บท 53: Level Six Pill
บรรณาธิการ: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tealwood couldn't help but feel pity for that group of Magical Beasts. But even though his master had treated them like lab mice, they were also extremely fortunate to have gotten a chance to follow such a powerful master! Her gifting for cultivating was out of this world, and she was also a superb Alchemist!
"Yes, I am," Qingcheng answered Chi Yan calmly. She didn't think she needed to hide her identity as an Alchemist. After all, she was sure he knew plenty of Alchemists, and she was sure that a place like Treasure Trove Court would keep this a secret for her.
"…Ooh… so does that mean you are a Level Six Great Grandmaster level Alchemist?" Chi Yan tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart as he asked a second question. "May I ask how old you are this year?"
Qingcheng looked at him and replied flatly, "I'm twelve. But I'm not at Level Six, and I can only refine Level Five Beautifying Pills."
Chi Yan looked at Qingcheng in greater shock and had to force himself to calm back down. "Twelve… then, Mister Qing… do you know that Marrow Cleansing Pills have been absent from this world for at least a thousand years…? And that now it's been reclassified as a Level Six pill?" He was now very sure that Qingcheng was a cultivator, but he didn't know why he couldn't tell earlier.
Chi Yan didn't know how to describe what he felt now. Everyone in this and the other room was also feeling the same way as him. There was always something more shocking, and always someone more incredible out there!
Qingcheng finally realized what was wrong. She had just arrived on this continent, and everything she knew about this world was the remnants of the original owner of this body's memories. On top of that, it was only a small portion of her memories. Before she turned six, her parents were still around and taught her basic things about life, but it didn't cover a lot of information. She knew even less about the occupations in this universe, and after her parents left the house, she hardly went out, and she knew very little about the world outside. Later, she was locked up for four whole years and was completely cut off from the world… it was already a miracle that she hadn't forgotten how to talk.
Qingcheng looked at Chi Yan and was a little surprised, but she soon wiped off the surprise and asked, "So does that mean that I'm considered a Level Six Alchemist? So, do these items I have on hand reach the requirement for the auction?" If these items weren't good enough, there was nothing she could do. There were many more levels of pills after these, and the higher the level, the harder they were to refine. As the pills' levels increased, the refining process of the herbs became more difficult, and the amalgamation process became harder as well. It required a lot more Spirit Qi and energy. Her current level of cultivation wasn't high enough for that.
"Yes, they do! Yes, they do! We'll publicize these pills for you tomorrow! We're not in time to draw up a poster, but we can definitely send word to the neighboring nations! We'll definitely make sure these pills go for an acceptable price!" Chi Yan was incredibly excited. These were the legendary Marrow Cleansing Pills and Beautifying Pills that drove all women crazy! This was going to be the most sensational auction in history!
"That's good to hear. Here are the two types of pills; I have two of each pill inside. One will go to auction, and you can use the other one to conduct a real test on someone who is there. I think… that would have a greater effect on the auction." Qingcheng passed Chi Yan two bottles of pills.
Chi Yan was so excited that his hands were trembling. He tried his best to remain calm and opened the bottles to smell them. Ooh! The aroma of these pills was so intense! They were Premium Grade pills!
He carefully took one Marrow Cleansing Pill out. It was dark gray and had silvery-white lines on it. So, this was a Marrow Cleansing Pill? This was what it looked like? Chi Yan was so gleeful to be able to touch one…
Qingcheng couldn't really stand the expression on Chi Yan's face, and she didn't know what to say. She didn't want to see his face anymore.
So, she interrupted his private moment and said, "That's that, then. I'll come for the auction that's happening in the afternoon in two days' time." Then she added with a meaningful glance, "I hope… our first deal together will go well…"
Chi Yan immediately snapped out of his trance and looked at Qingcheng, a little embarrassed. "Sure, sure. I will definitely be around to welcome you personally for the auction in two days' time. Also, don't worry, you will have your own private Black Crystal Card room. What should I say if someone asks about the name of the Alchemist who made these pills?" He knew that Qingcheng probably didn't want anybody to know that she was an Alchemist.
