Chapter 276: Chapter 119: Profound Mastery of Alchemy! The Storm Rises!_6

Was he temporarily selling the Qi-Blood Pills at a low price, or would the low price continue? This was certainly intolerable for the major families, as it affected their own businesses, akin to waging a price war and making a loss just to attract attention.

“Who has time to care about your families? It’s just that my master is preparing to challenge the Pill Path Realm and has been doing a lot of alchemy, storing up more pill medicines than needed, which naturally have to be sold. It will last at most a year and a half. Once my master makes a breakthrough, who would linger in such a place?”

Su Changkong appeared arrogant, but he effectively conveyed his intentions.

He had no desire to maliciously compete with the clans of Dafeng State City or engage in a price war. He only needed to sell the Qi-Blood Pills for a certain period, which would not harm the interests of other families in Dafeng State City.

“Hmm? His master? The Bull Demon King himself is already incredibly powerful. To be his master and also skilled in alchemy, who could this venerable figure be?”

The three elders in green robes all shivered inwardly.

The aura that Su Changkong had just revealed was not weak, and the pill medicines he was selling were refined by his master. He was merely selling them on behalf of his master!

Having such a powerful individual as a disciple, who is also proficient in alchemy, seemed like one of those reclusive experts!

Of course, they could not imagine that all these pill medicines were actually refined by Su Changkong himself. Su Changkong, wearing a bull head mask with a wild and unyielding temperament, towering and muscular, was not someone they would associate with an alchemy master.

Upon realizing the other party had no intention of aggressively competing with their clans to dominate the market, the three elders’ expression softened.

The elder in green smiled and said, “Since this is the case, we were presumptuous. If you have time in the future, you and your esteemed master are welcome to visit our clan.”

“Farewell!”

The three bowed and left, departing swiftly and decisively.

“Old Guan, we should send some people to watch the Ghost Market. As soon as he comes to sell pills, we’ll buy them all.”

The three figures grew distant, and the elder in green spoke in a low voice.

These major clans were not about to forbid others from making money or doing business. As long as their bottom line wasn’t crossed, it was simple: they would just buy the Qi-Blood Pills themselves during this low-price period!

In doing so, they would prevent the low-priced pill medicines from entering the market, and instead sell them slightly pricier in Dafeng State City, essentially creating a win-win situation.

Their visit was solely to understand whether the person selling Qi-Blood Pills at low prices was an enemy who might harm their interests. Since the seller only intended to sell for a limited time, they all breathed a sigh of relief and did not make things difficult for Su Changkong.

“Is that it? Shouldn’t they be unsatisfied with me selling pill medicines at low prices, determined to erase me? And then I would kill them and seek revenge on their families?” Su Changkong was somewhat speechless, not expecting the three to leave so easily after their aggressive arrival.

However, Su Changkong was pleased with this outcome. Better to avoid additional trouble when possible—making money peacefully was the most important!

After this minor episode, Su Changkong didn’t dwell on it further and set off, as he had a trade with the man in the bronze mask to look forward to in three days.

Following today’s events, life became unexpectedly peaceful.

Every day, Su Changkong diligently practiced his alchemy, faithfully selling the Qi-Blood Pills at the Ghost Market in the middle of each month under the guise of the ‘Bull Demon King,’ and then buying Star Pattern Gold from the man in the bronze mask and others at the arranged trading spot.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, half a year had passed since Su Changkong came to Dafeng State City.

At night, beside the alchemy furnace, the roaring fire gradually extinguished. Su Changkong approached and opened the furnace, and the scent of potent medicine filled the pill refining room. Inside the furnace lay six crimson Qi-Blood Pills, radiating a fragrant aroma!

A smile couldn’t help but spread across Su Changkong’s lips.

Alchemy (7th Realm Profound Mastery 1%)

In nearly half a year, Su Changkong had dedicated himself to refining pills and earning money. With his high potential value of 33, his alchemy skills had improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the transcendental level of the 7th Realm!

“Good! Almost everything is nearly prepared! Reaching the 7th Realm in alchemy means there’s a definitely higher success rate for producing the Monster Martial Pills. I can only hope… that heaven rewards the diligent!”

Su Changkong could hardly conceal his excitement. To refine these Monster Martial Pills, he had truly put forth his greatest effort, doing everything humanly possible and leaving the rest to fate!

Su Changkong could only hope that all his efforts would bear fruit, that these Monster Martial Pills, with the essence of demon monsters as their main ingredient, were worth all his hard work!
