Chapter 757 - 757 Third Floor Of The ʼMyriad Pills Pavilionʼ (2)

A moment later, Shun Long quickly suppressed the smile on his face and kept staring at the scene in front of him.

Not only did the third floor of the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ have plenty of rank 6 pills and medicinal herbs for sale, but it even had some ʼemptyʼ counters where certain white-robed old men and women were sitting behind them.

Surprisingly, those counters were the most popular ones on the third floor, as people had queued up in front of them, forming extremely long lines.

However, Shun Longʼs eyes were focused on the words above each of those counters, which made his eyes lit up once again.

ʼʼRank 2 gold-grade alchemist, Yan Feng. Able to refine low and middle rank 6 pills. Price per refinement: 40.000 middle-grade spirit stones.ʼʼ

ʼʼRank 3 gold-grade alchemist, Shi Tai. Able to refine middle and high-grade rank 6 pills. Price: 100.000 middle-grade spirit stones.ʼʼ

ʼʼPeak rank 3 gold-grade alchemist, Huang Ming. Able to refine high-grade pills with 80 percent certainty. Price: 180.000 middle-grade spirit stones.ʼʼ

...

ʼʼCommander Quan, are these alchemists all from the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ?ʼʼ Bai Longtian asked in surprise, as he, Liu Mei, and the others, all stared at the scene on the third floor of the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ in front of them.

There were more than 100 rank 2 and rank 3 gold-grade alchemists on this floor, and almost all of them had long lines in front of their counters, with many cultivators lined up to reach them.

The vast majority of those cultivators were Dao Kings, while a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators were also mixed in among them.

Shaking his head, commander Quan looked at Bai Longtian and answered seriously

ʼʼOf course not. Although the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ has many gold-grade alchemists, how could they have more than 100 of them who are so free that they have nothing else to do? If that was the case, our Northern Sovereignʼs estate and the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ wouldnʼt even have a chance to compete with the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ in this regard.

The alchemists here are all alchemists who are working by themselves, and most of them are rogue, or they belong to some of the smaller powers in our Nothern Sovereignʼs city.

However, since refining pills is so profitable, many of them choose to set up stalls within the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ.ʼʼ Commander Quanʼs voice was laced with hints of envy as he stared at the numerous stalls around him.

It didnʼt matter if one was a Spirit realm cultivator or a Dao Emperor realm expert, everyone would need the help of an alchemist at some point in their lives.

This was why alchemists could charge exorbitant prices to refine pills and no one would bat an eye.

After all, one could earn back spirit stones, but they couldnʼt get back those years in their lives that they spent on training when they could have advanced even faster by consuming pills.

ʼʼInteresting. So the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ doesnʼt care that these alchemists are stealing its business?ʼʼ Jiang Chen asked a moment later as he looked at the hundreds of counters around him.

Without question, the counters of the rogue alchemists were the most popular ones, attracting more than half of the cultivators on the third floor.

Commander Quan smiled and shook his head when he heard Jiang Chenʼs question, before he answered in a slightly derisive manner

ʼʼHehe, young master, do you think that the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ would do something that would hurt their business? How could those old fools possibly let anyone steal their business under their noses? This is actually even more beneficial to the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ as a whole.

Firstly, the pavilion doesnʼt let those rogue alchemists put their stalls there for free, as it will always take a 20 percent commission from them with every purchase.

Additionally, the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ has its own gold-grade alchemists who are refining rank 6 pills. Why would any of the cultivators here pay those rogue alchemists tens of thousands of spirit stones while also providing them with the medicinal herbs they need for the pills they want to refine and even risk the chance for the pill concoction to fail, when they can just buy the pills from the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ directly?ʼʼ

Looks of realization appeared on Jiang Chenʼs and the othersʼ faces when they heard this as commander Quan then continued

ʼʼNaturally, they wonʼt! They will only employ the services of those alchemists only if they canʼt purchase the pills they need from the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ directly.

As for those pills that have an extremely low success rate, why would the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ possibly risk refining them themselves while losing those expensive medicinal herbs in the process?

They will instead be extremely happy to let those cultivators purchase these medicinal herbs from them and let those alchemists try their hands on them.

Even if the pill concoction is a failure, the pavilion doesnʼt lose anything from it since they will have already sold the medicinal herbs to those cultivators, and they will even take a 20 percent cut from the alchemists.

The ones who take all the risks are the cultivators who need those pills!ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs lips curved up as he stared at the counters around him before he said smilingly

ʼʼThis way, not only does the ʼMyriad pills pavilionʼ boost its business since they attract more cultivators, but the more successful alchemists make a killing after building their reputation since more people will choose to buy their pills.ʼʼ

Commander Quan nodded his head calmly, and after taking a brief look at the third floor, he looked at Shun Long and the others and said

ʼʼYoung masters, I need to meet the vice pavilion master. If you finish your business here, please come find me on the 5th floor.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, commander Quan cupped his hands at Shun Long and the rest, before his figure disappeared on the spot.
