586 Pay Him Back In His Own Coins 6 (1/2)
Then, who was this person?
They observed her alchemy furnace again. Apparently, it did not seem to be very outstanding. The quality was merely above average.
Was she as legendary as the rumors claimed?
Was it like what people had speculated, that she had prepared the pills in advance and the alchemy process was just a trick to fool the public?
The first alchemy is complete. After uncovering the lid, numerous people stretched their necks to look into the furnace, looking like a bunch of giraffes. However, the mouth of the furnace was too small, so only a few people managed to look inside.
An apothecary stepped forward to look inside and observe the pills again. Then, with a startled look in his eyes, he counted off the pills to the people around, ”Three wasted pills, three level-one pills, two level-two pills, one level-three pill and one level-four pill.”
The result was an extraordinary performance even to the most experienced alchemist there.
The crowd once again bustled with noise and amusement, some of them cheered with excitement, some of them discussed at great lengths.
Qian Lingtian secretly caught his breath. Very well, there was a level-four pill.
He did not talk much and handed over the spiritual stones to Gu Xijiu without hesitation. He then took the pills and left.
After stepping out of the circle, he looked back and sneered.
When he approached Gu Xijiu a few moments ago, he had secretly applied a faint aroma on her. The smell was indistinguishable. The aroma could only be sensed and tracked by a type of spiritual insect.
The alchemist had taken away his spiritual stones for more than a thousand pieces. Feeling sorry for his lost stones, he desperately wanted to find out her background and reclaim his stones.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard that there were some loud noises. It seemed like some arguments were going on.
Tempted, he turned back around and mingled with the crowd.
