Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1725: Chapter 1725 Ungrateful

Ye Liuyun’s conversation with the shop assistant once again caught the attention of Mr. Liu. As they chatted, he glanced at Ye Liuyun.

Being able to identify so many attributes of a medicinal pill indicated that Ye Liuyun was not an ordinary individual.

"Young man, I happen to be in need of a pill alchemy alchemy apprentice recently. You seem to understand some basics of pill refining. Why not come and learn the art of pill refining under me? If you work diligently, it won’t interfere with your pill-refining duties for the city lord."

He saw Ye Liuyun’s background from the mortal realm and realized he had no backing. By employing him as a free labor force, with the city lord’s mansion covering the expenses, he could save some cultivation resources.

Li Yuanyang immediately understood Mr. Liu’s intention. However, he felt that if Ye Liuyun could establish a relationship with Mr. Liu, it would bring him closer to Mr. Liu in the future.

"This is a good opportunity! You should thank Mr. Liu quickly!" Li Yuanyang urged Ye Liuyun, showing his agreement with Mr. Liu’s proposal.

"Hmm!" Mr. Liu was indeed satisfied and nodded.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun rejected him.

"Thank you, but I haven’t considered becoming a pill alchemy alchemy apprentice for anyone yet!"

Given Ye Liuyun’s previous temperament, he might have responded aggressively. However, he didn’t want to cause trouble now that others were stronger than him, so he remained calm and polite.

"Are you rejecting me?" He was surprised by Ye Liuyun’s refusal.

Many powerful factions were eager to send people to him, yet Ye Liuyun refused to become his alchemy alchemy apprentice.

"Are you out of your mind? Mr. Liu is the best pill master in Tundraland. Others don’t even have the opportunity to become his pill apprentices!" Li Yuanyang criticized Ye Liuyun.

Even the shop assistant looked at Ye Liuyun with a strange gaze.

Ye Liuyun remained silent, simply turning away and pretending to look at the pills, avoiding seeing the expressions of Li Yuanyang and Mr. Liu.

"Hmph! You are ungrateful!" Mr. Liu sneered and turned away, ignoring them.

Li Yuanyang whispered in Ye Liuyun’s ear, admonishing him for offending Mr. Liu and jeopardizing his future.

The elderly man who had been chatting with Mr. Liu looked at Ye Liuyun with interest.

He understood that since Mr. Liu wanted to take him as an alchemy alchemy apprentice, Ye Liuyun must have the ability to refine pills.

Ye Liuyun ignored Li Yuanyang’s words. After looking at the pills, he took out some feral beast core pills and asked the shop assistant for the price, eventually exchanging them for forty Divine Crystals.

This was the first time Ye Liuyun had seen Divine Crystals. The energy contained within was indeed more than ten times that of spiritual stones. And what he obtained was only low-grade Divine Crystals. It was estimated that the energy in high-grade Divine Crystals would be even more abundant.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun inquired about pill recipes.

"The price of a first-tier pill recipe ranges from one to ten Divine Crystals, and a second-tier pill recipe requires over ten thousand Divine Crystals," the shop assistant informed Ye Liuyun. She didn’t mention the higher tiers, as Ye Liuyun probably couldn’t afford them.

"What? A second-tier pill recipe costs over ten thousand Divine Crystals?" Ye Liuyun was astonished.

"The price difference between first-tier and second-tier pill recipes is too large!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.

Even Li Yuanyang was surprised by the high price of second-tier pill recipes.

The shop assistant explained with a smile, "Although they are both Qi Refining pill recipes, the ingredients, and proportions in a first-tier, top-grade pill recipe can only guarantee the formation of pills. A ninth-grade first-tier pill recipe has a different ratio of materials. As for second-tier pill recipes, the main and auxiliary materials are different. So, they are completely different things and cannot be measured solely by grade."

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized and nodded slowly.

He had seen first-tier, top-grade pill recipes before, and it was true that, even with precise operation, they could only form pills at most.

"Humph! You haven’t even refined a ninth-grade first-tier pill, and you want to buy a second-tier pill recipe?" On the other side, Mr. Liu began to taunt again.

Feeling annoyed, Ye Liuyun wondered why Mr. Liu kept interfering with them while they were shopping.

"Old geezer? Are you pushing your luck?" Ye Liuyun cursed under his breath.

After being provocatively taunted by this pill master several times, Ye Liuyun finally couldn’t help it.

"What? I am here to buy a second-tier pill recipe. Does Mystique Mart not sell them?" He no longer showed any mercy and retorted directly.

The elderly man who had been chatting with Mr. Liu smiled faintly at these words.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanyang had gone pale from shock at Ye Liuyun’s words. He hurriedly pulled at Ye Liuyun’s sleeve, urging him to stop.

Mr. Liu’s expression immediately darkened. However, as a pill master and the manager here, he couldn’t refuse to sell to a paying customer.

He simply looked down on Ye Liuyun’s mortal origins and, accustomed to his pride, felt extremely aggrieved by being rejected by someone without status like Ye Liuyun, especially after being criticized by him.

"Do you believe that I can make you unwelcome in Tundraland?" Mr. Liu threatened.

"If this is the hospitality of Mystique Mart, you might as well kill me now!" Ye Liuyun retorted fearlessly.

Having managed a business association before, though not directly, he understood the importance of the association’s reputation.

Indeed, his words made Mr. Liu somewhat more restrained. He turned away completely, refusing to look at Ye Liuyun to avoid further annoyance. freewёbnoνel.com

Even though he was frustrated, he didn’t dare to confront Ye Liuyun directly. At least for now, Ye Liuyun was still a guest at Mystique Mart. He was just secretly planning how to trouble Ye Liuyun later.

Li Yuanyang stood in place, looking embarrassed and unsure of what to do.

Ye Liuyun had offended Mr. Liu, and he would be targeted when he went out in the future. This was not a good thing.

But if Ye Liuyun could only stay in the city lord’s mansion in the future, it would be a good thing for Li Yuanyang. Ye Liuyun would rely more on him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yuanyang decided to keep Ye Liuyun, earn money first, and then see what to do.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was already inquiring about pill recipes from the shop assistant. However, he wasn’t very interested in first-tier pill recipes.

Many second-tier pill recipes were priced outrageously high. The one the shop assistant mentioned earlier, priced at over ten thousand Divine Crystals, was just for some basic pills for refining Qi, refining the body, and condensing the soul.

Ye Liuyun did not covet too much, he decided to refine these pills first, to meet the basic needs of the people in the Spatial World.

Even Li Yuanyang didn’t want to buy all the first-tier, top-grade pill recipes.

Since he didn’t pay much attention to cultivating the Divine Soul, he suggested that Ye Liuyun give up the soul-condensing pill recipe.
