Chapter 1382 - 1382: He Wants to Scam Materials?

For the majority of immortals, alchemy is a big problem.

Collecting materials is easy, but finding someone to refine them is extremely difficult.

However, this doesn't fall within Jiang Cheng's scope of consideration.

"Your pills go unrefined; what's that got to do with me?"

I'm not your mouthpiece.

"Figure it out yourself!"

He casually drove Yuan Guang Daoist Saint out.

In the entire Yunmi Dao, only he dared to be so casual with a Daoist Saint.

But Yuan Guang's arrival seemed to be just the beginning.

After that, a series of Daoist Venerable Elders came to seek him out, asking him to contact the Celestial Pill Department.

To relay a message - critically ill, need medicine, return quickly!

Eventually, even Gong Qing personally stepped up.

"Without the Celestial Pill Department, we really can't manage."

"The Ice Palace is too vast, the pill masters can't handle it all."

"Now, the sect's pill supply is almost cut off."

Brother Cheng furrowed his brow.

"So miserable? There's even a sect that can't supply pills?"

As the Sect Leader of Feixian Sect, he never encountered this problem before.

Gong Qing nodded.

"Yunmi Dao is different."

"Materials are easy to speak of, the key is that Emperor Pill Masters are too scarce."

"Next door is Refining Heart Dao, any Emperor Pill Master with a bit of level has gone there, won't stay here."

"Making the Emperor Pill Masters here even fewer than other places."

"Moreover, there are too many people in the Ice Palace..."

"Why not invite the masters of the Celestial Pill Department again to help?"

Sect Leader Jiang thought, it's such a trivial matter.

If Emperor Pill Masters all went to the Refining Heart Dao, then just call the Emperor Pill Masters from Refining Heart Dao over.

If others can't call them, surely he, as Divine Lord, can.

"This matter is simple, just..."

He suddenly shut his mouth, having thought of an even better method.

"Just what?" Gong Qing looked expectantly.

Whenever Lord Jiang says something is simple, then it's really simple.

"Just let them hand the materials over to me, and I'll refine them myself."

Brother Cheng almost cursed himself for being slow.

Should have done this sooner.

System Refining Technique doesn't take much effort.

Just encircle the materials, collect them into the System Space.

Then open the alchemy panel, set the desired pill type for production, and he could just lie down and wait.

The progress bar for system alchemy whooshes by, and when he woke up, a large batch of finished pills would automatically be categorized and displayed there.

How simple is that?

The most crucial thing is, by doing so, he can earn a huge profit!

The success rate of System Refining Technique is 100%.

And for the eventual pills given to the employer, only about thirty percent is needed.

They would even thank him for being generous!

Thinking back to helping the Celestial Pavilion in alchemy, he received both Miao Yu's sweet kiss and happily collected a large batch of finished Immortal Pills.

"Hand over to you?"

Gong Qing hadn't questioned him for many years.

But this time, she really couldn't resist.

She had seen Jiang Cheng's combat power many times, but never witnessed his alchemy.

"You know alchemy too?"

Brother Cheng looked at her in confusion.

"Did you forget a very important thing?"

"What?"

"I'm the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, the boss of that group of Emperor Pill Masters."

Moments later, the opposition voices of many Elders were heard in the Ice Palace's council hall.

"What? Hand over all the alchemy materials to him?"

Gong Qing nodded at her seat.

"Yes, this is the Supreme Palace Master's own intention."

"He decided to take some time off his busy schedule to help you solve the pill problem."

These were Brother Cheng's original words, she merely repeated them as they were.

But naturally, the elders inside were strongly unwilling.

"This is a bit ridiculous."

"The Supreme Palace Master is powerful, but can he really refine pills?"

"Exactly, I never heard him mention alchemy before."

Gong Qing said lightly, "He's the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, it should be no problem."

"But isn't it suspicious that it's only now when he suddenly mentions alchemy if he really can do it?"

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint was also filled with suspicion.

"I suspect he wants to deceive us out of our materials."

Upon hearing this, other elders also found it problematic.

One by one, they showed guarded expressions.

Gong Qing could see their doubts.

But this kind of thing couldn't be forced.

After all, the materials belong to them, so they have the freedom not to let Jiang refine them if they don't want to.

"I've conveyed the Supreme Palace Master's intention, whether to agree is entirely up to you."

In the end, none among the more than three hundred Daoist Venerable Elders present were willing.

When this news passed up, Brother Cheng felt a bit saddened.

"Really don't trust me as the Supreme Palace Master?"

"Is my credibility that bad?"

Determined to earn those pills, he decided to personally step forward.

A sect of three million people, if they all come to him for refining pills, how much could he earn?

He was certainly taking this business!

However, he did not proactively seek out those Daoist Venerable Elders.

Instead, he went to the Outer Sect of the Ice Palace.

The Outer Sect disciples of the Ice Palace were already Venerables at the start.

Some of the outstanding ones even reached the Celestial Venerable Realm.

When Jiang Taishang suddenly descended, the nearby Outer Sect disciples stirred in excitement.

"Supreme Palace Master!"

"Oh my, Jiang Taishang is here!"

As a 'Daoist Saint', he already wasn't someone disciples could easily meet.

Especially since Jiang Cheng had been lying in the sleeping palace for years, rarely making public appearances.

These lower-level Outer Sect disciples suddenly seeing him, were indeed very excited.

"Greetings, Supreme Palace Master!"

In an instant, it turned into layer upon layer here.

A sea of people, emotions ran high.

Seeing this scene, Brother Cheng regretted not visiting such places earlier.

Look at the face value!

"How is everyone progressing in cultivation?"

He waved at the crowd, showing rarely seen stature befitting a Supreme Palace Master.

The crowd smiled and replied, "Cultivation is going smoothly!"

"Thank you, Supreme Palace Master, for your concern!"

"Jiang Taishang, rest assured, we'll work hard in cultivation and not let you down!"

Some savvy ones even started flattering him directly.

"Seeing Jiang Taishang, I feel more motivated to cultivate!"

"Oh my, why do I feel I'm about to have an epiphany, could it be Jiang Taishang's appearance has brought inspiration?"

"That must be it, wherever the Supreme Palace Master goes, that place is filled with Daoist Rhyme..."

Listening to these rare compliments, Brother Cheng was in a great mood.

"Very good, you all have great spirit!"

He especially pointed at those sycophants from earlier.

"This is the vitality and bravado a sect disciple should have, you're the role models for everyone!"

To be honest, those who reached Venerable, were at least two hundred million years old if not a billion.

But age doesn't hold much significance in the Immortal Realm.

Praised personally by the Supreme Palace Master, those few disciples were filled with red glowing faces.

And their direct superiores, Outer Sect Stewards and Outer Sect Elders, were quick to note down these disciples.

Praised by the Supreme Palace Master personally, next time they recommend Inner Sect slots, they'll prioritize these few.
