Chapter 274: Chapter 273: Exchange

In the Medicine Tower, on the 28th floor.

Xiao Yi memorized three Peak Seventh-grade Incomplete Pill Recipes.

He had just been about to start the furnace for refining medicine.

When suddenly, a figure appeared before him.

It was none other than Elder Mu.

”Boy, stop what you’re doing,” Elder Mu said urgently.

”Huh?” Xiao Yi showed a puzzled expression.

”I remember, the three days aren’t up yet, are they?”

”They’re not,” Elder Mu replied, ”But if we let you continue,”

”All the treasures of Medicine King Valley would end up in your hands.”

Xiao Yi chuckled awkwardly, ”I’ve only taken five things, Medicine King Valley can’t be that stingy, right?”

”It’s five things from each floor,” Elder Mu grumbled with a scowl.

”And every single one is the best of its kind.”

”It’s not that we are stingy, but...”

Elder Mu paused, then said, ”Forget it, we can talk about that later.”

”First, give back the Thunder Attraction Wood.”

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi was taken aback.

”Hmm what?” Elder Mu said irritably, ”You sure are ruthless.”

”There are only four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood in the entirety of Medicine King Valley, and you took them all at once.”

Before coming to the 28th floor, Elder Mu had specifically visited the 27th floor.

When he saw that all four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood were gone, he nearly lost it.

Xiao Yi frowned, ”According to the rules of the Alchemy Competition, this should be my reward, right?”

”Moreover, just four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood,”

”Managed to bring Elder Mu himself to retrieve them?”

Xiao Yi felt puzzled.

Elder Mu was, after all, one of the most powerful alchemists in the Flame Martial Kingdom.

Medicine King Valley was the holy land of alchemy.

Thunder Attraction Wood, while precious,

Was not worth them ruining their reputation and breaking the rules to come and reclaim it.

Elder Mu answered, ”At any other time, once given the Thunder Attraction Wood would be yours to keep.”

”But now, these four pieces are of great importance to Medicine King Valley.”

”You cannot take them away.”

Xiao Yi frowned, ”If it’s so important, why was it placed on the 27th floor?”

Elder Mu shrugged and said, ”Though the Thunder Attraction Wood doesn’t have a grade,”

”If we really had to quantify its value, it’s similar to the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the 27th floor.”

”So it was placed there.”

”We were sure no one could get past the 25th floor.”

”After all, you’re all young people, and your refining grades can’t be that high.”

”But we didn’t expect a monster like you to emerge.”

”So young, yet your alchemy skills are no less than us old folks.”

”Even reaching the 28th floor.”

At this point, Elder Mu gave a bitter smile, ”Boy, give me some face.”

”How about returning the Thunder Attraction Wood?”

”No,” Xiao Yi shook his head.

Elder Mu’s voice deepened, ”Boy, I’m not trying to scare you, nor am I threatening you.”

”If you don’t return the Thunder Attraction Wood,”

”You won’t leave Medicine King Valley alive.”

”Heh,” Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, ”Yi Xiao would like to see if Medicine King Valley can really hold me captive.”

Xiao Yi hated being threatened.

”You...” Elder Mu said angrily, ”What will it take for you to return them?”

Xiao Yi spoke calmly, ”The Thunder Attraction Wood is mine now.”

”It’s impossible for me to sell it back to you.”

”Sell?” Elder Mu’s face turned sour with discontent.

The Thunder Attraction Wood was originally theirs.

Now to have to buy it back, what did this signify?

But he was relieved, too.

Yi Xiao was, after all, the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall.

And the Main Hall of the Demon Hunting Hall was within the Royal Capital.

If Yi Xiao held onto his ’reason’,

Medicine King Valley wouldn’t be able to forcefully retrieve the Thunder Attraction Wood through martial might.

In fact, Yi Xiao wasn’t wrong.

Now that Yi Xiao was willing to sell it back to Medicine King Valley, it was already a big concession.

”Name your price,” Elder Mu said sternly.

Xiao Yi smiled, ”I wouldn’t want to trouble Elder Mu.”

”Money and such are a bit mundane for us martial artists.”

”Why not barter?”

”One piece of Thunder Attraction Wood for twenty thousand Level 6 Demon Beast Cores.”

Elder Mu’s eyes widened, ”Twenty thousand Level 6 Demon Beast Cores for just one piece?”

”Wouldn’t that be eighty thousand for all four pieces?”

”Boy, you’re asking for the sky!”

Xiao Yi shrugged, ”Whether to swap or not, it’s up to Elder Mu to decide.”

”I’m sure, if I were to sell them at the Sky-reaching Tower, the price would be even higher.”

Level 6 Demon Beast Cores might fetch a high price at the Sky-reaching Tower,

But their real value wasn’t that exorbitant,

It was only Xiao Yi who urgently needed these cores.

For anyone else, twenty thousand Level 6 Demon Beast Cores wouldn’t hope to be exchanged for a piece of Thunder Attraction Wood.

Biting his teeth, Elder Mu said, ”Fine, it’s a deal, you really drive a hard bargain, kid.”

