Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: Sitting at the Bottom of a Well and Looking at the Sky

"Grade One Return-Life Pill?"

Soon, someone with a face full of derision spoke, "What a move by the ’Gagnon Family’, playing such a wishful game! A mere ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ to exchange for a spiritual fruit consumed by a Transforming Void Realm warrior?"

Although the Grade One Return-Life Pill was precious, if its value was truly assessed, it was still far from comparable to the spiritual fruit consumed by ’Transforming Void Realm warriors’.

This was common knowledge.

"The Gagnon Family actually announced such a ’reward’... Do they really think everyone else is a fool?"

"It’s probably only a fool who would trade a spiritual fruit consumed by Transforming Void Realm warriors for a mere Grade One Return-Life Pill!"

"A spiritual fruit for Transforming Void Realm warriors, even if taken to the ’black market’ of Northumberland City, could be exchanged for at least three Grade One Return-Life Pills!"

...

The tavern was filled with an uproar, as everyone felt that the ’Northumberland Gagnon Family’ issuing such a reward was simply cheating people.

"Big guy, a mere ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ is your idea of an amazing reward?"

Someone looked at the burly man and said with ridicule.

"The Grade One Return-Life Pill, precious indeed, is still not considered ’amazing’."

Another spoke to the burly man.

For a moment, the burly man became the target of everyone’s arrows.

"Hmph!"

Faced with the cold jeers and mocking comments of the people in the tavern, the burly man snorted with disdain, "What do you understand? If it was just an ordinary ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’, would I call it an amazing reward?"

The burly man’s voice overwhelmed the jeers and mocking comments in the tavern, causing the crowd to involuntarily pause.

"What do you mean by that?"

"That’s right! What do you mean by just an ordinary ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’... Could it be that you are implying the ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ offered by the Northumberland Gagnon Family is not ordinary?"

"Hmph! Including the Northumberland Gagnon Family, aren’t all the Grade One Return-Life Pills circulating in the entire South Outlands made by the hand of Chairman Keller of the South Outlands Alchemists Association?"

...

Many people voiced their opinions, refuting the burly man.

"Grade One Return-Life Pills circulating in the South Outlands all come from the Chairman of the South Outlands Alchemists Association?"

The burly man laughed, a brilliant smile, "I say... aren’t you all a bit behind the times? Haven’t you heard that the Gagnon Family recently added a ’Grade One Alchemist Elder’?"

"I remember now! The ’First Honorary Minister Elder’ of the Gagnon Family, widely discussed just a while ago, is indeed a ’Grade One Alchemist’."

"With their own ’Grade One Alchemist’ now, the Gagnon Family no longer needs to seek Chairman Keller to craft Grade One Pill Medicine."

...

Soon, some people caught on, only then remembering that the Gagnon Family already had their own ’Grade One Alchemist’.

"The Gagnon Family has a Grade One Alchemist now?"

Immediately, several people who had only recently ventured out showed shock, hearing this news for the first time.

"Hmph! So what if the Gagnon Family has their own ’Grade One Alchemist’? Can the ’Grade One Return-Life Pills’ he crafts really be better than those crafted by Chairman Keller of the South Outlands Alchemists Association?"

"Chairman Keller’s crafted Grade One Pill Medicine often shows a purity ’above seventy percent’... It is no easy task to craft a Pill Medicine better than his."

"That’s right! Even if the Gagnon Family has their own Grade One Alchemist, they couldn’t possibly surpass Chairman Keller, let alone craft Pill Medicine better than what Chairman Keller crafts."

...

Again, many spoke, their words brimming with high regard for Chairman Keller of the South Outlands Alchemists Association.

"Frog in a well!"

The burly man looked coldly at the group in front of him that looked down on the Gagnon Family’s ’Grade One Alchemist Elder’, slowly opening his mouth to speak, articulating each word.

His voice resonated, easily drowning out the discussions of those present.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze again shifted onto him.

Many looked as if they could breathe fire from their eyes.

"Frog in a well? I’d like to hear from you, how exactly are we ’frogs in a well’?"

A middle-aged man, enraged, stood up from his seat, glaring at the burly man and spoke sternly, "Today, if you can’t justify your claim, I will make your blood spill three feet!"

No sooner had the words fallen than the oppressive aura of the middle-aged man swept out, bringing immense pressure to those around him.

"Void... A peak warrior of the Void Realm!"

Soon someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

At that moment, those present looked at the middle-aged man with fear, seeing him as a flood beast, as if worried he would consume them.

However, their gaze quickly shifted from the middle-aged man, who possessed ’peak Void Realm’ strength, back onto the burly man.

"This guy, he’s probably in for it now."

"If he can’t justify himself today, this peak Void Realm warrior surely won’t let him go!"

"How dare he say we’re ’frogs in a well’, offending everyone right from the start, he’s simply courting death!"

"I’m curious to see just what he can come up with."

...

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all convinced that the burly man was going to be unlucky.

After sensing the clearly powerful aura emanating from the middle-aged man, revealing him as a pinnacle expert of the Void Realm, a look of apprehension couldn’t help but appear in the burly man’s eyes.

