Chapter 468: The Harvest Begins

"Daoist Friend Wang, are you playing me?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xin Yu's expression immediately turned ugly.

"Wang was merely testing you, Daoist Friend." Wang Jianqiang curled his lip.

Xin Yu's face was as dark as water.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on her body, and a spirit robe covered her.

The current Wang Jianqiang was no longer what he used to be.

Not only was he a powerful Alchemist, but rumor had it that he also had a very deep friendship with the City Lord.

Although she was angry to the extreme in her heart, she had absolutely no way to deal with Wang Jianqiang.

Fortunately, although this trip had left her full of pent-up anger, it was not without gains.

She took a deep breath, forced her expression to calm down, and reached out her palm toward Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, regardless of anything else, I have already done as you said before; bring me the Perfect Pill you promised."

Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly, "It is just a Pill; Wang is not so petty as to go back on his word."

As he spoke, he casually took out a Pill and tossed it to Xin Yu.

Xin Yu excitedly caught the Pill and began to inspect it impatiently.

A moment later.

Her expression turned black.

The Pill Wang Jianqiang gave her was not a Fourth-tier Pill, but a Third-tier Pill.

And damn it, it was for cultivation.

She had already manifested her Will.

Ordinary Fourth-tier Pills had already lost their effect on her; what use was a Third-tier Pill?

She looked at Wang Jianqiang and said, trying her best to suppress her tone, "Daoist Friend Wang, did you take the wrong Pill?"

"No."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Is this not a Perfect Pill? It is a Third-tier Intermediate Perfect Pill; a Golden Core Stage cultivator taking one can equal over ten years of bitter cultivation."

Even though Xin Yu was trying her best to suppress her rage, she almost exploded after hearing this, "Daoist Friend Wang, I am a Third-tier Will Cultivator, what use is a Third-tier Pill to me?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lip, "What use it is to you is none of Wang's business."

"Wang only said I would give you a Perfect Pill; I never said it would definitely be one you could use."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xin Yu immediately realized.

This bastard had only been playing with her from the very beginning!

Her expression turned ugly.

She glared fiercely at Wang Jianqiang and turned to leave.

Wang Jianqiang watched Xin Yu's departing back and curled his lip.

He casually closed the door.

The next day.

A piece of news spread throughout Wenxian City.

Master Wang would be refining Pills for the cultivators of Wenxian City, and anyone would have the chance to obtain a Perfect Pill.

The entire Wenxian City was abuzz.

However, because the "processing fee" was not cheap.

Everyone could only suppress the urgency in their hearts and wait for the rewards from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to arrive.

Another seven days passed.

The rewards from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace for those who rendered meritorious service in this great battle finally arrived.

That night.

Linglong specifically called Wang Jianqiang to the City Lord's Mansion to personally distribute the rewards for Wang Jianqiang's meritorious service in the great battle, as well as the reward for setting up another layer of the City Protection Array for Wenxian City.

With the two merits combined, Wang Jianqiang received a total of 100,000 High-level Desolate Beads, 5,000 King-level Desolate Beads, and a large batch of Medicinal Herbs, Spirit Minerals, and other various resources.

After Wang Jianqiang put away the rewards.

Linglong handed him the materials needed for setting up the Formation.

Afterward, Wang Jianqiang began a five-day purification for Linglong.

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang left.

When he arrived in front of his residence, he found that it was already packed with people outside.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang return.

The crowd swarmed up one after another.

"Master Wang, you have finally returned."

"Master Wang, I want to ask you to refine a Pill."

"I have already prepared the Medicinal Herbs and the processing fee."

Regarding this crowded scene, Wang Jianqiang seemed to have anticipated it long ago.

He was not surprised in the slightest.

He looked at the noisy crowd and frowned, "Everyone, do not be anxious; line up properly."

However, as his voice fell, the effect was not obvious, and the crowd continued to squeeze toward him.

"Whoever does not line up will immediately have their qualification to purchase Pills canceled; I want to see who is treating Wang's words as a breeze past their ears!"

Wang Jianqiang let out a cold snort, his body rose into the air, and he looked around.

The crowd was suddenly in a state of chaos.

After a short moment.

The originally noisy and disorderly crowd had already formed a long line, and no one even dared to whisper to each other.

The scene was completely silent.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction, came to the front of the line, and left behind a Jade Slip.

"Everyone, prepare your service fees and Alchemy materials, and register and pay in turn."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, someone in the crowd spoke up in surprise, "Master Wang, isn't the service fee supposed to be paid in person when the Alchemy is performed?"

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "With so many of you, how could I, Wang, have the time to receive you one by one?"

"Pay the fee first, then the Alchemy will be performed, and then come to collect the pills on the date I specify."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, another voice came from the crowd, "Master Wang, isn't this inappropriate? If we hand over the service fees and Alchemy raw materials to you, what if you renege on the deal?"

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "Take it or leave it; I, Wang, am not begging you."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the person who spoke immediately revealed a look of anger.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, reached out and pointed at that person, "You, leave now; I, Wang, do not want to perform Alchemy for you anymore."

"Wang Jianqiang, what do you mean by this?"

That person's expression changed, "I, Gou, am only thinking of everyone's interests. If you have nothing to hide, why the need to get angry and embarrassed?"

As this person's voice fell.

Beside him, several men spoke up one after another.

"Master Wang, Brother Gou was just asking a casual question, why get angry?"

"That's right, Master Wang, why be so petty?"

"Master Wang, the notice you issued clearly stated that you would perform Alchemy for all the Cultivators in the city, but now you are wantonly expelling Daoist Friend Gou; this is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

……

Hearing the words coming from the crowd.

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips and reached out to point out those few people who had spoken one by one.

"You, you, you, and you few, all leave."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's words came out.

The few people who had been talking eloquently just a moment ago had their expressions change simultaneously.

"Master Wang, what do you mean by this?"

"Master Wang, leave a way out for others so that we may meet again in the future."

"Exactly, so many Daoist Friends are watching; Master Wang, you are being somewhat irrational."

……

Listening to the babbling voices of those few people, Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"You're not leaving, are you?"

He swept his gaze across the crowd and said indifferently, "When these few people disappear, then we will register for Alchemy."

"Otherwise……"

"None of you will have these pills refined."

After speaking, Wang Jianqiang turned and walked into his residence.
