Chapter 379
Xiao Jinting stayed in his room and studied the transmission box.
Masters were roaming the streets in Sky City, and he could not afford to offend any of them. Besides, Xiao Jinting didn’t take to the crowded streets, and he stayed indoors.
It was said that Heaven Secrets Tribe were the most proficient weapon refiners, who made excellent masterpieces.
Xiao Jinting toyed with the transmission box in his hand with glinting eyes.
He could search all the treasures to be exchanged through the transmission box of Heaven Secret Pavilion. The wealth of Nascent Souls amazed Xiao Jinting, who was tempted by the treasures on the screen.
These days he had exchanged some pills refined with spiritual herbs of one thousand years for some rare spiritual herbs.
There was a knock on the door. Xiao Jinting opened the door and saw that it was Chen Lifeng. He hastily invited him aside.
“Don’t you go out for a stroll?” Chen Lifeng asked.
Xiao Jinting scratched his head and said, “No.”
Chen Lifeng looked at the alchemy furnace in the room and asked, “Do you know how to make pills?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “A little.”
“Recently, a top-notch alchemist sold a batch of pills at a low price through the transmission box. I don’t know why he did that.”
Xiao Jinting was surprised, “A top-notch alchemist?”
Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “Yes. He took out over thirty pills that help Nascent Souls with their cultivation. In the beginning, people didn’t buy them because they thought the pills were too cheap to be good.”
“Later on, a Nascent Soul was tempted by the Fire Cloud Dragon Pill, which didn’t seem to be fake from the image, and he bought one. He was surprised to find that the pill was good after he checked on it. He bought a few more and sold them to his friends,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
He blinked. Since he started selling the pills, no one had showed any interest. Therefore, he lowered the price, but no one came to buy them. One day, someone bought a Fire Cloud Dragon Pill from him. Ever since then, his pills had been selling well.
The pills that he put in the transmission box were gone once they were available for sales. In the past two days, he raised the price to test the water, and the business was still thriving.
“Are the pills sold by the alchemist very cheap?” asked Xiao Jinting tentatively.
Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “Yes, his pills are very cheap. It is said that his alchemy skills are superb. Many cultivators are waiting in front of the transmission boxes, eager to buy his pills.”
Xiao Jinting thought it was a big misunderstanding. He couldn’t sell the pills because they were so cheap that people thought they were fake. Later on, he lowered the price, which made the pills look more suspicious…
“Good alchemists are hard to get. Alchemists who can refine pills that could help with the improvement of Nascent Souls are rare, and they are arrogant, “Chen Lifeng sighed.
Xiao Jinting didn’t know what to say.
“Jinting, what kind of pills can you refine?” asked Chen Lifeng.
Xiao Jinting took out a handful of pills that could help with the cultivation of Golden Cores. Although Chen Lifeng wasn’t familiar with alchemy, he could tell the quality of the pills.
“Jinting, your alchemy is not bad. When you advance to Nascent Soul, you might reach the level of the mysterious alchemist,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly and said, “Thank you.”
Chen Lifeng frowned and said, “I wonder who the alchemist is. I heard that many forces want to recruit him.”
“Is that so?”
“I think there is something fishy about this alchemist,” said Chen Lifeng.
Xiao Jinting was confused, “What do you mean?”
“It takes a large amount of spiritual herbs to make a good alchemist, who generally relies on major forces. If this alchemist is supported by a major force, he should have handed in the pills to the force, who will sell them for him,” Chen Lifeng said in confusion.
Xiao Jinting thought that he should not continue to attract so much attention, or he would be targeted.
“Have you got anything good recently?” Chen Lifeng asked.
Xiao Jinting said awkwardly, “No, I can’t afford them. I could do nothing but stare at the rewards.”
Chen Lifeng patted Xiao Jinting on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. You’re only a Golden Core. When you advance to Nascent Soul, you will have more money.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Senior, you are right.” Compared to the wealth of Nascent Souls who had accumulated treasures for a thousand years, he was far poorer.
As Chen Lifeng and Xiao Jinting spoke, an alarm sounded in the transmission box.
Xiao Jinting’s heart sank, as Chen Lifeng looked at the box and frowned.
“Mr. Chen, what’s going on?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Chen Lifeng shook his head. “Someone has posted a top reward.”
“A top reward?” As Xiao Jinting spoke, a golden text appeared.
“Anyone who provides an Ice Marrow Pill will be rewarded with fifty top-grade spiritual stones, one Nascent Transformation Pill, one Nascent Soul Pill, one Wood Spirit Heart…” There was a long list of treasures, which dazed Xiao Jinting.
He looked at Chen Lifeng and asked sincerely, “Mr. Chen, do you know what the Ice Marrow Pill is?”
“It is an ancient pill. Although Physique of Ice is unstable, it’s a rare spiritual aptitude. This kind of physique is rare, but there have been quite some cultivators of this kind over the millions of years. Most of them died because of the physique, but there are always exceptions.”
“Is it because of Ice Marrow Pill?” asked Xiao Jinting.
