Xia Yushan let out a bitter smile and said, "This is my father, also the head of the Qingyun Pavilion in Flowing Moon City, a first-class spirit alchemist."
Ye Wushuang made a respectful gesture with his hands.
Xia Lei realized he had been too eager and lost his composure, and hastily said, "At first glance, the pills of Young Master Ye are extraordinary. I am also an alchemist, and I was too anxious for a moment. My apologies, my apologies..."
"No problem, since that's the case, Master Lei, please examine the pills!"
"Very well, very well..."
Saying this, the four of them went to another room where five types of pills were laid out on the table.
With a flick of his finger, Xia Lei gathered strands of spiritual energy, extracted a trace from the outside of the pills, and gathered it in his palm. He carefully observed it for a while, then gently placed it on the tip of his tongue.
Refining Qi Pill!
Tempering Bone Pill!
Inner Essence Pill!
These three types of pills are quite beneficial to martial artists in the physical refinement stage. Not only in Flowing Moon City but also within the Qingyun Empire, they are quite common.
But the more common they are, the more alchemists there are who can refine them, and the more varied the quality of these three types of pills becomes.
After tasting the Refining Qi Pill, Xia Lei moved on to the Tempering Bone Pill, and then the Inner Essence Pill.
After tasting all of them, Xia Lei stood there for a moment, silent.
"Father, how is it?"
Xia Yushan couldn't help but ask.
Her father was not the type to be indecisive, but why was he silent after the appraisal?
At this moment, Xia Lei looked at Ye Wushuang with a solemn expression and said earnestly, "Young Master Ye, the Refining Qi Pill usually costs one hundred taels of silver per pill, while the Tempering Bone Pill is three hundred taels of silver per pill, and the Inner Essence Pill is worth a thousand taels!
"As for the Refining Qi Pill, Tempering Bone Pill, and Inner Essence Pill that you refined, I will buy them at three times the price, and the Inner Essence Pill, I will buy at double the price, how about that?"
Hearing this, Xia Yushan, who was standing by, was stunned.
Her father actually wanted to... buy at a premium!
"Father... are you sure?"
The general value of a Refining Qi Pill was a hundred taels of silver, and what they sold at Qingyun Pavilion was around one hundred and twenty taels, but if they bought at three times the price, the cost would be three hundred taels, and they would have to sell for at least three hundred and more to make it worthwhile. But... who would spend more than three hundred taels on a single Refining Qi Pill?
Xia Lei, however, said directly, "I'm sure!"
Looking at Ye Wushuang again, Xia Lei said sincerely, "Young Master Ye, if you don't mind, I can make a decision and hire you as a guest alchemist for Qingyun Pavilion!"
"The so-called guest alchemist has more freedom. In the future, when Young Master Ye refines pills, the medicinal materials we sell at Qingyun Pavilion can be at a 30% discount. The pills you refine in the future, we will have the priority to purchase, and with the title of Qingyun Pavilion alchemist, you can stay in any branch of Qingyun Pavilion within the Qingyun Empire at any time, and Young Master Ye does not need to bear any responsibilities, how about that?"
Hearing these words, Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
"Young Master Ye!" Seeing Ye Wushuang seemed hesitant, Xia Lei said again, "If Young Master Ye sells enough pills to Qingyun Pavilion, you can improve your guest status within Qingyun Pavilion, and we will help you with many things to a certain extent."
Xia Lei knew Ye Wushuang's current situation and was now showing his greatest sincerity.
Xia Yushan, standing by, was astonished.
Was it necessary?
They were just three ordinary pills; was it necessary for her father to offer such high conditions to invite Ye Wushuang?
Xu Qiyuan, hearing this, was also tempted and said with a smile, "Master Xia Lei is indeed good at handling affairs. As far as I know, behind Qingyun Pavilion is the royal family of the Qingyun Empire. Qingyun Pavilion is suppressed by the Sacred Pill Pavilion everywhere, and it seems they are really eager for talents."
Xia Lei smiled, but at this moment, he looked at Ye Wushuang with anticipation.
If Ye Wushuang could become a guest of Qingyun Pavilion, not to mention anything else, within Flowing Moon City, Qingyun Pavilion would definitely be able to suppress the Sacred Pill Pavilion!
