Chapter 260
And this output was only limited because he was working entirely alone, if he had a few skilled helpers, raking in several million top-tier spirit stones a day wouldn’t be an issue.
However, the most exhilarating profits still came from higher-tier pills.
A single high-tier pill could easily equal the value of an entire batch of Fifth-Tier pills, anything above the Fifth Tier was considered the true domain of master alchemy.
Over these ten days, he had barely rested, earning spirit stones truly wasn’t a walk in the park, every refinement session drained a massive amount of mental energy and required laser-focused concentration.
Fortunately, Adam possessed a Supreme Dao Heart and incredibly robust mental strength.
This level of exhaustion was practically nothing to him, the more he refined, the more energized he became.
After handing over the 30 million top-tier spirit stones to Cecilia, he walked out of the pill refinement room, it’s about time I left this place.
But suddenly, Adam turned right around and marched back into the room.
"Grandmaster Alchemist, what are you doing?" Atlas looked at him in confusion.
Didn’t he say he would leave once he earned enough? Does he not want to leave now?
"Pavilion Master, I’m still short 20 million spirit stones," Adam said calmly.
"Therefore, I will continue to stay at the Pill Pavilion."
He had suddenly remembered that his future small island would need a mountain-protecting grand formation, otherwise, what would happen if enemies attacked while he was busy crossing spatial barriers?
Atlas was utterly speechless.
Didn’t you say you’d leave after earning 50 million? Why did you walk out at 30 million just to change your mind a second later?
But naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.
Having Adam stay only brought massive benefits and zero drawbacks, thanks to him, the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion had cemented itself as the undisputed number one in Hundred Rivers City, countless customers flocked from all directions to purchase pills and catch a glimpse of the Grandmaster Alchemist’s glory.
"Grandmaster Alchemist, how many more medicinal herbs do you require?" Atlas asked.
"The more, the better." Adam smiled faintly, he was a Grandmaster Alchemist now, his consumption rate for medicinal herbs was astronomical, even though a single batch only yielded nine pills, the sheer volume of raw materials burned through was immense.
Previously, aside from the herbs customers provided themselves, the rest had been supplied by the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion.
If he wanted to mass-produce, the more materials the better.
"The Pavilion Master doesn’t think I’m just freeloading, right?"
"Grandmaster Alchemist, please put your heart at ease, as long as the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion has it in stock, take whatever you please!" Atlas declared with grand generosity.
"Many thanks, Pavilion Master." Adam nodded.
In the time that followed, Adam disappeared from the public eye once again, he dove headfirst back into the pill refinement room, working relentlessly day and night.
A week passed in this exact manner, he finally secured the full 50 million top-tier spirit stones, coupled with the pills he had refined previously, his harvest was extraordinarily bountiful.
During this period, his reputation had completely blown up throughout Hundred Rivers City.
Practically no one hadn’t heard the name of the Pill King, his mastery over the Dao of Alchemy had reached a state of divine perfection, turning him into Hundred Rivers City’s hottest, undisputed superstar.
As for other matters, surprisingly nothing much had happened.
Carlos, the youngest alchemist of the Deep Clan whom Adam had humiliated, hadn’t made a single move to retaliate.
This left Adam deeply puzzled.
The Deep Clan’s tolerance level is a bit too good, isn’t it?
Since he didn’t know the reason, he didn’t stress over it, for things that hadn’t happened yet, preparing properly was enough, there was no need for unwarranted anxiety.
In the middle of his refinement marathon, he had even stepped out once, he had sensed a fortuitous encounter nearby that felt suitable for him, so he went out and successfully contested for it.
Now, finally, everything was in order, he was ready to set sail.
In the Deep Clan compound, Carlos’s face was dark and gloomy, yet he was completely helpless.
"Father, are we really just going to let this go? That bastard Wilford has been living far too comfortably lately!"
Wilford was Adam’s alias.
Over the past few days, Adam had been enjoying infinite glory and limelight in Hundred Rivers City, things that rightfully should have belonged to Carlos.
"I cannot swallow this anger." Carlos clenched his fists tightly.
"Patriarch, because of him, our Deep Clan’s reputation and business have been severely impacted!"
"That’s right! Whenever our business partners hear that we have a feud with Wilford, they immediately tear up their contracts, we have lost so much!"
"If this continues, our Deep Clan won’t be able to survive in Hundred Rivers City anymore!"
Behind Carlos, several Deep Clan elders were filled with righteous indignation, as elders of the clan, they had naturally received the news.
That brat hadn’t given them any face whatsoever, publicly humiliating Carlos, this was blatantly disregarding their Deep Clan altogether.
"Calm down." The Patriarch waved his hand and said coldly.
"That kid has some tricks up his sleeve, crushing him won’t be simple, it’s actually highly difficult."
"The problem is we don’t know how many connections he has built up, or if anyone is willing to step in and protect him."
The Patriarch’s words forced everyone to calm down, no matter how many tricks that kid had, killing him wasn’t inherently difficult.
After all, this was Hundred Rivers City, with their faction’s power, killing Adam would be as easy as flipping their hands.
Since his cultivation was only so high, not even at the Heaven and Earth Deity Realm, the Deep Clan had ten thousand ways to make him disappear without a trace.
The crucial issue was that they didn’t know exactly how many people he was currently refining pills for.
Those clients had handed their precious pill recipes and rare materials over to Adam.
If Adam suddenly died right now, those people would go absolutely crazy, even their Deep Clan might not withstand the collective wrath of those powerhouses.
Furthermore, there were definitely many people secretly protecting Adam, attempting to assassinate the kid right now would be extremely difficult.
