The next day, early in the morning, Su Yu ran out of the Demon Mountain and went straight to the Raging Flame Cabinet.
Along the way, everyone looked at Su Yu, and their gazes were still the same as yesterday. They were filled with respect, fear, and respect.
Su Yu felt bitter in his heart. His reputation of being unparalleled and unparalleled had already spread throughout the faction, right?
"Wow, did you see that? That is the newly promoted fifth demon, Supreme Middle! "
"Hmm, looks like he has completely gained the recognition of the four great fiendish demons and has become the new generation of fiendish demons."
"Quick, run! He's coming! Quickly hide Little Junior Sister and your wife! If he can force himself on Bing Wuxin, which woman can't he do it with?"
Su Yu's ears were extremely sharp, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he almost bled.
His good mood vanished in an instant.
With a black face, Su Yu arrived at the Raging Flame Cabinet.
Xiao Chen swiped his card and entered. He turned around and saw the alluring Cabinet Master Xue Lian, who had a faint smile on her face.
"Oh, the Supreme Central Demon has come. It's my pavilion's honor to have you here." The alluring Cabinet Mistress laughed heartily. It was only today that she found out that Su Yu had been conferred the title of Supreme Central Demon.
Su Yu rolled his eyes at her. "Cut the crap. Where are the materials?"
The alluring Cabinet Mistress teased Su Yu and brought him to the secret room at the end of the hall. She then said, "This is a secret room that was specially awarded to me by the sanctum. You don't have to pay any merit points for it, and all of the materials are inside it. I have prepared 40 sets of them for you just in case. You can refine them as you see fit."
Su Yu entered the secret room and quickly entered the elixir production state.
With his previous success, it was a walk in the park for him to refine the Primordial Chaos True Pill.
Third grade True Return Pills were successfully refined in an orderly manner.
The alluring Cabinet Mistress dispelled the elixir's fragrance from time to time, and a faint smile appeared on her charming face.
In the evening, Su Yu walked out of the Raging Flame Cabinet, his whole body exhausted. Before he left, he gave her twenty elixirs.
The alluring Cabinet Master revealed a joyful expression as she looked at the alluring elixir. "Little fellow, whether the Cabinet Master can get rich or not depends on you."
As she spoke, she pretended to kiss Su Yu's face again.
Su Yu hurriedly stepped aside and said with a bitter smile, "Cabinet Master, do you have such a good impression of old people?"
The cabinet master smiled coquettishly and sent Su Yu off.
After stretching his body, Su Yu slowly walked toward the Demon Mountain. When he passed by the Heavenly Peak Tower, he subconsciously took a look at it and saw Shangguan Yunque having a discussion with several of his friends.
They were the three fair-weather friends that he had promised to guarantee their loan. There was also a burly man at the table.
He wore a rough barbed necklace around his neck. His upper body was bare, and his gaze was fierce. One look and anyone could tell that he was a fiendish person.
Shangguan Yunque and the others were expressing their goodwill to him.
Guaranteed loans? Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He hoped that Shangguan Yunque would have some sense of propriety and wouldn't get himself into unnecessary trouble.
When he returned to Demon Mountain, the four demons were cultivating in their residences. There was no sign of the liveliness from the gathering.
Su Yu sighed inwardly. The reason why the four of them were able to suppress the outer sanctum was not because of their strange temperament or talent, but because of their hard work.
Even geniuses needed to work hard to achieve success. Mediocre people needed to work even harder.
When Zhang Xuan returned to his room, he discovered that Zixuan wasn't around.
"I'll investigate the sect."
She was still unwilling to give up, and she wanted to find out where Su Yu was as soon as possible.
Su Yu smiled, closed his eyes, and prepared to enter a state of cultivation.
However, at this moment, a ripple transmitted into his mind.
The small kylin?
Su Yu was quite curious, so his soul entered the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl.
When he entered, the small kylin pounced at him and rubbed itself against him affectionately.
Ever since the Zhenlong world-destroying battle, the small kylin had been sleeping in the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl.
"I want to go out and play." The small kylin placed its hooves on Su Yu's shoulder and spoke in a childish voice.
