"Forty bottles of Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pills in ten days? That much?" After Ling Dong heard Yang Cheng's words, he sent his Divine Sense into the jade talisman. Even Ling Dong was slightly surprised.
Under normal circumstances, an alchemist below the Quasi Star Realm could only concoct two to three bottles of Spirit Gold Horse Pills in a day, and that was under the condition that they were concocting pills 24 hours a day.
Thus, refining forty bottles of Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pills in ten days was an impossible task for an ordinary Hua Xing Alchemist. Even for Ling Dong, he would need to give up a small portion of his cultivation time and spend the majority of his time on alchemy to be able to complete it.
Instinctively, Ling Dong felt that there was something wrong with this requirement.
"Seventy percent discount on the purchase price of ingredients? Thirty percent higher on the purchase price of Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pills? And a copy of Alchemist Kui Xing's alchemy manual? "This requirement made Ling Dong slightly surprised. However, the reward made Ling Dong even more surprised.
"What? A copy of Alchemist Kui Xing's alchemy manual? Isn't this reward too high? " Hearing this, Yang Cheng was very surprised and said, "Senior Brother Ling, I remember there was a Senior Brother Qing Yi who bought a copy of Alchemist Kui Xing's alchemy manual at an auction in Clear Ancient City. It was a copy, and it cost 500 Middle Spirit Crystals!"
"Yes, although the requirement is high, compared to the reward that Shopkeeper Yin gave, it's worth it. Furthermore, the pills are paid Reiki according to the price. That's a little strange! Even if I don't refine the pills, I can just buy forty bottles from the market at a high price. It's still profitable! "Ling Dong said doubtfully.
Hearing this, Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Ling, are you saying that Shopkeeper Yin has bad intentions?"
"Don't you think that the reward he gave is a bit like a treasure falling from the sky?" At this point, Ling Dong's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Junior Brother Yang, tell me the details of your visit to Wan Quan Hall today!"
In the face of Ling Dong's questioning, Yang Cheng carefully recalled what had happened and told Ling Dong the details of his trip to Wanquan Hall.
"That Shopkeeper Yin wanted to test my alchemy ability?" After listening to Yang Cheng's narration, Ling Dong came to such a surprising conclusion.
Ling Dong didn't understand what Shopkeeper Yin was trying to do. No matter how fast Ling Dong's alchemy speed was, it had nothing to do with Shopkeeper Yin's Reiki. At most, he would refine a few more cauldrons of pills for him. Was there a need to pay such a high price?
"Senior Brother Ling, why don't we directly reject that old bastard and say that we can't complete this mission?" Yang Cheng directly suggested when he saw Ling Dong's frown.
"No!" Ling Dong shook his head, "I really want to know what this Shopkeeper Yin is trying to do." Seeing that Yang Cheng still wanted to persuade him, Ling Dong said again, "Junior Brother Yang, you go and cultivate first. I will handle this matter appropriately."
Yang Cheng wanted to persuade Ling Dong to do something, but seeing Ling Dong's confident appearance, he didn't say anything.
In these ten days, Ling Dong still cultivated and refined pills every day. The only difference was that his alchemy time had increased by two hours.
Although Ling Dong had refined two cauldrons of Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pills a day to sell, Ling Dong and Yang Cheng had taken the Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pills. Ling Dong's standard daily output was three cauldrons.
Now, in order to complete Shopkeeper Yin's request, Ling Dong had to increase his alchemy time by two hours every day.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Junior Brother Yang, ten days have passed. I will personally make a trip to the Wan Quan Hall. You can cultivate in the Spiritual Academy." Before leaving, Ling Dong informed Yang Cheng.
"Senior Brother Ling, since that Shopkeeper Yin might be up to no good, then it's better for me to accompany you," Yang Cheng said worriedly.
Ling Dong rejected Yang Cheng's good intentions, "Junior Brother Yang, since that Shopkeeper Yin is testing my alchemy ability, I'm afraid that his scheme is related to alchemy. There's no danger in terms of safety. Furthermore, even if that Shopkeeper Yin wants to scheme against me, you staying in the Spiritual Academy will make him hesitate. After all, with you here, if anything happens to me, I can inform the Sect at any time to make things difficult for him! "
Ling Dong's words weren't spoken without thinking, but after careful consideration. A powerful Sect was definitely the strongest backing behind a cultivator.
"That's true. However, Senior Brother Ling, you have to be careful. I feel that Shopkeeper Yin is up to no good." Yang Cheng advised.
While nodding, Ling Dong's body surged with azure aura as he shot into the sky like an arrow, heading straight for Pristine Ancient City under the Spiritual Mountain Range.
While he was in the air, Ling Dong's eyes weren't idle. With a slight glance, he discovered that not far away, there was a blue rainbow rushing towards the Spiritual Mountain Range that Ling Dong was in.
Ling Dong didn't pay much attention to it at first. In Pristine Ancient City, there were too many cultivators flying up and down. However, when the blue rainbow suddenly made a turn and flew straight towards him, it made Ling Dong instantly vigilant.
"Haha, Junior Brother Ling, I've finally caught you. You've made it so difficult for me to find you!" While Ling Dong was puzzled, the blue rainbow suddenly stopped in front of Ling Dong and burst out with joy.
