Chapter 213: Afraid I’d Default

Su Chen shook his head in his heart. The level of the alchemy world in the Yunyuan Empire was indeed too low. There was a precedent of using red crystal snake gallbladder to refine wind and fire pills before, and now the nine-flower grass was wasted on the nine-flower pill.

"Give me this nine-flower grass."

Su Chen whispered to Li Shitong.

Because the two of them were sitting in seats similar to boxes, their whispered conversations would not be heard by people around them. However, after hearing this, Li Shitong immediately looked embarrassed.

There was no way. Su Chen wanted this nine-flower grass, but she also wanted it. For her, herbs that can improve soul power are too important. The strength of soul power is the foundation of an alchemist. Every alchemist is committed to improving soul power throughout his life.

She didn't want Su Chen to be unhappy, but she didn't want to give up this herb.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to give it up in vain. I can sell you a soul refining technique that can speed up the speed of improving soul power."

Su Chen smiled faintly and whispered again.

"What?" Li Shitong's face suddenly changed color and she couldn't help but screamed out of control.

As we all know, if an alchemist wants to improve his soul power, he can only rely on rest and meditation to let his soul power improve naturally. This is a very long process, so the herbs and pills that can improve soul power are extremely precious.

As for the soul refining technique that can improve soul power, she has only heard of it, but has never seen it with her own eyes.

And now Su Chen actually said that he would sell her a soul refining technique that can improve soul power. How could she not be surprised to lose her composure?

"How dare you, what did you do to Shitong?" Shen Chuan frowned and stood up immediately, his eyes full of gloom. He didn't know what Su Chen said to Li Shitong. He only heard Li Shitong scream, and Shen Chuan naturally thought that Li Shitong was taken advantage of by Su Chen.

He had a good impression of Li Shitong, and he was very unhappy that Li Shitong was close to Su Chen. Now Su Chen dared to take advantage of Li Shitong. He would be unworthy of being a man if he didn't take action.

Su Chen didn't even look at Shen Chuan, and said casually: "Sit aside, it's none of your business."

"What did you say?" Shen Chuan was already extremely unhappy, and now he heard Su Chen say that, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He left his seat and walked towards Su Chen.

"Brother Shen, what are you going to do?" Li Shitong stood up immediately, her face full of unhappiness. Shen Chuan actually wanted to ruin her good thing. That was a secret technique to improve soul power. Looking at the entire Anyang City, there was no alchemist who could have such a secret technique. If it was spread out, I'm afraid all the alchemists in Anyang City would go crazy.

Shen Chuan never thought that Li Shitong would stop him, and his momentum was immediately choked: "Shitong, I'm standing up for you."

"Standing up for me, what?" Li Shitong felt that Shen Chuan was simply sick, "I told you a long time ago, don't meddle in other people's business."

"I meddle in other people's business?" Shen Chuan couldn't believe it. Li Shitong was so close to another man, and she told him not to meddle in other people's business. Isn't this like stabbing a knife in his heart?

"Okay, stop arguing."

Su Chen waved his hand impatiently and said to Li Shitong, "As long as you help me take a picture of this nine-flower grass, the secret technique I mentioned will be yours."

"Are you serious? Do you really have such a secret technique?" Li Shitong's thoughts were immediately pulled back, and she asked hurriedly.

Shen Chuan was left aside and was confused by the conversation between the two, but he said angrily: "Shitong, wait, I will teach this kid a lesson first, and then I will talk to you slowly later."

"You dare!" Li Shitong's eyebrows were raised, "If you dare to touch him, I will never let you go!"

Seeing that she was about to have the opportunity to obtain the soul refining secret technique, if Shen Chuan messed it up, she would definitely tear Shen Chuan to pieces alive.

"If what you said is true, I can help you bid for the Nine Flowers Grass." Li Shitong said to Su Chen.

Su Chen shrugged lightly: "Is what I said true or not, don't you have a judgement yourself?"

Li Shitong pondered, thinking of Su Chen's unfathomable alchemy background, and for a moment, she had 70% faith in Su Chen's words.

"Okay, then it's a deal."

Li Shitong said, and immediately started bidding for the Nine Flowers Grass.

As a second-grade alchemist, Li Shitong's financial resources can be said to be very terrifying, and her financial resources are even stronger than those of ordinary second-grade alchemists.

Soon, Li Shitong pushed the price of this Nine Flower Grass to a high price of 100,000 taels of silver.

Generally speaking, only the financial competition between alchemists can reach such a terrifying level.

Su Chen also nodded secretly. Li Shitong could easily call out the price of 100,000 taels, which was enough to show that her success rate in alchemy was not low.

You know, although it is said that alchemy is a highly profitable industry, whether an alchemist can make a lot of money depends on the success rate of the alchemist's alchemy.

Because the materials of the elixir have costs, if an alchemist always fails in alchemy, then the material loss of each failed alchemy must be shared with the income of a successful alchemy, which means that he can't make much money. On the contrary, if an alchemist can basically succeed in alchemy every time, then he will definitely make a lot of money.

However, the success rate of alchemy is affected by many factors. Many alchemists have devoted their lives to improving the success rate of alchemy, but have not seen any obvious results.

Li Shitong is young, but her success rate of alchemy is not low, which is enough to show that she has either worked hard in the way of alchemy or has extraordinary talents.

While Su Chen was thinking, Li Shitong had already bid for the Nine Flowers Grass and spent 138,000 taels of silver.

This made Su Chen sigh again. The people in Anyang City are really rich. If he hadn't asked Li Shitong to help bid today, with the wealth he had accumulated, one Nine Flowers Grass would have consumed all.

Xingchen Pavilion acted very quickly. As soon as Li Shitong finished bidding, the manager of Xingchen Pavilion immediately brought the tray with Nine Flowers Grass over.

"When you pass on my secret technique, I will give you the Nine Flowers Grass." Li Shitong stretched out her hand and took the Nine Flowers Grass into her arms, saying to Su Chen.

Su Chen's expression twitched slightly, and he said, "Why, are you afraid that I will default on my debt?"

"You should be on guard against others." Li Shitong stuck out her tongue. She was really afraid that Su Chen would steal the Nine Flower Grass. This was all her hard-earned money.

"Well, let's find a place right now, and I will pass on the secret technique to you." Su Chen certainly didn't want to wait. He couldn't wait to refine the Three Rivers Pill as soon as possible, so that his cultivation speed could be improved sooner.

"Okay." Li Shitong naturally wanted it.
