Alliance Deputy Master Liu recalled and said, "According to Alliance Master Zhou's three granddaughters, they asked the saleswoman of that elixir store. She seems to be the shopkeeper of the Tonglin Elixir Store. I don't know his full name. I only know that his surname is Su."
"After you go there, you can ask about it in detail. Remember to be polite. In the future, Alliance Master Zhou will personally thank you. If you leave a bad impression and Alliance Master Zhou asks about it, it won't be good. The Elixir Alliance doesn't lack elixir dealers. There are many people who can replace you," Alliance Deputy Master Liu warned him again.
Suddenly, Alliance Deputy Master Liu noticed that Bright Moon Householder's expression was strange. It seemed like he was crying, but it also seemed like he was smiling. His face was alternating between blue and white, which was quite strange.
"What? You don't want to? You don't want to pay for a few elixirs? " Alliance Deputy Master Liu's face darkened. He was a little displeased and confused. Bright Moon Householder was a smart and capable man. Why couldn't he give up on such a small profit?
Bright Moon Householder showed a smile that was even uglier than his crying face. "Alliance Deputy Master Liu, why didn't you come earlier?"
There were more than ten shopkeepers with the surname Su in the elixir stores in the outer city.
However, there was only one Shopkeeper Su in the Tonglin Elixir Store — Su Yuxian!
He was still in the crowd and hadn't left yet!
"Humph! You don't want to?" Alliance Deputy Master Liu squinted his eyes.
Bright Moon Householder wanted to die at this moment. Why did it have to be Su Yuxian? How could it be so coincidental?
Bright Moon Householder didn't know what to say.
Alliance Deputy Master Liu's face darkened. He had thought that this was a small matter that could be done by giving orders. He didn't expect that Bright Moon Householder wouldn't give him face in front of so many people.
"If you don't want to do it, forget it! I have plenty of people to find!" Alliance Deputy Master Liu was thoroughly angry. It was difficult to find alchemists, but it was easier to find elixir dealers!
The reason why Bright Moon Householder could become one of the three great elixir dealers was that he had relied on his connections to get elixirs from the Elixir Alliance. Of course, Alliance Deputy Master Liu could also get a commission.
If he wanted to replace him, it would be easy for him. However, he didn't want to be too troublesome and didn't want to change people frequently.
Since Bright Moon Householder didn't know how to appreciate his kindness and offended him, he decided to meet the fourth ranked elixir seller and ask him to take over Bright Moon Householder's position. He wouldn't suffer any loss.
With that, Vice Alliance Master Liu flicked his sleeves and left.
Bright Moon Householder looked as if he had lost his parents, and he said hurriedly, "Wait! It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!"
He had said the same thing to Su Yu before, but at that time, he had said it in a sarcastic tone. Now, he was wearing a long face.
Vice Alliance Master Liu frowned. "Speak clearly!"
He also felt that Bright Moon Householder was behaving strangely today, and he felt that something was not quite right.
Since things had already come to this, Bright Moon Householder had no choice but to tell him everything.
When he found out that he had just chased Su Yu away, he couldn't help but be stunned. What kind of coincidence is this?
Bright Moon Householder gave a brief account of what had happened. However, he still covered up his ugly face, and when Vice Alliance Master Liu heard it, it seemed like Su Yu was just making trouble for no reason.
However, Vice Alliance Master Liu was a shrewd old man, and he had experienced many worldly affairs. So, how could he not discern the flaws in Bright Moon Householder's words? He said coldly, "A low-grade elixir store's shopkeeper came to bully a supplier's servant for no reason. Humph! Bright Moon, do you think that I'm muddle-headed? It seems to me like you just wanted to curry favor with Fei, so you took the initiative to make things difficult for him. "
Vice Alliance Master Liu's words hit the nail on the head, and he had already guessed most of what had happened.
Bright Moon Householder's face turned pale, and he didn't reply. He was now filled with remorse.
