Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Elder Ling’s eyes flashed with brilliance. The Green Sun Pill had the effect of purging the impurities from the meridians; such a Pill would be highly sought after no matter where it was placed.
As for the Youth Pill, just as Mo Wangchen had said, if mass-produced, it would not be valuable. It had to be sold using a strategy similar to scarcity marketing.
An auction would naturally be the best choice, where an occasional Youth Pill could be placed for bidding. This miraculous Pill that could preserve youth would undoubtedly cause a great sensation!
However, after the initial joy, Elder Ling quickly restrained his smile and gave a light cough. "Youngster, aren’t you asking for too much? You want seventy percent of the earnings from the Green Sun Pill, doesn’t that make the Alliance suffer?"
"Seventy percent, non-negotiable,"
Mo Wangchen replied nonchalantly, "I believe Elder Ling has already seen the ingredients needed for the Green Sun Pill. They’re not particularly High Level, and you should have an idea of the pill’s value. Taking seventy percent, the Alliance would still earn."
Soon, after the agreement, Lin Feng came directly with pen and paper. In front of Elder Ling and others, he wrote down a detailed alchemy recipe for the Green Sun Pill.
"As for the Youth Pill, let’s auction the one I previously refined first. If it proves successful, Elder Ling could occasionally send some materials to the Academy. After refining, I’ll hand it over to the Alliance."
Saying this, Mo Wangchen handed the alchemy recipe for the Green Sun Pill to Elder Ling.
He then retrieved the Green Sun Pill he had previously refined from Elder Ling, and subsequently, he departed with Elder Chen.
"Alliance Hierarch, is this young man’s alchemy recipe trustworthy?"
After Mo Wangchen left, Vice Alliance Hierarch Ding Hua approached and quietly inquired.
After all, the effects of the Green Sun Pill had only been described by Mo Wangchen, and no one knew if it truly worked.
"Haha, rest assured, I trust the recipe he provided. If you meet the young man in the future, it’s best to be polite. He’s not as simple as he appears," Elder Ling chuckled and said.
Ding Hua seemed even more perplexed. It was his first time meeting Mo Wangchen today, and he didn’t know when Elder Ling had met him, nor why their relationship was so good that Elder Ling regarded him so highly!
"I’ll share a secret with you, but keep it to yourself."
Elder Ling suddenly smiled mysteriously and looked at Ding Hua. "You know about the Fire Poison in Wan Quan’s body, right?"
Hearing this, Ding Hua nodded. Wan Quan was on good terms with Elder Ling; this wasn’t an unknown secret. "I’ve heard that his complexion has noticeably improved these past few days..."
As he spoke, a sudden realization struck Ding Hua, and he looked at Elder Ling in surprise, "Alliance Hierarch, do you mean the Fire Poison in the Wan Family Head’s body is cured because of Mo Wangchen?!"
Elder Ling chuckled without responding, but his expression spoke for itself.
Ding Hua drew a sharp breath. Fire Poison was a fatal nemesis to both Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners. Once afflicted, it was incredibly troublesome, and in the current Tian Nan Continent, no one had ever heard of anything that could suppress Fire Poison.
"Elder Chen, I hope you don’t spread what happened just now."
As they descended to the fifth floor, Mo Wangchen glanced at Elder Chen, who followed beside him, and smiled.
"Rest assured, Master Mo, I understand completely!" Elder Chen nodded emphatically. After learning about his relationship with the Alliance Hierarch, Elder Chen became markedly more respectful in both speech and demeanor.
Soon, the two returned to the hall on the fourth floor.
"I wonder if Mo Wangchen was punished?"
"Obviously, participating in the Third Rank assessment with First and Second Rank Pills. If not punished, how will the Alliance command respect?"
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Mo Wangchen and Elder Chen returned to the rest area.
"Elder Chen, what was the result of the assessment..."
Luo Tian stood up from his seat, cast a disdainful glance at Mo Wangchen, then respectfully cupped his hands and smiled at Elder Chen, his demeanor rather courteous.
Despite Elder Chen being just a Third Rank Alchemist, he held a significant position as an Alchemist at the Alliance Headquarters and was also an Elder. Even if Luo Tian successfully became a Third Rank Alchemist, he wouldn’t dare offend him.
"Let me announce it." Elder Chen glanced at Luo Tian and said indifferently.
Earlier, Elder Chen had clearly noted that Luo Tian had been mocking and ridiculing Mo Wangchen. Such a demeanor was unsuitable, while Mo Wangchen’s three Pills in the assessment had been personally verified by Elder Ling to be Third Rank without a doubt.
Considering Mo Wangchen’s relationship with Elder Ling, ignoring Luo Tian’s sarcasm showed that Mo Wangchen genuinely couldn’t be bothered to stoop to such antics.
Seeing Elder Chen’s lukewarm response to him, Luo Tian was taken aback but didn’t think much of it.
Soon, Elder Chen walked to the front of the crowd and, after clearing his throat, announced loudly, "The Third Rank Alchemist assessment has concluded. A total of five participants passed the assessment. I will now announce their rankings!"
Hearing Elder Chen’s words, everyone was momentarily stunned. "Master Lin Qing, Su Ye, and Xue Zheng, as well as Luo Tian, there should only be four. The others didn’t refine their Pills..."
Almost instantaneously, everyone’s eyes turned to Mo Wangchen.
"Did he pass the assessment too?"
"Were those three Pills earlier all Third Rank?!"
The crowd was filled with astonishment, murmuring amongst themselves.
Elder Chen slightly raised his hands, quieting the crowd. Then, he scanned the room, "Fifth place, Xue Zheng, with two Middle Rank and one Upper Rank Third Rank Pills!"
"Fourth place, Su Ye, also with two Middle Rank and one Upper Rank, but since he finished more quickly than Xue Zheng, he’s fourth!"
When announcing the third place, Elder Chen’s voice paused noticeably. The ranking list was provided by Elder Ling, and he hadn’t had a chance to review it earlier.
Now, upon seeing the name of the third-place individual, he was visibly stunned before continuing, "Third place, Luo Tian!"
"Luo Tian is only third?"
"How is that possible? He refined two Top Grade and one Absolute Grade..."
