Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 147: All hail junior brother!

The Alchemy Hall disciples were surprised by how quickly I admitted this.

They were even a bit confused as to why I seemed so confident.

This made them forget their anger for a bit as they wanted to see what I would have to say.

I knew that it would have this effect, which was why I had said it like this.

So after a pause to let this sink in, I continued in the same confident manner, "I know that this means that I will be taking an opportunity from one of you, so I want to give you some kind of compensation."

Their eyes immediately lit up when they heard this.

Since they recognized who I was, all of them knew that my compensation would be very generous.

But they didn’t let their emotions show on their faces since they knew that this alchemy competition was also a big opportunity, so they wanted to see if this compensation was something that could make up for this.

I could see what they were thinking, so I continued without any hesitation.

"I know that it would be unfair if I were to only offer one of you compensation since there’s no knowing what could happen. As such, I wish to offer all of you compensation on this matter." I said in a confident voice still.

Their eyes lit up once again, but they still held themselves back since the main topic hadn’t been revealed yet.

What was the compensation?

A smile slowly crept onto my face as I said, "The compensation that I will be offering all of you will be ten First Grade Herbs each and a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones each."

There was only silence that followed after I said this because all of them were now looking at me with shock.

One of them was rubbing their eyes, one of them was picking their ears, and...

"Ow, what did you pinch me for?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Pinch yourself then!"

None of them seemed to believe what they were hearing at this moment.

They just stared at me in shock and disbelief.

That was until I took out a piece of fruit.

The moment that this piece of fruit appeared, there were waves of spiritual energy that filled the room. This spiritual energy was so strong that the senior brothers and sisters couldn’t help taking a few steps back.

Even Elder Wang couldn’t help taking a step back in the face of this wave of spiritual energy.

However, not a single one of them turned away when they saw this fruit come out.

That was because they realized from the wave of spiritual energy that it released that this thing was anything but ordinary. They recognized from this wave of spiritual energy that this piece of fruit was a First Grade Herb!

This was not something that any of the disciples had seen before.

Even Elder Wang had rarely seen anything like this, but there was something different about this fruit that Lin Fan took out.

It was simply that this fruit was too strong compared to the other First Grade Herbs that he had seen before. It was clear that this fruit was on a completely different level compared to the other First Grade Herbs.

But the most shocking thing was what Lin Fan did next.

I just casually pulled out a knife and started cutting into the fruit.

I did it so fast that none of them were able to react in time to stop me, but they all screamed out for me to stop once I cut into it.

I looked at them with one brow raised and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Elder Wang came up right in front of me so that his face was in my face as he said, "What’s wrong? What do you think you’re doing to this First Grade Herb? Do you not understand what you’ve just done?!"

All of the disciples nodded in agreement to what Elder Wang said.

I just raised a brow and asked, "How are we supposed to eat it if I don’t peel it first?"

"Eat it?" They said in confused voices before coming forward to scold me at the same time.

They all said that this was a waste of heavenly resources, but...they stopped scolding me after a while and looked at the fruit that was in my hand.

When that happened, I just finished cutting up the fruit with a bitter smile on my face and handed it to them piece by piece.

Each of them quickly took the piece that they were offered and stuck it into their mouths.

There were looks of ecstasy that appeared on their faces after they tasted this fruit, but then they quickly sat down with their legs crossed. From the waves of spiritual energy that were coming from them, it seemed like their cultivation was increasing.

I was used to seeing high level cultivators eating these high level elixirs, so this was my first time seeing lower level cultivators eating these high level elixirs. It seemed that the effect on them was quite good as it allowed them to break through right away.

Though it was strange that it didn’t have the same effect on me and my lackeys even though we were eating the same thing...

Regardless, that wasn’t what was important.

There was something else that I had to say.

"Unfortunately, I can’t give you everything today. It’ll take me three days to prepare all the things, so I hope that you will wait patiently for me. Of course, I’ll be able to bring out a hundred a day, so I’ll be giving them to you all in order."

As they were listening to this, many of them opened their eyes to look at me with a curious gaze before closing them again to finish with their breakthrough.

Elder Wang also looked at me with a strange look, but he didn’t say anything either.

When they all finished their breakthroughs, they looked at each other with excited looks before saying, "All hail junior brother! We can never go wrong if we follow our junior brother!"

It seemed like they had accepted my bribe. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

They even lifted me up as if they were celebrating me even though I had taken a spot from them.

After all, comparing the two...there was no comparison at all.

Winning the alchemy tournament would never give the same reward as these ten First Grade Herbs.
