Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 233: Business

Yao Guan, Tang Man, and Zhang Chen frowned when they heard that.

After all, cultivation and survival were closely related to pills.

Without pills, how would Zhang Chen heal his injuries or replenish his qi?

Most importantly, how could he survive without using qi?

No matter how close their relationship was, Yao Guan and Tang Man did not want to take care of a burden and Zhang Chen was very unwilling to entrust his life to his senior brothers.

Thinking of this, the three looked at each other and then turned to Shen Xu.

"Alchemist Shen, please think of something." Zhang Chen begged and quickly continued.

"The secret realm has just opened and there are many dangers that can’t be overcome without using pills and qi. Please think of a way."

"Alchemist Shen, please think of a way to detoxify our junior brother. We are willing to give a generous reward." Yao Guan said.

Rather than drag a burden, he was more willing to pay a hefty price.

After all, the secret realm had just opened and there were many opportunities to be found. Even if they suffered a little bit, they would be able to recover their losses in the following years

However, even as he begged for help, Yao Guan was very aggrieved.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t go so far to save a fellow sect disciple.

Unfortunately, before they entered the secret realm, their master made them swear that they would protect each other.

Because of this, they couldn’t harm, frame, or abandon each other.

’What a bother!’ Yao Guan silently cursed but what could he do?

"It’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s that I don’t know how to help." Shen Xu said in a solemn voice.

"You should place Daoist Zhang in a portable cave. That way, he won’t encounter danger and can hide away until you find a detoxifying treasure or a more capable alchemist." Zhen Yuan suggested.

Hearing this, the three looked at each other.

After thinking about it, they felt the idea was not bad.

However, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little unwilling.

After all, he couldn’t find opportunities while hiding in a portable cave.

"There is no other choice." Yao Guan said and Tang Man nodded before speaking.

"Junior brother, don’t worry. We will try to find pure light water or a level six alchemist as soon as possible."

"Thank you, brothers." Zhang Chen said in a resigned voice.

Soon after, he entered a portable cave and Yao Guan shrunk it and hid it in his left sleeve.

"Alchemist Shen, thank you for examining our junior brother." Tang Man said, handing over a storage bag.

Seeing this, Shen Xu didn’t hesitate.

"Sorry I couldn’t be of more help." He said while transferring the payment to his space ring.

Although the payment was only one hundred thousand spirit stones, Shen Xu didn’t despise it.

After all, he only diagnosed but didn’t cure the person.

"Alchemist Shen, us brothers have been in the Endless Sun Desert for more than eight years and have used many of the pills we brought to the secret realm. Can we order some pills from you?" Tang Man asked and Shen Xu almost broke out in a happy dance.

"I am willing but you must provide the spirit grasses. Also, the reward cannot be less than that charged by the alchemist association." Shen Xu said.

Hearing this, Yao Guan and Tang Man looked at each other.

Generally, the alchemist association charged half a furnace and a sum of spirit stones.

However, this was just a baseline and most alchemists were not so generous.

Instead of half a furnace, they usually delivered two to three pills for three sets of materials.

Thinking of this, Yao Guan and Tang Man couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

After all, water leaf grasses were hard to find.

If they only received two or three pills for three sets of materials, they would definitely be at a loss.

"Alchemist Shen, can we discuss this matter?" Tang Man asked.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xu questioned.

"We are willing to pay more spirit stones in exchange for more pills."

When he heard this, Shen Xu fell silent and didn’t immediately refuse the offer.

After all, he had enough pills and could refine more whenever he wanted.

However, he didn’t immediately agree.

Instead, he pretended to consider and then looked at the two.

"It depends on the pills you want to order." He finally said.

"We want healing pills, qi replenishing pills, detoxifying pills, and water leaf grass pills."

"You can have the entire furnace of healing pills, qi replenishing pills, and detoxifying pills. As for the water leaf grass pills, I will give you six pills for every three sets of materials. If you want more, you will have to use spirit stones to buy them. What do you think?"

"We agree." Yao Guan immediately said.

After all, Shen Xu’s offer was more generous than they expected.

"What about the spirit stones reward?" Tang Man asked.

"I will charge one hundred thousand spirit stones for each furnace of healing pills and qi replenishing pills, two hundred thousand for each furnace of detoxifying pills, and one million for each furnace of water leaf grass pills."

"This..." Tang Man and Yao Guan couldn’t help but be shocked.

"Alchemist Shen, isn’t this too expensive?" Yao Guan asked and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"I only refine high grade pills." Shen Xu declared in a proud voice.

"High grade pills?" Tang Man and Yao Guan looked at each other.

If the pills were high-grade, the reward was fair.

However, Yao Guan and Tang Man didn’t believe that Shen Xu could consistently refine high-grade pills.

"Don’t worry. I will lower the price if the pills are not high grade." The double assured.

’It’s not a loss to buy high-grade pills at that price. However, we should sign a contract just in case.’ Tang Man thought and subtly nodded at his senior brother.

However, before they could say anything, Zhen Yuan spoke first.
