You're Right, I'm Numb! Completely Numb!
The Grand Elder did not instruct Shen Chun to investigate the Medicine King Palace, nor did he instruct him to investigate any of the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
The Grand Elder has complete trust in the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Even Mu Bai was completely bewildered, but he never considered that it was one of his own family members who had leaked it.
Mu Bai knew that although everyone in the Muyue Kingdom knew the refining method, Mu Bai dared to say that not a single person in the Muyue Kingdom would leak it!
There's no reason needed, it's just absolute trust!
Mu Bai would never doubt any of his fellow disciples!
The Grand Elder naturally had no doubts...
Shen Chun's investigation was open to the public, but as the results came out, the Grand Elder was stunned!
What the heck? Someone sold the refining technique for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill for only three or five hundred spirit stones?
It might even be a method of refining the Heaven-Stealing Elixir using Eternal Life Jade Talisman Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill Talisman?
Who is this? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
The Grand Elder's first reaction to the loss of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill's refining technique was, "Has the An Ying reappeared?"
After all, among the Four Continents today, only An Ying can come and go without a trace in the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
If you were to say that An Ying once again infiltrated the Vast Heaven Holy Land and obtained the refining method for the Heaven- Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, the Grand Elder wouldn't entirely disbelieve it.
In response to this suspicion, Shen Chun said, "If that's true, then I'll have no choice but to commit suicide to atone for my sins..."
As the Intelligence Hall, I was previously An Ying by the Shadow's unchecked power. If they were to reappear now, would I even survive?
The Grand Elder quickly dismissed this doubt!
Because the Grand Elder understands An Ying, who, as everyone knows, An Ying the Evil Spirit Hero!
Every time An Ying infiltrates the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they risk their lives to rebuild Vast Heaven Holy Land!
How could An Ying possibly do anything to harm the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
That's Evil Spirit Hero An Ying, a man who's been working himself to the bone to build up the Vast Heaven Holy Land ever since he arrived here!
A man whose life's goal is to build the Vast Heaven Holy Land...
Therefore, the Grand Elder quickly ruled out An Ying as a suspect.
Although there has been no news of An Ying for a long time, the Grand Elder said that based on what An Ying has done in the past, An Ying will definitely have a place in Vast Heaven Holy Land!
How can we doubt the An Ying?
The An Ying faction really went all out to help our Vast Heaven Holy Land...
Are we hurting An Ying's feelings by questioning An Ying like this?
The question is, if it wasn't An Ying, then who leaked the recipe for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill?
Watching the many powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Holy Land discussing amongst themselves, Chu Xinghe remained silent...
What the hell? Why don't I, Chu Xinghe, admit it and accept the punishment?
You seem to underestimate my status in the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Believe me or not, I'll tell the Grand Elder right now that it was I, Chu Xinghe, who leaked the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill. The Grand Elder immediately said that Xinghe's actions must have a backup plan. Let's Watch Quietly as Things Change!
Watch Quietly as Things Change. Signs of human-to-human transmission have already appeared in the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
So Chu Xinghe said he wouldn't say anything. He would just wait patiently for the other parties to refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill. If the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill of our Vast Heaven Holy Land couldn't be sold, then we were doomed!
Don't you think this is the safest possible loss?
So at this moment, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Senior Brother Shen Chun, let's not go into how the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill was leaked, but how many alchemists have refined the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill now?"
Hearing Junior Brother Xinghe's words, Shen Chun nodded and said, "Junior Brother Xinghe, this may be the only good news. So far, no alchemist has been able to refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!"
Chu Xinghe: "???"
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... What the hell are these alchemists from the Four Continents doing?!
You've had this Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill refining technique in your hands for so long, and you haven't managed to refine a single one? Aren't you guys being a little too outrageous?
Chu Xinghe knew Mu Bai was a pervert, but Chu Xinghe didn't think Mu Bai could be the only pervert in the Four Continents, right?
Among the alchemists of these Four Continents, there are definitely many super strong individuals; even someone like Palace Master Wu Qun cannot be considered the top-tier.
The side of the Witch Curse Evil Spirits is full of experts!
Under these circumstances, how come they've obtained the technique for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill but haven't managed to refine anything after all this time?
Is this even reasonable?
Not to mention Chu Xinghe, all the big shots from Vast Heaven Holy Land were staring at Shen Chun with completely bewildered expressions!
"Is the information accurate?" Elder He also looked puzzled!
"Elder He, it's absolutely true. So far, there hasn't been a single 'Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill' appearing on the market, not even a substandard one!"
Shen Chun's answer sparked a great deal of discussion among the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Chu Xinghe was completely baffled by this result...
But Chu Xinghe said not to panic, and to let the refining technique develop for a while!
It's certain that everyone is not fully familiar with each other yet. Once everyone is completely familiar with each other, the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill will definitely be released.
Just as Chu Xinghe remained calm, disciples from the Vast Heaven Holy Land entered through the door.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Qin Xiangqian requests an audience!"
"Qin Xiangqian?" The Grand Elder was slightly taken aback, then gestured to his disciple to let Qin Xiangqian in.
