"Shopkeeper, let's complete this transaction first. It's not too late to talk about other things." Liu Ming said noncommittally when he heard the words.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The man in black clothes realized that he had lost his composure. After an awkward smile, he immediately closed the jade box on the table, then he got up and walked out of the elegant room.
After about ten minutes, the bat man walked in again with a smile on his face. He was holding a gray wooden box of a few feet in size in his hand.
He put the wooden box on the table, tapped it lightly with his slender fingers, and a blood-red gas went into the jade box. The jade box popped open, and the fifteen green fruits inside exuded a faint green light.
For Liu Ming, who had seen countless green condensing fruits, he just scanned with Divine Thought to confirm the maturity of these green condensing fruits. Then, he stroked it with one hand, and the wooden box was kept into the Sumeru Snail at his waist.
"Shopkeeper, I still have something to do, so I will leave first. As for the higher grade elixir, I will consider it." Liu Ming said faintly.
Liu Ming wanted to be vague. He never thought of revealing that there was a higher grade elixir, but after thinking about it, this earth grade elixir must be sold somewhere, and this bat man shop was indeed a good trading partner. Moreover, he was really interested in this thousand years green condensing fruit.
"Take care. If you come to this shop again next time, just look for me directly." After the bat man put away the jade box with the cold condensing pill on the table, he said with a smile on his face, then he accompanied Liu Ming downstairs.
Liu Ming didn't stay long. As soon as he left the shop, he strode away and disappeared in the crowded street the next moment.
In the remaining time, he transformed into a dozen different people. He used all the spirit stones in his hands to collect a large number of other auxiliary materials needed for alchemy and some Condensation Period golden yuan beast essence cores, then he returned to the Bai Lian Pavilion.
For a period of time after that, except for going downstairs to check the shop when necessary, he stayed in the secret room on the third floor most of the time. While continuing to practice the two Sword Cultivator magical powers, he continued to refine the two elixirs intermittently.
After more than two months, he finally finished refining a large number of materials.
This time, he refined more than a hundred Condensed Pills in one go. Among them, there were more than thirty Common Grade Pills and four Earth Grade Pills.
In addition, there were more than ten Golden Elemental Pills and a Mortal Grade Pill.
The reason why he could get so many flawless grade elixirs at once was obviously related to the fact that the green condensing fruit used in this alchemy was the main material of four to five hundred years. The quality of the elixirs refined was naturally greatly improved.
After some consideration, he divided the ordinary quality cold condensing pills in his hand into several batches and sold them to many elixir shops in the market, leaving only more than 20 ordinary elixirs for his own use.
As for those flawless cold condensing pills, Liu Ming kept all of them after consideration.
Although he had been very cautious, the appearance of so many cold condensing pills still caused a commotion in a huge market like Changyang Market.
Although there were many elixir shops in the market, for those who really wanted to know the quantity and origin of various elixirs in the market, they had a general idea in their hearts. Any slight movement could attract the attention of some forces, not to mention a large number of cold condensing pills of unknown origin.
Now even the slowest person knew that there might be a real alchemy master who was good at refining cold condensing pills in the market.
As an unorthodox elixir that could increase spiritual power, many forces were naturally interested in this alchemy master. They began to secretly send people to investigate.
In the bustling area near the northeast corner of Changyang Market, there was a street shop that was more than a hundred meters long.
The exterior decoration of the shop was gorgeous and grand. The red lacquer door was bright and clean. In the middle of the shop entrance, there was a large mahogany plaque with "Haoran Medicine Shop" written in red paint.
This was an elixir shop opened by the Haoran Academy in the market. It was richer than the Bai Lian Pavilion of the Taiqing Gate.
In a hall of Haoran Medicine Shop, the space was not big, but the furniture and decoration inside revealed a kind of antique atmosphere. It seemed to have existed for a long time.
In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in a scholar robe was sitting, playing with a small white jade carved vase in his hand.
If Liu Ming was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the middle-aged scholar from the Haoran Academy whom he met in the spirit beast shop a few days ago.
The young scholar was standing quietly on the side at the moment. In addition, there was an old man with white hair, reporting something to the middle-aged scholar with a respectful look.
"Shopkeeper Xu, so to speak, the person who came here to sell cold condensing pills at that time was a middle-aged man in a gray robe." After thinking for a while, the middle-aged scholar suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Yes. Because it is a rare elixir like cold condensing pills, I personally received the transaction at that time. The person asked for a private transaction, so I couldn't ask him about the source of the elixir. After the transaction was completed, the person left quickly. "The old man with white hair replied respectfully.
"Does that middle-aged man have any characteristics?" The middle-aged scholar frowned slightly.
"That person is about forty years old. His figure and appearance are very ordinary. His cultivation is only at the Condensation Period. As for his specific realm, I can't see it without fighting." Shopkeeper Xu recalled and said.
