Chapter 546: Chapter 538: Trouble Caused by the Nine-Rank Immortal Pill

An hour’s fee for five taels of Silver Money was definitely a sky-high price.

Qin Niu almost thought he had encountered a tea hustle.

“Here are ten taels of Silver Money, if it’s not enough, I’ll add more!”

In order to coax useful information out of Miss Yue, it was appropriate to be a little generous and bleed some money first.

To him, ten taels of Silver Money were but a trifling sum.

If he could really find out about the affairs of the Yao Family, these ten taels would be very well spent.

“Oh, how could I possibly let you pay for this? The hostess should pay, since you’re the guest,” the woman said gracefully.

If she had truly intended to pay, she would have hurried to settle the bill already.

Qin Niu naturally wouldn’t quibble over such trifles with her, and indifferently waved his hand, “It’s all the same who pays, Miss Yue needn’t mind.” Seeing Qin Niu so generous, Miss Yue’s attitude towards him warmed noticeably.

After the two entered the private room on the second floor, Qin Niu discovered that a soundproofing array had been set up, which immediately put him on alert.

Even though Elixir City had a rule prohibiting fighting within the city, with a soundproofing array, if Qin Niu were to be killed here, no one would ever know.

When traveling in unfamiliar places, it was better to proceed with caution.

“Waiter, why is there an array set up in this private room?”

Qin Niu asked the server.

“Immortal must be visiting our Whispering Teahouse for the first time, then? Each private room on the second floor is equipped with an independent soundproofing array. One only needs to manipulate the array flag on the table to seal off the sound inside the room,” explained the server.

After finishing the explanation and serving them a pot of fine tea, the server smiled ambiguously at Qin Niu, “Please enjoy, I’ll take my leave now. Once the soundproofing array is activated, no matter how loud the noises inside the private room are, they cannot be heard from the outside. And without your permission, no one will come to disturb you.”

After speaking, the server eyed Miss Yue and then Qin Niu before quickly exiting.

On leaving, he did not forget to set up an hourglass.

The private room required five taels of Silver Money per hour, most likely measured by this hourglass.

But it’s believed that no one would be foolish enough to frolic with a woman in here.

Mainly because the price was too extravagant.

There was simply no need.

“Miss Yue, could you introduce your most skilled Pill Alchemist to me? I’m looking to refine a seventh-grade Boundary-breaking Elixir, just provide me with a Pill Master proficient in crafting such Elixirs.”

After activating the soundproofing array, Qin Niu got straight to the point.

She, however, smiled and leaned a bit closer to Qin Niu, a faint scent drifting into his nostrils. He harbored no improper thoughts but instead frowned slightly.

Miss Yue caught all these subtle expressions and understood that Qin Niu was not a frivolous man, and thus she stopped teasing right away.

Instead, she returned to her seat, her expression becoming much more serious.

“In the entire Elixir City, there are no more than ten Pill Alchemists capable of refining seventh-grade Elixirs. There are only three who specialize in crafting Boundary-breaking Elixirs, and the Pill Alchemist behind me is one of those three.”

After speaking, she paused, staring at Qin Niu to gauge his reaction.

Qin Niu showed no emotion.

“Master Huang Changchun, have you heard of him?”

“Qin has limited knowledge and knows very little of these Pill Masters’ reputations. Miss Yue could just introduce him directly, there’s no need for intrigue.”

“Giggle! It seems Immortal Qin is quite a forthright person! I like dealing with customers like you.”
