Chapter 3825: Screwed himself over

The old geezer had initially been wearing an indifferent expression, but when he heard the words “Cauldron Heart Pill”, he instantly couldn’t sit still any longer.

Cauldron Heart Pill, what kind of good thing was that? The requirements for concoction were too high.

Just ask what alchemist could reach Four Cauldrons?

To say nothing of alchemists, just in terms of cultivators, how many could cultivate to Four Cauldrons? If this was placed in the case of alchemists, it was naturally even more pitifully

rare.

Furthermore, the Cauldron Heart Pill was the same as the Foundation Dissolution Pill, and both had the requirement of cultivation level. Those who could concoct it did not mean that they could concoct both.

These conditions added together naturally made the Cauldron Heart Pill incredibly valuable. It should be known that not only could this help Human Cauldrons and Earth Cauldrons cultivate a new Celestial Cauldron, it could also help Heaven Cauldrons, Four Cauldrons, Five Cauldrons and so on cultivate even more Celestial Cauldrons.

The significance… was incredibly shocking.

Just look, how many prodigies in the entire universe had cultivated Four Cauldrons or above? Even at the current Cauldron Forging Tier, there were only a thousand of them.

Such a large universe, and there were only a thousand? It was enough to prove how difficult it was to form Four Cauldrons, and how valuable they were. In that case, the value of the Cauldron Heart Pill would naturally be reflected.

Of course, the chances of Heaven Cauldrons, Four Cauldrons and the like being able to form more Celestial Cauldrons after ingesting the pill was pitifully small, but there was still an additional sliver of possibility after all. It was assured that any Cauldron Forging Tier prodigy would fight madly for this.

“Really?” The old geezer stared at Ling Han as if he wanted nothing more than to pounce over and rob Ling Han completely.

Ling Han smiled, and took out a pill bottle which he placed on the table. There were three Cauldron Heart Pills inside.

The old geezer hurriedly snatched it over. His speed was inhumanly fast, but when he uncorked the bottle, he was very careful, and his movements were extremely slow.

He sniffed lightly at the opening of the bottle, and poured out an alchemical pill for a closer look. A look of delight instantly appeared on his old face, and he hurriedly placed the alchemical pill back into the bottle. He closed the cork tightly to prevent the medicinal effects from dispersing.

“Not bad, this really is the Cauldron Heart Pill.” The old geezer was extremely satisfied. Now, no matter how he looked at Ling Han, he found him pleasing to the eye. “Brat, what’s your name?”

“This disciple is Ling Han.”

The old geezer nodded, “That’s a good name!”

What was so good about it?

Ling Han didn’t think that there was anything special about his name, but since the old geezer praised him like this, he would play along.

“I am Yan Dong.” The old geezer introduced himself. This was actually an honor, because if others came to hand in alchemical pills, he would not even bother to speak. He would directly collect alchemical pills and give them contribution points. He would not be introducing himself like he was doing now.

Thus, the guards at the side were naturally shocked, completely unable to believe their eyes and ears.

F***, Elder Yan had changed his personality?

“Lord Yan.” Ling Han clasped his hands in greeting.

The more Yan Dong looked at Ling Han, the more he liked him. He was all smiles, “According to the rules, the Cauldron Heart Pill is a Two Star Celestial level pill. No matter how extraordinary it is, it is still too low-grade. One pill is fifty contribution points. However, I will make the decision privately, and double that for you.”

This was really quite a lot. Three pills would be 300 contribution points, which was enough to send Ling Han to the first place of the current leaderboard of contribution points.

Obviously, Yan Dong was deliberately helping Ling Han.

Ling Han hurriedly clasped his hands and said, “Thank you for your concern, Lord Yan.”

The guard at the side hurriedly reminded, and said, “It’s Elder Yan!”

Yet Yan Dong waved his hand, “It doesn’t matter what the address is.”

This was also because of Ling Han. Otherwise, if it was any other person, he would have long since sent out a slap.

