Over there, the Samadhi Real Fire was still burning enthusiastically under the alchemy furnace…
Even Chu Mo, the complete novice, could tell something was wrong, and he rolled his eyes, cursing, "The elixir is already refined, what in the hell are you still burning for?"
Samadhi Real Fire seemed to sense something was off and its once vigorous flames wilted, awkwardly retreating back into Chu Mo's elixir field.
When Chu Mo looked inside his elixir field, he could not find any trace of it. With a sense of wonder, he didn't bother to track it down, as it appeared he managed to tame this tiny cluster of fire, despite the inexplicable process.
At that moment, Chu Mo gathered the thirteen perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills and felt a little puzzled in his heart.
"Emperor Feng Chun said he gave me the materials to refine a hundred perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills, and wanted thirty in return."
"This means that in his eyes, thirty out of a hundred pills are a profitable return for Lingdan Hall…it's quite a windfall…"
Chu Mo muttered to himself. Lately, he hadn't been shy about researching the knowledge on the message board.
These notions may be optional for others, but to Chu Mo, they possessed an incalculable value.
In Feng Chun Emperor's eyes, he was generous to provide Chu Mo with the ingredients for refining a hundred perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills. However, for master alchemists, crafting an ordinary Heavenly Primordial Pill was not difficult. But to craft a perfect one, with success rates of only three in ten... could only be accomplished by a grandmaster!
So, giving these elixir ingredients to Chu Mo was like setting a trap…although not a particularly deep one.
The main purpose was to test the skill level of the man behind Chu Mo!
Indeed, as long as Chu Mo could deliver over twenty perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills by the agreed date, Feng Chun Emperor would be delighted.
And he would guarantee that he treats him, a guest alchemist of Lingdan Hall, with respect and courtesy in the future.
Of course, the respect is not for him specifically, but for the nonexistent…master behind him.
It's the reason why Chu Mo contemplated giving just thirty Heavenly Primordial Pills to Feng Chun Emperor, preferring to keep the rest on hand for emergencies.
However, the surprise Chu Mo got from the Chaos Furnace was a bit too big!
He had just used enough materials to refine ten pills, but instead he got thirteen!
"Doesn't that mean that these ingredients can actually make…at least a hundred and thirty pills?" Having some knowledge about the price of a perfect Heavenly Primordial Pill, Chu Mo couldn't help but gasp.
As long as he continues to trade with Lingdan Hall, it won't take long before his net worth becomes an astronomical figure!
Previously, he was somewhat worried about his identity as Lin Bai being exposed and triggering the Shangguan Family's vendetta. But, if things proceed , even if his identity as Lin Bai is exposed, he doesn't need to worry about the Shangguan Family's retaliation!
Even without Lingdan Hall coming forward, he himself would have enough means to protect himself!
Chu Mo let out a long breath, gazing at the still suspended Chaos Furnace.
Only now did Chu Mo first begin to grasp what the divine artifacts he possessed signified.
Next, Chu Mo mustered his energy and refined all the Heavenly Primordial Pills in one go.
Moreover, as his mastery of the fire controlling mnemonic became progressively adept, his control over the Samadhi Real Fire became more natural. He even managed to refine fourteen or fifteen perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills at times!
In the end, Chu Mo tallied up. The ingredients, which Emperor Feng Chun initially considered could be used to refine a hundred perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills, actually yielded a whopping one hundred and thirty-eight perfect pills!
This result made Chu Mo's heart surge with excitement.
In the end, he forced himself to calm down.
Collecting the excited Samadhi Real Fire back into the elixir field, Chu Mo then began to ponder in stillness.
"As for Lingdan Hall, if I give them thirty pills, it will completely fulfil their expectations... No, even a bit more!"
"However, Emperor Feng Chun asked for thirty. If I just give him thirty... it seems like I am not sincere enough."
In Chu Mo's eyes, a glimmer of contemplation flickered. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and muttered, "The Shangguan Family is a nuisance, but not a big one. I can handle it on my own. But the trouble with Xiaoyu…might be bigger! At some point, I'll need to face that problem head-on. If Lingdan Hall stood by me at that time ... my chances of winning would be much higher."
"So, to truly make an impact on Lingdan Hall, thirty…far from enough!"
Chu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, a firm determination flashed in his eyes.
On the appointed day, Feng Chun Emperor arrived early at the Lingdan Hall in the Human Layer of the Illusionary God Realm.
As the Realm Spirit said, some people always find a way to freely traverse the Heaven, Earth, and Human tri-layer spaces.
For example, Feng Chun Emperor.
Of course, Feng Chun Emperor's unrestricted access was mainly due to his status.
The Illusionary God Realm and Lingdan Hall have a cooperative relationship. So, bearing a pass token, Feng Chun was allowed traverse in and out of the tri-layer space.
Needless to say, it was a creation of the Realm Spirit.
This time, Feng Chun Emperor didn't come alone. Beside him was a beautiful young woman.
The woman appeared about twenty years old, with a complexion like jade, a pair of phoenix eyes commanding attention, and an air of innocence that was irresistibly attractive.
"Ninth Uncle, can we really rely on the person you mentioned? You actually gave him enough materials to refine a hundred perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills all at once… what if he disappears? Our loss…it won't be trivial, will it?" The woman spoke in a charming voice, resembling the sound of pearls dropping on a jade plate.
With a doting glance at the young woman, Feng Chun replied, "Girl, these are materials for a hundred Heavenly Primordial Pills. Is the loss that significant?"
"My God...Ninth Uncle, you are an emperor! It's nothing to you, but for others, it's wealth enough to betray their own family, you know?" The woman rolled her eyes at Feng Chun, and then murmured, "If the guy doesn't show up, where will your old face be…"
"Ha ha ha, my girl....do you want to make a bet?" Feng Chun Emperor responded with a hearty laughter, looking at the girl, "If he doesn't show up, I'll lose something to you, but if he does, you have to promise me one thing!"
With her pure phoenix eyes wide open, the woman stared at Feng Chun Emperor, "Are you so certain?"
"Just tell me if we are betting or not?" Feng Chun Emperor smiled lightly.
"Humph. I know you aren't giving up. You're always trying to marry me off!" the woman pouted, "I'm not going to walk into your trap!" (To be continued. If you work, feel free to cast a recommendation vote at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
