Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 314: 314

Here many pills, materials, and inscriptions fell to the pile of things that was already overflowing on the table .

Even the majority of the floor was filled with items . The pills were all in jade bottles, the herbs in jade boxes and the inscriptions tightly rolled into scrolls .

The old man was stunned the more he saw Xue Wei withdraw from the storage treasures . Although many came with large quantities of items, it was simply nothing compared to the amount of things that Xue Wei took out .

Not to mention, these things were what people needed the most . It might seem to be common materials with a few rare materials thrown in here and there, but this was what they truly needed on Treasure Island .

When the old man saw that one of the jade vials were different, his eyes widened in shock . The jade vial was smaller than the others and clearly contained only one pill . For a pill to be placed on its own, it was likely a rare pill, and this was something he was eager to look at, but he held back .

After half the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xue Wei finally stopped emptying his storage treasures . Even the storage treasures of the Berserker Island had been thrown into the pile . They were not worth much, but even a little was worth something .

In the end, the entire room was filled to the brim with items, even the companions of Xue Wei were surprised by the sheer quantity of things he had brought with him, only Bai Tianyi knew it was not even half of the items he had in his storage treasure .

Over the years he had killed and looted quite a few people’s items . At the same time, he had also managed to buy a lot of ingredients not to mention all the stuff the citizens of Yan Dalu had thrown to him before he left .

Clearing his throat, the old man had been stunned for some time . "I will start looking through this," he said . "I will suggest that the common materials are sold at market value, and the rarer things will be sold at an auction . We have an auction that takes place seven days later . If you have time to attend this auction, then you will be able to earn a much larger amount of essence stones . "

Xue Wei contemplated . He was not sure how long they planned on staying on Treasure Island, but a week should be possible to delay their travel .

The ambassador had already started the process of selling their ship, and he would need to accommodate a new one before they could leave anyway .

Making a decision on his own, he quickly agreed to the idea of the auction seven days later .

Nodding his head, the old man began to sort and take inventory of the items . The further into the pile he got, the bigger his eyes became .

When he opened the jade vial he had looked at from the start, he almost forgot to breathe .

"A rainbow pill!" he exclaimed filled with shock in his eyes and shortly after he looked at Xue Wei with fervent eyes .

"I see that you have many pills, can this old one assume that you are the alchemist behind the Rainbow Pill?"

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes while contemplating whether or not he should lie, but after considering it, an alchemist was a respected profession . If he could use it to add a layer of protection towards himself and his friends, then it was worth it .

"I am indeed the one who refined the rainbow pill," Xue Wei admitted, and the eyes of the old man shone with a cunning light .

"What would you take in commission if I were to ask for you to refine a few batches of Rainbow Pills for my shop?"

Xue Wei had never expected this question, and his eyes narrowed further .

"I have a few requests," he said, "I will put ten Rainbow Pills up for auction seven days later, but during this auction, you are not to sell any of the Rainbow Pills I refine for you . "

This request was easy to promise for the old man . It was not worth it for him to put rainbow pills up for sale at the same time as Xue Wei, they would just end up lowering the value of each other’s pills .

"Secondly, help us, and the rest of our comrades, find somewhere to reside the next seven days we are present at Treasure Island . "

Once again, the old man quickly approved of the request .

"Finally, help us purchase a ship . "

This time the old man was confused . How had they arrived at the Treasure Island if they had not sailed on a ship? But he was not going to ask questions and just nodded his head .

Ships were all over Treasure Island, new and old ships were put up for sale all the time, so these requests that Xue Wei had were not excessive .

"Oh, and I also require a fee," Xue Wei continued . "You can pay me what you think my work is worth . "

Xue Wei was not sure how much it cost to hire an alchemist, he had never been commissioned before, so he was quite clueless, and as such he decided to throw the hot potato back at the old man instead .

The old man chuckled when he heard Xue Wei’s last remark, and he nodded his head . He was not going to cause problems and underpay, but this way, he was not requesting an immense price either .

After some time, the old man had finished taking stock and had split the items into what should be sold directly and what had the quality to be put up for auction .

After looking at the price that he had to pay out, even this old man’s eyebrows could not help but raise in surprise . It was not that they could not afford it, but it was without a doubt the highest sum of money they had ever forked out like this to an unknown figure .

The old man paused for a moment, and then he said, "wait here for a moment," before he left the room in a hurry .

