Wei Qi's eyes were fixated on the pill in his hand, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen a pill that had no impurities. The seven pills were exactly the same as the pattern and there was no deviation. Clearly, they were refined in the same batch.
He had concocted pills for nearly twenty years, and had stepped into the threshold of becoming a Profound Level alchemist for some time as well. His attainments in alchemy were definitely not shallow, but to be able to concoct seven pellets of this level in a batch was absolutely impossible.
Wei Qi calmed the undulating emotions in his heart, grabbed the young man's shoulders and said: "Junior Brother, are you sure that these pellets were refined by Maki Chen?"
Senior Brother, I'm not too sure either, but the pills did indeed come from Maki Chen's Pill Refining Pavilion. Even if it wasn't Maki Chen who refined it, the person who refined the pills must have a close relationship with him.
Hearing the young man's guess, Wei Qi felt better. Although refining pills relied on one's Inherent Skill and comprehension ability, there was a limit to one's Inherent Skill.
He did not believe that a fifteen or sixteen year old brat would refine a better pill than him, a Profound Level alchemist who had come into contact with the way of alchemy for twenty years.
But the comforting he repeated in his heart did not work at all, a thought suddenly appeared in Wei Qi's mind, what if Maki Chen truly had such an astonishing Inherent Skill!
He imagined himself losing to a little kid who was not even half his age in front of all the Mountain Sea Pavilion disciples. How could he endure such humiliation!
The moment this thought appeared, it began to circulate in his head and lingering in his head.
I... I have to do something, I definitely can't let that brat off easy, I have to discredit him!
Wei Qi's hands clenched into fists, and stopped trembling. His pair of cold eyes looked at the young man in front of him, and a dull smile surfaced on his face.
Maki Chen reclined on the reclining chair, his face full of dejection. When he glanced at the Pill Cauldron from the corner of his eye, he quickly retracted it.
After refining the pellets all night long, Maki Chen's consumption of Spirit Soul was higher than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because the strength of his Spirit Soul was not strong enough, or perhaps it was because he had not refined pellets for a long time, which was why his control over the consumption of the Spirit Soul was not right. At this moment, he was already exhausted to the point of exhaustion, and felt as if his own Spirit Soul was separated from his body.
However, Maki Chen was still worried.
A pill refiner, the most important thing was his Spirit Soul. The stronger the Spirit Soul, the more detailed and detailed he would be able to control everything when refining pills. This was also one of the reasons why Maki Chen had been able to produce such a high quality pill.
And every time he refined a pill, he would need to consume a certain amount of Spirit Soul's power. When it reached a certain amount, the Spirit Soul would feel uncomfortable.
Although the feeling after the Spirit Soul was used up was not pleasant, but it was a method to train the Spirit Soul, which was why Maki Chen was so happy about refining pills.
The strength of the Spirit Soul was not only beneficial to the process of refining pills, it was also extremely beneficial to Maki Chen's cultivation. Every time he exhausted too much of his Spirit Soul, Maki Chen would activate the [Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder Spell].
Although Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder Spell was a cultivation technique to increase one's cultivation and physique, it also had the ability to temper the Spirit Soul. Cultivating the Spirit Soul when it was in its weakened state would greatly increase the strength of the Spirit Soul.
He sat cross-legged and cultivated for six hours before Maki Chen finally opened his eyes and looked out the window at the sky which was already starting to shine brightly.
This was the case for cultivators. By cultivating to expel the drowsiness from their body, they could completely replace the sleep of ordinary people without any side effects.
Turning his head to look at the Blacky, he saw that it was lying in front of a pile of jars that was slightly bigger than him, sleeping soundly.
Those jars were filled with honey that had been collected recently. After the Queen Bee died, all the bees had disappeared without a trace, causing the beehives to become ownerless, allowing Maki Chen and the Blacky to move freely.
It was just that moving every day was a little troublesome and a lot of time was wasted. This further strengthened Maki Chen's resolve to need Spatial Ring.
Blacky, get up!
Just like usual, Maki Chen grabbed the Blacky's neck and shook it in front of him.
The Blacky slowly opened its eyes after being tormented like this. Its drowsy look was rather cute, but when Maki Chen thought about how the Blacky's body was more than five meters away from its actual body, the feeling it had just experienced was completely annihilated.
Old... Boss, you don't need to sleep that early in the morning.
Have you forgotten what you promised me yesterday?
The Blacky blinked its heavy eyelids, thought for a bit, then immediately responded: "Understood, I'll go with you to the Chamber of Commerce to take a look.
With that, she stretched her waist and looked towards Maki Chen as she continued: Boss, how much do you think that Queen Bee's tail needle will be worth?
It should be worth a few thousand Primordial Stone. At that time, I will pay you some money to buy some treasures of heaven and earth that are beneficial to your cultivation.
Hearing that it was time to buy something for him, Blacky's sleepy mind immediately turned bright and its eyes became big with excitement.
Boss, let's go now!
With regards to the Blacky's reaction, Maki Chen felt that it was both funny and helpless. He put the Blacky on his shoulder and left the pavilion, heading towards the direction of the Wenchuan City.
Sparrow City was an extremely famous and bustling place in the Heavenly Enlightenment. Maki Chen had only been to this city twice, so he did not have a special understanding of it.
Amongst them, the merchant guild was Maki Chen's first choice of target. He had already understood it clearly when he bought Duan Yun's wooden box last time.
There were a total of seventeen chambers of commerce within the city. Usually, they dealt mainly in ordinary transactions, but they would also hold some auctions. Compared to the auctions below, the prices of the merchant guilds were definitely fair.
Their destination this time was the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, one of the seventeen.
Maki Chen's original plan in refining the pills was to focus on the Sect, but if he wanted to maximize the benefits, he would have to place the pills at a place like the merchant guild.
There was an appraiser in the Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of evaluating the prices of the medicinal pellets, Origin Tools, Divine Symbols and other treasures. Maki Chen did not know the true price of his own medicine, so he took this opportunity to buy Spatial Ring to get to know more about it.
The entire journey was about two hours. Maki Chen and the Blacky both increased their speed, and during this period, they did not encounter any Primordial Demon blocking their path, so the amount of time they spent was only slightly more than half an hour.
Entering Mystic City, Maki Chen's Mountain Sea Pavilion attire immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
In Heavenly Enlightenment Nation, Mountain Sea Pavilion was synonymous with the top-notch Sect. Furthermore, Mountain Sea Pavilion was just around the edge of Wenque City, it was normal for people to pay such attention to it.
Actually, Maki Chen had planned to come out wearing his clothes, but after thinking about it, if he went to the Chamber of Commerce later on to discuss business, this outfit would probably give him a lot of benefits.
