"Third-grade pills!"
Hearing that someone in the crowd actually wanted a third-grade pill refined,
the previously clamorous crowd immediately fell silent.
Everyone turned in unison toward the speaker.
He was a burly man eight feet tall, with a slightly dark complexion and a fierce face.
His steps were steady, and considerable fluctuations of power emanated from him. He was a Source Qi Realm Nine-Star martial artist.
Everyone looked at the man with a measure of curiosity and awe.
Third-grade pills were generally used only by Source Sea Realm martial artists, or even Source Core Realm martial artists.
Not only were their medicinal effects astonishing, but they were also expensive.
Even the most ordinary third-grade pill cost over a hundred thousand taels, or even more.
In short, anyone who needed a third-grade pill was no ordinary person.
The crowd instinctively cleared a path for the dark-faced man.
He swaggered up to the foot of the platform and looked at Gu Chenfeng.
"You're Alchemist Ge from the Myriad Treasures House, aren't you? I heard your Chief Alchemist joined the Exquisite Tower.
Your Myriad Treasures House can't refine third-grade pills anymore."
The dark-faced man's opening words carried an utterly blunt challenge.
The atmosphere at the scene abruptly changed.
Everyone looked at the young Alchemist on the platform, wondering how he would react.
Steward Chen and Alchemist Ge, who were standing in a corner secretly observing the scene, also revealed cold smiles.
Unexpectedly, when faced with the dark-faced man's challenge,
the young Alchemist Ge merely smiled faintly.
"You must mean Pill Master Huang. That elderly Pill Master is indeed a third-grade Alchemy Master worthy of respect!"
His words immediately stirred a commotion and discussion.
No one had expected that the moment Alchemist Ge opened his mouth,
he would lavish such praise on his competitor,
