Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"One Life Recovery Pill?" Some people asked with a sneer, "How's Lu Clan reputable? This is just wishful thinking on their part! They wish to exchange for a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists with a mere grade one Life Recovery Pill?"

Although a grade one Life Recovery Pill was valuable, its value was far less than that of a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists. This was something everybody knew.

"The Lu Clan actually came up with such a reward? Do they really think we're all idiots?"

"I think only an idiot would take a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists and exchange it for a mere grade one Life Recovery Pill!"

"If I take a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists to barter in the Northern Mountain City's black market, I can get at least three grade one Life Recovery Pills in return!"



The restaurant was in a clamor. Everyone felt the reward that the Lu Clan offered was lacking.

"Big guy, the shocking reward you spoke of is just a mere grade one Life Recovery Pill?" Somebody looked at the sturdy man and sneered.

"Although a grade one Life Recovery Pill is valuable, I wouldn't call it shocking!" Another person chimed in as he looked at the sturdy man.

For a moment, the sturdy man became the target of public criticism.

"Hurmph!" The sturdy man snorted in disdain when faced with everyone's ridicule. "What do you all know? Would I say it's shocking if it's just an ordinary grade one Life Recovery Pill?" The sturdy man's voice drowned out the people's mockery and took them by surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly! What do you mean by 'just an ordinary grade one Life Recovery Pill'? Don't tell me the grade one Life Recovery Pill the Northern Mountain's Lu Clan is offering is not an ordinary grade one Life Recovery Pill?"

"Hurmph! Aren't all the grade one Life Recovery Pills that are circulating in our Southern Outer Land — including the ones the Northern Mountain's Lu Clan possessed — come from Guild Master Cheng of the Alchemist Guild's Main Guild of the Southern Outer Land?"



Many people voiced out their opinion to refute the sturdy man's words.

"All of the grade one Life Recovery Pills circulating in the Southern Outer Land came from the hands of the Guild Master of the Alchemist Guild's Main Guild of the Southern Outer Land?" The sturdy man smiled a dazzling smile.

"Guys, aren't your news a little too outdated? Don't tell me that none of you heard the news about a grade one alchemist elder joining the Lu Clan?"

Soon after, somebody returned to their senses and remembered that the Lu Clan already had their own grade one alchemist.

"Oh, yeah! I remember that! The rumored Lu Clan's First Interim Elder that caused a storm of discussion is a grade one alchemist!!"

"Now that Lu Clan has their own grade one alchemist, they no longer need Guild Master Cheng to refine grade one pills for them anymore!"

"The Lu Clan has a grade one alchemist already?" Some people who had only recently left their houses were stunned. This was their first time hearing this news.

"Hurmph! So what if the Lu Clan has their own grade one alchemist now? Don't tell me the grade one Life Recovery Pills he refined are better than the one refined by our Guild Master Cheng of the Alchemist Guild's Main Guild of the Southern Outer Land?"

"The grade one Life Recovery Pills that Guild Master Cheng refined often has purity above 70%. It's not easy to refine pills better than the ones he refines!"

"Exactly! Even if the Lu Clan already has a grade one alchemist of their own, how could he possibly be compared to Guild Master Cheng?! Let alone refining a pill that's superior to the pill Guild Master Cheng refines!"



Many people chimed in again. Judging from their words, one could hear the respect they had for Guild Master Cheng of the Alchemist Guild's Main Guild of the Southern Outer Land.

"How ignorant!" The sturdy man enunciated each of his words clearly as he coldly glanced at the group of people who looked down on the grade one alchemist from the Lu Clan.

His loud voice easily drowned out the din in the restaurant.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to him again.

Many of their eyes looked as though they were about to shoot out fire.

"Ignorant? Fine! Please do enlighten us on how ignorant we are." One middle-aged man was so angry that he immediately stood up. He glared at the sturdy man and barked, "If you can't come out with a plausible explanation, I'll make sure to spill your blood until it's three feet high today!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the middle-aged man's sharp aura swept out from his body and pressured the group of people around him.

"A-A powerhouse at the peak o-of the Void!" Somebody exclaimed.

For a moment, everybody stared at the middle-aged man in fear as though he was a beast that might swallow them whole.

However, their attention soon shifted away from the middle-aged man at the peak of the Void to the sturdy man.

"Looks like this guy is going to meet his doom soon!"

"If he can't give a proper explanation today, this powerhouse at the peak of the Void won't let him go!'

"How dare he call us ignorant! Just one word and he offended all of us! He's simply looking for death!"

"I'd like to see what he's going to say next."



