Chapter 757 - 757 Third Floor Of The 'Myriad Pills Pavilion' (2)

A moment later, Shun Long quickly suppressed the smile on his face and kept staring at the scene in front of him.

Not only did the third floor of the 'Myriad pills pavilion' have plenty of rank 6 pills and medicinal herbs for sale, but it even had some 'empty' counters where certain white-robed old men and women were sitting behind them.

Surprisingly, those counters were the most popular ones on the third floor, as people had queued up in front of them, forming extremely long lines.

However, Shun Long's eyes were focused on the words above each of those counters, which made his eyes lit up once again.

''Rank 2 gold-grade alchemist, Yan Feng. Able to refine low and middle rank 6 pills. Price per refinement: 40.000 middle-grade spirit stones.''

''Rank 3 gold-grade alchemist, Shi Tai. Able to refine middle and high-grade rank 6 pills. Price: 100.000 middle-grade spirit stones.''

''Peak rank 3 gold-grade alchemist, Huang Ming. Able to refine high-grade pills with 80 percent certainty. Price: 180.000 middle-grade spirit stones.''

''Commander Quan, are these alchemists all from the 'Myriad pills pavilion'?'' Bai Longtian asked in surprise, as he, Liu Mei, and the others, all stared at the scene on the third floor of the 'Myriad pills pavilion' in front of them.

There were more than 100 rank 2 and rank 3 gold-grade alchemists on this floor, and almost all of them had long lines in front of their counters, with many cultivators lined up to reach them.

The vast majority of those cultivators were Dao Kings, while a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators were also mixed in among them.

Shaking his head, commander Quan looked at Bai Longtian and answered seriously

''Of course not. Although the 'Myriad pills pavilion' has many gold-grade alchemists, how could they have more than 100 of them who are so free that they have nothing else to do? If that was the case, our Northern Sovereign's estate and the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' wouldn't even have a chance to compete with the 'Myriad pills pavilion' in this regard.

The alchemists here are all alchemists who are working by themselves, and most of them are rogue, or they belong to some of the smaller powers in our Nothern Sovereign's city.

However, since refining pills is so profitable, many of them choose to set up stalls within the 'Myriad pills pavilion'.'' Commander Quan's voice was laced with hints of envy as he stared at the numerous stalls around him.

It didn't matter if one was a Spirit realm cultivator or a Dao Emperor realm expert, everyone would need the help of an alchemist at some point in their lives.

This was why alchemists could charge exorbitant prices to refine pills and no one would bat an eye.

After all, one could earn back spirit stones, but they couldn't get back those years in their lives that they spent on training when they could have advanced even faster by consuming pills.

''Interesting. So the 'Myriad pills pavilion' doesn't care that these alchemists are stealing its business?'' Jiang Chen asked a moment later as he looked at the hundreds of counters around him.

Without question, the counters of the rogue alchemists were the most popular ones, attracting more than half of the cultivators on the third floor.

Commander Quan smiled and shook his head when he heard Jiang Chen's question, before he answered in a slightly derisive manner

''Hehe, young master, do you think that the 'Myriad pills pavilion' would do something that would hurt their business? How could those old fools possibly let anyone steal their business under their noses? This is actually even more beneficial to the 'Myriad pills pavilion' as a whole.

Firstly, the pavilion doesn't let those rogue alchemists put their stalls there for free, as it will always take a 20 percent commission from them with every purchase.

Additionally, the 'Myriad pills pavilion' has its own gold-grade alchemists who are refining rank 6 pills. Why would any of the cultivators here pay those rogue alchemists tens of thousands of spirit stones while also providing them with the medicinal herbs they need for the pills they want to refine and even risk the chance for the pill concoction to fail, when they can just buy the pills from the 'Myriad pills pavilion' directly?''

Looks of realization appeared on Jiang Chen's and the others' faces when they heard this as commander Quan then continued

''Naturally, they won't! They will only employ the services of those alchemists only if they can't purchase the pills they need from the 'Myriad pills pavilion' directly.

As for those pills that have an extremely low success rate, why would the 'Myriad pills pavilion' possibly risk refining them themselves while losing those expensive medicinal herbs in the process?

They will instead be extremely happy to let those cultivators purchase these medicinal herbs from them and let those alchemists try their hands on them.

Even if the pill concoction is a failure, the pavilion doesn't lose anything from it since they will have already sold the medicinal herbs to those cultivators, and they will even take a 20 percent cut from the alchemists.

The ones who take all the risks are the cultivators who need those pills!''

Shun Long's lips curved up as he stared at the counters around him before he said smilingly

''This way, not only does the 'Myriad pills pavilion' boost its business since they attract more cultivators, but the more successful alchemists make a killing after building their reputation since more people will choose to buy their pills.''

Commander Quan nodded his head calmly, and after taking a brief look at the third floor, he looked at Shun Long and the others and said

''Young masters, I need to meet the vice pavilion master. If you finish your business here, please come find me on the 5th floor.''

As he finished speaking, commander Quan cupped his hands at Shun Long and the rest, before his figure disappeared on the spot.