But soon, the apprehension vanished from his eyes, replaced by a look of fearless confidence.

"You go on and on saying that ’Elder Barnes’ of the Gagnon Family is inferior to ’Chairman Keller’... but tell me, have you ever witnessed Elder Barnes himself crafting Pill Medicines, or have you gotten your hands on a ’Grade One Pill Medicine’ crafted by him to compare with those made by Chairman Keller?"

The burly man looked around at the group of people as he asked.

The crowd was taken aback, and nobody voiced an answer.

While many present were hearing for the first time about an ’Elder Barnes’ from the Gagnon Family,

it was easy for them now to connect ’Elder Barnes’ to the Gagnon Family’s ’Grade One Alchemist Elder’ in their minds.

Thus, no one found it odd.

However, when it came to the question posed by the burly man, they collectively maintained a tacit silence.

Not a single one of them had met the Gagnon Family’s ’Grade One Alchemist Elder,’ let alone witnessed him crafting Pill Medicines.

Nor had they come into contact with the ’Grade One Pill Medicine’ he crafted, so they had nothing to use as a basis for comparison.

"What’s the matter? Cat got your tongues?"

The burly man let out a cold laugh, then said with biting sarcasm, "You know nothing, yet you blabber about how ’Elder Barnes’ is this or that. Ridiculous!"

The words of the burly man caused the crowd’s faces to turn various shades of green and white.

"Hmph! The way you speak, the Pill Medicine skills of that ’Grade One Alchemist Elder’ from the Gagnon Family must be quite high... I’d like to hear just how miraculous the ’Grade One Return-Life Pills’ he’s crafted are, and why you’re so highly reverent of them."

"That’s right! There’s a saying, ’All talk and no action is a charade.’ If you’re so capable, tell us about the ’purity’ of the Grade One Return-Life Pills crafted by that Gagnon Family elder!"

"The Gagnon Family dares to brazenly offer it in exchange for a ’Transforming Void Realm’ martial artist’s spiritual fruit...could it be that the purity of the Grade One Return-Life Pills they’ve crafted is above ’seventy-five percent’?"

...

The crowd quickly recovered their spirits, unwilling to be outdone, and started questioning the burly man.

In their view,

even a single pill, whose value matched the spiritual fruit consumed by Transforming Void Realm martial artists—a ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’—should have a purity of at least ’seventy-five percent.’

Because only the Return-Life Pills with a purity above ’seventy-five percent’ could surpass the effectiveness of those with ’seventy percent’ purity or less, jumping to a higher level of potency.

Only such Return-Life Pills could be of equivalent value to a spiritual fruit consumed by a Transforming Void Realm martial artist.

Moreover, deep down they didn’t believe that the Grade One Alchemist Elder of the Gagnon Family could craft Return-Life Pills with a purity above ’seventy-five percent.’

Across the Cloud Skies Continent, not to mention in the ’Outer Land’ where they were located, even in the ’Inner Land,’ Grade One alchemists capable of crafting Grade One Pill Medicines with a purity above ’seventy-five percent’ were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"A purity above ’seventy-five percent’?"

Upon hearing the crowd’s words, the burly man first paused, then burst into a loud, uncontrollable laughter, his emotion seemingly completely unhinged, with his laughter lingering for a long time.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"Ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha ha..."

His roaring laughter filled the inn, darkening the faces of everyone inside even more.

"Have you laughed enough?"

Finally, the stern-voiced middle-aged man with the strength of the Void Realm’s pinnacle spoke, his voice booming like thunder, overpowering the burly man’s laughter.

Only then did the burly man’s laughter come to a halt.

"What are you laughing at?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed coldly as he asked solemnly.

"I’m laughing at their narrow-mindedness," the burly man said, glancing at the middle-aged man with a hint of apprehension, then turned impolitely to the others.

"Then I’d like to hear how they’re being narrow-minded?"

While the crowd was visibly angry, the middle-aged man fixed his gaze on the burly man and asked deliberately, word by word.

"Do you think that when the Gagnon Family offers a ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ for a spiritual fruit consumed by the Transforming Void Realm, it is the person making the exchange with the spiritual fruit at a disadvantage?"

"Do you think that only a Return-Life Pill with a purity of ’seventy-five percent’ or above can match the value of a spiritual fruit consumed by a Transforming Void Realm martial artist...is that what you believe?"

The burly man surveyed the surroundings, posing two consecutive questions to the people inside the inn.

Though the crowd didn’t speak, their looks undeniably confirmed this belief.

"Good."

Seeing that no one denied it, the burly man’s eyes grew sharp, and he shared the information he had learned without holding back, "Then let me tell you... the ’Grade One Return-Life Pills’ that the Gagnon Family has offered for the spiritual fruit of Transforming Void Realm martial artists...according to the news passed from the Gagnon Family, have a purity of ’ninety percent’ or more!"

Ninety percent!

Upon his utterance, the already quiet inn fell into a dead silence.

Even the steely middle-aged man who had been glaring at the burly man stood rooted to the spot, as if he had turned to stone, and could not return to his senses for a long time.
