extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chances of success are small for the alchemists at Wanli Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they rarely refine high-level elixirs,” The shopkeeper explained with a grin before adding, “If you can make the high-level elixirs we need, I can buy them back at a high price, or it can be used as a compensation for the missing five million Xianling Stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed and said, “Okay, now tell me, what types of high-level elixirs that you need and their respective prices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the shopkeeper didn’t believe in Lin Chen’s ability to make high-level elixirs at such a young age, Lin Chen was after all a guest who had paid five million spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, he gave the names of several high-level elixirs that the sea-bottom demon cultivators currently needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the shopkeeper’s price quotes, Lin Chen laughed, “Even if I refine them, I don’t necessarily have to sell them to Sea Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can sell them by myself, don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper’s face changed slightly, but he knew that Lin Chen was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on the continent, these pills were in high demand, let alone in this seabed demon city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Chen really could refine them, Demon cultivators who wanted to buy would likely line up in droves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sea Flower is the largest shop in the entire Western Market, it does not mean that it is the only shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also has competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper blinked and quickly thought of a solution, “How about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will not buy them from you directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can sell all the elixirs you make in my Sea Flower store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea Flower only takes 20% of the selling price, the rest is all yours, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s proceed in this way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed and said, “I’ll write a list, you can get me these medicinal herbs, and I can start refining now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wrote a list of medicinal herbs, the shopkeeper took it and confidently said, “All will be available no later than tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “The spirit stones for buying the medicinal herbs…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper grinned, “We can add up the cost when you refine the elixirs and sell them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lin Chen had already paid five million spirit stones in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to take the Blue Charm Demon Crystal, he needed to pay the remaining balance, so the shopkeeper was not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Lin Chen’s calm demeanor as he gave the list of herbs, portraying an assured attitude, the boss’s initial suspicion began to shake a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was a guest at Wanli Palace, which suggested a high social status, and the man casually took out five million Xianling Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Chen could really refine high-grade elixirs and he lands this opportunity, it would be of great benefit to Sea Flower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she was telling the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t quite believe it, he had nothing to lose, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they came to an agreement, Lin Chen and the others left Sea Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much can you make by refining those elixirs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed and said, “Under conditions of guaranteed success, it’s not an infinite profit, but at least a tenfold profit is certainly achievable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t exaggerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the raw materials for the three high-level elixirs Lin Chen chose to refine were quite valuable, they were not regarded as rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world isn’t lacking these elixir materials, what’s lacking is the competent alchemists capable of successfully refining them into elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be a few alchemists who can guarantee the success rate, but these alchemists are all highly respected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they refine high-level elixirs, they first meet the needs of their own sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where would they sell extra elixirs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wandering around, Lin Chen and the others returned to the palace at dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Li prepared a sumptuous dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying Ao Li at the banquet was a stunningly beautiful young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my wife, Liu Xueying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was taken aback, glancing over at Yao Xuanji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexpected look flashed in Yao Xuanji’s eyes, who then smiled slightly, “Nice to meet you, Auntie Liu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Li naturally noticed the slight surprise on their faces and simply stated, “Xuanji, you must’ve heard my story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought Xueying had died, but in reality…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she was close to death, but she didn’t die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen and others were taken by surprise, resolving their doubts on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend had it that Ao Li, the love of a human cultivator, was not tolerated by the Dragon Clan so they sent people to hunt down Ao Li and killed his lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Li went on a killing spree, completely broke off with the Dragon Clan, hidaway in the South Sea and avoided the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it turns out that his lover didn’t die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji laughed happily and said, “When I heard about this from my father, I was very upset, but now I am really glad to know that Auntie Liu is fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xueying smiled at Yao Xuanji, “We’ve never met before, why were you upset?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an earnest look, Yao Xuanji said, “The two were deeply in love but were ruthlessly torn apart, separated by death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was upset by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now knowing that Uncle Ao and Auntie Liu were eventually destined to be together, naturally, I am overjoyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Yao Xuanji’s words, Liu Xueying’s gaze upon him softened, with a hint of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yao Xuanji’s sadness and joy were because of a past love story and not specifically about Liu Xueying herself, her words resonated with Liu Xueying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How cruel is it to not be able to be with the person one loves?\u003C\u002Fp>",980,"2026-06-06T01:52:09.112Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c771a4538ed61073648554171b472062d7f7fa90aefc65955ba440ffbd65365","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1527","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1525",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
