Chapter 1966

Late at night, Yang Kai returned to his residence with a depressed look on his face.

Today’s trip was not very smooth. Although he visited many shops, either those shops cherished their own prescriptions like treasures and would not easily show them to outsiders, or they offered sky-high prices, leaving Yang Kai helpless. Moreover, the prescriptions that those shops were willing to sell were all some prescriptions that were basically useless.

The truly useful and popular prescriptions, they simply wouldn’t take them out for sale.

Yang Kai certainly wouldn’t be a sucker.

He could also understand the practices of those shops. The prescriptions of each shop were all improved and refined by many alchemists and were regarded as their own trade secrets. How could they easily show them to outsiders?

So he had to seriously consider Kang Siran’s proposal.

The next two days passed peacefully.

On the third day, Yang Kai came to the Spirit Pill Workshop again.

It seemed that Kangsiran had given prior instructions. The shop assistant immediately greeted Yang Kai with great enthusiasm and a smile on his face, saying, “You’ve come, sir. Please come in. The shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating for him to lead the way in front.

He still entered the private room from last time. Seeing that Yang Kai was indeed as punctual and trustworthy as agreed before, Kangsiran’s old face broke into a wide smile. He warmly invited Yang Kai to take a seat, poured him tea, and then took out a piece of paper from his space ring and handed it to Yang Kai, saying, “This is the list of pill formulas that Young Master Yang needed before. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied！”

Yang Kai thanked him and took the list of pill formulas to browse through.

Just by taking a glance, Yang Kai couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.

Because on this list of pill formulas, there were actually the formulas of forty or fifty kinds of pills. He looked at them one by one carefully. The first one on the list was actually the Source Coagulation Pill that he needed.

And further down, although he had already mastered most of the pill formulas, the pill formula was not something that remained unchanged. According to the differences in the geographical environment and the production of materials, in different regions, a pill formula could give rise to many different versions and the effects of the refined pills were also somewhat different.

So even for the pill formulas that he had already mastered, he could also draw on some experience from the pill formulas of this Lingdan Workshop and improve them, which was not without value.

There were only about a dozen or so prescriptions for elixirs that he didn’t have out of the forty to fifty kinds of elixir prescriptions.

However, such a result had already made Yang Kai extremely satisfied. He nodded and put down that piece of paper.

Kang Siran had a pair of sharp eyes and had been observing Yang Kai’s expression. How could he not know that Yang Kai was already tempted? Immediately, he asked, “Young Master Yang, are you satisfied with the catalogue provided by this old man?”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Shopkeeper Kang has put his heart into it. These elixir prescriptions are not easy to come by, right？”

Kang Siran laughed and said, “Young Master Yang has sharp eyes. Only a small part of these elixir prescriptions are owned by our elixir workshop. The others were obtained by this old man from some old friends. They are not any commercial secrets, so Young Master Yang doesn’t need to worry.”

“Does your workshop operate so many kinds of elixirs？ Does this mean that if I refine elixirs here, I need to refine all of these elixirs？”

“No, no, no.” Kang Siran quickly waved his hand. “The elixirs mainly operated by our workshop are the top fifteen elixirs on this catalogue. We don’t sell the others. Mainly because there are not many martial artists who need them, and there is not much profit either. Especially that Source Condensing Pill is the top priority of our elixir workshop. It’s not this old man boasting, the Source Condensing Pills refined by our elixir workshop are at least ten percent more effective than the ones on the market and are very popular among the martial artists in Fenglin City.”

“Why is this？” Yang Kai was extremely surprised.

Actually, he had also noticed before that many martial artists who came to the Elixir Workshop to buy elixirs needed the Source Condensing Pill, and these martial artists were undoubtedly all Void King Realm.

Upon hearing this, Kang Siran smiled proudly. Stroking his beard, he said in a composed manner： “Because our source-condensing pill formula was personally improved by Master Huangfu from the headquarters！”

After saying that, Kang Siran seemed to realize that Yang Kai was somewhat ignorant and hastily added: “Master Huangfu is an imperial alchemist and enjoys a great reputation throughout the Star Boundary!”

Yang Kai was shocked upon hearing this！

Only then did he understand why the source-condensing pills were so popular. It turned out that it was a pill formula personally improved by a Master Alchemist. In this case, it was only natural that the effect was a little better than that of other people’s source-condensing pills.

However, this was great news for Yang Kai.

Because what he needed most now was the source-condensing pill. Refining pills with the formula improved by a master alchemist would naturally be of great help to him. Perhaps, he could also spy some mystery from that pill formula.

“Hehe, Young Master Yang, I have been frank and open. I wonder if Young Master Yang you…” Kang Siran looked at Yang Kai with a smile. At this moment, he was not as eager as before because he had seen from Yang Kai’s expression and tone that Yang Kai would probably Youdaoplaceholder0 join the elixir workshop.

Sure enough, as expected, Yang Kai nodded upon hearing this and said： “It is my honor to refine pills for your workshop. I will trouble Shopkeeper Kang to take care of me in the next two months.”

“That’s all right!” Kang Siran laughed heartily. The haze that had covered his face for days finally disappeared and he was in a very good mood.

