Chapter 268: Exchange Meeting
Pill Hall often held exchange meetings for Alchemists to share materials and experiences. Wang Hong occasionally attended these gatherings.
On this particular day, it was time for the Alchemist exchange meeting again. Wang Hong entered the grand hall where dozens of Alchemists were already seated.
Wang Hong greeted everyone and casually found a seat.
"Junior Brother Wang, how come you have time to attend the exchange meeting today? Aren't you busy with Alchemy?" Tang Wan'er happened to be sitting right next to Wang Hong, and she leaned over to ask.
They both passed the assessment on the same day and even had a bet back then. Wang Hong had once lost to her and had to give her a few bottles of Jade Bee Emperor Nectar.
So, they were quite familiar with each other, and they greeted each other every time they met.
"I'm not doing Alchemy today, Tang Senior Sister. Why do you ask?" Wang Hong was a bit puzzled by Tang Wan'er's question about Alchemy.
"Hehe! You've gained a nickname recently, maybe you don't know yet. Do you know how everyone refers to you behind your back?" Tang Wan'er said with a mischievous smile.
Wang Hong was completely puzzled. He had been focused on studying formations recently and hadn't paid much attention to other things, so he had no idea when he had acquired a nickname.
"Hehe! Everyone calls you the 'Alchemy Maniac.' They say if you don't practice Alchemy for a day, you won't be able to eat or sleep, and you'll feel completely drained." Wang Hong couldn't believe that people saw him as an Alchemy Maniac, considering that he had been spending most of his time studying formations lately.
Every time, he simultaneously refined thirty sets of materials and could produce over three hundred Pills, with a Pill Success Rate of slightly over sixty percent. No one would have expected him to have this kind of skill in Pill refinement, as it was rare for Alchemists to refine multiple batches of Pills at once.
"You're making me laugh. Lately, I've had some insights into Alchemy and wanted to refine more Pills to improve my Alchemy skills," Wang Hong explained with a smile.
"Did you hear the news, or are you pretending not to know?" Tang Wan'er asked mysteriously through Divine Sense Message Transmission.
"What news?" Wang Hong asked in confusion.
Once everyone had displayed their trade items, the exchange began, starting with a cultivator at the far east side of the hall.
This cultivator stood up, surveyed the room, and then said, "I'd like to exchange for Spirit Bee Royal Jelly. You can choose from the items on my table."
As he spoke, his eyes kept shifting towards Wang Hong's table. In the entire hall, only Wang Hong had a bottle of Spirit Bee Royal Jelly displayed.
Wang Hong glanced at the materials on the cultivator's table, most of which were Spiritual Herbs that didn't catch his eye.
After waiting for a while with no response, the cultivator had no choice but to sit back down in disappointment.
"I'd like to exchange for Spirit Bee Royal Jelly, White Crystal Fruit, Qianxue Grass, and Flame Blossom," another cultivator stood up and stated what he wanted to trade. He was a bit smarter, as he not only included Wang Hong's items in his offer but also added some extra options in case Wang Hong declined.
However, Wang Hong still didn't find any of his trade items appealing. He managed to complete some trades with other cultivators, though.
Finally, it was Wang Hong's turn to make a trade, and everyone was curious about what he needed.
"I'd like to exchange for second-tier or higher refining tool materials, or some branches of second-tier or third-tier spirit wood. You can choose from the items on my table," Wang Hong announced. He needed a substantial amount of refining tool materials, and relying solely on Xu Lun's purchases was too slow.
"Junior Brother Wang, I happen to have a piece of Elemental Iron Mother. Would you like to exchange it for second-tier Spirit Wine?" A red-faced cultivator stood up and was the first to propose a trade, seemingly afraid of someone else taking the opportunity.
Wang Hong agreed to the trade immediately, and they exchanged their items on the spot.
Three more cultivators approached Wang Hong with refining tool materials and traded them for Spirit Bee Royal Jelly, spirit fruit, and a 600-year-old Spiritual Herb, respectively.
