Chapter 314: Two Colored Rainbow Pill (1/2)

Here many pills, materials, and inscriptions fell to the pile of things that was already overflowing on the table.

Even the majority of the floor was filled with items. The pills were all in jade bottles, the herbs in jade boxes and the inscriptions tightly rolled into scrolls.

The old man was stunned the more he saw Xue Wei withdraw from the storage treasures. Although many came with large quantities of items, it was simply nothing compared to the amount of things that Xue Wei took out.

Not to mention, these things were what people needed the most. It might seem to be common materials with a few rare materials thrown in here and there, but this was what they truly needed on Treasure Island.

When the old man saw that one of the jade vials were different, his eyes widened in shock. The jade vial was smaller than the others and clearly contained only one pill. For a pill to be placed on its own, it was likely a rare pill, and this was something he was eager to look at, but he held back.

After half the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xue Wei finally stopped emptying his storage treasures. Even the storage treasures of the Berserker Island had been thrown into the pile. They were not worth much, but even a little was worth something.

In the end, the entire room was filled to the brim with items, even the companions of Xue Wei were surprised by the sheer quantity of things he had brought with him, only Bai Tianyi knew it was not even half of the items he had in his storage treasure.

Over the years he had killed and looted quite a few people's items. At the same time, he had also managed to buy a lot of ingredients not to mention all the stuff the citizens of Yan Dalu had thrown to him before he left.

Clearing his throat, the old man had been stunned for some time. ”I will start looking through this,” he said. ”I will suggest that the common materials are sold at market value, and the rarer things will be sold at an auction. We have an auction that takes place seven days later. If you have time to attend this auction, then you will be able to earn a much larger amount of essence stones.”

Xue Wei contemplated. He was not sure how long they planned on staying on Treasure Island, but a week should be possible to delay their travel.

The ambassador had already started the process of selling their ship, and he would need to accommodate a new one before they could leave anyway.

Making a decision on his own, he quickly agreed to the idea of the auction seven days later.

Nodding his head, the old man began to sort and take inventory of the items. The further into the pile he got, the bigger his eyes became.

When he opened the jade vial he had looked at from the start, he almost forgot to breathe.

”A rainbow pill!” he exclaimed filled with shock in his eyes and shortly after he looked at Xue Wei with fervent eyes.

”I see that you have many pills, can this old one assume that you are the alchemist behind the Rainbow Pill?”

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes while contemplating whether or not he should lie, but after considering it, an alchemist was a respected profession. If he could use it to add a layer of protection towards himself and his friends, then it was worth it.

”I am indeed the one who refined the rainbow pill,” Xue Wei admitted, and the eyes of the old man shone with a cunning light.

”What would you take in commission if I were to ask for you to refine a few batches of Rainbow Pills for my shop?”

Xue Wei had never expected this question, and his eyes narrowed further.

”I have a few requests,” he said, ”I will put ten Rainbow Pills up for auction seven days later, but during this auction, you are not to sell any of the Rainbow Pills I refine for you.”

This request was easy to promise for the old man. It was not worth it for him to put rainbow pills up for sale at the same time as Xue Wei, they would just end up lowering the value of each other's pills.

”Secondly, help us, and the rest of our comrades, find somewhere to reside the next seven days we are present at Treasure Island.”

Once again, the old man quickly approved of the request.

”Finally, help us purchase a ship.”

This time the old man was confused. How had they arrived at the Treasure Island if they had not sailed on a ship? But he was not going to ask questions and just nodded his head.

Ships were all over Treasure Island, new and old ships were put up for sale all the time, so these requests that Xue Wei had were not excessive.

”Oh, and I also require a fee,” Xue Wei continued. ”You can pay me what you think my work is worth.”

Xue Wei was not sure how much it cost to hire an alchemist, he had never been commissioned before, so he was quite clueless, and as such he decided to throw the hot potato back at the old man instead.

The old man chuckled when he heard Xue Wei's last remark, and he nodded his head. He was not going to cause problems and underpay, but this way, he was not requesting an immense price either.

After some time, the old man had finished taking stock and had split the items into what should be sold directly and what had the quality to be put up for auction.
