124: Chapter 124 Wei Feng's Excitement

Those willing to help him become a 6th-rank Alchemist had proposed extremely harsh conditions. For instance, a certain Alchemy Sect didn't just want him to join; they required him to sign a life-and-death contract, a servant contract, essentially surrendering his everything to them.

This was something Wei Feng was absolutely unwilling to do.

And most of the requirements were like this.

The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce similarly wanted him to sign a contract. As long as he lived, he would belong to the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce and spend his life refining Medicinal Pills for them.

Compared to the conditions offered by other powers, the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce was already considered quite humane—he only had to stay with the Chamber forever and refine pills for them.

However, Wei Feng did not want to throw his entire life away at the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce. He had tried to negotiate terms, such as setting a fixed term of service.

But he was firmly rejected by the Chamber's headquarters. To obtain the method to Breakthrough to a 6th-rank Alchemist from the Chamber, he had to accept their conditions without any bargaining.

Wei Feng was still considering it. In truth, he had already made up his mind that if he really couldn't find any other way, he would have no choice but to agree to the Chamber's demands.

For the sake of the 6th-rank Alchemist Realm, joining the Chamber forever to refine pills for them was still better than being someone else's Alchemy slave.

But now, it seemed another path had appeared before him.

This caused Wei Feng to gradually grow excited, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

He couldn't celebrate too early. The other party would certainly have conditions and require him to pay a price.

If the price was to be a slave like those Sects demanded, he would definitely not agree.

He knew that the insights and methods for a 5th-rank Alchemist to Breakthrough to a 6th-rank Alchemist were extremely precious.

For an Alchemist with limited talent like himself, being able to reach the 5th-rank on his own without a Revered Master's Legacy was already his limit.

Without guidance from others, he might not be able to reach the 6th-rank Alchemist level in this lifetime.

"What is the price?"

Wei Feng asked in a heavy voice.

"Yuan stones."

Lin Ming said.

Yuan stones?

Manager Huang Xing and Wei Feng were both startled, doubting if they had misheard.

Buying the Breakthrough insights of a 6th-rank Alchemist with Yuan stones?

One must know that after the disaster ten thousand years ago, many Legacies in the cultivation world had been partially severed, including some Alchemist Legacies.

This resulted in Alchemist Legacies being extremely precious and high-rank Alchemists being exceedingly rare. Furthermore, these Legacies were basically monopolized by major Sects and powerful forces, rarely traded with outsiders.

They were willing to trade with Wei Feng only because they saw the value in his status as a 5th-rank Alchemist.

But even so, they still wanted to control Wei Feng.

Now, Lin Ming's proposal to exchange the Breakthrough insights of a 6th-rank Alchemist for Yuan stones felt somewhat unbelievable to both of them.

Especially to Wei Feng himself.

"Truly just Yuan stones?"

Wei Feng's voice trembled as he spoke.

"That's right."

Lin Ming nodded.

It was merely the Breakthrough insights for a 6th-rank Alchemist; to Lin Ming, who was a 9th-rank Alchemist, it was absolutely nothing.

Exchanging them for Yuan stones was not impossible.

"How many Yuan stones?"

Wei Feng asked, suppressing his excitement.

"That depends on your own sincerity."

Lin Ming said.

Lin Ming didn't set a price for how many Yuan stones were needed to buy the 6th-rank Alchemist Breakthrough insights; it all depended on Wei Feng himself.

"I will be staying in Cangyuan City until the auction ends."

Lin Ming said.

"Then I won't disturb you two further."

With that, Lin Ming stood up and left.

"Fellow Daoist, take care."

Manager Huang Xing also hurriedly stood up to see Lin Ming out.

When others in the Chamber saw Manager Huang Xing personally escorting someone out with such a respectful demeanor, they all became curious about Lin Ming's identity.

After all, Manager Huang Xing was the Chief Appraiser of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce's branch in Cangyuan City and a powerhouse at the Bitter Sea Realm Immortal Master level, yet he was so respectful to someone they had never seen before.

This made them naturally curious about Lin Ming's identity.

After seeing Lin Ming off, Manager Huang Xing returned to the room, only to find Wei Feng looking calm.

"Don't disturb me for the next while."

Wei Feng said this to Manager Huang Xing and walked out of the room.

Yuan stones.

Yuan stones.

Now, Wei Feng's mind was filled with nothing but Yuan stones.

The chance to become a 6th-rank Alchemist was right before him, and he didn't want to let it slip away.

Even if it meant losing his entire fortune, he wouldn't hesitate.

Manager Huang Xing's heart, which had just slightly settled, was once again in turmoil.

This matter was no longer something he could decide; it had completely exceeded his control.

Manager Huang Xing went to the top floor of the building and arrived at a certain room.

"Pavilion Revered Master."

The door to the room slowly opened.

Manager Huang Xing stepped through the door.

...

"Revered Master, where are we going?"

Lin Ming asked.

The three of them walked along the street.

Su Lianxue and Master Yun Hua had put their masks back on, though this time the masks only covered the upper half of their faces.

This gave Lin Ming a constant feeling of being out of place; it seemed he also needed to get a few masks for himself.

Master Yun Hua didn't reply to Lin Ming and continued walking on her own. Lin Ming had already grown accustomed to this.

Yunlai Restaurant.

A certain wine house.

Master Yun Hua led the two of them inside.

"Three guests, would you like a private booth or the main hall?"

A waiter immediately came forward and spoke to the three of them.

"The hall."

Master Yun Hua said coldly.

"Alright, please follow me, guests."

The waiter then led the three of them to the second floor and seated them at a table by the window.

"A pot of Red Immortal Tea, and serve ten dishes of your choice."

Master Yun Hua said.

"Very well, please wait a moment, guests."

The waiter withdrew.

"Have you heard? Master Yun Hua from Yuanxu Mountain has actually become a Nirvana Ancestor."

At that moment, the conversation from the neighboring table reached their ears.

"Of course I've heard. Your news is too slow; I've known for a long time."

"This Ancestor Yun Hua is said to be as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal. I wonder if we'll ever have the chance to see her."

"Keep dreaming. She's a Nirvana Ancestor now; how could she be seen so easily?"

"That's true."

"A Nirvana Ancestor... I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to reach that Realm in my life."

"Yes, in your dreams. Go to sleep."

"Forget it, this guy's dreams are all about the girls from Yixiang Pavilion."

"But seriously, a new batch of girls just arrived at Yixiang Pavilion, and they are quite something."

"You dog, keeping the good stuff to yourself and not telling your brothers?"

"What do you mean 'keeping it to myself'? I'm just scouting the way for you guys first."

"You're paying for this meal."
