Chapter 448: Worthless

Although Jiang Yun had given enough magical stones, the middle-aged man still looked a bit impatient as he reluctantly took the Reaching-Sky Pill.

For people in business, both eyes can be very sharp.

From Jiang Yun’s clothes, age, and the tired look on his face, he was certain that Jiang Yun was just a poor cultivator.

Not only did he lack powerful connections, but he might also be struggling financially and unable to afford training, which is why he was selling a pill.

No matter how good the pill was, he deliberately made things difficult because of it.

However, when he saw the appearance of the pill, his pupils suddenly shrank and his heart skipped a beat.

Just by the look of it, the quality of this pill was quite outstanding.

He then placed the pill near his nose, and immediately a fragrant scent filled the air, causing him to take a sharp breath.

Although he tried to control his reaction and not look too surprised, he couldn’t help but feel amazed, making the muscles on his cheeks twitch slightly.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were all focused on his face, some sharp-eyed people naturally noticed the subtle changes in his expression.

Immediately, everyone’s curiosity surged, and they all asked, "What kind of pill is this, and how effective is it?"

"Can you give us an explanation and broaden our horizons!"

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, calmly watched the other person.

From the actions of the other person after taking the pill, he could easily tell that the other person really understood medicine, so he would definitely recognize this Reaching-Sky Pill.

Now, let’s see how he plans to evaluate this pill.

As for whether the other person would pretend not to know, or deliberately give the wrong answer to avoid refunding the one thousand spiritual stones, Jiang Yun was not worried at all.

In fact, that would suit his intentions perfectly.

A family famous for alchemy didn’t even recognize the Reaching-Sky Pill. In front of so many people, the Qian family’s reputation was completely ruined.

However, Jiang Yun rudely said, "Don’t you recognize this pill? If you don’t, don’t force it. Get your Qian family’s top pharmacist out, I’ll cover the cost!"

Although knowing that Jiang Yun was teasing on purpose to retaliate for the difficulty he had faced earlier, the middle-aged man was truly conflicted at that moment.

He recognized it as the Reaching-Sky Pill, but its effect surpassed all Reaching-Sky Pills he had seen before, making him uncertain of its quality.

Besides, he was reluctant to admit that a destitute man’s pill could outperform those sold by his own family.

However, if he claimed ignorance, as Jiang Yun suspected, it would tarnish his reputation.

After giving Jiang Yun a cold glare, the middle-aged man finally spoke, "I have identified this pill as the Reaching-Sky Pill!"

Pausing, he continued, "Moreover, it is at least Earth level. If you want to sell it, five thousand low-grade spirit stones, we, the Qian family, will take it!"

The whole room fell silent upon hearing this.

In the Ancient Grand Desolate World, pills were also categorized into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Human, and Mortal.

Earth level pills are very rare.

Even among so many people present, very few have seen Earth level pills.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes focused on the Reaching-Sky Pill, with shimmering light in their eyes.

Although the cultivation realms are different in this world compared to the Mountain-Sea World, cultivators still need to develop Blessed Lands and caves, making the Reaching-Sky Pill extremely important.

A Earth level Reaching-Sky Pill increases the possibility of creating a cave, making it a sought-after item for peak cultivators in the Blessed Land Realm.

However, upon hearing the other person’s answer, Jiang Yun frowned because he could tell they were telling the truth, but he realized his assessment was off.

Even though the lowest-grade Reaching-Sky Pill on him is Heaven Level, the other person thought it was only Earth level.

Perhaps, the other person had never seen a higher-grade Reaching-Sky Pill and doubted that Jiang Yun’s pill could reach Heaven Level, so they labeled it as Earth level.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun smiled and asked, "You mentioned bringing a higher-level pharmacist for appraisal, how many spiritual stones would that cost?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the middle-aged man’s face darkened and he looked displeased as he said, "Does my taoist friend not trust my judgment? This Reaching-Sky Pill, while its effects are extraordinary, is only at the Earth level at best."

Jiang Yun shook his head with a smile, reached out to take the Reaching-Sky Pill from the man, but the man quickly pulled back his hand and said, "Wait, let me find someone else for you!"

This time, he unusually did not mention any cost.

Clearly, the value of this pill far exceeded any other usual cost, to the extent that he was determined to keep the pill in the Qian family.

After speaking, he went to whisper something to a young man nearby, who then hurriedly left and ascended the stairs.

Just a moment later, the young man returned with an elderly man with gray hair, pointed at Jiang Yun, and the elderly man also looked displeased as he said, "If the medicine disappoints me, I will make sure you regret it!"

While speaking, the elderly man walked past Jiang Yun without even looking at him, went directly to the middle-aged man, and took the Reaching-Sky Pill from his hand.

"Uncle, this…"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, the elderly man gave him a stern look that made him close his mouth and refrain from speaking further.

After glancing at the Reaching-Sky Pill, the old man’s displeasure instantly disappeared from his face.

After examining and smelling it, he carefully scratched off some of the medicine powder with his fingernail and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it a bit, the old man’s eyes sparkled, and then he finally turned to Jiang Yun and asked, "Is this pill that you brought to sell to us?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, my taoist friend, please follow me!"

After saying that, the old man immediately turned and walked towards the stairs.

Apparently, he had already recognized the value of this pill, but he didn’t want to discuss the price with Jiang Yun in public, as it would affect their Qian family’s pill business.

Other people would surely follow the old man upstairs, but Jiang Yun came looking for trouble, so he smiled slightly and said, "No need to go upstairs, just tell me how many spiritual stones you are willing to spend to buy this pill!"

Jiang Yun’s words made the old man, who had already started up the stairs, suddenly stop and turn around, looking at Jiang Yun with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

But then, he coldly chuckled and said, "I asked you to come upstairs to talk to give you face. Since you don’t want to come up, I won’t force you. This pill is worthless, take it and leave!"

With those words, the old man suddenly raised his hand and threw the pill towards Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun’s eyes flashed with cold light, he didn’t even reach out to take it. He let the pill fall to the ground and roll to his feet.

Without even looking, Jiang Yun could tell that the pill on the ground was no longer his Reaching-Sky Pill.

In order to swallow the pill and protect his family business, the old man had slyly switched the pill while turning around.
