Chapter 257 (Luxury Car Extra - )
The surrounding crowd was entirely stupefied, they stared at Adam as if looking at an absolute monster.
"The Heaven-Grade Spirit Pills are trying to run away!" someone shrieked.
Sure enough, the restless pills suddenly shot straight up into the sky one by one.
However, as if hitting an invisible barrier, they froze in mid-air before being slowly and effortlessly pulled back into Adam’s grasp.
"That’s right, Alchemist Carlos, I didn’t perform too well this time, I should be able to refine something better next time." Adam smiled.
Recovering from his shock, Carlos’s expression turned unfathomably ugly, he had thought a High-Grade Spirit Pill was a guaranteed victory.
Yet his opponent had casually produced a Heaven-Grade pill, how was he supposed to compete with that?
The next moment, the entire crowd surged forward, swarming Adam in the center, everyone stared at him excitedly, their eyes filled with absolute fanaticism.
Heaven-Grade Spirit Pills! These were absolute holy medicines for healing, to those major prominent families, this was unquestionably the best possible treasure.
Not only was the healing efficacy magnified by at least ten times, but more importantly, all medicines possess three parts poison, no matter how perfectly a pill was refined, there would always be a slight accumulation of medicinal residue.
While the residue in Supreme-Grade pills was negligible enough to be ignored, Heaven-Grade pills possessed absolutely zero medicinal residue.
Furthermore, cultivators often developed drug resistance after consuming a certain quantity of normal pills, eventually rendering them ineffective, Heaven-Grade pills completely bypassed this limitation.
"Grandmaster Alchemist, I am willing to spend 10,000 top-tier spirit stones to buy all nine pills!"
"Only 10,000?! Are you trying to dismiss a beggar? I bid 50,000!"
"50,000 is nothing! I offer 100,000 directly!"
"None of you fight over this! My Clan claims all nine of these pills!"
"What face does your Clan have to demand them? My Clan truly deserves these nine pills!"
In an instant, the crowd broke out into a frantic bidding war, faces flushed red as everyone desperately vied for these nine Heaven-Grade pills.
"Silence! My Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion claims these nine pills!"
Suddenly, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared in the sky, his heavily wrinkled eyes blazed with burning desire, he was the Pavilion Master of the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion.
Exuding the transcendent aura of a Daoist immortal, he descended and landed before Adam.
"Little friend..." he began, only to be immediately cut off.
"Pavilion Master Atlas, although you are the master of the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion, we want these nine pills too."
"Pavilion Master Atlas, others might fear you, but my Clan certainly does not."
"My Clan will not take a single step back either!"
Looking at the old man in mid-air, the crowd voiced their defiance one after another.
The old man’s face twitched.
To disrespect me so openly... do they no longer want to survive in Hundred Rivers City?
"You people... I am the Pavilion Master of the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion after all! If you continue to disrespect me, be careful that I don’t cut off all trade with your clans in the future!" the old man said coldly.
The bodies of those arrogant bystanders instantly stiffened.
"Pavilion Master, it’s not that we aren’t giving you face, but these are Heaven-Grade Spirit Pills! Someone in my clan is critically injured and urgently needs this pill to save their life!"
"Pavilion Master, my father was harmed by a treacherous villain yesterday and is bedridden with his life hanging by a thread! Saving a life builds more merit than erecting a seven-tiered pagoda, surely you wouldn’t just watch someone die?"
"That’s right! My family has a similar situation!"
The crowd chimed in one by one, absolutely refusing to back down.
The old man’s expression shifted several times, these bastards are really something!
"Fine! Then we will split these pills equally."
Although he was the Pavilion Master of the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion, it was ultimately just an establishment for refining pills.
These major clans didn’t care about the pavilion’s combat strength at all, if they genuinely decided to gang up and target him, taking a hardline stance would definitely end badly.
"That’s more like it! There are nine pills, let the three of us take three each," the bystander from the Drake Clan said with a face full of excitement, if he brought these back, he would become a massive hero, and his status would skyrocket.
Carlos’s face was extremely ugly, he was supposed to be the main character in this city, everyone should have been revolving around him! But now he had been completely forgotten in a corner, with no one sparing him a single glance.
The two guards were shivering in fear, not even daring to raise their heads to look at Adam.
They desperately prayed that Adam would forget about the whole ordeal and forget the bet.
But alas, the very thing they feared most came to pass.
"Everyone, everyone, please step aside." Adam gently pushed through the crowd.
"I still have a very important matter to attend to."
Adam slowly walked up to Carlos, a calm, composed smile curling his lips. "You lost, so, where are you going to start licking from?"
Carlos’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
The surrounding crowd immediately adopted looks of eagerness, ready to watch the drama unfold.
This condition had originally been set up to humiliate Adam, yet Carlos never expected it to fall squarely back onto his own head.
"I..." He opened his mouth, completely at a loss for words.
"Little friend, isn’t there some misunderstanding here?" The old man walked over, preparing to smooth things over.
From the top of the pavilion, he had witnessed the entire bet play out.
On one side was the Deep Clan, one of the three major families of Hundred Rivers City, on the other was a super alchemist capable of refining Heaven-Grade pills, he didn’t want these two sides to spark an irreconcilable conflict.
"A bet is a bet, winners win, and losers lose, there is no misunderstanding between us." Adam shook his head, his intended goal had already been achieved.
He was going to explode in popularity within Hundred Rivers City.
The number of people seeking him out to refine pills would undoubtedly form an endless stream.
