Chapter 944: Chapter 739: Contact
Seeing Su Yuan resolutely refuse, Xiong Chunyang could only sigh deeply in regret.
"Speaking of which, I didnât expect that you, boss, could also practice alchemy?" Xiong Chunyang turned and said.
Su Yuan casually replied, "Itâs just a skill I picked up in my spare time."
A skill picked up in spare time?
Xiong Chunyang smacked his lips; a Third-level Detoxification Pillâthatâs an elixir that only a master can concoct!
Alchemists and artifact refiners donât have as many levels as the Array Path.
Concocting Third-level Elixirs and Master Star Artifacts is the mastery level; Fourth-level Elixirs and Epic Star Artifacts is grandmaster level; Fifth-level Elixirs and Legendary Holy Artifacts is grandmaster level!
Xiong Chunyang asked, "Boss, do you plan to integrate into these sea gangs by providing elixirs?"
Su Yuan replied, "Not just alchemy but also array path and others.
The Western Desert is located in the southwest of the continent, in a remote position, limited in star veins, and lacks experts adept in the Four Arts.
Now that the star sand has gradually dispersed and the archipelagos are emerging, resources are more abundant.
The Western Desert doesnât lack resources but lacks people to utilize them, so this is a good entry point.
It can gradually build Qingmingâs reputation without inciting hostility from the local sea gangs, and later, it can also attract many talents in the Four Arts."
Su Yuan, being new here, did not plan to become enemies with the local powerhouses or use force to directly subdue the major sea gangs.
If he were to subdue the major sea gangs with force, it would undoubtedly provoke strong resistance from them.
With Su Yuanâs current cultivation at the Early Sun Level, regardless of whether his strength allows it, even if he could suppress the major sea gangs by force, it would inevitably leave many problems.
Firstly, violent suppression could lead to internal backlash; secondly, it would inevitably consume some elite forces of the gangs in the process.
Then, with internal discord and lack of personnel, what could be used to govern the entire Western Desert?
Force is only a last resort.
Interests and benefits are the key to making these people willingly align with me...
Not long after, Li Su returned.
And it wasnât just Li Su returning; he was followed by a group of people from the Storm Alliance.
The leader was a thin man wearing a tight outfit with a cross-shaped scar on his face, named Qiu Fengyin, who was the Branch Leader of the Storm Alliance in Zhao Yue City.
Qiu Fengyin followed Li Su up and was quite surprised to see Su Yuan.
Li Su himself was at the Full Moon Level, and he didnât expect the "boss" he spoke of to be so young.
Qiu Fengyin carefully examined Su Yuan; aside from discerning that he was not a local, he couldnât see much more.
When Su Yuan saw Qiu Fengyin so impatiently bringing people over, he roughly understood the other partyâs urgent need for Detoxification Pills.
"Can you concoct Detoxification Pills?" Qiu Fengyin asked.
Su Yuan nodded, "The Detoxification Pills sent earlier were precisely what I concocted in these days."
Qiu Fengyinâs eyes lit up, "May I know how to address you?"
"Su Yuan."
Qiu Fengyin smiled, "Master Su, Iâll be direct; would Master Su be willing to join our Storm Alliance?
We currently have two alchemy masters, and the treatment is very generous. As long as Master Su is willing to join, you certainly wonât be disappointed!"
The Storm Alliance indeed has two alchemy masters, but as far as Su Yuan knows, one of them is already very old, not to mention how long heâll live, but his alchemy efficiency can be said to be quite low, almost equivalent to half a person.
Now the Storm Alliance is effectively one and a half alchemy masters; combined with some alchemists and apprentices, in face of the situation of Poison Mushroom Island, the efficiency of concocting Detoxification Pills is naturally not enough.
As for why Qiu Fengyin phrased it this way, his true intention was obviously to lower the price... lowering the value of the alchemy master, lowering the price of the Detoxification Pill.
Su Yuan shook his head, "Our Qingming only wants to do business, to provide some Detoxification Pills to help your alliance solve the problem of members being poisoned. As for joining your alliance, we donât have that idea at the moment."
"Qingming..." Qiu Fengyin murmured.
Previously, when Li Su came forward, he also mentioned selling Detoxification Pills on behalf of "Qingming." Now it seems this "Qingming" might just be this small group of people in front of him.
Qiu Fengyinâs gaze swept over Su Yuan, the nearby Ruan Ruan, and Xiong Chunyang...
Beside Xiong Chunyang, who was at the Waning Moon Stage, he couldnât discern the cultivation of the others.
After a brief consideration, Qiu Fengyin said, "Our Storm Alliance welcomes heroes from all over. If Master Su and your group can entirely join us, as the Branch Leader of Zhao Yue, I can promise you the best treatment!"
Su Yuan internally chuckled, with your previous price-lowering tricks, what kind of best treatment could you possibly offer?
"I appreciate your regard, but we are used to being free. Letâs just talk business."
Qiu Ming, being a gang member, is not someone easy to deal with. Seeing Su Yuan refusing repeatedly without even discussing terms, he couldnât help but frown, with faint anger in his eyes.
At this moment, a flash from Su Yuanâs ring revealed a box.
The nearby Ruan Ruan opened the box, which was filled with the kind of alchemy boxes Li Su had previously provided.
"100 Third-level Detoxification Pills. Is this enough to alleviate your allianceâs urgent needs?" Su Yuan said calmly.
Qiu Fengyinâs pupils contracted, and he promptly stepped forward to open several boxes. Each contained 5 Detoxification Pills!
This many Detoxification Pills!
