill furnace were swiftly extinguished.

Beside the white-haired old man, a middle-aged man, seeing this wonderfully skilled alchemy technique, showed a look of admiration, then called in two disciples from the Alchemy Master Alliance to remove the elixirs inside.

The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said, "As expected of the Elixir King, Mr. Zhang, your alchemy technique truly makes one marvel at its wonder."

The white-haired old man Zhang Tianyi placed both hands behind his back, arrogantly saying, "Naturally, this batch of elixirs is almost done, don’t forget my commission."

The alliance hierarch nodded, "Rest assured, Elixir King, our Alchemy Master Alliance is always particular about doing things; we certainly won’t forget what we promised."

Only then did Zhang Tianyi contentedly stroke his beard, turning to leave.

He was the Elixir King of this Alchemy Master Alliance, and in terms of actual status, he was even higher than the alliance hierarch.

After all, his alchemy technique was the most top-notch in the Sky Cloud Path.

The number of elixirs refined today was already sufficient, so he planned to find a place to rest and take a stroll at the Teaching Visit Department in the evening.

Being someone like him, although his alchemy skills were extremely strong, his talent for cultivation was incredibly weak, so he could only rely on his alchemy technique to do well in the Sky Cloud Path.

And in fact, his reputation had long spread throughout the Sky Cloud Path.

Held his broom close, narrow-hearted, and vindictive.

He had heard various negative descriptors enough.

But Zhang Tianyi found these negative descriptors made him feel comfortable instead.

To live well in these times, of course he wouldn’t let go of this core alchemy technique, the more others belittled him, the more it showed their envy.

He knew this well.

The alliance hierarch, seeing Zhang Tianyi about to leave, instructed two disciples to escort him.

But as soon as he gave the order, a rush of hurried footsteps interrupted his next words.

A middle-aged man walked in quickly, hurriedly speaking without waiting for the alliance hierarch to begin.

"Hierarch, it’s not good, the Dragon Palace has cut off trade with us, saying they no longer want our elixirs in the future."

The alliance hierarch was slightly stunned, frowning, "Is the Dragon Palace crazy? Without our Alchemy Master Alliance’s elixirs, where would they find those resources?"

"Don’t forget, they still have a deadly rival, the Phoenix Demon clan is very eager to annihilate them."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I don’t know why either, but the Dragon Palace’s attitude seems very firm, unless we can offer five hundred elixirs in exchange for one monster soul, they absolutely won’t cooperate with us."

The alliance hierarch was about to speak, but he heard a sharp voice in his ear.

"What? Five hundred elixirs for one monster soul?"

Zhang Tianyi’s beard and hair stood on end, angrily saying, "Do they really think my elixirs are cheap goods on the street? Whether they want them or not, one day, when they’re wiped out by the Phoenix Demon clan, they’ll realize just how serious today’s consequences are!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Tianyi was extremely angry.

Who was he?

He was the supreme Elixir King of the Sky Cloud Path, with a very strong alchemy technique.

Sects wanting to cooperate with him had to weigh if they had the ability.

But now this Dragon Palace dared to cut ties with him so easily.

It was simply infuriating!

This is a direct slap to his face.

He decided never to cooperate with the Dragon Palace again; otherwise, if other forces found out that the Pill King was so cheap, they would surely talk about him behind his back.

The Alliance Hierarch saw Zhang Tianyi so furious, and after a bit of soothing, asked, "If the Dragon Palace doesn’t cooperate with us, how do we counter the Phoenix Demon clan? They must have another way to obtain pills, otherwise, they wouldn’t do this."

"You go investigate in detail who exactly is supplying them with pills."

As the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemy Master Alliance, he considered more than Zhang Tianyi did.

To be able to manage such a vast alliance so well, he must have some brains.

Therefore, he speculated that the Dragon Palace must have found support; otherwise, they wouldn’t rashly cut off contact with the Alchemy Master Alliance.

Zhang Tianyi, hearing this, immediately exclaimed, "Who could possibly be their support? I don’t believe anyone in the Skycloud Dao is more skilled in alchemy than me."

"My integrated alchemy technique is a unique skill, saving them so much effort. How could they find someone better than me?"

