    Chapter 2530


    Jackie let out an exasperatedugh as he turned to look at Rudy. “You seem quite confident in yourself.”


    To Rudy, Jackie’s words were like a p to his face, and the old Rudy would have snapped back at


    Jackie. However, he no longer had that courage when facing Jackie.


    No matter if it was alchemy orbat, Jackie was much better than him.


    Rudy’s lips twitched as he reluctantly reasoned, “I do have the confidence. I’m quite sure I can condense


    nine hundred pill runes. After refining it, three hundred spirit crystals isn’t too bad for me.”

    Jackie let out a slightugh as he said calmly, “How many alchemists like you, do you think they are in


    the whole outer valley?”


    Rudy looked at Jackie warily. When he noticed how serious Jackie was, he thought about it for a moment


    before answering, “There should be about ten or twenty of them.”

    Jackie nodded; Rudy’s estimate was about the same as his.


    Jackie then said to Rudy, “If there are ten or twenty of them, why is the task still put up there? Aren’t you


    curious?”


    Jackie’s question made Rudy assess the situation in a different light, and he then thought it was rather


    peculiar as well. The task hall was bustling with activity, and alchemists in the valley would walk around


    the ce at any given time.


    After all, they needed to umte wealth and umte experience in alchemy. It meant that the


    task hall was necessary.

    The task had been there for five days already, and those who were at around the same level of talent


    and skill as them should have taken up the task already if they thought it was suitable.


    Oddly, no one took up the task for the whole five days.


    There had to be a reason, but Rudy was too stumped, unable to find a usible reason for it. After


    thinking about it for a long time, he felt like his brain had turned to mush.


    He decided to just look up at Jackie sincerely. “My mind is a mess right now, Jackie. I don’t understand.


    Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what it is.”


    Jackie let out a sigh. “The reason is simple: those who are stronger than you won’t care about three


    hundred spirit crystals. Those who are at around the same level as you won’t easily ept the task.


    “Don’t forget, the materials needed for the Thousand Flower Antidote cost five hundred spirit crystals.


    Five hundred spirit crystals can only get you one portion, which means you can’t fail.


    “The moment you fail and have to buy another batch of materials, you’d be making a loss. Those around


    your level can’t guarantee sess, which is why they won’t easily ept this task. That’s why the task


    has been here for so long.”


    Jackie’s exnation was so detailed that even a wild boar by the side of the road would be able to


    understand him.


    Rudy pped his forehead at that.

    “That exins why the task has been here for so long. I thought that I’d finally snagged an easy profit,


    but I stood corrected in the end… I’m actually not that confident that I’ll be able to sessfully refine it in


    one go.”


    Jackie nodded. He felt like Rudy was only barely a sixth-grade alchemist. After all, all he could do was


    refine an Energy Breaking Pill and condense 800 pill runes.


    He might be able to try and potentially seed with 900 pill runes, but there was no guarantee that the


    pill would have a 50 percent refinement after he condensed the runes.


    A pill without a 50-percent refinement was a failure.


    With that in mind, Rudy let out a bitterugh.
