Chapter 440 - 439: Monopoly on Elixirs

Chapter 440: Chapter 439: Monopoly on Elixirs

With disheveled hair and a dirty face, Peter Brown walked out of the alchemy area.

After refining for so long, it was impossible not to feel tired. Peter not only refined Foundation-Establishment Pills but also spent most of his time producing a large number of elixirs he needed.

On this occasion, Peter truly felt that he had made a fortune. Not only did he earn a lot from the Foundation-Establishment Pills, but he also refined many of his own elixirs. Looking at his elixirs, Peter understood that if he had relied on True Fire for refining, he could at most produce one-third of what Earthfire refining could. With so many elixirs, Peter knew that at least his family members could get the support of the elixirs, helping them cultivate without any problem to the Qi Refining Fifth Level.

As Peter walked out, everyone could see at a glance his extremely fatigued appearance.

"Peter!"

Seeing Peter come out, Tobia Armstrong and the others who had been waiting outside immediately shifted their gazes to him.

Seeing their expressions, Peter mischievously assured them, "I did my best!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the three sect leaders, who were originally full of confidence, changed instantly.

Eversince Peter started refining, they had never left this place and were sitting cross-legged, cultivating and waiting for Peter to successfully refine the Foundation-Establishment Pills for them.

When they heard Peter’s words, disappointment was written on everyone’s faces, and their moods immediately worsened.

Seeing their change of expression, Peter inwardly rejoiced. Just as he was about to announce his success, he heard a haughty voice say, "Haven’t you heard? Not everyone can refine Foundation-Establishment Pills. Although he’s been quite popular online lately, we’ve said it before: on Earth, only our Elixir Master Alliance can refine top-level elixirs!"

At these words, Peter held his tongue and looked up, only to discover several middle-aged and elderly people standing behind the sect leaders.

At this time, one of the younger-looking people said, "Three Sect Leaders, I didn’t expect you to entrust the Foundation-Establishment Pill’s Lingcao to such a person to refine. You are breaking the rules. If you want us, the Elixir Master Alliance, to refine elixirs for you in the future, we won’t increase the fees. However, if you want to refine Foundation-Establishment Pills, you will need to provide twice the amount of Lingcao, and we will also have to select and take away some of your treasures."

It was evident from his tone that the speaker held the sect leaders in low esteem.

Upon hearing these people’s statements, Peter looked at Tobia Armstrong in confusion, "Who are these people?"

"Oh, let me introduce them. These are the alchemist certifiers of Earth, and members of the Elixir Master Alliance."

Elixir Master Alliance?

Peter had never heard of such an organization, so he looked at the three Sect Leaders with bewilderment.

The mood of the three Sect Leaders had considerably worsened by this point. Derek sighed, "I didn’t expect us to fail again!"

"Indeed, we hoped Peter could succeed, but we’ve failed again. Why is it so difficult to refine Foundation-Establishment Pills?"

At that moment, the three Sect Leaders were sighing in disappointment. They had been waiting for the Foundation-Establishment Pill for too long, and with yet another failure, they didn’t know when they would finally get one.

Furthermore, the thought of their lifespan extension issue worried them even more.

"Elders, on behalf of the Elixir Master Alliance, may I ask for your decision?" The person from the Elixir Master Alliance asked.

At this point, Peter looked at the alchemist who had spoken earlier, "So, does that mean all of you can successfully refine Foundation-Establishment Pills?"

As soon as he asked this question, the alchemists grew somewhat embarrassed. While they had refined many furnaces, none of them had succeeded. Upon hearing Peter’s question, they couldn’t help but feel a bit humiliated.

Feeling angry, the lead alchemist retorted, "Even if we can’t refine them, we’re still much better than you, a single individual. At least we have a large number of alchemists working together to research, and we’ll eventually refine the Foundation-Establishment Pills!" Although he said this, he truly wanted to reveal that they had secretly refined three of the pills. However, the higher-ups had ordered them not to leak this information.

As for the successful refining of Foundation-Establishment Pills, the higher-ups had instructed them not to disclose it. The pills should be secretly sent back to the Alliance, and people outside the Elixir Master Alliance should never be allowed to succeed in establishing their foundation.

Ethan Thompson said, "Esteemed Alchemists, please show us some understanding. We are also in urgent need of getting Foundation-Establishment Pills."

One an elderly man who was apparently the leader of the alchemists looked at Peter and inquired, "Peter Brown, have you received the alchemist certification from the Elixir Master Alliance?"

"On Earth, every alchemist needs certification from the Elixir Master Alliance?" Peter asked curiously.