"Senior Brother Shang?" When he saw the appearance of the cultivator who had suddenly stopped beside him, Ling Dong was slightly surprised, but he still cupped his hands in greeting.
"Junior Brother Ling, are you surprised? I knew you came to Pristine Ancient City and wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect my luck to be so good. It's only been a few days, but I've already found you! "Shang Luoxu's Senior Brother said happily.
Ling Dong was puzzled, "Senior Brother Shang, are you looking for me for something?" In Ling Dong's memory, he had only met Senior Brother Shang once. He had even earned a huge sum of money from Senior Brother Shang. Other than that, there was no other interaction between them.
"Of course there's something, and it's good news!"
Shang Luoxu smiled mysteriously at Ling Dong, but he wasn't in a hurry to speak. Instead, he pulled Ling Dong and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go, Junior Brother Ling. Let's find a place to sit. Then, I'll slowly tell you about this matter."
This Senior Brother Shang was very friendly. In just a few sentences, he was very friendly with Ling Dong. People who didn't know would think that they were old friends.
It had to be said that Ling Dong had a good impression of Shang Luoxu's Senior Brother Shang. Without mentioning anything else, Shang Luoxu's straightforwardness was enough to win the favor of most cultivators.
For example, in the famous Hidden Cloud Teahouse in Qinggu City, Ling Dong and Yang Cheng only dared to sit in the main hall and order a pot of the most basic calming and refreshing Thousand Leaves Drink. A pot of ten low-grade Reiki was already considered a bit extravagant.
However, Shang Luoxu directly entered the Hidden Teahouse and ordered a pot of Ling Yun Green that cost ten mid-grade Reiki. Coupled with a few plates of extremely good looking tea and snacks made of extremely rare ingredients, he casually sat down and ate more than ten mid-grade Reiki.
"Junior Brother, I learned from the sect's records that you came to Qinggu City, so I came to try my luck. I didn't expect to really catch you." Unknowingly, Shang Luoxu's way of addressing Ling Dong had become even closer, even dropping his surname.
"Uh … Senior Brother Shang, you still haven't told me why you're looking for me?" Ling Dong asked.
"Treasure hunting!" Shang Luoxu's answer to Ling Dong was extremely direct.
Ling Dong was a little stunned. He didn't understand. Shang Luoxu's cultivation was around the eighth or ninth level of the Star Transformation Realm, while Ling Dong's cultivation was only at the second level of the Star Transformation Realm. It could be said that the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Similarly, the cultivation of the martial artists surrounding Shang Luoxu was definitely around the eighth or ninth level of the Star Transformation Realm. Even if Shang Luoxu was short on manpower, no matter how short he was, he wouldn't have come to Ling Dong.
Seeing Ling Dong's puzzled appearance, Shang Luoxu seemed to have seen through Ling Dong's worries and directly asked, "Junior Brother, are you wondering why I would look for you when there are so many senior brothers with higher cultivation than you?"
Hearing Shang Luoxu directly ask what he was thinking, Ling Dong was surprised, but he still nodded.
"That's right. Junior Brother, you have such a cautious attitude, which is even more in line with my requirements. To be honest, with your cultivation, you really aren't qualified to join my treasure hunting team.
However, cultivation doesn't represent battle prowess. Junior Brother, that day when you fought with Guan Minghua, the power of the acquired spiritual fire has shocked me to this day. Of course, the reason why I came to you to search for treasures is not because of your powerful fighting strength, but because of your Acquired Spiritual Fire. It has an extremely special effect in our treasure hunting grounds! "
"Extremely special effect? What do you mean?" Ling Dong asked curiously.
"It's like this. The treasure hunting ground we plan is divided into three areas: the outer area, the inner area, and the core area! Although the outer area is full of danger, it's relatively simple. Every year, countless martial artists go there to search for treasures, but after so many years of exploration, it's extremely difficult to find any gains.
Our target, the inner area, is because an extremely powerful and special existence once died there. Not only is there dense cold air, but there's also an extremely perverted cold spirit wreaking havoc there. Even if a Quasi Star Realm martial artist is entangled by the cold spirit, if he's not careful, he'll also die!
Because of this, very few martial artists can explore the inner area, but the probability of finding treasures is very high, "Shang Luoxu said.
"But what does this have to do with me?" When Ling Dong asked this, he had already guessed Shang Luoxu's general meaning.
"Of course it has to do with you. According to my sources, Junior Brother's acquired spiritual fire is the nemesis of the cold spirit. With Junior Brother, we can go deep into the inner area to search for treasures, and I believe we'll definitely find something.
It's said that someone once found powerful Universal Spiritual Weapons in the inner area, and there's more than one! "Shang Luoxu said.
"What? Can actually find powerful Universal Spiritual Weapons? Senior Brother Shang, what is the treasure hunting ground you're talking about? "Ling Dong asked in surprise.
"Star Devil Ruins!"
Hearing these four words, Ling Dong's body trembled slightly, revealing an extremely curious expression, "Star Devil Ruins?" This was the second time Ling Dong had heard something related to Star Demons.
