Chapter 406: Alchemist Wang Lan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Li Yuanqing had secretly looked at the old man who had bought his herbs through the cracks just now, the feeling was still very different when he saw him in person.

This old man was not tall, but he gave off a dignified aura, making people feel inexplicably oppressed.

Although this guy did not look proper, his cultivation realm was really that of a mid-stage Supremacy.

Li Yuanqing was not sure what grade it was, but this fellow’s strength was definitely the most profound he had seen so far.

The old man also sized Li Yuanqing up, as if he had already decided that Li Yuanqing was the seller.

“Your cultivation level is not bad. You’re at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm at such a young age. Your future is limitless. I wonder which sect you came from.”

The old man swung the big oily gourd and arrived in front of Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was about to take a step back when he suddenly felt as if his body was imprisoned by some power. He could only stand on the spot and watch as the old man placed his dirty arm on his shoulder.

The old man’s greasy hand kept rubbing Li Yuanqing’s body up and down. In a short period of time, he had touched Li Yuanqing from head to toe.

“Good lord! Your bones are actually so young and you have such a high cultivation at such a young age. What’s the name of your elder?”

Li Yuanqing glared at the old man angrily and replied unhappily, “Old sir, what has this got to do with you?”

Master Wuyan watched this scene with his mouth agape.

Why didn’t he expect this kid’s identity to be so special? He was even recognized by the drunk Wang Lan. Fortunately, he had received such important news and did not do anything wrong.

Wang Lan’s body tilted and he almost fell to the ground. A cushion beside him approached at the right time and stuck under him.

He leaned lazily against the meditation cushion and took a big gulp of wine. The gourd was like a small waterfall, sprinkling wine outside.

“I spent so much money to buy the Fire Spirit Fruit in your hand. Can’t I even know your name?”

Li Yuanqing looked at Master Wuyan and said unhappily, “How do you know that I sold this fruit to you? What does the deal you made with them have to do with me?”

The old man’s slender arm casually pulled Li Yuanqing closer to him.

“Kid, the smell of that fruit is so thick on you. I smelled it on you long ago. Why are you still arguing? I don’t want to harm you.”

“Whatever. Master Wuyan, I still have something on today, so I’ll leave first. If the next batch of fruits is ripe, I’ll come again.”

Master Wuyan immediately took out a small array disc and stuffed it into Li Yuanqing’s hand.

“Young friend, bring this communication device with you. If there’s anything, you can tell me immediately. If there’s anything inconvenient, you can also tell me. Although I’m not talented, I still have some power.”

“Thank you, Master.”

After Li Yuanqing put away the communication device, he hurriedly left the hall.

Beside me, the two brothers were still following the two of them. They were originally waiting outside the door for Li Yuanqing to come out. They wanted to send Li Yuanqing into the forest before leaving in peace.

“Brother, thank you so much this time. If there’s such a deal in the future, you must inform us brothers so that we can have some soup, right?”

The two of them did not get the so-called five percent commission.

Initially, they had not expected this deal to be so big. Since Master Wuyan was in charge of this matter, the two of them had only received a small reward. However, this was enough for them to be happy for a long time.

At the backstage of the auction hall, Wang Lan’s face was still drunk as she stared straight at Wuyan.

“How many do you have?”

“Master, look at this. Didn’t we say just now? Two of them have already fallen into your hands. How can there be more?”

Master Wuyan was more or less reserved when facing this old man.

Wang Lan did not fall for this. He stared at him coldly and said, “Don’t tell me these useless things. I just want to know where that kid’s fruits came from. If two Fire Spirit Fruits can grow, then ten can grow. How many more are there?”

Master Wuyan grinned and looked at Wang Lan. He knew that he could not hide it from this old fellow, but how could he let Wang Lan participate in such a huge deal?

“Apothecary Wang, you also know that we have always respected you very much. You are the most famous alchemist among the rogue cultivators within a thousand miles. We have also cooperated a lot.”

“That’s not what I want to hear.”

“Master, I think we’ve already done our best for you. However, this deal is a deal of our Golden Mountain Pavilion and has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to get involved in this matter!”

Wang Lan’s eyes finally widened. After thinking for a while, he nodded gently.

“I understand.”

After Li Yuanqing left the Golden Bamboo Mountain, he did not return to the sect immediately.

Instead, he took a huge detour and arrived at a very remote valley. He stayed here for a long time.

He had made a huge deal this time. However, he did not know if someone would follow him. If he returned to the sect with a tail, his whereabouts would be exposed in the future.

In the Immortal World, where there were many experts, he did not want to be targeted.

However, from the looks of it, the black market security measures of the Golden Bamboo Mountain were not bad. No one followed him. However, that crazy old man looked strange and seemed to have some methods.

There was a very strong smell of herbs on that old man. One look and one could tell that he was an experienced alchemist. However, in Li Yuanqing’s impression, alchemists were usually very wise and mighty, but this old man was sloppy.

He took out the fifty high-grade spirit stones and weighed them in his hand.

Although he had indeed sold the fruits he had planted, there was another problem that had yet to be resolved. How could he make up for the losses of the sect?

After thinking about it, he finally targeted Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked at Li Yuanqing, who was waiting outside the medicinal garden. Although he did not know why this kid had returned after leaving for half a day, he still invited Li Yuanqing in on account of his generosity.

“In my opinion, you should stop playing tricks since you’ve only been here for two days.” Wang Lin could have let it go on account of the treasure, but Li Yuanqing was too exaggerated. He had only been here for two days, but he was already thinking of tricking him out of his decades of tricks.

