Chapter 504: Recruitment
Three days had passed since the pill refining competition. During these three days, Xiao Yan’s amazing and envious medicinal refining skills were spread by word of mouth by most of the Inner Academy students.
At this moment, the reputation of Xiao Yan in the Inner Academy was likely comparable to that of those top experts in the top ten of the ‘Strong Ranking.’ An alchemist who could refine a tier five medicinal pill would be able to enjoy the same treatment as a strong Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang no matter where one was. One could get a glimpse of this from the suddenly warm attitude that those Inner Academy Elders suddenly displayed toward Xiao Yan.
In the past, those Elders merely treated Xiao Yan as a student with massive potential due to the quiet orders that First Elder gave to specially take care of Xiao Yan. However, they were now truly treating him as a person on the same level of them when they conversed. There was an additional politeness that was difficult to discern when they spoke or conversed. After all, these Elders clearly knew in their hearts that the value of an alchemist who could refine a tier five medicinal pill far exceeded a strong person of the Dou Wang class.
After clearly comprehending the difference in worth between the both of them. Some Elders naturally no longer displayed that haughtiness of an Elder in front of Xiao Yan. This was because they knew their status did not contain much suppressing force compared to Xiao Yan’s. Since it was useless, what was the point of using their status to speak?
During the three days, Xiao Yan’s reputation had soared within the Inner Academy. Moreover, Xiao Yan borrowed the reputation he had forged in the competition to spread the important news to the Inner Academy students that ‘Pan’s Gate’ had begun to sell medicinal pills. After witnessing Xiao Yan’s pill refinement in the Northern Stadium, quite a number of people became interested in the medicinal pills of ‘Pan’s Gate.’ Furthermore, quite a number of people began to frequent the region outside of the new student area, wanting to purchase the pills beforehand.
Additionally, the five trading areas that the ‘Medicine Gang’ had promised were also successively taken over by ‘Pan’s Gate’ due to Xiao Yan’s victory in the competition. The ‘Medicine Gang’ was clearly extremely dismayed. They felt great pain handing over these trading areas with extremely high volumes of traffic, and had repeatedly found excuses to delay handing them over, this little ruse of the other party naturally crumbled after Xiao Yan invited Elder Hao to show his face.
Finally, under the expressionless face of Elder Hao, the ‘Medicinal Gang’ could only clench their teeth. They watched as members of ‘Pan’s Gate’ removed the ‘Medicinal Gang’ insignia, engraved in the trading areas, and replace it with their own.
After these five trading areas entered into their hands, Xiao Yan and the rest truly felt what was called having a hot human traffic. In merely one day, nearly two hundred medicinal pills were sold. As they watched the soaring ‘Fire Energy’ on the Fire Crystal Card, Xiao Yan and the few others were involuntarily a little dumbfounded.
The medicinal pills were completely sold and the lock that the ‘Medicine Gang’ had placed on the medicinal ingredients had also been removed. Naturally, Xiao Yan needed to get busy. However, Xiao Yan was still unable to meet the demand even after refining for two days, all day and all night. Xiao Yan could only laugh bitterly and shake his hand. After which, he revealed to Xun Er and the rest a suggestion that had been brewing in him for a long while.
