This time I’m going to make a fortune

After the two Silverhorn warriors bowed, they hurried away, and Su Lang did not stop them.

He turned and walked towards a pill shop he had seen earlier, while continuing to eavesdrop on the conversations of the surrounding Silverhorn people.

Before he even reached the pill shop, Su Lang noticed that these Silverhorn people were speaking in two languages.

Furthermore, he discovered that one of them was the Silverhorn native language, and the other was the common language, used by countless races on the Canglan Continent.

“So there’s a common language after all. It makes sense; how could such a prosperous martial arts civilization develop if all races couldn’t communicate!”

Su Lang realized this and then entered the pill shop.

“Welcome, sir!”

As soon as he stepped into the shop, a Silverhorn person came up to Su Lang, looking respectful and humble.

“I’m just looking around.”

Su Lang waved his hand indifferently and looked around on his own.

The shop was not large, but it was bustling with people, looking like business was booming.

Inside, there were several counters, and many Silverhorn warriors who looked like servants were attending to customers.

When Su Lang entered, the voices of the Silverhorn warriors became much quieter.

A richly dressed Silverhorn person, seeing Su Lang dismiss the previous attendant, quickly came forward to greet him.

He was the shopkeeper.

“I’ll look by myself.”

Su Lang still waved his hand, and the shopkeeper remained silent, respectfully following at a distance.

Most of what was displayed on the counters were pills below Rank 10, with fewer King-grade pills and no Emperor-grade pills in sight.

However, there were many unprocessed alchemy materials, and their quality was not low!

“Give me that pill.”

Su Lang pointed to a bottle of King-grade pills and said.

“Yes, sir!”

The Silverhorn shopkeeper, who was standing behind the counter, quickly retrieved the pill bottle and handed it to Su Lang.

Su Lang opened the stopper and looked inside, a strange expression appearing on his face.

The pill in the bottle was indeed a King-grade pill; there was no doubt about that.

But what struck Su Lang as odd was that this King-grade pill was actually refined using Emperor-grade main ingredients and some King-grade auxiliary ingredients!

“What the heck, using Emperor-grade main ingredients to refine a King-grade pill? How unskilled are the alchemists of this Silverhorn race!”

Su Lang rolled his eyes, silently complaining in his heart.

However, he quickly understood something.

On Blue Star, alchemy materials were extremely precious, so alchemists naturally tried their best to refine high-grade pills using low-grade materials.

But on the Canglan Continent, resources were abundant, so those alchemists simply used high-grade materials to refine low-grade pills.

“What a waste of resources.”

Su Lang couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Then he asked, “How many spirit stones for this bottle of pills?”

“Reporting, sir!”

The shopkeeper respectfully replied, “This bottle of King-grade pills contains 6 pills, of superior quality, valued at 12 million low-grade spirit stones.”

“!”

Su Lang was startled.

A superior-grade King-grade pill on Blue Star was worth at most 600,000 low-grade spirit stones, which was 60 superior-grade spirit stones.

But here, it was worth 200 superior-grade spirit stones!

The price had tripled!

And looking at the King-grade materials displayed on the counters, even the main ingredients were only twenty to thirty superior-grade spirit stones!

Including other main ingredients, a set of King-grade pill materials would cost no more than 50 superior-grade spirit stones.

This price seemed to have already reached the price of a superior-grade King-grade pill on Blue Star.

But this was the Canglan Continent, so it couldn't be compared.

“It seems I’m really going to make a fortune this time!”

Su Lang was excited and then asked, “If this pill were of perfect quality, how much would one be worth?”

The Silverhorn shopkeeper replied, “Reporting, sir, it would be worth 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones!”

“Indeed, perfect quality pills are precious everywhere!”

Su Lang nodded to himself, then put the pill back in its place, and asked about the prices of Emperor-grade and Venerable-grade pills.

As for lower-grade pills, their prices were written on the counter, so there was no need to ask specifically.

After asking, Su Lang nodded, then shook his head, and turned to leave somewhat disappointed.

“???”

The shopkeeper looked at Su Lang’s departing back, completely bewildered.

The customers also looked at each other, wondering why this powerful individual had suddenly left.

“Could it be that he can’t afford it?”

“No way, how could a Venerable-grade figure not afford King-grade pills?”

“This powerful individual seems to be a Venerable-grade big shot, how could he not know the value of Venerable-grade pills?”

“He looked very disappointed when he left; it’s really strange…”

Everyone discussed for a bit, but soon put it out of their minds.

After a moment of frustration, the shopkeeper also shook his head, simply chalking it up to a strange encounter.
