“General Manager Su, I’m here to buy essence soul herbs. Do you have some?”

The youngster in the black battle robe looked at the chief of the Pill Pavilion indifferently and asked slowly.

“Black battle robe? Why does it look familiar?”Jiang Chen thought to himself as if he had seen the youngster somewhere before.

What Jiang Chen didn’t know was that the black battle robe was the standard of the Yan Sect.

And this teenager was the young master of the Yan sect.

“So it’s Young Master Yan. Our Pill Pavilion still has some spirit herbs. If you want them, I’ll bring them for you.”

General Manager Su looked at the youngster in the black battle robe with great respect. He rubbed his hands together and trotted over with a smile.

“Alright. I won’t ask about the price. Just bring me all you got. I need them urgently.”

Young Master Yan glanced at the things in the Pill Pavilion and said calmly.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded!

This General Manager Su had just told him they didn’t have any spirit herbs. They were short of the soul-essence grass. But he was ready to bring them out for this youngster?

Was he looking down on him, or was he afraid Jiang Chen wouldn’t be able to buy it?

“Chief, I asked for it first. Why didn’t you sell it to me?”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice, “I need the essence soul herb!”

“Huh! The essence soul herb is very expensive. It’s also very useful in cultivation. Little Brother, you… just forget it!”

General Manager Su glanced at Jiang Chen’s clothes with a smile. The contempt in his eyes was evident!

Jiang Chen looked down in confusion when he saw General Manager Su sizing him up.

He immediately understood… 

The slightly yellowed clothes were patched. The shoes on his feet were also stained with mud…

No wonder this General Manager Su looked at him strangely every time!

The youngster in front of him was dressed luxuriously. His clothes were totally different from Jiang Chen’s.

However, Jiang Chen still had to fight for the soul essence grass!

Although he didn’t have any Spirit Stones, he was sure that what he had in his head was definitely more attractive than the price offered by the youngster in black battle robe!

“General Manager Su, do you think I can’t afford it?”

“I, Jiang Chen, want as many spirit herbs as your Pill Pavilion has. Don’t worry, I’ll give you enough Spirit Stones!”

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, before General Manager Su could even open his mouth, the youngster in black battle robe spoke up.

“Essence soul herb are rare spirit herbs. It’s up to them to decide who the Pill Pavilion will sell them to.”

As he spoke, the youngster’s tone suddenly changed. An arrogant expression appeared on his face.

“Moreover, I’m Yan Lin, the young master of the Yan Sect. I won’t give up these spirit herbs!”

Then, he took out a medium-grade Spirit Stone from his pocket and threw it at Jiang Chen’s feet. 

He said arrogantly, “This is a medium-grade Spirit Stone. Take it as a pity gift from me, Yan Lin, and buy yourself a set of clothes!”

“You look so shabby. I don’t think you can afford it!”

Bang!

Jiang Chen didn’t even look at the medium-grade Spirit Stone. He kicked it back.

Yan Lin’s face darkened when he saw that the Spirit Stone he had given him had been kicked away.

After all, a medium-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to show off in front of his woman, he wouldn’t have given Jiang Chen the medium-grade Spirit Stone in the first place!

“General Manager Su, I may not have more Spirit Stones than him, but I do have something more precious than spirit stones!”

“Let’s talk in private.”

Looking at the fat General Manager Su in front of him, Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

“Well… Can you tell me in advance? Otherwise, I won’t be able to come with you.”

General Manager Su squinted. He looked confused.

After all, Jiang Chen’s clothes were tattered. He couldn’t figure out how he could possibly have something valuable with him?

“You know about the essence soul pill, right? It’s been thousands of years since this pill appeared. I can give you the formula of the essence soul pill in exchange!”

“The formula of the essence soul pill?”

The fat General Manager Su suddenly shouted. Right then, he seemed to have realized something. 

He looked at Jiang Chen and asked rather unhappily, “Kid, are you trying to trick me?”

“The essence soul pill was once a great pill that helped one to progress in their cultivation thousands of years ago. But there’s no such formula to refine this pill in the whole continent. Where did you get it from?!”

Yan Lin burst into laughter when he heard Jiang Chen’s words.

“Haha. The essence soul pill was created by the Holy King of Stars thousands of years ago. Have you seen yourself? Do you really think you have it?”

The woman next to Yan Lin started laughing at him. “Country bumpkin, get lost. Don’t be an eyesore here!”

“Call out the alchemist who is in charge of your Pill Pavilion!”

“I’ll write it down for him to see. He’ll know whether it’s true or not!” Jiang Chen ignored the three idiots.

If it weren’t for the essence soul herbs, Jiang Chen wouldn’t even bother talking to these trash.

General Manager Su was silent for a while. He then started to ponder over it.

Whether this matter was true or false, he would be able to distinguish it once he brought the Pavilion Master out.

If it was false, he wouldn’t receive any punishment!

If it was true, he would definitely receive a lot of benefits!

“I hope you didn’t lie to me, or else you would be the one to suffer!”

“If you offend the Pavilion Master, I reckon that you won’t be able to see the bright sun again,” General Manager Su warned in a low voice.

Not long after.

An alchemist with steady steps slowly climbed down the stairs.

During this time, Jiang Chen had already written the formula for the essence soul pill. However, he didn’t write the complete formula for the essence soul pill. He just made it less effective in practice.

After all, the essence soul herb wasn’t worth the price Jiang Chen would pay if he wrote the complete formula.

Even so, the effects of this incomplete essence soul pill would be far better than the other pills on the Red Sun Continent.

“This is the pill formula. You can try to refine a cauldron of pills with the method above!”

Jiang Chen didn’t waste any time. He handed the pill formula to the alchemist. Then, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

“General Manager Su, don’t believe what he said. Maybe he’s trying to trick you into wasting a batch of spirit herbs on purpose!”

Yan Lin was a little anxious after the alchemist took the pill formula. He tried to persuade him.

“Young Master Yan, please calm down!”

“Our Pavilion Master will make the decision.”.

General Manager Su waved his hand, dismissing Yan Lin’s words.

However, after Yan Lin shut up, the woman beside him walked up to Jiang Chen and said arrogantly.

“You country bumpkin!”

“How dare you fight for what the Yan Sect wants? I’ll give you one last chance. We want the soul essence grass. Take the spirit stones and scram!”

The woman folded her arms in front of her chest and ordered arrogantly.

“Get lost!”

“Trash!”

Jiang Chen didn’t want to argue with these two ignorant people. However, he deliberately showed his face to them again and again.

Then, Jiang Chen wouldn’t be so indifferent anymore!
