"But, Junior Sister, how did I hear that Master is actually fine, and merely missing!" Chen Chuan leaned forward and whispered into Huangfu Ye's ear.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ye's expression instantly changed. Unable to help herself, she blurted out, "Wh-what? How-how do you know?"
"No, that's not right, you, what are you talking about? How could Grandpa go missing? He, he's just injured, don't talk nonsense!!"
At this moment, Huangfu Ye's face was filled with panic. The thing she feared most had happened. Chen Chuan knew the truth about her grandfather.
As expected, Chen Chuan smiled upon hearing this, "I'm talking nonsense? Junior Sister, stop struggling. She's told me everything, just admit it!!"
As the words fell, a figure in a red robe, wearing a veil, slowly walked out from behind Chen Chuan.
The moment Huangfu Ye saw this person, her last shred of hope vanished. She angrily exclaimed, "It's you, you told him the news, why?"
Hearing this, the red figure sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Huangfu. I had no choice. Your Senior Brother's offer was impossible to refuse!"
She had indeed not intended to say anything, but Chen Chuan's offer was too tempting. Not only did he promise to refine pills for her,
but he also pledged to split a portion of the Pill Dao Pavilion's business once he ascended to the position of Sect Master. Such an offer, no one would refuse.
Moreover, she was from the Blood Witch organization, an evil cult, and thus naturally couldn't refuse.
"You!!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Ye was furious, her face contorted with rage. Especially when she thought about how she had offended Ye Feng, someone from the Qin family, her expression turned even uglier.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan's face was filled with smugness. He said, "Junior Sister, it's come to this, do you still want to struggle? Don't worry, as long as you agree with me, once I become Sect Master, I will definitely not mistreat you!"
As he spoke, Chen Chuan extended his hand with a look of concern, wanting to hold Huangfu Ye's hand to show his sincerity.
However, just as his hand was about to touch Huangfu Ye, she reacted sharply and shouted, "Impossible, Chen Chuan, give up on this idea. I will not let you succeed!!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing this, Chen Chuan was not surprised by her reaction, nor was he angry. He smiled and said, "However, that's not up to you. I believe that as long as you are not here, no one in the Pill Dao Sect will dare to oppose me!"
He had already bought over many people during this time, and his alchemy skills were not weak, even slightly better than Huangfu Ye's. Therefore, he believed that as long as he spoke, no one in the Pill Dao Sect would dare to object!
However, upon hearing this, Huangfu Ye's face immediately showed panic. She retreated repeatedly and said, "You, what do you want to do? You scoundrel, if you dare to touch me, I will not let you go even if I die!!"
Chen Chuan immediately chuckled, "Heh, don't be nervous, Junior Sister. You are the one I love the most. How could I do anything to you? I just hope you won't cause trouble while I'm taking over as Sect Master!"
Saying this, he immediately turned to the red-robed person from the Blood Witch organization and said, "I ask for your assistance, Your Excellency. I hope my Junior Sister does not appear in the Pill Dao Sect before I become Sect Master!"
Hearing this, the red-robed woman immediately nodded, "Heh, no problem. I guarantee she won't appear here during this time. However, remember the conditions you promised me!"
With that, she raised her hand, and a terrifying force transformed into an invisible giant hand that firmly restrained Huangfu Ye, rendering her immobile.
Seeing this, Huangfu Ye wanted to resist, but the gap in strength between them was too great. She could only watch helplessly as the red-robed woman took her away from the Pill Dao Sect.
Watching the backs of the two as they left, Chen Chuan finally revealed a smile. Then, without lingering, he immediately got up and headed towards the crooked gate...
On the other side, Ye Feng was unaware of the situation in the Pill Dao Sect. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He was busy dealing with the situation of the pills these days.
ever since he had continuously refined the pills from the Deep Sea Alchemy Technique, he had placed these pills for sale at the Sea God Company.
At first, people were dismissive of these pills of unknown origin. But after someone bought them out of curiosity and tried them, these pills became an instant sensation.
In just a few days, they had generated tens of millions of spirit stones for him, and there was even a situation of supply falling short of demand.
"Ye Feng, are you done? Someone else has come to inquire outside the company. They're asking when the next batch of pills will be sold so they can rush to buy them!" He Shasha's anxious voice sounded from outside the door.
Ever since Ye Feng started selling the pills he had refined during this period, He Shasha had become the person specifically helping him sell them.
At first, she thought that a nameless alchemist like Ye Feng, coupled with the lack of a good sales platform, would have difficulty selling the pills.
However, she soon realized that she had underestimated Ye Feng, or rather, the terrifying power of the Deep Sea Alchemy Technique. These pills were far more popular than she had imagined.
If she knew how to refine pills, she would have wanted to help Ye Feng refine them herself. They were simply too popular.
However, upon hearing her words, Ye Feng was also speechless. He had underestimated the popularity of these pills.
It was just that human resources were limited. No matter how capable he was, he was still only one person and couldn't refine so many pills at once, which made him feel helpless.
"Damn it, this won't do if it continues like this. Even if I don't die of exhaustion, my mental power won't be able to handle it!" Ye Feng frowned and said.
Although alchemy was not as intense as combat, it was extremely draining on mental power. Prolonged refinement could even lead to mental power depletion.
Coupled with the fact that he had hardly rested during this period to break through to a second-tier alchemist, he felt he was reaching his limit.
"No, I need to rest, otherwise, I might really die from overwork!"
Ye Feng secretly thought, "However, if I stop, the reputation I've built up over the past few days might be ruined. What should I do?"
After much thought, Ye Feng finally came up with a method: he could find someone to refine on his behalf!
Although the Deep Sea Alchemy Method required cultivation of the Sea God功法 to refine, he could completely imitate the situation at the Pill Dao Sect that day.
He could use traditional refining methods and then combine them with the seafood products from the Sea God Company.
In this way, the effect might not be as good as when he refined it himself, but it would still be much better than the pills on the market.
Most importantly, this way he wouldn't have to refine pills constantly.
Moreover, since these seafood products were only available at the Sea God Company, he wasn't worried about this method leaking out. It was a win-win situation!
"Damn it, that's how it'll be done!"
Ye Feng immediately made up his mind and began to ask He Shasha for help in finding people. Soon, there was news...
