The Pharmacist sub-hall of Flame Fallen City was very large.

The entire sub-hall was splendid and luxurious, as Pills were consumables, and the annual income of the Pharmacist Hall was an extremely large figure.

Although the professions of Zither Masters, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Masters, and others were almost as prestigious as that of an Alchemist.

However, Pills were always essential items for Cultivators, making Alchemist arguably the most profitable amongst these professions.

The Alchemist levels ranged from low to high, from First Grade to Ninth Grade, and above Ninth Grade was the Supreme, which was the same for Zither Masters.

Currently, in the Middle Realm, the highest-level Alchemist had reached Ninth Grade, and he was the Hall Master of the General Hall of the Pharmacist Hall.

The sub-hall of Flame Fallen City was divided into the Ordinary Trade Zone, Intermediate Trade Zone, and Upper Grade Trade Zone just for the trade area.

In the Ordinary Trade Zone, one mostly traded Spirit Grass that wasn’t too hard to find. To enter the Ordinary Trade Zone, a person needed to pay two Upper Grade Spirit Stones, and this area had the most people.

In the Intermediate Trade Zone, the traded Spirit Grass was significantly higher-end, and to enter this zone and sell one’s own Spirit Grass, a person needed to pay ten Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Moreover, once a trade was successful, the Pharmacist Hall would take a 5% profit cut.

As for the last, the Upper Grade Trade Zone, it had the fewest people. Compared to the first two zones, this one was relatively empty. Only the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures meant for true refining medicine were traded here. To enter the Upper Grade Trade Zone, every person needed to pay twenty Upper Grade Spirit Stones, and after a successful trade, the Pharmacist Hall would extract a 10% profit.

Song Guangliang led Shen Feng straight to the Upper Grade Trade Zone.

During the process of Refining Medicine, Divine Sense Power was crucial, aside from things like Lifebound Flame.

And the Spirit Enhancement Fruit that Song Guangliang obtained could enhance an Alchemist’s Divine Sense Power.

The Spirit Enhancement Fruit had the best effect on Alchemists of Sixth Grade and below. In Song Guangliang’s view, if several Alchemists competed for his Spirit Enhancement Fruit, it could possibly sell for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Upper Grade Spirit Stones. After all, Alchemists weren’t short on money.

Of course, Song Guangliang also considered taking the Spirit Enhancement Fruit to an auction, but this time he wanted to use the Spirit Enhancement Fruit to build relationships with Alchemists. In the future, asking someone to refine Pills would certainly be much easier, and even if the price of the Spirit Enhancement Fruit sold for less this time, he didn’t care.

Shen Feng followed behind Song Guangliang, and after reaching the entrance to the Upper Grade Trade Zone, indeed, very few people were coming in and out.

At the entrance stood a proud-looking young man, whose chest had an embroidered Medicine Cauldron with a small flame above it, indicating he was a First Grade Alchemist, currently responsible for collecting the entrance fee.

Although this young man had only reached the Peak of the Condensing Immortal stage, generally no one dared to barge in here unless they wanted to oppose the entire Pharmacist Hall.

When the young man saw Song Guangliang, his expression paused slightly, and a shadow passed through his eyes.

Similarly, when Song Guangliang saw the young man, he quickly approached and smiled, saying, "Haohua, what are you doing here? Have you also embarked on the path of an Alchemist? Are you now a First Grade Alchemist?"

This young man named Gu Haohua had, like Song Guangliang, been a Loose Cultivator. They had both, along with a few other Loose Cultivators, spent several years tempering themselves in the outside world.

Back then.

Gu Haohua and Song Guangliang had both fallen for the same female cultivator, but in the end, she chose Song Guangliang.

This left Gu Haohua feeling extremely dissatisfied, yet at the time, his cultivation was weaker than Song Guangliang’s, and he had not demonstrated any talent for refining medicine, so he naturally didn’t dare to sever ties with Song Guangliang.