"Master Xia Lei," Ye Wushuang said with a smile, "you haven't tested the other two pills yet..."
Xia Lei immediately replied, "These two pills must also be extraordinary. It's not too late to test them later. Young Master Ye, I hope you will consider what I've said."
"Throughout the Qingyun Empire, only the Shengdan Pavilion and Qingyun Pavilion can offer the most favorable conditions to alchemists. I can say that with Young Master Ye's alchemy skills, if you are willing to join our Qingyun Pavilion now, neither the Yun family nor the Qin family would dare to touch you!"
In fact, Xia Lei had wanted to invite Ye Wushuang to join Qingyun Pavilion as an alchemist from the beginning, but he felt it was too abrupt, so he proposed that Ye Wushuang become a guest alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion.
Seeing that Ye Wushuang seemed uninterested, Xia Lei was genuinely anxious.
Refining Qi Pill!
Tempering Bone Pill!
Inner Essence Pill!
These three types of pills are too common, but the ones refined by Ye Wushuang, each pill's medicinal effect, is enough to be three times higher than ordinary pills.
He is a first-class spirit alchemist, and he still has the ability to test pills!
How did Ye Wushuang learn alchemy?
The perfect pill yield, and the medicinal effect is even more exaggeratedly strong!
"Master Xia Lei, I..."
"Young Master Ye, I know that the Ye family is in a difficult situation now, and you are supporting it alone, facing restrictions everywhere. Our Qingyun Pavilion can secretly send a few martial artists in the physical refinement stage to take care of your family!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang fell silent.
In fact, Ye Wushuang didn't feel much about the status of a guest alchemist, but Xia Lei's words really touched him.
"Good!"
Ye Wushuang nodded and said, "There's no problem with becoming a guest alchemist of your Qingyun Pavilion, but I've always disliked being restricted, so I hope what you said is true!"
"Definitely, definitely."
Seeing Ye Wushuang agree, Master Xia Lei was even more excited and began to test the pills.
Bone Mending Pill!
Youth Preservation Pill!
Xia Lei rarely saw these two types of pills.
However, after careful examination, Xia Lei was even more delighted.
Too strong!
How can Ye Wushuang's alchemy be so good?
"The Bone Mending Pill can allow martial artists in the physical refinement stage to regenerate broken bones, as long as the bones are not shattered, it can be sold for at least ten thousand taels of silver. Such a pill is very rare, and it should not be sold directly, but auctioned! Only then can we maximize profits!"
"As for the Youth Preservation Pill... those ladies of the family, I'm afraid they would be willing to spend any amount of silver..."
After pondering for a moment, Xia Lei rubbed his hands and said, "The Bone Mending Pill and the Youth Preservation Pill, our Qingyun Pavilion will take them to auction. When they are sold at auction, our Qingyun Pavilion will take ten percent, and the rest will belong to Young Master Ye, how about that?"
"Good."
"Then the price for these Refining Qi Pills, Tempering Bone Pills, and Inner Essence Pills adds up to thirty-two thousand taels of silver. I will order someone to bring the silver tickets right away."
"Hmm."
After the transaction was completed, Ye Wushuang took the silver tickets and left Qingyun Pavilion with Xu Qiyuan.
On the street, Xu Qiyuan looked at Ye Wushuang, amazed, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master Ye, you are proficient in both formation and alchemy. Is there anything you can't do? You wouldn't really be able to refine artifacts, would you?"
Ye Wushuang just smiled and headed towards the direction of Ye Mansion.
Passing by the candied hawthorn shop, Ye Wushuang naturally didn't forget to bring two skewers for Feifei.
Ye Mansion is located on the west side of Flowing Moon City, an old district with fewer residents, and it looks a bit desolate on ordinary days.
However, as Ye Wushuang and Xu Qiyuan walked through the streets and alleys, the people around them became fewer and fewer, and it was excessively quiet even in broad daylight.
Xu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows at this moment and whispered, "Young Master Ye..."
"I know."
At this moment, the two arrived at a spacious street, but there was not a single figure around.
Ye Wushuang's tone suddenly rose, sneering, "You've been following for a whole journey, if you don't make a move now, I will be back to Ye Mansion!"
"It will be too late to make a move then!"
As Ye Wushuang's words fell, several figures appeared one by one in front, behind, and on both sides of the street.
