Stronger from Earth-Chapter 180: When One Door Closes, You Can Still Open a Window
The rules of the Immortal Dome Pavilion have always been different from other Pill Masters. The supply of top-grade pills here is astonishingly large, surpassing the production of a dozen to twenty Pill Masters.
Besides using Star Yuan for purchases, the Immortal Dome Pavilion has a very special currency, which is Celestial Treasure, whether complete or defective.
As long as you use it as payment, you can buy any pills here at any time.
Over time, they all learned that Wang Xuan, who manages the Immortal Dome Pavilion, really likes these things and needs them.
"Since that's the case, we cannot sell Celestial Treasure and defective items randomly. We can usually use Star Yuan for pill purchases, especially for the hundred pills auctioned daily.
Only for extremely urgent and important pills, we will use Celestial Treasure Defects to request that Pill Master take action."
In a short period of time, these people banded together and established this unspoken rule. They continued to buy pills daily and visit the pavilion, but seldom sold Celestial Treasure defects.
For three consecutive days, they only offered three or five pieces of Celestial Treasure defects—this quantity compared to the previous ten days was less than a tenth.
Until this day, the Immortal Dome Pavilion closed its doors for good.
"Housekeeper Chen, wasn't the Immortal Dome Pavilion operating well? Why did it suddenly close? Is Senior Brother Wang unwell?"
Seventy or eighty people gathered at the Immortal Dome Pavilion, coming from various peaks, some were True Disciples, some were Elder disciples, and some were purchasing housekeepers.
They were used to buying top-grade pills in such a convenient place as the Immortal Dome Pavilion, ranging from Bone Tempering Pill to Qi Condensing Pill, and even Peaceful Spirit Pill and other pills usable by Divine Treasure and Vajra Realm cultivators.
The variety is vast and the quantity is overwhelming, truly astonishing.
If one were to try elsewhere, not only would top-grade pills be scarce, but one would have to search everywhere and rely on luck to find them, then request a Pill Master's help, which would be both exhausting and embarrassing. The excellence of the Immortal Dome Pavilion has long made them dependent.
The housekeeper shook his head: "The Mountain Lord is in good health, he's just unhappy and doesn't want to make pills. If you want pills, go elsewhere!
We at the Immortal Dome Pavilion do not entertain! Leave!"
Why is Wang Xuan unhappy? The housekeeper knew full well. Because these people got clever, compared to other Pill Masters, the Immortal Dome Pavilion was already commendable.
The Mountain Lord was fatigued from daily pill-making and it's just because he likes Celestial Treasure. Yet these people were insatiable and decided to stir trouble.
If these people can't provide the Celestial Treasure the Mountain Lord wants, then they shouldn't expect the freely accessible top-grade pills anymore.
But his words exploded among these people.
"How can this work! My young master requires top-grade pills for cultivation. A break in pill supply would delay his training."
"That's right, the top-grade pills can't be cut off. Senior Brother Wang, as a Pill Master, ought to empathize with us. In times of drought, he is the Dragon King who brings the rain; he can't just watch us suffer droughts, that would be too inconsiderate."
A few housekeepers and disciples spoke up, feeling anxious. Without pills for cultivation, how can that work! The speed of cultivation would greatly decline.
"If I don't acquire pills today, I fear punishment upon returning. Please help me, Housekeeper Chen!"
"Indeed, we servants, our seniors don't care about reasons, they just want to see pills."
Some servants pretended to be pitiful, as if returning without acquiring pills meant certain death.
The Immortal Dome Pavilion occupied half of the production of top-grade pills for Spirit Tier and Body Refining levels at the Immortal Martial Mountain. If it closes, it's very bad news for disciples in the Body Refining Realm and Human Immortal Realm.
The housekeeper looked on coldly, while the complaints and commotion only grew louder, truly unreasonable. Housekeeper Chen burst out: "Why the noise!
If you can't give the Mountain Lord what he wants, naturally you won't get pills. This is fair trade, there's nothing to say.
