Chapter 161: Who Tricked Who


161 Who Tricked Who


Alex is currently thinking about what he will do with this Jade Heart Pill. After all, this is a Jade Heart Pill. He can choose to eat it himself. Unfortunately, it is only a 95% purity pill. He refrains himself from eating pills that didn"t have perfect purity. After all, it might hurt his foundation.


He wanted to go back to the inn first to think about the next plan. Unbeknownst to him, while he is walking. The lady from before still waiting for him. When she finally saw his figure, she came to him.


"How is it? Are you succeeded in making a Heart Jade Pill."


Alex wanted to say no to hide his Heart Jade Pill, but an evil plan flashed in his mind. He grinned inwardly, "Time to racking up some cash."


"Yes, I have succeeded" Alex nodded.


"What about purity?" She asked.


"Why do you ask? Are you going to rob me?" Alex suddenly acts like he scared. Well, he is just a puny Martial Master, and the one in front of him is an Inner Disciple, she must be at least a Martial Grandmaster. It was proven since he can"t see her cultivation stage. That must mean that her cultivation is far stronger than him.


"I wanted to buy it from you if your pill purity is 80% or above."


"But, I...I wanted to eat it myself. I never got this lucky"


"If your pill had 80% purity, I will buy it from you for eight hundred Spirit Stones. If you had 90% purity, I would buy it from you for one thousand Spirit Stones."


"What about...95%?" Alex asked, innocently.


"You...you made Jade Heart Pill with 95% purity?" She was shocked. It was tough for even 3rd Rank Alchemist to make this High 2nd Rank Pill. Usually, only 4th Rank Alchemists can make this pill with such high purity. But, they were rather not to make this pill since it wasn"t worth their time.


"But...I want to eat it myself" Alex said weakly. Now, he looks like an honest child.


"How about this, I will buy it from you for a thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones. You can still buy fifteen sets of ingredients with it" She said while smiling.


"But, I don"t know if I can get so lucky anymore" Alex said while looking like he is pondering something.


"Since you are lucky today, you might be able to make it again. How about this, I will give you one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones along with three sets of Jade Heart Pill medicinal ingredients for you. The way you are now, you might be able to make it again today" Since he is only a 1-Star Martial Master and he seems very innocent, she decided to trick him. Though the Jade Heart Pill with 95% purity is around one thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones, their stock is very rare. So rarely they get this pill and increase their foundation. Even she can only get Jade Heart Pill with 90% purity when she was a Martial Master.


She thought evilly, "Come come, agree to it. Although I don"t want to bully a little Martial Master. I will teach you that you can"t trust others so easily in this cultivation world. Though the price is your Jade Heart Pill"


Unbeknownst to her, Alex also plotted against her too. He is grinning in his heart, but he can"t let out his emotion out now, he needs to keep his innocent and poker face. "Is that so? Can I really make it again?"


"Of course" She said while smiling. Inwardly, she grinned evilly.


"All right. I agree to sell it to you. Elder Sister, you are very generous" Alex said innocently while smiling. Inwardly, he scratched his neck continuously. Speaking like this make his throat itchy.


"Miss, please give us three more sets of Jade Heart Pill." The young lady smiled. The earlier receptionist that served Alex immediately left she sighed. An innocent young man just got tricked.


(AN: He is 20 years old, all right...)


Not long after, she came back with the ingredients. The young lady paid the two hundred forty Spirit Stones to her. "Here is the ingredients. I will wait for you to finish these three sets of ingredients first. After that, I will give you one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones, and you will give me the pill in your hand no matter what the result. Is that fine with you?"


"Yes. Thank you very much, older sister. You are very generous." Alex said, innocently. He then walked toward his previous Alchemy room. The young lady is waving her hand at him while inwardly, she made a huge smile. "According to the plan!"


Alex went inside his room and closed the door. He laughed a bit. "Haha, A Jade Heart Pill with 95% purity can bring me another three pills plus one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones. I"m a genius."


He let out his Pure Fire and started refining the pills. After around two hours, he finally finished all of the pills. In front of him are three green pills, they were Jade Heart Pills with perfect purity. He is thinking about how to spend all these three, he can"t sell it in here after all, or they will be conspicuous. Well, he will eat one, and another one he will give it to Kens.h.i.+n. As for the last...Hikotaka? No way, in fact, he didn"t like this Hikotaka. Sherry? He wasn"t sure if Sherry will need this pill. He decided to save the last for now.


Alex waited for a bit more to make her think that he was struggling to make the pill. After another hour, he finally went out of the room while putting a sad face.


Looking at Alex"s sad face, the young lady knows what the result is. She smiled and came to him. "How about it?"


"I didn"t succeed a single time." Alex said with a sad tone.


"There there. Here is one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones." She presents the Spirit Stones in front of Alex. "Where is the pill?"


"The pill..." Alex look hesitated to hand the pill since he failed.


