The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1555
Chapter 1555 An Impolite Condition
Qin Feng had a grudge with Danbao Pavilion of the Los Angeles Branch, so he had a bad impression of Danbao Pavilion in front of him. However, seeing that Zhuo Xiaoyue had already entered, Qin Feng followed suit.
As the second-ranked pill shop in Beisha Continent, Danbao Pavilion’s resources were incomparably abundant. At this moment, there were quite a few cultivators buying pills in the main hall. Qin Feng simply scanned the hall and discovered that all pills below Golden Core quality were for sale.
“Young Hero Qin, Danbao Pavilion sells magic pills and magic pills. When you arrive in Golden Core, you need to invite the alchemists here to refine them or buy them at a high price in the inner hall.”
Zhuo Xiaoyue briefed Qin Feng about Danbao Pavilion. She had known Qin Feng from the Flower City Auction House and knew that Qin Feng was a wealthy owner. “Young Hero Qin rarely came to Pill City. If there were any pills that she lacked, she could buy them from this shop.”
Qin Feng knew that Zhuo Xiaoyue was reminding him kindly, but he really did not lack pills at the moment. He was originally a Tier 3 and Tier 7 Pill King, so he could refine whatever pills he needed.
However, Qin Feng did not say much about how he knew how to concoct pills. In the end, he had only known Zhuo Xiaoyue for less than a day. Zhuo Xiaoyue was a little on guard against Qin Feng, so Qin Feng naturally wouldn’t completely talk to this woman.
The two waited in the hall for a while before an ordinary disciple from Danbao Pavilion walked over.
“Gentlemen, the Master Lu you have arranged has arrived. Please follow me.”
The two of them followed the disciple inside and finally arrived at a separate luxurious room. The disciple sent the person over and left on his own. Qin Feng and Zhuo Xiaoyue walked in.
The room was filled with high-grade wooden products, giving off an ancient fragrance. There was a wooden platform in the east, and a middle-aged man in a grey robe was sitting there cultivating.
“Pill Master Lu, excuse me!”
Zhuo Xiaoyue greeted Pill Master Lu respectfully.
This Pill Master Lu was a Third Grade Sixth Grade Danbao Pavilion from Golden Core Master, and his status in Danbao Pavilion was neither high nor low. However, in the eyes of outsiders like Zhuo Xiaoyue, Pill Master Lu was an existence that stood high above others.
Lu Hui didn’t seem to have heard Zhuo Xiaoyue’s words and was still sitting there calmly and leisurely. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he slowly opened his eyes.
“What pill did you ask me to refine?” Lu Hui looked at Zhuo Xiaoyue indifferently. Obviously, she did not look at this woman in her eyes. However, when he saw Zhuo Xiaoyue’s plump figure, his gaze paused for a few more seconds.
Zhuo Xiaoyue didn’t notice these details at all. Seeing Pill Master Lu’s question, she immediately said excitedly, “Pill Master Lu, I want to ask you to help refine a Golden Soul Pill.”
Lou Hui nodded slightly.
The Golden Soul Pill was one of the sixth-grade Golden Core pills. It required a third-grade Golden Core Master to successfully refine it. Lu Hui was barely able to refine the Golden Soul Pill.
‘”You need to bring your own ingredients to refine pills” Lu Hui said arrogantly.
Zhuo Xiaoyue hurriedly took out the Golden Leaf Grass from the Flower City auction and said respectfully, “Pill Master Lu, I only got the main ingredients for the Golden Soul Pill. However, I am willing to buy the other ingredients in Danbao Pavilion.”
In the refinement of the Golden Soul Pill, the most difficult spirit herb to find was the Golden Leaf Grass. As for the other auxiliary herbs, they were common.
When Lu Hui saw the Golden Leaf Grass, his eyes lit up. He was only at the Saint King realm now, and the Golden Soul Pill was an excellent pill for breaking through to the Four Saint Kings realm, something he lacked.
However, Lu Hui quickly pretended to be calm. He looked at Zhuo Xiaoyue carefully and saw that this woman did not look like a disciple of a large sect or family. Some thoughts arose in his heart.
