Yang Bo said, "That's a pretty far-fetched explanation. Is Great Alchemist Li so bored that he's making Wind Fiend Pills? Since he's already made the pills, he should just sell them. Isn't making these Wind Fiend Tokens an unnecessary extra step?"
Tong Chuan smiled. "Isn't it obvious? Great Alchemist Li has spent years immersed in the art of compounding medicines. He's already mastered the four formulas for the Profound Yellow Pill inside and out. There's not much point in putting more effort into mixing medicines. He wants to refine Profound Yellow Pills, but he hasn't yet reached the Life Wheel Realm, so he doesn't have infant fire. At this point, isn't it perfectly normal for Great Alchemist Li to try refining Wind Fiend Pills and build up his pill-refining experience? For us, this is truly a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."
"As for why he's making these Wind Fiend Tokens, I asked the newly arrived Lord Zhong about it in private. He's Great Alchemist Li's confidant, and from what he said, Great Alchemist Li has such an impeccable reputation that he doesn't want the stain of selling Wind Fiend Pills to Menial Workers. So he's using these Wind Fiend Tokens as an intermediary. Besides, Great Alchemist Li knows how hard things are for Menial Workers like us, and doesn't want to profit from our hard-earned money. He's selling them at cost: one Wind Fiend Pill for just two Profound Yellow Pills. That way, Great Alchemist Li can continue his trials, and we get to benefit from his kindness for nothing. It's a win-win."
Tong Chuan's words left Jiang Xing and the other two fired up as if they'd been injected with chicken blood.
"Two? Just two? Heavens, that's truly a bargain! May the Grand Alchemist enjoy immortal blessings forever!"
"Is this for real?