He returned after a few moments, and this time, he had a younger man with him . This younger man seemed very amiable, he had a friendly smile on his face and was wearing light blue robes, and his hair was tied up with a beautiful and elegant silver hairpin .

"Young masters, I am the young heir to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion," the younger man introduced himself . "I am here because Old Lao said that you had an outstanding amount of treasures and I have an offer for you . "

Hearing that there was an offer, Xue Wei frowned, but he still continued to listen, curious as to what they would offer him .

He was not afraid of them, causing havoc and stealing his items . Although the men here at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion were much stronger than him, they also had their reputation to care about . If they stole from others, then they would not have become as famous as they were today .

"A few years ago, I managed to get my hands on a pill recipe," the young heir said when he saw that Xue Wei was listening to his words . "The pill recipe is no simple recipe, but a two-colored Rainbow Pill," he continued .

"I have, for a long time, been looking for someone who can refine this pill for me, but it is hard to find someone .

"My offer to you is this . You have items here for three million, seven hundred and ninety-seven thousand essence stones . If you give me one million seven hundred and ninety-seven thousand essence stones and refine one two-colored Rainbow Pill for me, provided I produce the materials, then I will let you have the recipe . "

Xue Wei felt his heart beat faster when he heard that there was actually a two-colored Rainbow Pill recipe here at the Treasure Island .

This was what he had hoped for, but he had not dared to get his hopes too high . First of all he was not sure if there was any, and even if there was, would he really be able to get it?

But now, because he had dumped some items, he was offered a formula and all he had to do was concoct a pill, at the same time as he would have to pay a strange amount of essence stones .

"I am willing," Xue Wei did not try to stand on ceremony but instantly nodded his head . "I have some sets of ingredients needed to refine a two-colored Rainbow Pill, so I can attempt it a few times before I make yours, to improve the success rate . "

While Xue Wei was ecstatic about the pill recipe, the young heir was also elated . The essence stones did not matter much, but if they could get a few two-colored Rainbow Pills, then it would be much more worth it than a recipe that no one could use .

In the end, both the young heir and Xue Wei felt that they had benefited from the other side, and they were suddenly very amicable towards one another .

The young heir quickly sent someone to fetch the essence stones alongside the recipe, and Xue Wei promptly found all the items he needed to refine the pill .

"Can you lend me a refining room?" he asked, and the heir was simply over the moon to hear he was willing to go into refining right away .

"Of course!" he promised .

"I have to trouble you then," Xue Wei smiled before he turned to Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, Luoluo and Bai Tianyi .

"While I am creating two-colored Rainbow Pills, I need you to go to the harbor and tell the ambassador that we are staying for a week . gather all our men and bring them to the lodgings that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion has promised to prepare for us . "

The heir had not heard about the fact that they had to prepare accommodation for his men, but thinking about the fact that an alchemist who could create two-colored Rainbow Pills would owe him a favor he quickly smiled and called for a few servants to prepare rooms for them all .

After sorting this, he personally led Xue Wei to a refining room, while the old man led Xue Wei’s companions down the stairs and out the pavilion .

Many were curiously looking at these people to determine their background, but no matter how they looked, they all seemed completely new to Treasure Island .

After they exited the pavilion, the old man quickly started spreading rumors of the one-colored Rainbow pills that would emerge at their next auction, and the knowledge that rainbow pills alongside rare materials were appearing was enough to cause excitement for all of those who heard it .

Slowly the auction seven days from then became the focal point of all in Treasure City; everyone was excited to show up at the auction and see what could be won with their fortunes .

Rumors even made it out to sea, and many of the closest pirate fleets and even some factions from other islands hurried towards the auction .

While all of this was happening, Hei Gou and the others were cultivating in the provided chambers by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and Xue Wei was deeply buried in refining pills .

He still had a significant number of materials, but he had failed three times before he managed to refine a two-colored Rainbow Pill successfully .

This pill was exchanged with the Thousand Treasure Pavilion for a set of ingredients before he once more dove headfirst into concocting medicine .

After ten attempts, he was sitting with six pills, not at all a bad result .

It had, however, taken him five days to create these six pills, it was a labor-intensive procedure, and even worse was that when he failed, it was always at the merging process, the final process, and thus he would have to spend a long time recuperating before he could attempt another try .