“Purchase the remaining medicinal ingredients, plus the cost of my operation, there’s a total of one million high-grade spirit stones.” Lu Hui suddenly said.
Zhuo Xiaoyue’s expression changed drastically. The price was much higher than she had expected.
Actually, Zhuo Xiaoyue had already inquired about the pill refining fees in Danbao Pavilion. A Tier 3 Golden Core would cost 100,000 Spirit Stones, and the rest of the supplementary medicinal ingredients added together would not exceed 100,000 Spirit Stones. Thus, Zhuo Xiaoyue prepared 200,000 spirit stones to come. She originally thought that it was completely sufficient, but now she realized that it was not what she thought …
“Pill Master Lu, how could it be so expensive? Did you hear wrongly? I want to refine a Third Grade Sixth Grade Golden Core.” Zhuo Xiaoyue was anxious. After spending three million yuan to bid for the Golden Leaf Grass, all her possessions were left with 200,000 yuan.
Luo Hui’s expression turned cold as she reprimanded, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I’m cheating on you?”
Zhuo Xiaoyue was too anxious and didn’t pay attention to what she said. She quickly calmed down and explained, “Don’t be angry, Pill Master Lu. I also hired a pill master to refine a Third Grade Danbao Pavilion in Golden Core before. The fee seems to be only 100,000 high-grade spirit stones …”
Zhuo Xiaoyue looked at Luhui carefully. Luhui was a little flustered. He thought that this woman in front of him didn’t know anything, but he didn’t expect her to be so knowledgeable.
However, Lu Hui had already said what she wanted to say, so how could she change it so easily? Moreover, he did not put Zhuo Xiaoyue in his eyes. This kind of woman with no backer background did not have any temper to suppress her.
‘”Humph! Don’t compare ordinary alchemists to me. You should first ask about my status in Danbao Pavilion’s Golden Core Master … There are countless people who usually come to me to refine pills. If you can’t afford to pay, then go out. Don’t waste my time.”
Seeing that Lu Hui was angry, Zhuo Xiaoyue was so anxious that she was covered in cold sweat.
There was a rule in Danbao Pavilion to ask an alchemist to concoct pills. If an alchemist refused to help concoct pills, the rest of the alchemists in Danbao Pavilion would no longer accept this list.
“Pill Master Lu, this little girl doesn’t mean that. It’s just that I came in a hurry and only prepared 200,000 spirit stones. I hope that Pill Master Lu will be kind enough to help this little girl this time.”
Zhuo Xiaoyue’s mood fell to the bottom. She had originally planned well, but now it seemed that all her efforts would be in vain.
‘”Hmph! How could there be a pie falling from the sky? The price of one million won’t be lower anymore. If you don’t have money, you can leave.” Lu Hui snorted coldly.
Zhuo Xiaoyue’s tears rolled in her eyes. She even secretly glanced at Qin Feng and thought to herself, Qin Feng is a wealthy owner. Should she ask him to borrow 800,000 spirit stones first? However, in the end, Zhuo Xiaoyue did not have the nerve to speak. She was unable to repay Qin Feng for saving her life, so how could she ask Qin Feng for more money?
Seeing that there was no hope for pill refining, Zhuo Xiaoyue could only gloomily prepare to leave, but before she could leave the door, Lu Hui’s cold voice sounded, “There is still another way to help you refine pills …”
Zhuo Xiaoyue was overjoyed and hurriedly ran back, “Pill Master Lu, please tell me, the little girl will definitely do everything she can.”
Lu Hui didn’t really want Zhuo Xiaoyue to leave just now. All of this was a scene that he directed and acted. Seeing that Zhuo Xiaoyue was eager to refine the Golden Soul Pill, Lu Hui’s eyes flashed with a faint smile.
He stared at Zhuo Xiaoyue’s plump chest and pretended to be calm as he said, “Since you don’t have enough spirit stones, then make up for it with something else. I can refine two Golden Soul Pills in one batch, but you can only get one … Also, you can stay here tonight and accompany me for the night.”
