"Is it really a top-grade pill?"
Upon hearing the crowd’s comnts and catching a whiff of the dicinal aroma before him, Lu Yidao’s expression mirrored Zhao Shi’s perfectly—he was so full of regret he nearly turned green!
If only he had known earlier that the pill Ye Fei possessed was a top-grade pill, he would never have allowed Ye Fei to unseal the bottle and let everyone else know its quality. He would have acted imdiately to sohow wrest the pill from Ye Fei’s hands!
But now, it was too late!
Because many individuals who were far stronger than Zhao Shi and Lu Yidao had already gathered around. Even with a hundredfold courage, neither of them dared entertain any selfish thoughts of monopolizing the pill.
"Young brother, how are you planning to trade this pill? I’ll take them all!"
"Take them all? Look at the crowd here—why should you get all? Just give one. I only need a single pill!"
"You think you deserve a pill just because you say so? We’ll still need to see what requirents this young brother has for the trade before getting these top-grade pills!"
As these words were spoken, everyone imdiately turned their gaze toward Ye Fei, awaiting his response.
Ye Fei, seeing that he had achieved his desired effect, smiled and said, "I have a list here. You can take a look. Anyone who has the items on this list may exchange them for pills—the more and higher quality items, the greater the return!"
A list?
Upon hearing this, the crowd eagerly turned their attention to the piece of paper Ye Fei held up. But within monts, their brows furrowed.
The nas on the list included many unfamiliar items—not only had they never seen them; they hadn’t even heard of them. Even the few listed items they recognized were precious and extrely rare thousand-year-old dicinal materials, utterly unattainable for ordinary cultivators!
Many people’s expressions dimd in disappointnt.
But thinking about it made sense—such rare top-grade pills were treasures beyond the reach of ordinary thods. Only soone like Ye Fei, who could refine pills himself, and who possessed both formidable strength and the ability to slay ferocious beasts like the Demon Tiger, could afford to casually trade away Vitality Pills.
"Young brother, the items on your list are far too rare—would you accept a monetary exchange instead? I own five properties across Su Province!" a man suddenly shouted.
As soon as the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they began shouting out bids one after another.
"Five properties? How much is that worth? You don’t qualify to compete for these top-grade pills! Young brother, I’ll offer eight million!"
"Eight million? Haha. Young brother, how about fifteen million for five pills?"
"Fifteen million for one pill!"
The bidding war in the hall escalated rapidly.
After all, for ordinary people, these cultivators were esteed individuals. Their ability to amass wealth was notably superior.
Indeed, everyone present was a multi-millionaire; re millions weren’t even enough to make them eligible to speak.
Yet Ye Fei frowned slightly.
Money, which used to an everything to him, was no longer of much importance!
As the major figure in Su Province and the owner of a wealth-attracting powerhouse like the Purple Mist Building, money had beco nothing more than a set of figures to Ye Fei—far less vital compared to cultivation resources.
"It seems I’ve overestimated this Martial Arts Conference. None of these people have what I need—forget it, forget it!"
With this thought, Ye Fei began contemplating leaving.
Just then, an elderly man stepped forward, chuckling, "Young friend, I happen to have so of the items on your list, such as Snowy Bud, Purple Rainbow Orchid, and Linglong Grass."
"You do?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei’s eyes lit up.
Unlike the confusion others displayed while looking at the list, this old man had rely glanced over it and effortlessly nad several dicinal materials, clearly not lying!
Soon, Ye Fei understood why the old man knew these items.
As this elder appeared, a commotion erupted among the crowd, with soone exclaiming, "The Ten Thousand Pills dicine King! It’s the Alchemy Master, the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King Himself!"
Upon hearing this, the others imdiately adopted an attitude of reverence.
An Alchemy Master!
A great figure who was only one step away from becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster!
On regular days, even eting the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King would be incredibly difficult. Yet today, he had unexpectedly appeared at the Martial Arts Conference.
Little did they know, though, the influential figures drawn here weren’t limited to just the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King.
The earlier commotion was simply too overwhelming.
Even so of the big shots waiting in private rooms for the conference to begin had been drawn over, curious to uncover the source!
An Alchemy Master?
To the gathered audience, the title was awe-inspiring. But Ye Fei viewed it with complete indifference—his expression remained unchanged.
For soone like Ye Fei, who could effortlessly refine top-grade pills using the Void Alchemy Technique, an Alchemy Master was nothing extraordinary!
In fact, if comparisons were truly made, Ye Fei could be considered the ancestor of so-called Alchemy Grandmasters!
So Ye Fei simply responded calmly, "If you have the items on my list, you may trade them for pills."
Hmm?
Hearing Ye Fei’s words, the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Was this a naïve young upstart unaware of his fad reputation, or did he have so hidden reliance?
Regardless, the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King chuckled and said, "I have around one-third of the items listed. How many pills can I exchange for them?"
"I have eighteen Vitality Pills. Since you can offer one-third of the list, you may take six," Ye Fei replied with a smile.
Six pills?
Ten Thousand Pills dicine King frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The dicinal materials Ye Fei listed were extraordinarily rare and invaluable. Even for soone of his status, acquiring them had been challenging.
To trade so many prized materials for only six pills—was it worth it or not? The dicine King hesitated.
Observing this, Ye Fei actually felt more anxious than him.
But this ti, Ye Fei had learned from his initial experiences in Grey Valley County. Drawing on the mories of the Soul-controlling Demon, who had once ruled the stars, Ye Fei recalled tactics specific to negotiation.
According to these mories, if the other party hadn’t outright refused, it ant that the items Ye Fei offered held significant allure for them!
At this juncture, Ye Fei’s task was simple—wait. And not just wait, but exude an air of indifference while doing so.
Thus, Ye Fei stood calmly with a smile, occasionally glancing around the room as though expecting soone else to approach with a higher bid. He showed not the slightest concern for whether the dicine King would agree to the exchange.
Seeing Ye Fei’s deanor, the dicine King felt a pang of urgency and hurriedly said, "Alright! I’ll agree!"
As he spoke, the dicine King waved his hand. Imdiately, a young attendant walked over to him, holding a palm-sized pouch.
But just as the Ten Thousand Pills dicine King was about to hand over the pouch, a young man with an arrogant expression stepped forward and said, "I’ll take all eighteen pills for our Shan Family!"
His words sent a shockwave through the room. The dicine King instantly glared at him in anger, yet instinctively stepped back half a step.
This man was Shangguan Hong—the most talented young mber of the Shangguan Family’s younger generation!