"I"m sure you can make it again. You can buy another fifteen sets with this Spirit Stones. But, you can"t break a promise you made. If not, you won"t be able to reach high." She said while smiling. Though it looks like a sister teaching a younger brother, she still didn"t know that all of it was within Alex"s plan.


"Yes. What Elder Sister said is right. I shouldn"t break my promise. I"m wrong Elder Sister. This is the pill" Alex said while giving her the pill.


"Good, since you are a Martial Master, are you going to join Heavenly Sword Sect a week from now?" She asked.


"Yes." Alex nodded.


"What is your name? Since I"m an Inner Disciple. If we met again inside the Sect, I would take care of you." She thought since the young man in front of her made a Jade Heart Pill with 95% purity. Even though she didn"t know his alchemist rank, But his skill alone is very noteworthy. He is as skilled as a 3rd Rank Alchemist. If she can be a good elder sister figure in front of him and monopolize his Alchemy skill, then it will be a good thing for her.


"Is that right, Elder Sister? I"m Franklin." Alex introduced himself with a fake name.


"I"m Elisa. Nice to meet you, Franklin" she said. It seems that it wasn"t her true name either.


"It"s my pleasure to have met a kind Elder Sister before I even become a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect." Alex smiled.


"That"s good. Elder sister needs to go back now. See you later inside the Sect."


"Yes. See you later, Elder Sister" Alex waves his hand. The receptionist girl earlier facepalmed. She can"t be rude to an Alchemist like him, she can only think in her heart. "Haiz, you are too innocent. How about I"m the one who teaches you? I can even teach you in bed and make you a man."


After saying goodbye to Elisa, Alex also left the Alchemist Guild. His heart was full of joy at the moment. "Haha, Just as planned...who tricked who! You give three sets of ingredients along with one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones to me. And all of it was only from my eighty Spirit Stones that I used to buy a single set of ingredients. I really love this job."


"What am I going to do now..." Alex is pondering while looking at the bright orange sky. The sun almost set. He took too long when making those pills. He chose to familiarize himself with the town first. There seems to be Alchemist Guild and Forging Master Guild in this town. And even the rare Array Master Guild was present in this town. Since this town is beside the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is natural for them to set a guild here.


He didn"t have any plan to get an ident.i.ty as an Array Master for the time being. He might register when he reached Grandmaster stage, if not Martial Lord stage. That way, he can at least protect himself.


When the night comes, Alex decided to go back to the inn. When he opened his door. Kens.h.i.+n seems to hear the clicking sound. He went out of his room. "Alex, where have you been?"


"Who are you? You are not my mom. It is disgusting when you are acting like my girlfriend" Alex said in disgust.


"No no, that wasn"t what I mean. I just worried that you get into trouble since we didn"t know anyone in this town de gozaru." Kens.h.i.+n said while scratching his cheek.


Alex shook his head, helplessly. He took out the Jade Heart Pill from his s.p.a.ce ring and tossed it to Kens.h.i.+n. Kens.h.i.+n grabbed the green pill, he was confused. "What is this pill, Alex?"


"Jade Heart Pill"


"Is that so? This is too much for me" Kens.h.i.+n wanted to reject him, but Alex stopped him. "It"s fine. You can say that it is my investment in you."


"I will pay you back in the future. Thank you very much, Alex" Kens.h.i.+n bowed to him.


"You are not going to ask me about purity? you are going to hurt your foundation if I give you a bad pill, you know."


"No need. I trust you completely de gozaru" Kens.h.i.+n said sincerely


Alex sighed helplessly. "It"s perfect purity, Jade Heart Pill."


After hearing what Alex said, His hand started shaking. He was too surprised to hear that. "Can I take back what I said?"


"Which one?"


"I don"t want it anymore. How can you give such a precious pill to me." Kens.h.i.+n said with his shocked face.


"Don"t worry, just take it" while whispering, "I have another one."


"But still..."


"I"m wondering why do you think it is a precious pill?" Alex asked.


"Ah... I forget that you are pretty ignorant with something like this" Kens.h.i.+n shook his head in defeat. "This is a perfect pill for strengthening a foundation of Martial Master. The demand is high, but the product is scarce. Though the cost to buy the pill was still lower than 3rd Rank Pill. It was very rare to see a perfect purity pill like this in the market. My sister sends a letter back then, and she said that she ate Jade Heart Pill with 90% Purity. It cost her one thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones, but it also because she uses her connection to buy it so it should be more."


"What?" Alex was shocked, it is the same price as the one he sold, but he has 95% purity. He realized that the woman tricked him. "What about the one with 95% purity?"


"I don"t really know much, but it should be around one thousand Spirit Stones. But if I need to say it. It might be around one thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones, and if you need it immediately, it usually went higher than that. And this pill you just gave me, it must be more than two thousand Spirit Stones. Even so, it usually wasn"t in the market. Since this is the Hardest 2nd Rank Pill, according to Elder Sister"s words."


"As expected, I was tricked by that woman. How dare she, I will teach her a lesson when we met again" Alex gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he didn"t get tricked too much. It was still in his tolerance level.
