Chapter 988: Chapter 988: The Counterattack Begins

"Young Master Ling, what brings you to our place today? The events that occurred in the square a month ago are still fresh in my memory. Your heroic figure lingers long in Emma Ya Cloud’s mind."

The Princess sure knew how to flatter, praising him with quite a skill.

"Princess Emma Ya Cloud, you flatter me too much. I’m here today not for other reasons, but to ask for your help in finding some things."

Ling Xiao hadn’t come to exchange pleasantries or build relationships, so he got straight to the point and took out the list he had prepared in advance.

It contained not only the materials needed but also the design diagrams for the medicine’s packaging.

People judge by appearances just as a horse is judged by its saddle.

Even Spirit Pills needed packaging.

Good packaging could elevate a pill to a new level.

Though it had no practical effect, martial artists were indeed taken in by such things.

Actually, packaging was inexpensive, but good packaging could make pills sell better.

"Young Master Ling, are you looking for these things for alchemy?"

Emma Ya asked with a smile.

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That’s right. With your intelligence, it shouldn’t be hard for you to guess. During the time I was in seclusion, Phoenix God College has been aggressively pushing Qingxu College to the brink. I didn’t want to bully them, but enough is enough!

If I don’t completely push Phoenix God College out of the elixir market this time, my name, Ling Xiao, will be written backwards!"

"Is it Young Master Ling who is doing the alchemy? Not that old gentleman?"

Emma Ya was taken aback and asked.

"What does it matter?"

Ling Xiao’s words came to this point, which was actually quite clear.

It was just that Emma Ya really couldn’t believe that Ling Xiao was such an incredible Alchemist, so she never thought in that direction.

She still thought Ling Xiao was apprenticed to that great master.

Ling Xiao didn’t bother to explain further; such a misconception could be beneficial, letting others think you had powerful backing.

"Hehe, it doesn’t matter. Since Young Master Ling needs these items, we’ll do our best to get them,"

Emma Ya said with a smile.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "It would be best to get them now. I can pay extra for them. Of course, if the materials aren’t complete, that’s okay; we can get a batch first and the rest can be gathered slowly."

"Young Master Ling must be joking; how could we let you pay more? According to our previous agreement, when you purchase items from Heavenly Dragon Auction House, everything is calculated at the lowest discount. You only need to pay half price."

Emma Ya was truly determined to help Ling Xiao.

You see, the list that Ling Xiao had provided involved an amount of over one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The key was, they didn’t have that much stock of many materials, and they had been supplying to Phoenix God College recently.

Now that Ling Xiao had suddenly requested so many, it was indeed tricky for her.

But she still agreed.

In her view, it was better to abandon Phoenix God College as a partner than to secure Ling Xiao.

Not just because of the Alchemist behind Ling Xiao.

More importantly, the existence of the Heavenly Dragon Auction House was actually to accomplish a major plan, and Ling Xiao might become a crucial part of this plan.

For that plan, earning less money was worth it.

"Princess Emma Ya Cloud is truly straightforward. How about this, help me prepare materials for one hundred Mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Pills."

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then said.

Mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill, an Advanced Yellow Grade elixir, can only be refined by a High-level Alchemist of the Yellow Rank.

This grade of pills was the highest caliber that Sun Shang was capable of refining.

Advanced Yellow Grade elixirs are extremely expensive, costing hundreds to thousands of times more than the materials on Ling Xiao’s previous list.

This instantly ignited a surge of anger in Yun Ya’s heart.

"You get a little advantage, and you want a huge one, isn’t that too much?"

Although she was enraged inside, her facial expression remained unchanged all the while, which really showed how impressive this woman was.

After weighing the pros and cons, she clenched her teeth and finally said, "Alright, since Young Master Ling has commanded it, Yun Ya naturally needs to make it happen for you."

There’s a saying that if you don’t want to take risks, you can’t catch the wolf, and if you’re not willing to let go, you can’t entrap the philanderer. Since she had already given so many concessions, she didn’t mind offering a few more.

It was better than having Ling Xiao lured away by others.

Even thinking this way, she still felt uncomfortable, and even that face of Ling Xiao didn’t seem so cute to her anymore.

"Is Princess Emma Ya Cloud angry?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"How could that be?"

Yun Ya shook her head and said in a light and breezy manner.

"Getting angry is inevitable, for if it were me, I would also be upset with someone being so greedy. However, Princess, you might have misunderstood. Of these hundred Mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills, fifty are for the Heavenly Dragon Auction House to refine; you just need to provide the materials. The remaining fifty are my service charge, that’s not excessive, is it?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Not excessive, not excessive at all, it’s more than reasonable—it’s fantastic!"

Yun Ya’s expression finally lost control at this moment, filled with uncontrollable joy.

After all, she was only human. Although she could control her emotions very well, facing such great news, how could she contain herself?

You must understand that Advanced Yellow Grade elixirs, as far as she knew, could only be refined by Sun Shang alone in both the Heavenly Dragon Continent and the Divine Phoenix Continent.

She had also approached Sun Shang before, hoping he could help refine some Advanced Yellow Grade elixirs.

Sun Shang did not refuse, but he asked for an exorbitant price that was simply unacceptable, and the key was that the success rate of refining wasn’t high.

The utilization rate of the materials was less than forty percent, and the rest was completely wasted.

At this thought, she suddenly looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Young Master Ling, how many times the materials do you need to refine a hundred Advanced Yellow Grade pills?"

If the necessary materials were too much, then this deal might indeed not be worthwhile.

If it were Sun Shang, at least twice the materials would be required, but she wondered about Ling Xiao.

"What do you mean several times over? A hundred Advanced Yellow Grade pills will require however many materials are needed."

Ling Xiao said, somewhat puzzled.

"You’re not telling me that your success rate in pill refining is one hundred percent, are you?" Palace Master Yun Ya looked at Ling Xiao as if she had seen a ghost.

Ling Xiao sighed and said, "If the success rate for refining pills of this level can’t reach a full hundred percent, then I might as well not be in the business at all."

With the Mountain and River Martial Soul, if there was still a waste of materials, Ling Xiao might as well just jump into a pond and drown himself—it would be too embarrassing.

"Young Master Ling isn’t joking?"

Yun Ya found it hard to believe. If this were true, then she would be making even more profit.

"Does Princess Emma Ya Cloud see me as someone who jokes around? Alright, if you’re willing, then go and fetch the materials. If not, that’s fine, I’m in a rush here,"

Ling Xiao said helplessly.

He was telling the truth after all, but why would no one believe it?
