บท 44: Shameless Little Brat

After reading the descriptions, James was astonished, particularly by the effects the pill clouds could have on someone who consumed them.

Immediately skipping the low-level and breaking through to the mid-level was amazing for other people. For them, it was akin to saving years of time, as the road to cultivation was long and arduous.

James immediately asked Little Fluffy why he was able to refine three different types of pills with just a set of materials.

Little Fluffy explained that James was extremely lucky because he had refined the pills with the highest possible results that the current system could achieve.

"When you refine pills with a set of materials, you usually get three pills of normal type.

However, there's always a chance you could get pill veins or even pill clouds. Though the odds of obtaining pill veins is only 0.1% and 0.01% for pill clouds.

The highest result you can achieve in refining is to get one pill of each type: normal, veins, and clouds."

Little Fluffy also informed him that he could combine 10 normal pills into one with pill veins and 10 pill veins into one with pill clouds.

James had initially thought he could only refine one pill for each set of materials.

However, after considering the cost of refining pills and weapons and their profit margins, their profit margins were actually similar if James could get three pills with only a set of materials.

Still, he wasn't sure of the exact prices for the pill veins and pill clouds, as he had only just learned of their existence.

However, James was pretty certain that their prices would be significantly higher, given that each required combining 10 of the lesser types of pills with the system to create them.

'I hope these pills will fetch a really high price.' James sighed and thought that he should obtain information about their value from the Luo Heng Chamber of Commerce later, as he had no use for them himself and would sell them in the future.

Of course, when seeking information from the Luo Heng Chamber of Commerce, James planned not to reveal his ignorance of the pills other than their effects.

Old Bai, who sat opposite James, was puzzled by the way James's expression kept changing and how his eyes seemed to dart around.

However, he decided not to ask about it, as it didn't concern him, and he was only here to do his job.

James regained his senses after he realized that he had pretended to be thinking about something for too long and immediately tossed three pills to Old Bai,

"You can check these pills first and tell me the estimated prices if I decide to auction them."

When Old Bai saw the pills in his hands, he was shocked and unknowingly opened his eyes widely for a few seconds before regaining his composure.

He then quickly picked up the jade token, seemingly contacting someone before saying, "Young Master James, please wait a minute."

James only smiled, looking at the reaction. However, he was actually quite surprised inside, as he hadn't expected the reaction to be this big.

James only gave two normal pills and one with pill veins, not even the pill clouds, as he wanted to see the reaction and gather information about these pills first before deciding to sell them.

After a short while, James noticed Luo Meng and Luo Xian'er approaching the table at a fast pace, as if they were in a hurry.

When they arrived, Old Bai tossed the pill with pill veins to Luo Meng, and said, "Look, it's the peak rank 8 breakthrough pill with pill veins."

When Luo Meng caught the pill, she was just as shocked as Old Bai had been, while Luo Xian'er reacted similarly, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Big sis, Third Brother will definitely be happy if we give this pill to him." Luo Xian'er said happily while tugging on Luo Meng's clothes.

Luo Meng only smiled and asked James, "Young Master James, can you sell this pill to our Luo Heng Chamber of Commerce? We will definitely offer you the best price."

"No, if you want to buy it. At most, I will auction the pill if I am in a good mood. Surely your Luo Heng Chamber of Commerce can afford to compete at the auction, right?

But for now, my shoulder is still sore like before, and I haven't even quenched my thirst with a good wine, so I ain't selling it for the time being." James shrugged his shoulders and touched his neck, coughing lightly.

"Didn't you already take the jar of wine from the table earlier?" Old Bai was speechless and asked James blatantly.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I didn't see any wine on the table before." James replied with a confused look and immediately asked Luo Meng,

"Did you see the wine on the table before? Or is it just me who didn't see it?"

"No, I also didn't see any wine on the table either. I think you're mistaking young master James for someone else, Old Bai." Luo Meng smartly replied and gave a glare to Old Bai.

"Oh right, My apologies. I must have mistaken you for someone else, as I have met many people today." Old Bai apologized to James and immediately took out a new jar of wine while thinking to himself,

'Fck, this little brat is so shameless. I have lived for almost 3.000 years, but I have never seen anyone this shameless before.'

Luo Meng immediately glared at her younger sister before pouring the wine into a glass and handing it to James.

Luo Xian'er stomped her feet in frustration. But, thinking that she could give this to her Third Brother, she reluctantly walked behind James and began to massage his shoulders while pouting unhappily.
