Xia Yushan smiled bitterly and said, “This is my father, the head of the Qingyun Pavilion in Flowing Moon City and a first-class spiritual elixir master.”
Ye Wushuang gave a slight bow in greeting.
Xia Lei, realizing that his eagerness had made him seem impolite, quickly apologized, “Upon seeing Young Master Ye’s elixirs, I could tell they were extraordinary. As an elixir master myself, I got a bit too excited. My apologies…”
“It’s quite alright. Since that’s the case, Director Lei, please proceed with the appraisal,” Ye Wushuang replied.
“Very well…”
With that, the four of them moved to another room, where a table was laid out with the five types of elixirs.
Xia Lei extended a finger, gathering a wisp of spiritual energy. He carefully extracted a tiny thread from the elixirs, pooling it in his palm. After examining it closely for a while, he gently placed it on the tip of his tongue.
The Qi-Refining Pill!
The Bone-Forging Pill!
The Inner-Reserve Pill!
These three types of elixirs were quite beneficial for martial artists at the Body Refining stage. Not only were they common in Flowing Moon City, but they were also widely seen throughout the Qingyun Empire. The more common they were, the more elixir masters there were who could refine them, and as a result, the quality of these elixirs varied greatly.
After appraising the Qi-Refining Pill, Xia Lei moved on to the Bone-Forging Pill, and then the Inner-Reserve Pill. Once he had finished appraising all three, he stood there in silence for a moment.
“Father, what do you think?” Xia Yushan couldn’t help but ask. Her father was not usually a man who hesitated, so why was he silent after the appraisal?
At that moment, Xia Lei looked at Ye Wushuang with a solemn expression and said, “Young Master Ye, the Qi-Refining Pill typically sells for a hundred taels of silver each, the Bone-Forging Pill for three hundred taels, and the Inner-Reserve Pill is worth a thousand taels!”
“As for the Qi-Refining and Bone-Forging Pills you have refined, I am willing to purchase them at three times the price, and the Inner-Reserve Pills at twice the price. How does that sound?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yushan was stunned. Her father was actually offering to buy at a premium!
“Father… are you sure?” she asked.
A typical Qi-Refining Pill was worth a hundred taels of silver. Even when sold by their Qingyun Pavilion, it was only around a hundred and twenty taels. But if they bought at three times the price, that would be three hundred taels, and they would need to sell it for more than three hundred taels to make a profit. But who would spend over three hundred taels on a single Qi-Refining Pill?
“I am certain,” Xia Lei replied without hesitation.
Turning to Ye Wushuang again, he said sincerely, “Young Master Ye, if you don’t mind, I have the authority to offer you a position as a guest elixir master at our Qingyun Pavilion!”
“A guest elixir master?” Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
“A guest elixir master enjoys considerable freedom. Whenever you refine elixirs in the future, our Qingyun Pavilion will offer you a seventy percent discount on the purchase of medicinal materials. We will also have the first right to buy any elixirs you refine. Moreover, with the title of Qingyun Pavilion elixir master, you will be able to stay in any of our branches throughout the Qingyun Empire at any time. You won’t have to take on any significant responsibilities. How does that sound?”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang seemed to hesitate.
“Young Master Ye!” Seeing Ye Wushuang’s hesitation, Xia Lei added, “If you sell a sufficient quantity of elixirs to our Qingyun Pavilion, you can enhance your status as a guest elixir master within our organization. Moreover, our Qingyun Pavilion will assist you with many matters to a certain extent.”
Xia Lei knew Ye Wushuang’s current situation and was offering his utmost sincerity.
Xia Yushan, standing by, was still stunned.
Was it really necessary?
Just for three ordinary elixirs, did her father have to offer such favorable terms to invite Ye Wushuang?
Xu Qiuyuan, who had been listening, was also tempted. He smiled and said, “Director Xia Lei is truly a man of action. As far as I know, the Qingyun Pavilion is backed by the Qingyun Empire’s royal family. Given that the Qingyun Pavilion is often overshadowed by the Sacred Elixir Pavilion, it seems they are indeed eager for talented individuals.”
Xia Lei smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Ye Wushuang.
If Ye Wushuang could become a guest elixir master at the Qingyun Pavilion, not to mention other benefits, the Qingyun Pavilion would definitely gain the upper hand over the Sacred Elixir Pavilion within Flowing Moon City!