Since the old rules allowed loopholes, it was our mistake at the Immortal Dome Pavilion, or perhaps we were too generous, too overestimating you.
Given this, closing the Immortal Dome Pavilion isn't a problem!
Leave, leave, a closure is a closure, there's no room for negotiation. When our Mountain Lord feels better, perhaps he will reopen.
Maybe he'll never reopen again."
The people of the Immortal Dome Pavilion lingered here endlessly, unwilling to leave, sighing incessantly.
What is this situation!
The Celestial Treasure defects they kept had no use at all. If they had known the Immortal Dome Pavilion would close, they wouldn't have clung to the Celestial Treasure defects but used them to exchange for top-grade pills.
...
No matter how much fussing below the mountain, Wang Xuan doesn't care at all, taking the opportunity to rest a bit, he's quite tired from making so many pills daily.
He has worked so diligently on alchemy, yet those guys played tricks on him and decided to use their cleverness.
How could this please him?
If others make him unhappy, he will make them even unhappier!
"If I want to make pills, I make them. If not, what can you do about it?" Wang Xuan is just that willful, known as the Pill Master with the best quality and highest production among Spirit Tier Pill Masters at Immortal Martial Mountain.
If he dares claim he's second, no one dare claim first!
"What a shame, the recent Source Power value growth rate was quite impressive. I thought it would be long-lasting, but alas."
Wang Xuan shakes his head, earning Source Power is necessary, but he cannot rely on one channel. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Thinking it over, he directly contacted Gai Feixian, glancing at this unrestrained Sword Cultivator, asking: "Gai Feixian, do you want to buy medicine?"
If domestic sales are useless, he naturally can find a way to develop markets and engage in external sales. Naturally, for places like Celestial Sword Mountain, his pill pricing should be ruthless, squeezing more Celestial Treasure defects.
Top-grade pills are rare items, always in short supply, and every faction needs them. Celestial Sword Mountain is no exception.
Even though he finds Zhao Hao irritating, Celestial Sword Mountain is after all a force in the Mother Star, and one of the three giants in Hua District. For fighting and bleeding for the Mother Star, they are indeed battle allies of Immortal Martial Mountain.
Selling them some pills is not impossible.
Gai Feixian felt inexplicably puzzled: "What medicine to buy? Could it be Brother Wang you've switched careers to selling medicines?"
Wang Xuan knew he misunderstood, saying: "I'm talking about pills, and top-grade ones at that, do you want to buy?
Purchasing from me is economical, a top-grade Bone Tempering Pill priced at five million will sell to you for only one Celestial Treasure defect of any appearance tier.
A top-grade Vein Strengthening Pill priced at twenty million costs you only one middling Earth Grade Celestial Treasure defect. A top-grade Peaceful Spirit Pill priced at fifty million costs just one superior Earth Grade Celestial Treasure defect.
No matter how many you want, I can supply!
So, do you want to buy?"
His tone and demeanor were like those of a charlatan medicine vendor, making Gai Feixian very skeptical whether Wang Xuan was joking.
Wang Xuan was displeased: "My alchemy technique, no one in the Spirit Tier Pill Masters at Immortal Martial Mountain dares to contest. You can inquire about the prestige of 'Immortal Dome Pavilion', it's quite famous."
As a result, Gai Feixian really went to check, surprised on his face: "So the young Demon Alchemist at Immortal Martial Mountain is Brother Wang, huh! Much respect, much respect."
He was shocked inside, although Wang Xuan's cultivation level is not considered high, seemingly only at the Peak of Innate, his combat power is undeniable.
Such a Fighting Genius is already rare in his view, surely another Killing God on the battlefield in the future.
Yet such a Fighting Genius has dabbled in the path of Alchemy Dao, and achieved not inconsiderable success, truly impressive.
If he really dares to claim to be the first among Spirit Tier Pill Masters at Immortal Martial Mountain, he certainly would rank within the top five Spirit Tier Pill Masters in the Divine Land.
Regarding such an achievement and future prospects, he could only envy, regretting he couldn't transform into a revered Pill Master.
