Chapter 284

Zhican Valley, in a certain attic for storing pills, on the first floor lobby, Qin Ran was sitting calmly to one side, holding a cup of tea in his hand, gently blowing the tea leaves.

The tea was sent by Elder Sun, and like the sobering soup this morning, it contained poison. He drank it very happily.

Meanwhile, Elder Sun was standing to the side, glaring with anger written all over his face.

However, it was unclear what he was angry about. Was he angry that his disciples had made a mistake? Or that important guests from Dao Sword Sect were slighted? Or that Qin Ran had dared to say the pills had issues? Or that this task had not been completed?

So it could be said, those who understood, understood.

Elder Sun had already arranged for people to go replace the problematic pills and medicinal ingredients.

He calculated silently in his heart. The market price of a low-grade flawed Gathering Original Pill was 70-90 low-grade Spirit Stones. A qualified low-grade Gathering Original Pill was 110-120 low-grade Spirit Stones. A mid-grade Gathering Original Pill was around 300. A top-grade Gathering Original Pill was 500 and up.

Originally, he could have sold large quantities of flawed Gathering Original Pills to Dao Sword Sect, but now he had to replace all these flawed Gathering Original Pills with low-, mid- and even top-grade Gathering Original Pills.

So with this transaction, the Spirit Stones he lost could be counted in the tens of thousands.

Elder Sun's heart was bleeding! As he pretended to be angry, occasionally the look he gave Qin Ran already revealed killing intent.

It didn't take long, perhaps Elder Sun had made preparations already, and his disciples brought new pills and medicinal ingredients. Qin Ran carefully examined them one by one, and finally confirmed there were no mistakes.

Facing Elder Sun's smiling dagger-behind-a-smile expression, his elegant face revealed a shy smile, and he said, "I've made Elder laugh. This is my first time doing something like this, sometimes I may be offensive, I hope Elder can be magnanimous about it."

He even sighed exaggeratedly, "Alas! I was afraid there might be mistakes."

Elder Sun replied, "Of course, of course. Us Elders do it all for our disciples, it's not easy on anyone. Elder Qin is exceptionally responsible!"

"You flatter me!" Qin Ran said modestly.

He took out a temporary Universe Bag, and after some quick calculations, took out some Spirit Stones. He handed the entire Universe Bag to Elder Sun, and said, "The Spirit Stones are all in here, Elder please calculate if the amount is correct."

Elder Sun accepted the Spirit Stones, and said, "Do I still not trust Elder Qin? What's there to check!"

"Elder knows kindness..."

As the two spoke, they unwittingly approached the Zhican Valley disciple concocting pills.

Today's alchemist was using fire techniques to refine a common Foundation Establishment Pill.

He could be seen controlling his own flames, activating the public alchemy furnace in the plaza, skillfully pouring prepared ingredients into the furnace, then covering the furnace and concentrating on controlling the flames...

"His fundamentals are great!" Qin Ran praised.

"Just an ordinary disciple." Elder Sun said modestly.

Just then, someone in the crowd gossiped, "It's got to be a direct disciple of an inner sect Elder, this pill concocting technique is almost dao manifestation realm..."

And so Qin Ran and Elder Sun were rendered speechless for a time.

As the disciple nurtured the pill, suddenly, Qin Ran sensed an icy gaze. He hurriedly looked up to trace the origin of the gaze, and saw two sword scars slicing across the clouds in the sky.

That was from supreme sword cultivators riding their swords in flight.

Qin Ran's heart sank. He followed the sword scars and looked towards the depths of Zhican Valley, where two familiar black and red figures disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

"Boundless Sword Sect!!!" His memory was excellent. Just from the two back views, he recognized the visitors. That man in black had argued with him when competing for the Dao Fruits after the death of the Devouring Demon Willow.

"What are people from Boundless Sword Sect doing at Zhican Valley at this time?"

Perhaps realizing Qin Ran had discovered the people from Boundless Sword Sect, Elder Sun smiled and said, "People from Boundless Sword Sect come to exchange knowledge and buy pills too."

Despite Zhican Valley having many alchemists, was it possible they would have two major sects come to purchase pills on the same day?

Qin Ran knew what was going on.

He nodded at Elder Sun and said, "I see, so that's how it is... Those two are old friends of mine."

After watching the disciple concoct pills, the group continued outwards. Not long later, Elder Sun's disciple brought the spiritual herbs and ingredients Qin Ran had requested.