The Alliance Hierarch frowned slightly at Zhang Tianyi’s arrogant remarks but could only comfort him by saying, "Pill King, don’t act rashly. Let me investigate the reason first. If the Dragon Palace truly has support, we will find out who it is."

"If they have no support, they are courting death by doing this; we will let them meet their fate."

To be honest, the Alliance Hierarch and many in the Alchemy Master Alliance were displeased with Zhang Tianyi.

But Zhang Tianyi possessed a unique skill.

Currently, only he knew this unique skill, even the Alchemy Master Alliance didn’t know it and could only rely on him to bring higher profits to the Alchemy Master Alliance.

Therefore, even in such an awkward situation, he still forced himself to offer a few words of comfort.

Zhang Tianyi snorted coldly, flung his sleeves, and spoke no more.

Only then did the Alliance Hierarch continue, "Immediately go investigate, do not waste time."

The middle-aged man agreed and quietly left the room.

The Alliance Hierarch also left the alchemy room after a few more words of consolation.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.

The sky darkened slightly, Qin An left the butcher shop but did not go to the Evil Extermination Bureau. Instead, he followed a small path to a shop.

The shop looked very ordinary, but upon entering, a strong medicinal aroma could be smelled.

At this time, a Void Shattering Realm Dragon Demon was at the counter, pretending to check accounts.

When he heard footsteps, he immediately took a portrait from a side counter, carefully compared it, and then clasped his hands to say.

"Little demon, greets Mr. Qin! I’ve long heard of Mr. Qin’s great name, and seeing it today, it truly lives up to it."

Qin An raised an eyebrow and said, "No need for pleasantries. We’ve never met before, so how could you have long heard of my name? Take me to the alchemy area."

Starting today, Qin An would have to refine a thousand pills daily, amounting to about ten thousand per month.

Therefore, Qin An had to spend ten days each month to make the time to refine these pills.

As for why not more, even if the Dragon Palace had abundant resources, they would not store pills with such abandon.

So they only produce as needed.

However, for Qin An, this was already quite good.

Ten thousand pills equals twenty demon spirits, enough to elevate two cultivation techniques to proficiency in the Void Shattering Realm.

As for more demon spirits needed for further advancements, they would accumulate slowly.

The Dragon Demon immediately led Qin An into the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard was already filled with a large amount of materials and a fine pill furnace.

Qin An didn’t waste words, casually tossing materials into the pill furnace.

This scene made the Dragon Demon watching nearby exceedingly anxious.

He had never seen such a rough alchemy technique.

However, he didn’t comment but continued to quietly watch from the side.

Qin An’s refinement was extremely relaxed, after all, Qin An had the Heart Alchemy Technique, and he had refined these types of pills before, making it very familiar to him without needing to be overly complex.

Soon, batch after batch of pills was extracted from the pill furnace.

When the count reached a thousand, Qin An stopped immediately, looking at the empty treasure chest, he said.

"If you can accumulate more resources and deliver them here tomorrow, I’ll make more and finish the ten thousand pill quota early, then I can rest sooner."

The Dragon Demon watched with growing admiration.

He instinctively picked up a pill, finding its color and quality no different from those refined by Zhang Tianyi.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowing and saying, "I will relay Mr. Qin’s words back to the Dragon Palace. If the Dragon King can gather more materials, they will deliver them in one shipment for Mr. Qin to refine."

Qin An nodded and continued, "If you can keep my involvement a secret, do so. I have no desire to expose myself for now."

Although not fearing entanglements with the Alchemy Master Alliance, Qin An naturally wished to minimize troubles when possible.

The Dragon Demon quickly agreed, and when he looked up, Qin An had already gone far.

"What a peculiar person, but indeed as Princess Long San said, though his character is strange, he is very reliable," the Dragon Demon thought.

In the days that followed, Qin An lived a very regular life.

After refining the pills needed by the Dragon Palace, he once again immersed himself in refining his skills as a butcher.

...

Time passed, and several days had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Qin An wiped the grease off his hands clean with a rag by his side and then turned to say to the butcher shop owner.

"I won’t be coming here for a while, so I’ll leave this place to you."

The butcher shop owner agreed repeatedly.

Qin An said no more and hurried back to the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Just as he closed the door, lines of smoke appeared before his eyes.
