Chapter 557 Citrine Cloud Talon Pill Recipe

'Even I, who uses Fire Laws along with my Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivation to concoct Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills only managed to produce Crude-Tier and Normal-Tier Pills in my lifetime...'

The examiner couldn't help but inwardly sigh before he closed his eyes.

Greed, intentions to kill to plunder the examinee flashed across his mind before he shook all those thoughts out of his head. He opened his eyes and took out a small container from his spatial ring which he then gave it to the examinee.

Davis accepted the container and opened it to see a token plate that had these words inscribed, [Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist] and on the rear, it had these words inscribed.

[Thousand Pill Palace - Ethren Empire Branch]

The words Ethren Empire Branch were inscribed in a small font, which basically undermines the authority of the Ethren Empire but the Royal Ethren Family didn't dare to say otherwise.

Even if someone like the Alstreim Family backed them, they wouldn't dare to raise their voice either.

Compared to the Thousand Pill Palace, Ethren Empire was like a countryside's small village.

The token plate didn't have his name engraved on it because he was not part of the Thousand Pill Palace's Branch. Since he did not take the Bone Age Test and did not describe his origin, he became ineligible to join the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.

The alchemist knew this as well, so he didn't purposefully state anything as there were many eccentrics whose thoughts didn't intersect with the common way of thinking.

After this, Davis received a purple-colored alchemist robe which had all six stars brightly reflecting the ambient light. Needless to say, the quality of the alchemist robe is top-notch, capable of defending against most attacks of Peak-Level Sixth Stage Cultivators.

"Alchemist Davis, are you interested in selling these three pills to me?"

'Oh, not us but me?' Davis instantly understood the examiner's intent.

The reason why he decided to concoct this pill was that he saw many Citrine Cloud Beasts mounts in the second level of the city, hence, the first time he decided to take this exam, he had concocted these pills to sell them on the spot.

However, he didn't expect that it would be the individual who would be purchasing it and not the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.

Davis smiled and sold the three pills to the examiner. Each pill sold for 830 Mid-Level Spirit Stones, hence, this transaction netted him a profit of 2,100 Mid-Level Spirit Stones.

Besides, he still hadn't used the extra set of ingredients that he could use to additionally make a batch of Citrine Cloud Talon Pills.

Davis then looked at the examiner who looked hesitant for some reason. However, he didn't urge the other party to speak and waited with a blank expression on his face because he knew exactly what the examiner was going to ask.

'Come on, can't you see that I'm hesitating? As a junior alchemist, show some consideration! Ughh!' The examiner inwardly cursed Davis before he finally let out an exasperated sigh.

"Alchemist Davis, are you perhaps interested in selling the Pill Recipe for the Citrine Cloud Talon Pill?"

Davis who had his face blank finally had his lips curve into a smirk.

The examiner felt as if he had just been mocked inwardly but he didn't show the embarra.s.sment on his face.

"Can you afford it?" Davis asked.

The examiner's eyes lit up before he said, "I can..."

"Since Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill Recipes are rare, it is common sense that one should exchange it for High-Level Spirit Stones, isn't that right, alchemist...?"

"Andred... My name is just Andred. You can call me Alchemist Andred. Yes, Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill Recipes are generally exchanged for High-Level Spirit Stones but in this case, I think we can use Mid-Level Spirit Stones to exchange."

Davis didn't say anything. He just stood up and left.

Alchemist Andred quickly became speechless, 'Not even willing to barter!?'

"Two times the original price if paid in Mid-Level Spirit Stones!"

Davis didn't stop. He just kept heading towards the exit of the examination hall.

"Four times!" Alchemist Andred shouted while trembling.

He saw that Alchemist Davis was almost near to the exit of the room.

"Alright! High-Level Spirit Stones it is!" He instantly gave up and sighed.

However, he was repeatedly cursing Alchemist Davis in his mind!

Davis stopped in his tracks and looked at Alchemist Andred in a mocking light, "Two times the High-Level Spirit Stones."

"What!?" Alchemist Andred's face changed.

He narrowed his eyes and a threatening glint emerged in his eyes.

"Alchemist Davis, it is not beneficial for you to be this greedy..."

"Take it or leave it..."

Alchemist Andred took a step back in disbelief. He couldn't understand why the examinee who was at a lower level than him in Alchemy didn't even cozy up to him. The examinee even refused to give him face!

All this told him that perhaps the examinee didn't need to dear about any repercussions at all. This, or just plain carelessness.

"What is your background?" He couldn't help but ask in a solemn tone.

"I'm pretty sure I filled my current residence in the application form, but it looks like you didn't take a look at it. Whatever...." Davis chuckled before he continued, "Alchemist Andred, we both know that you're trying to profit off this Pill Recipe. After you obtain the Citrine Cloud Talon Pill Recipe, it is easier for you to hire alchemists using your status, hence occupying the market for this pill."

"In contrast, I will be unable to procure buyers unless I sell these pills for a low price."

Davis's lips curved, "We both know who is going to profit at the end of the year if this deal succeeded."

Alchemist Andred was taken aback before he smiled as if his true intent had been found out.

"Why don't you become my subordinate?" He couldn't help but feel admiration for the other party.

Indeed, at first, he was trying to scam him and make a profit but it looked like Alchemist Davis was rather well versed both in trading and Pill Concoction.

'If I can recruit such a person...' He favorably thought.

"Why don't you ask the Conferred Queen if she is willing to let me go?" Davis raised his brows as he scoffed.

"Conferred Queen?" Alchemist Andred became momentarily confused before his eyes widened!

He remembered that warrior-like woman who slew the half-human, half-beast abomination with just a single swing of her sword!

"You're Conferred Queen Isabella's subordinate?"

Davis didn't nod his head but just smiled.

His smile sent chills on Alchemist Andred's spine, making him take a step back inadvertently, 'No wonder... No wonder he knew about a pill that even the headquarters of the Thousand Pill Palace didn't possess...'

'He... No! As the rumors stated, the Conferred Queen is really from a High-Level Emperor Grade Power... And he is merely a subordinate who supports the Conferred Queen...'

Alchemist Andred inwardly sweated as he arrived at his own answer.

"Alright, I agree to the transaction." He instantly smiled in a favorable light.

If it could be said before that he was still not satisfied with the transaction, then now it could be said that he was entirely satisfied with the transaction.

Davis inwardly smiled, not minding about Alchemist Andred's misunderstanding. Making himself look like he was under the Conferred Queen would add an extra layer of protection. Hence, he wasn't aversed to it.

As far as the outsiders thought, the people living in the Conferred Queen's residence were probably all her subordinates or servants.

Since Princess Isabella was going to establish herself, then he wasn't aversed to hide behind her back. As a certain teacher once said before with both conviction and shamelessness...

[So what if I'm hiding behind a woman? This is a part of my capabilities. If you're capable, find one to hide behind as well!]

Davis liked this quote as it fit his thinking perfectly!
