Master Qiao looked at the ugly faces of the old men and snorted coldly.

"Those buyers may not understand, but you old friends should know that we are alchemists ourselves. Only we know the market price of this thousand-year-old pill."

After coughing heavily again, Master Qiao said in a cold voice: "The standard market price of a Millennium Pill is one million high-grade spirit crystals. Although this price is relatively stable, no one has ever stipulated that the price of a Millennium Pill must be this price!"

"Millennium Pills, in the Fallen Star Ocean, the price of Millennium Pills is considered by everyone to be one million high-grade spirit crystals. That's because there are many big and powerful families in the Fallen Star Ocean who can mass-produce Millennium Pills in a stable and effective manner."

"Those big powers refine thousand-year pills, and not even one out of a thousand furnaces will break down. Naturally, the cost is very well controlled!"

"They have their own boundless medicinal fields. They sow and collect all the medicinal materials for refining the Millennium Pill themselves. For example, the main ingredient of the Millennium Pill is the 3,000-year-old Jade Ganoderma Lucidum. We have to work hard to purchase it one by one, but they pick it in batches every year!"

"So, the cost of purchasing a 3,000-year-old jade ganoderma is only 10% of our cost price, or even less than 10% for those big and powerful companies. Add to that the efficiency and stability of their refining of thousand-year-old pills, and their pill costs are very low!"

"The cost of refining the Millennium Pills by the big families is so low that they will naturally make huge profits when put on the market. Even if they go through layers of distributors who increase the price one by one and finally land in the hands of buyers, the price of one million high-quality spirit crystals can guarantee that the final distributors will have enough profits."

"Because the Millennium Pills refined by the big families account for more than half of the longevity pill market, everyone has come to the consensus that the price of the Millennium Pill should always be kept at over a million high-grade spirit crystals!"

Master Qiao said a lot of things in a row. He grabbed the teacup held by the girl beside him, gulped it down, and then took a few deep breaths: "But, now that this account has come to us, we can't just let it go like this."

"Our cost of purchasing raw materials is much higher than those of the big guys. Our failure rate in refining pills is also much higher than those of the big guys. We refine ten furnaces of thousand-year pills, but only one or two furnaces may be successful. How much does this cost?"

“Well, let alone…” Master Qiao blinked his eyes and suddenly sneered: “Forget it, let’s not count the cost today. In short, we will not make any profit by selling the Millennium Pill at the market price; in short, in the Windless Valley, the price of the Millennium Pill must be determined by us!”

The old men all nodded.

They all had calculations in their minds. In fact, even if they sold the various elixirs according to the market price, they could actually make considerable profits.

However, the Windless Valley Pill Guild, headed by Master Qiao, has monopolized most of the pill supply in Windless Valley! Forces like the Tiger Family, which are at the level of the Five Great Families, are still able to obtain some pill supplies from the great forces in the depths of the Fallen Star Ocean, but other families in Windless Valley, big or small, can only turn to the Pill Guild if they want certain pills!

Monopoly means higher profits, and Master Qiao is quite greedy for money, so the price of elixirs in the Windless Canyon is getting higher and higher!

Ultimately, this is something that benefits all the alchemists present here. Who would object to it?

Especially what Master Qiao said really touched the hearts of all the alchemists present - in the Windless Valley, the price of this thousand-year-old pill must be determined by them!

Monopoly brings not only profits in spiritual crystals, but also invisible power and influence!

They are all beneficiaries of vested interests. They will never allow, nor can they allow, a newcomer from unknown origin to affect their interests!

Not to mention, yesterday, the Wufeng City officials and the spiritual cultivation families represented by the five major families helped Chu Tian take over the Feng Shui treasure land of Hancui Cliff with great fanfare, and even arranged a top-level mountain protection formation for Chu Tian in the form of interest-free loans...

This is a treatment that none of the alchemists present here have ever enjoyed!

For example, Master Qiao, although the Bailuogou where he lives now was also presented to him by the five major families, his mountain protection formation was purchased with his own real money!

Interest-free loan?

Everyone knew clearly that the so-called interest-free loan meant that as long as Chu Tian did not leave the Windless Canyon, he would not have to pay back the money; if Chu Tian wanted to leave the Windless Canyon, the account would have to be carefully calculated, but after all, no interest would be charged!

Such treatment!

Such treatment!

All the alchemists were jealous and envious!

They were even more alert, fearing that the local forces in Windless Canyon, led by the five major families, wanted to warn them indirectly by supporting this newcomer?

They asked themselves, it seemed that in recent times, the price of their medicine pills had increased more frequently, and the increase was too much!

However, this absolutely cannot be a reason or excuse for the Alchemy Guild to bow to the five major families!

The medicine market in Windless Valley must be decided by them, no one else’s words can have any impact!

An elegant-looking old man with white hair and wearing a purple robe stood up and bowed solemnly to Master Qiao: "Master Qiao, what do you think we should do with this arrogant kid?"

They didn't even say "deal with" or "deal with", but directly used the word "dispose of". This shows how arrogant these alchemists in the Windless Canyon have become!

Master Qiao snorted softly, picked up a nut with a green shell, and crushed it with his fingers. He said coldly: "I have asked my disciples Du Juan and Hai Tang to send a gift to this kid. Hey, it contains a pill recipe, a bottle of 'Black Sweet Pill'... Let's see if he can refine the 'Da Huang Pill' and identify the efficacy of the 'Black Sweet Pill'!"

All the alchemists were shocked and moved!

Rhubarb Pill, this is Master Qiao's unique skill. The recipe of Rhubarb Pill is in the hands of all the alchemists present here, but in the entire Windless Canyon, Master Qiao is the only one who can make Rhubarb Pill!

As for the Black Sweet Pill, this is Master Qiao's unique secret skill, an exclusive pill recipe developed by him. None of the alchemists present here know the formula and refining method of the Black Sweet Pill.

But they knew the effectiveness of the Black Sweet Pill!

If someone accidentally ingested the Black Sweet Pill, even a spiritual practitioner at the Sky-peeping Realm would become limp and fall into a deep sleep. After taking the Black Sweet Pill, the drug's power would slightly damage the soul, greatly depleting the vitality. At first, it would only cause a drop in realm, but if it lasted for a long time, there would be a danger of the soul being annihilated and completely dying.

The Black Sweet Pill is actually an extremely dangerous poison pill!

Master Qiao actually sent his disciples to deliver the Black Sweet Pill as a gift?

Master Qiao's methods are so cruel and vicious!

However, all the alchemists present were smiling happily.