Su Yu was startled, as this was the first time he had heard it speak a complete sentence since he had adopted it.
When he observed it carefully, he discovered that the small kylin's body had grown larger than before, and it felt heavier when he held it in his arms.
Did it evolve? Su Yu was flabbergasted. He hadn't fed the small kylin any precious treasures, and it seemed like it wasn't a picky eater. It just ate whatever was in front of it, and it had evolved naturally.
"You can speak?" Su Yu asked curiously, while he spoke in the Demon Clan's language, which was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The small kylin nodded. "That's right. Master, I want to go out and play."
Although it could speak, it didn't seem like its thoughts were clear.
"I'm now in a region filled with experts, and if you show yourself rashly, you might be seen through. I can only let you out at a special time, understand?" Su Yu spoke in the Demon Clan's language.
The small kylin pouted and moved its body playfully. "I want to go out! I want to go out!"
Su Yu was helpless, so he could only agree. "Fine, but not now. There aren't any restrictions in my residence, so I will let you out tomorrow."
It was only then that the small kylin was satisfied.
That night.
A commotion arose in the outer sanctum, as an unknown outer sanctum disciple had unexpectedly taken out twenty third-grade Primordial Chaos Vital Pills and was selling them wantonly at the price of seventy merit points.
Well-informed people quickly rushed over. A wealthy disciple even bought ten of them in one go and stored them away.
The other ten were bought by other people.
Some people, who came to know about it later, rubbed their hands and stamped their feet. They didn't lack merit points, and they just lacked elixirs.
At night, in a secret room.
Ruffian Long held a Primordial Chaos Vital Pill in his hands, while the woman sitting cross-legged in front of him was the inner sanctum disciple, Xue Qi.
Xue Qi closed her eyes and asked, "How is it? Did you manage to find any clues?"
Ruffian Long smiled apologetically. "Senior sister, you must be joking. Although I have good eyesight, how could I dare to show off in front of you?"
Xue Qi opened her eyes and glared at him. "I asked you to speak, so just speak."
Ruffian Long wore an embarrassed expression as he examined the elixir carefully. He then said in a grave voice, "I often buy and sell elixirs, so I don't know much about elixirs. However, I do know a thing or two about them. In my opinion, this elixir isn't produced by the Elixir Hall."
"What else?" Xue Qi asked calmly.
Ruffian Long continued, "The elixir is perfectly round, and it doesn't just show that the alchemist is experienced and skilled in controlling the flames and fusing the elixir. It also shows that the alchemist's alchemy techniques are quite brilliant. Such a round elixir's fragrance is rich, and it doesn't have any flaws. This is surely the result of a high-grade alchemy technique. "
When Xue Qi heard him, she nodded, then shook her head. "What you said is correct, but you didn't get to the main point."
Ruffian Long bowed and said, "I would like to hear the details."
As Xue Qi took the elixir, her charming expression disappeared, and it was replaced by a grave one. "This elixir's greatest characteristic is its ingredients. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that someone could purify an elixir to such a perfect degree. "
She then added, "Even an alchemy grandmaster would find it difficult to remove all of the ingredients' impurities. Even though it is possible in theory, it isn't practical, as many of the impurities have grown together with the ingredients, and it's impossible to remove them."
She then added, "As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like it was purified by someone, and it seems like it was done by an inhuman method."
Ruffian Long was quite confused. "Is there a magical treasure that can purify ingredients in this world?"
Xue Qi shook her head in response. "This is something that I can't understand. There are countless divine weapons in the world, but I have never heard of a magical treasure that can purify ingredients. Even if there were, the principle behind it would be very difficult to understand. This is why I'm inclined to believe that it was done by an alchemy grandmaster, who has reached the pinnacle of alchemy. It is rumored that some top-grade alchemy grandmasters can refine ninth-grade elixirs, which are also called limitless elixirs.
Ruffian Long sucked in a breath of cold air. "There is unexpectedly such an alchemy grandmaster behind this? Then, what should we do? Should we get in touch with this alchemy grandmaster? "
Xue Qi shook her head. "Such a person isn't someone we can get in touch with. However, you can try to get in touch with the person who sold the elixirs and ask him to hand them over to us."