If he had just followed Great Shopkeeper Fei's instructions and didn't supply any elixirs, he could have just found a random reason to refuse Su Yu's request. But, he had done something superfluous and offended Su Yu many times. In the end, he even wanted to teach Su Yu a lesson, which provoked his two Divine Master guards to attack him.
So, how could he salvage the situation?
"I don't care about your grudges with him, but if you implicate me, then you don't need to come to the Elixir Alliance to look for me in the future," Vice Alliance Master Liu said coldly.
His unspoken implication was that he wanted Bright Moon Householder to deal with this matter by himself. If he could resolve the conflict between the two sides, Vice Alliance Master Liu wouldn't meddle in this matter any longer. But, if he couldn't resolve this matter, then he would have to replace Bright Moon Householder in advance to prevent Su Yu from speaking ill of Bright Moon Householder in front of Alliance Master Zhou.
Upon hearing this, Bright Moon Householder's whole body shivered, and he didn't dare to blame anyone else.
"Yes, I will immediately go and apologize to you …" Bright Moon Householder said hurriedly.
However, an apathetic voice transmitted from the crowd. "Lord Bright Moon, you don't need to trouble me, as I don't want to beg you to give me elixirs. So, you should just keep them for yourself."
A moment ago, Bright Moon Householder had mocked Su Yu, telling him not to beg him to sell him elixirs when he couldn't hold on any longer.
When Vice Alliance Master Liu arrived, Su Yu still hadn't walked far, and he heard their conversation clearly. He was quite surprised by this, as he couldn't believe that the Elixir Alliance's Alliance Master Zhou's three granddaughters were among the several young girls who were saved by Ying Luan.
This matter was quite unexpected!
As for Bright Moon Householder, Su Yu didn't want to pay any attention to such a person.
If Bright Moon Householder refused to supply Su Yu because of Great Shopkeeper Fei's threat, Su Yu would understand him, and he wouldn't make things difficult for him.
However, what was laughable was that Bright Moon Householder still wanted to act like a loyal hound and teach Su Yu a lesson on Great Shopkeeper Fei's behalf. After all, Su Yu didn't want to pay attention to such a disgusting person who flattered him. Even if Bright Moon Householder gave him elixirs for free, Su Yu would still feel uncomfortable about it, and he surely didn't want to have any relations with such a person.
Bright Moon Householder's face turned pale, and a pleading look appeared in his eyes. He cupped his fists at Su Yu and said, "Shopkeeper Su, please spare me. I had eyes, but I didn't recognize you, so please don't take this matter to heart."
His unspoken implication was that he was begging Su Yu to accept the elixirs.
Bright Moon Householder's words had come true, but he was the one who was begging Su Yu to accept the elixirs, and it wasn't Su Yu who was begging him for them.
"Lord Bright Moon, I don't dare to curry favor with you. Farewell." Su Yu turned around and left while being escorted by two Almighty Divine Masters.
Alliance Deputy Master Liu, who witnessed all of this, was astonished. The shopkeeper, who had saved Alliance Master Zhou's three granddaughters, was among the crowd!
Upon witnessing their conflict, Alliance Deputy Master Liu's expression became ice-cold. "Bright Moon Householder, you don't need to come to the Elixir Alliance to look for me in the future. You should look for someone else!"
He raised his voice on purpose so that everyone could hear him, including Su Yu. He wanted to sever all relations with Bright Moon Householder.
After he spoke, Alliance Deputy Master Liu flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Bright Moon Householder, who had lost all of his face.
On this day, everyone knew that the famous elixir dealer, Bright Moon Householder, had been stripped of his qualifications.
Even though he was acquainted with other alchemists in the Elixir Alliance, which alchemist would dare to go against a Deputy Master and continue befriending him?
His elixir dealer career had come to an end here.
If he could choose to start all over again, he wouldn't have done such a thing. But, it was a pity that he didn't have a second chance.
After Su Yu went back to the Tonglin Elixir Store, he said to the two Almighty Divine Masters behind him, "Seniors, many thanks."
