Chapter 520: Arrogant Before, Humble After

"Not bad! This Purple Cloud Pill was refined by me. I have six more here." "I don't know, does your esteemed chamber accept this?"

"Accept, of course we accept. Fellow Daoist, however many you have, we will accept them all." Li Ke nodded wildly upon hearing Su Fan's words, and the joy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

At the same time, his tone also began to change.

There was no longer that sense of being high and mighty, overbearing, as before.

Because he himself was very clear that facing a quasi-alchemy master, even with his Purple Mansion eighth-layer cultivation, it was not enough to look at.

The status of an alchemist is just this high, and once the other party's alchemy technique improves to the fourth grade...

Then he might not even have the chance to tie the other party's shoes. By that time, the other party would be a guest of honor for Golden Core Zhenren.

He was not clear about what the situation of this person was; perhaps he was a loose cultivator who was lucky enough to obtain the alchemy inheritance of his predecessors and had talent for alchemy himself, and then reached his current realm.

If this was truly the case, then it was his luck.

Such people are the easiest to win over, and the benefits they have always given to alchemists in the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce have always been very high.

Alchemists who join the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce have no complaints.

"Then I don't know how many spirit stones your esteemed chamber will pay for this one Purple Cloud Pill?"

Su Fan looked at the other party in surprise. What was the reason for this sudden joy?

Could it be the Purple Cloud Pill? This Purple Cloud Pill is a third-grade high-tier spirit pill, but with the scale of the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be considered too precious.

He couldn't figure out why the other party was so excited, but he didn't delve into it.

Of course, in Su Fan's heart, he also had some guesses.

"Eight thousand. Our Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce can accept all six of Fellow Daoist's Purple Cloud Pills at eight thousand each."

"Eight thousand?"

This price is actually not low. If it were other chambers of commerce or shops, they would absolutely not give such a high price.

The market price of the Purple Cloud Pill is also around nine thousand, less than ten thousand. Of course, at an auction, it might be higher.

Generally speaking, if major chambers of commerce acquire Purple Cloud Pills, the price will not exceed seven thousand spirit stones.

After all, they also have to make money.

And most cultivators who sell Purple Cloud Pills to major chambers of commerce have prices below seven thousand. At this price, they also don't make much.

In reality, most loose cultivator alchemists don't make much from a furnace of Purple Cloud Pills, and only those veteran third-grade high-tier alchemists have some profit.

Most, even those whose level is not very high, might even lose money.

Therefore, Purple Cloud Pills are also very rare in the market.

The reason Li Ke gave such a high price was also to curry favor with the other party and to facilitate winning the other party over.

Eight thousand for one Purple Cloud Pill—this acquisition price is generally for alchemists who belong to the interior of their chamber of commerce.

For outsiders? Sorry, major chambers of commerce will desperately suppress the price in order to suppress those loose cultivator alchemists.

Su Fan naturally did not know this point, but the other party giving this price also made Su Fan even more convinced of his guess.

"Haha! Then many thanks, Fellow Li Daoyou."

Su Fan naturally pretended not to know, bowed to thank him, and then took out the remaining five Purple Cloud Pills.

"In this case, I should be able to reach silver-level membership, right? Fellow Li Daoyou, then do I have the qualification to purchase that Profound Yang Warm Jade?"

"This is natural!"

Li Ke heard this and did not change the subject, but instead pretended not to know anything and asked a question: "I observe that Fellow Daoist is young and has such cultivation, and can also refine Purple Cloud Pills. You must have an extraordinary background, right?"

Su Fan saw through Li Ke's probing at a glance.

He had also completely understood what this guy was thinking—it was nothing more than seeing that he was a third-grade high-tier alchemist and wanting to win him over, or even invite him to join the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce.

Regarding this chamber of commerce, Su Fan had also naturally investigated it, and its reputation was considered not bad.

However, he would not easily agree to let him join the chamber of commerce and become an alchemist for the chamber of commerce.

Of course, he also knew that with his alchemy level, joining the chamber of commerce, at least in this East Eagle City, would certainly be valued.

By that time, obtaining various resources would inevitably be even simpler.

But Su Fan was even clearer that there was no free lunch in the world. If you obtain something, you need to pay something.

This is very normal. This Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce likes win-win situations, so the alchemists who join the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce live quite comfortably.

The chamber of commerce has never exploited those alchemists, and some alchemists have even reached the high levels of the chamber of commerce, belonging to the leadership layer.

Just like companies in later generations, those technical personnel eventually become shareholders and members of the board of directors, having certain rights.

With Su Fan's ability, he believed that if he joined the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, he would have such an opportunity. If so, perhaps he could accelerate the improvement of the Su Family's strength.

After all, the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce is a cross-state level force.

However, he would not join easily. After all, what he understood about the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce was only one-sided; who knew the true situation of the chamber of commerce? He would certainly take another look.

Now the most urgent thing is to first secure the Profound Yang Warm Jade.

So hearing Li Ke's inquiry, Su Fan already had a strategy in his heart and smiled calmly: "Fellow Li Daoyou is joking. I am not from a famous family. My family is just from a small family in a marginal small country, and the strongest in the family is only Purple Mansion."

Su Fan's words made Li Ke even more overjoyed. A small family is good; the smaller the family, or the more loose-cultivator-like the background, the easier it is for him to win them over and invite them to join the chamber of commerce.

After all, those from famous families don't lack resources at all, and what the chamber of commerce can give, those major clans also have the ability to give them.

Only alchemists from these small families or loose cultivator backgrounds are the targets of their chamber of commerce.

And ninety percent of the alchemists in their chamber of commerce are like this.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Ke said: "So that's how it is. However, Fellow Li Daoyou is also amazing. Reaching this stage without relying on a family—this talent is also rare."

"Fellow Li Daoyou purchasing Profound Yang Warm Jade this time is for the younger generation of the family to open the Purple Mansion?"

"Then I suppose Fellow Li Daoyou's family also needs Foundation Establishment Pills, right?"

"Oh, I forgot Fellow Li Daoyou is an alchemist. You should be able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills; you shouldn't lack Foundation Establishment Pills."

Li Ke kept probing. ===== CHAPTER 521 =====

"Fellow Li Daoyou, are you purchasing the Profound Yang Warm Jade this time to help a younger generation of your family open their Purple Mansion?"

"Thinking about it, your family must also be in need of Foundation Establishment Pills, right?"

"Oh, I forgot that Fellow Li Daoyou is an alchemist. You should be able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills yourself, so you shouldn't be lacking them."

Li Ke kept probing with side remarks.
