The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 23

Chapter 23: First Bundle of Riches

The manager looked at the magic pill in the palm of his hand in amazement. This was clearly an Accumulate Energy pill, but it was not quite the same. Looking at it carefully, one could tell the difference from the color. The light blue color of this magic pill was a little deeper when compared to the previous bottle. He had seen this phenomenon before , but those were all mid-grade magic pills.

The color of mid-grade magic pills were naturally deeper than low grade magic pills. But this Accumulate Energy magic pill in his hand was not a mid-grade magic pill because its color was lighter than that of a mid-grade magic pill. The manager quickly picked up the fourth bottle.

Inside were Dispelling magic pills. They were like the Accumulate Energy magic pills in the third bottle. He, who had seen much and experienced much, was still confused. Why was it that even though they were all low grade magic pills, yet their depth of color was different?

“Distinguished guest, this one?” The manager finally asked, unable to hold back any longer.

You XiaoMo had long before heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the astonished expression on the manager’s face. He presumed that it meant his magic pills were still in play. He should be able to sell them at a slightly better price.

“These two bottles are not the same as the other two. Although they are low grade magic pills, their associated risk is not high. Only about ten percent.”

Hearing this, the manager was stunned. He looked at You XiaoMo as if he was looking at strange object. There was also a hint of conflicting emotions. He really did not expect that this young man would bring him something so shocking. He was someone that sold magic pills, so of course he knew a thing or two.

From his past experience, even if distillation rounds were increased, the risk associated with low grade magic pills had never fallen below fifteen percent. He didn’t know if other mages had achieved this before, but this was the first time he had come across such a thing . If this were to get out to others, it would most probably lead to a huge commotion. Low grade magic pills with a ten percent risk. Lower by five percent , but enough to cause the people of the Long Xiang Continent to rush forward like ducks. If he was able to monopolize the source of these magic pills…

The manager looked at You XiaoMo with a complicated expression. This young man was really one of a kind. After muttering to himself, he asked, “Distinguished guest, did you refine all these magic pills by yourself?”

“I refined them by myself, but I was taught by my shifu.”

You XiaoMo looked at the manager with shining eyes. May God forgive him for telling lies.

From the shocked look in the manager’s eyes, he knew that the pills he refined must be quite different from the usual ones. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he didn’t dare to say that he figured this out by fumbling around by himself. So he could only implicate his shifu with whom he had yet to have a formal meeting, Kong Wen.

“And your honorable shifu is?” The manager was not surprised. In fact, he felt that this answer was the most probable.

“This, I’d rather not say.”

You XiaoMo didn’t want to flash the the Tian Xin Sect trump card lightly. Even though he knew that it would make the manager look at him in a new light, it could also bring about problems. If this were to get back to the Tian Xin Sect, he wouldn’t be able to finish what he had dished out.

The manager signaled that he understood. If he knew this technique, he would also keep it under wraps. But since this young man was able to bring these magic pills out to sell, it must mean that he had permission from his shifu. This way, it was also easier to handle.

The manager put the magic pills back into the bottles and said seriously, “Distinguished guest, since you want to sell these magic pills, I will give you a suitable price and we will see how you feel about it. The two ordinary bottles for twenty gold pieces per bottle. For the other two bottles of magic pills, I will give you ten gold pieces per pill. Is this acceptable for you?”

At once, You XiaoMo’s deep black eyes started to shine. Ten gold pieces for one pill versus twenty gold pieces for one bottle, this difference seemed really too much. But the price of twenty gold pieces per bottle seemed higher than what he figured out from the other shops. The four bottles held twenty magic pills each. This was only half of what he had. He had kept the other half to try out at other shops, but now that the manager had given him such a high price, he couldn’t help feel ing a little touched. But…

“Manager, the price you quoted, seemed higher than that from other shops, yes?” You XiaoMo asked tentatively.

He didn’t think he had a face that would arouse sympathy from the manager, so there must be another reason for the high price.

The manager smiled, “Distinguished guest is a really smart person. Indeed , the price I quoted is higher t han in the other shops. I only hope that distinguished guest would continue to sell these magic pills to us the next time if you have any. Even if not all, but if you would at least reserve half for us.”

You XiaoMo considered for a moment. This actually worked. He already didn’t plan on publicizing this. Furthermore, the price given by the manager was high. He wanted to buy many magic herb seeds. He had worried that the money he would get from selling these magic pills wouldn’t be enough, so this move by the manager was really like a delivery of charcoal in snowy weather.

“Manager, I can sell these magic pills to you, but I have a condition.”

“What condition?” asked the manager.

You XiaoMo spoke cautiously, “I hope that you will not tell anyone that these magic pills were refined by me. In short, don’t tell anyone anything about me. If you agree, aside from the magic pills for my personal use, I will sell the rest to you.”

“Deal!” the manager agreed without even having to think twice.

He was not planning on revealing anything anyway. Such a valuable source, of course he would want to keep it firmly under his control. Furthermore, this condition was very reasonable.

After agreeing on the terms, the manager counted the money and handed it over. Two bottles of ordinary magic pills were forty gold pieces. Two bottles of special magic pills were four hundred gold pieces. Altogether four hundred and forty gold pieces. This was You XiaoMo’s first bundle of riches in this world. From what he knew, an ordinary household would be able to live for half a month on one piece of gold.
