Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1904: Chapter 1903: Being Questioned

At this moment, Lin Dong asked once more with genuine puzzlement, ”Why is it said that possessing the Purple-gold Alchemy Fire means one is halfway to becoming a Five-Rank Alchemist?”

This time, he wasn’t pretending to be ’puzzled’; he was truly confused.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng personally explained to him, ”Because one of the necessary conditions for becoming a Five-Rank Alchemist is to have condensed the Purple-gold Alchemist Fire.”

”Only when the alchemist fire reaches the level of Purple-gold Fire can one become a Five-Rank Alchemist.”

”To refine a Five-grade Dan medicine, the requirements in terms of the temperature of the flame, its energy, and so on, are incredibly high. An ordinary alchemist fire simply cannot achieve it.”

”I see.” Lin Dong understood.

”Just focus on improving your alchemy experience, and I believe you will soon reach the level of a Five-Rank Alchemist, even faster than I did back then.”

Qin Feng patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, a habitual smile on his face as he spoke.

As he was speaking, suddenly, there was a knock on the door again.

This time, the person knocking was Hong Lian.

Upon entering, Hong Lian said to Qin Feng:

”Alliance Hierarch, there’s a group of people at the door saying they want to buy pills from the Alliance’s Uncle.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked towards Lin Dong.

At this moment, Lin Dong also recalled promising those people at the auction yesterday that he would be selling pills at the entrance of the Dan Alliance.

However, due to his retreat and meeting with Qin Feng, he had delayed this matter.

So he had not yet refined any pills.

Lin Dong relayed this matter to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, ”Then you should head over to the Alchemy Hall and refine some Essence Yuan Pills and Qi-Boosting Pills to sell to them.”

”As an important member of the Dan Alliance, you have to follow through on what you say. Otherwise, this will harm our Dan Alliance’s reputation in Nanyang’s World of Martial Arts and the wealthy circle.”

Lin Dong nodded, ”Alright, Alliance Hierarch, I’ll leave now.”

With that, he headed towards the main gate of the Medicine King Palace.

At this moment, a crowd had gathered at the entrance of the Dan Alliance.

Most of these were people who participated in the auction yesterday.

They were either martial artists or well-known tycoons in the Southborne, individuals with notable status in the outer world.

At this moment, they were all speaking out, saying, ”What’s going on? Why does the Dan Alliance’s Uncle speak as if he’s farting? He told us to come to the entrance of the Dan Alliance to buy pills from him, but now we can’t find him anywhere?”

”This is absurd. I’ve been waiting for him here for over an hour. And you say he’s unavailable now.”

”It seems those pills at the auction weren’t even refined by him. They must have been made by the Alliance Hierarch, rewarded to him as his quasi-brother-in-law, and he just auctioned them off.”

”Originally, this wasn’t an issue, but the Alliance’s Uncle acted so pretentious, claiming that he refined these pills himself. He even shamelessly said he would refine more today to sell to us, and now he’s nowhere to be found. It’s like he’s treating us as fools.”

”...”

The emotions of these people were somewhat agitated.

Moreover, among them, several friends of the Luo Xing family were adding fuel to the fire, causing these people to be filled with resentment towards Lin Dong for a while.

Some even directly cursed at him.

”What a worthless person. I won’t do business with him anymore.”

”No, I won’t even do business with the entire Dan Alliance. If the so-called Alliance Uncle can’t keep his word, can the Dan Alliance still be considered credible?”

”This is an utter waste of time.”

”...”

Among them, a few were specifically sent by Luo Xing.

Luo Xing did not come to the Dan Alliance’s entrance today. He had just issued a life-death duel letter to Lin Dong yesterday, worried that if he came to the Dan Alliance, Qin Feng might pressure him to cancel the duel.

Hence, to prevent this from happening, he did not come. Instead, he was recuperating in the hotel, preparing to go directly to the life-death stage three days later and defeat the Dan Alliance’s Uncle in front of everyone!

