---- Chapter 2506 Theon trembled as he tried to suppress his rage. Deep down, he knew Andrew''s alchemy skills truly did qualify him to look down on him. Andrew said calmly, "Secondly, smart men, like Mr. Kan here, have already figured out why I came. Since I''m here, obviously, I came to bring Iron Sword Sect some real medicine. Otherwise, why would I bother showing up to disturb anyone?" He smirked. "Unlike certain people who nickel-and-dime every deal they make with Mr. Kan, fussing over scraps of profit.
Honestly, we''re all respectable people here, and I can''t stand that kind of petty behavior. No ss, no generosity at all." Mika''s face darkened, and Theon''s expression grew even uglier. Devin burst into heartyughter. "Andrew, you''ve got guts, I''l give you that. Alright then, let''s hear it. What are you offering?" Andrew smiled slightly. "It''s simple. Whatever Sovereign''s Apothecary offered, Medicine God''s Covenant will lower the price by one-third. And every year, I''ll personally gift Iron Sword Sect one eighth-grade divine pill.
Of course, if our profits are good that year, I might even throw in a ninth-grade supreme elixir." ---- Devin''s eyebrows twitched twice in disbelief. "What did you just say? You''re offering an eighth-grade divine pill, and possibly a ninth-grade supreme elixir, for free?" Andrew swept his gaze around the hall, meeting every stunned face before nodding with satisfaction. "That''s right. I said it''s a gift, an eighth-grade, or even a ninth- grade supreme elixir. You can have someone record my words if you like." Theon finally snapped and roared, "Bullshit! Andrew, do you really think Mr.
Kan would believe your nonsense? A ninth- grade supreme elixir? As if you can just hand one out! No one here is dumb enough to fall for that crap!" Andrew shrugged. "If you don''t believe me, that''s your problem. But Mr. Kan hasn''t said a word yet, has he?" Franco''s tone turned sharp and cold. "It''s not just Mr. Orben who doesn''t believe you; I don''t either. Are you done putting on your little show? If so, kindly get the hell out of my sight." Unbothered, Andrew flipped his hand over and revealed a small, crystal box. With a light click, he opened the lid.
Instantly, a white, pearl-like pill shimmered inside, and a strong, intoxicating fragrance filled the air. Theon, being an eighth-grade divine alchemist, reacted first." ---- That''s a ninth-grade Starlight Elixir! It''s used to help martial saints ascend to the level of martial emperors! Damn it, this bastard actually brought something like that?" Mika''s eyes gleamed with greed, her breath quickening. "Mr. Orben, are you sure it''s really a ninth-grade Starlight Elixir? What if it''s fake? I heard this kind of pill is incredibly hard to make.<fnd4cb> Newest update provided by Find_Novel(.</fnd4cb>
Even if he has the skill, there''s no way he could''ve gotten the ingredients." Theon snapped, his voice icy. "Are you questioning my expertise? There''s no mistake that it''s a genuine Starlight Elixir. That distinct scent, ethereal and pure, there''s no confusing it. That brat is clearly willing to bleed money just to sabotage Sovereign''s Apothecary." Franco looked like he could barely hold himself back from lunging forward. He was only one step away from reaching the level of martial emperor, and that elixir was exactly what he needed. Heughed. "So you''ve been hiding something, huh?
Well then, bring it over. If you''re that sincere, I''ll let Mr. Kan decide how to proceed."<style>
