Chapter 1720: A Fake Immortal Alchemist

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Sacred Spirit Continent was after all, not as developed as the Boundless Continent .

Besides, the Green Field was worse than others in every aspect . As a result, an Immortal Alchemist was invaluable for them .

They believed that Jiang Chen would not speak nonsensically at the gate of Danqing Tower . If he did so, the consequence would be terrible .

And Jiang Chen did look like he was about 26 years old after the disguise . Without the disguise, he would have been suspected .

“Master, please come this way,” the woman beckoned Jiang Chen solicitously .

Ye Sizhu was pleasantly surprised . She had almost forgotten that they could use Jiang Chen’s identity this way .

Seeing for herself the woman’s different reactions, and recalling how warm she had seemingly been, Ye Sizhu felt a little sick .

For the first time in her life, she recognized the benefits and convenience brought on by her identity .

Together, Jiang Chen and Ye Sizhu walked into Danqing Tower . There, they met Yao Qing and the others, who were of course, dumbfounded .

“Master!” the group exclaimed .

Zhang Ran didn’t need any reminder . He quickly walked up front and said, “I’m really sorry . I was in a bad mood because of something that came up earlier . I lost my manners, please don’t take it to heart . ”

He was looking at Ye Sizhu even as he spoke . He could not figure out why an Immortal Alchemist’s younger sister would dress like that .

Jiang Chen did not respond . He merely gazed at the group .

Meng Shixiong and Yao Qing felt rather pressured . They would be punished upon their return if they had offended an Immortal Alchemist .

“Master, I’m Meng Shixiong, a chief disciple from Heavenly Mountain School . My father is…” said Meng Shixiong, trying hard to introduce himself .

” I’m not interested . Sharpen your eyesight next time,” Jiang Chen brusquely interrupt ed him before leaving with Ye Sizhu, holding her hand .

Meng Shixiong was embarrassed . He was trying hard to hold his temper in check .

“Brother Meng, I’m the one to blame!” Zhang Ran said nervously .

Taking a deep breath, Meng Shixiong tried to calm down . He even showed a smile .

Seeing his reaction, Yao Qing showed a look of appreciation, nodding slightly .

Meng Shixiong was after all, a chief disciple of the Heavenly Mountain School . He was magnanimous enough .

Zhang Ran had been impolite to the Master, so the Master’s unkind response was understandable .

Both the Master and Meng Shixiong were about the same age, and Meng Shixiong was a proud person . Such a brushing off was hard to accept .

But he managed to restrain himself .

At the same time, a pretty woman who said she was the general steward approached Jiang Chen and Ye Sizhu quickly, just before they walked out of the corridor of Danqing Tower .

“Dear Master, I’m really sorry that you’ve been affected because of Danqing Tower’s negligence . You can get thirty percent off for all your purchases here today . ”

The pretty woman introduced herself as Mrs . Xiao . She was observing Jiang Chen secretly as she spoke .

She was not quite convinced that Jiang Chen was indeed an Immortal Alchemist .

However, even if there was only a slight chance that Jiang Chen was an Immortal Alchemist, Danqing Tower should treat him as if he really was one .

After all, they could just hold him accountable if they found themselves cheated subsequently .

Immortal Alchemists would tolerate no slights .

Jiang Chen could have moved around unscrupulously on the Boundless Continent as an alchemist .

Unfortunately, his alchemist’s identity was somewhat useless now because of his frequent confrontations with the Sovereign Soul Palace and other big forces .

Jiang Chen went on to name a few herbs to Mrs . Xiao .

Mrs . Xiao did not speak much as she took notes . After taking Jiang Chen to a cozy room to wait, she then left with the notes .

Mrs . Xiao came back fifteen minutes later .

“Master, we’ve got everything you want with the exception of two items which will be sold in an auction…” Mrs . Xiao said, somewhat awkwardly .

“I don’t have time for that . Just evaluate how much they are worth based on your past experience, then tell me the price,” replied Jiang Chen, who looked unfazed .