Zhuo Xiaoyue originally did not want to ask for more Golden Soul Pills. She was very satisfied with getting one. However, after hearing what Lu Hui said, Zhuo Xiaoyue’s expression turned cold. She did not expect that this Pill Master Lu was actually a human-faced and beast-hearted fellow.
“Pill Master Lu, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Zhuo Xiaoyue glared at Luhui angrily, but she was still puzzled in her heart. Looking at Beisha Continent, there were countless beautiful women like Celestial Immortals. Her appearance could only be considered average. I wonder why Lou Hui had taken a fancy to her?
Actually, when it came to rookies, the first thing they valued was the appearance of a woman. Some people with experience in picking up girls would pay attention to a woman’s breasts at first glance. As for an expert like Qin Feng, he would first look at a woman’s long legs and buttocks.
This Lu Hui was obviously an experienced romantic expert, and he valued Zhuo Xiaoyue’s alluring and sexy figure even more.
“Haha! I’ve already said what I should have said. Think about it yourself.”
Lu Hui pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, he was certain that the woman in front of him would obediently submit to him.
However, this time, Lu Hui had misjudged someone. Zhuo Xiaoyue was different from the woman he had slept with before. Although Zhuo Xiaoyue needed the Golden Soul Pill, she had her own bottom line.
“I was wrong, don’t even think about it!”
Zhuo Xiaoyue coldly glared at Luhui and turned around to leave. Lu Hui was stunned. He really didn’t expect Zhuo Xiaoyue to leave.
“Have you really considered it? It’s rare that you don’t want to obtain the Golden Soul Pill to break through to the Four Realms of Saint Kings?”
Seeing Zhuo Xiaoyue arrive at the door, Luhui hurriedly said.
Zhuo Xiaoyue stopped beside Qin Feng. She was a little embarrassed to look at Qin Feng. She did not know if Qin Feng had heard Lu Hui’s rude request just now. Thinking of this kind of thing, Zhuo Xiaoyue felt extremely embarrassed.
“If I follow your request, I’d rather not make a breakthrough.” Zhuo Xiaoyue’s attitude was resolute.
Lu Hui was furious. The woman he wanted to soak up had never failed. In his opinion, Zhuo Xiaoyue’s figure was perfect, and her appearance and background were very ordinary. It was Zhuo Xiaoyue’s fortune to be favored by him. Unexpectedly, she still didn’t appreciate it.
“Hmph! You’d better think about it clearly. If you really leave this room, you won’t be able to buy any pills in Danbao Pavilion in the future. More than half of the small pharmacies in Pill City will also blacklist you.”
Lu Hui’s expression was cold as she used her power to suppress Zhuo Xiaoyue.
Apart from being cold, Zhuo Xiaoyue’s face was more helpless. She was a weak woman who lived in the Immortal Sovereign Continent, and her path of cultivation was already very difficult. It was fine that no one helped her, but they always met bastards like Luo Hui who wanted to suppress and force her.
Originally, she thought that she would have a chance to break through to the Four Realms of the Saint King if she bid for the Golden Leaf Grass, but now, Zhuo Xiaoyue realized how naive her thoughts were. She suddenly felt extremely tired, and even had the thought of giving up cultivating at this moment.
“Young Hero Qin, let’s go.” Zhuo Xiaoyue ignored Luhui and hurriedly left Danbao Pavilion.
On the way back, Zhuo Xiaoyue lowered her head in disappointment and did not say anything. When she reached the door, she raised her head and said, “Young Hero Qin, if you have anything important, you can go and do it. I’m fine.”
Qin Feng pushed open the door and walked in. He directly sat down on the stone stool in the middle of the courtyard. With a flip of his hand, a cauldron of pills appeared beneath his feet.
The pill furnace was exquisite and beautiful, with vivid patterns of birds and beasts carved on it. This was the Cosmos Cauldron in the System Pill Refining Pavilion. Now, it was taken out by Qin Feng.
