"Wait, System, can you disguise me?"
Arriving in front of the Mitel Auction House, Xiao Lang suddenly remembered that it was one thing for an eight-year-old child to buy so many materials, but if it was discovered later that someone was selling so many bottles of Qi Gathering Powder, any discerning person would know it had something to do with him.
He would have to learn from Xiao Yan and disguise himself as an alchemist.
And by the way, check out the "vixen" Xiao Yan mentioned, his future wife?
"Actually, you can directly exchange gold coins for medicinal ingredients with me and then refine medicine," the System's voice sounded.
"..."
Xiao Lang was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Then why the hell didn't you say so earlier? You're only telling me now that I've arrived at the Mitel Auction House. Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"
System: "You didn't ask, and now you're blaming me? Should I leave then?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Anger hurts the body. Don't argue with idiots. Idiots are always right."
Xiao Lang immediately recited the calming mantra he saw those keyboard warriors who attacked without even reading, from his past life when he wrote novels.
However, this would save him trouble; he wouldn't have to buy materials anymore.
"Wait, why do you, a System, need gold coins?" Xiao Lang suddenly remembered, wondering if he could trick the System into giving him free materials.
"Other Systems collect them, why shouldn't I? Do I have no pride?" the System retorted, clearly holding a grudge for Xiao Lang calling it an idiot.
"Besides, we Systems also need energy. The energy required varies for each plane, and it's mostly converted into energy in the form of gold coins," the System explained patiently.
"Then can I exchange gold coins for other materials? Like Heavenly Flames or Heavenly Waters?" Xiao Lang's eyes lit up as he asked.
If that were possible, he could just print money, right?
Why bother with multiple-choice questions?
"No, you can only exchange for unlocked pill ingredients, but you can spend money to unlock other pill recipes."
The System said, "A friendly reminder, the System does not buy back pills, so you'll still need to exchange for the God-Tier Disguise Technique to sell pills."
"Then please exchange the ingredients for ten portions of Qi Gathering Powder for me first," Xiao Lang said. "Can I get a discount if I buy ten portions of ingredients at once?"
"Alright, what kind of discount?"
"How about no charge?" Xiao Lang tried to negotiate, "When I become stronger in the future, I'll give you as much money as you want, making you look great among Systems."
"..."
The System was silent for a moment, then said faintly:
"This is the first time I've seen someone try to sweet-talk a System."
In the end, the System gave Xiao Lang a 10% discount.
"Ding! Alchemy successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining 11 Perfect Qi Gathering Pills."
As Xiao Lang put all the materials into the alchemy system, a flash of inspiration appeared, immediately followed by the System's prompt.
Xiao Lang's eyes lit up. Perfect Qi Gathering Pills. The System was quite capable.
"Of course, System-produced items are top-quality!" the System said proudly. "It's just that you didn't ask before. The System's alchemy quality is always the highest."
"However, to refine high-quality pills, you still need to withstand the lightning tribulation, and the lightning tribulation will be a bit different."
"It's just a lightning tribulation, a minor issue."
Xiao Lang's eyes were only on the eleven Perfect Qi Gathering Pills, and he barely registered the warning about the lightning tribulation being different.
After all, the higher the quality of the Qi Gathering Pill, the higher the price!
This batch of Qi Gathering Powder could potentially sell for a high price of 200,000 gold coins each!
This way, besides giving his father 600,000, he could keep 1.6 million, and with that, he could refine another 32 bottles of Qi Gathering Powder!
With this snowball effect, he could practically eat Qi Gathering Powder like beans.
It was just a pity that Qi Gathering Powder was only useful for those at the ninth stage of Dou Disciple to break through to Dou Practitioner. It was of little use to a Three-star Dou Practitioner like himself.
However, saving up some gold coins for a wife wasn't a bad idea.
After all, the ancient clan of Xiao Xun'er alone was a colossal power. Xiao Yan had to put in a lot of effort to gain their approval.
