How can this be?
The reason everyone gathered here was to wait for Qin Chen to refine pills, but now Qin Chen unexpectedly said he would not refine anymore. Didn’t that mean they had waited in vain?
Many of the martial artists who had just arrived at the Tianwu Pill Shop were stirred up upon hearing this.
“Your Excellency, why aren’t you refining anymore?
There are still many people who haven’t gotten their pills yet?”
“Yes, how can this be? It’s not my turn yet?”
“I haven’t had my turn either; I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
“Master, why suddenly stop refining?”
Qin Chen’s announcement to stop alchemy immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Qin Chen apologetically said again, “Everyone, my Tianwu Pill Shop has been refining continuously for a month, and I had already mentioned before we started that we would have a grand opening promotion, refining pills for a month. Now the time is up, and I’ve consumed quite a bit of my divine sense. Please understand.”
“When will you start refining pills again, Your Excellency?”
Someone immediately pressed for an answer.
“I cannot say for certain. I need to go into seclusion this time, and when I will come out is uncertain. Moreover, I have my own matters to attend to. It’s possible that one day in the future, my Tianwu Pill Shop will hold such promotional activities again,”
Qin Chen’s words caused everyone to feel a bit disheartened, even regretting that they hadn’t come here earlier.
A master alchemist like Qin Chen going into seclusion could easily be for a thousand or several thousand years; who knows when he would come out?
Although Qin Chen looked very young, everyone speculated that such a master alchemist must have lived for tens of thousands of years, or else his accomplishments in the path of alchemy wouldn’t be so terrifying.
“Of course, although we will no longer refine for free, my Tianwu Pill Shop will still regularly sell some pills and will also be purchasing holy medicines and materials for the long term. I hope everyone can continue to support our business.”
Qin Chen clasped his hands to the crowd.
With Qin Chen saying this, many present sighed. They didn’t dare to offend Qin Chen, after all, being able to open such a large shop in Dongguang City, along with being a terrifying master of alchemy, meant that the force behind him must be incredibly formidable.
Those martial artists who didn’t get to have Qin Chen refine their pills could only pack up their materials and leave in disappointment.
“Chen, are we really not refining anymore?
These people have a lot of materials, and many of them are quite rare. If we could refine pills, we would definitely make a huge profit.”
You Qianxue understood very well how much benefit Qin Chen had gained over the past month. According to half a stick of incense per furnace, Qin Chen had refined at least several thousand furnaces of pills in this month, and that was only what was visible; in reality, the pills Qin Chen refined in the Qian Kun Zao Hua Yu Die were even more numerous. Just from this aspect alone, what Qin Chen earned was even more than what he gained from slaying the Saint Master of Extinction and the three major forces of Guangyue Tian.
Just the mid-grade Saint Master level pills alone, Qin Chen had over ten thousand pieces on him. Additionally, there were various holy veins and other treasures, which was simply a huge fortune.
“If we continue refining, we will likely gather all the rare materials in Dongguang City. At that time, it will surely provoke dissatisfaction from other forces. Even those trading companies and alchemy forces that have refined pills with us will feel envious, after all, we would have gained too much.”
“Moreover, I still have many materials left on me. Next, I must refine these materials into pills and send them to Chen Di Pavilion, which will inevitably take up some time. I also need to head to the Southern Sky Realm, so I don’t have much time to waste.”
