"Ding! Does the host wish to confirm recycling the Second-grade Medicinal Herb Fire Dragon Fruit?"

"Recycle!"

"Ding! The Second-grade Medicinal Herb Fire Dragon Fruit has been recycled. The host has obtained 200 Points!"

Phew, he finally had some Points.

Nalan Chaoge immediately opened the system panel, then placed one hundred First-grade Medicinal Herbs inside. Based on the herbs' properties, the system listed the pills that could be refined, followed by descriptions of their effects.

Power-Accumulating Pill: Increased one's strength by a certain degree.

Qi-Increasing Powder: For use by those below the Dou Zhe level, temporarily granting the strength of a Dou Zhe.

Spring Return Powder: Rapidly restored stamina.

Healing Pill: Stopped bleeding and refreshed the mind.

Fire Condensing Pill: Increased the absorption efficiency of fire-element energy.

No matter the plane or continent, healing classes and medicinal pills were always scarce.

Nalan Chaoge chose the Healing Pill without hesitation.

"Ding! Does the host wish to confirm spending 200 Points to refine a Healing Pill?"

"Yes!"

With a thought, a still-warm pill appeared in Nalan Chaoge's hand.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from it, carrying an enticing allure.

He brought it to his nose and took a gentle sniff. So this was what a medicinal pill smelled like?

The 200 Points he had painstakingly spent had not gone to waste.

Nalan Chaoge did not take this First-grade Pill.

He intended to use it to make his fortune.

Without alerting anyone, Nalan Chaoge quietly left the Marshal's Mansion. In a corner, he took out a large cloak and put it on, concealing his face.

Familiar with the route, he flashed into one of Mittel's auction houses.

In truth, First-grade Pills did not need to be auctioned in a place like Jiamar Holy City, but Nalan Chaoge had his own plans.

Upon arriving at the Auction House, Nalan Chaoge headed straight for the appraisal room.

He pushed open the door and entered. The room was somewhat spacious. The so-called appraisal room was not a treasure vault; only a few people sat behind a large table.

Seeing Nalan Chaoge wrapped completely in a cloak, a female attendant at the entrance stepped forward to greet him.

"May I ask if you require an appraisal, sir?"

"Mhm." Nalan Chaoge grunted faintly.

"May I ask whether you wish to appraise medicinal pills, cultivation techniques and Battle Skills, or Heavenly Treasures?"

"Medicinal pills!" Nalan Chaoge added.

"Very well, sir. The medicinal pill appraisal area is this way!" The attendant led Nalan Chaoge to a table. After a brief introduction, she handed him over to an old man seated behind it.

The old man had a ruddy complexion, snow-white hair and beard, and an unfathomable air about him.

Nalan Chaoge did not waste words. He directly took the pill from his robes.

There was no decoration, no jade bottle, and no wooden box. He simply held the pill in his hand and took it out.

Seeing Nalan Chaoge's action, the old man frowned slightly.

He had never seen anyone disrespect medicinal pills so greatly!

"This is?" The old man gave Nalan Chaoge a puzzled look.

"Appraise it," Nalan Chaoge said in a muffled voice.

"A First-grade Pill, a Healing Pill. It has hemostatic and healing effects!" Having seen plenty of such things, the old man was not particularly surprised by a First-grade Pill. He merely glanced at the pill in Nalan Chaoge's hand and identified its effects without even touching it.

"How much can this pill be sold for?"

"The medicinal pill buyback prices are over there. You may check them yourself." It was merely a First-grade Pill, so the old man had no interest in it.

Nalan Chaoge was not surprised. He walked alone to a chart nearby and compared the prices.

First-grade Pill buyback price: 1,000 Gold Coins.

Grade 2 Pill buyback price: 10,000 Gold Coins.

Grade 3 Pill buyback price: 100,000 Gold Coins.

Those were only the lowest prices. If a pill was of higher quality or had better effects, its price would naturally differ. However, even the finest First-grade Pill was worth only 9,000 Gold Coins and could not exceed a Grade 2 Pill.

After checking the prices, Nalan Chaoge returned.

"Sell it."

The old man glanced at Nalan Chaoge and beckoned to the attendant at the entrance.

He instructed the attendant to assess it at the lowest grade for a First-grade Pill, transfer one thousand Gold Coins on the spot, and take Nalan Chaoge's pill.

Nalan Chaoge did not understand the transactions here, but selling one pill for a thousand Gold Coins still felt rather unprofitable to him.

One thousand Gold Coins bought one Second-grade Medicinal Herb, which could be recycled for two hundred Points. Then he had to throw in several First-grade Medicinal Herbs before the system could refine another pill. Wasn't that a losing business?

But it would be different with Grade 2 Pills.

After the transaction, Nalan Chaoge took out his card again. It contained eleven thousand Gold Coins, and he instructed the attendant to exchange all of it for Second-grade Medicinal Herbs.

Only the lowest-grade Second-grade Medicinal Herbs.

The Mittel Family truly deserved its reputation as the largest auction market. In less than half an hour, the medicinal herbs Nalan Chaoge needed were prepared.

There were eleven of the lowest-grade Second-grade Medicinal Herbs in total.

He recycled six of them and obtained 1,200 Points.

Nalan Chaoge was about to carry out his great, shameless system-farming operation.

Name: Nalan Chaoge System Level: Dou Po Cultivation Level: One-star Dou Zhe System Refinable Pills: Grade 2 Redeemed Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, Eight Inner Gates Summoned Tailed Beasts: None Impure World Reincarnation: None Points Owned: 1200

A Grade 2 Pill was not necessarily refined entirely from Second-grade Medicinal Herbs. Sometimes, a pill that required only one Second-grade Medicinal Herb could still be called a Grade 2 Pill.

One Grade 2 Pill was worth 10,000 Gold Coins, which could then be exchanged for ten Second-grade Medicinal Herbs. Hehehe.

No wonder everyone said Alchemists were the most sought-after and wealthiest profession on this continent.

After receiving the medicinal herbs, Nalan Chaoge did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked an attendant for a private room.

In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Nalan Chaoge used the remaining five Second-grade Medicinal Herbs and spent 1,000 Points to refine five Grade 2 Pills.

"Appraisal!"

When Nalan Chaoge appeared before the old man again, the old man merely gave this youth wrapped head to toe in a cloak a puzzled glance.

Nalan Chaoge ostentatiously took out five Grade 2 Pills at once.

Likewise, there was no decoration. He simply held them in his hand.

This time, the old man's eyes lit up.

Grade 2 Pills?

And he had taken out five at once?

That alone was nothing to the old man, but the pills were clearly still warm. In other words, they had just been refined.

In such a short time, he had actually refined five Grade 2 Pills. Moreover, he looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

The old man was finally moved.

"G-Grade 2 Pills, five of them. May I ask if you wish to sell them, young man?"

"Mhm." Nalan Chaoge nodded calmly.

"Ten thousand Gold Coins each. That will be fifty thousand Gold Coins!"

Nalan Chaoge nodded faintly, then turned around and handed his Gold Coins to the attendant beside him again.

Same rule: fifty of the lowest-grade Second-grade Medicinal Herbs.

Half an hour later.

Nalan Chaoge appeared before the old appraiser once more.

It was still the same faint sentence.

"Appraisal!"

Twenty-five Grade 2 Pills!
