Chapter 171: Transaction

Master Mei responded in detail to Wang Hong's inquiries about Alchemy. Wang Hong had always explored Alchemy on his own, accumulating countless doubts and uncertainties. Today, everything suddenly became clear, and he felt that his Alchemy skills had improved significantly.

Wang Hong felt sorry for digging out the Qiu Long Tea, but he couldn't reveal it yet. He decided to keep it to himself for now.

"Alright, we'll conclude today's session. You may leave now," Master Mei declared after explaining various Alchemy techniques.

"Thank you, Master Mei, for your guidance. Disciple takes his leave," Yuan Yong said as he led the two out of Master Mei's room and headed downstairs.

"Junior Brother Wang, our Pill Hall holds an Alchemist exchange meeting every month. It's mainly for sharing Alchemy experiences and exchanging Alchemy materials. If you have time, remember to join," Yuan Yong told Wang Hong. As for Tang Wan'er, she grew up in the sect and was familiar with Pill Hall, so Yuan Yong didn't need to say much to her.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Yuan."

"Junior Brother Wang, no need to be polite. As fellow Pill Hall Alchemists, we should take care of each other in the future."

Everyone was willing to befriend Wang Hong, considering his outstanding talent in Alchemy.

After being escorted out of Pill Hall's gate, Tang Wan'er turned to Wang Hong.

"Junior Brother Wang, it's time to fulfill your bet! A real man keeps his word, and with someone as resolute as Junior Brother Wang, I believe you will honor your promise."

She was a bit worried that Wang Hong might try to renege on the bet, especially considering the significant value of half a jar of Spirit Bee Royal Jelly, which was worth thousands of Spirit Stones.

Even she felt a twinge of heartache, but fortunately, she won. Otherwise, she'd be the one feeling regret.

To her relief, Wang Hong didn't hesitate and readily took out five Jade vials, each containing an ounce of Spirit Bee Royal Jelly.

"Sister Tang, can I trade for your Lionhead Spirit Mushroom? Just a small portion will do; I want to taste it," Wang Hong asked after handing over his lost bet.

"What do you plan to offer in exchange? I'm not interested in ordinary items," Tang Wan'er replied.

"Sister Tang, how about exchanging it for Spirit Bee Royal Jelly?" Wang Hong suggested. He had plenty of Spirit Bee Royal Jelly, more than he could use.

It had been a while since he registered for Foundation Building, and it was likely that he would soon be assigned experiential tasks.

One day, he dug out the Devilish Vine with the longest history from the Space, then bound it to a piece of spirit wood.

When he first acquired this Devilish Vine, it was only six hundred years old. Now, it had reached a thousand years. If it were outside, it would be challenging to deal with. Once an item approached it, the vine would entangle it and absorb Spiritual Energy and essence blood.

However, the Devilish Vine seemed to have no reaction to his Nascent Soul body, and Wang Hong easily bound it using controlled items.

He stored this thousand-year-old Devilish Vine in his Storage Bag and headed straight to the market.

Entering the Myriad Treasures Tower, Wang Hong spoke to the welcoming maidservant, "I plan to refine a Spiritual Weapon. Could you please inform your refining tool master, so I can meet with him?"

"Of course, please come this way," the maid led Wang Hong to a quiet room and prepared a pot of Spirit Tea for him.

"Please wait a moment; I'll go and fetch our refining tool master." The maid then left the room.

After a while, an old man entered the room. He was in the mid Foundation Building cultivation level, with white hair.

"May I ask, friend, are you here to refine a Spiritual Weapon? Do you have the refining tool materials?" The old man asked first.

"Exactly, I have a refining tool material. I'm not sure if your shop can refine it into a Spiritual Weapon, so I wanted to inquire," Wang Hong replied.

"As long as the friend's material is qualified, we can naturally refine it into a Spiritual Weapon. Please show me the material first." The old man spoke with pride, similar to how Alchemists tended to be.

Wang Hong looked around and said, "My item is relatively large. I'm afraid this room may not be able to accommodate it."

"Oh! Please follow me," the old man said and walked out of the room, with Wang Hong following closely behind.

The old man led Wang Hong to a spacious courtyard. "Friend, see if this place is big enough for your material."

"Good! No problem." Wang Hong said, taking out the thousand-year-old Devilish Vine from his Storage Bag.