However, he also wanted to know whether those pills from yesterday were indeed refined by Lin Dong personally.

So, although he didn’t come himself, he dispatched a few rich young men from Medicine City to go over.

The leader among them was named Janus, a young tycoon from Nanyang with close business dealings with the Luo family.

Yesterday, when Luo Xing auctioned off the Qi-Boosting Pill from Lin Dong, he didn’t have enough money and got over ten wealthy young men to pool funds. Janus was one of them and contributed the most money.

At this moment, he was the loudest shouter.

”The Alliance Uncle must be hiding because he can’t refine pills, and the Dan Alliance Hierarch is unwilling to continue giving him pills, so he can’t produce any and thus went into hiding,” Janus shouted loudly.

His words immediately garnered widespread agreement from the crowd.

”Damn it, this Alliance Uncle can’t practice alchemy and still acts pretentious, claiming that he refined these pills himself.”

”Such pretentiousness is truly disgusting!”

”Pretending is one thing, but to lead us on, specifically telling us to come here to buy pills? I had to postpone several billion-dollar projects because of this.”

”From now on, I’ll blacklist him from my connections, regardless of whether he’s the Alliance Uncle.”

”...”

This group, under the rally of Janus and a few others, had come to despise Lin Dong. Many harsh words were spoken.

Janus, seeing this, curved a smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Everyone, if you’re looking to purchase pills, why not come to me and Young Master Luo Xing, Luo Shao?”

”We have a hundred top-quality Essence Yuan Pills, as well as fifty extremely good Qi-Boosting Pills.”

When he said this, someone asked, ”How much for one?”

There were still people who did not grab any pills yesterday, which is why they came today. Now that Lin Dong has ’failed to keep his promise,’ they naturally wanted to find other avenues for purchase.

Janus and Luo Xing had this plan. If Lin Dong couldn’t produce pills, they would sell those auctioned at high prices yesterday on the spot.

The price had to be higher than what they paid yesterday; otherwise, they wouldn’t profit.

Janus, repeating Luo Xing’s instructions, said, ”Three billion for one Essence Yuan Pill, and twenty billion for one Qi-Boosting Pill.”

”Pfft!” With this statement, everyone almost spat blood.

”What the hell, this expensive? Are they slaughtering pigs?” A Dragon Country Warrior directly cursed out.

Others didn’t curse as directly but also felt it was exorbitantly priced.

The Essence Yuan Pill price was tripled.

The Qi-Boosting Pill price was also doubled.

The price was indeed sky-high.

At this moment, Ninth Miss Chen Yu addressed everyone:

”Everyone, why not wait a little longer? Perhaps the Alliance’s Uncle is genuinely occupied.””

”Once he’s out, we can ask him personally. There’s no need to rush to buy at several times the price.”

She had also come today.

Of course, she wasn’t here to buy pills but to ascertain whether the Alliance’s Uncle could truly practice alchemy, which would determine their long-term collaboration.

Third Master Chen Bo had also come, seeking to confirm whether the Alliance’s Uncle could indeed perform alchemy.

At this moment, upon hearing Ninth Sister Chen Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but say:

Ninth Sister, at this point, do you still think the Alliance’s Uncle can refine the highest quality Essence Yuan Pills and extremely good Qi-Boosting Pills?”

Even Ninth Miss Chen Yu wasn’t confident.

Because, in the entire Dan Alliance, only the Alliance Hierarch Qin Feng had managed to refine the highest quality Essence Yuan Pills and that grade of Qi-Boosting Pills before.

And the Alliance’s Uncle, being even younger than him, could he genuinely achieve it?

But just at this moment, a figure came rushing out from the Medicine King Palace.

Upon seeing that figure, Ninth Miss Chen Yu, along with those still hopeful, had their eyes light up.

”The Alliance Uncle is here!”

No one knew who shouted it.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned towards that figure.
