Everything the reception disciple said grated on the branch president's nerves. Especially when the Second Elder heard what his son had done, he knew the president would never let him off. Then they heard that Shi Siming had actually wanted this Sky Vault Realm expert to spend a night with him? The Second Elder nearly fainted on the spot.
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! How could such scum appear in my Alchemist Association?"
"Second Elder, this is the fine son you raised!"
The branch president directly slapped the Second Elder into the ruins. Coughing up blood, the Second Elder did not dare delay for even a moment and flew before Liu Yurou, desperately kowtowing.
The masters of those remaining lackeys also rushed before Liu Yurou one after another to apologize.
"What's the point of apologizing? Why have all those rules in the first place? Deal with it yourselves!"
Shi Siming had never imagined that he had provoked such a major figure. He had actually wanted a Sky Vault Realm beauty to spend a night with him. The branch president personally killed Shi Siming on the spot, while the Second Elder and Shi Siming's remaining lackeys had their cultivation crippled and were expelled from the Alchemist Association.
"Hurry and bring all the medicinal ingredients Senior needs! Senior, this is the Liyang Wood you requested. The ingredients and the Liyang Wood are free, offered as an apology from our Alchemist Association. If there is anything else you need, please tell us. We will do everything in our power to fulfill it!"
The branch president intended to satisfy Qing Mo's demands as best he could, hoping only that Qing Mo would calm down. If he could form a good connection with him as well, that would be even better!
"One matter is one matter. This young master will not take your medicinal ingredients for nothing. Not a single spirit stone owed to you will be lacking. As for this Liyang Wood, this young master will exchange a pill formula for it."
"We wouldn't dare! We wouldn't dare! This was originally the Alchemist Association's fault. This is only what we should do."
"Enough with the nonsense. Just do as I say!"
Qing Mo rolled his eyes at the branch president. How could he not know what this old fellow was thinking?
"Da Bai, it's your turn now. I'll raise your cultivation in a moment. I also need to test one of my ideas!"
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! You're far too good to me. Boohoo~"
Da Bai hugged Qing Mo's calf, weeping with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Enough crying. You'll have plenty to cry about later. Get off my leg right now. If you dare wipe your snot and tears on my pants, I'll dry-pot you tonight." (╬•᷅д•᷄╬)
Hearing Qing Mo say that, Da Bai immediately sucked the snot that was about to drip out back into his nose. After hearing what Qing Mo had said at the Auction House earlier, he did not want to take any shortcuts.
"System, get me a pill formula that can instantly restore spiritual power and heal injuries. Hurry!"
"Fuck, do you think I'm a junk collector? All my pill formulas are high-grade. Where am I supposed to find something suitable for people at such low realms? I don't have one."
"Then don't call me when you want me to travel to other worlds and steal their world origins for you. I've been pretty busy lately. I still need to hurry up and inherit Wei Wu Heroic Spirit! No time."
"Wait a moment, I'll look. o(*≧д≦)o!!"
"Hurry up! (≧ω≦)/"
"Found one! This Spirit-Returning Qi-Restoring Pill is suitable for them. It can be used by those above the Spirit Refinement Realm and below the Sky Vault Realm. It restores full health and mana within two seconds. Even with a fatal injury, it can keep someone alive for two more days."
"Mm, that's the one."
"This Spirit-Returning Qi-Restoring Pill can restore all spiritual power and heal all external injuries within a single breath. Even if someone has suffered a fatal injury, it can let them hold on for another three days. This young master will use its pill formula to exchange for the Liyang Wood."
Qing Mo tossed a Spirit-Returning Qi-Restoring Pill and its pill formula to the branch president. Seeing the man's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets, his hands trembling as he held the pill and formula, and his breathing growing more and more rapid, Qing Mo suspected that he might collapse in convulsions any moment.
Everyone present had red eyes. How could Liyang Wood, a medicinal material nearly at the tenth grade, compare to such a precious pill formula? Forget tenth-grade medicinal ingredients—even eleventh- or twelfth-grade treasures would be worth trading for it!
"Senior, are you truly planning to exchange such a precious pill formula for Liyang Wood?"
"What? Is this pill formula worth less than Liyang Wood?"
"No, no, no! It doesn't merely surpass it—it surpasses it by far too much!"
"Then isn't that enough? Are you exchanging or not?"
"Yes, yes, yes! This old man will fetch the Liyang Wood for you immediately!"
The branch president hurriedly stored the pill and formula in his storage ring, then turned and went to retrieve the Liyang Wood. Though he was only at the early Dao Integration Realm, he somehow strode with the bearing of someone in the Sky Vault Realm!
"Senior, is there anything else you need? My Luotian Dynasty will do everything in its power to provide it."
Luotian Jun hurriedly tried to ingratiate himself. The Alchemist Branch Association had obtained such a good thing right before his eyes. If he did not hurry and grovel now, he would not even get a bite of warm shit.
If the two old fellows in his family's ancestral grounds found out he had not shown any sincerity at all, he might end up getting beaten black and blue by both of them. (๑ १д१)
"Wait. This young master will finish dealing with the matter at hand first. Naturally, I will have something for you to do."
"Yes, Senior. This junior will wait at your side!"
Everyone stared at the king, usually so majestic, now waiting like a sycophant for Qing Mo to give him orders. Their eyes nearly fell out of their heads.
"Hmph! ╯^╰ What do you know? You do not get to encounter a figure like this whenever you want. If I don't flatter him now, when should I? Pride? Can that thing improve your strength? A bunch of long-haired, short-sighted fools."
A short while later, the branch president handed Qing Mo the medicinal ingredients and Liyang Wood he needed.
"Senior, if you need to refine pills, this old man is willing to lend you the Qingping Yuanlong Cauldron. It is this old man's finest pill cauldron."
"No need. It's only refining a few pills. Why make it so troublesome?"
With a wave of Qing Mo's hand, all the medicinal ingredients floated into the air and separated into dozens of portions. A small flame emerged from his fingertip, splitting into dozens as well and slowly growing larger, wrapping around the ingredients like pill cauldrons.
Who among them had ever seen such a method? Using pill fire as pill cauldrons, refining pills in the void—they could see the medicinal ingredients within the flaming cauldrons rapidly being refined into medicinal liquid. They could feel Qing Mo's vast spiritual power driving the various liquids to condense into pills!
"Heavens! This old man never imagined such an alchemy method existed! A miracle! A miracle!"
The entire process took less than five breaths. Each portion of ingredients produced twelve pills. Some were pure snowy white, some deep green and radiating dense vitality, while others were fiery red. Pill fragrance spread through the entire city. Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky as lightning flashed and thunder roared. The Heavenly Dao was about to send down a lightning tribulation, allowing these pills to appear before the world in their most perfect form.
"Pill Tribulation! This is a Pill Tribulation! It is said that only when peerless pills are about to enter the world will a Pill Tribulation descend. Once they pass it, their medicinal effects will reach their peak, with no pill toxins whatsoever!"
"It's actually the Pill Tribulation mentioned in ancient books! This old man has spent his life refining pills, obsessed with pill refinement. To witness this scene today, my life is complete! Hahahaha!"
The branch president and several old fellows obsessed with medicinal pills now danced about like little children, their faces filled with excitement, joy, and shock.
Qing Mo's face darkened somewhat. He had already found the Pill Tribulation noisy enough, but he had not expected this bunch of old children to be even noisier!
