Chapter 1079: Master Ku's Pills

"Since no one wants it, Wen can only take the Pill back."

Wen Tiansheng chuckled and pointed his finger.

The Jade Bottle containing the Pill floated back into his hand.

He was just about to put the Jade Bottle away.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Daoist Friend Wen, I want this Pill."

The person who spoke was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the great hall.

Their injuries were the most severe among those present, and their voice sounded somewhat weak.

"Daoist Friend Yu is as straightforward as ever."

Wen Tiansheng looked at the speaker and smiled, "What about the Medicinal Herb to exchange for the Pill?"

The cultivator surnamed Yu was silent for a moment, took out a Space Ring, and with a wave of his palm, a Spirit Light flashed over the Space Ring.

Afterward, he flicked his finger, and the Space Ring flew before Wen Tiansheng.

Wen Tiansheng took the Space Ring and examined it for a moment.

After confirming the quantity of the Medicinal Herb was correct, he waved his palm and sent the remaining Green Jade Life-Prolonging Pill to the cultivator surnamed Yu.

Seeing the last Eighth-tier Pill being obtained by someone.

The remaining six people all frowned, each feeling as if they had been betrayed.

They hadn't spoken up before, but it wasn't because they didn't want the Pill.

They were simply playing a psychological game with Wen Tiansheng, wanting to drive the price down.

This bastard actually dared to take advantage of the loophole!

"Daoist Friend Yu, an Eighth-tier Low-level Pill isn't worth such a high price; you spending so many resources to buy it is a bit irrational."

Someone looked at the cultivator surnamed Yu, their words seemingly filled with concern, but if one listened carefully, one could hear a trace of dissatisfaction and regret.

It seemed they regretted not being decisive enough and being beaten to it by someone else.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Yu's eyes flashed, and he laughed, "Everyone, my injuries are too severe; if I go back to the battlefield, I likely won't return."

"I am afraid of death."

"So what if the price of the Pill is a bit higher."

"You didn't want it and felt it wasn't worth it, but I felt I could buy it, so I did; there is nothing wrong with that, is there?"

Hearing the words of the cultivator surnamed Yu, everyone's expressions froze.

They felt like a mute eating coptis—unable to voice their bitterness.

Creak~

Just as the atmosphere inside the great hall was somewhat stagnant.

A figure walked in.

"Daoist Friend Luo."

Seeing the person arrive, everyone in the great hall spoke up one after another.

"Sacred Lord."

Meng Shan's eyes lit up, and he bowed toward the newcomer.

Luo Ling nodded to everyone one by one.

His gaze swept over the Sacred Palace Master, who hadn't moved in the slightest, and then he looked at Wen Tiansheng, saying indifferently, "Didn't Sect Master Wen say you knew an Alchemist and went to find that Alchemist? Why have you returned?"

"The Sacred Lord is unaware."

Before Wen Tiansheng could respond, Meng Shan spoke up first, "Sect Master Wen has already found his Alchemist friend, and has even had that Alchemist friend refine two Eighth-tier Pills."

"Of course, this so-called finding of an Alchemist is only what Daoist Friend Wen says; it has not been verified."

"As for those two Pills, whether they were refined by his Alchemist friend or if he just took out his own Pills to profit from the war, that remains unknown."

"However, the price at which Daoist Friend Wen sells his Pills is indeed quite outrageous."

By the time he finished speaking, a cold sneer appeared on his face.

Hearing Meng Shan's words, those few severely injured Great Vehicle Stage cultivators who hadn't obtained a Green Jade Life-Prolonging Pill also revealed cold sneers.

"Daoist Friend Meng's speculation has reminded us; Daoist Friend Wen, you wouldn't really be trying to profit from the war and lying to us, would you?"

"Is that Eighth-tier Pill really refined by your Alchemist friend? Or perhaps? Does your friend even exist?"

"What about next month, the month after next; you wouldn't be trying to stall for time, would you?"

……

Facing the somewhat aggressive tone of the crowd, Wen Tiansheng's expression remained as usual, "If you all do not believe it, you are welcome to go to my Beast Taming Sect to verify it."

"Of course, my Alchemist friend has a stubborn personality; if they find out the truth and get angry, and end up holding a grudge against someone, don't blame Wen for not warning you all."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, everyone's expressions changed in unison.

In truth, they already believed Wen Tiansheng; the reason they echoed Luo Ling was simply because they were indignant about the price of Wen Tiansheng's Pills and the fact that they hadn't been able to obtain one, subconsciously wanting to disgust Wen Tiansheng.

Who would risk offending an Alchemist over this matter?

Although an Alchemist might not necessarily be a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, if an Alchemist wanted to kill a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator.

It wouldn't be too difficult.

After all, there were plenty of Great Vehicle Stage cultivators who wanted to befriend an Alchemist.

Thinking of this, the crowd's eyes flickered, and they all retreated, with no one continuing to speak.

"Heh, since Daoist Friend Wen has said so, why not let me, Meng, go to the Beast Taming Sect to verify it."

Suddenly, a voice came.

Wen Tiansheng looked at Meng Shan indifferently, "Sorry, cultivators of Youyun Holy Land and dogs are not allowed to enter the Beast Taming Sect."

As soon as Wen Tiansheng finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present suddenly turned strange.

Meng Shan's face turned a shade of iron-blue, and he was just about to say something.

"Supreme Elder Meng, there is no need to engage in a pointless war of words with this person."

Luo Ling shook his head, stopping Meng Shan from speaking.

When it came to glibness, Wen Tiansheng alone was worth more than everyone else in the great hall combined.

Engaging in a war of words with him was meaningless.

To deal with such a person, one must use practical actions to strike him down.

Wasn't that old thief Wen Tiansheng trying to rely on the Eighth-Rank Alchemist behind him to make a fortune?

His own relationship with Ku Dashi happened to be quite good.

He would just borrow Pill from Ku Dashi and find a way to cut off his source of wealth, or make it impossible for him to obtain satisfactory gains.

He looked at Meng Shan and continued, "Ku Dashi's Pill has already been refined, and I have requested to purchase one for you from Ku Dashi."

After speaking, he waved his palm and sent a Jade Bottle before Meng Shan.

Afterward, he took out another Jade Bottle, "As for this Pill, it was also refined by Ku Dashi."

"He entrusted me to sell it to you all."

"You all must already be very clear about the selling price of Ku Dashi's Pill; who wants it?"

Originally, when Luo Ling sent the Pill refined by Ku Dashi to Meng Shan, the others were still looking on with faces full of envy.

Immediately following that.

When Luo Ling's subsequent words were heard, everyone reacted one after another and spoke up impatiently.

"I want it~"

"Me~"

……

Everyone spoke almost simultaneously.

Luo Ling looked around at the crowd, his gaze landing on one of them.

"Daoist Friend Yan spoke first; according to the rules, this Pill is sold to Daoist Friend Yan."

As he spoke, he sent the Jade Bottle to that person.

The Cultivator surnamed Yan looked delighted; he took out the Medicinal Herb to trade for the Pill, sent it to Luo Ling, and then impatiently gripped the Jade Bottle in his hand.

Seeing this, the others all revealed looks of envy.

The Cultivator surnamed Yan took out the Pill, examined it happily for a moment, and couldn't help but look smugly at the Great Vehicle Cultivator surnamed Yu who had previously purchased the Green Jade Life-Prolonging Pill.

A flash of mockery crossed his eyes.

"Daoist Friend Yu, I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I actually managed to snatch a Pill from Ku Dashi; tsk tsk, the price is not even half of yours."
