155: Chapter 155 I Became

A sliver of killing intent appeared on Manager Huang Xing's face. It seemed he still hadn't killed enough, allowing some people to harbor delusions of luck.

"Dispose of them, then drag another batch out."

Manager Huang Xing said coldly to the people around him.

In the past, Manager Huang Xing might have turned a blind eye to such matters, but Lin Ming was different.

Not only was he a 6th-rank Alchemist, but the faction behind him could casually produce 7th-rank Medicinal Pills and Origin Weapons for trade, which sufficiently proved the extraordinary nature of his backing.

Befriending him was definitely a good thing for them.

He didn't want people from other factions to disturb Lin Ming, but now that someone had touched upon this matter, he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch.

Did they really think that he, Manager Huang Xing, could no longer wield a blade?

It seemed that after not making a move for so many years, some people had already forgotten his former reputation.

"Yes."

The person nodded.

A maid walked into the room at that moment.

"Manager, people from the Golden-Armed Demon Ape Clan wish to see you,"

the maid said.

"I understand,"

Manager Huang Xing nodded.

At this point in time, Manager Huang Xing certainly knew the purpose of the Yao Race's visit.

But he couldn't refuse to see them.

The Golden-Armed Demon Ape Clan was considered a major client of their Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, so he couldn't just leave them hanging; he had to meet them.

After all, competition between the major chambers of commerce was fierce, and they were all eyeing each other's clients, ready to poach them at any moment.

After organizing his thoughts, Manager Huang Xing went to the reception room.

"Old Man Huang."

As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Gu Qingchen's greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Qingchen, Fellow Daoist Gu Jie,"

Manager Huang Xing greeted the two Yao.

"Manager Huang, here is the procurement list."

Gu Jie took out a list, placed it on the table, and spoke to Manager Huang Xing.

Manager Huang Xing picked up the list, glanced at it twice, and then handed it to the young man beside him.

The young man understood Manager Huang Xing's intent; after carefully reading it a few times, he left with the list.

"The usual,"

Manager Huang Xing said.

"No problem,"

Gu Jie nodded.

"I say, Old Man Huang, I heard that the person auctioning those 7th-rank Medicinal Pills and Origin Weapons is staying right here in your Wanfu Chamber of Commerce."

Gu Qingchen looked at Manager Huang Xing and asked directly.

"How could I not know if that Fellow Daoist was still in our Wanfu Chamber of Commerce?"

Manager Huang Xing said, feigning confusion.

What Fellow Daoist?

He didn't know.

He knew nothing at all.

"Old Man Huang, stop pretending."

Gu Qingchen had an unkind and disdainful look on his face.

He hated this hypocritical human behavior, especially this old man before him who always wore a smile; they never got the better of him in business, but compared to other even more cunning humans, they didn't have much choice.

"Fellow Daoist Qingchen, where is this old man pretending?"

Manager Huang Xing asked, still looking confused.

His main strategy now was simply not to admit it; as long as it involved Lin Ming, he would deny everything and claim to know nothing.

"Manager Huang, we hope to obtain some Medicinal Pills from that friend. The price is negotiable. I hope Fellow Daoist Huang can pass on the message,"

Gu Jie said.

"For this matter, you should find that Fellow Daoist yourself, not come to me,"

Manager Huang Xing said.

While Gu Jie just looked at Manager Huang Xing and said nothing.

"Then we won't disturb you for now."

With that, Gu Jie stood up and left.

The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce might not be able to gather everything they needed within a day, so their transactions usually took place within a month.

Once the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce had prepared the goods, they would personally deliver them to the Golden-Armed Demon Ape Clan's station in Cangyuan City.

"If you ask me, there's no need to be so polite with that old man,"

Gu Qingchen said to Gu Jie after they walked out.

"Then what do you want to do? Use those fists you're always talking about?"

Gu Jie glanced at Gu Qingchen and said.

Make a move?

If he dared to make a move inside the city, the human side would certainly not let them off.

If it were just ordinary humans or Loose Cultivators, they might turn a blind eye, and at worst, they could pay to settle the matter.

But the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce was no ordinary human faction.

"He is a clever man,"

Gu Jie remarked before turning to leave.

"Manager, the head of the Chen family wishes to see you. Their carriage is already outside the chamber,"

the maid came over and said.

Arriving at the door of the chamber meant they were determined to see Manager Huang Xing.

"When did a mere manager like me become so popular?"

Manager Huang Xing gave a self-deprecating laugh.

However, it wasn't really a problem; the President had gone to the headquarters to report on some matters, and that old geezer had dumped the burden of all the affairs onto him before leaving.

Currently, he was the Acting President of the Cangyuan Branch of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.

"Please invite him in."

...

"Fellow Daoist, what about this matter?"

Manager Huang Xing looked at Lin Ming and said.

These days, whether they were humans or members of the Yao Race, they all wanted to get to know Lin Ming and make contact with the faction behind him.

But Manager Huang Xing had blocked them all one by one.

Manager Huang Xing thought about it and felt he still needed to inform Lin Ming about this.

"I have no interest in meeting them,"

Lin Ming shook his head.

He wasn't particularly interested in this faction or that faction.

Instead, his attention was focused on Wei Feng's path of advancement.

Under Lin Ming's point-by-point corrections, some of Wei Feng's bad habits were being eliminated one by one.

His success rate for 5th-rank top grade Medicinal Pills was also getting higher and higher.

It seemed Lin Ming's time hadn't been wasted.

Twenty days passed in a flash.

Blazing flames scorched the Pill Furnace. Under Wei Feng's control, the heat of the flames continued to rise until it reached a certain point, after which the temperature plummeted.

A Medicinal Pill rapidly condensed and took shape within the Pill Furnace.

Finally, it turned into a completed pill.

"I've done it!"

Looking at the completed pill in his hand, Wei Feng could no longer hide his excitement.

A 6th-rank Medicinal Pill.

He had finally refined a 6th-rank Medicinal Pill and stepped into the realm of a 6th-rank Alchemist.

A 6th-rank Low Grade Medicinal Pill.

Lin Ming glanced at the pill in Wei Feng's hand; he had only refined a 6th-rank Low Grade pill. This level of Alchemy was quite poor.

Even when he had first entered the realm of a 6th-rank Alchemist, he hadn't been this bad.

But their deal was now fulfilled.

When Wei Feng stepped into the realm of a 6th-rank Alchemist, their deal would be complete.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

The look of excitement gradually faded.

Wei Feng spoke to Lin Ming with a solemn expression.

"I am not your teacher; this was just a deal,"

Lin Ming said with a wave of his hand.

"I dare not forget the grace of your teaching,"

Wei Feng said in a deep voice.

Even if it was just a deal, Lin Ming had truly taught him many things and helped him avoid many detours. In particular, the alchemy technique Lin Ming had taught him was definitely no ordinary one.

Furthermore, he also understood how he should proceed on his future path.