They both revealed faint smiles and went into hiding. Once Su Yu was in danger, they would show themselves once again.
As Su Yu entered the elixir store, he furrowed his brows slightly. How can I refine the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid while being monitored by two Almighty Divine Masters?
Once people found out that he could recover the lost ancient elixir liquid, he would surely be plagued by troubles.
After Su Yu went back to his room, he immediately went into secluded meditation to comprehend the Five Elements Mysteries Art. After a whole night of secluded meditation, Su Yu managed to master three more Demon Clan's characters.
Now that Su Yu had managed to master seven characters, his comprehension of the universe's five elements had become more profound. He could gather the five elements with just a single thought.
This was especially the case for his comprehension of fire. It was unknown whether it was because Su Yu had a wisp of tribulation fire in his body, but his comprehension of it had become more profound.
If Su Yu started making elixirs now, he would be able to control the flames more smoothly.
Su Yu's cultivation of the Five Elements Mysteries Art was quite smooth, but he could clearly feel that his soul power had become weaker during the cultivation process.
Su Yu's expression couldn't help but become gloomy. The curse of being haunted by evil spirits was, after all, a hidden danger. If he didn't get rid of it in time, it would have a grave impact on his soul.
Su Yu stood up. It was already dawn, but Ying Luan and Qing Liu, who were outside the room, had nothing to do. They were just looking at the empty elixir store.
"Shopkeeper Su, why don't I find a way to look for some elixirs in the black market to make up the numbers? Otherwise, if someone reports you, you will be fired," Ying Luan said after giving it some thought. It was rare for her to come across such a good shopkeeper, so she didn't want to lose him.
Su Yu revealed a faint smile. "There is no need for that. I already found the source of the elixirs yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Qing Liu and Ying Luan heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance. Delight appeared on their faces.
"It's good that I need to go out for a while, so you should just wait in the elixir store. Someone should come to deliver the elixirs today," Su Yu said. He wanted to look for some ancient books in Tianya City to learn more about curses.
He also wanted to investigate the Fire Essence Jade's true use.
Of course, there was still the extremely important Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone. Since it was coveted by the Evil God, it was surely a miraculous treasure.
Qing Liu asked hesitantly, "But, the shopkeeper isn't here, so how can we pay for it?"
"You don't need to pay for it. Even if you give it to them, they won't accept it." Su Yu waved his hand at them and swaggered away, leaving the two dumbstruck people behind.
The Bright Moon Householder's affair had been fermented for a whole night, so everyone should have heard about it by now.
Everyone knew the reason why he had ended up in such a predicament. At this moment, any smart elixir seller knew that they should curry favor with Su Yu. As long as Su Yu could put in a good word for him in front of the future Alliance Master Zhou, they would get more benefits than just a few free elixirs!
The smart elixir sellers surely wouldn't miss out on such a good deal.
After Su Yu left the elixir store, he went to Tianya City's largest ancient book store.
The books in the store didn't contain ancient cultivation techniques. Instead, they contained books that introduced the ancient era's culture and helped people understand the ancient era's civilization.
Most of these books were copied, but only a small part of them were authentic works from the ancient era.
Therefore, there would always be many people who would choose to come here to read the authentic ancient books from the ancient times, hoping to discover hidden ancient cultivation techniques and the like. Unfortunately, all of them returned empty-handed.
Since these authentic ancient books could be openly displayed in the shop, it meant that the owner of the bookstore had already read them thousands of times. If there were really secrets, would it be the turn of an outsider?
Su Yu went to the largest ancient book store in Tianya City, where he was looking for all kinds of ancient books.
What he wanted to know about the curse, the Fire Essence Jade, and the Sacred Blood Soul Nourishing Stone could be found here.
However, before he entered the bookstore, he saw a petite figure crawling in and out of the bookstore. She seemed to be looking for something.
"Little demoness?" Su Yu clicked his tongue. Why did I run into this two-faced loli again?
She actually calmed down to look for ancient books instead of plotting to trick people?
