Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 479
Advertisement
Lugh only needed a short while to raise the purity of the pill, and he would be able to surpass the annual profits of the Redwood clan and the Green Snake clan.
However, no one knew about it. Lugh also didn't go out and say anything. After he was found out, he would definitely be captured. Currently, Lugh's strength wasn't enough.
Lugh still didn't dare to be arrogant.
When the Green Snake clan leader saw the people below, he looked at the Redwood clan leader in shock. He looked at the Redwood clan leader unhappily.
The Green Snake clan leader was a human too. He wanted to show off in front of others.
Moreover, he had the right to show off. His clan's strength wasn't weaker than the Redwood clan.
"2 million gold coins."
The Green Snake family's patriarch stated his price.
The people below, Guangshi City's patriarchs, had just been shocked by the Redwood family's patriarch. It had only been a short while.
The Green Snake family's patriarch had also come to them.
"Raising the price by one million gold coins is really a big deal."
"Is this an alchemy family's strength? There's no way to contend with it."
"Sigh! Forget it, forget it. I can still give the two great clans a try. It seems that we're completely overestimating themselves."
The head of the Green Snake clan looked proudly at the people below the stage.
He had seen this kind of scene many times, especially when he went to some small cities.
The smaller the city, the weaker the clans within. Naturally, they would have less money.
As long as he revealed a little bit of his financial resources, he would be able to make the heads of these clans gasp in amazement.
If the head of the Green Snake family was in the capital of the Green Kingdom, then it wouldn't be possible.
That was the capital of the Green Kingdom. It wasn't just the Redwood family and the Green Snake family, two alchemy families.
Moreover, there were rich people in other industries, so the head of the Green Snake family rarely succeeded in showing off in the capital of the Green Kingdom.

Moreover, besides being rich, the capital of the Green Kingdom had power.
Those large number of powerful people in the capital, as long as they gave the order, the property of the Redwood family and the Green Snake family would be confiscated.
Money could not beat power. This was the fundamental reason.
The Redwood family patriarch looked at the Green Snake family patriarch in surprise. Although both of them came for the alchemy manual, everyone was interested in the perfect grade pills.
If the two of them were to fight over this alchemy manual, it would be too great for the other clans.
The two richest clans kept increasing the price of the alchemy manual they didn't really need. This way, they could use a lower price to auction off the perfect grade medicinal pill.
The Redwood clan's patriarch was currently considering whether to continue increasing the price. If he continued to bid, he was afraid that the Green Snake clan would keep competing with him.
If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to obtain the secret manual. However, after thinking about it for a moment, this pill refining secret manual was actually not that attractive to the Redwood clan leader.
This was because they originally didn't know if this pill refining secret manual was suitable for their clan.
Although a very novel pill refining secret manual was very useful for a pill refining clan to improve their pill refining techniques, some pill refining manuals were completely opposite to the techniques used by a pill refining clan, and their pill refining techniques were opposites.
It was completely possible that water and fire couldn't be reconciled. The Redwood clan's patriarch had auctioned for many pill refining manuals, and had encountered this situation before.
After some pill refining manuals were auctioned and won, they would take them home and discover that they couldn't be used at all. It wasn't that the manuals on them were fake, but that the knowledge of the pill refining manuals was completely different.
If one were to refine pills according to the techniques in the secret alchemy manuals, then the entire clan's alchemy techniques would have to be changed. Otherwise, there would be no way to use them.

This was completely possible. There were many schools of thought in alchemy, and the techniques used were vastly different. The temperature used for each type of material and the time used were completely different.
When the alchemy clan saw that the alchemy techniques used were different from their own clan's, most of them were looking at the techniques written on them. Could they use them for reference?
If they couldn't use them, then they could only sell them.
It was impossible for a clan to change their entire alchemy technique just because of a secret alchemy manual that they had never seen before.
Generally speaking, an alchemy clan's alchemy technique would use a single technique. After that, everyone would only have a slight difference when refining pills.
This was because the techniques used by a clan were constantly improved and used by themselves. In addition to the inheritance of experience, in order to better control their own alchemy techniques, a clan would usually only use a single alchemy technique
Unless it was some large family, at least at the level of an empire, the alchemy family would use many alchemy techniques. They had money and talent to maintain different alchemy techniques at the same time.
The Redwood family and the Green Snake family obviously didn't have the strength. The two of them were only ordinary alchemy families in the Green Kingdom. Even the best alchemy family in the Green Kingdom didn't use many alchemy techniques to refine pills.
This was the inevitable choice of cost and time.
Originally, the Redwood clan's patriarch had thought that no matter what, he would take down this alchemy manual. It would definitely be something that would affect the clan's fate.
But when the perfect grade pill appeared, the Redwood clan's patriarch now had other thoughts.
The Redwood clan and the Green Snake clan were two alchemy clans. They could see some simple information on a pill.
They could also increase their own clan's techniques. This wasn't contradictory at all.
However, how much they could see depended entirely on their clan's luck. Some of the alchemy techniques were similar to their alchemy techniques, but the techniques within were more advanced. This way, they could learn more.
Some used alchemy techniques that they had never seen before. When the alchemy clans encountered this kind of pill, they were completely dumbfounded
Now, regardless of whether they were buying alchemy manuals or not, because there was a large number of techniques recorded on them, they would be able to obtain even more information.
Perfect grade pills were too reliant on luck. If they were unlucky, they would be thrown away.
If they gave up on the secret manuals now, they would be placing all their treasures on perfect grade pills.
Although it was very risky, the Redwood clan still wanted to give it a try.
Right now, the Redwood clan leader wanted to use the large amount of gold coins he brought to buy the perfect grade medicinal pills.
However, even if he wanted to buy the perfect grade medicinal pills, the Redwood clan leader wouldn't let the Green Snake clan leader easily obtain the pill refining secret manual.
If the Green Snake clan leader didn't follow, he would be able to obtain the pill refining secret manual. If the Green Snake clan leader followed, he would be able to use up the financial resources of the Green Snake clan leader.
This way, when the Redwood clan's patriarch purchased the perfect grade medicinal pills, he would be even more proactive. At that time, the richest person in the entire area would be the Redwood clan's patriarch.
Even though the Green Snake clan's patriarch still had quite a bit of wealth to compete with him for the perfect grade medicinal pills after purchasing the secret manual, at that time, the Green Snake clan's wealth would pose a great threat to him.
