"Hehe, of course, but these are not the most important things. The important thing is that our Chamber of Commerce has gained a fourth-grade alchemist. This is the most worthy thing to celebrate!" The Third Master grinned widely, looking very happy.
"Third Master, is that person really only seventeen years old?" the guard next to him asked curiously.
"Yeah, what else do you think? Would my Blood Chamber of Commerce produce fake things?" asked the Third Master.
“No, no!”
The guard's eyes were filled with surprise. "I was wondering what kind of genius this is! He's so terrifying! A fourth-grade alchemist! That's already surpassed the level of our chief alchemist!"
"Hehe, it's okay, he's my friend!" said the Third Master with a smile, very proud.
In a room inside the Blood Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man looked unhappy.
"Brother Feng, what do you think about this? A fourth-rank alchemist, this has already threatened your position!"
The middle-aged man in a white robe looked at the person sitting on the bed and said.
The man slowly opened his eyes. "Fourth-rank alchemist? Seventeen years old? Are you kidding me?"
"Hey, Brother Feng, do I still have the mood to joke with you now?" The middle-aged man in a white robe said unhappily.
"If you said that the Chamber of Commerce recruited a fourth-grade alchemist, I would believe it, but you said it was a seventeen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist. Is that possible?" said the middle-aged man sitting on the bed.
"Alas, the Third Master has already spread the news outside in preparation for the auction in the near future. Do you think this could be fake?" said the middle-aged man in white robe, frowning.
The middle-aged man known as Brother Feng then raised an eyebrow, jumped off the bed, and asked, "Seventeen years old? Did the Third Master say that himself?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I be so anxious to inform you! Brother Feng, if this is true, then you may lose your identity as the chief alchemist! Then you will have to lose a lot of your original benefits!" The middle-aged man in white robe said anxiously.
Brother Feng frowned, poured himself a glass of water, and sat down again, saying, "Don't worry yet. Maybe Third Master is deliberately creating a stunt this time. You know, in a few days, our Chamber of Commerce will hold its grand auction, which is held every three years. Not only will people from our Big Stone City participate, but even people from very far away forces will come to join in the fun. Think about it, didn't a terrible battle take place not long ago? Maybe Third Master is afraid that it will affect the auction, so he deliberately created this stunt. After all, a fourth-grade alchemist doesn't appear casually, and no one knows whether there is one or not!"
"So according to what you mean, Shuo, is this matter fake? Did the Third Master deliberately release the news to the public? Is his purpose just to attract people's attention?" The middle-aged man in white robe asked with a frown.
"Otherwise, why do you think the Chamber of Commerce didn't announce this news earlier or later, but suddenly announced it before the auction? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Brother Feng said lightly.
"But I'm still a little worried. Third Master doesn't seem like the kind of person who does things without certainty. Generally speaking, if Third Master says there is something, then it probably really exists. I'm still a little worried about you." said the middle-aged Bai Pao.
"Hehe, what's there to worry about? I've been the Chief Auctioneer for so many years. Are they really going to replace me right away? Besides, alchemists can't be trained casually. Otherwise, why do you think the Small Buddha Sect is the only one in the entire Giant Stone City that has a fifth-grade alchemist, and there aren't even fourth-grade alchemists below. The Blood Chamber of Commerce is even worse off. There's only a third-grade alchemist like me, leading a bunch of first- and second-grade alchemists to refine pills for the Chamber of Commerce. Doesn't this just show how valuable alchemists are? Besides, even if there is a fourth-grade alchemist, what's the use? Haven't we won over enough alchemists here over the years? The title of Chief is fine, but if it cuts off my source of income, then you can't blame me for being rude."
Brother Feng chuckled and said with a sneer.
The middle-aged man in white robes waved his hands helplessly and said, "Alright, I'm just reminding you, but I think you should practice hard and improve your alchemy skills to the fourth level as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might lose your position one day."
"Tsk, do you really think a dignified third-grade alchemist like me would care about this position? Aren't you a bit naive? A third-grade alchemist like me would be a guest of honor in any faction I go to. What's there to worry about? If they want to recruit me, then they can recruit me! Besides, whether it's true or not is still up for debate. If it's fake, forget it. If it's true, then I'll go meet this so-called fourth-grade alchemist and see if he's really only seventeen years old. Haha, a fourth-grade alchemist needs to refine a fully effective fourth-grade pill. I want to see how this guy can refine it at his age!"
Brother Feng calmly picked up a cup of tea, drank it all and said.
"well!"
The middle-aged man in white robe looked at Brother Feng who looked indifferent, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Brother Feng, have you ever considered leaving here?"
"Huh? Leave here? What do you mean?" Brother Feng was stunned and said to the man in white robe.
"Ahem, Brother Feng, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask, have you ever considered developing somewhere else?" asked the middle-aged man in white robe.
"Hmm? Brother Bai Zhen, what do you mean by that? You're from the Blood Merchant Guild, yet you're asking me this question now. Don't you think it's a little strange?"
Brother Feng looked at Bai Zhen in front of him with a strange expression and asked.
"Haha, Brother Feng, I think you should understand even if I don't say it. You should also be more or less clear about my identity. Why do we have to make it so clear?" Bai Zhen looked at Brother Feng and said lightly.
Brother Feng stood up and looked at Bai Zhen with a hint of interest, saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I was wondering why you were so sneaky. Turns out you're a spy from another faction. Aren't you afraid that I'll just capture you and send you to the Third Master?"
"Hahaha! Because I know that Brother Feng, it is impossible for you to do this. Because I have helped you, you will not repay me with evil!" Bai Zhen said lightly.
"Oh? Really? You trust me so much?"
Brother Feng walked around behind Bai Zhen and said, "Don't forget, I'm still the chief alchemist of the Blood Merchants Guild. Are you really not afraid of danger by being honest with me?"
"I said, Brother Feng will definitely not be the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity. Besides, even if that incident didn't happen, I believe Brother Feng wouldn't do that." Bai Zhen said.
"You really trust me, haha. Tell me, which force are you from?" Brother Feng asked as he sat down.