Seeing that the middle-aged scholar didn't speak for a while, Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a while and continued,
"I have already sent someone to investigate. The number of cold condensing pills that appeared this time is about two hundred. They are scattered in eight shops. Moreover, according to our informants, the person selling elixir in each shop is not the same person. There are old and young people. Almost every time, it is a new face. "
"It seems that the alchemy master is very careful. He doesn't want to attract attention, so he sends a different person every time, or there is always only one person, but that person is constantly changing his appearance." The middle-aged scholar speculated after a little hesitation.
"What Elder Bai said is correct. Many people also think the same way." Shopkeeper Xu flattered without leaving a trace and said with a smile.
The middle-aged scholar glanced at Shopkeeper Xu. Although he didn't say it, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He enjoyed this clever compliment very much.
This middle-aged scholar was a Crystallization Period elder sent by the Haoran Academy here. He was also the master's uncle of the young scholar next to him.
The young scholar was the disciple in charge of the Haoran Medicine Shop here, so it was no wonder that Shopkeeper Xu was so respectful.
"Master's Junior, could it be that the alchemy master changed his appearance and sold these cold condensing pills personally?" The young scholar who had been standing quietly by the side suddenly interjected.
"It shouldn't be. The identity of the alchemy master who can refine cold condensing pills is not ordinary. It is unlikely for him to do these small things of selling personally. Those people or just one person should be the alchemy master's subordinates or followers. "The middle-aged scholar shook his head.
The young scholar nodded when he heard the words, and he stopped talking.
"No matter what, our Haoran Academy must try its best to win over this alchemy master. If it succeeds, it will be regarded as a great contribution to the academy. The higher-ups will not hesitate to reward him. Shopkeeper Xu, if someone comes here to sell cold condensing pills again, you must try to keep him here, and then quickly inform me. "The middle-aged scholar instructed in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, I will give the order." Shopkeeper Xu bowed and nodded to the young Confucian scholar. Then, he quickly walked out.
…
On the southwest side of Changyang Market, in the largest Bat Clan shop, a conversation was also going on.
"Fu Min, two months ago, you sent a letter saying that you bought several cold condensing pills from a mysterious person, and they are extremely rare pellet grade elixirs. After several elders in the clan saw the elixirs, they attached great importance to it. Elder Fu Li even praised you at the elders meeting. " The person who spoke was a beautiful young woman with an exquisite figure. She was sitting on a chair in the secret room on the top floor of the shop. Her every move was flirtatious and extremely fascinating.
"As a member of the clan, these are all things that I should do. Elder Fu Li and Madam Wan have overpraised me." In front of the beautiful young woman, a man in black clothes stood there respectfully. He was the shopkeeper in black clothes who previously used the 500-year-old green condensing fruit to exchange for Liu Ming's elixir.
"But I heard that a large number of cold condensing pills have appeared in the market recently. Is it also from the mysterious person?" The beautiful young woman said.
"Reporting to Madam Wan, it should be so. This time, there are more cold condensing pills, and the person also sold some in our shop. "The shopkeeper in black clothes said, taking out two jade boxes.
"Are there any flawless grade elixirs?" The beautiful young woman took a jade box and found that there were ten round cold condensing pills in it, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
"No, they are all ordinary quality elixirs." The shopkeeper in black clothes said with a wry smile.
The beautiful young woman's face suddenly showed a disappointed expression. She picked up a cold condensing pill, put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully, then she said,
"The purity of these elixirs is not low. They are far above the ordinary Condensation Period elixir. It seems that the person who refined the cold condensing pill is a real alchemy master."
"Madam Wan is right. The 20 cold condensing pills we purchased this time are all ordinary elixirs with 60% to 70% purity. They are only one step away from flawless grade." The shopkeeper in black clothes said so.
"Fu Min, you received the mysterious person twice. Did you inquire about the alchemy master behind this person?" The beautiful young woman closed the jade box and asked after a slight hesitation.
"That person is very strict. He was very cautious when he came to sell elixirs twice. He didn't mention the origin of the elixir. I was also afraid of annoying this person, so I didn't dare to ask more." The shopkeeper in black clothes shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"En, you are cautious. This is very good." The beautiful young woman nodded.
"However, this cold condensing pill is related to a major event in the clan. Elder Fu Li specially instructed that if this person comes again next time, we must ask if he has earth grade elixir in his hand, or if the alchemy master behind him can refine the earth grade cold condensing pill."
"If that person doesn't want to say more, and we push too hard, will we offend the alchemy master?" The shopkeeper in black clothes said with some worry.
"You don't have to worry about this. I brought some thousand years old green condensing fruit with me this time. I believe it can calm the anger of the alchemy master." The beautiful young woman said confidently.
"Yes, I understand." The shopkeeper in black clothes said solemnly.
