Monarch of Time

Wan Zu felt an ominous feeling overcoming him at that moment, as he hurriedly shook his head and said

''Don't worry little brother. How could I allow you to suffer a loss from this?''

Of course, Shun Long already knew that the 'bone strengthening pills' that the Golden Treasure Hall sold were just average rank 5 pills at best, and couldn't be compared with his own 'Dragonblood tempering pills' that not only required a stalk of a mature Dragonblood grass and dozens of rank 4 supplementary medicinal herbs, but the perfectly maintained core of a rank 5 magic beast as well.

Of course, due to the fact that Shun Long had only killed less than two handfuls of rank 5 magic beasts in the 'Ten thousand beasts' mountain range' in the last 2 years, and only had those few beast cores to concoct more 'Dragonblood tempering pills', as well as the fact that it was nearly impossible for him to keep concocting top-grade rank 5 pills with his rank 2 silver-grade cauldron, Shun Long had barely managed to refine 8 batches of pills before his cauldron exploded, completely destroying his next refinement as well.

Thus, Shun Long only had the beast core of an early rank 5 magic beast and the middle rank 5 'snow ape' inside the 'Stone of Time'.

At that moment, Wan Zu took a deep breath and looked at Shun Long seriously before he said

''Considering that a single top-grade rank 5 'bone tempering pill' is priced at 30 sect points and brother Shun Long's 'Dragonblood tempering pill' is as effective as 50 'bone tempering pills', I can purchase brother Shun Long's pills for 1500 sect points each. So for 40 pills, I can give brother Shun Long 60.000 sect points right away.''

The moment that he finished calculating the price, Wan Zu raised his head and had already expected to see an expression of joy on Shun Long's face.

After all, 70.000 sect points were practically a fortune for any newly admitted new outer disciple of the sect.

And yet, contrary to Wan Zu's expectations, Shun Long had a serious look in his eyes as he stared at the old man in front of him before he shook his head and said seriously

''Senior Wan Zu, it looks like you have already forgotten that the only reason why not that many disciples are willing to buy your 'bone tempering pills', is because of the pill toxins that would accumulate in every disciple's body after consuming so many pills in one go.

However, as an alchemist, you should clearly be able to tell that my 'Dragonblood tempering pills' are different!

Not only are they almost completely clear from any pill toxins, but just a single one of them has the same effect as 50 'bone tempering pills'.

This means that a disciple will only have to consume 20 of my 'Dragonblood tempering pills' to breakthrough from the early fifth stage in body refinement to the middle stage.

How many years of work will that allow that disciple to save?

At the same time, the pill toxins that a disciple's body will accumulate after consuming 20 pills is practically nothing.

I bet that even if I set up a shop outside the Golden Treasures Hall and priced each pill at 2500 sect points, I would still be able to sell 40 pills within a week!

Of course, it will be a bit troublesome to make those outer disciples believe that a pill that is 50 times more potent than the 'bone strengthening pill' really exists, which is why I chose to sell them to the Golden Treasures Hall instead.''

Wan Zu stayed silent for a few moments, before he eventually nodded his head with a serious look in his eyes, as he then continued

''Fine. I will buy each pill for 2500 sect points. For 40 pills, I can give brother Shun Long 100.000 sect points. Including the 10.000 sect points from the 50 bottle of top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' that I owe brother Shun Long, the total is 110.000 sect points.''

As someone who had been in charge of the pills in the Golden Treasures Hall for many years, Wan Zu's business instinct was much stronger than Shun Long's.

Forget about 2500 sect points, even if he sold each pill for 4000 sect points each, with the Golden Treasures Hall reputation and the pills' effects it was still possible to sell everything within a week!

At the same time, Shun Long understood that Wan Zu wouldn't go any further than that regardless of how much he wanted to buy the 'Dragonblood tempering pills'. After all, the Golden Treasures Hall had to make some profit with every pill that they sold, and 2500 sect points per pill was already a high enough price.

''Considering that the Golden Treasures Hall will most likely sell each pill for 3500 sect points or perhaps even higher, a normal outer disciple will need at least 70.000 sect points to purchase 20 'Dragonblood tempering pills'.''

As he reached this conclusion, Shun Long nodded his head a moment later, before he took out his sect identifying token and handed it to Wan Zu who heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

With a smile on his face, the old man sent his soul sense inside his own sect token, before he transferred 110.000 sect points to Shun Long.

Although Wan Zu wasn't even an outer disciple of the sect, let alone an Elder, as a follower of an Elder and the person responsible for the pills in the first floor of the Golden Treasures Hall, he was qualified enough to hold his own sect identifying token to complete the exchanges.

With a big smile on his face, Wan Zu handed Shun Long's token back to him and collected the pill bottles in front of him in his spatial ring, before he stared at the young man and young woman in front of him and asked in a curious voice

''I wonder if brother Shun Long has any more pills that you want to sell.''

Of course, what Wan Zu actually meant with this was if Shun Long had any more pills at the same level as the 'Dragonblood tempering pills' that he wanted to sell. Although he knew that the chances were low for Shun Long to have more of those miracle pills, in the end the old man still hoped that he could get another surprise.

Shun Long thought seriously for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head and decided against selling his 'Blood Ignition pills' for now, as he held Liu Mei's hand and stood up from the couch before he said

''I will have to disappoint senior Wan then as I don't intend to sell any more pills today.''

110.000 sect points were already enough for the current Shun Long and Liu Mei to buy what they needed.

At the same time, although Wan Zu was disappointed after hearing Shun Long's refusal to sell more pills to him, he still had a smile on his face as he stood up from his seat as well, and walked towards the door of the private room while he waved his hand and said in an easy-going manner

''It doesn't matter. However, I still hope that if little brother Shun Long obtains any more rare pills in the future, you will consider sharing them with our Golden Treasures Hall first.''

Shun Long didn't respond right away, and as he and Liu Mei were about to leave the private room, Shun Long suddenly stopped and stared at the old man in front of him with a deep look in his eyes, before a slight smile slowly formed itself on his lips.
