Chapter 60 Wu Liu Comes Again

After Jin Sumian left, Old Man Lin chatted with Pei Ling for a while and began to settle the payment.

The Bone Tempering Pills that were sold to Jin Sumian alone were sold at 60 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. As for the remaining 11 pills, after some discussion, they were sold at 55 inferior-grade Spirit Stones per pill. In other words, he got 665 inferior-grade Spirit Stones for such a bottle of Bone Tempering Pills!

After deducting all costs for the first refinement, the net profit was 571 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

It was more than a few times higher than his previous estimation!

“Reward… This is real profit!” Pei Ling was excited but did not show it on his face. He exchanged a few polite words with Old Man Lin and promised that he would come to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to sell similar quality pills the next time he got them. Then he left in a hurry.

After all, no matter how high the profits were, he only had a few hundred spirit stones now. It was not even enough to cover the fine.

He had to make the most of the time to earn spirit stones.

It was not until he left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion that Pei Ling came back to his senses. Wu Liu had told him before that the Holy Sect had obtained a cultivator with the Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Body. In order to study the uniqueness of his physique, they severed his limbs, removed his eyeballs, cut off his tongue, cut open his stomach, and cut out his internal organs… In the end, he was tortured to death!

In his current situation, it was fine if he only went to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to sell pills once. If he sold superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills every time, the fact that he was the one who refined the pills would definitely be discovered. At that time, if he was treated as the second “Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Body”…

At this thought, Pei Ling immediately decided that he should not take the risk!

The next time I go to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, I must disguise myself!

Meanwhile, in a forest some distance away from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Lu Luqiang was also guessing. “Junior Sister Jin, superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills are so precious, so how could that Chen Huan be willing to give them to someone? And an entire bottle at a time. Is it possible that that kid is the refiner himself?”

“Of course not!” Jin Sumian could not help laughing when she heard that. She said calmly, “Junior Sister Lu, you don’t know how to refine pills. No wonder you have such fanciful thoughts. Let’s put it this way. We’ve never heard of that junior brother until just now. Even if he started learning to refine pills from memory, he’s still unknown up until now. It’s obvious that he’s a mediocre person.

If he brought an inferior-grade Bone Tempering Pill today, he might have refined it himself. But a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill? And an entire bottle of superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills?

He must be really blessed. But how is that possible?

If refining pills is so easy, why would I waste my time studying meticulously?”

As she spoke, she took out the superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill that she had just bought from her sleeve and sized it up with an admiring gaze. “You’re all amateurs, so you can’t tell. This superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill has extremely ordinary materials. The reason why it can become a superior-grade pill is because the person who refines it has peerlessly exquisite and almost perfect refining skills. From the step of processing the materials, all the impurities were removed. What remained were pure medicinal properties.

Then, during the refinement process, the medicinal properties of all the materials were optimized and a perfect balance was established!

In other words, not a single pill from this bottle of Bone Tempering Pills became superior by luck. It was purely based on the refiner’s ability.

The Bone Tempering Pill is just the most ordinary pill, but this Bone Tempering Pill contains the hard work of an absolute master. To an alchemist like me, its value is unimaginable!

Actually, this kind of pill should not be sold to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion like ordinary cultivation items. It should be auctioned.

If that junior brother is really the refiner, why would he waste such a treasure so recklessly? Only he himself said that he got it by chance and was ignorant. That was why he sent it to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.”

As Jin Sumian spoke, she slowly put away the superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill and snorted with a smile. “Such a stupid and unbearable person can sell good things to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion cheaply. If I can refine a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill, I’ll even swallow the pill refinement furnace!”

Lu Luqiang and the others nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Shao Ning’s gaze flashed as he said, “In that case, should we immediately send someone to Shady Sophora Peak to contact that Chen Huan so as to avoid delaying Junior Sister from seeking advice from the master?”

Jin Sumian nodded and said, “Send someone over immediately! However, before we know about Chen Huan’s relationship with this master, we have to be polite.”

“Junior Sister, you’re right.” Shao Ning nodded politely. “I’ll remind my subordinates to be careful.”

Pei Ling did not know what these people were thinking. After he left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he instinctively rushed to the market. However, halfway there, he suddenly realized something. Although the system’s guidance in pill refinement was useful, it had failed because of insufficient spiritual power during the second furnace.

In other words, the plan of not eating, drinking, or concocting pills day and night that he had envisaged previously… was not feasible in reality.

After all, the system could handle it, but he could not!

“Fortunately, that Senior Sister Jin gave me a bottle of Essence Enhancing Pills just now,” Pei Ling muttered. “The Essence Enhancing Pills can help me recover my spiritual power. This bottle is enough to last me for a few days.”

However, Jin Sumian only gave him one bottle. After he had finished using it, Pei Ling would fall into a situation of insufficient spiritual power and wasting materials again.

It seems that my previous intention of temporarily putting down my cultivation and going all out to earn spirit stones is not very reliable. Pei Ling frowned and thought to himself, If I want to earn spirit stones, I have to keep up with my cultivation! Otherwise, even with the system’s 100% superior-grade pill refinement cheat sheet, I might not be able to earn enough to pay my fine within three months.

At the thought of this, Pei Ling decided to leave a portion of the Bone Tempering Pills that he would refine for his own use.

After his cultivation level increased, he would not fail in refining pills because of insufficient spiritual energy. He would then sell the remaining Bone Tempering Pills.

But every time, it’s superior-grade pills. Even if I disguise myself, if I do it too many times, there will inevitably be trouble. Pei Ling thought of a countermeasure. After all, I’m just a new disciple. My words don’t carry weight and my cultivation level is low. I’m afraid I can’t withstand these people’s schemes. Should I think of a way to discuss with Senior Brother Zheng and use his name to do things?

Wait! Money moves people’s hearts. What if Senior Brother Zheng has evil intentions too?

As he was thinking, he took a step forward. Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent!

Pei Ling was stunned. The originally beautiful scenery seemed to have changed in an instant to one of desolation.

“Miss Wu Liu?” Having experienced a similar transformation, Pei Ling was only slightly surprised before he reacted and greeted politely, “Is Miss here?”

A cold finger touched his lips teasingly.

Wu Liu instantly appeared. With a pale face and pure black eyes, she exuded a cold aura and said gently, “Young Master Pei Ling, it has been a long time.

“Replying to Miss Wu Liu.” This female ghost’s actions seemed gentle and affectionate, but Pei Ling felt a heavy weight pressing down on him. Even breathing was difficult.

He tried his best to stabilize his mind and forced a smile. “I’ve already mastered the Blood Spiraling Escape Technique. Miss, please release your suppression and allow me to show

you.”

“Blood Spiraling Escape Technique?” The sinister-looking Wu Liu relaxed and blurted out, “Isn’t it the Blood Ghost Escape Technique?”
