2666 Change of att.i.tude
Ling Han nodded, and cracked a grin. “That’s right.”
The w.a.n.g Clan had great power, and their grand elder was even a Third Tier Heavenly Venerate. Thus, the difficulty of obtaining Divine Metal for the w.a.n.g Clan definitely was much lower than for Ling Han. If it were not because of this, what need would there be for Ling Han to cooperate with the w.a.n.g Clan? He could concoct alchemical pills himself, and all the profit would be his.
w.a.n.g Qianyang considered for a while, and said, “Agreed!”
But he immediately continued, “Divine Metal is too valuable. Young friend, you would have to concoct a great many alchemical pills to exchange for a single piece.”
!!
“I know.” Ling Han nodded. “You can deliver the ingredients to me tomorrow.”
w.a.n.g Qianyang laughed. This kind of swift decisiveness in Ling Han’s style was really to his tastes. Suddenly, he had an idea, but after slight hesitation, he reconsidered. ‘When this boy has concocted a few cauldrons of alchemical pills, I’ll consider this again after checking the grade and pill concoction success rate.’
“I’ll take my leave.” Ling Han clasped his hands together. Since the major matter was already decided, there was no further need for him to stay any longer.
“Young friend, won’t you have some wine?” w.a.n.g Qianyang tried to urge him to stay.
Ling Han did not speak, and merely signaled at the foot of the mountain.
Only now did w.a.n.g Qianyang recall how the abode below them had already been destroyed by the shock wave from the battle between Ling Han and w.a.n.g Qianyang, so he could only grin awkwardly, and said, “Please, young friend.”
Only after Ling Han had left did w.a.n.g Jiayue walk out.
“Grandfather, why are you so polite to that mad man?” she asked, acting spoiled.
w.a.n.g Qianyang revealed an amiable smile. He had always liked this granddaughter. “He has true ability, so he can naturally be mad.”
w.a.n.g Jiayue pouted. “He’s just slightly skilled in battle.”
“Hahaha!” w.a.n.g Qianyang laughed loudly. He stroked his granddaughter’s head, and suddenly said, “Yue Yue, you aren’t very little any longer, and now you have broken through to the Celestial King Tier, so it should be about time that you consider the matter of marriage, right?”
w.a.n.g Jiayue instantly became shy, stomped her foot, and exclaimed, “I have no wish to marry. I want to stay with Grandfather!”
“Silly girl, who wouldn’t marry when they grew up?”
***
Ling Han returned to his own abode, and recounted the events of today to the women, which also made the latter shake their heads repeatedly. This husband was really not the type to let their hearts rest easy. Wherever he went, he would be causing trouble.
The very next morning, as expected, the w.a.n.g Clan sent an important character to deliver the ingredients for alchemy.
It was w.a.n.g Yangming.
These ingredients were too valuable. What was to be done if there was a robbery on their way here?
With a Ninth Heaven Celestial King’s protection on the way, even if he encountered someone that he could not match, he could still easily and happily escape.
w.a.n.g Yangming clearly did not like Ling Han very much. After arriving here, he tossed a Spatial G.o.d Tool over to Ling Han and left quickly, as if looking at Ling Han any longer would upset him.
Ling Han naturally would not be concerned. w.a.n.g Yangming did not like him, and he, too, did not like w.a.n.g Yangming very much, either.
For the sake of Divine Metal, Ling Han began pill concoction.
He examined the ingredients that the w.a.n.g Clan had delivered first, and couldn’t help but feel rueful. They were indeed a n.o.ble clan; they were very wealthy.
These ingredients were enough to concoct seven cauldrons’ worth of Celestial-King-Tier pills, and according to w.a.n.g Yangming, this was only a negligible amount.
A force whose existence was measured in epochs truly had extraordinary wealth.
Ling Han channeled his physique, and time accelerated. In only a few hours, he concocted his first cauldron of alchemical pills.
“Perfect and flawless.” Ling Han smiled. As his cultivation level progressed, it was also an easy matter for him to concoct Celestial-King-Tier pills. Not only could he ensure his pill completion rate, the grade of the completed pills would either be High Grade or Peak Grade.
He continued, and he concocted all seven cauldrons’ worth of alchemical pills in a single day.
Then, he notified w.a.n.g Yangming to come and collect the alchemical pills.
Not too long after, w.a.n.g Yangming arrived, but his expression was slightly dark.
“Why have you asked me to come?” he demanded impatiently.
“The alchemical pills are completed. You can take them now.” Ling Han tossed over that same Spatial G.o.d Tool.
w.a.n.g Yangming scoffed. What kind of joke was this? Only a single day had pa.s.sed, and Ling Han had concocted all the alchemical pills? Did he think that w.a.n.g Yangming only knew to ingest alchemical pills, and had absolutely zero knowledge of alchemy?