Ruffian Long chuckled. "This is simple. Although the seller went through many difficulties and handed over the elixirs to an unknown lad to sell, he still couldn't hide it from me in the outer sanctum."
Xue Qi raised her brows. "Well? Who is it? "
"The Raging Flame Cabinet's Cabinet Master, Xue Lian." Ruffian Long said, "Naturally, that's because the Raging Flame Cabinet Mistress doesn't feel like hiding her identity. Thus, the sect turns a blind eye to this matter. She also doesn't mind it. That's why she was able to find out about it so easily."
Xue Qi's expression changed slightly. "How could it be her?"
After Xue Qi muttered to herself for a long while, her gaze flickered as she said, "Since it's her, I must go there personally. Otherwise, all of you will surely be able to deal with this woman."
Similarly, in another secret room.
A tall and sturdy man, who wore a barbed necklace around his neck, was respectfully standing behind a Level Eight Fairy Realm man.
"Brother Qingfeng, should we go and meet the elixir's owner?" They had also gotten a Primordial Chaos Vital Pill.
If Su Yu was here, he would surely recognize the Level Eight Fairy Realm man's back. This man was Shao Qingfeng, who had attacked him twice!
Shao Qingfeng's eyes lit up as he held the elixir. "Of course! Primordial Chaos Vital Pills are extremely rare, and if we can get the elixir's owner's permission, we will be able to monopolize them. We will get a great profit, and I believe that it will surely make the inner sanctum's seniors happy. "
"I will take care of it tomorrow."
..
The next morning, Su Yu went to the Raging Flame Cabinet once again.
The alluring Cabinet Master wore a faint smile as she brought him the twenty batches of ingredients. She also gave Su Yu the six hundred merit points she had earned the day before, after deducting her share and the cost.
"You didn't get a single point from the youth, did you?" The alluring Cabinet Master was in a good mood.
Su Yu wore a faint smile as he asked, "Did you really sell them for just sixty merit points?"
The alluring Cabinet Master's face stiffened slightly, but her smile became more pronounced as she said, "The market is always fluctuating, and some are high and some are low. I can't control them."
Su Yu had inquired about them, and he found out that the woman had sold all of them for seventy merit points. She would earn ten merit points for every pill she sold, which meant that twenty of them would be two hundred merit points. Moreover, if she added the two hundred merit points that Su Yu had given her, she would have earned four hundred merit points in one day.
It couldn't be denied that this woman had really profited greatly.
"Forget it, as long as you can guarantee that the lowest price is sixty merit points. As for the rest, it doesn't matter to me how much you sell them for." Su Yu didn't want to haggle over such a matter, so he entered the elixir production room and went into seclusion.
It was only after he entered the room that Su Yu felt a bit more secure, so he let the small kylin out.
After it went outside, the small kylin started jumping around excitedly.
Su Yu took out the elixir furnace and said, "Don't leave the secret room, as there is a seal here that can isolate all senses. Even if there is an Almighty Expert outside, it will be difficult for them to detect your existence. But, if you leave the secret room, it will be difficult for them to detect you."
The small kylin nodded its head blankly, while its big purple eyes looked curiously at Su Yu, who was fiddling with the elixir furnace and the ingredients. It then ran over to him and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"
Su Yu replied absent-mindedly, "Making elixirs."
"Making elixirs?" The small kylin got lost in its thoughts, then said, "I also want to make elixirs."
Su Yu was startled by this, but soon after, he found it quite funny. He then took out the Mysterious Heavenly Elixir Production Secret Technique and threw it at it. "Take it and read it quietly."
It would be strange if it could understand it, Su Yu thought inwardly. This was just a way for the small kylin to kill time, so that it wouldn't get bored and disturb Su Yu's elixir production.
The small kylin wagged its tail excitedly and ran to a corner with the scroll in its mouth. It then opened the scroll with its little hooves and spread it out on the ground.
