This was the advantage of being a pill refiner. Their statuses were very high, and even high and mighty figures had to humble themselves in front of high-ranking pill refiners like them. Zheng Dongsheng enjoyed this feeling the most.
"So that's how it is. It seems that Deputy Island Master Wu still has a good eye. Burning incense and praying to the Buddha, one is afraid of worshipping the wrong temple. However, Deputy Island Master Wu has really found the right person this time. With you, Grandmaster Zheng, personally taking action, wouldn't refining pills be a piece of cake?" Tong Yangsuo took the opportunity to flatter Zheng Dongsheng. It was no wonder Zheng Dongsheng agreed to help so easily. In the past, it would have been very difficult to get this great person to help, no matter how high the price was.
Zheng Dongsheng laughed heartily. He enjoyed Tong Yangsuo's flattery very much. After some thought, he said, "How about this? I'll write a letter to Deputy Island Master Wu personally. Shopkeeper Tong, get someone to deliver it to him. He will definitely come."
"Okay. Thank you, Master Zheng." Tong Yangsuo was elated. Although Lin Yi was unexpectedly strong, if he could get Wu Miao to help, a mere Lin Yi would be nothing.
While Zheng Dongsheng and Tong Yangsuo were talking, Diao Huanshan, who was limping like Zhao Youque, suddenly came to the door with a bitter expression.
"Why aren't you recuperating? Why are you here?" Tong Yangsuo frowned when he saw this. If Zhao Youque, who came with Zheng Dongsheng, hadn't suffered a great loss, he wouldn't have treated this guy nicely. After all, he had embarrassed himself in front of Zheng Dongsheng.
"Shopkeeper Tong, Master Zheng, bad news!" Diao Huanshan smiled bitterly.
"What bad news? Master Zheng and I are here. What can go wrong? Why are you so flustered? That's not proper! "Tong Yangsuo reprimanded him.
"Shopkeeper Tong, it's really bad news. Someone just reported that Tiandan Pavilion has started to place orders for refining pills, and they're taking orders for seventh-grade pills!" said Diao Huanshan.
"What?" Tong Yangsuo and Zheng Dongsheng stood up in shock.
"It's true. Their Heavenly Elixir Pavilion has accumulated a lot of popularity over the past two years because of their high quality elixirs. Their reputation has always been good. Their only weakness is that the grade of their elixirs is not high enough. But now, this weakness has become their strength. A seventh-grade elixir. This is even better than our Medicine Sect!" Diao Huanshan said with a bitter face.
It was rare for them to invite Zheng Dongsheng to take charge. The Famous Medicine Sect had already overshadowed the Heavenly Dan Pavilion in terms of fame by announcing that they would be able to refine a sixth-grade pill on the spot. Coupled with Diao Huan Shan's deliberate provocation, the two sects were like fire and water. Under the storm, they became the focus of public opinion. The Famous Medicine Sect took this opportunity to gain a lot of attention and attracted a lot of people.
However, now that the Heavenly Elixir Pavilion had spread the news of a seventh-grade elixir, the popularity that the Famous Medicine Sect had just attracted was instantly snatched away. Even the customers who had previously reserved the sixth-grade elixir also canceled their subscriptions one after another. It was obvious that they had gone to the Heavenly Elixir Pavilion. They had worked so hard, but in the end, their hard work had gone to someone else. How could they endure this?
"Impossible! How can a small Tiandan Pavilion refine seventh-grade pills! " Tong Yangsuo's first reaction was disbelief. Seventh-grade Alchemists were rare in these Heaven-Stage Islands. Even if there were one or two, they would soon be poached by the East Continent Colleges.
How could a small pill shop like Tiandan Pavilion, which had no background, afford to raise a seventh-grade Alchemist? Even if they took out all their profits, it would be far from enough!
"Since he dared to say such things, it means that he does have the ability. Otherwise, he would be courting death. I don't think that Lin Yi is so stupid. Could it be that this Tiandan Pavilion also has a background in the East Continent?" Zheng Dongsheng said thoughtfully.
This was the only possibility he could think of. Tiandan Pavilion, like the Medicine Sect here, had spent a lot of money to invite a high-level Alchemist like him. That was why they dared to say such arrogant words.
"That's impossible. I've spent a lot of effort to investigate the details of Tiandan Pavilion in the past two years. This is purely a small pill shop. It only has the background of The Will of Heaven. It has nothing to do with the East Continent," Tong Yangsuo said with certainty. Tiandan Pavilion was now a thorn in his side. If he hadn't investigated it clearly, he wouldn't have dared to let Diao Huanshan come to provoke it.
"If that's the case, then we really have to think about it. Maybe there's a master behind it." Zheng Dongsheng frowned and then said to Tong Yangsuo, "How about this, I don't need to write a letter. Manager Tong, you can directly bring my name card to invite Deputy Island Master Wu. There's no time to lose, let's go now!"
"Okay!" Tong Yangsuo nodded repeatedly.
"Also, why don't you ask my cousin to come as well? One more person means one more force," Zheng Dongsheng added.
"This …" Tong Yangsuo hesitated for a moment. The cousin Zheng Dongsheng mentioned was naturally the Deputy Hall Master of the Pill Hall, Zheng Dongjue. On the surface, his relationship with the Medicine Sect and the Five Elements Commerce had always been bad. Naturally, he didn't get along well with Zheng Dongjue, the person in charge of the Pill Hall. However, this was only on the surface.
Zheng Dongsheng naturally knew about this. However, if he invited Wu Miao this time, it would definitely be suspicious if he invited Zheng Dongjue as well.
"There's nothing to hesitate about. Deputy Island Master Wu is someone we can trust. We have to let him know about this relationship sooner or later. Why don't we take this opportunity to confess in person? This way, we can leave a good impression of him. Just tell him that it's my idea. Dongjue won't object," Zheng Dongsheng instructed.
"Okay." Tong Yangsuo nodded and immediately went out to call for Wu Miao.
An hour later, there were a few more VIPs in the Medicine Sect's VIP room. Zheng Dongsheng sat on the main seat, while his cousin, Zheng Dongjue, sat on his right. Tong Yangsuo sat next to Zheng Dongjue.
On Zheng Dongsheng's left was a stern-looking man with a long beard. He was undoubtedly the new Deputy Island Master of Middle Island, Wu Miao!
However, there was an unexpected and uninvited guest sitting next to Wu Miao. It was Southern Aurora from Middle Island's Cultivators Academy!
With Southern Polar Light's strength and status, even though he had lost the competition against Tian Xing for the position of Deputy Island Master, he was still considered an extraordinary person. However, he had never had any dealings with the Medicine Sect, so Tong Yangsuo naturally would not specially invite him. The reason why he had appeared here this time was actually a coincidence.
The reason was simple. When Tong Yangsuo went to invite Wu Miao, Southern Aurora happened to be there. When he heard that it was to deal with Tiandan Pavilion and Lin Yi, he immediately came on a whim to join in the fun.
