How old was Yang Chen?

The potential in alchemy and the wide possibilities for him were still abundant. After some nurturing from their side, having such an alchemist in the Pill Heart Commerce would bring in more Spirit Stones, wouldn’t it?

With this in mind, Wen Piaoxue didn’t care about her dignity and face anymore. She had clearly seen Yang Chen’s alchemy level and beckoned directly: “Caiyue, get some Spirit Stones for Young Master Yang!”

As she said this, she conveyed the amount to Caiyue through a sound transmission.

Caiyue didn’t dare to be careless and quickly prepared the Spirit Stones.

Yang Chen handed over the six Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills to Wen Piaoxue, waiting for the Spirit Stones to be handed over.

Soon, Caiyue returned, and Wen Piaoxue handed the Spirit Stones to Yang Chen without saying a word.

Yang Chen was shocked at the amount of Spirit Stones he received.

Because there were a full forty million Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag.

With the Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills he had refined, deducting the cost and so on, at most he would get thirty million Spirit Stones. Yet, Wen Piaoxue didn’t hesitate to give him forty million, as if sprinkling water, not caring about the few million Spirit Stones, showing no emotional fluctuations.

How could Yang Chen not understand Wen Piaoxue’s intentions?

It was clear that she wanted to win him over.

However, Yang Chen had no intention of agreeing. Coughing, he said, “Senior Wen, these forty million Spirit Stones are a bit too much.”

“No, Young Master Yang, your talent is worth these forty million Spirit Stones.” Wen Piaoxue smiled slightly. The smile was full of kindness and warmth, and it would have been enough to win over anyone else.

Yang Chen replied calmly, “Senior Wen, you must be joking. No one can receive rewards without contributing. I should only get what I deserve. As for the excess…”

Seeing Yang Chen like this, Wen Piaoxue was slightly startled, never expecting Yang Chen to be so honest.

This made Wen Piaoxue’s tone more serious as she went straight to the point, “To be honest with you, Young Master Yang, with your talent, I want to invite you on behalf of the Pill Heart Commerce to develop in our company. It is undoubtedly the right choice for you, with your alchemy talent, to develop in our Pill Heart Commerce.”

“Indeed, Young Master Yang, our Pill Heart Commerce is one of the largest elixir trading companies in Changning County. This is just one of our branches.” Caiyue chimed in.

Yang Chen was not surprised by their words.

It was all within his expectations.

However, he had no intention of agreeing.

After some thought, Yang Chen said, “Senior Wen, it’s not that I don’t want to accept your kindness, but I am an outsider in town. I have to attend the Black Dragon Sect banquet and then go back. I won’t be able to stay in Changning County for long. I hope you can understand.”

“If that’s the case, let’s discuss it later. Young Master Yang, please visit our company more often, and if you need Spirit Stones, don’t forget the Pill Heart Commerce.” Wen Piaoxue said gently.

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt a little embarrassed and took out the Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag, “Senior Wen, I won’t take the extra Spirit Stones.”

“Young Master Yang, you must be joking. It’s what you deserve. You have refined so many Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills for our company. We naturally need to give you more for the profits alone.” Wen Piaoxue said.

Yang Chen felt awkward and said, “In that case, thank you, Senior Wen. Well, Fang Lan, Cui Ju, let’s go.”

As Yang Chen left, Caiyue couldn’t help but say, “Elder Wen, should we let Yang Chen go? Shouldn’t we try to keep him here?”

“Yang Chen has no intention of agreeing. If we want to win him over, we must start from the basics. Caiyue, investigate Yang Chen’s background. Such a talented alchemist must not be missed. We must spare no effort.” Wen Piaoxue said with a solemn expression.

Hearing that, Caiyue didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly went to investigate.

At the same time, Yang Chen left the Pill Heart Commerce with Fang Lan and Cui Ju.

Their attitude towards Yang Chen had changed a lot as they left.

It was like night and day.

Yang Chen seemed oblivious to this. After all, what did Fang Lan and Cui Ju’s change of attitude towards him have to do with him?

Now that he had made enough Spirit Stones, Yang Chen headed straight back to the original Candlefire Commerce Association!

When he returned, it was still the same shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was Yang Chen, his expression turned unhappy: “Kid, it’s you again?”

Yang Chen spoke slowly, “Shopkeeper, the same materials as before. This time, I’ve brought enough Spirit Stones. I hope you can give me the materials I need.”

“Kid, watch your mouth! Our Candlefire Commerce Association is not a place you can mess with. If you don’t have Spirit Stones, get the hell out of here!” The shopkeeper directly scolded Yang Chen. He had seen a lot of people like this with no Spirit Stones trying to pretend.

Yang Chen felt a little embarrassed seeing the shopkeeper still looking down on him.

However, he did need these materials, and he was put in a difficult position at the moment.

Just as he was in this dilemma, an aged voice suddenly rang out from within the commerce association: “Luo Shopkeeper, what’s going on?”

Startled, the shopkeeper responded, “Elder Han!”

Immediately after, an old man walked out from the interior of the commerce association. He was dressed in plain clothes and seemed to have heard the commotion outside. Frowning, he asked, “Luo Shopkeeper, what’s with all the fuss?”

Luo Shopkeeper looked at the elder with a fawning smile, “Elder Han, this kid wants to buy materials, but he doesn’t have any Spirit Stones. He’s not here for the first time. The first time I ignored him, but I never thought he’d dare to come again.”

Yang Chen didn’t bother explaining himself.

In fact, the more some things are explained, the more unclear they become.

Therefore, he stood with his hands behind his back, watching Elder Han while sizing him up.

Elder Han had a high level of martial arts cultivation, similar to Wen Piaoxue, and a master’s demeanor. He was clearly a real decision-maker in the commerce association.

Elder Han didn’t rush to make any judgment but just glanced at Luo Shopkeeper and said, “What materials does this young friend need? Let me see!”

Luo Shopkeeper quickly took out the materials that Yang Chen needed.

Upon seeing them, Elder Han slowly said, “Young friend, these materials are worth a full twenty million Spirit Stones. Such a sum, even those in the True Martial Realm would not dare to claim they have. If you want to buy, you should weigh yourself first and not babble nonsense.”
