“This is… This is…”

Gordon took the fire crystal from Li Tianxiang’s hand and held it in his palm. He closed his eyes and felt the elemental power contained within. After a long time, he opened his eyes.

“This is a high-grade fire crystal!”

In fact, the moment the crystal appeared, the system prompted Li Tianxiang about this. However, it wasn’t a high-leveled crystal but a Level-3 crystal. Thus, it seemed that there should be an even higher-leveled elemental crystal.

Interestingly enough, both the extraction of earth crystals following recrystallization and the purification of its core triggered a notification from the Heavenly Market System.

On the other hand, two new chapters, the [Earth Crystals] and [Fire Crystals] chapters, as well as the method to obtain them that he already knew about, appeared in the Global Farming Guide.

Based on his many years of experience in management simulation games, Li Tianxiang quickly realized that this so-called Heavenly Market System was likely an additional system similar to downloadable content available for games.

The purpose of the Heavenly Market System was to allow farm owners to build their own “market” in “Heaven” to obtain the specialties of each world. This could be used to contribute to the construction of the farm.

For example, elemental crystals like earth crystals had completely different value in the space where the farm was located compared to this magical world of the West.

Even though the price of the elemental crystals was very expensive in both spaces, the price in the farm system was like a reminder to the farm owners. They should not even think about exchanging the rewards that had obtained from completing the system mission to obtain these crystals.

After all, the first user to complete a mission in the entire server could only get one million gold coins. Meanwhile, the system required 500,000 gold coins in exchange for one crystal. Only Demeter, the God of Agriculture, could do such a thing.

Therefore, this price was obviously a reminder to the farm owners that they should mainly use other methods to obtain earth crystals. The only problem was whether he was the only one who had the Heavenly Market System, or that everyone had the same system.

Alternatively, everyone might have a different system, or the exchange rate in the systems of others might be different.

At that moment, Li Tianxiang really wanted to return to the farm space and have a chat with some big shots in the chatroom.

However, there was something more important that he had to deal with now.

He had to get Gordon off him.

After confirming that what Li Tianxiang extracted was indeed a high-grade fire crystal, Gordon hugged his shoulders. If Li Tianxiang didn’t know about his two daughters, he would definitely think that there was something wrong with Gordon’s sexual orientation.

“Let’s talk properly. Don’t touch me!”

Gordon did not mind Li Tianxiang’s rough actions at all. His lips trembled in excitement as he suddenly bowed to Li Tianxiang.

“Esteemed alchemist, we welcome you to the Schariac family.”

Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that he had misunderstood. However, in any case, the practice of alchemy in history was the embryonic form of chemistry.

As a student who had been a chemistry representative in junior high school, he should be qualified to pretend to be an alchemist.

Hence, Li Tianxiang adjusted his expression and deliberately put on a nonchalant expression as he pointed at the fire crystal in Gordon’s hand.

“This is just basic re— alchemy.”

Li Tianxiang coughed and changed his previous statement, replacing the word “recrystallization” with “alchemy”.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I want to purchase a large amount of earth crystals to meet the demands of my research. If possible…”

Li Tianxiang deliberately dragged out the last syllable as he wanted Gordon to give him a discount on account of the crystallization method he provided. After all, although it was cheaper than the earth crystals offered by the system, the cheaper it was, the better.

However, Gordon misunderstood Li Tianxiang’s meaning. His chubby face turned pale, and large beads of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

He shakily took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped away the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes. He carefully observed Li Tianxiang’s expression.

Now, Li Tianxiang was trying hard to act as an unfathomable alchemist, and the expression on his face concealed his true emotions well. Thus, in Gordon’s eyes, this was the unfathomable look of this great alchemist.

“My lord.”

Gordon did not look happy.

“Fifty percent. In the future, we will give you 50% of the earth crystals refined by the Schariac family.”

Li Tianxiang was slightly stunned. He looked at Gordon without saying anything.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want the share, but he didn’t know why Gordon suddenly gave him earth crystals for free. As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but frown.

Meanwhile, in Gordon’s opinion, the alchemist was not satisfied with his proposal.

He pulled at his collar to make it looser so he could look more reliable.

“Seventy percent! I can’t increase this number any more, my lord.”

Gordon looked like he was about to cry.

“Even if you have such superb alchemy techniques, you will still need the help of some families to sell it in the Human Monarch City. The Schariac family is very willing to sell the crystals for you, but a 70% share will result in almost no profit for us.”

Only now did Li Tianxiang, who had been in an ivory tower, understand.

It turned out that Gordon thought that he wanted to use the earth crystal extraction technique to threaten him.

On second thought, he understood. With the recrystallization technology, the yield of earth crystals could be increased by 100% to 300%. As long as he wanted to, he could find other families to collaborate with. When the time came, he would have other ways to increase the yield.

The yield of earth crystals would further increase, and the price would fall. It would be a disaster for the Schariac family, who could not increase their yield.

Although Li Tianxiang didn’t think much of it at first, he didn’t refuse such a great surprise.

“Lord Father.”

Just as Li Tianxiang and Gordon were about to discuss the next step of the collaboration, the sisters May and Lan had already changed and arrived at the workshop.

May had changed into a loose beige robe, but perhaps because she had developed too well, even the comfortable clothes seemed a little tight on her.

When May noticed that Li Tianxiang was looking at her, she blushed and slowly lowered her head, like a lotus flower that was unable to bear the cold wind.

On the other hand, Lan had changed into a set of light blue loungewear. However, because her chest was too flat, she gave off the vibes of a tomboy.

At this moment, she was looking curiously at their father. She noticed that he was sweating profusely and looked like he was being held by Li Tianxiang. Thus, she couldn’t help but look at Li Tianxiang.

Seeing Li Tianxiang’s eyes wandering across his two daughters, a thoughtful expression appeared on Gordon’s face.

However, before he could say anything, Li Tianxiang turned around and looked at him coldly. “I want to talk to you about the alchemy workshop..”
