The middle-aged pharmacist's expression became even more surprised, but he said, "Little friend is right. Since Little friend knows the specific pill formula, then you should also know that refining this pill requires more than just one type of Spirit Grass, and the other six types of Spirit Grass are also required to refine the pill. Moreover, you also need to consume the energy of a pill refiner to refine this pill.

Although the alchemists of the cultivation world weren't as arrogant as the formation masters, their status was still extremely high. The three alchemists of the Great Cauldron Hall were only here to appraise spiritual herbs and take charge of the transaction, but Yang Junshan knew that they were the three most important alchemists of the Great Cauldron Hall and were also the true masterminds of the Great Cauldron Hall.

Yang Junshan disdainfully said, "You are right, but don't forget that although the mushroom is a low-rank magic rank spiritual herb, its value is much higher than the other six spiritual herbs. The other six spiritual herbs can be replaced with similar spiritual herbs when they are lacking."

The smile on the middle-aged pharmacist's face froze, but he suddenly asked, "Little friend, since you're so familiar with the art of pill refining, may I ask if you have a master?"

Yang Junshan was stunned, but his face showed hesitation. The middle-aged pharmacist beside him observed his words and smiled, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Yang Junshan looked around, suddenly leaned close to the counter and said in a low voice: "If you give me ten Fa Yun Pills, I'll come back to buy more in the future. Sigh, nevermind, I heard that your Great Cauldron Hall has a spirit jade token, if you can give me one, I'll tell you a spirit herb to replace the mushrooms, how about it?"

When the middle-aged pharmacist heard Yang Junshan's words, a smile appeared on her face. When she heard the Spirit Jade Cloud Plate, her smile froze on her face, and then hearing Yang Junshan's words that could even be replaced by a mushroom, a look of displeasure appeared on her face. She said, "Don't speak nonsense, little friend. Furthermore, you previously said that the bug mushrooms could not be replaced when refining the Fa Yun Pill, and now that you said that you had the bug mushrooms to replace the spirit grass, don't you think that a certain family can be fooled by a child? Seeing that you are so young, this clan isn't willing to argue with you. It's best for you to quickly leave, since the Great Cauldron Hall isn't someone that you can swindle around with! "

Yang Junshan said indifferently, "It's fine if you don't believe it, but are you serious about the mushrooms? Do you want to exchange ten Fa Yun Pills for them?"

The middle-aged pharmacist was slightly bewildered, but he firmly said, "It's impossible with ten pills. I can only give you seven at most!"

Seven is seven, "Yang Junshan said with a hint of annoyance, making him look somewhat untrustworthy. Taking the seven Fa Yun pills from the middle-aged pharmacist, he carefully placed them into the amulet he had captured last time at Qu Wushan and said in a low voice," Humph, although the mushrooms grow in the shadows, they have a strong medicinal properties, they explode when you need to refine them! "

Yang Junshan spoke softly, but the middle-aged pharmacist heard it clearly. The hand that he handed to Yang Junshan immediately froze there. When he reacted, Yang Junshan had already moved several feet away.

"Young friend, please wait a moment!"

Under the astonished gazes of the other two pharmacists, the middle-aged pharmacist didn't even get to come out from behind the counter. Instead, he jumped over the counter and stood in front of Yang Junshan, laughing in a low voice, "My friend, please wait a moment, please!"

"What are you doing?"

Yang Junshan took a step back and looked at the middle-aged pharmacist warily. He then looked around the Great Cauldron Hall and noticed that many people were paying attention to him. He then let out a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged cultivator hurriedly said in an amiable manner, "Little friend, please do not misunderstand. I just want to ask if you are serious."

Yang Junshan saw the other two pharmacists coming over with surprise on their faces, he said without any care, "Formless pills are not too difficult, but it's harder than exploding. A batch of Formless Cloud Pills only produced one useless pill, but it could take away two or three of the best pills if it was blown up carelessly. How can the success rate go up?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The middle-aged cultivator quickly nodded and asked, "But I'm not asking about the explosion of the pill, but does little friend really have a way to replace the Lava Caterpillar to avoid the explosion?"

Yang Junshan looked around and asked, "What about here?"

The middle-aged pharmacist patted his head and quickly led him in. "Please come in!"

The three pharmacists looked at each other with a surprised and uncertain expression on their faces. It was unknown whether it was because Yang Junshan was so familiar with the Great Cauldron Hall or because he was surprised by what he had said about the Cultivation Cloud Pill.

The Fa Yun Pill was one of the best quality pills that a mortal cultivator could consume, so it was popular amongst cultivators and was also one of the most important source of income for the Great Cauldron Hall. If it could really solve the problem of pills exploding, then the success rate of the Fa Yun Pill would increase by at least twenty to thirty percent.

Others might not know, but Yang Junshan knew that these three alchemists were able to survive the change in the world around them. Although their cultivation was not high, and they were only at the middle stage of the Martial Disciple realm, their intelligence and methods were indeed something that ordinary people could not match. Yang Junshan had barely reached the Martial Disciple realm High Rank in his previous life, but he had managed to become an expert in Mengyu County before he had a chance to find out the identities of these three alchemists.

