Shennong Hall, the person in charge, along with other high-level mbers, was hiding in the surveillance room, watching what had happened in the resting area. Across the entire Stigma Continent, there were only so many saints, and suddenly assembling such a large group was definitely no simple matter.
However, as they watched the surveillance, one by one they were dumbfounded. What is happening? Why were those saints treating this young man with such a respectful attitude? What they heard was even more outrageous than what they saw; those saints were addressing themselves as fools, idiots, scumbags in front of the youth!
"Manager, who is that person?" The high-level mbers didn't know Zhang nglong at all, but the key was that those saints were standing at the pinnacle of the Stigma Continent, and no matter how extraordinary this youth's background was, he shouldn't make them behave like groveling dogs. Do saints need to grovel?
"You must have heard by now, today in our Shennong Hall, a Saint Grade Elixir has erged."
"We did hear about it, but it's said that after a group of alchemists arrived in the room, it was already vacant."
"What do you an vacant? Look at this!" The person in charge pulled up the surveillance from that ti again. Although the alchemy room was registered under Zuo Liu's na, only Zhang nglong went in from beginning to end, and only he ca out.
"Is it possible that he crafted that Saint Grade Elixir?" soone speculated.
"It must be, otherwise there's no way to explain the saints' strange actions. An alchemist who can craft Saint Grade Elixirs is soone even saints need to appease."
"But he only used half a day! Have you ever heard of crafting a Saint Grade Elixir in just half a day?"
"It's a pity we couldn't see inside the alchemy room."
"Imdiately distribute the master's data through confidential channels to all Shennong Hall managers throughout the Stigma Continent. If there's ever an opportunity to et this master, don't show the slightest disrespect."
...
"Master, we are here to apologize today," The saints were all very sincere, profoundly recognizing their mistakes.
"Master, we shouldn't have underestimated you because of your youth. Truly, our attitude today has caused you grievance, and it's already our honor that you are willing to humble yourself by crafting elixirs for us!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang nglong raised his eyelids, "I am not entirely inflexible; as they say, ignorance is no fault. After all, I'm just a liar with no credentials nor the life of an alchemist."
The saints broke into a sweat; these were the exact words they said to Zhang nglong earlier, now being retorted back at them, making them feel utterly embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Everyone has monts of misjudgnt, but you know, alchemy is an extrely difficult task, one that requires imnse focus on every detail. If my mood is disrupted, it's easy to lose focus, and if I miss any details or make a control error, that would be unfortunate. My personal reputation being tarnished is minor, but the valuable materials you painstakingly collected being ruined is a big deal."
"Master, we understand!" Those saints, having lived countless years, were all cunning enough to notice the undertones in Zhang nglong's words. He was indeed asking them for compensation.
As long as they offered generously, wouldn't the mood improve?
"Master, we apologize for any offense caused today. Here's my token of sincerity, a check for one trillion Sacred Gold in cash, along with a piece of top-level Spiritual Artifact. When worn, it can ignore attacks from martial artists below the Void Transformation Realm, dissolve 50% of attacks from Void Transformation Realm martial artists, and can withstand a full attack from a Wheel Mystery Realm peak martial artist!"
It was a delicate soft armor, wearing it felt almost weightless and left no traces, definitely a rare treasure.
"Master, here's also one trillion Sacred Gold. I know you often need large amounts of Exotic Flowers and Herbs for crafting elixirs, and I have 10 king-level Spiritual dicines and hundreds of top-level Spiritual dicines, hoping they are of help to you."
"Master, I own a Martial Dao Pavilion on the Stigma Continent, with branches in almost all empires. Here's the dispatch order from my pavilion; with this, you can freely command my pavilion's resources."
...
Eleven saints presented their tokens of sincerity one after another. At this stage in life, you can't present anything too shabby. Zhang nglong's wallet was imdiately stuffed full.
While drinking milk tea, Zhang nglong controlled his expression to prevent himself from laughing.
"Master, is your mood slightly better now?"
"Master, if you need ti to process your emotions, we can wait here in Cicada Singing City until you're available to see us."
Ordinary people couldn't even get a saint's contact information, but they were all rushing to give Zhang nglong theirs. Truly, the occupation of an alchemist is so favored; it's even more desirable than being a civil servant.
"Forget it," Zhang nglong stretched lazily, "I'm easy to talk to and won't make it difficult for you. There's no ti like the present; let's do it today. Are the materials ready?"
Hearing Zhang nglong's words, the saints were overjoyed, "Master, we understand the rules clearly—materials are self-prepared, and failures are not your responsibility. We've all prepared two to three sets of dicinal materials; you can proceed freely and boldly."
"Okay," Zhang nglong took the pill recipes and materials. Just these recipes alone were a massive fortune. For ordinary alchemists, it's impossible to access such high-level recipes without spending money to purchase them, but top alchemists have people lining up to offer pill recipes to them.
Zhang nglong glanced at them; the difficulty was roughly the sa as the one Zuo Liu requested.
"Master, we have booked the alchemy room here for two years. We'll return first, and if there's any progress, just tily contact us."
"Two years, why so long?" Zhang nglong was speechless; if he spent too many days crafting, his injuries would heal completely, so why bother crafting the elixir?
"Go ahead and take a stroll; co back in half a day."
"Again, half a day?" The group looked at each other in astonishnt.
It was incredible enough for Zhang nglong to craft one elixir in half a day; now, crafting eleven in total would take at least a week, even without sleep.
"Is this difficult?" Zhang nglong asked rhetorically.
"Is this simple then?" The saints were bewildered; this was alchemy, not cooking. To prepare a al for a dozen people takes half a day! Plus, these aren't ordinary elixirs, they are Saint Grade elixirs, yet to Zhang nglong it was like play?
If Zuo Liu hadn't revealed Zhang nglong's capabilities, they might have thought he was a fraud.
"These Breakthrough Pills are child's play. There's no need to focus entirely on crafting one at a ti; it doesn't even take as much ti as my traditional craftsmanship," Zhang nglong explained. "I can craft all eleven together; just go have a al and co collect them tonight!"
