Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1722 - 1721: Exchange

"Boom!"

With the Pill Sect Valley’s natural formation activating once more, the entire mountain seemed to be sealed shut again at that moment.

Witnessing this scene, the crowd finally dispersed.

The young man from South Heaven Sect looked uncertain.

He had intended to impress the Pill Sect, leaving a good impression, but unexpectedly, his attempt had nearly angered the Pill Sect.

After standing in place for a moment, he glanced toward the Pill Sect Valley, gritted his teeth slightly, and departed with his entourage.

Meanwhile, the fat man stood there, dumbfounded, unable to comprehend that his dream goddess, Lin Ruoxuan, actually knew this ugly man.

Could it be that his words were true, that Lin Ruoxuan... was waiting for Su Baliu?

...

When the crowd outside dispersed, Su Han followed the people of Pill Sect Valley and entered.

Pill Sect Valley, resembling a paradise outside of the world, seemed like a small valley within the mountain from the outside, but inside it was a place of floral springs and flowing streams, with small animals around.

Upon entering Pill Sect Valley, Su Han was immediately hit by the rich scent of medicinal herbs. As he turned to look around, he saw that all around the valley there were herb gardens, filled with medicinal herbs—First Grade, Second Grade, and even Third Grade. Su Han even spotted a few Fourth Grade herbs and one Fifth Grade herb!

Each herb garden was equipped with a Spirit Gathering Array, the size of which varied according to the herb grade.

Looking up, one could see thick white clouds condensing above the Spirit Gathering Array, as spiritual energy almost materialized, being infused into these herb gardens.

The Spirit Gathering Array was not unusual, merely that the cost in spirit crystals varied with size.

Just this one elixir auction had yielded over five trillion spirit crystals for Pill Sect Valley, these few Spirit Gathering Arrays hardly mattered.

"Brother Su, how do you find the environment here?" Xu Nuo asked with a smile, always maintaining a friendly demeanor toward Su Han.

"Not bad," Su Han praised.

"If that Heaven-Defying Pill was truly refined by you, Brother Su, with your attainment in alchemy, you are entirely qualified to become Master’s disciple."

Xu Nuo glanced at Medicine Abyss, seeing that he didn’t respond, indicating his tacit agreement with his words.

He continued, "Wouldn’t Brother Su consider it? You’ve seen Master’s fame across the Lower-Class Star Region with this grand event; if you could become Master’s disciple, many forces might offer you an olive branch."

Su Han slightly shook his head, saying, "I prefer to walk my own path and have many matters to attend to. If I were to apprentice under the Pill Sect, it would be in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Nuo revealed a touch of disappointment.

Medicine Abyss remained expressionless, but beside him, Han Tengfei snorted coldly. The sound was faint, yet clear to Su Han’s ears. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After passing through the corridors and pavilions, everyone finally arrived at a grass-and-wood house.

Pill Sect Valley was vast, but lacked palace-like buildings, consisting only of these grass-and-wood houses.

Though simple in appearance, they were extremely luxurious inside; from the furnishings alone, one could discern the vast wealth of Pill Sect Valley.

"Have a seat."

Medicine Abyss sat at the main seat, motioning for Su Han to sit.

Su Han accepted the invitation without reservation, sitting down and looking at Medicine Abyss.

"You say this is a Mythical Rank Pill?" Medicine Abyss asked.

"Yes."

Su Han nodded, "The pure power of heaven and earth inside is abundant; I believe with Pill Sect’s discernment, it’s easily apparent."

Medicine Abyss chuckled, stating, "Aren’t you worried that I’ll kill you here at Pill Sect Valley and seize your pill?"

"I don’t think so."

Su Han shook his head, "An alchemist must have a benevolent heart; I can see that you’re not such a person, and besides, I possess unique insights into many pills and pill formulas, something you might wish to know. Most importantly..."

Su Han’s eyes swept over the people present, pausing slightly before revealing a confident smile.

"If I don’t want to die, there’s probably no one in the Lower-Class Star Region who can kill me."

With these words, the grass-and-wood house fell silent for a moment.

Both Xu Nuo and Medicine Abyss shook their heads with smiles, seemingly finding Su Han to be somewhat arrogant.

Han Tengfei, on the other hand, showed coldness in his eyes, staring at Su Han as if issuing a warning.

Only Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes erupted with brilliance.

"That tone and the confidence interwoven in his words, he really resembles the person she described..."

Lin Ruoxuan murmured in her heart, "Moreover, the name is exactly the same; could it really be him? But his appearance... shouldn’t be like this!"

"Alright, I’m not one to act impulsively out of greed."

Medicine Abyss was silent for a moment and then said, "To be honest, such a pill, even I am reluctant to consume. Besides, even if consumed, at just the second grade, its effect isn’t substantial for me. I desire this Heaven-Defying Pill and the Mythical Rank Pill solely for research purposes."

Su Han listened quietly.

"Thus, these two kinds of pills, only having one of each is indeed insufficient."

Medicine Abyss continued, "In case during my research these two pills explode, further investigation would be impossible."

He was probing, probing whether Su Han had more.

Su Han was very direct, asking Medicine Abyss, "How many do you need, Master?"

"You really have more!"

Medicine Abyss’s face broke into a smile, "How many do you think the Fusion Pill is worth?"

Su Han pondered, flipping his palm to produce two more jade bottles.

"Inside these two jade bottles, one contains Heaven-Defying Pills, the other Mythical Rank Pills, each with two pills. Together with the ones you hold, Master, each pill totals three pieces."

Su Han said, "This is the utmost I can offer; what do you think, Master?"

Medicine Abyss stared at the jade bottles, eyes gleaming brightly.

The Fusion Pill may have been auctioned for a high price, but its true value was well known to him.

And the cost of producing a Fusion Pill was something Medicine Abyss understood even more intimately!

For those who couldn’t refine pills, the Fusion Pill was indeed precious; however, for Medicine Abyss, who could produce Fusion Pills, while still valuable, it held less weight.

"Here’s what I’ll propose..."

Medicine Abyss said, "I will give you one Lower Fifth Grade Pill, and you give me ten Mythical Rank Pills and ten Heaven-Defying Pills. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the three disciples beside him showed surprise.

Were these two types of pills truly that valuable?

Su Han shook his head, saying, "You overestimate, Master. Firstly, I don’t have that many Mythical Rank and Heaven-Defying Pills. What I’ve presented is my entire stock. Secondly, while a Fifth Grade Pill is extremely precious, worth countless fortunes, it is presently useless to me, holding it would only invite mortal danger."
