《Reincarnation of a Businessman》Chapter 45 - Recruitment of A Genius

Advertisement

“Yun Tian created low-ranked Mortal Qi Gathering pills!” The elder was shocked. To challenge someone of a much higher realm, shouldn’t the person have confidence in themselves? To make the most basic Qi Gathering pills, surely Yun Tian didn’t think his opponent would not be able to match that?

“Wipe that calm expression off your face and hand over the five hundred spirit stones we agreed upon! Don’t worry, if you can’t manage that much, you can become my slave to pay it off.” Zheng Luo smiled evilly. Previously, Yun Tian provoked the former and challenged him for a duel with five hundred spirit stones at stake. Now he would have to pay the price of offending him!

The crowd was also stunned.

“What is he thinking? Could it be that he just wanted to embarrass Zheng Luo by making him duel with a junior?”

“That can’t be right, even if Zheng Luo loses face for defeating someone so far inferior, Yun Tian’s financial situation is known to everyone! If he loses the duel, he might really have to be sold as a slave.”

While the crowd talked in hushed voices, Zhao Fan was listening to Hei Long’s perspective.

“No, this guy has the attitude of the protagonist, look at him smiling like an idiot despite having lost. I don’t know much about alchemy but the pills he made are definitely not just any normal Qi Gathering pills!”

Hei Long quickly remembered some situations from the novels he read previously. He felt a little melancholic when he realized that such an esteemed businessman such as himself would have to resort to remembering novels he read in college. Back then, he treated them as a waste of time, but now they were proving to be extremely useful. After all, the logic in his world was completely different from the logic in this world, where the iron fist was the ultimate logic.

“Who said he lost?” Zhao Fan’s words astounded everyone. Yun Tian looked at the youth who spoke out in a puzzled expression.

“How did this guy realize, especially from such a distance? He must be a master alchemist!” Yun Tian thought internally and his sloppy expression became more serious.

“Maybe there’s still hope of repaying my debt!” Yun Tian set his top priority to become the disciple of the youth. He didn’t have any qualms about becoming the disciple of a youth as appearances were often deceiving and strength deserved respect no matter the age.

“Hmm?” The elder shot the youth a look and felt a tinge of fury. The tier four Qi Gathering brat dared to question his judgment in front of the crowd.

The elder came closer to the plate and picked up one of the pills inspecting it carefully. His eyes widened and his expression turned delirious as if he was seeing his wife in bed with another man.

“A mixed pill!” The elder exclaimed after a moment of silence.

The crowd instantly burst into uproar. A mixed pill? Wasn’t that something only Foundation Establishment Cultivators were capable of making?

“A mixed pill? Impossible!” Zheng Luo and everyone else aside from Zhao Fan knew the value of a mixed pill.

“That’s right, this is indeed a Qi Gathering pill, but if you come closer, you can also feel the distinct aura of a fury pill! Yun Tian has combined both of them, albeit very sloppily, the pill is roughly eighty percent Qi Gathering pill and twenty percent fury pill.” The elder carefully examined the pill before coming to a conclusion.

“Elder, it was only luck that I managed to succeed” Yun Tian, who stood to the side, was wearing a smiling yet humble expression.

“This kid….too shameless” Hei Long clearly observed Yun Tian glancing at him subtly while acting all humble.

“He may actually have a shot at winning!” The crowd’s opinion of Yun Tian changed considerably. If before they thought of him as an immature and reckless person, now they realized that he had the right to act that way.

The elder cleared his throat and picked up the pill once more. Everyone held their breaths while they awaited for the appraisal of the pill. If the amount of energy lost was not too high, it was definitely possible for Yun Tian to win, considering the value of the mixed pill. Only Zhao Fan and Hei Long were confused since they didn’t know what a mixed pill was, Hei Long only noticed that the pill was special.

“This pill is not bad, it only lost thirty percent of its energy. On the market, a Qi Gathering pill can go for a hundred spirit stones but since you can only take one pill at a time, this pill which provides two effects can easily sell for four hundred spirit stones. Since this is not a perfect pill, the final estimate is roughly two hundred fifty spirit stones!” The elder concluded his judgment. The whole room became so silent, a pin dropping could be heard.

“So that’s how it is, a mixed pill is over four times more valuable than a normal pill!” Zhao Fan was enlightened. He noticed the silent expressions on everyone’s faces and also realized that the winner of the battle was determined based on the final price of the pill. The elder with years of experience definitely wouldn’t misjudge by a big amount so it was obvious that Yun Tian lost.

“Let me take control of the body for a moment,” Hei Long suddenly said.

On the stage, a violent roar of laughter erupted from Zheng Luo. Now that he definitely won, there was no need for him to act restrained. Yun Tian wore a gloomy expression and his fists clenched.

“Who said he lost? Examine Zheng Luo’s pill once again” Zhao Fan’s voice once more shocked everyone.

“What is this guy doing? Does he think he is a master because he managed to guess once correctly? He will definitely face the wrath of the elder if he keeps spouting nonsense!”

“Hold on, why do you assume he spouts nonsense and that his earlier comment was just luck? Just because his cultivation is weak doesn’t mean sh*t. What kind of idiot would dare interfere in a competition repeatedly? This guy definitely is not a novice.”

While the spectators argued, the elder’s brows furrowed. He restrained his anger and decided to issue judgment once the youth was proved wrong so as to not lose any more face. It was already embarrassing enough not to notice a mixed pill, but could he be blamed? It was completely unexpected for such a low tier alchemist to make a mixed pill since the process required great skill, the elder didn’t even consider any other option once he felt the Qi Gathering pill aura.

He quickly came over to examine Zheng Luo’s pills once again. Just like before, his mouth flew open in the middle of saying something, as if he had seen a ghost. Not only did he see a ghost, he saw the ghost and his wife performing intercourse!

“Zheng Luo is disqualified since his pills were created in an unskilled manner!”

“WHAT?!” Zheng Luo quickly rushed over to his pills and didn’t see anything wrong. As he was about to say something he noticed a thin tendril of smoke seeping out of the pill!

“You trash, imbecile! Traces of your qi remained in the pill and it is now slowly crumbling apart! You dare dishonor the exalted status of the Pill Duel by using an unmastered skill?! ” The elder flew into rage.

Just then, the pills suddenly emitted a large burst of smoke and cracked into countless pieces.

“MOTHERF*CKER!” The elder lost his cool and swung his palm at Zheng Luo. Everyone in the hall shivered as they felt an unmatched aura emitted from the body of the elder.

“So this is the aura of a Core Condensation Expert!” Hei Long yelled excitedly.

“Thousand Fire Ant Scorch!”

An aura of fire coated the elder’s palm which struck Zheng Luo’s chest before the latter could react. The force caused him to shoot out of the room and slam into a sturdy marble pillar. Everyone in the main hall of the Alchemist Guild turned towards the commotion.

It was clearly not a very strong palm attack, since the elder could easily vaporize Zheng Luo if he really wanted to, but everyone’s eyes still contained fear.

“AHHHHH!” Zheng Luo stood up and found that his skin was coated in small tendrils of flame which persistently drilled into his skin, like thousands of red ants biting him every second. He could only scream miserably before running out of the building.

The elder seemed satisfied and turned towards the youth in the crowd who had spoken out multiple times.

“Kid, do you want to become my disciple?”