“Brat, one should be down-to-earth— yi!”
He was just about to teach Ling Han the proper way to behave, but when his divine sense extended into the Spatial G.o.d Tool, he immediately released a shocked exclamation because there were indeed seven bottles of alchemical pills inside.
‘This can’t be real, right?’
w.a.n.g Yangming hurriedly took out a bottle of alchemical pills, and after removing the cork, his expression was instantly moved.
They were real alchemical pills!
He switched to another bottle. This was real as well; all seven of them were.
Concocting seven cauldrons of Celestial-King-Tier alchemical pills in a single day was amazing.
‘Hang on!’
w.a.n.g Yangming looked stunned. Making those seven cauldrons of alchemical pills was indeed theoretically possible, but wasn’t it very normal for the cauldron to explode in the process of pill concoction? Especially in the case of Celestial-King-Tier pills. The concoction process was naturally even more difficult, and the cauldron exploding was an extremely common occurrence.
To successively concoct seven cauldrons, while the good luck for all seven cauldrons was off the charts, with not one exploding… Was there any such coincidence?
w.a.n.g Yangming took a deep breath, and then nodded. “Young friend Ling, I have underestimated you previously!” He bowed slightly towards Ling Han as courtesy.
Ling Han couldn’t help but greatly change his opinion of this man. As expected of one who was born in a n.o.ble clan. Though it was inevitable that he would have some arrogance, he was able to go with the flow, and his manner was extraordinary as well.
“It’s fine.” Ling Han nodded.
“I will immediately meet with the clan leader. Hehe, I hope we will develop a stronger relations.h.i.+p in the future,” w.a.n.g Yangming said, smiling.
Ling Han bared his teeth in a grin. This old geezer had really changed his att.i.tude too much and too fast, which made it hard for Ling Han to adjust to it all of a sudden. He kept feeling that this old geezer had some kind of ulterior motive.
w.a.n.g Yangming left, and very soon returned. This time, he brought a great amount of ingredients, enough to concoct 20 cauldrons’ worth of Celestial-King-Tier pills.
Ling Han continued his pill concoction, and he notified w.a.n.g Yangming to come again only three days later.
Though w.a.n.g Yangming had long since prepared himself, he still got a great shock.
20 cauldrons, not one pill less. This had reached the greatest value theoretically possible.
w.a.n.g Yangming was amazed, and left once more with the alchemical pills.
A day later, w.a.n.g Qianyang came personally… along with w.a.n.g Jiayue. She had already pa.s.sed through the Nine Deaths Formation, and had become an official disciple of the martial academy.
“Young friend, though I have already had very high expectations of you, to think that still was an underestimation.” w.a.n.g Qianyang sighed ruefully.
He thought back to his conversation with Ling Han several days ago. When the latter had lightly said that he could concoct any kind of alchemical pill, w.a.n.g Qianyang had not taken it seriously. He thought that it was inevitable that Ling Han would exaggerate, having achieved such accomplishments at such a young age, and had not imagined that not only had Ling Han just told the truth as it had been, he had basically been modest.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Jiayue’s beautiful eyes were bright as she looked at Ling Han in surprise. She also found out about Ling Han’s various feats in the last few days, and finally knew how amazing this guy was.
In comparison, Ma Yuhai was practically trash.
“Young friend, there are three pieces of Divine Metal here.” w.a.n.g Qianyang handed over a Spatial Celestial Tool.
Ling Han naturally would not be reserved; he stretched out his hand and took it. With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately grinned.
As expected of the w.a.n.g Clan, they were truly wealthy. Even for something as valuable as Divine Metal, they could give out three pieces in a single stroke.
“You’ve given too much.” Ling Han was pleased, but still spoke frankly.
Though he had concocted close to 30 cauldrons’ worth of alchemical pills, with the prerequisite of taking 50% of the profits, one piece of Divine Metal was enough for his fee.
w.a.n.g Qianyang laughed loudly. “The remaining two pieces will be an advance payment then.”
There was something as good as this?
Ling Han smiled. “Does Clan Leader w.a.n.g have some other business?”
w.a.n.g Qianyang was pleased. This brat really knew how to read between the lines. “My Yue Yue has reached an appropriate age, and wishes to seek an ideal husband—”
He had not even finished his words when Ling Han interrupted, and said, “I have a brother who has astonis.h.i.+ng natural talent in cultivation, and has not yet married at present.”
w.a.n.g Qianyang’s face instantly turned dark.