The crowd buried their heads together in discussion. All of them felt the sturdy man was doomed.

The sturdy man's eyes were filled with dread the moment he realized the middle-aged man was a powerhouse at the peak of the Void.

However, the dread in his eyes soon disappeared since he felt secure knowing he had a proper explanation.

"All of you keep saying that the Lu Clan's Elder Duan is not as good as Guild Master Cheng… However, I wonder if any of you have witnessed Elder Duan refine pills with your own eyes before? Or maybe compare the grade one Life Recovery Pills that Elder Duan refined to the ones that Guild Master Cheng refined?" The sturdy man asked after sweeping a glance at the group of people.

The crowd of people immediately looked at each other, but none of them spoke up.

Although this was the first time many of them heard about Elder Duan in the Lu Clan, they immediately associated this Elder Duan with the Lu Clan. Due to this reason, they felt as though they knew him as well.

However, they could only stay silent when questioned by the sturdy man.

None of them had seen the Lu Clan's grade one alchemist elder before, let alone witnessing him refine pills with their own eyes.

Naturally, they also have not seen the grade one pills that he refined before so it was impossible for them to compare it as well.

"What? You have nothing to say now?" The sturdy man snorted before he continued to mock them, "All of you don't know anything yet you keep insulting the Lu Clan's Elder Duan! What a joke!"

The sturdy man's words caused the faces of the crowd to turn green and pale.

"Hurmph! Since you put it this way, the pill refining level of the Lu Clan's grade one alchemist elder must be high then! I'd like to hear how remarkable is the grade one Life Recovery Pills that he refines since you respect him so much!"

"That's right! It's easy for you to say he's amazing. But if he's really that amazing, tell us the purity of the grade one Life Recovery Pills that the Lu Clan's elder refined!"

"Since the Lu Clan dares to use it to exchange for spirit fruits suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists, could it be that the grade one Life Recovery Pills' purity is at 75% or above?"



Soon after, the crowd regained their senses and questioned the sturdy man since they were unwilling to let the matter go.

In their opinion, only grade one Life Recovery Pills with purity at 75% and above were worthy to be exchanged for a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists. This was because a grade one Life Recovery Pill with 75% or more purity had medicinal efficacy that was a whole level higher than a grade one Life Recovery Pills with purity at 70% and below.

Only that kind of grade one Life Recovery Pills had the same value with a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists.

Moreover, since the beginning, they did not believe the grade one alchemist elder in Lu Clan could actually refine a grade one Life Recovery Pill with purity above 75%.

In the entire Cloud Continent, not just in the Outer Land, it was as rare as a phoenix's feather for a grade one alchemist to purify a grade one pill with purity more than 75% even in the Inner Land.

"Purity above 75%?" The moment the sturdy man heard the crowd's words, he was momentarily stunned before he burst out in a fit of laughter. His laughter did not stop even after a long time. It was as though he could not control himself at all.

"Hahahaha…"

"Hahahaha… Hahahahahahahaha…."

Laughter filled the air in the restaurant. It caused everyone's faces to darken.

"Are you done laughing?" Finally, the middle-aged man at peak of the Void asked coldly. His thunderous voice drowned out the sturdy man's laughter.

At this moment, the sturdy man finally stopped laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice as his eyes gleamed coldly.

"Of course, I'm laughing at how ignorant they are!" The sturdy man replied bluntly. He glanced at the middle-aged man once before he turned to look at the others.

"Please do enlighten me then on how ignorant they are." The middle-aged man's attention was firmly fixed on the sturdy man as he enunciated each word slowly while the people began to get angry.

"Do you really think it'll be our loss to exchange a spirit fruit suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artist for a grade one Life Recovery Pill that the Lu Clan offered? Do all of you really think that only grade one Life Recovery Pills with purity at 75% and above are worthy to be compared to spirit fruits suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists in terms of value?" The sturdy man asked as he looked at the people in the restaurant.

Although none of them verbally confirmed it, the looks in their eyes undoubtedly confirmed it.

"Very good!" When the sturdy man saw how no one denied this, he narrowed his eyes and recounted the news he heard without leaving a single detail out. "Let me enlighten all of you then… According to the news that Lu Clan spread out, the grade one Life Recovery Pills that the Lu Clan offers in exchange for a spirit fruit that's suitable for Void Transformation Stage martial artists has more than 90% purity!"

90%!

The moment the words left the sturdy man's mouth, silence immediately descended in the restaurant.

Even the powerhouse at the peak of the Void who was glaring at the sturdy man was shocked. He was in a daze for a very long time.
