"That's right, it's indeed that one. However, even though I was the auctioneer at that time, who said that I can't auction off this Heavenly Dao Source Fruit?"
The Sleeping Dream Immortal laughed.
Qin Chen was speechless. This Sleeping Dream Immortal was too skilled at manipulating the situation, wasn't he?
At this moment, he had already understood that the one who had spent twenty-seven middle-grade Holy Master Holy Veins to auction the Space System Heavenly Dao Source Fruit at the City Lord's Mansion auction was clearly the Sleeping Dream Immortal, merely asking someone to bid for him.
But upon closer thought, Qin Chen suddenly realized that while the Sleeping Dream Immortal might not bid for other Heavenly Dao Source Fruits, how could he possibly let go of the Space System Heavenly Dao Source Fruit? This person was a top-tier expert in the Space System himself. If he obtained this Heavenly Dao Source Fruit, it might enhance his own understanding of space.
Although, given the Sleeping Dream Immortal's strength, the enhancement might not be significant, but at his level, even the slightest improvement in any Law was extremely rare. If he could thus break into the late-stage peak Holy Master realm, with the Sleeping Dream Immortal's inherent strength, he would most likely reach an exceedingly terrifying level.
It's just a pity for those forces and experts who had been eyeing the Heavenly Dao Source Fruit at the auction. They were played by the Sleeping Dream Immortal.
Now Qin Chen understood that the Sleeping Dream Immortal wasn't just casually passing through here; he had been waiting for his appearance.
"How about it, Chen Dan Sheng? I wonder if you can refine this Heavenly Dao Source Fruit?" The Sleeping Dream Immortal looked at Qin Chen with fiery eyes, filled with hope, just like a child looking at his favorite toy, even with a hint of nervousness.
Qin Chen nodded and said, "Although the difficulty of refining this Heavenly Dao Divine Pill is extremely high, I can indeed refine it."
Having previous experience refining the Origin System Heavenly Dao Divine Pill, Qin Chen felt no pressure at all regarding the refining of this Space System Heavenly Dao Source Fruit.
"Haha, that's great."
The Sleeping Dream Immortal jumped up like a child who had just received a treasure. "Then I must trouble you, Chen Qing Dan Sheng."
Saying this, he hurriedly handed over the jade box, along with a pile of top-grade materials, which were naturally the auxiliary materials for refining the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill.
"There's no need to rush." Qin Chen did not take it immediately but asked with a puzzled expression, "Allow me to ask one more thing. With the identity and status of the Deputy City Lord, it shouldn't be too difficult to find an alchemist who can refine the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill, right?"
For others, finding an alchemist capable of refining the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill might be quite difficult, but the Sleeping Dream Immortal shouldn’t have such problems, especially since he came from some top-tier forces. Even if there were no such alchemists in Dongguang City, he could still find other ways to refine it.
"Ah, Chen Qing Dan Sheng, you may not know." The Sleeping Dream Immortal shook his head and said quietly, "If I were to find an alchemist from another trading company to refine it, wouldn't it leak that the Heavenly Dao Source Fruit was auctioned by me? At that time, the reputation of my City Lord's Mansion would plummet, and which treasure would be willingly given to my City Lord's Mansion for auction in the future? Besides, as the Deputy City Lord, I can't afford to lose that face."
"Of course, there are other methods, but they are too troublesome. The most important thing is that I know all the alchemists in the major trading companies in Dongguang City. The success rate of refining the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill is only thirty percent. If they fail to refine it, where would I find another Space System Heavenly Dao Source Fruit?"
"However, the pills you refined, Chen Qing Dan Sheng, I previously specifically purchased a few. The special-grade middle-grade Holy Master pills you refined are truly astonishing. You might not know, but your emergence has already attracted the attention of other alchemy forces. Among those who followed me before, there must be their people. Hmph, these guys are all quite cunning when facing threats."
