Chapter 120 The Dao of Alchemy Accepts Disciples
Ziyun's gaze fell on Elder Zhao, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Alchemists are guided by integrity, and those who cheat should be despised by all alchemists in the world. I will report today's events to the Alchemist Guild. Elder Zhao's sixth-grade alchemist qualification is probably in jeopardy."
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhao was struck dumb, Local.
Her sixth-grade alchemist qualification was revoked, which meant that she could no longer walk the cultivation world as an alchemist!
For her, this was worse than death!
"No...don't..."
Elder Zhao wanted to beg for mercy, but Elder Liu grabbed him.
"Enough! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?!"
Elder Liu gave a sharp shout and winked at the disciples behind him.
Two Danxia Sect disciples stepped forward, helped the distraught Elder Zhao up, and hurriedly left Ziyun Pavilion.
Elder Liu gave Zhou Tian a deep look, his eyes filled with apprehension and resentment.
"Your 'righteous words' today have been remembered by our Danxia Sect. May we meet again someday!"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhou Tian's response and turned to leave with the Danxia Sect members.
But his back view looked rather disheveled.
Inside the hall, the guests watched the direction where the Danxia Sect members had left, and discussed among themselves.
"I never imagined that the Danxia Sect would actually cheat!"
"That senior is amazing! They saw through it at a glance!"
"Heartfire! That's a technique only a grandmaster of alchemy can master!"
"Purple Cloud Pavilion has truly turned misfortune into a blessing, forging an alliance with such a remarkable person!"
Ziyun walked up to Zhou Tian and gave him a graceful bow.
"Thank you for your help, senior. If it weren't for you, Ziyun Pavilion would have suffered a great loss today."
As she spoke, a hint of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"May I ask your honorable name, senior? I, Ziyun, will certainly pay you a visit in the future to express my gratitude."
Zhou Tian waved his hand.
"It was nothing, don't worry about it."
He paused, then looked at Ziyun.
"I came here today to check out Ziyun Pavilion's pill business. But now it seems there's no need to."
Upon hearing this, Ziyun's heart tightened.
"Why do you say that, senior? Is there something wrong with Ziyun Pavilion?"
Zhou Tian shook his head.
"It's not that it's bad, it's that it's too good."
His gaze swept over the dazzling array of pills displayed in the hall, and he said calmly, "The Purple Cloud Pavilion has a complete range of pills, and the quality is quite good. However..."
"Just what?" Ziyun asked hurriedly.
"The only thing missing is a true master alchemist to oversee things."
Zhou Tian looked at the woman surnamed Su.
"Although this Master Su is a sixth-grade alchemist, his control over the heat is still lacking. He can refine fourth-grade pills, but he probably can't handle fifth-grade or higher ones."
Upon hearing this, the woman surnamed Su looked ashamed.
"Senior's insight is truly remarkable. This junior has indeed been stuck at the sixth rank for many years, unable to break through."
Zhou Tian nodded.
"The path of alchemy emphasizes comprehension and accumulation. Your foundation is solid, but you are too bound by traditional methods and lack flexibility. If you can break free from these constraints, you can expect to reach the seventh rank."
The woman surnamed Su's eyes lit up.
"Please enlighten me, senior!"
Zhou Tian smiled but didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Zi Yun.
"Master of Ziyun Pavilion, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."
Ziyun's heart stirred.
"Please speak, senior."
"It's very simple."
Zhou Tian said calmly, "From today onwards, I will supply all the pills for Ziyun Pavilion. The quality will be upgraded by at least one grade, while the price will remain the same. The profit will be split 70/30 between me and you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience was stunned.
He supplied all the elixirs for Ziyun Pavilion?
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of fantasy novels.
Upgrade the quality to a higher level, but keep the price the same?
That's incredibly arrogant!
Ziyun Pavilion sells thousands of pills every day, ranging from first to fourth grade.
How could one person possibly supply enough?
Moreover, a quality upgrade means going from second-grade to third-grade, and from third-grade to fourth-grade...
What terrifying alchemical skills would that require?!
Ziyun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.
"Senior...is this true?"
"Naturally true."
As Zhou Tian spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Zi Yun.
"This is a sample; you can take a look."
Ziyun took the jade bottle and uncorked it.
Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, invigorating all who smelled it.
Inside the jade bottle lay three crystal-clear pills with faint cloud-like patterns on their surface.
It is indeed a Grade Four Jade Marrow Pill!
However, unlike the Jade Marrow Pills sold at Ziyun Pavilion, these three pills have clearer cloud patterns and a purer medicinal fragrance.
More importantly, there was a faint shimmering light on the surface of the pill, which was a sign of the highly concentrated medicinal properties!
"This...this is a top-grade Jade Marrow Pill?!"
The woman surnamed Su gasped in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She has been refining Jade Marrow Pills for many years, and her best achievement is only a superior grade.
She had never even seen a top-grade Jade Marrow Pill before!
Ziyun was also greatly shocked.
Although she is not an alchemist, she has been running the Purple Cloud Pavilion for many years and has a good eye for alchemy.
These three Jade Marrow Pills are of absolutely top-grade quality!
Moreover, its medicinal properties are so pure that it is stronger than any Jade Marrow Pill she has ever seen!
"Senior...did you refine these three Jade Marrow Pills?"
Ziyun's voice trembled slightly.
Zhou Tian nodded.
"I just practiced it casually for fun, it's nothing special."
Just casually practicing...
Ziyun and the woman surnamed Su exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
