Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 70: Only One Hundred Pills Available (1)

"Look at what those country bumpkins are doing!" a group of disciples living in the Qingyao Hill's core area laughed at the Li brothers for tending the Lotus Rock Plant carefully. They're literally the clown in the other's eyes right now for turning into a farmer.

But to the brothers, such humiliation wasn't worth getting angry at all.

The most important thing for them now is to keep up with the supply, while Qin Lan is still preparing for the next stage of their upcoming plan.

At the end of the week, the others from the Min-Ren Dwelling also came to give them a hand. The arrival of Hu Jia, Lu Yi, Lu Qing Yun, and Huo Zunjie lightens up their burden slightly. Having six pairs of hands working on four hundred plants is indeed better than two.

As for Qin Lan, he moves around two different places frequently.

The Dan-Xin Dwelling and his Spiritual Cave.

Both places now had a Formation of Poison Accumulation to cultivate more of the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass. And at the same time, he's also slowly gathering more contribution points and medicinal ingredients through completing the task he accepted from the Pill Request Hall.

Very soon, two weeks have passed from the day Qin Lan planted the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass. It is also the day they'll put their plan into work. The first harvest yields them twenty beautifully grown blades of Spirit Grass.

Four nearby columns in the first plot are then emptied and had their soil loosen up. It will be used to plant the next upcoming batch of Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass. If things went well, sixty blades of Spirit Grasses are expected in their harvest two weeks later.

Everyone was busy, but none of them complained. If there one, it's Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie, who only managed to try the Essence Transformation Pill once compared to the girls and Li Wei.

Entering into his seclusion training once again, Qin Lan started to work with the harvested Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass.

Each blade of the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass is about six inches long and three inches wide. The stem in the middle is where the core part is located. As long this part is undamaged, extracting between four to six pills worth of essence is plausible.

To start the alchemy process, Qin Lan must use the soothing Yin Flames on the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass.

Even to a person with his experience, this step cannot be skipped when it's related to preparing a Spiritual Herb for alchemy. Furthermore, Qin Lan cannot afford to make a single waste at the twenty blades of herbs he has beside him.

The "preparation" step using the Yin Flames causes the grasses with the striking resemblance of emerald jewel now turned entirely into a piece of pale-looking jade. It was sturdy as a real blade earlier. But now, it's looking like a piece of bloated leaf from a succulent plant.

With the cultivation of a fifth-level Flesh Refining Layer, the 15,000 particles of Spiritual Qi in his immature Dantian only allow him to process three blades of Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass at once.

Of course, Qin Lan started steadily with two instead.

In alchemy, haste means waste. Being put in a situation where every blade of the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass is more precious than his own life made him value the progress much more.

A gentle flick of his finger cuts off the tip of the two leaves. Then, a sweet, minty extract started to pour into the cauldron before him.

"Eleven and a half," Qin Lan whispered. That's the yield for using two blades of the spiritual herb instead of three. It means that half of a pill worth of extract left in there will eventually be wasted at the end after he's finished firing the cauldron.

As soon as he's done sighing, Yang Flames appeared on both of his palms. The flame's intensity quickly turns the impurities that remain in the extract away as they started to divide themselves into individual droplets.

Eventually, eleven pills appeared inside of the cauldron, coagulated and hardened. Two pill veins were imprinted on each of them when the flame started to cool off. Then, with a hint of Spiritual Energy, Qin Lan created an outburst of wind to blow the dregs away.

The final product was eleven green pellets with two milky white veins. After filling them into eleven separated bottles, Qin Lan rested for a moment until he's back to his optimal condition before continuing with the next batch.

Qin Lan finally came out after working on the Essence Transformation Pills without a stop for three days. 107 individually bottled Emerald Transformation Pill is then handed over to Hu Jia.

"So... What price are we going to sell it?" Hu Jia asked.

They looked around at one another and eventually stops at Qin Lan.

"Let's sell it at the price of ten Contribution Points each. We'll only choose three lucky disciples to test the miraculous effect of the pill. And remember this keyword..."

"We only have a hundred of them. First come, first serve." Qin Lan chuckled.

...

...

...

The next morning, Outer Market Valley.

Hu Jia came to an elder and paid ten contribution points as a rental fee for a spot inside the market. It was totally different from what they were doing all this while.

That's because there are a few rules while it comes to peddling your wares inside this Outer Market Valley.

Only two hundred independent stalls are allowed to open every day, first come, first serve. The prices for the first hundred stalls vary depending on their positioning and sizes. As for the second hundred stalls, they're all equal.

It was through this way that they manage to keep things competitive inside this Outer Market.

What's next is your ability to manage your stall. As long no weapon is used, you're allowed to do whatever you like to your rival's business. Because here in the Outer Market Valley, not only your resources are counted as a part of your strength! Background, ability, and decisiveness as well are taken into account!

This is not unfair. This is not injustice.

...

Their stall soon opened in a pretty secluded area. Manned by Hu Jia, Lu Qing Yun, and Qin Chan, the others like Lu Yi, Huo Zunjie, and Qin Fan is taking care of their security.

A flag twerked by Qin Lan slightly stands straight in Lu Yi's grip, with a few words written on it.

[MIRACOULOUS ESSENCE TRANSFORMATION PILL]

"Hey, what is this Essence Transformation Pill is all about?" a few fellow disciples from the nearby stall came to them and started to bombard the girls with questions.

It was to the point of annoyance because half of the questions weren't related to the product. They were here just to try to get rid of a competitor for their day-to-day business.

After all, one less stall is few contribution points more for them!

But soon, the surge in the number of shopping disciples quickly turn them away to get busy with their own merchandise. There are more people started to ask about the pill, but none of them made a purchase!

It was until an actor name Shan Xiong Xin finally came.

"WHAT?" he yelled after hearing what Hu Jia explained to him. Soon, Shan Xiong Xin pointed at a cultivator he hated nearby and challenged him to a duel. To make it more interesting, he purposely chose the one with a small level higher than him.

"Shan Xiong Xin, you must be tired of living. How dare a seventh-level challenge an eighth-level like me!" the cultivator with a mouse-face chuckled as he tried to grab the attention of the passerby to watch the show.

"Fellow disciple Shan! Take this and give him a lesson!" Hu Jia purposely poured the Essence Transformation Pill into Shan Xiong Xin's hand and let him swallow it right in front of everyone.

"Remember, we only have a hundred of them. First come, first serve." Qin Lan's sentence repeats itself in her mind.

"Everyone! You might want to queue up here if you change your mind later on. We only have a hundred pills in our hand!" Hu Jia yelled.

It was time for business.

"Real business," Hu Jia smirks.
