Chapter 3313 — Absolute Folly

Gu Mengyao was about to answer, but Wei Zhao cut her off. Paying Xiao San not the slightest heed, he went on speaking to Gu Mengyao: "The grade-two automatic pill cauldrons on our side are about to hit the market. Does the Dark Night Palace want a few?"
Gu Mengyao was briefly startled, then understood that Wei Zhao held their visitors in utter contempt. She smiled faintly and said, "If it can be arranged, of course we'd want some. This doesn't count as pulling strings, does it?"
"Heh, we're all one family. I'll speak to Jingjing about it," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Mm-hm, then I won't bother attending any reservation-qualification contest," Gu Mengyao laughed. To drum up excitement, the cultivators' trade fair did not let just anyone attend the debut sale of grade-two automatic pill cauldrons—one first had to enter the reservation-qualification contest and win a bidding qualification before one could join the auction!
After all, every cultivator now knew of the marvels of the grade-one automatic pill cauldron. With the grade-two cauldron coming to market, Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical was a name of gold—no longer like the early days of the grade-one cauldron, when everyone had regarded it with doubt. Now, even before release, it had drawn the attention of numerous ancient sects!
And the Dark Night Palace, where Gu Mengyao dwelt, naturally wished to buy a few automatic pill cauldrons as well. If they proved as convenient as the grade-one cauldrons of old, then the Dark Night Palace's grade-one alchemist could likewise refine grade-two pills!
It should be noted that this grade-one alchemist of the Dark Night Palace already possessed the skill to refine grade-two pills; it was only a lack of experience and poor control that made him fail time and again, and so he had never formally become a grade-two alchemist.
If this grade-two automatic pill cauldron were like the grade-one—making no harsh demands of the alchemist, requiring only that one could manipulate pill fire and alter temperature to refine pills—then the Dark Night Palace too could produce grade-two pills.
"My god! Are your ears deaf? Did you not hear me speak?" Xiao San was about to explode with rage. This was contempt of the most naked kind—they did not regard him at all! At this moment, he could bear it no longer!
Watching the direction in which the gatekeeping disciple had fled, Wei Zhao's eyes flickered with a faint, keen light—for what he was really looking at was not the gatekeeping disciple, but a familiar face not far away. That person was Zhao Qibing!
Damn it all—you still play the big shot with me, Wei Zhao? You think I don't know your true situation? A mere mid Heaven rank expert, chased across the seas like a stray dog! If you'd put on airs with me before, I might have been misled by the rumors and not dared to act rashly—but now, why should I fear a bird like you?
Do you fancy that word of those overseas affairs has not yet spread here, and that you still have some capital for arrogance? How utterly absurd! RS
