Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Chapter 95: Lightning Slash Sword_2 (2/2)

“I wonder if you would be willing to part with it and sell it to me? I am willing to offer four top-grade Spirit Stones!” Fairy You Lan proposed.

Xu Mu had a sudden realization, no wonder the voice sounded familiar, it was the woman who had bid against him at the auction.

Guessing that she’d had the same thoughts as him, assuming it was a plant from the auction house, she had ultimately given up. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be offering such a high price now.

She was polite and respectful, willing to pay a high price, her attitude impeccable, stirring up good impressions in Xu Mu.

But he definitely could not sell it as he needed it to breakthrough the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, Fairy. I also need this medicinal herb!”

“I was presumptuous!” Fairy You Lan apologized first and then asked: “May I ask what you are planning to use this Blood Sunflower for? I just want to check if I have any suitable substitutes!”

Xu Mu raised an eyebrow and retorted: “Why would you want to buy it?”

“I intend to concoct a tier seven pill to replenish essence and energy! I am only short of the Blood Sunflower, hence my unabashed disturbance,” she explained.

Hearing Fairy You Lan’s words, Xu Mu’s eyes brightened.

He never expected the elegant lady before him to be a tier seven Alchemist, such a person would undoubtedly be outstanding even in the Tianhe Sect.

“So Fairy is a tier seven Alchemist! I apologize for my unintentional slight,” Xu Mu hastily bowed.

“You’re being too polite! I have yet to successfully shape a tier seven pill and don’t dare to claim the title of a tier seven Alchemist,” Fairy You Lan shyly shook her head.

The difference between tier six and tier seven is only one step, yet it’s a world apart.

She had attempted to reach the next level several times but had not succeeded. However, she unexpectedly stumbled upon an ancient pill recipe that replenishes essence and energy, and decided to give it another try.

Pills that replenish essence and energy are considered the easiest to concoct among their respective tiers, such as the tier one Fasting Pill, tier three Yellow Dragon Pill, and tier four Grass Renewal Pill. Most Alchemists start their practice with these pills, refining their skills before trying on other kinds of pills.

A regular Alchemist’s progression differs from Xu Mu’s significantly specialized path, they are often involved in a wide array of areas in hopes to gain knowledge from them.

It’s like Xu Mu learning Fire Skills.

After all, regular Alchemists don’t have a system, no matter how hard they try to overcome a bottleneck, it doesn’t work. The only solution is to attempt different kinds of pills, seeking inspiration.

Thus, Alchemists like Fairy You Lan possess several pill recipes.

At first, Xu Mu didn’t intend to sell to her, but now there’s a better plan.

“Since the Fairy is making a pill, I can sell her the Blood Sunflower. However, I have two requests,” Xu Mu proposed.

The dried-up old man opened his bleary eyes, casting Xu Mu a faint glance that was subtly threatening.

Xu Mu ignored it.

“Please proceed,” Fairy You Lan graciously responded, showing no surprise at Xu Mu’s nonchalance.

His response was just as she had predicted when she revealed her identity as an Alchemist.

“After you successfully concoct the tier seven pill, could you sell it to me?”

“Huh?”

Fairy You Lan was slightly taken aback, she hadn’t expected such a request. However, it worked out well for her.

She had been wondering what to do with the pills once they were made, since the market for essence replenishing pills was limited mostly to Body Cultivators.

Could this man be a Body Cultivator? It somewhat astonished Fairy You Lan to meet such a person in such an inconsequential place.

She nodded and happily agreed.

“That can be arranged. However, I must point out that I am not 100% confident in successfully making the pill,” she admitted.

“No problem! You surely know how to concoct a tier six essence replenishing pill, right?”

“I can make one or two types,” she affirmed.

“That’s great! If the tier seven pill is not successful, you could help me concoct a few bottles of tier six ones.”

In any case, he would not be at a loss.

He could not only come to know a top-level Alchemist but also save some medium-grade Spirit Stones.

“If that’s the case, there is no problem.”

Fairy You Lan nodded. In her view, it meant no more than a few more days of delay. But if she missed the Blood Sunflower, who knew when the next opportunity would present itself.

“What’s your other condition?” she asked.

“Sell me a few Pill Recipes,” Xu Mu replied.
