In fact, he was already relieved that Ling Yuanqing was willing to say this. After all, he couldn't possibly say that these pills were refined by Lin Yi. If he did that, it might cause trouble for Lin Yi, and he couldn't bear the consequences.
"Since you don't trust the alchemists of the commerce, let me do it." A strange looking middle-aged man suddenly spoke, and the crowd immediately opened up a path for him. This person had green hair and a green beard, and was the head Seventh Grade Alchemist of the Morning Star Academy, Qing Danzi.
"Grandmaster Qing Danzi?" Honest Chai was startled. Although he had a bad premonition in his heart, since the other party was the head Alchemist of the Morning Star Academy, he naturally had the right to speak on this matter. He could only nod and say, "Since you're here to personally test the pills, I naturally have no problems."
"Good, then take out the pills first." Qing Danzi immediately ordered. Because the auction had just ended, the pills had not yet been handed over to the buyers. Very quickly, the workers gathered all the pills together and brought them out.
Looking at this neat and tidy plate of pills, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. No matter how these pills came to be, it didn't change the fact that each and every one of them was a rare pill. Any one of them alone was enough to make people drool. But now, there was a whole plate of pills here, with a total value of more than ninety million spirit jades!
It was only because of the presence of a super expert like Ling Yuanqing. Otherwise, with the temptation of ninety million spirit jades, it was hard to say what these people would do. It might even turn into a bloodbath.
"As long as it's a high grade pill, especially a sixth or seventh grade pill, the alchemist will mark it with a unique divine sense mark. This is to prove that the pill was refined by the alchemist himself. Therefore, if there's no accident, all the pills here will have a divine sense mark. We just need to check if these divine sense marks were made by the same alchemist." Qing Danzi said as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Even Honest Chai nodded his head in agreement. This way, things would be much simpler. After all, any expert would be able to do it and not necessarily a pill refiner. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about the other party being biased towards Shopkeeper Hao and the others.
After all, as the chief alchemist of the academy, Master Qing Danzi, there were rumors in the streets that he had already chosen to collaborate with the Aristocratic Union. In particular, the Morning Star Auction Ceremony had been held because of his stance, so it was obvious which side he was on.
After that, Qing Danzi immediately began to check the Spiritual Sense Marks one by one. However, after he had checked all the pills, he suddenly froze and could not speak.
"How is it?" Manager Hao and the others asked impatiently. They were waiting for Qing Danzi to give the verdict to the Hong Chamber of Commerce and invalidate the results of the auction.
Qing Danzi frowned, not speaking for a long time. Beside him, Ling Yuanqing glanced at him and personally used his divine sense to examine the pills. Then, he also revealed an expression of surprise. "These pills don't have any divine sense marks on them. Not even one."
Everyone was in an uproar, each and every one of them had a look of disbelief on their faces. How could there be no divine sense mark on such a high-grade pill?
However, since even Ling Yuanqing said so, it meant that there really wasn't any!
"According to Master Qing Danzi, since high-grade pills all have their own unique marks, then the lack of divine sense marks on these pills should be considered a special mark. This should be enough to prove that they were made by the same person, right?" Honest Chai sneered.
Wan Zhongjie, Manager Hao, and the others were instantly dumbfounded. They looked at each other and did not know what to say. They could only look at Qing Danzi.
The suggestion to inspect the pills was not just a whim. With their many years of experience as a shopkeeper, they truly believed that these pills were put together by Honest Chai at the last minute. If not, if he really had such an amazing supply of pills, the Hong Merchant Guild would not have fallen to such a state where they were being attacked by everyone.
"No." At this moment, Qing Danzi's expression suddenly turned cold. He said with uncertainty, "Every single pill here is the masterpiece of an alchemist. Even if one or two don't have a divine sense mark on them, it is impossible for all of them to not have any. This is the best opportunity to stabilize the position of an alchemist. I guarantee that no alchemist will give up on this opportunity easily.
To be an alchemist, one couldn't just practice hard behind closed doors alone. To put it bluntly, this was a profession that consumed a lot of Spiritual Jades. Almost every step of progress required a large amount of alchemy materials. Especially at the Seventh Level, it was an astronomical figure that was hard to estimate. It was even more exaggerated than 90,000,000 Spiritual Jades!
It was precisely because of this that it was impossible for a Seventh Grade Alchemist to exist independently. Only a powerful force like the East Continent Academy could afford to support one. In order to pursue higher treatment, all Alchemists would try their best to raise their status and reputation. Only then would they have the opportunity to advance further.
Qing Danzi had done this himself, and all the high level Alchemists he had seen before had done the same without exception.
"Supreme Grade Golden Condensing Soul Pill, Superior Grade Grand Revitalizing Pill, Superior Grade Beautifying Pill, Superior Grade Profound Thunder Pill. Every single one of these pills is a supreme pill that is hard to come by even for a Seventh Grade alchemist. As long as you put a mark on these pills, you will undoubtedly become the chief alchemist of any Golden Grade Academy. Who do you think would willingly give up on this opportunity?" Qing Danzi glanced at Honest Chai.
Facing Qing Danzi's invisible pressure, Honest Chai subconsciously took two steps back. The others nodded in agreement. No alchemist would not want to become the chief alchemist. Qing Danzi's words were very reasonable.
"But … but, these pills truly don't have any divine sense marks on them. How do you explain this?" Honest Chai braced himself and asked.
"It's very simple. These pills originally had divine sense marks on them, but they were purposely erased by someone. As for why they did this, I don't think I need to explain further." Qing Danzi's tone was unpredictable.
"Grandmaster Qing Danzi is right. Honest Chai, you look so honest on the outside, but who would have thought that you would be so cunning in the dark. In order to obtain the qualifications to become a supplier, you would even use such a despicable method. Too sinister!" Wan Zhongjie, Shopkeeper Hao, and the others immediately added insult to injury.
"You all!" Honest Chai opened his mouth in grief and indignation, but not a single word came out. This Qing Danzi was obviously siding with the other merchant groups, but his words were impeccable. Even if he were to argue with him, it was obvious who the crowd would believe.
