The Zhu Family, Tianyu Comrce Chamber, Asia-East Alliance, and other influential families in Hu City are all discussing Zhou Yu’s participation in the alchemist’s examination.
Most of these factions are reacting with mockery.
However, due to the recent tension between the Martial Pavilion and Dan Pavilion, and now with the alchemist’s examination issue, they’ve collided once again.
No need to think about it, sothing is bound to happen.
Therefore, most factions have started contacting the dical Association, booking seats, ready to watch the drama unfold.
As one of the protagonists, Zhou Yu has already arrived at the Red Star Comrce Guild.
Accompanying him is Niu Biao.
Niu Biao went ahead, stepped forward, and announced their identities.
Upon learning of Zhou Yu’s arrival, the Red Star Comrce Guild imdiately dispatched soone to greet them.
The person who ca was a middle-aged beautiful woman.
She moved gracefully, smiling radiantly as she approached Zhou Yu.
"This must be Mr. Zhou from the Martial Pavilion."
"Truly young and promising, a talented youth indeed."
"I am Xia, the manager here."
"Our President Long is not at the guild at the mont, but he sent specifically to greet you upon learning of your visit."
Zhou Yu nodded, then followed Xia to the VIP suite of the Red Star Comrce Guild.
"Mr. Zhou, have you co to our guild to purchase sothing?" Xia asked with a smile.
Zhou Yu did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"That’s right. I heard your Red Star Comrce Guild has a ’Sky Wood Root’. I’ve co to purchase it."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu ntion the ’Sky Wood Root’, Xia’s expression faltered slightly, then she smiled apologetically and said:
"Mr. Zhou, the ’Sky Wood Root’ is one of our high-value items at the Red Star Comrce Guild. I don’t have the authority to negotiate with you. Let consult our President Long and get back to you as soon as possible."
Zhou Yu nodded and said:
"That’s fine."
"Please go and consult."
After Xia left, Niu Biao frowned and said:
"That young woman, she wasn’t telling the truth."
"That Long Teng is definitely here. How dare he put on airs? I’m going to have a word with him."
Saying this, he stood up as if to leave.
Zhou Yu gestured and said:
"No need."
"Whether he puts on airs or not is irrelevant, what matters is the item."
"As long as we can smoothly purchase the item, let him put on airs if he wants."
"Alright then." Niu Biao sat back down.
...
After leaving the suite, Xia quickly made her way to the president’s office on the top floor.
At that mont, a portly middle-aged man was in the office drinking tea.
This man was the president of the Red Star Comrce Guild, Long Teng.
After Xia entered, she respectfully said:
"President Long, Zhou Yu from the Martial Pavilion has arrived. He’s in the suite downstairs, and he’s here to purchase the ’Sky Wood Root’."
Upon hearing this, President Long’s eyes flashed with a peculiar expression.
"Sky Wood Root?"
"It seems Zhou Yu really intends to take the alchemy grandmaster’s examination; otherwise, why would he co to buy this item?"
"Could it be that he really is confident about passing the examination?"
As the president of the Red Star Comrce Guild, Long Teng was well-versed in all aspects.
He knew very well that only those whose alchemy skills were close to becoming an alchemy grandmaster would need the ’Sky Wood Root’. With good fortune, there could be a chance of creating a Seventh Grade Elixir and passing the examination in one fell swoop.
Aside from that, if one’s alchemy level was either too low or very high, this item would not be necessary.
Zhou Yu specifically ca to purchase this item, so he must have so confidence. Yet, considering his age, Long Teng remained sowhat skeptical.
At his age, his martial arts cultivation is already impressive, does he still have the energy to study alchemy?
While Long Teng was secretly speculating, another assistant walked in.
"President, the Asia-East Alliance and Tianyu Comrce Chamber representatives have arrived. They wish to see you, saying they want to discuss the purchase of the ’Sky Wood Root’."
Long Teng was stunned for a mont, then revealed a surprised smile.
"This is getting interesting."
"The ’Sky Wood Root’, normally of little interest, has suddenly beco highly sought after."
"The Asia-East Alliance and Tianyu Comrce Chamber representatives have both co."
Long Teng thought for a mont, then smiled and said:
"Tell them that our Red Star Comrce Guild only has one ’Sky Wood Root’. To purchase it, they need to prepare for a bidding process."
"Yes." The assistant turned and left.
Xia spoke up:
"President, shall I also inform Zhou Yu to prepare for the bidding?"
Just as Long Teng was about to nod, his phone suddenly rang.
Long Teng answered the call, and after a brief mont, his face showed a slight expression of surprise. He then said:
"I’ll be right down."
After hanging up, Long Teng imdiately tidied his clothes and hurried out.
Xia curiously asked:
"President, what’s happened?"
Long Teng replied while walking:
"This really is unexpected, Dan Pavilion’s Master Ni and his apprentice Tu njie have arrived. They’ve also co for the ’Sky Wood Root’."
Hearing this, Xia also showed an astonished expression.
"So... should we have everyone participate in the auction?"
Long Teng imdiately dismissed that idea.
"Forget about an auction."
"Master Ni is soon to beco an alchemy grandmaster; our Red Star Comrce Guild absolutely cannot afford to offend him."
"Since he wants this item, it must be given priority for him."
"Alright, go inform Zhou Yu that the ’Sky Wood Root’ has already been claid."
After saying this, Long Teng quickly walked out.