It's important to understand that although Qin Xiangqian now holds a high position in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, to be honest, he's not qualified to attend a meeting of this level.
Only Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang could attend this level of meeting normally, as Ma Liang was still recovering from his injuries and naturally couldn't come.
Even the rest, like Mu Bai Shen Chun, were only able to appear in this setting because they were involved with them.
Therefore, unless there was some important matter at hand, Qin Xiangqian would never have requested an audience at this time!
Soon, Qin Xiangqian rushed in from outside!
"Greetings, Grand Elder, Greetings to all Elders, Greetings to Senior Brother Xinghe!"
After Qin Xiangqian entered, he first bowed respectfully to everyone.
When Qin Xiangqian bowed, everyone realized something was wrong... because Qin Xiangqian's face was full of smiles!
"Rise, Xiangqian. Is there anything important today?" the elder asked slowly.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, there is indeed an important matter. Xiangqian would like to ask if the Grand Elder, the other elders, and Senior Brother Xinghe were discussing the matter of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill today?"
The Grand Elder nodded slightly.
Seeing the Grand Elder nod, Qin Xiangqian said with a joyful expression, "Congratulations, Grand Elder! We've made a fortune this time because of this Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!"
The audience. "???"
Chu Xinghe: "??????"
I don't know how the others reacted at this moment, but Chu Xinghe was saying, "Old Qin, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
The method for refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill was leaked by me Chu Xinghe, myself...
I flipped the table right then and there!
I flipped the table, and you're telling me we made a killing this time?
You know what you're saying is absolutely inhuman!
Not to mention Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded, even the Grand Elder was staring at Qin Xiangqian with a face full of question marks...
The Grand Elder also felt that what Qin Xiangqian said was somewhat outrageous!
However, the Grand Elder knew very well that even if Qin Xiangqian had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to talk such nonsense in this situation.
Just as everyone was stunned, Qin Xiangqian waved his hand and released a series of account books from his Qiankun Ring!
With the emergence of these ledgers, Qin Xiangqian began to explain why he had made a fortune!
As everyone knows, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Four Continents. Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has a wide variety of goods, but to be honest, the most profitable goods are usually only a small part of the business.
Most products aren't unprofitable, but rather they lack a market.
For example, the medicinal herbs!
Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce offers high-quality medicinal herbs at competitive prices, making it the top choice for many alchemists. However, only a very small percentage of the herbs from Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce are profitable.
Unfortunately, most alchemists only need basic medicinal materials, which don't have a high profit margin.
As for those high-grade medicinal herbs, alchemists, due to various reasons of their lack of skill, have no use for them.
Therefore, although Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce makes money from medicinal herbs, it doesn't make a lot of money.
Because for basic medicinal herbs, it's not necessarily necessary to buy them from Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce; it might be cheaper to buy them in Pine City.
However, the demand for medium-grade medicinal herbs is small, so even though the profit margin is high, few are sold.
As for high-grade medicinal herbs, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce doesn't have any competitors, but the problem is... the demand for these things is so low that it's not profitable at all!
Therefore, in this situation, the profit margin for medicinal herbs is, in Qin Xiangqian's words, "Not bad."
But recently, for some reason, people from all Qin Xiangqian have been flocking to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to buy all sorts of high-grade medicinal herbs!
Qin Xiangqian was completely dumbfounded. These high-grade medicinal herbs usually sold for more in a single day than he did in half a year!
In addition to high-grade medicinal herbs, there are also some rare and discontinued medicinal herbs that are being sold out in a cool way!
It's important to know that these rare medicinal herbs are truly only found in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so they are only sold in limited quantities by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
In the past month, we barely sold any, but now they're all gone in a single day!
Qin Xiangqian was initially stunned, but after news spread that the method of refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill had been exposed, Qin Xiangqian understood!
Aren't these people buying high-grade and even rare medicinal herbs the very ones needed for refining various Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill?
All these people are rushing to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to buy medicinal herbs in order to refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!
After all, the medicinal materials needed for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill are not something that ordinary alchemists can easily find.
In the Four Continents today, if you want to acquire these medicinal herbs in large quantities, it's estimated that only the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has the capability!
Therefore, in just half a month, all the high-grade medicinal materials in the major Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Four Continents were sold out!
Many people are even willing to pay extra to buy it!
Therefore, the booklet that Qin Xiangqian took out at this moment was full of records and profits from the sale of high-grade and rare medicinal materials by Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!
For ordinary medicinal herbs, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce only profits 20% due to Senior Brother Xinghe's influence!
The profit margin for intermediate-grade medicinal herbs is about 30%. This price was set by Senior Brother Xinghe to prevent everyone from wasting money.
But the prices of high-grade and rare medicinal herbs haven't been changed yet. It's not as simple as a few percent profit margin anymore... many of these can even yield ten or twenty times the profit!
So Qin Xiangqian was right, all these medicinal herbs sold here were sold off to Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!
Qin Xiangqian remarked that the total profit from selling medicinal herbs over the past few years hadn't even reached the level of the last few days!
So, haven't we made a fortune?!
Chu Xinghe responded to Qin Xiangqian's statement with a sneer, "Old Qin, you're absolutely right!"
I'm numb... This round is seriously numb...
