Chapter 91 Well-founded
"At this point, anyway, ten Jellyfish Flowers have already been wasted, and Elder Ling should have noticed that the furnace explosion wasn’t due to a problem with the alchemy recipe, right?"
Mo Wangchen shrugged indifferently. "If we don’t continue and manage to create the Returning Ruins Pill, then the ten Jellyfish Flowers truly will have been wasted. Besides, Elder Ling is an alchemist, a sixth-level one at that, and should understand that every alchemy recipe requires long-term refinement to be perfect. It’s only been two attempts, and success is imminent. Are you planning to give up?"
"Moreover, if this recipe can indeed produce a Returning Ruins Pill, it would surely bring many benefits to you, Elder Ling. At the very least, you would have a new recipe for the Returning Ruins Pill."
"That’s true..."
Elder Ling was momentarily at a loss at Lin Feng’s words, but he felt something was amiss. "Even if this recipe succeeds, creating a Returning Ruins Pill requires ten Jellyfish Flowers, worth nearly fifty million gold coins..."
"Fifty million may be hard to earn in a lifetime for ordinary people, but for a sixth-level alchemist like Elder Ling, a mere few million gold coins should be nothing."
Mo Wangchen raised an eyebrow and continued, "Moreover, Yun Country on the Tian Nan Continent is just a small country, and everyone knows that the chance of failing to break through the Returning Ruins Realm is quite high. That’s also why, even now, there are only a few Returning Ruins Realm experts in Yun Country."
"The Returning Ruins Pill can increase the success rate of breakthroughs to over fifty percent. If not for the scarcity of Cold Leaf, which has a price but no market, then the Returning Ruins Pill would have already been mass-produced and sold, making Returning Ruins Realm experts commonplace, wouldn’t they?"
"Although Jellyfish Flowers are costly, they are not rare. On the contrary, Cold Leaves are extremely rare. It’s hard to find even one in an entire country. Between the two, Elder Ling, do you care about the Jellyfish Flowers or desire a successful recipe?"
"You brat!"
