Chapter 1720: A Fake Immortal Alchemist

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Sacred Spirit Continent was after all, not as developed as the Boundless Continent.

Besides, the Green Field was worse than others in every aspect. As a result, an Immortal Alchemist was invaluable for them.

They believed that Jiang Chen would not speak nonsensically at the gate of Danqing Tower. If he did so, the consequence would be terrible.

And Jiang Chen did look like he was about 26 years old after the disguise. Without the disguise, he would have been suspected.

“Master, please come this way,” the woman beckoned Jiang Chen solicitously.

Ye Sizhu was pleasantly surprised. She had almost forgotten that they could use Jiang Chen’s identity this way.

Seeing for herself the woman’s different reactions, and recalling how warm she had seemingly been, Ye Sizhu felt a little sick.

For the first time in her life, she recognized the benefits and convenience brought on by her identity.

Together, Jiang Chen and Ye Sizhu walked into Danqing Tower. There, they met Yao Qing and the others, who were of course, dumbfounded.

“Master!” the group exclaimed.

Zhang Ran didn’t need any reminder. He quickly walked up front and said, “I’m really sorry. I was in a bad mood because of something that came up earlier. I lost my manners, please don’t take it to heart.”

He was looking at Ye Sizhu even as he spoke. He could not figure out why an Immortal Alchemist’s younger sister would dress like that.

Jiang Chen did not respond. He merely gazed at the group.

Meng Shixiong and Yao Qing felt rather pressured. They would be punished upon their return if they had offended an Immortal Alchemist.

“Master, I’m Meng Shixiong, a chief disciple from Heavenly Mountain School. My father is...” said Meng Shixiong, trying hard to introduce himself.

” I’m not interested. Sharpen your eyesight next time,” Jiang Chen brusquely interrupt ed him before leaving with Ye Sizhu, holding her hand.

Meng Shixiong was embarrassed. He was trying hard to hold his temper in check.

“Brother Meng, I’m the one to blame!” Zhang Ran said nervously.

“It’s not your fault.”

Taking a deep breath, Meng Shixiong tried to calm down. He even showed a smile.

Seeing his reaction, Yao Qing showed a look of appreciation, nodding slightly.

Meng Shixiong was after all, a chief disciple of the Heavenly Mountain School. He was magnanimous enough.

Zhang Ran had been impolite to the Master, so the Master’s unkind response was understandable.

Both the Master and Meng Shixiong were about the same age, and Meng Shixiong was a proud person. Such a brushing off was hard to accept.

But he managed to restrain himself.

At the same time, a pretty woman who said she was the general steward approached Jiang Chen and Ye Sizhu quickly, just before they walked out of the corridor of Danqing Tower.

“Dear Master, I’m really sorry that you’ve been affected because of Danqing Tower’s negligence. You can get thirty percent off for all your purchases here today.”

The pretty woman introduced herself as Mrs. Xiao. She was observing Jiang Chen secretly as she spoke.

She was not quite convinced that Jiang Chen was indeed an Immortal Alchemist.

However, even if there was only a slight chance that Jiang Chen was an Immortal Alchemist, Danqing Tower should treat him as if he really was one.

After all, they could just hold him accountable if they found themselves cheated subsequently.

Immortal Alchemists would tolerate no slights.

Jiang Chen could have moved around unscrupulously on the Boundless Continent as an alchemist.

Unfortunately, his alchemist’s identity was somewhat useless now because of his frequent confrontations with the Sovereign Soul Palace and other big forces.

“I need some herbs.”

Jiang Chen went on to name a few herbs to Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao did not speak much as she took notes. After taking Jiang Chen to a cozy room to wait, she then left with the notes.

Mrs. Xiao came back fifteen minutes later.

“Master, we’ve got everything you want with the exception of two items which will be sold in an auction...” Mrs. Xiao said, somewhat awkwardly.

“I don’t have time for that. Just evaluate how much they are worth based on your past experience, then tell me the price,” replied Jiang Chen, who looked unfazed.