Then, he lay in front of the scroll, his eyes wide open as he flipped through it with great interest.
When Su Yu took a look at it, he couldn't help but smack his lips. Could this little guy really understand human words?
Since time was limited, Su Yu didn't have any time to pay attention to it, so he immediately started making elixirs.
However, not long after he started making the elixirs, a commotion transmitted from outside the secret room.
A tall and sturdy man, who wore a barbed collar around his neck, was speaking to the alluring Cabinet Master in a deep voice. "Cabinet Master, I believe that you are aware of my status. There isn't any business in the outer sanctum's black market that my Shao family doesn't get involved in. I heard that you have a large number of Primordial Chaos Vital Pills for sale, so I boldly ask you to hand them over to us so that we can help you sell them."
The alluring Cabinet Master wasn't interested in him at all. "I have my own channels, so why should I hand them over to you? If you don't have anything else to say, you can leave now. "
The tall and sturdy man grinned. "Cabinet Master, you must be joking. Although you don't mind letting your superiors know that you joined the black market's trade, you still mind letting the Elixir Hall know about the existence of an alchemist, right? Once that alchemist is taken away by the Elixir Hall, we won't be able to get the Primordial Chaos Vital Pills, and you won't be able to either. "
Upon hearing this, the alluring Cabinet Master raised her eyes and looked at him. Her charming face was filled with coldness as she asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"Hehe, Cabinet Master, you are being too serious. I just want to do a business that will make both of us happy. Otherwise, we won't be able to get any benefits." The tall and sturdy young man chuckled strangely. He didn't take the Cabinet Master seriously.
The alluring Cabinet Master asked calmly, "You are talking to a Divine Master in such a manner. Do you think that you have a strong backer?"
The tall and sturdy young man said, "A Divine Master is indeed a high-ranking official in the outer sanctum, but he's just so-so in the inner sanctum. Cabinet Master, do you really want to offend the leaders of the black market in the inner sanctum?"
Upon hearing this, the alluring Cabinet Master squinted her eyes, but she surprisingly didn't retort.
The tall and sturdy young man said mockingly, "I don't care where you got those elixirs, and I just want your elixirs. I'll pay you 55 merit points each, and you can leave the rest to us. You won't suffer any losses. What do you think?"
"Nothing!" Suddenly, a strand of a cold and indifferent voice sounded out from outside the pavilion.
A woman and a man rushed into the pavilion one after the other.
The former was Xue Qi, while the latter was the sloppy Ruffian Long.
The tall and sturdy young man didn't recognize Xue Qi, but Ruffian Long did. They were both from the outer sanctum's black market, so how could they not recognize the famous Ruffian Long?
Fear appeared in the eyes of the tall and sturdy young man, and he scolded him, "Ruffian Long, I'm talking about proper business here. Don't you know the rules?"
Xue Qi furrowed her brows and looked at Ruffian Long. "What are you waiting for?"
"Hehe!" Ruffian Long laughed strangely and wore a faint smile as he looked at the tall and sturdy young man. "Er Hu, you still dare to bare your teeth in front of me? Do you think that you've become awe-inspiring after joining the Shao family? Have you forgotten the days when you were ordered around by me like a dog? "
Er Hu used to be Ruffian Long's subordinate, and when the Shao family had opened the black market in the outer sanctum, he had been the first to betray them and become the person in charge of the Shao family's black market in the outer sanctum.
"Who are you calling a dog?" Er Hu obviously didn't dare to admit defeat.
Slap!
However, when he had just finished speaking, a palm slapped him and sent him flying out of the pavilion.
Ruffian Long's power was much higher than Er Hu's, and many miserable screams echoed from outside.
Xue Qi looked at the alluring Cabinet Master and sighed helplessly. "Aunt, do you still want to stubbornly stay here? Even a small fry can bully you. So, come with me to the inner sanctum. "
The alluring Cabinet Master was unexpectedly Xue Qi's aunt!
It was at this moment that the miserable screams outside stopped, and they were replaced by Ruffian Long's angry roar, which was followed by a pained groan.
Swoosh!
