BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 Cooking Up A Story
The disciples scrambled to leave the room. They left me alone with the old man.
"Don\'t tell me! Your master is the reclusive Pill Saint, Mu Tian!" the old man speculated.
My mouth curled up into a smile. He bit the bait. Now, all that I had to do was unravel a story out of this.
"Do you know how displeased my master will be with this? You should hope that the people outside do not have a loud mouth. Or else, I am not sure how much longer their mouths will run." I said with an arrogant look.
"This is truly astonishing. I have no intention of offending the Pill Saint. It is my honor to help him out. I shall make sure that none of these stupid Alchemy Disciples even dare to open their mouth about this." the old man said.
"Good. Now then, what about my pill badge? That is what I came here for, isn\'t it?" I asked.
"I am afraid that it will take a few days. The badge has to be registered to you, so that you can be the sole user of that badge. May I have your name please? I can complete thei registration as fast as possible and get this to you in two days at best." he said.
"The name is Liu Feng. And do not worry. I will be here for a long time. The tower has been locked down for five days, has it not? I have no choice but to be here, and I have no intention of using master\'s name however I please." I said.
"Liu Feng? I shall make sure that it is done as fast as possible, young master. You can collect it at the reception desk on the first floor by telling them your name," the old man bowed down and he looked at the door.
"Don\'t worry. I will leave. Take care of the crowd and make sure that no one speaks of this outside." I said with a menacing tone.
I left the room and looked at the crowd. They all looked at me with interest in their eyes. The deafening sound of their discussions trickled down into whispers. They all looked at me like I was going to gobble them up.
I shrugged as I kept walking away. I was done here now.
"Everyone, get back into the room now. Your test is far from over!" the old man came out of the room and shouted. The crowd shuffled and walked into the room again. With this, I smiled. Everything was going according to plan.
I stretched my arms and headed to the stairs.
"Esteemed guest? You are done already? Has the instructor been strict this year? He has been known to make the participants of the two leaf clover test synthesize extremely difficult pills. There is no shame in trying later." Hulong Tuyu, who was walking around, gave a smile.
"Yeah, sure. I failed. He made me make the Foundation tempering Pills. They are almost impossible to make. On another note, what do I do when I have a pill that I have and want to sell? A few months ago, I received a Foundation Tempering pill, and wish to sell it. I am in the Core Formation Stage, and I have no need for the pill." I said.
"That is a true pity. It is advised that every cultivator takes a Foundation Tempering Pill once to temper and strengthen his foundation so that he can become stronger in the future." Hulong Tuyu said.
"Allright. Now how much does each pill go for?"
"It is dependent on the appraisal. As an aspiring alchemist, you must be aware that every step effects the efficacy of the pill. So that means that a better alchemist will make a better pill. But the general range of a batch of Foundation Tempering Pills is from three to ten million spirit coins. And they are rare, so they only go for that price in auctions." he said.
"Good, good. I should get that much. Where do I submit them?" I asked.
"I am terribly sorry, but the Pill tower does not accept any pills from outsiders. It only accepts pills that are synthesized by alchemists from pill tower, those who have a certified badge. This is what incentivizes alchemists to join the tower in the first place." Hulong Tuyu said.
"Alright then. Take me to one of your rooms. I have nothing to do now for the next few days. Might as well cultivate in peace." I sighed.
"I shall do that. Please follow me. Do you wish to have a cultivation room? There are a few remaining. Surprisingly, not everyone has decided to avail a cultivation room." Hulong Tuyu said.
"Alright. I\'ll take one." I said.
"Do you have a Low ranked spirit stone, or do you wish to procure one from the Pill Tower?"
"I am sorry, say what now? A spirit stone? Yes, that is the milky white stone that you used. I assume that there is Qi compressed within it. Well, get this in your head. Your Pill Tower is holding me hostage. I will absolutely destroy you if you want me to pay for my own accommodations. Shut up and get me a spirit stone for free." I growled as I let my Qi run rampant.
It started crushing down on Hulong Tuyu. As someone in the mere Foundation Establishment stage, he could not resist the pressure that I was forcing down on him.
"Mercy, esteemed guest! Mercy! I shall do that." Hulong Tuyu fell to the ground.
"Good. You have that in your head. Now then, let us get going. I want to see for myself what a cultivation room is. If it is even half of what I had the last month, then it is truly magnificent." I smiled as I thought about it.