“Master, do you mean you’ll buy them even if their prices will be raised by ten or even by a hundred fold?” Mrs. Xiao asked in surprise. Even if he were rich, this was just not the way to spend money, she thought to herself.

“Master, our auction doesn’t only sell herbs. There will be other treasures being sold as well. Perhaps you’ll find more things you might like,” added Mrs. Xiao.

“I’m in a hurry. Just sell the herbs to me. If you can’t, I’ll just go elsewhere to shop.”

Abruptly Jiang Chen got to his feet, ready to leave.

“Master, wait! Let me check again for you.”

Mrs. Xiao hastily left the room a second time. When she finally returned, she was beaming. It seemed that the problem had been solved.

She said, “Master, this is against the rules. But since it’s your first visit here, our boss has agreed to sell them to you. We’ll charge you about thirty to forty times that of the normal price.”

“No problem,” said Jiang Chen as he thought about his multiple storage rings, which had all kinds of Spiritual Stones, meteorites and other stuff in them.

They were not so useful to him, but they were actually worth quite a fortune.

If Jiang Chen had the rings in the Realm of Nine Heavens, he would not have had to work so hard.

“Okay. Master, please tell us your name. A member card will be prepared for you,” said Mrs. Xiao.

“Chen Xin.”

Thus Jiang Chen got the herbs he needed for the healing elixirs quite easily.

He thought, “It’s so good to be rich.”

The next thing to do was to pay and to check the quality of the herbs.

Not until then did Mrs. Xiao truly believe that Jiang Chen was an Immortal Alchemist.

Only alchemists would spend so much money on herbs.

Noises were heard from the outside just after Jiang Chen had packed up the herbs he purchased.

Mrs. Xiao frowned. This should not be happening. She hurriedly apologized to Jiang Chen.

“It should be some small trouble. We’ll resolve it very quickly.”

Jiang Chen did not mind, but the noises were getting louder and louder.

By now, Mrs. Xiao was really embarrassed. Danqing Tower was not a common market.

However, before she could leave to find out what the problem was, a staff member of Danqing Tower rushed in and whispered something to her.

The staff member said, “We are in trouble, Mrs. Xiao!.”

By now, both Mrs. Xiao’s elegance and calmness had disappeared.

“What’s wrong?” asked Jiang Chen.

“Here is the thing. Another Immortal Alchemist came particularly for those two herbs. He had been expecting tonight’s auction. Naturally he was upset when he found out that they were no longer available,” Mrs. Xiao said, somewhat with a bitter smile.

Two Immortal Alchemists, she really could not afford to offend either one of them.

And it was actually Danqing Tower’s fault. They had removed the herbs from the auction list with the excuse that the herbs were not good enough for the auction., However, the bad-tempered and disappointed Immortal Alchemist was not convinced.

“I don’t think I have anything to do with this.”

Jiang Chen said with a mock smile. His business with Danqing Tower was already done. Plus he had paid a great fortune for the herbs.

Danqing Tower would certanly have to deal with their own troubles.

It was not as if he was afraid or anything like that. The responsibility was Danqing Tower’s. It was as simple as that.

“Immortal Alchemist? I became an apprentice when I was twelve. I spent four years taking care of furnaces. Only after that did I get my first chance to refine any elixirs. I found fire energy and Alien Flames when I was twenty. Not until the age of twenty-five did I start to work towards becoming an Immortal Alchemist. Then, step by step, I got to where I am today.”

“You believe a youngster in his twenties is an Immortal Alchemist. Don’t be a fool!” Jiang Chen exploded.

Surprisingly, the noises outside were getting even louder. It turned out that the other Immortal Alchemist had collected lots of information, including Jiang Chen’s real age.

Mrs. Xiao noticed how unhappy Jiang Chen was. She quickly said, “Master, we didn’t mean to absolve ourselves of any responsibility!”

Then the door to the room was rudely pushed open.

“Where is the fraudster who claimed to be an Immortal Alchemist?”
