340 Time to go! (1/2)
”Welcome.” The old man said with a low voice. ”Please sit.”
Alex looked at the old man who was sitting calmly in his chair. ”I am sorry for my rudeness, Senior. I have a pressing matter.”
”Hyo-ho. I am just curious about the person who made us literally run out of money a few months ago… To think you are such a young Alchemist. Since you have another matter, then I will make this short. Just put everything on the floor.”
Alex nodded. He immediately took out a hundred bottles on the floor. And even from his chair, the old man could smell the pills' scent.
”Truly magnificent. Two thousand Crystal Skin Pills. You will get 20,000 Spirit Stones for each pill. And with these 2000 pills, you will get 40 million Spirit Stones. And since you are such a big customer and supply us with these many pills at once, since I also finally meet the alchemist who made all of this, I will also add another five million Spirit Stones with my authority.”
Alex only nodded his head. Well, it was a good thing he got another five million Spirit Stones. ”Thank you very much.”
”Then, I should not keep you any longer.” The guild master then looked at the elder who guided Alex to this room. ”Elder Ren, please prepare the money for him.”
”Yes.”
”I am wondering… usually, the little girl who will come to this guild. Why do you suddenly personally come to this guild?” The guild master asked Alex, trying to chat with him while waiting for the money.
”She went home.”
”Oh, I see.”
”Guild Master, I am back.” The elder grabbed the cash with lightning speed. The guild master only asked one question, and he already came back to the room. He handed the space ring that contained 45 million Spirit Stones to Alex.
Alex received the Space Ring and looked at the guild master. He said politely, ”Then, I will excuse myself.”
”Sure. You are our precious Alchemist after all. I will be waiting for you next time.”
Alex then left the room.
”Guild Master, are you sure we can give him an additional five million Spirit Stones. I mean, it is such a big sum.” Elder Ren asked.
”Hyo-ho. The little girl bought the medicinal ingredients a few weeks ago. And he already came back with two thousand perfect purity pills.”
The elder was startled. Since Song Yu occasionally came to this place for Alex, she already knew about this guild master. Usually, he would be the one who personally finished her business. And with the sudden appearance of Alex, he was just a bit surprised to hear Alex's voice. It seemed Alex was very young, but it made him appear even more monstrous.
”And she also bought only a thousand sets of ingredients.” The guild master continued.
”A set of ingredients can make two Crystal Skin Pills… a few weeks ago…” The elder was shocked to the core when he realized that.
Alex could make all of this in a few weeks, and all of them were perfect purity.
Even the guild master smiled, ”Hyo-ho. It seems he is affiliated with the Heavenly Sword Sect. To think such a monstrous Alchemist affiliated with the Heavenly Sword Sect, not Mount Hua Sect. Those old men in the Mount Hua sect would be crying to hear something like this.”
”Are you going to tell them, guild master?”
”Why should I tell them? I don't have any obligation for that. Elder Ren, just remember, our partnership with Mount Hua Sect is only limited to medicinal ingredients. Ultimately, we are Alchemist Guild of Heavenly Sword Town, not Mount Hua Sect's Alchemist guild branch.
”Still, such a monstrous young man. I wonder who his master is…” He was a wandering Alchemist Guild official. He came to this guild a few months ago, and luckily it was the time when Song Yu started running the errand for Alex. This piqued his interest, so he remained in this place just to see it through.
…
Alex went back to the sect to tell him he would go with Evelyn. He just arrived in front of her house, and Charya already shouted, ”Come in.”
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. Since the house owner had given him permission, he then came inside. ”Elder, Charya. I am going to go now.”
”For the auction?” Charya asked.
”Yes.” Alex nodded his head.
”But, aren't you planning to leave next week? Why do you suddenly want to leave now?”
Alex only smiled as he did not know how to explain. After all, if he said he wanted to avoid meeting that Letizia, she might even tease him or something along the line.
”Well, there is a pressing matter. So, I need to leave first. Since the timing is right, I will leave together with Evelyn.”
”???” Charya was completely clueless. But since Alex did not say anything about it, she did not pry any further. Charya said, ”Alright. If it is a pressing matter, I will not stop you. But you better be careful out there.”
”Yes.” Alex nodded.
”We have not gotten the news about the details of the tournament, and as soon as I know about it, I will let you know,” Charya said.
”Thank you.”
Alex then left the house.
Evelyn had been waiting for him together with Anna. Alex said to Evelyn while putting his mask on, ”I am going to say this to you first.”
”Yes…? Why does big brother use a mask?”
”Nothing. I just want to hide my identity. So, you are going to take part in this.”
”Why do you want to hide your identity?”
