The Alchemist's Terror! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

Then, led by the Spectacled Old Man, Su Xiaobai walked through the corridor, took the elevator, and arrived at the Eighth Floor.

As the elevator doors opened, Su Xiaobai felt as if he had stepped into a world of resplendent gold, with extravagant decorations everywhere... This showed just how wealthy and powerful the Precious Pill Pavilion was!

Entering the VIP Room, the decor was equally luxurious... Even a single sofa was worth at least tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Spirit Coins!

"What tea would you like to drink?"

"No need. I have other matters to attend to, so let's finish this quickly."

Su Xiaobai said indifferently.

"Very well, please wait a moment. I'll be right back!"

The Spectacled Old Man left.

In just under five minutes.

With hurried footsteps rapidly approaching, the VIP Room door was pushed open, and a seductive figure in high heels walked in.

"Mr. Bai, my apologies for keeping you waiting!"

Su Xiaobai glanced up at the newcomer.

Besides the Spectacled Old Man from earlier, there was also a tall, fragrant lady.

What a vixen!

Su Xiaobai silently complained to himself.

"Mr. Bai, I am Rose, the head of Base No. 18's Third Division."

"As for the three Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills you wish to consign for auction, I've already arranged for someone to process them into the auction flow. Please wait a moment, and the receipt will be delivered to you shortly!"

"Additionally, Mr. Bai, this is your VIP Diamond Card. You've become our Precious Pill Pavilion's highest-grade member. From now on, whether you purchase or consign items at our pavilion, you'll enjoy a ten percent discount!"

Rose slightly bowed and placed a card before Su Xiaobai, its diamond-like surface reflecting dazzling light under the lamps.

The card bore the Precious Pill Pavilion's unique logo and special anti-counterfeiting features.

At the same time, her exceptionally full and alluring cleavage was laid bare before Su Xiaobai.

Fortunately, Su Xiaobai had cultivated Blood Kill, and influenced by the technique, his mind wasn't so easily swayed.

"Mm, I understand."

Su Xiaobai's tone was indifferent.

But it was precisely this indifferent tone that piqued Rose's interest in Su Xiaobai's identity even more.

There were only a handful of alchemists in Base No. 18 capable of refining Grade Four Pills.

Only one belonged to the Lin family, while the others came from various other bases.

As the head of the Precious Pill Pavilion, she had naturally heard of them all... Suddenly, a new alchemist appeared, one who could refine perfect Grade Four Pills—how could she not be curious?

"Mr. Bai, I humbly ask, do you belong to any faction or family?"

Rose didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

She knew alchemists often had peculiar temperaments.

If you danced around the subject with them, they'd get displeased, but speaking directly would yield a better response.

"Yes."

Su Xiaobai's answer was still as concise as ever.

Rose couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

When the Spectacled Old Man introduced him, she had been full of hope, thinking she could recruit a Fourth-Grade Pill Alchemist... After all, a Fourth-Grade Pill Alchemist was extremely rare for the entire Base No. 18, and if she could win one over, it would become her greatest asset!

Most crucially, this was an alchemist who could refine perfect Grade Four Pills!

His true grade had to be at least Fifth-Grade or above!

A Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist or higher—even a Martial Marshal would have to bow respectfully upon meeting them... That showed how significant he was!

Rose then asked several more questions.

But Su Xiaobai's replies were nothing more than the most ordinary "Mm," "Ah," and "Oh."

Su Xiaobai knew the principle that more words lead to more mistakes, so he kept quiet and gave minimal responses.

Soon, the receipt was ready.

"Mr. Bai, sorry for the wait. Here is your receipt!"

"In three days, our Precious Pill Pavilion's Sixth Floor will hold an auction for Diamond Card VIPs. You're welcome to attend and collect your auction proceeds!"

Rose smiled radiantly and handed the auction invitation to Su Xiaobai.

"Alright, I understand."

Su Xiaobai said nothing more. After putting away the receipt, invitation, and Diamond VIP Card, he left the Precious Pill Pavilion directly, escorted by Rose.

"Lady Rose, shall I have someone tail him?"

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Rose swirled red wine in her hand, watching Su Xiaobai's cloaked black figure disappear around a corner... Suddenly, from the shadows nearby, an Advanced Martial Master stepped out and asked respectfully.

"Tracking a Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist?"

"Are you trying to get this Precious Pill Pavilion branch to be buried alongside you?"

Rose glanced at him, her tone cold. "Have you forgotten the lesson from the Sun Family in Base 7?"

The Advanced Martial Master fell silent for a moment.

The Sun Family, a major clan in Base 7.

A Martial Marshal at the helm, a swarm of Martial Generals under his command, with Martial Masters only fit to be lackeys...

They happened to run into an alchemist from another base. Coveting his status as an alchemist, they tried repeatedly to recruit him, failed, and resorted to force... Who would have thought that on the very day the alchemist was kidnapped by the Sun Family, a massive War Boat appeared over Base 7?

A Martial God personally led the charge. No matter how the Sun Family begged for mercy, they ultimately could not escape annihilation!

When this news broke, it shook many bases.

Everyone came to a shared understanding: never provoke an alchemist lightly, because you have no idea how terrifying the forces behind them truly are!

"Yes, Lady Rose. This subordinate takes his leave!"

Three days later, a fully armed Su Xiaobai came again.

But he wasn't here for some damn auction; he was here to collect his auction proceeds.

"Mr. Bai, during the auction just now, your pills caused quite a stir. The three Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills sold for a high price of 6,650,000!"

"Since you are a Diamond VIP, we've already given you a 10% discount on the service fee. Here is your full payment, 6,650,000 yuan. Please take it!"

Rose said with a smile.

Rose personally handed a bank card to Su Xiaobai.

6,650,000?!

Hearing this number, Su Xiaobai couldn't help but freeze.

Holy crap... This was even more profitable than he had imagined!