At the same time, a person with blue tattoos rushed into the pavilion.
His gaze was sinister, and he wore an unkind expression.
"Shao Qingfeng?" The alluring Cabinet Master furrowed her brows. "Why did you come here?"
Shao Qingfeng clasped his hands behind his back. "I came to see the alchemist. Cabinet Master, please introduce me to him, or I can report him to the Elixir Hall."
The alluring Cabinet Master's gaze became ice-cold when she heard him threaten her. "Your Shao family's people really like to bully people intolerably."
Shao Qingfeng curled up the corners of his mouth and surveyed the surroundings. It was at this moment that Su Yu's elixir came out of the furnace, which emitted a fragrance.
"Hehe, there is no need for Cabinet Master, as I will invite the alchemist myself." Shao Qingfeng strode over.
The expressions of Xue Qi and the alluring Cabinet Master became tense, and they rushed over.
With a smile on his face, Shao Qingfeng put down his hands and cupped his fists. "Friend from the sect, I'm Shao Qingfeng. I hope to make a deal with you."
Xue Qi looked at him disdainfully. "I'm Xue Qi from the inner sanctum. I'm sorry for disturbing you while you were concocting elixirs."
In the private room, Su Yu's gaze became ice-cold. Shao Qingfeng? What gall, to actually come looking for trouble!
"What is it?" Su Yu asked coldly.
Shao Qingfeng was extraordinarily confident. "I represent the Shao Clan, and I hope to cooperate with you. In the future, you will be able to refine Primordial Chaos Vital Pills at a price of fifty-five merit points. This price is very reasonable. After all, the Elixir Hall only requires fifty merit points."
Xue Qi sneered. "The black market's starting price is 60 merit points, but the Shao family's price is 50 merit points? Ridiculous! Senior, why don't you hand over the pills to me? I guarantee that each pill will cost at least 60 merit points! Senior, please judge. "
The two of them were fighting over the elixir, but they had left the alluring Cabinet Master aside. If Su Yu handed the elixir to them, the alluring Cabinet Master would end up with nothing.
"Judgement? Sure. "Su Yu's eyes flickered with an ice-cold glint.
It turned out that Shao Qingfeng had a favor to ask of him. But, if one wanted to ask someone, one must have the proper attitude. Even though he was obviously bullying him, he still dared to boast about asking him for help.
The Shao Clan's moral conduct was really inherited from generation to generation.
Su Yu felt like he must let Shao Qingfeng know how to properly ask someone for help.
This person had plotted against him twice in a row, while Su Yu hid behind him and played dirty tricks. Now that he had finally shown himself, how could Su Yu let him off?
"Fifty-five merit points? Young master Shao, do you think that I don't understand the market, or do you think that only you can sell elixirs?" Su Yu feigned anger.
Shao Qingfeng smiled confidently. "It's because of our Shao Family's reputation."
"Shao Family's reputation?" Su Yu chuckled. "I never heard of it. I just heard that your family's test was recently exterminated by someone, and that the murderer is still getting away with it. If your cowardice is the reason why you are so proud of yourself, then I don't mind considering cooperating with your Shao Family."
Upon hearing this, the Shao Family's expression became gloomy. "Your Excellency, aren't you being too rude?"
"Humph!" Su Yu snorted coldly. "It's my freedom to speak however I want, and if you don't want to listen to me, then just get lost!"
Shao Qingfeng's face turned red and green as he was scolded. He could feel that Su Yu was extremely infuriated, and he knew that if he continued like this, he wouldn't be able to carry out this deal.
Shao Qingfeng suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice, "My friend, my words were inappropriate, and I hope that you can forgive me. But, since you think that the price is too low, then we can still discuss the price of sixty merit points."
Su Yu replied coldly, "If your Shao Family really wants to cooperate with us, then it isn't impossible for us to do so.
What? Both Xue Qi and the Yao Cabinet Master were startled by this.
Shao Qingfeng's expression relaxed. "My friend, please speak freely."
"It's quite simple. As long as you represent the Shao Family and help me lick my shoes clean, then I will agree to this deal," Su Yu said calmly.
