C521 River Lake Liar
In the Fourth Heaven, the Pill Master was the most respected person. No one was willing to become enemies with the Pill Master. It was a chaotic city filled with desperate people. Many martial artists were willing to kill for a Medicine Pill and become enemies with the Pill Master. They had to be prepared to be hunted down by countless powerhouses.
With the big man as an example, no one dared to bargain anymore. Although the Medicine Pill that Lee Lo sold was expensive, it was still within the acceptable range of many people. They gritted their teeth and bought it.
Very quickly, most of the Medicine Pill in the stall were sold. Only two bottles were ridiculously expensive, and a bottle of Medicine Pill that no one really needed had yet to be sold.
The number of people surrounding the stall became fewer and fewer. After a while, only Wang Hao was left.
Lee Lo yawned and prepared to close the stall. He looked at Wang Hao and said, "If you don't like it, come again next time."
"Let me see again."
Wang Hao squatted down and casually opened a jade bottle. He poured the Medicine Pill into his palm.
There were a total of three Medicine Pills. All of them were Earth Rank Grade One Medicine Pill and Green Carrot Pill with healing effects.
The Green Carrot Pill was sold for 1.3 million stones in the shopping center system, which was equivalent to 13 Essence Crystal. Lee Lo only sold 12 Essence Crystal.
Considering the price of the items sold in the shopping center system was slightly more expensive than in real life, the price Lee Lo wanted wasn't too high.
Those martial artists who shouted that it was expensive, firstly, they did not know alchemy. The higher the grade of Medicine Pill, the higher the chances of failure. Take the Yin Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill as an example. A Essence Crystal and a treasured ginseng were indeed cheap. However, if one failed a few times, three Medicine Pills would be sold for ten Essence Crystals. It was very reasonable.
Secondly, it was hard to survive in the Fourth Heaven without money, and it was also hard to obtain money. Those martial artists were just unwilling to part with it.
Lee Lo's pricing was very appropriate. If it was a little more expensive, no one would be willing to buy it. If it was a little lower, it would be a loss.
It was also because of this that Wang Hao had doubts in his heart. If Lee Lo's alchemy skills were very good, why didn't he refine a higher grade Medicine Pill and sell it to a major power? If his alchemy skills were average... The failure rate of refining these Medicine Pills was definitely not low. Such a low price... He didn't seem to earn much.
Wang Hao put the Medicine Pill in his palm closer to the tip of his nose and sniffed. The pill fragrance assailed his nose and was very good to smell.
Wang Hao himself also knew alchemy. Although his alchemy skill had only reached the beginner level four, he still had a basic foundation. He discovered that the fragrance of the Medicine Pill was a little faint.
He thought to himself, "There's a problem with this Medicine Pill!"
"True Dragon Eye!"
Wang Hao activated the True Dragon Eye. Golden dragon marks appeared in his left eye.
The True Dragon Eye could see the essence of things, and the Medicine Pill was no exception. Soon, the detailed composition of the Medicine Pill was displayed in front of his eyes.
Wang Hao raised his head and looked at Lee Lo. A strange smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Wang Hao's mysterious smile, Lee Lo felt a chill run down his spine. He forced himself to be calm and said, "I'm going to close the stall. If you don't buy it, then return the Medicine Pill to me."
Wang Hao lowered his voice and said teasingly, "If I find the person who just bought the Medicine Pill and tell them that they bought fake medicine, what interesting things will happen?"
With this sentence, Lee Lo immediately became nervous. He was obviously feeling guilty.
These Medicine Pills were just like what Wang Hao had said. There was a problem with them, but he could not admit it no matter what.
He deliberately scolded angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting!?"
Looking at Lee Lo's fierce appearance, Wang Hao calmly said, "The Medicine Pill you sell have healing effects, but it is not because these kinds of Medicine Pills have the most demand, but because it is the hardest to be discovered if you fake it."
"For example, this Earth Rank Second Grade Green Carrot Pill. Its essence is a Profound Rank Grade Nine Blood Tempering Pill, but you added the juice of the spiritual herb Green Carrot, making it look and smell like a Green Carrot Pill. “
"There are very few Level Four Pill Masters. Most of the ordinary warriors have never seen a real Green Carrot Pill. Plus, the Blood Tempering Pill also has healing effects, so you easily fooled them."
"This is also why you set up a stall in front of a teahouse and not directly sell it to a larger influence. It is because a large influence has a supply of Pill Master or people who have seen the world. With a single glance, they will expose your scam!"
"To put it bluntly, you are a swindler!"
Lee Lo's eyes slightly narrowed, and his body was somewhat stiff.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Lee Lo took a deep breath and threatened, "Have you thought about the consequences of offending a Pill Master?"
Wang Hao played with the Medicine Pill in his hand with interest, "Threatening me? If your confidence is those fellows who wanted to buy your Medicine Pill just now, I advise you to save your worries. Let's not talk about whether they can kill me or not. If I were to say just now... If I tell them what I said, there will always be one or two people who will doubt me. "
"It's not difficult to expose your lies. When the time comes, have you thought about the consequences?"
Lee Lo was terrified. Of course, he had thought about the consequences of being exposed.
With the fastest speed, he put the stall into the Essence Ring and pulled Wang Hao into the teahouse.
