“hehe, just looking at long chen’s eyes, i know someone’s about to be out of luck.” tang wan-er covered her mouth and laughed upon seeing long chen’s expression.
“but of course. do they think they can cheat me out of my hard-earned money? speaking of which, how many points do we have now?” asked long chen.
“ten billion seven hundred thousand points,” said qing yu.
“that many?” long chen couldn’t help being surprised.
“if your bracelet didn’t max out, then our points would be several times greater,” said qing yu.
long chen suddenly recalled that the numerical value on his bracelet had stopped working in the battle. the xuan master had said that the dragonblood legion could buy things at half price in exchange.
however, long chen had refused him. he didn’t want to take advantage of him, and he also didn’t want to owe anyone favors.
in any case, he had enough points, so why be in debt to others? however, he had obtained a special tablet. that tablet granted him access to any training region in the entire xuantian dao sect free of charge. furthermore, there was no name on it. long chen could lend it to others to use.
currently, he had given it to guo ran, and he was using the best forging room now. inside, there were spirit stones he could use free of charge to power his forging table.
normally, using that top grade forging room cost a hundred thousand points a day. it was the most expensive of all the xuantian dao sect’s training rooms. giving the tablet to guo ran was the most efficient choice.
“although we don’t have your points, we are still first place amongst all the factions, and by a large margin at that. when the points were distributed, i saw that fan song, hu guishan, as well as that gao xianyang all had a greedy light in their eyes,” said tang wan-er proudly, but she quickly became furious. “i bet they came up with this plot to get our points.”
the alchemy pavilion was related to the law enforcement hall. that was no secret in the xuantian dao sect. furthermore, the divine beast mansion and hegemon hall had a reason for their actions.
in truth, just one pill was enough for a disciple, and two pills were already extra insurance. a second pill would increase the effect by fifty percent. as for the third and fourth pill, there wasn’t much increase in effect.
but no one could say for sure that there wouldn’t be the slightest increase in effect. so by buying two sets of the pills, they could just barely get by within the realm of logic.
with this excuse and their points, as well as the collusion of the alchemy pavilion, this trap had been formed seamlessly.
if the dragonblood legion wanted the nine-ring foundation building pills, they would have to buy them from the divine beast mansion and hegemon hall. that was also legal.
a single disciple would only sell two pills. that couldn’t count as selling a large amount of medicinal pills, so it didn’t infringe upon the rules. that was what made qing yu the most furious, while also helpless.
she had already prepared herself to be ripped off. she just hoped it wouldn’t be too bad.
“it’s fine, such a minor matter isn’t worth you worrying about. sister qing yu, i’ll handle it. i’ll go to the elder hall and recommend that the elder hall master go take a trip to see the tower department head.” long chen smiled.
now long chen was completely at ease. he directly told qing yu there was no longer any need to stall. but it seemed the other side had also received some news and was urgently trying to contact qing yu. however, qing yu never revealed herself to them again.
now, hu guishan and fan song were both a bit panicked. but they still had one strand of hope. they thought long chen was intentionally competing with them in terms of patience. he was hoping to get more bargaining chips to get a better price.
after all, refining nine-ring foundation building pills wasn’t something just anyone could do, especially not in those quantities. that was why they had been confident enough to follow through with this plan while investing so many points.
hu guishan and fan song were acting calm but filled with worry. they had spent one billion six hundred thousand points. that was the majority of the wealth of their factions.
while the two of them worried, long chen was in seclusion, about to start refining pills.
the pill he was refining was called the nine sea foundation building pill, and it was different from the xuantian dao sect’s foundation building pill. it had nine main ingredients and its effect was ten times greater than an ordinary foundation building pill. it was even better than the spirit immortal foundation building pill he had originally been planning on refining.
this was an ancient pill that had disappeared from the outside world. but long chen had long since made his preparations.
“little fellow, let’s get to work. we’ll take it easy for the first attempt,” said long chen to huo long. this was his first time refining an eighth tier pill, and he was refining an incredibly difficult one.
“hehe, the feeling of having money is truly good.” long chen took out an ancient cauldron that had runes carved all over it. it gave off a feeling of great age.
this was a top grade eighth-tier pill furnace he had bought for ten million points, and it was an inheritance pill furnace.
other treasures were more valuable the newer they were, but this pill furnace became more valuable with age. the more medicinal pills it refined, the higher its grade would grow.
pill furnaces were different from ordinary tools. their item-spirits were able to help during the refinement process, increasing the chances of successful refinement. furthermore, due to refining medicinal pills for countless years, the interior of the pill furnace would absorb the essence of all kinds of medicines. that allowed it to possess a kind of intimate energy with medicinal ingredients, which allowed it to refine their energy easier.
this was the most luxuriant pill furnace long chen had ever possessed. after playing with it for a while, he decided not to immediately start refining. he held the pill furnace against his chest and used his soul to nourish it. in the alchemy world, this was referred to as awakening the spirit. it was an ancient ceremony for accepting a master.
for alchemists, their pill furnaces were not just tools, but their companions. only through perfect communication was it possible to refine higher level pills.
buzz.
after an incense stick’s worth of time, the pill furnace’s runes slowly lit up, and a dense medicinal fragrance filled the air. long chen smiled.
the ten million points he had spent on it hadn’t been a waste. there was an ancient item-spirit within the pill furnace, and it had now accepted him as the master.
flames leaped into existence in his hand. he slowly sent them into the pill furnace, and its runes once more lit up. this time it was different. the runes were lighting up one by one, like spiritual yuan flowing through acupuncture points.
the pill furnace was the same. its runes might appear disordered, but they were carved in a set pattern. each time a rune lit up, the pill furnace would heat up a bit more.
when the final rune lit up, the entire pill furnace began to shake, and it was like it had come to life.
only now did the pill furnace fully wake from its slumber. long chen carefully increased the flame and poured in the medicinal powders he had already prepared. it was time to start his refinement.