"Indeed, without certification, you are an illegal alchemist. Let me tell you, on Earth, any individual who does not join the Elixir Master Alliance is considered to be engaging in illegal alchemy and will face the crackdown of the Alliance!"

Peter laughed and asked, "Who made that rule?"

"Who made that rule? Peter Brown, don’t think you’re so amazing just because you can refine elixirs. Also, we’ve heard that you’re secretly selling elixirs. Without certification, who knows what’s in your elixirs? We formally inform you that the Elixir Master Alliance will not allow you to refine elixirs illegally!"

"Bullshit, how I refine my elixirs is my business, it’s none of your concern, Elixir Master Alliance!"

Peter was truly furious. He never thought that there would be such a domineering organization.

"You dare to badmouth the Elixir Master Alliance!" A young man behind them was angry, glaring at Peter.

The old man at the head was also furious, shouting: "Very well, very well! It has been many years since such a thing has happened. Peter Brown, do you think that offering elixirs as rewards can gain the support of high-level cultivators? Do you believe that it wouldn’t be a big deal for the Elixir Master Alliance to offer a bounty on your head?"

"Oh, really? So you want to kill me? I don’t think you can get rid of me!"

As for these pretentious people, Peter did not give them a good face either.

Originally, upon hearing that these people were alchemists, Peter wanted to make good relations with them and exchange ideas on alchemy. But now that he understood their intentions, Peter was not happy. Learning alchemy was for personal development, and joining the Elixir Master Alliance would limit individual growth, which Peter did not want.

No choice, might as well become enemies!

Tobia Armstrong hastily said to Peter: "Brother Peter, it’s not wise to offend the Elixir Master Alliance. Everyone needs them to refine elixirs, and they’ve never had a bounty that was unsuccessful."

Peter said solemnly: "I don’t believe it!"

The old man was furious, shouting: "Peter Brown, you show no respect for the Elixir Master Alliance! Even if you have the ability to refine elixirs, you still have to face the hunting of the Elixir Master Alliance!"

Another young man also shouted: "You’ll regret it! The Elixir Master Alliance has never failed. Since you dare to disobey the Elixir Master Alliance, fine. From now on, we will offer a bounty for your assassination, and even target your family members, completely eradicating your family!"

"Is talking nonsense all you can do? Just do what you want to do. I’d like to see just how much you can accomplish." The situation had developed to this point, and Peter was angry.

One man next to the old man spoke to Peter in a deep voice: "For the sake of the sect masters here, we’re planning to invite you to join the Elixir Master Alliance. You only need a license to sell elixirs. We didn’t expect you to have such an attitude. Don’t blame the Elixir Master Alliance then!"

"So you came to recruit people! Sorry, but I am not familiar with the Elixir Master Alliance, nor do I have any intention of joining it."

"Very well, Mr. Armstrong, everyone has heard. Now that someone dares to defy the Elixir Master Alliance, this is no longer something anyone can resolve!"

The people on both sides were clearly on the verge of conflict.

Derek spoke to Peter: "Brother Peter, it would be better for you to apologize and admit your mistake. The Elixir Master Alliance is indeed a powerful organization."

Peter said: "How powerful?"

The old man declared with pride: "Let me tell you. The Elixir Master Alliance is a major organization on Earth, monopolizing the global elixir medicine market. Master Carter is the leader of the Elixir Master Alliance. As long as the Elixir Master Alliance wants to kill someone, they’ll offer elixirs as rewards, and high-level cultivators from all over the world will join the hunt. Peter Brown, you dare to ignore the Elixir Master Alliance, just wait! We will begin a crackdown operation against you soon, and you’ll regret what you said!"

Tobia Armstrong’s face changed dramatically and said: "Please spare Brother Peter this time. He doesn’t really know much about the Elixir Master Alliance."

Peter was puzzled: "By the sound of this alliance leader’s name, is he a foreigner?"

"Hmph, no matter what country they are from, the Elixir Master Alliance has monopolized the world and there is only death for those who defy us!"

Peter also said solemnly: "You keep talking about death and killing, as if everything on Earth is under your control. You really think no one can oppose you!"

"Heh, naive! You can ask around, what can you do without the Elixir Master Alliance?"

Peter frowned: "So you actually follow the words of a foreigner. Are you Hua-Chinese people or foreigners?" Hearing this, Peter very much disliked these alchemists.

"You!"

Upon hearing this, the old man’s face turned ugly.

Peter said to the people who came with him: "Take a look at yourselves, do you have any integrity as Hua-Chinese people? Running around with foreigners to bully people from your own country, why don’t you just go **** with those foreigners!"

At that moment, the old man snorted: "I announce that starting now, our Elixir Master Alliance will not refine elixirs for your three sects for ten years. You have been warned!"