In reality, Elder Mu also understood the value at stake.

If Yi Xiao didn’t sell him this face, a piece of Thunder Attraction Wood would be worth far more than just some Level 6 Demon Beast Cores.

”Kid, return the Thunder Attraction Wood,” Elder Mu said.

”Within ten days, I will gather the eighty thousand Level 6 Demon Beast Cores for you.”

”Ten days?” Xiao Yi frowned.

”Medicine King Valley is an Alchemy Holy Land; there should be plenty of materials.”

”80,000 Level 6 inner cores should only be a trifle for you.”

Elder Mu replied, ”You know that Medicine King Valley is an Alchemy Holy Land.”

”How numerous are the alchemists within the valley.”

”The materials consumed daily are astronomical in number.”

”80,000 Level 6 demon beast cores can naturally be provided.”

”But, if they were all given to you at once,”

”the elders, deacons, and disciples of our Medicine King Valley would be unable to refine elixirs for a good many days.”

Elder Mu asked with a hint of doubt, ”What, just a mere ten days, and you can’t even wait?”

Xiao Yi’s brow tightened.

He was willing to exchange because even though the Thunder Attraction Wood was precious,

it was not of great use to him.

On the contrary, the demon beast cores could be used to refine pure elixirs.

Their use was greater.

But, in two days’ time, the opening day of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect would arrive.

He could not wait for ten days.

”Oh, right,” Elder Mu suddenly said, ”you’re a Demon Hunter.”

”You probably can’t stay in one place for long, needing to roam around to complete tasks, right?”

”Mm.” Xiao Yi nodded.

He had already gotten used to being misunderstood.

And there were always those who would automatically offer him a seemingly logical ’explanation’.

”Let’s do this,” Elder Mu suddenly proposed.

”The Level 6 inner cores I can give you all at once are only about 20,000.”

”For the remaining three, how about we exchange with other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?”

”Thunder Attraction Wood comes from the 27th floor.”

”You can go back to the 27th floor and choose any five items as an exchange for one piece of Thunder Attraction Wood.”

One piece of Thunder Attraction Wood in exchange for five items from the 27th floor.

For three pieces, that would be fifteen items.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow in thought for a moment.

After a while, Xiao Yi nodded and said, ”Okay.”

Xiao Yi returned four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood.

Elder Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, looking towards Xiao Yi, he said with exasperation, ”Kid, if I’m not mistaken,”

”Thunder Attraction Wood is of no use to you at all.”

”Previously, you pretended to be tough, simply aiming to gain more advantage.”

”Heh.” Xiao Yi gave a faint smile.

Elder Mu shook his head helplessly, ”You, young man, are so clever despite your tender age.”

”I really wonder where you learned all this from.”

Xiao Yi smiled and said, ”Yi Xiao is a Demon Hunter, wandering through dangerous places in the world.”

”The outside world is full of danger.”

”If Yi Xiao wasn’t shrewd, would he still be alive today?”

Xiao Yi had only intended to make a light comment.

Unexpectedly, Elder Mu took it seriously and nodded, ”Indeed.”

”Later, I will order someone to bring the Level 6 demon beast cores to you.”

”Now, go down to the 27th floor to choose items.”

”Choose and then leave.”

”Leave?” Xiao Yi was taken aback, ”Can’t I continue to ascend the tower?”

Elder Mu shook his head, ”You still covet the treasures of the higher floors.”

”But it’s not that our Medicine King Valley is stingy.”

”Rather, these rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are intended to motivate the younger generation of alchemists.”

”You are meant to strive to ascend.”

”Now all the other competitors are stuck, and you are the only one still climbing.”

”What’s the point?”

”Without competition, where’s the motivation?”

”Just declare you the first-place winner.”

Xiao Yi nodded, expressing his regret, ”I had hoped to reach the peak of Medicine Tower, but now it seems there is no chance.”

Of course, Xiao Yi didn’t actually have much regret; he was just saying so.

Because, at the 28th floor already,

a peak of Seventh-grade pill recipe had appeared.

If he went higher, arriving at the top of the tower, he might encounter an Eighth-grade pill formula.

For someone of his age, possessing the level of a Seventh-grade Alchemist was already quite shocking.

But, he had once slain the Old Monster Youshui.

People thought him to be of the Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation.

A Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist with the level of a Seventh-grade alchemist was still somewhat acceptable.

But, if he had the level of an Eighth-grade Alchemist,

this would not just be a matter of shock.

Many would certainly take an interest in him.

If he really had that ability, that would be another matter.

But this was just the capability bestowed by the Ice Phoenix Sword; and also, his real cultivation was not strong.

Before he possessed sufficient strength, it was better not to attract these unnecessary troubles.

This was what Xiao Yi was thinking.

All of a sudden, Elder Mu said,

”Kid, if you want to reach the peak of Medicine Tower, you can continue to climb next time.”

”Next time?” Xiao Yi showed a puzzled expression.

”Mm, next time, and it won’t be long,” Elder Mu said with a smile.

...
