Chapter 36 The Terror of the Alchemist!
Immediately, under the guidance of the bespectacled old man, Su Xiaobai walked through the corridor, took the elevator, and arrived at the eighth floor.
When the elevator doors opened, Su Xiaobai felt as though he had stepped into a world of opulence and grandeur… Everywhere he looked, there were luxurious decorations, showcasing just how wealthy and extravagant Pill Treasure Pavilion truly was!
Upon entering the VIP lounge, the lavish décor continued. Even the simplest sofa was worth at least hundreds of thousands of spirit coins!
“What kind of tea would you like to drink?”
“No need. I’m busy; let’s get this over with quickly,” Su Xiaobai said indifferently.
“Understood. Please wait for a moment; I’ll return right away!” The bespectacled old man quickly left.
Just five minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and the door to the VIP lounge was pushed open. A stunning figure in high heels sashayed inside.
“Mr. Bai, my apologies for keeping you waiting!”
Su Xiaobai glanced up at the newcomer.
Aside from the bespectacled old man, there was now a tall woman with an alluring fragrance.
What a fairy!
Su Xiaobai silently remarked.
“Mr. Bai, I’m Rose, the head of the third branch of Base No. 18.”
“The three Golden Crow Meridian-Protection Pills you wish to consign for auction have already been entered into the auction process. Please wait for a moment, and the receipt will be delivered to you shortly!”
“Additionally, Mr. Bai, here is your VIP Diamond Card. You are now one of our highest-level members at Pill Treasure Pavilion. Whether you’re making purchases or consignments in the future, you’ll enjoy a 10% discount!”
Rose slightly bowed, placing a card that sparkled like a diamond under the light on the table in front of Su Xiaobai.
The card bore Pill Treasure Pavilion’s unique logo and anti-counterfeiting features.
At the same time, her ample, mesmerizing curves were in full display before Su Xiaobai.
Fortunately, Su Xiaobai had cultivated Blood Attack, a technique that tempered his mind, making him less susceptible to distractions.
“All right, I understand,” Su Xiaobai replied, his tone cool.
Ironically, it was this indifference that made Rose even more curious about Su Xiaobai’s identity.
Base No. 18 only had a handful of alchemists capable of refining fourth-grade pills.
One belonged to the Lin family, while the rest were from other major bases.
As the head of Pill Treasure Pavilion, Rose had heard of them all. Suddenly, a new alchemist emerged, one who could refine fourth-grade perfect-grade pills—how could she not be intrigued?
“Mr. Bai, if I may ask a bold question, have you joined any organization or family?”
Rose didn’t mince words and asked directly.
She knew alchemists often had peculiar tempers. If one beat around the bush, it might annoy them, but being straightforward usually yielded better results.
“Yes.” Su Xiaobai replied curtly.
Disappointment flashed in Rose’s eyes.
When the bespectacled old man had introduced Su Xiaobai to her, she’d been hopeful she could recruit a fourth-grade alchemist. After all, fourth-grade alchemists were exceedingly rare at Base No. 18. Having one on her side would have been a major boost to her position!
Most importantly, this alchemist could refine perfect-grade fourth-grade pills!
Realistically, his actual level was likely fifth-grade or higher!
For an alchemist above fifth grade, even a martial commander would show utmost respect. Their value was immeasurable!
Rose continued asking a few more questions, but Su Xiaobai’s answers were consistently short and bland: “Mm,” “Ah,” or “Oh.”
Understanding that talking too much invites trouble, Su Xiaobai kept his words minimal.
Before long, the receipt was ready.
“Mr. Bai, I apologize for the wait. Here is your receipt.”
“In three days, we’ll hold a diamond card VIP auction on the sixth floor of Pill Treasure Pavilion. You’re welcome to attend, and you can collect your auction proceeds then!”
Rose smiled and handed Su Xiaobai the auction invitation.
“Okay, I understand.”
Su Xiaobai didn’t say much. After collecting the receipt, invitation, and diamond VIP card, he left Pill Treasure Pavilion with Rose escorting him out.
“Lady Rose, should I follow him?”
By the floor-to-ceiling window, Rose swirled a glass of red wine, watching Su Xiaobai’s cloaked figure disappear around a corner. Suddenly, an advanced warrior emerged from the shadows nearby and respectfully inquired.
“Follow a fifth-grade alchemist?”
“Do you want our entire Pill Treasure Pavilion branch to be buried with you?”
Rose shot him a cold glance. “Have you forgotten the lesson of the Sun family at Base No. 67?”
The advanced warrior fell silent.
The Sun family was a major clan at Base 67.
With a martial commander as its leader and numerous martial generals under its banner, warriors were merely subordinates there.
However, when a traveling alchemist arrived from another base, the Sun family repeatedly failed to recruit him and resorted to force. On the day they kidnapped the alchemist, a colossal warship appeared above Base 67.
A martial god personally led a team to deal with the Sun family. Despite their pleas for mercy, the family couldn’t escape annihilation!
This incident shocked countless bases.
Everyone reached a consensus: never provoke an alchemist lightly because you never know how terrifying the power behind them might be!
“Yes, Lady Rose. I’ll take my leave!”
…
Three days later, Su Xiaobai returned, fully equipped.
However, he wasn’t there for the so-called auction but to collect his proceeds.
“Mr. Bai, during the auction earlier, your pills caused quite a stir. The three Golden Crow Meridian-Protection Pills sold for a high price of 80 million!”
“As a diamond VIP, your commission fee was reduced by 10%. Here is the total amount: 66.5 million yuan. Please take it!”
Rose smiled warmly, handing a bank card to Su Xiaobai.
“66.5?!”
Hearing the number, Su Xiaobai was momentarily stunned.
Damn… This is way more profitable than I imagined!