“Master, do you mean you’ll buy them even if their prices will be raised by ten or even by a hundred fold?” Mrs . Xiao asked in surprise . Even if he were rich, this was just not the way to spend money, she thought to herself .

“Master, our auction doesn’t only sell herbs . There will be other treasures being sold as well . Perhaps you’ll find more things you might like,” added Mrs . Xiao .

“I’m in a hurry . Just sell the herbs to me . If you can’t, I’ll just go elsewhere to shop . ”

Abruptly Jiang Chen got to his feet, ready to leave .

“Master, wait! Let me check again for you . ”

Mrs . Xiao hastily left the room a second time . When she finally returned, she was beaming . It seemed that the problem had been solved .

She said, “Master, this is against the rules . But since it’s your first visit here, our boss has agreed to sell them to you . We’ll charge you about thirty to forty times that of the normal price . ”

“No problem,” said Jiang Chen as he thought about his multiple storage rings, which had all kinds of Spiritual Stones, meteorites and other stuff in them .

They were not so useful to him, but they were actually worth quite a fortune .

If Jiang Chen had the rings in the Realm of Nine Heavens, he would not have had to work so hard .

“Okay . Master, please tell us your name . A member card will be prepared for you,” said Mrs . Xiao .

Thus Jiang Chen got the herbs he needed for the healing elixirs quite easily .

He thought, “It’s so good to be rich . ”

The next thing to do was to pay and to check the quality of the herbs .

Not until then did Mrs . Xiao truly believe that Jiang Chen was an Immortal Alchemist .

Only alchemists would spend so much money on herbs .

Noises were heard from the outside just after Jiang Chen had packed up the herbs he purchased .

Mrs . Xiao frowned . This should not be happening . She hurriedly apologized to Jiang Chen .

“It should be some small trouble . We’ll resolve it very quickly . ”

Jiang Chen did not mind, but the noises were getting louder and louder .

By now, Mrs . Xiao was really embarrassed . Danqing Tower was not a common market .

However, before she could leave to find out what the problem was, a staff member of Danqing Tower rushed in and whispered something to her .

The staff member said, “We are in trouble, Mrs . Xiao! . ”

By now, both Mrs . Xiao’s elegance and calmness had disappeared .

“What’s wrong?” asked Jiang Chen .

“Here is the thing . Another Immortal Alchemist came particularly for those two herbs . He had been expecting tonight’s auction . Naturally he was upset when he found out that they were no longer available,” Mrs . Xiao said, somewhat with a bitter smile .

Two Immortal Alchemists, she really could not afford to offend either one of them .

And it was actually Danqing Tower’s fault . They had removed the herbs from the auction list with the excuse that the herbs were not good enough for the auction . , However, the bad-tempered and disappointed Immortal Alchemist was not convinced .

“I don’t think I have anything to do with this . ”

Jiang Chen said with a mock smile . His business with Danqing Tower was already done . Plus he had paid a great fortune for the herbs .

Danqing Tower would certanly have to deal with their own troubles .

It was not as if he was afraid or anything like that . The responsibility was Danqing Tower’s . It was as simple as that .

“Immortal Alchemist? I became an apprentice when I was twelve . I spent four years taking care of furnaces . Only after that did I get my first chance to refine any elixirs . I found fire energy and Alien Flames when I was twenty . Not until the age of twenty-five did I start to work towards becoming an Immortal Alchemist . Then, step by step, I got to where I am today . ”

“You believe a youngster in his twenties is an Immortal Alchemist . Don’t be a fool!” Jiang Chen exploded .

Surprisingly, the noises outside were getting even louder . It turned out that the other Immortal Alchemist had collected lots of information, including Jiang Chen’s real age .

Mrs . Xiao noticed how unhappy Jiang Chen was . She quickly said, “Master, we didn’t mean to absolve ourselves of any responsibility!”

Then the door to the room was rudely pushed open .

“Where is the fraudster who claimed to be an Immortal Alchemist?”