Qiu Fengyinâs heart surged with joy; this was truly a timely arrival!
At least with these 100 Third-level Detoxification Pills, those alliance members lying poisoned could recover.
Qiu Fengyin hurriedly asked, "Master Su, are all these elixirs for sale?"
"Of course."
"With such a large quantity, the price should be a bit cheaper, right?"
Su Yuan said, "Sure, letâs sell at 80% of the current market price."
A Third-level Elixir is around a thousand Cent Star Stones, and Detoxification Pills are quite common, priced at seven to eight hundred each.
But now the price of Detoxification Pills has surged several times, reaching 4000 cents each; 100 pills would be 40,000 and 80% of that is 32,000!
Qiu Fengyin waved his hand, "Too expensive! Master Su, the current price of Detoxification Pills is already inflated, and weâll keep buying them. How about 70%?"
Su Yuan didnât say more and took a sip of tea.
Seeing this, Li Su immediately stepped in, "Branch Leader Qiu, the important thing now is not how expensive Detoxification Pills are, but how many there are!
If we gather a bit more treasures on the island, wonât the cost of these Detoxification Pills be returned?
The Storm Alliance is large and wealthy, and tens of thousands of Star Stones are just a drop in the ocean for your strongholdâs might, right?"
Qiu Fengyin looked at Su Yuan sipping tea, and then at the full boxes of Detoxification Pills.
Indeed, these Detoxification Pills, even if not discounted, must be bought!
Qiu Fengyin pretended to think deeply, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, 80% it is, consider it as Qiu Fengyin making a friend with Master Su!"
Su Yuan put down the teacup and smiled, "These elixirs will resolve the urgent needs of the Storm Alliance. From now on, Iâll produce 100 Third-level Detoxification Pills every week."
"100 every week?" Qiu Ming was surprised, "Really?!"
Not only were Qiu Ming and others from the Storm Alliance stunned, but even Li Su and Xiong Chunyang looked at Su Yuan in shock.
Refining Detoxification Pills, even for an Alchemy Master, is about one furnace per day on average, right?
One furnace produces four to five pills, totaling only twenty to thirty pills a week, how can Su Yuan produce 100?
Su Yuan maintained a calm demeanor, "Of course."
Qiu Fengyin felt delighted; it seems there is more than just Su Yuan as an alchemist in Qingming.
You should know that the Storm Allianceâs "one and a half" Alchemy Masters can produce at most 50 Third-level Detoxification Pills, and the elixirs made by other alchemists and apprentices are limited in effect on Poison Mushroom Islandâs toxins.
If Su Yuan can indeed produce an extra 100 Third-level Detoxification Pills every week, then a grand exploration of Poison Mushroom Island can happen, and he will achieve great merit!
Thinking of this, Su Yuanâs Qingming suddenly became a prized asset in Qiu Fengyinâs eyes.
"Alright then, itâs a deal!" Qiu Fengyin immediately took out 32,000 Star Stones and placed them on the table, "If Master Su has other needs, feel free to find me at the branch, and Iâll handle it if possible!"
"Branch Leader Qiu is really generous." Su Yuan smiled and then looked at Li Su, "Letâs do it this way, Li Su, see Branch Leader Qiu off properly."
"Yes, this way please, Branch Leader Qiu!" Li Su immediately stepped forward to see him off.
Qiu Fengyin originally didnât plan to leave so soon, he still wanted to probe Su Yuan and Qingmingâs background.
But Su Yuan was so straightforward that Qiu Fengyin couldnât stay any longer; he could only scrutinize Su Yuan again before saying goodbye and leaving with his men.
After seeing Qiu Fengyin off, Li Su returned to the room, "Boss, theyâre all gone, and that Branch Leader Qiu even covered a monthâs inn fee for us."
"Is this a hint for us not to wander around?" Su Yuan laughed it off without much concern.
Xiong Chun pouted, "Not just that, Qiu Fengyin also left several spies behind."
Su Yuan said, "No matter, since Branch Leader Qiu is so âgenerous,â letâs stay and enjoy our time here."
This Qiu Fengyin, on the surface warm and generous, conceals quite a few thoughts.
However, Su Yuan didnât mind because he never intended to leave anyway.
Su Yuan pondered slightly, his gaze resting on Xiong Chunyangâs face.
"Chunyang."
"What orders do you have, boss?"
Su Yuan said, "Given the current situation, you can return now."
"Hmm?" Xiong Chunyang was momentarily stunned, not expecting it to come so soon.
Su Yuan took out a letter and placed it on the table, "This contains detailed information about the Bright Light Association matter, as well as my progress and plans so far.
Moreover, youâve been of great help along the way, and Iâve mentioned your performance in the letter."
"This...," Xiong Chunyang scratched his head, "I havenât helped much."
Su Yuan shook his head, smiling, "Without you, I would have been groping in the dark when entering the Western Desert.
The Western Desert situation isnât something that can be resolved quickly, the domestic situation is much more tense and requires more manpower.
You should return to Great Flame now and report this matter as well."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Chunyang sighed inwardly, even though he wanted to stay with Su Yuan longer, he knew his task was indeed over.
In terms of familiarity with the Western Desert, Li Su is naturally more knowledgeable.
Of course, being able to accompany the Su Imperial Envoy in such a maneuver is already enough to boast about.
Xiong Chunyang took the letter, joined his hands in a salute, and solemnly said, "Yes, I shall follow the Su Imperial Envoyâs command!"
Su Yuan raised his hand to open the Space Gate, "Be careful on your way."
Xiong Chunyang nodded again and then stepped into it, carrying the letter...