He certainly couldn't be so useless; he wanted to be a Dragon King son-in-law.
With a single word, all other ancient families would come to pay homage!
He wanted to be the Dragon King of the Dou Qi Continent!
"Alright, now exchange the God-Tier Disguise Technique for me." Xiao Lang felt that it was safest to quickly convert the Qi Gathering Powder into cash.
"Oh, right, my gold coins were all used to buy materials just now. I only have 500 gold coins left. Can I get credit? Don't worry, I'll consider this money borrowed!" Xiao Lang said sincerely.
"And you don't intend to repay money you borrowed with your own skills, do you?" the System couldn't help but retort.
"..."
Xiao Lang's mouth twitched.
Damn it, as expected, a trick could only be used once.
It seemed he needed to change cities soon; he couldn't borrow money from this family anymore.
"It's fine, 500 Gold Soul Coins can still buy the Disguise Technique," the system said.
"System, you really are loyal," Xiao Lang thought, silently giving the system a thumbs-up in his heart.
As expected of his little assistant.
Three seconds later.
"Holy crap! System, you're a scammer! For 500 coins, you just gave me a tattoo for my eyebrows?" After exchanging for the Disguise Technique, Xiao Lang took out a mirror and saw that all he got was an eyebrow tattoo!
He immediately refused to accept it. Did it think he was some kind of fool?
An eyebrow tattoo for 40,000 yuan?
"At the price of 500 Gold Soul Coins, you can only exchange for a counterfeit and shoddy Disguise Technique," the system said calmly.
"..."
Xiao Lang's mouth twitched.
Damn it!
System, you didn't learn any of my good qualities, did you?
Xiao Lang looked at his eyebrows, nearly dying of embarrassment, and had no choice but to compromise:
"Fine, you draw the line. Tell me how I can exchange for the God-Tier Disguise Technique. Anyway, I'll give you all my remaining 500 Gold Soul Coins. If I don't have enough, I'll even give you my body."
Xiao Lang was completely fed up, but... asking for money was impossible, he'd rather die.
"..."
The system's mouth twitched. What would I want your body for?
Are you trying to be a pervert here?
"Enough, shut up. You can also exchange it with your cultivation," the system said, afraid Xiao Lang would say more lewd things. "Return your cultivation to the third stage of Dou Qi to exchange for the God-Tier Disguise Technique."
(This God-Tier Disguise Technique can disguise cultivation level and such! Even Dou Saint cultivation! No one will be able to tell, unless they actually fight, then the disguise will fail. So it's not a loss to exchange it for cultivation. A divine skill for showing off! And it's recovered in one chapter, the story will get more exciting later!)
"..."
Mo Lang's expression instantly fell. He said, "Do you have to be so ruthless? Are you playing roller coasters with me? Becoming a Dou Practitioner in one night, and then returning to the third stage of Dou Qi in one day?"
"The God-Tier Disguise Technique can completely turn you into another person, so much so that even they themselves would doubt their own identity!"
"..."
Hearing this, Xiao Lang hesitated. If he returned to the third stage of Dou Qi, he didn't know when he would be able to return to being a Dou Practitioner.
"Let's talk about money instead. Name your price."
"One hundred million."
"I think returning to the third stage of Dou Qi isn't impossible. After all, my younger brother will start all over again, so I, as the older brother, will set an example first."
At worst, he'd just have to do a few more multiple-choice questions.
Soon, Xiao Lang sacrificed his cultivation level and exchanged for the God-Tier Disguise Technique, as he felt this skill would be of great use later on.
After exchanging for the God-Tier Disguise Technique, Xiao Lang completely transformed into an old man, from his physique to his temperament. Even Xiao Zhan or Xiao Yan standing here wouldn't be able to recognize him.
He took out a mirror to look at himself, nodded with satisfaction, and walked out of the alley, heading towards the Mitel Auction House.