When the waiter of the teahouse saw Lee Lo, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Li Pill Master, are you still drinking the good Turquoise Conch Spring today?"
"Prepare a single room for me and my friend. Be quiet."
The waiter quickly arranged everything. Lee Lo carefully checked the room to avoid hearing from the other side of the wall.
Wang Hao leisurely sipped his tea and did not seem to be in a hurry to change the topic.
Lee Lo sat opposite of Wang Hao and lowered his voice, "What do you want to do to keep the secret for me?"
Wang Hao knocked on the table and was not in a hurry to speak. He wanted to wait for Lee Lo to give him the bargaining chip.
As expected, Lee Lo was the first to lose his cool. He stretched out a finger and offered an extremely attractive price.
"Sealing fee, one hundred Essence Crystals!"
One hundred Essence Crystals was equivalent to ten million Essence Crystals. This price was equivalent to the sweet spring water in the desert to Wang Hao, who was in urgent need of Primary Stones.
However, Wang Hao shook his head.
Lee Lo gritted his teeth and angrily squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "One hundred and fifty Essence Crystals!"
Wang Hao still shook his head.
Lee Lo was furious, "Don't go too far!"
Wang Hao said with a smile, "I don't want your Essence Crystal."
Lee Lo was puzzled, "If you don't want the Essence Crystal, then what do you want?"
"First, I just came here and need a place to settle down. The requirements aren't high, and I can't be disturbed while cultivating."
Upon hearing Wang Hao's request, Lee Lo heaved a sigh of relief, and agreed readily.
"I have a property that I bought when I just arrived at the Fourth Heaven. Although it's a little shabby, it's absolutely quiet. It's very suitable for cultivation. I'll give it to you."
Wang Hao nodded his head in satisfaction. "Secondly, I want you to teach me alchemy."
Lee Lo was stunned. He only reacted after a while. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Wang Hao was very serious. He repeated every word, "I want you to teach me alchemy."
Lee Lo stared at Wang Hao. He was sure that Wang Hao was not messing with him.
"What a joke! Although I, Lee Lo, am unable to refine an Earth Rank Medicine Pill, refining a Profound Rank Grade Nine Medicine Pill is a piece of cake for me. But do you know how long I have cultivated at this level?"
"One hundred and twenty years! I started cultivating alchemy at the age of ten, and it has been one hundred and twenty years since then. However, I am still unable to successfully refine an Earth Rank Medicine Pill!"
"You want to learn alchemy? That's easy for you to say. I don't have the patience to teach you for a hundred years!"
Wang Hao shook his head. "You misunderstood. I only need you to engrave the alchemy skills you know in detail into the Jade Cylinder. As for how to cultivate and whether you can succeed, that's my problem."
Lee Lo hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.
"A Pill Master refinement legacy can indeed be sold for a good price in the Fourth Heaven. I promise you."
He paused for a moment and continued, "But this matter will have to wait for three months. I still have something very important to do."
"It's fine." Wang Hao did not mind. "I also have something important to do."
The two of them reached an agreement. Lee Lo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart that his secret wouldn't be exposed.
It wasn't that he didn't have the intention of spending money to buy Wang Hao's life, but for some reason, when he saw the confident expression on Wang Hao's face, he gave up on the idea.
He comforted himself in his heart, "It's just that I lost a property that was not worth much money. Just take it as my bad luck!"
Lee Lo brought Wang Hao to an old house. For some reason, there wasn't a house around this old house, which was particularly abrupt.
Without waiting for Wang Hao to ask, Lee Lo explained, "This old house is the residence of a Great Sovereign from 600 years ago. However, this Great Sovereign died and the old house was abandoned."
"The cultivation technique of this Great Sovereign is very strange. It's rumored that this is a vicious mansion. There were a few descendants of the Great Sovereign who died, but no one was willing to buy this land. Furthermore, no one is willing to live nearby, so it's extremely desolate. "
"I just arrived at the Fourth Heaven and was extremely poor, so I dared to rent it. I didn't find anything unusual, so I thought it was just a rumor that people were trying to scare themselves."
"There are still more than ten years left before the lease for this ancient residence. Now, it is yours to live in."
"Three months later, I will send over the Jade Cylinder that recorded my alchemy techniques."
Wang Hao nodded his head. He had gotten hold of Lee Lo's weakness. He wasn't afraid that Lee Lo wouldn't keep his promise.
After Lee Lo left, Wang Hao stepped into the old mansion. The mansion was badly damaged. Many of the jade tiles on the roof were broken, but one could still vaguely see the luxurious decoration. It used to be the residence of a wealthy man.
"Golden Pupil!"
Wang Hao lit the Golden Pupil and carefully inspected every corner of the old mansion. He didn't find any mechanisms or any other abnormalities.
"Murderous mansion? Someone actually believed such a rumor."
Wang Hao tidied up a room and started to meditate.
He took a look at the experience bar displayed by the system. His current level was 1168654 / 2000000.
"Is there still 840000 experience points left to increase my level? Fourth level Earth Yuan Qi is so abundant every day. Three months is more than enough time for me to advance to the second level."
"I've already cultivated to the peak of fifth level of the Nine Dragon Spell. It's time to break through to the sixth level and activate the sixth Dragon Son Bloodline!"