After forcibly taking possession of the female cultivator’s body, Gu Haohua personally killed her and eventually discarded her corpse at the bottom of a mountain cliff.

Song Guangliang had thought the female cultivator simply left without saying goodbye, and later on, Gu Haohua also left this small group. Gradually, the team made up of loose cultivators disbanded.

After arriving in Flame Fallen City, Gu Haohua caught the eye of the Third Elder of the Pharmacist Hall here, who took him in as a true disciple.

Just two days ago, Gu Haohua had just stepped into the ranks of a First Grade Alchemist, indeed showing more aptitude for refining medicine than the average person.

Previously, he had been studying medicine refining intensely, so he rarely made appearances in the trade area. This was also why Song Guangliang had never encountered Gu Haohua.

Shen Feng, following behind, noticed the darkness flicker in Gu Haohua’s eyes. He slightly furrowed his brow but decided not to intervene in this matter for the time being.

Seeing Song Guangliang approaching, Gu Haohua did not confront him immediately. After pondering for a moment, he smiled warmly and said, "If it isn’t Brother Song! I have now been taken in as a true disciple by the Third Elder of the Pharmacist Hall in Flame Fallen City. What brings you to the Upper Grade trading area? Are you perhaps here to trade some heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"We fought and survived together in the past. I can waive the entrance fee for you and your friend. Would you like me to check the quality of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you’ve acquired? I’ll definitely try my best to help you fetch a good price later."

Moved by the fact that his old comrade, now a First Grade Alchemist and having surpassed him in cultivation, still addressed him as Brother Song, Song Guangliang was deeply touched. Since there was no one at the entrance to the Upper Grade trading area at the moment, he took out a Spirit Enhancement Fruit from his storage ring and said, "Haohua, since you consider me a brother, this Spirit Enhancement Fruit will surely be of use to your master."

"I can directly gift this Spirit Enhancement Fruit to your master, only asking that your master help me refine some pills once or twice in the future. I will gather the necessary spirit grass for the medicine refining."

Seeing the Spirit Enhancement Fruit that Song Guangliang had taken out, Gu Haohua became visibly unsettled. After holding the fruit in his hand, as long as he personally handed this fruit over to his master, his master, pleased, would certainly reward him with plenty of benefits.

With that in mind,

Seeing no one around, he immediately stored the Spirit Enhancement Fruit in his storage ring, and his warm expression disappeared in an instant.

Had it been someone else, he wouldn’t have dared provoke them, since fairness was required here, but he knew Song Guangliang through and through. This fellow must have merely chanced upon such a Spirit Enhancement Fruit.

Gu Haohua yelled coldly, "Get out of here now! What do you think you are? Is the Upper Grade trading area a place for you? What heavenly materials and earthly treasures for medicine refining can you even bring out?"

"You have three breaths’ time to vanish from my sight, or else I’ll have someone throw you out."

As he finished speaking,

He secretly transmitted his voice to Song Guangliang, "Trash, did you really think I’d consider you anything serious? You’re not even fit to carry my shoes. That woman didn’t choose me, but I enjoyed her body and personally sent her on her way. You, Song Guangliang, will always be nothing but a loser in front of me." freewēbnoveℓ.com

Initially taken aback by Gu Haohua’s sudden change of face, Song Guangliang was briefly stunned. However, upon hearing the other’s transmitted voice, his emotions spiraled out of control. He had been in love with that female cultivator, always thinking she had left without a word, and even harbored a heartache over it. He could have never imagined that Gu Haohua, that bastard, could have done such heartless deeds.

Song Guangliang’s aura skyrocketed in an instant, which made Gu Haohua’s smile grow even more exuberant. Everything was proceeding according to his plan; if Song Guangliang took action, he would have the perfect excuse to kill him outright. Glancing at Shen Feng, who was only at the Middle Stage of Condensing Immortal, he transmitted coldly, "Kid, don’t blame me. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that you have a friend like Song Guangliang. You too will have to accompany him on his journey."
