1052: Chapter 1052: Business Cos Knocking 1052: Chapter 1052: Business Cos Knocking Second You had no trouble persuading his group of friends at all; he simply took out the bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills that Fang Bai had given him and shook it, then said, “Anyone who wants to try their hand at alchemy or artifact refining, follow .” Consequently, his friends, like cats that had caught the scent of fish, scrambled excitedly to follow him to Fang Bai’s stall.
“Ladies and gentlen, this is Senior Bai!”
Seeing Fang Bai smile approvingly at him, Second You knew he had done a satisfactory job, and his spirits lifted.
He puffed up his chest and announced loudly, “Friends, take a look at this bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills in my hand.
They were refined by Senior Bai himself.
Since Senior Bai can produce mid-grade elixirs, then low-grade ones would undoubtedly be even easier for him…”
Second You may have looked unprepossessing, but he certainly had a way with words.
His impassioned speech convinced his friends to see Fang Bai as a rare talent who mastered both mid-grade alchemy and artifact refining.
They bowed with hands clasped, addressing him as “Senior Bai,” their deanor exceedingly respectful.
You should know that among the alchemists and artifact refiners originally at the Martial Artists Trading Market, only those who could produce low-grade elixirs or spiritual artifacts.
According to Second You, as long as martial artists provided the necessary materials, this “Senior Bai” in front of them was able to refine mid-grade elixirs or spiritual artifacts, a prospect that truly moved their hearts.
Before now, not a single mid-grade alchemist or mid-grade artifact refiner existed in the entire Purple Fla City or even in Thousand Lakes Country.
Fang Bai’s sudden ergence excited the group of martial artists that Second You had brought.
They all eagerly presented the spiritual dicines and materials for refining artifacts they carried, asking Fang Bai for help in refining elixirs and spiritual artifacts.
The vast majority of martial artists were Heaven Level martial artists, who usually did not dare to venture into dangerous territories or blessed lands, so they did not possess many high-grade cultivation resources.
Consequently, most requested the refinent of low-grade pills and spiritual artifacts.
Among the crowd, several Desolate Level martial artists remained doubtful and hesitated to speak up.
They decided to first observe Fang Bai’s alchemy and artifact refining skills before deciding to commission him to refine elixirs and spiritual artifacts for them.
As an alchemist or artifact refiner, the higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the control over Essence Energy, leading to better proficiency in alchemy and artifact refining.
In this world, alchemists and artifact refiners had at least a Desolate Level realm of cultivation.
Fang Bai, boasting Heaven Level Perfection yet claiming to be able to refine mid-grade Spirit Pills and spiritual artifacts, was truly unprecedented and hard for people to trust without proof of his extraordinary talent or the possibility of concealing his true cultivation level.
“Senior Bai, your elixir…”
With so reluctance, Second You handed the bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills back to Fang Bai, wishing they were his own.
In the Martial Artists Trading Market, a bottle of mid-grade pills could exchange for a hundred thousand low-grade Essence Stones or over a hundred bottles of low-grade pills, more than enough to satisfy his cultivation needs for several years.
Mid-grade pills or Essence Stones were suitable for Desolate Level or even higher realm martial artists’ cultivation, whereas Heaven Level martial artists like Second You typically used low-grade Essence Stones or pills for cultivation.
Thus, Second You longed for Fang Bai’s bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills, hoping to exchange them for the resources he needed for cultivation.
But Second You also understood that mid-grade pills were rare and expensive.
Fang Bai had entrusted him with that bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills only in hopes of using the pills to attract custors, not out of generosity to gift it to him.
Now Second You had successfully brought the first batch of custors to Fang Bai; it was ti to see Fang Bai’s skills.
If Fang Bai could produce pills and spiritual artifacts that satisfied this group of martial artists, then through word of mouth, his reputation would quickly spread and bring him more custors.
But if Fang Bai’s abilities were found lacking and the pills and spiritual artifacts he crafted failed to et the custors’ expectations, then his bad reputation would spread until no custors visited, leading to the closure of his stall.
Second You was very much hoping for Fang Bai to establish himself in the Martial Artists Trading Market because Fang Bai had promised him a reward of no less than a hundred thousand low-grade Essence Stones within ten days.
This was a huge temptation for Second You.
Second You silently prayed as he returned the bottle of mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pills to Fang Bai, both for Fang Bai’s success and his own.
“Keep this bottle of elixir; consider it a part of the compensation I’m paying you in advance,”
Fang Bai said with a smile to Second You.
The friends who had been dragged over by Second You looked enviously at him, thinking that this guy had stumbled upon incredible luck, and just the thought made their mouths water.
“Senior Bai, I have a few stalks of Fusion Essence Grass here, and I’d like to request your help in refining Gathering Yuan Pills.
What do you think?”
A lean and dark-skinned martial artist pushed through the crowd and approached Fang Bai, presenting several stalks of Fusion Essence Grass.
Like Second You, the lean and dark martial artist had attained the realm of Heaven Level Perfection.
He probably wanted to refine Gathering Yuan Pills in preparation for his future assault on the Desolate Level Realm.
“Four stalks of four-hundred-year-old Fusion Essence Grass…
well done, Hei Tan, where did you steal this Spiritual dicine from?”
Second You couldn’t help asking.
The lean and dark-skinned martial artist was an old friend of Second You, and because of his dark complexion, he was nicknad “Hei Tan.” Everyone had called him that for decades, to the point where they had forgotten his real na over ti.
The four stalks of four-hundred-year Fusion Essence Grass that Hei Tan produced were among the finest of the lower-grade Spiritual dicines, with significant value in the Martial Artists Trading Market.
Nobody expected the usually quiet Hei Tan to have such a valuable item hidden away.
However, in the Martial Artists Trading Market, Hei Tan was known as a crafty thief and had once been severely reprimanded for stealing from a Desolate Level Martial Artist.
The thief was caught by the victim and taught a harsh lesson, but like an indomitable cockroach, Hei Tan was back to hopping around in no ti.
Seeing Hei Tan take out the several stalks of four-hundred-year Fusion Essence Grass, the first reaction of Second You and the other martial artists was that it could very well be another one of Hei Tan’s stolen goods.
Hei Tan glared at Second You and said irritably, “Scram, Second You!
I risked my life to pick these four stalks of Fusion Essence Grass from deep within the mountains.
I neither stole nor robbed them, so don’t accuse wrongly!”
Second You glanced at Fang Bai, seeing that he was examining the Fusion Essence Grass offered by Hei Tan.
He dared not continue to make a ruckus and grunted twice, then kept silent and stood by Fang Bai’s stall like a guardian deity, as if the stall were owned by his own family.
“Brother You, how do the alchemists and artifact refiners here charge for their services?”
Fang Bai still had to consult Second You on these matters.
“They take at least three out of ten, or at most, four out of ten,”
Second You explained.
“For example, with Hei Tan’s four stalks of Fusion Essence Grass, if you can refine ten pills, it’s enough to give him six or seven, keeping three or four as your compensation for refining the pills.
And if soone wants you to refine a Spiritual Artifact, you can ask them to prepare one-third more materials, as your paynt.”
