Chapter 69 is not so easy to fool.
Originally, it was Tao Tao who was vying for the Heavenly Origin Pill, but with the appearance of this orange-grade pill furnace, it became someone else's turn to compete for it. Their roles were suddenly reversed, and Tao Tao naturally wanted to take the initiative.
The man in the tiger mask was speechless with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He wanted to say something more, but the man in the rabbit mask next to him thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what else you need? Let me see if I can produce it?"
After all, it's an orange-grade pill furnace. Using it to exchange for Heavenly Origin Pills is already a waste of its potential. They're the ones who profit no matter what, so of course they don't mind bringing out something else.
"Anything related to the Heavenly Origin Pill is acceptable, such as the most important spiritual ingredients."
Before Tao Tao could speak, Bai Yan had already sent her a telepathic message, instructing her to collect as many materials as possible for refining the Heavenly Origin Pill. Although she didn't know what Bai Yan was planning to do, Tao Tao naturally complied with his instructions.
"Are you looking for materials to refine the Heavenly Origin Pill?" The person in the rabbit mask sensed something was amiss; it seemed that two Heavenly Origin Pills were far from enough for Tao Tao.
Tao Tao nodded, "That's right, the more the better. Since you can provide Tianyuan Pills, I believe you won't be too stingy with the materials either."
"That's a bit of a problem. I only obtained the Heavenly Origin Pill by chance. It's not that I don't have the materials, but..."
"But what?"
"You should know that the most important ingredient in the Heavenly Origin Pill is the inner core of a level-five demon beast. This thing is not easy to obtain, and a single inner core can be sold for a high amount of spirit stones."
Tao Tao didn't really know; she was just doing what Bai Yan said. As for the inner core he mentioned, it seemed he was reluctant to take it out, which was why he was so hesitant.
"So you think an orange-grade alchemy furnace is inferior to a level 5 demon beast inner core?" Tao Tao retorted, his tone becoming more forceful and somewhat threatening.
The man was somewhat embarrassed. He said, "Well, it's not a fair comparison. It's just that these items are rare. If you insist, I can part with them, but I would appreciate it if you could add one more item."
After all that, it turns out he was trying to bargain. He felt that the inner core was too precious and that it wasn't fair to just exchange it for a pill furnace, so he asked Tao Tao to raise the price.
What a joke! That's an orange-grade pill furnace! Do you really think it's so easy to trade? Tao Tao was reluctant to part with it. If it weren't for the Heavenly Origin Pill, she wouldn't have taken it out. Wouldn't it be better to exchange it for spirit stones to buy food?
"Since you're not serious about the deal, then forget it."
Tao Tao simply pretended to put away the alchemy furnace, and the person in the tiger-shaped mask immediately said, "It's just materials, right? I have plenty. It just depends on how much you need."
This person is quite generous; they must be from a certain family, otherwise there's no reason for them to be so generous.
"Of course, the more the better. You should know the value of an orange-grade alchemy furnace. It wouldn't make sense to give less." Tao Tao said in the same tone as when Song Chaofeng used to negotiate business. She didn't give a specific quantity and let the other party decide, because that would actually put the other party in a difficult position.
The value of the alchemy furnace is undeniable; if he were to offer too little, he wouldn't be able to justify it, especially with so many people watching.
"You really know how to do business. I do have quite a lot of materials, which I can give you, but I only have two level-five demon beast inner cores. I really don't have any more."
Are there really only two?
Bai Yan transmitted his voice again, and Tao Tao spoke as he instructed.
"Would I lie to you? I genuinely want to make this deal."
"If it's genuine, then there shouldn't be any deception."
Although Tao Tao didn't say it outright, the implication was quite clear, which put the man in the tiger-shaped mask in a difficult position. At the same time, he was secretly worried. He wondered if the other party could see the contents of his storage bracelet. It didn't make sense; he had placed a restriction on it. Unless it was a powerful old monster, who could bypass the restriction silently?
Could they be deliberately trying to bomb him? If so, he doesn't need to worry.
"Of course I would not deceive you. The inner core of a level 5 demon beast is an extremely precious item. It is already difficult enough to produce two, let alone three."
He was convinced that Tao Tao was trying to bluff him, but he wasn't in a hurry. After all, Tao Tao needed the Heavenly Origin Pill, so surely the deal wouldn't be called off.
Just as I was thinking this, Tao Tao casually said, "It seems you're not sincere enough. Then forget it. I believe that if I take the orange-grade pill furnace to any faction, they will definitely give me a satisfactory price."
The man in the tiger-shaped mask was shocked to find that the other party was actually not going to play with him anymore. It didn't make sense; he thought the other party would be easy to talk to, but it turned out to be a cunning old fox. He had no choice but to stop being arrogant and lower his stance. "No, I've come this far, so I'm sure I'm sincere. Here's the deal: three inner cores it is. I can also give you some of the materials. Together, we can refine three Heavenly Origin Pills. You're not going to ask for more than you can chew, are you?"
"Since you are sincere about the transaction, I certainly won't go too far. Let's make a deal."
That person really only had three inner cores, otherwise Tao Tao would have continued to raise the price. Anyway, Bai Yan could see what was in his storage bracelet, so he would definitely not let himself suffer a loss.
After the transaction was completed, Tao Tao obtained a large amount of materials, which she stored in her storage bracelet. She then stepped down from the platform. There was nothing else that interested her, so she followed Bai Yan and left the trade fair.
As they left, the person in the rabbit-shaped mask followed them with his gaze, and soon after, he too left the trade fair.
Once outside, Tao Tao became quite curious about the materials in her hands. She looked up at Bai Yan beside her and asked suspiciously, "Ayan, it's fine to get the Heavenly Origin Pill, but why do you need so many materials? My senior brother and I don't know how to refine pills, and the Heavenly Origin Pill isn't something that ordinary alchemists can refine, is it?"
"You can't refine it; only a third-grade alchemist can do this."
"Then..." Tao Tao was even more puzzled now. She stared blankly at Bai Yan, then suddenly had a thought and immediately smiled, "Could it be that A Yan is personally refining the pills?"
If that's the case, then even the most advanced elixirs wouldn't be a problem.
Bai Yan didn't speak, but suddenly reached out to block her. In an instant, a cloud of smoke filled the air, enveloping them and making everything blurry so they couldn't see anything.
Is someone planning to attack them?
Tao Tao was very anxious and shouted, "Ayan, what's going on?"
"Looks like you've been targeted." Bai Yan's voice rang in her ear, and Tao Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that he was still by her side.
"Being targeted? Who could it be? Could it be someone from the trade fair? But we were wearing masks back then, weren't we?"
"That's only to prevent disputes at the trade fair. Once you leave the trade fair, you're no longer bound by those restrictions, so you'll naturally dare to make a move."
"So they couldn't get what they wanted through trade, so they came out intending to rob us?"
That's exactly what she was thinking, except she didn't take any action, while the other person was really going to make a move.