This kid was too greedy. He would be discovered by the sect sooner or later. If he was discovered, he might even expose him.

Li Yuanqing casually took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table.

Originally, Wang Lin still had many complaints to say in his heart, but he was not as angry when he saw the spirit stones. However, he still felt a sense of danger.

“Brother, I really treat you as my biological brother. That’s why I told you that these sects are not fools. You’ve only been here for a short while. If you want to tamper with it, you’ll definitely be discovered. You should restrain yourself.”

Although he said that, his hands were not idle. He carefully put the spirit stone into his pocket.

Li Yuanqing smiled in satisfaction when he saw this. His expression changed and he said in frustration, “After thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong. I’m not too familiar with this place. I’m afraid that if I go to the black market, I’ll be ambushed or bumped into by my fellow disciples. Wouldn’t this matter be exposed?”

“So you should plant the medicine properly first.”

Li Yuanqing looked at Wang Lin bitterly and complained, “Senior Brother Wang, you don’t know. The rules of this sect are really too strict. I accidentally broke two vines. There are so many gaps, and I don’t dare to go to the black market. The only person I can trust is you.”

“My production is only so much. There’s not much.”

“Didn’t Senior Brother say that he could get the materials issued by the clan sect to make his own medicinal field?”

Wang Lin’s face twitched slightly as he cursed in his heart. Back then, when he saw the treasure, he spoke too quickly and was remembered by this kid.

“I’m just saying that perhaps those things can be used.”

“Senior Brother, since you’re going to sell them in the black market, why don’t you sell the fruits you planted to me? This way, we’ll be happy.”

Wang Lin carefully sized up Li Yuanqing again. Why was this kid so arrogant at such a young age? How many spirit stones could he have in his hands?

Seeing that there was a chance, Li Yuanqing immediately said, “Look, only you know about this. No one else will know, and it will save a lot of trouble, right?”

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and said carefully, “I only have a little more. If you really have a gap, I can fill it.”

“I wonder how much did others bid when you went to the black market to sell?”

“The price in the black market is slightly higher than outside because the quality here is high. Most of the time, it costs three or four high-grade spirit stones for a hundred Fire Spirit Fruits.”

Wang Lin thought that Li Yuanqing would not be able to take much. At least he would be able to cut him.

Li Yuanqing grabbed Wang Lin’s outstretched hand. “Senior Brother, I’ll give you five spirit stones. Sell all your Fire Spirit Fruits to me in the future!”

“All of them?”

“That’s right, all of them!”

“Why do you want so much?”

“Senior Brother, don’t worry about that.” Li Yuanqing regretted it as soon as he said that. He thought for a moment and explained, “I just arrived and wanted to make a name for myself in the sect.”

Wang Lin nodded in realization and immediately persuaded, “Little guy, don’t say that I didn’t remind you. Even if you stand out, the masters in the sect won’t like you. You should try your best to increase your cultivation. Isn’t it much better to use high-grade spirit stones to cultivate than to use them on this?”

“Since you have already agreed, don’t say anything else. I know my limits.”

Seeing that it was useless to persuade him, Wang Lin let him be.

Although he did not know why this kid had so many spirit stones and came here to work at the medicinal field, he was most satisfied that all the spirit stones of this stupid kid were in his storage bag.

In any case, this little fool was already like this. No matter where he went, he would be cheated of spirit stones.

Others could cheat him of these spirit stones, so why couldn’t he?

“Are you really going to get a hundred? I mean.”

Wang Lin was stammering when Li Yuanqing looked at him firmly and said, “Senior Brother, I want as many as you have. I have plenty of spirit stones here. As long as you can take them out, give them all to me!”

“You have to think carefully. This is not as simple as one or two spirit stones.”

Wang Lin felt that something was wrong. There was something wrong with this kid’s brain.

“Senior Brother, you don’t have to worry. Keep all your fruits for me. I’ll prepare the spirit stones now.” As Li Yuanqing spoke, he took out twenty spirit stones and placed them on the table. “This is the deposit. It would be best if you have enough.”

After Li Yuanqing threw down the deposit, he left Wang Lin in a hurry and stared in the direction Li Yuanqing had left with his mouth agape. He turned around and arrived in a very dark passageway. After walking along the passageway for a long time, it suddenly became clear.

A few huge pearls were embedded in the wall, along with the mountainside and the outside world. The light from the high sun outside passed through these pearls and scattered evenly on the large medicinal field below.

Wang Lin had actually dug out so many fields in the mountainside. He walked through the medicinal fields and looked at the Fire Spirit Fruits that were about to ripen. There were probably more than a thousand fire spirit fruits in every medicinal field.

Although the fields here were not as vast as outside, there were still dozens of them.

This time, his gains were too great.

The price of fruits outside was unstable to begin with. Sometimes, people would give him two spirit stones for a hundred. He had no choice.

However, Li Yuanqing was really rich now. He directly shouted out the price of five high-grade spirit stones. This was more than twice the stable price.

No matter what kind of situation this kid was in, it was enough for him to earn so much at once. At most, he would run away after making this last sum. In any case, he already vaguely felt that his actions were about to be exposed.

“In that case, there’s no need to hide it anymore.”

At this moment, Wang Lin had already walked to the center of the field, a circular area. He gently leaned down and pressed his hand to the ground, chanting.

Slowly, the ground lit up with rays of light in the field.

Those lights seemed to be suppressed by something and could not be released. The spiritual energy in these fields was not as dense as outside.

However, at this moment, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and stuffed five huge spirit stones onto the control array disc.

A powerful force instantly burst out.