The current situation of the Lingdan Workshop can be said to be stretched. Because of the good sales opened up by the Source Coagulation Pill, the Lingdan Workshop has always had a continuous stream of customers. Before, there were three Void King-level alchemists sitting in the town, and the refined spirit pills could barely keep up with the sales. But when two of them were poached by the Danqi Pavilion of the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce, the last remaining one worked overtime and worked hard to refine, but still couldn’t make ends meet.

Now the Source Coagulation Pills of the Lingdan Workshop are completely in short supply, causing many old customers who come to buy pills to complain continuously.

Doing business pays attention to a long-term flow of water. Once the source of goods is lacking, it is very likely to lose many customers, which is a fatal blow to the Lingdan Workshop.

Now it’s finally better. With Yang Kai’s joining, although it won’t return to normal all at once, it can finally take a breath. The rest is only to hold on for these two months and wait for the two alchemists transferred from the headquarters, and then everything will be fine.

“Young Master Yang, I’m a businessman, so I’ll tell the truth. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Young Master Yang.” After the great joy, Kang Siran suddenly became solemn again.

“Shopkeeper Kang, please speak！”

“Well, Young Master Yang can observe and refer to these pill formulas, and even copy them, but they must not be leaked to others. Especially the pill formula of the Source Coagulation Pill. I need Young Master Yang to sign a contract with me with a soul brand. I wonder if Young Master Yang can agree?”

“Naturally.” Yang Kai nodded readily.

“That’s very good. Then please see if this contract needs to be revised, Young Master Yang.”

Kang Siran was well prepared and directly took out the prepared contract from the space ring.

Yang Kai didn’t know what material this contract was made of for a while, but there was faintly a fluctuation of energy flowing on the contract.

Yang Kai took it in his hand and read it. The contract clearly stated the responsibilities and obligations that both parties should fulfill, especially emphasizing the issue of those pill formulas. Yang Kai was absolutely not allowed to disclose the secrets of those pill formulas.

After a while, Yang Kai nodded and said, “No problem.”

Kang Siran said, “Then please Young Master Yang and I mark on this contract together, and it will be done.”

As he spoke, he took the lead in bursting out the power of his spiritual consciousness and branded it on the contract. Although Yang Kai had never done this before, with Kang Siran’s demonstration in front, he also learned it quickly.

After the two people’s soul imprints were completely branded into the contract, the contract suddenly ignited without fire. As the contract burned, a strange force split into two levels. respectively pouring into Yang Kai and Kang Siran’s sea of consciousness.

In the dark, Yang Kai felt that there was an extra layer of mysterious restriction in his sea of consciousness. That restriction usually had no influence on him, but if he was going to disclose something that should not be disclosed, he would inevitably be backlashed by the restriction.

This thing is really a bit magical！ Yang Kai thought to himself. He didn’t know which extremely powerful and influential expert developed it. It was undoubtedly of great help to people doing business.

Kang Siran knew that Yang Kai didn’t have much experience, so he took the initiative to explain beside him： “This kind of soul contract was spread out from the Ghost Palace and was developed by the Ghost Emperor. The Ghost Emperor is one of the ten Great Emperor Venerables. The soul contract he developed can ensure the credibility of both parties to the contract. If Young Master Yang goes out to travel in the future and has to cooperate with strangers, he can sign this kind of soul contract. However, this thing is not cheap. A contract requires at least 150,000 low-grade source crystals, and it is not available even at a high price. It is extremely difficult to obtain.”

“So expensive！” Yang Kai couldn’t help but change his complexion. He only earned 30,000 low-grade source crystals by refining pills for others in the Green Feather Sect for a month. 150,000 meant that he had to refine pills for five months, and he might not be able to buy it.

“Hehe, this soul contract of the old man was also obtained accidentally during adventures in the early years.” Kang Siran had a pained expression on his face.

Although he was reluctant to use his soul contract like this, in order to keep the Spirit Pill Workshop, Kang Siran had no choice.

“Master Yang Dan, “please take care of it for the next two months.” Kang Siran restrained his pained expression and fist smiled at Yang Kai with a warm face.

“Mutual mutual！” Yang Kai replied.

“Well, since the soul contract has been signed, let’s talk about the issue of remuneration next.” Kang Siran said and then sat down. The soul contract just now only ensured that Yang Kai would not disclose the pill formula, and the reward was not written on it, which required Kang Siran and Yang Kai to discuss in detail.

And just at this time, there was a sudden knocking sound from outside.

Kang Siran frowned and shouted coldly： “What’s the matter？”

He clearly instructed that today he would discuss important matters with Yang Kai and no one was allowed to disturb, but unexpectedly there was still an unknowing man, which made him very angry.

“Shopkeeper, it’s not good. Master Fan Dan is going to leave our pill workshop. came the panicked voice of the waiter outside.

“What?” Kang Siran stood up suddenly, with a tieqing and Stunned look on his face, obviously extremely surprised.

“Shopkeeper, you should go and have a look quickly. Master Fan Dan said he won’t do it anymore.”

“This is really outrageous！” Kang Siran was furious and rushed out in a hurry when he heard the news. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of Yang Kai and said, “Will Alchemist Yang come with me？”

“Is it okay？”

“Of course it is okay. Now you are no longer an outsider！”