The middle-aged pharmacist, led by the three other pharmacists in the secret chamber, impatiently asked, "Does little friend really have a way to avoid the explosion that happens frequently in the process of refining the cloud pill?"

Yang Junshan said calmly, "Don't worry. To avoid any unnecessary suspicion from the both of us, I think we should all reveal our identities. I am Yang Junshan, the son of Yang Tian Gang from Tuqiu Village in Wasteland Town!"

Oh. "The three of them clearly knew Yang Tian's name. The middle-aged cultivator laughed and said," So he is the son of Yang Village. Yang Village's name is like thunder in our ears even in the county.

Seeing Yang Junshan's helpless expression, the three pharmacists smiled. The middle-aged pharmacist continued, "I believe you have guessed that I am the alchemist of the Great Cauldron Hall as well as the owner of the Great Cauldron Hall. My surname is Kong and I am Kong Deliang; one of them is my junior brother, Gu Shao Jun, while the other one is my best friend, Chang You."

With that, the pill refiner Gu Shaojun continued, "I heard that Yang Village originally came from the Yang Family of Blue Stone Town in Chenyu County. So, little friend Jun Shan was also a Prominent Class?"

Now that they understood Yang Junshan's identity, the three of them became more confident in Yang Junshan's words. Yang Tian had just become famous in Mengyu County, so he was one of the top experts.

Yang Junshan nodded and said: "Since we know the truth, then I will tell you frankly. I can tell you all three of them are experienced alchemists, but I still want to know, you three will have to use the Cloud Spirit Jade Plate to exchange for it!"

The three of them were led by Kong Deliang. Kong De Liang exchanged a glance with the two of them and muttered, "Since little friend knows about the Spirit Jade Plate, does little friend also know about its use in the Great Cauldron Hall?"

Yang Junshan nodded and said, "I know a little about it. I heard that they are only people who buy from the Great Cauldron Hall. With this card, you can get a discount of 80% for the pills you buy from the Great Cauldron Hall."

Yang Junshan paused for a moment, and said, "I know that buying a share with a single herb is a bit of a joke, but I don't need it. I only want the 80% discount."

Kong Deliang was about to say something when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his lapel. He heard Gu Shaojun say from behind, "If what little friend says is true, there's no harm in handing over the Spirit Jade Medallion to little friend!"

Since Gu Shao Jun had already said it, Kong Deliang didn't say anything more. Yang Junshan finally smiled and said, "Alright, but there is something I need to tell you in advance. Although I can prevent the Fa Yun Pill from exploding, but the pill's effect is only 90% of its original value!"

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned. Kong Deliang smiled bitterly, "I originally thought it wouldn't be that simple, but it's worth it to increase or decrease the amount of pills. However, it seems like what little friend said wasn't just exchanging them for a single main ingredient."

Yang Junshan stayed in the Great Cauldron Hall for more than half a day. After confirming that what Kong Deliang said was true, Yang Junshan finally left with the Spirit Jade Cloud Boards that Kong Deliang had given him.

In the Great Cauldron Hall, after Yang Junshan left, Kong Deliang turned to Gu Shao Jun and asked, "Why did you agree to this kid's request so easily?"

Gu Shaojun said, "Firstly, what he said is indeed worth a Spirit Jade Cloud Token. Secondly, Yang Tian is also one of Mengyu County's newly risen experts. Moreover, he has a Prominent Class behind him. How can we not progress further in the future?"

Kong Deliang was visibly moved. "What news did junior get?"

Gu Shaojun said, "Senior Brother, don't you feel that the situation is very strange recently? The Great Cauldron Hall originally pays its dividends to the Heaven Shaking Sect once a year, but half a year ago, the Heaven Shaking Sect came to collect their dividends every month; while the Xiong Family tried to increase the amount of shares they bought from them several times; furthermore, the shares of spirit pills set by the Ning and Yu Families in the Great Cauldron Hall are both increasing. Although the monthly increase is limited, but the monthly increase for the past six months is not low either …"

Kong Deliang said, "Junior Brother, do you mean … it can't be?"

I heard that the Yang family of the Green Stone Town has recently produced an inner disciple, which is indeed the younger brother of Yang Village. And the one competing for this spot is Xiong family's younger brother, Xiong Manshan, the inner disciple of Heaven Shaking Sect has to go through the approval of a cultivator of the Zhenqi stage, and the Xiong family still hasn't been able to compete with Yang Tian Gang's younger brother, what does this mean? "

At this time, Chang You, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Yesterday, Zhang County's Heavenly Wolf School's envoy contacted me privately. I also hope to be able to buy into the Great Cauldron Hall!"

At this moment, a servant of the Great Cauldron Hall arrived at the back of the hall and reported to the three people, "Before that youth came to the hall, he stayed at the western alley of the county city for half a day."

"West Alley Lane?" Kong Deliang was moved: "Is it him?"
