Chapter 105 Joining the Alchemist Alliance
Seeing that the matter of the Thousand Gold Vine had been resolved satisfactorily, Ye Xiaobai stood up in a good mood. He felt that this was the perfect opportunity to discuss with the shopkeeper the purchase of materials needed to help the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard break through.
So he strode towards the shopkeeper, his eyes firm and confident. On the way, he had been secretly calculating which rare and precious materials he needed to purchase to help the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard successfully break through its cultivation level.
When Ye Xiaobai arrived in front of the shopkeeper, he greeted him with a smile and got straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, I would like to discuss with you the matter of purchasing materials to assist the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard in its breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
"No problem! Just tell me what materials you need, Fellow Daoist Ye!" the shopkeeper said.
After confirming the material prices with the shopkeeper, Ye Xiaobai suddenly realized how few spirit stones he had left, and a sense of anxiety welled up in his heart.
Originally, I did not intend to sell pills to exchange for spirit stones, but now the situation is urgent and I have no choice but to sell the low-grade and mid-grade Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills to Miaodanfang.
Although this batch of Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills is of slightly inferior quality, it has still been carefully refined and contains a certain amount of medicinal power, which can help cultivators improve their foundation.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you've actually managed to refine fourth-tier pills!" The shopkeeper asked, his face filled with astonishment and his voice trembling slightly. He stared wide-eyed at the crystal-clear Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pill in Ye Xiaobai's hand, which exuded a rich medicinal fragrance, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
It is important to know that advancing an alchemist's level is no easy task. It requires an extremely profound understanding and mastery of the medicinal properties of herbs, as well as superb alchemy skills and experience.
It's unbelievable that this young Ye Xiaobai could successfully refine a fourth-grade pill!
"Yes, it was just successfully refined a while ago!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Ye's alchemy skills are indeed exceptionally gifted!" the shopkeeper praised with a broad smile, his eyes gleaming with admiration.
As he gently stroked the bottle of pills in his hand, he exclaimed with admiration, "Such high-quality pills are truly rare! Fellow Daoist Ye must have unique attainments and insights in the art of alchemy."
After speaking, the shopkeeper examined the crystal-clear pill carefully, as if he could see something in it.
"You flatter me, shopkeeper!" Ye Xiaobai said modestly.
Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai sold these Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills for 100,000 spirit stones, and then used these spirit stones to buy some materials needed for the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard's breakthrough.
"Shopkeeper, we've finished our small talk, let's get down to business!" Ye Xiaobai said without further ado.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are truly exceptionally talented! Actually, I originally intended to invite you to join our Alchemist Alliance!" The shopkeeper said with a smile and a sincere tone.
His gaze revealed his admiration for Ye Fei, as if he had already decided that this young cultivator would become a member of their Alchemist Alliance.
"Originally? And now?" Ye Xiaobai asked, puzzled.
"Now, I am even more eager to urge you, fellow Daoist, to join our Alchemist Alliance! You should know that our Alchemist Alliance brings together the most outstanding alchemy masters in the entire Great Jin Kingdom! Moreover, it also holds countless rare and exquisite alchemy materials!"
The shopkeeper shouted excitedly. His eyes gleamed with eagerness, as if he could already see the glorious future that would come if this mysterious fellow Daoist became one of them.
"Actually, I am a disciple of the White Tiger Sect. Does that have any impact?" Ye Xiaobai asked.
"It has absolutely no impact. Alchemists from all four major sects have joined our Alchemist Alliance. After all, joining makes it easier and more affordable to obtain rare alchemy materials," the shopkeeper explained.
"Another point that needs to be emphasized is that our Alchemist Alliance has always maintained a neutral stance. We only handle matters related to pills and will never interfere in the disputes between sects!" The shopkeeper explained to the person in front of him again with a serious expression.
He knew that although the Alchemist Alliance he belonged to held a prestigious position, he had to always adhere to principles and bottom lines and could not easily get involved in the struggles of other forces.
After all, once involved in these complex entanglements, it will not only bring a lot of trouble to the alliance, but may even endanger the stability and peace of the entire alchemy world.
Therefore, they must be cautious about anything that might cause conflict or contradiction, so as not to fall into an unmanageable situation.
"So that's how it is. But I heard you have very high standards! Is my alchemy skill level sufficient?" Ye Xiaobai asked again, not wanting to be criticized for his poor alchemy skills after joining.
“Absolutely no problem!” the shopkeeper affirmed.
"By the way, I heard that after joining, you can buy alchemy materials at a discounted price. I wonder how much of a discount you can get?" Ye Xiaobai was naturally concerned about how many spirit stones he could save, since earning spirit stones wasn't easy.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, as you know, our Miaodanfang members can enjoy a 20% discount, while alchemists who join the Alchemist Alliance can enjoy corresponding discounts according to their alchemist level."
"For example, a third-grade alchemist can enjoy an amazing 30% discount when purchasing pills or spiritual herbs! And fourth-grade and fifth-grade alchemists are not far behind, they can enjoy an attractive 40% discount!"
"What's even more impressive is that if you are a sixth-grade alchemist or higher, you can enjoy a 50% discount! This kind of discount is simply irresistible!"
The shopkeeper said excitedly.
"There really are a lot of discounts available. What about me? How many discounts can I get?" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed first, then asked about his own situation.
"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Ye is not bad either. He has already refined the fourth-grade pill, Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pill, so he can be considered a fourth-grade alchemist. He should be considered a fourth-grade alchemist and can enjoy a 40% discount!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Then I can buy materials that originally cost 150,000 spirit stones for only 90,000 spirit stones, saving me 60,000 spirit stones!" Ye Xiaobai said excitedly.
"exactly!"
"I want to join!" Ye Xiaobai said excitedly.
"Come over here to complete the formalities!" The shopkeeper directly led Ye Xiaobai to complete the procedures for joining the Alchemist Alliance.
Ye Xiaobai quickly completed the formalities, and in the end, he was given an identity token from the Alchemist Alliance, which recorded the holder's name, alchemist level, and other information.
"Now that I'm a member of the Alchemist Alliance, can I get a refund for the extra spirit stones I spent on the materials?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, but I can't!" the shopkeeper firmly refused.
"You!" Ye Xiaobai was speechless. He should have joined earlier when he bought the materials, then he could have saved a lot of spirit stones.
"Can you offer a discount on the Thousand Golden Vine later?"
"This is acceptable!"
"Oh, and don't forget the 200 bottles of fourth-tier pills every month!" the shopkeeper added.
"What? There's another mission!" Ye Xiaobai asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, we'll provide the materials. After it's sold out, we'll split the profits 30/70, you get 30% and we get 70%!" the shopkeeper added again.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Ye Xiaobai had no choice. Since he had joined the Alchemist Alliance, he couldn't just think about the discounts. However, having a large amount of materials to refine pills would also further improve his alchemy skills. Overall, it was not bad.
