It might be best to give up early, she felt her father’s words were very sensible.
...
In Bai Family’s guest reception room, the Divine Doctor, whose temples were graying, only after scrutinizing the Jade Scroll in his hands, did he shakily hand it back, his shock nearly beyond belief as he trembled, "It’s actually the Yin Emperor’s Fortune? How is that possible? The Bai Family has really obtained the Yin Emperor’s Fortune?"
"Do you know how valuable this thing is?"
"It’s said that even in the Immortal Realm, it is a coveted item, and you’ve truly obtained it?"
"Hehe."
The Bai Family Patriarch chuckled, "After spending every bit of our family wealth, we finally acquired it. Now, Divine Doctor, since there are no other issues, shall we start? Please let us know what materials you need for alchemy, and our Bai Family will prepare them for you."
"...Hoo."
The Divine Doctor took a deep breath and swayed the feather duster in his hand, "Don’t rush, this pill naturally has to be made, but there’s sothing I need to clarify upfront, the Yin Emperor’s Fortune is not an ordinary object, but an extrely precious Spiritual Object. Refining such a Spiritual Object will require a trendous amount of my vital energy."
"This alchemy fee..."
"Obviously cannot be less," the Bai Family Patriarch said earnestly, "Didn’t we agree on 500,000 Spirit Stones at the beginning? Double that, the Bai Family is willing to pay 1,000,000 Spirit Stones for your alchemy services."
As these words fell.
The disciples standing behind the Divine Doctor all held their breath; evidently, this figure was sowhat beyond their imagination. Before this, they had never thought that helping people with alchemy could earn one million Spirit Stones. With so many Spirit Stones, how long would that take?
Surely one wouldn’t pass away with Spirit Stones still unspent?
The master is indeed the master, easily earning 1,000,000 Spirit Stones.
"Not enough."
The Divine Doctor gently shook his head, "Acquiring this strand of the Yin Emperor’s Fortune must have cost you a fair amount, didn’t it? There are rumors that your Bai Family is actually as rich as a nation, and now it seems not entirely unreasonable, but what I need to tell you is—"
"You may have been able to acquire this strand of the Yin Emperor’s Fortune with a high price paid in Spirit Stones."
"But."
"In this series of continents, in the Fourth Grade Continent and below, I am the only one who can concoct this pill, which ans unless you possess the power to, invite soone over from the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm or other series of continents."
"You have no other choice but to co to ."
"My worth shouldn’t be less than that of this strand of the Yin Emperor’s Fortune."
"How about this... I’ll charge you 20 million Spirit Stones, okay?"
"20 million?"
The Bai Family Patriarch couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, saying in disbelief, "Divine Doctor, how could the Bai Family possibly co up with so many Spirit Stones? This price is preposterous!"
This figure.
The Bai Family could actually co up with it, but he dared not. Should he dare to do so, soon, there would be many who would co to catch the autumn breeze at the Bai Family’s expense, till the Bai Family was picked clean, not even the dregs remaining.
"If you can’t afford it, then forget it."
The Divine Doctor stood up indifferently and began to walk outwards, "It seems the Bai Family Master is neither as generous as the rumors suggest, nor does he love his daughter as much as they say. All just rumors, after all."
"If fate decrees, we’ll et again. Rember to send an invite when the funeral banquet is held."
Just as the Bai Family Patriarch struggled intensely within his own mind, Chen Qiu, sitting by his side, pressed down on the Bai Family Patriarch’s shoulder and called out to the Divine Doctor who was getting up to leave. He said softly, "Healing is ant to save lives. Isn’t it a bit insulting to the profession to demand astronomical prices for the ability to save others?"
"Heh."
The Divine Doctor, who had no real intention of leaving, imdiately halted and turned to look at Chen Qiu, smiling as he said, "My young friend, I do not know you, but in the higher-grade Immortal Realms, there is a term called ’market economy.’
"Of course, you might not understand the aning of these four words, so let explain briefly: the price of sothing is determined by the market, not subject to artificial interference."
"Out of hundreds of continents, I am the only one capable of refining a strand of the Yin Emperor’s Fortune. If the Bai Family Master wants to save his daughter, he has no choice but to seek out; no one else will suffice."
"So, how can it be called demanding an exorbitant price if I raise my rates a bit at this ti? The market decides that. Do you understand?"
"Scarcity will inevitably lead to a price increase."
"And there’s another crucial point: aside from , no one dares to have any contact with him, the Bai Family Master, for now, right?"
"During the recent funeral feast held by the top force on the Fourth Grade Continent, the ’Ling Pavilion,’ the Bai Family Master made quite a scene, revealing nurous scandals, including so concerning the Ling Pavilion Master’s concubine and his son’s indiscretions. Although such matters are quite normal in large families, this is the first ti they have been exposed so publicly."
"Ling Pavilion has been busy cleaning up this ss lately."
"Although the Ling Pavilion Master seed unconcerned at the banquet, saying stuff like ’a father’s hook is the son’s hook,’ didn’t he have his concubine executed as soon as the banquet ended?"
"Moreover, ’Ling Pavilion’ has already listed you as the pri suspect. They just haven’t been able to take action recently due to dealing with internal matters, but once they’ve settled their affairs, they’ll be looking for you imdiately."
"This leads to another important point..."
The Divine Doctor spoke faintly, "The original Young Pavilion Master of Ling Pavilion who held the ’Heavenly King Title’ could freely travel through the lower-grade continents, but now that Young Pavilion Master is dead, and Ling Pavilion no longer has the ability to traverse the lower-grade continents."
"To my knowledge, there aren’t many on the Qi Tian Continent, the Fourth Grade Continent, who have this privilege, but I happen to have it."
"So, you tell ..."
"What should I do if Ling Pavilion sohow finds ?"
"Therefore, this money is not just to save your daughter’s life, but also to save the Bai Family, and even your own life."
He explained as earnestly as possible, privately thinking that he had initially nad a high price simply because the Bai Family had managed to procure the Yin Emperor’s Fortune, indicating to him that they had more assets than he had imagined.
He had expected the Bai Family Patriarch to fly into a rage.
But to his surprise, the man instead began to struggle and ponder.
Oh ho.
This ant the Bai Family Patriarch might truly have 20 million Spirit Stones in his pocket, which was a huge problem; how could he simply storm off in anger? If necessary, you could cut the price.
He would still accept 2 million Spirit Stones.
"Did you just say that in the entire Fourth Grade Continent and the continents of lower grades, you are the only one who can refine this kind of Pill?"
Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow at the Divine Doctor.
"That’s right," the Divine Doctor said with so pride.
"What about the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm?"
"The Fifth Grade Immortal Realm?" The Divine Doctor snorted coldly, "Naturally, there are those who can in the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm, provided that you, sir, can invite soone from the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm down here. Anyway, I do not have the ans to do so."