He looked at Ling Han and nodded, his expression filled with praise, “You were the one who concocted this Cauldron Heart Pill, right? I can smell that fresh medicinal fragrance.”

The fact that the old geezer had been allocated here meant that he was clearly someone who knew what he was doing.

Ling Han didn’t hide it, and said, “Yes. You really have good insight.”

Naturally, it would be a waste not to flatter him.

Yan Dong laughed loudly, appearing very happy. He deliberately circled around from behind the table and patted Ling Han’s shoulder, “I know that the Cauldron Heart Pill is extremely difficult to concoct, and the pill completion rate is very low, but I still hope that you can concoct more.”

Ling Han nodded earnestly, “All right.”

“Go on.” The old geezer’s gaze was practically benevolent to the extreme.

Ling Han felt slightly embarrassed, and said, “Elder Yan, actually, I still have more Cauldron Heart Pills to hand in.”

Er!

Yan Dong’s expression suddenly became a little stiff. He had just said that the Cauldron Heart Pill was difficult to concoct and had low pill completion rate, and you f****** said that there were even more? Sigh, this was a good thing, a good thing.

The old geezer paused for a moment before asking, “More?”

“En.” Ling Han took out another bottle of Cauldron Heart Pills and placed it on the table. However, before Yan Dong could reach over to take it, he took out a third bottle.

F***!

The corner of Yan Dong’s mouth was already twitching slightly. This was the Cauldron Heart Pill, and not some ordinary alchemical pill that was commonly found on the streets. How could they be taken out one by one like this?

Aiyo, my heart.

He wanted to stretch out his hand, yet saw Ling Han take out the fourth bottle of alchemical

pills.

The old geezer was rendered speechless, and the gaze he directed at Ling Han was a little eerie. ‘You’ve f****** deliberately come to slap the old geezer’s face, haven’t you?’ However, this was not the end. Ling Han took out the fifth bottle, the sixth bottle, the seventh bottle… very soon, nineteen pill bottles were laid out on the table, and added with the bottle that Yan Dong had put away previously, there were a total of twenty bottles, making a total of sixty Cauldron Heart Pills.

Yan Dong was already numb. He examined bottle after bottle, and by the seventh bottle, his petrified face had an expression of shock.

These were naturally all Cauldron Heart Pills, and there was no problem with them at all. What shocked him was the fact that these alchemical pills were too fresh.

Freshness was naturally not a bad thing, but what did it mean? These alchemical pills were all

concocted in the short term.

There was a huge problem here.

How difficult was it to concoct the Cauldron Heart Pill?

Even if there were alchemists who could concoct it, being able to concoct a cauldron’s worth

of these alchemical pills in a month was already very impressive. However, what about Ling Han? So many alchemical pills had definitely been concocted in the last month.

What kind of alchemy ability was this?

The old geezer was so stunned that he stopped what he was doing and went into a daze again.

Ling Han waited for a while, and couldn’t help but cough lightly.

Yan Dong finally came back to his senses, and said, “Brat, I was wrong!”

This wasn’t some alchemy prodigy, but a freak, all right? He had surpassed prodigy countless

times over.

At first, he could only say that he admired Ling Han, but now, he was really treating Ling Han

like a treasure.

Actually, he did not know alchemy. He only knew how to appraise alchemical pills, but having

dealt with alchemical pills for so many years, he naturally knew the difficulty level of

concocting various alchemical pills, and that was why he was so stunned.

Ling Han smiled “shyly”. For the Alchemy Emperor, this was really no big deal.

“Er… contribution points,” he kindly reminded.

“Ah!” Only now did Yan Dong remember, but his expression immediately became ugly.

He had personally announced that he would double the contribution points for the Cauldron

Heart Pill, but that was because there were only three pills. If he privately gave Ling Han an additional 150 contribution points, none of the other higher ups would say anything about

him.

But it was different now. There were a total of 60 pills, and the contribution points involved

was 3000 points.

Three thousand points!

A great many people had earned less than this amount of contribution points in a few years,

yet it had slipped out of his hands.

Oh no, he had screwed himself over.
