Chapter 161: Stark: One Hundred Pills in One Night—What Do You Take Me For! (Third Update)

Monster Beast Mountain Range, three days later

At this moment in a valley of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan and Old Yao were both refining their respective pills.

Having seen in the member group how well pills were selling, Xiao Yan decided to learn pill-refining.

After all, this would definitely be a money-making skill in the future.

Seeing that Xiao Yan wanted to learn, Old Yao did not hesitate and passed his pill-refining techniques on to him.

Thanks to the carrot's marrow-washing and cleansing, combined with the enlightenment boost from the Thousand-Layer Pork Rolls.

Xiao Yan took to the Dao of pill-refining astonishingly fast, as if he were born for it.

In just three short days, Xiao Yan had begun his own path of pill-refining.

Fortunately, his cultivation was sufficient and his soul had been bolstered, so even on his first attempt at refining, Xiao Yan was able to control the heat.

Taking advantage of this spare moment, Xiao Yan posted his pill-refining scene into the member group.

This was the beginning of a future great alchemist's growth—Xiao Yan naturally had to record it properly.

Xiao Yan: "Everyone, this is my first step toward becoming an alchemist!"

The words out, Xiao Yan directly uploaded the video.

Out of curiosity about pill-refining in Xiao Yan's world, everyone clicked in without hesitation.

However, when they saw Xiao Yan's pill-refining scene, as well as Old Yao's pill-refining scene beside him, everyone immediately smacked their lips.

Yue Buqun: "Little Friend Xiao, where do you get the courage to put Old Yao in the same frame?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Originally I couldn't refine pills, but after watching Xiao Yan's refining, I felt it was passable."

Zhang Sanfeng: "But after watching Old Yao's refining beside him, I felt Xiao Yan was just being comedic!"

Wang Dadong: "Forget it, can't watch anymore—Little Brother Xiao's mindset is really something!"

Abbot Xuan Ci: "Amitabha. Although Little Friend Xiao's pill-refining skill is poor, as long as it's not refined for us, we should still encourage him."

Ning Caichen: "Mm, mm, that's right. As long as we're not the ones eating it, Little Friend Xiao, please feel free!"

Great Ming War God: "Good lord, I was looking forward to it at first, but now I'm very uneasy!"

Zhou Weiqing: "You didn't spend a fortune only to end up buying pills refined by Xiao Yan, did you!"

Stark: "I suppose not—after all, there are so many of us here!"

Luo Shiyi: "Mm, mm, yes, that's right!"

Lin Dong: "Anyway, I can't afford it anyway, so no worries!"

Just as everyone was worrying, Lin Dong's one remark instantly made Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng and the others see the light.

Oh right, they couldn't afford these pills even without looking!

For a moment, everyone could not help but feel a wave of relief.

But after the relief, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Lin Dong, Zhou Weiqing and the others started to cry.

Is this the benefit of being broke?

That's just too heartbreaking!

For a moment, looking at everyone's words in the member group, Xiao Yan could not help but offer an explanation.

Xiao Yan: "Ahem, rest assured, I won't sell pills I refined myself!"

Xiao Yan: "After all, these are just my playthings!"

Once Xiao Yan's words were out, Zhu Qizhen and the others finally felt slightly relieved.

Great Ming War God: "Mm, mm, that's good then. We'll just wait for Old Yao's pill-refining to succeed on your end!"

Stark: "Remember, save the best one for me!"

Great Qin Shi Huang: "This side of mine wants one too!"

Wang Dadong: "So jealous—we can only watch silently!"

Ning Caichen: "Can't afford it. Guess I'll just look at the pills Xiao Yan refined!"

Zhou Weiqing: "Hiss, we've already fallen this far? Eating pills refined by Xiao Yan?"

Lin Dong: "Weakly asking one question—Xiao Yan, what kind of pill are you refining?"

Looking at the messages in the chat group, Xiao Yan's face had originally been beaming with smiles at the words from Stark and the others.

However, when he saw the words from Lin Dong and the others, his smile froze.

Ahem, the way that question was asked.

How is he, Xiao Yan, supposed to answer that?

Xiao Yan: "Ahem, I'm just casually practicing here, so please stop asking!"

The words out, Xiao Yan directly refused to answer.

For a moment, everyone in the member group could not help but grow interested.

Telling us to stop asking?

Could there be some problem with the pills Xiao Yan refined?

Unavoidably, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng and the others also grew interested.

Yue Buqun: "Little Friend Xiao Yan actually refuses to say—there's something fishy!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "That's right, there's definitely a problem!"

Wang Dadong: "Brother Xiao Yan, tell us, eh? Maybe the effects aren't bad—send some my way too!"

Ning Caichen: "Mm, mm, that's right. Can't afford Old Yao's pills, but taking a look at yours wouldn't be bad either!"

Zhou Weiqing: "Can't be helped—who let me be poor!"

Lin Dong: "Mm, mm, I'll take a look too!"

Rock Lee: "Spit it out already—so many of us are waiting!"

Tang San: "That's right, this is all business!"

Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Tang San, and others couldn't help but speak up, urging him on.

They couldn't afford the pills refined by Medicine Old Man.

If the effects of the pills refined by Xiao Yan were good, they would buy them too.

After all, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and others didn't want to fall too far behind Stark and the rest.

On the other side, Xiao Yan, seeing the group's urgent messages, couldn't help but feel helpless.

Sigh, in this day and age, why force him to say what he didn't want to say?

Thinking of the effects of the pills he had researched, Xiao Yan couldn't help but speak in the group.

Xiao Yan: "Ahem, this is something I randomly refined myself. As for the effects, I just experimented with the powder; the effect is... quite vigorous!"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Xiao Yan believed they would understand.

Yue Buqun: "Vigorous? What does that mean?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Hiss, this old Daoist doesn't understand. I don't want this pill!"

Wang Datong: "Ahem, I am a decent person. Who wants this?"

Ning Caichen: "Ahem, this humble scholar doesn't want it either. My body cannot handle such a strong tonic!"

Zhou Weiqing: "Good heavens, no wonder it's you, Xiao Yan. You actually refined this?"

Lin Dong: "Your first lesson as a newbie is refining this. Doesn't your heart ache?"

Luo Shiyi: "Tsk tsk, this knowledge is too profound. I don't understand. I'm leaving first!"

Tang San: "Ahem, I am pure and innocent. I don't want this thing!"

Great Ming War God: "Eh, interesting. Xiao Yan, you can refine this too? Give me some!"

Stark: "Good stuff, good stuff. I'll pay one hundred taels of gold per pill. Let's start with one hundred pills!"

Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Tang San, and others all lost their nerve and immediately backed down.

However, Zhu Qizhen and Stark were the two who immediately and without hesitation agreed to buy.

For a moment, Xiao Yan, inside the cave, looking at the messages from Stark and Zhu Qizhen, was completely stunned.

He originally thought no one would buy such things.

He didn't expect that not only would someone buy them, but two tycoons appeared at once.

Looking at the price Stark offered, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.

One hundred taels of gold per pill. If Stark ate one hundred pills in one night, wouldn't that be ten thousand a day for him!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan immediately became excited.

Stark: One hundred pills in one night? What do you take me for!
