Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Why Not Go for It (3rd Update)

Ling Chen had yet to speak when Li Xue preempted him, saying, "Deacon Gu, this kid claims he is here to exchange tens of thousands of superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills!"

"Tens of thousands of superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills?"

Deacon Gu was initially startled, then spoke coldly, "Boy, what explanation do you have?"

Ling Chen was left speechless.

Do all the people in the Divine Thought Hall believe such one-sided claims so readily?

"Boy, I’m giving you an opportunity, produce spirit stones or treasures equivalent to ten thousand superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills, otherwise, I will certainly teach you a lesson!"

Deacon Gu’s voice was cold.

Ling Chen shook his head, and with a flash of light from his right hand, a pile of jade bottles materialized out of thin air.

Seeing the mountain-like pile of jade bottles, everyone was stunned.

"This can’t be real!"

Li Xue regained her composure and hurriedly picked up a jade bottle to open it.

"Ten medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills!"

She opened dozens of jade bottles, and each one contained ten medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

There were tens of thousands of such jade bottles here, with each bottle containing ten pills, amounting to hundreds of thousands of medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills, enough to exchange for tens of thousands of superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills!

Watching Li Xue’s frantic actions, Ling Chen remained utterly calm.

Only when Li Xue’s face showed a look of despair did he speak up: "Are you certain that I’m making a fool of myself?"

"No way? Can he really exchange for tens of thousands of superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills?"

"Did he rob the Purple Cloud Commerce? Otherwise, how could he have so many medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills?"

"My god, what is this kid’s background? To possess so many medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills?"

...

For a time, the people in the hall burst into a melange of discussions.

"Here are one million medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills, and I want to exchange them for superior ones, am I causing a ruckus?"

Ling Chen looked towards Deacon Gu and said.

Deacon Gu’s mouth twitched, and with a flash, he slapped Li Xue across the face with a "smack," sending her several meters away, before turning to Ling Chen with a respectful tone, "This young master, I apologize, it is our people who were blind! I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive us!"

Whoever could take out one million medium-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills was certainly no ordinary person.

"Hmph!"

Ling Chen waved his right hand and collected all the Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

Then he headed towards the outside of the hall, "I had originally hoped to make a deal with our own people, but it seems some are not so willing! No choice then, I must go to the Purple Cloud Commerce."

He came to the Divine Thought Hall because he regarded it as part of the True Learning Academy and did not want to benefit the Purple Cloud Commerce.

But unexpectedly, the people of the Divine Thought Hall possessed such attitudes, looking down on him because he was an Outer Palace student.

Since that’s the case, why bother trading here!

"Young master, please wait!"

Deacon Gu hurriedly approached to stop him.

"What now? Does the Divine Thought Hall intend to force a trade?"

Ling Chen spoke coldly.

"You misunderstand, young master! We in the Divine Thought Hall approach the trade with the utmost sincerity!"

Deacon Gu quickly said.

Such a big deal, if it were to be made, would surely include a share for him.

With a trade of tens of thousands of superior Spirit Revitalizing Pills, just the commission alone could net him a thousand.

Moreover, with Ling Chen having so many Spirit Revitalizing Pills, his background must be strong, and Deacon Gu would not dare to use force!

"I have not seen a shred of your sincerity."

Ling Chen said.

"Young master, the outside exchange rate is twenty medium-grade for one superior Spirit Revitalizing Pill. For such a large amount, we are willing to offer a rate of seventeen to one. Additionally, as a real sign of sincerity, we’re willing to reduce it further by two, how about an exchange rate of fifteen to one?"

Deacon Gu hurriedly said.

Ling Chen pondered for a moment.

Seeing that Ling Chen did not agree, Deacon Gu said, "Young master, if the price is not satisfactory, no problem, we can continue negotiation. How about we find somewhere to sit down and talk?"

"Alright!"

Ling Chen mused for a bit before nodding.

"Young master, this way please!"

Deacon Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the guidance of Deacon Gu, they quickly arrived in a luxuriously decorated room.

"We have yet to ask for the young master’s name?"

Deacon Gu took the tea served by the maid and personally handed it over.

"Ling Chen."

Ling Chen spoke indifferently.

"So you’re the talented young man who defeated Bai Wentian, one of the top nine students of the outer academy? I’ve heard much about your reputation!"

Deacon Gu’s face was full of surprise.

He had only heard that among the new students this year, there was an exceptionally gifted individual, but he did not expect such a young and affluent talent!

"It’s nothing worth mentioning."

Ling Chen responded calmly.

He had defeated practitioners of the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, so a mere student of the sixth level was not even worthy of mention.

"Given your status, our lowest price is thirteen to one."

Deacon Gu smiled, "Of course, if you have any other requests, we will do our best to accommodate. But this price is final."

"Other requests?"

Ling Chen inquired.

"Yes, for example, crafting some special elixirs. We will try our best to fulfill your needs for elixirs below the third tier!"

Deacon Gu explained.

"Really? I just so happen to have a tier-two elixir that I need crafted!"

Ling Chen smiled.

Seeing Ling Chen’s smile, Deacon Gu was also pleased and immediately said, "Young Master Ling, please tell us, as long as it’s a tier-two elixir, our Divine Thought Hall can craft it."

"That’s great! I will now write down the elixir formula, could you help me exchange these one million mid-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills for high-grade ones?"

Ling Chen directly handed over his storage ring to Deacon Gu.

"No problem, just wait a moment!"

Deacon Gu was overjoyed, accepted the storage ring, and immediately set about preparing the high-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Chen wrote down the formula for the Blood Fusion Primordial Pill.

"Blood Fusion Primordial Pill?"

Deacon Gu glanced at the formula and had never heard of this name before.

"I need the elixirs within a month; is that alright?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Absolutely no problem."

Deacon Gu assured with a pat on his chest.

"Alright."

Ling Chen smiled, "Then I’ll be awaiting the good news."

He hadn’t expected that the Divine Thought Hall offered such services.

Since it didn’t cost anything, why not take advantage of it?

"Young Master Ling, here are your high-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills, please count them."

Deacon Gu respectfully returned the storage ring.

Ling Chen took it over, checked, and finding no issues, bid farewell and left.

Deacon Gu personally escorted Ling Chen to the entrance of the grand hall: "Young Master Ling, just wait at the outer academy. Once the Blood Fusion Primordial Pills are crafted, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded and left.

Returning to his residence, Ling Chen dedicated most of his time to cultivation.

At night he used the Night Moon Saint Body to refine nature’s spiritual energy to boost his Spiritual Power, and during the day, he executed the Sunlight Holy Body to nurture his Divine Soul with the Sunlight Power.

Three days later, someone from the Divine Thought Hall arrived.

"Is the Divine Thought Hall’s efficiency so high?"

Ling Chen was a bit surprised.

To have successfully crafted a tier-two elixir in just three days was an incredibly efficient feat.

"Young Master Ling, Deacon Gu requests your presence!"

The messenger reported.

Hearing this, Ling Chen learnt that the visitor was not here to deliver an elixir.

"What does he want with me?"

Ling Chen was somewhat puzzled.

"The lord did not say, you will know once you go."

The person replied respectfully.
