Divine War Pill Emperor

"Young Master Jiang Chen, as long as you consign this Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill to our Treasure Elephant Pavilion, I can guarantee it will sell for a great price."

Murong Xiangming declared with absolute certainty after examining the Elixir.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion truly had that kind of capability.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s auctions were always the most famous. Once they started promoting one, practically everyone knew about it.

Their reputation was known far and wide.

Jiang Chen didn’t doubt Murong Xiangming’s words in the slightest.

"I know of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s capabilities, which is why I came to you."

"However, I do have one thing to point out, Miss Murong."

"Are you sure my Foundation Strengthening Pill is only Gold Quality?"

He looked at Murong Xiangming with a smile that was not quite a smile.

’She actually said my Elixir was only Gold Quality.’

How could Jiang Chen be satisfied with that?

There is a fundamental difference between Gold Quality and Purple Gold Quality.

Once an Elixir reaches Purple Gold Quality, it ascends to a whole new level.

"What?"

Jiang Chen’s question left Murong Xiangming a bit confused.

"Take a closer look."

Jiang Chen said, pointing to the porcelain vial in Murong Xiangming’s hand.

He couldn’t let his Purple Gold Quality Elixir be auctioned off as a mere Gold Quality one.

The price would be drastically lower.

’Did I see it wrong?’

Murong Xiangming extended her Divine Thought into the porcelain vial once more, this time inspecting it with extreme care.

A moment later, a blinding flash of purple light erupted within her Divine Thought.

"Huh?"

Stunned, she immediately focused on the source of the light and saw a purple-tinged area on the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

She knew exactly what that purple color represented.

A purple glow on an Elixir meant one thing: it was a Purple Gold Quality Elixir.

Even the faintest trace of purple was astonishing.

Purple Gold Quality Elixirs were simply far too rare.

She was shaken once more, her beautiful face filled with utter astonishment.

But an inspection with her Divine Thought was not enough to satisfy her curiosity.

At some point, a snow-white glove had appeared on her hand.

She glanced at Jiang Chen.

She decisively tipped the vial and poured the Foundation Strengthening Pill out.

The Foundation Strengthening Pill landed in Murong Xiangming’s palm.

Her eyes, bright as stars, were fixed intently on the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

She found that Jiang Chen’s Foundation Strengthening Pill did indeed have a purple-hued area.

Though the area was small, it was unmistakably purple.

Even with her usual composure, Murong Xiangming couldn’t help but draw in a sharp, cold breath.

She gasped, "Purple Gold Quality..."

She couldn’t believe it. To think she’d see a Purple Gold Quality Elixir in a place like Hanwu City.

It was almost too much for her heart to handle.

The shock caused her full chest to heave, rising and falling in unsteady waves.

She was clearly stunned by Jiang Chen’s Elixir.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a long moment.

Jiang Chen didn’t interrupt her. He knew that anyone who saw his Elixir would be deeply shaken.

Murong Xiangming’s reaction was entirely within his expectations.

After some time, Murong Xiangming finally recovered from her shock.

But a blush still lingered on her face from the overwhelming shock.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, my apologies. I lost my composure for a moment."

Murong Xiangming struggled to compose herself.

But even after confirming that Jiang Chen’s Elixir was Purple Gold Quality, she found it impossible to calm down.

A Purple Gold Quality Elixir like this was simply too precious.

Ordinary Alchemists were incapable of refining such a thing.

If a Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill could sell for five hundred thousand yuan crystals, then a Purple Gold Quality one, even with a low concentration of purple, could easily fetch double that price.

Selling one for a million would be no issue, and it might even go for more.

"It’s fine. Please, have some water."

Jiang Chen remained inwardly calm. A scene like this was nothing to him. A thousand years ago, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion had personally come to beg him for an Elixir and wasn’t even guaranteed an audience.

It was all too common.

However, Murong Xiangming was so stunningly beautiful that the way her expression shifted was a unique sight to behold.

Murong Xiangming took a sip of water, composing herself once more.

Her heart, however, still refused to quiet down.

She said excitedly, "Young Master Jiang Chen, it would be a great honor to work with you."

"If you’ll trust me, you can leave it in my hands with full confidence."

"I have some influence within the Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

A confident smile graced her lips.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen took out the remaining Elixirs and handed them to Murong Xiangming.

"Miss Murong, I trust you."

"These are the other nine Elixirs. I’ll leave them in your care."

Given the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s reputation, Jiang Chen was quite at ease.

After all, he had already hinted at a mysterious master behind him. No matter how powerful the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was, they wouldn’t dare to pull any tricks on him now.

For one, it would damage their reputation. For another, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion simply had no need to do so.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion had branches across the Seven Realms and the Nine Desolate Lands. A Purple Gold Quality Elixir might be rare in Hanwu City...

...but it was nothing extraordinary for the Pavilion as a whole.

Therefore, there was no point in them trying to swindle him over his Elixirs.

Murong Xiangming accepted them carefully with both hands, a clear sign of how highly she valued Jiang Chen’s Foundation Strengthening Pills.

"Thank you for your trust."

"Young Master Jiang Chen."

After securing the Elixirs, Murong Xiangming showed no intention of leaving just yet.

Although she was usually quite busy...

...she was now more inclined to speak with Jiang Chen.

Her sparkling eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, you must know that our Treasure Elephant Pavilion auctions all manner of treasures."

"If you have any other treasures you wish to sell, please bring them to me. I will absolutely get you a price you’ll be satisfied with."

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

He would certainly be a frequent visitor.

He’d come to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion whenever he was short on funds.

"I certainly will."

"After all, your word is the best guarantee, Miss Murong."

Murong Xiangming’s face lit up.

Then she added, "There is one more thing. For items auctioned at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, we take a three percent commission as our service fee."

This was the standard rule, whether at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion or any other auction house.

Jiang Chen was very familiar with this from a thousand years ago.

The only difference was the commission rate, which varied from place to place.

Three percent wasn’t high at all.

"Then I’ll be troubling you, Miss Murong."

After chatting with Murong Xiangming for a while, the two had become somewhat acquainted.

Jiang Chen knew there was no reason to stay any longer.

So he rose to take his leave.

"I’ll be on my way. Farewell."

Murong Xiangming replied politely.

"Very well, I’ll see you out."

Suddenly, she thought of something.

She said, slightly chiding herself, "Young Master Jiang Chen, please wait. I forgot something."

To Jiang Chen’s surprise, Murong Xiangming called out, "Lu Ming, bring an invitation here."

A moment later, Lu Ming entered and handed an invitation to Murong Xiangming.
