Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

A month of time!

That's way too long!

Especially at the early stage of the Battle for Ten Thousand Realms, time is incredibly precious.

The earlier one becomes a Divine Hall Alchemist, the greater the benefits.

But they've all failed, wasting a month, destined to miss a lot of the alchemy boom and many lucrative opportunities.

Frustrating!

Extremely frustrating!

But there's nothing they can do!

"Sigh~!"

On the high platform, the white-haired elder sighed and opened his pill furnace, taking out three wasted elixirs.

"The assessment is too hard! I've given my all, yet I still failed. These three wasted elixirs are just distressing to look at!"

The elder looked at the wasted elixirs in his hand with a bitter smile.

At that moment, he just wanted to crush those wasted elixirs.

It was then that a loud voice came from below the platform.

"Elder, may I ask if these wasted elixirs are for sale?"

The elder was taken aback and looked in the direction of the voice, discovering it was a young man in the Yellow Tier Realm.

It was Wang Teng.

The elder couldn't help but frown slightly.

He was already in a foul mood due to the assessment failure.

And now this kid comes up asking if he's selling, it's just a joke!

He impatiently responded, "I'm not selling!"

"I'll offer 10 Contribution Value for one!"

Wang Teng directly named his price.

As soon as those words fell, everyone was puzzled, and the tall, beautiful woman also looked over doubtfully.

Everyone knows that wasted elixirs are worthless, and donating them only gets you 1 Contribution Value.

This young man actually offered 10 Contribution Value for one.

Is he serious?

The elder was also startled.

Then, he chuckled coldly, "A mere 10 Contribution Value is nothing to me. Now, even if you offer a high price, I won't sell!"

"30 Contribution Value!"

"Hehe~! 30 Contribution Value, I..."

"100 Contribution Value!"

"Young man, how many do you want to buy?"

The elder's tone instantly changed, walking over to Wang Teng with utmost courtesy and a big smile on his face.

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

The tall, beautiful woman was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

Oh my god~!

100 Contribution Value for a wasted elixir!

The price increased 100 times!

This young man must be crazy, right?

"As many as you have, I'll buy them all!"

Wang Teng smiled calmly.

"Is this for real?"

The elder almost thought he misheard.

"Of course it's real."

"I have a total of 137 wasted elixirs."

Wang Teng said cheerfully, "I'll take them all!"

Bang~!

Those words shook the whole arena!

Oh my god!

100 Contribution Value for a wasted elixir!

All 137 of them bought!

This young man is definitely crazy!

"Boom~!"

The elder was even more shocked, trembling with excitement.

"Friend... I'll bring them right to you."

Then, he took out more than a hundred wasted elixirs and respectfully presented them to Wang Teng, with utmost sincerity in his attitude.

To say he was courteous would be an understatement, as if Wang Teng were a lord of his family.

Wang Teng cheerfully completed the transaction.

In the blink of an eye, 137 wasted elixirs in hand, he felt immensely satisfied.

To others, wasted elixirs are essentially worthless, valued at just 1 Contribution Value each.

Wang Teng buying a wasted elixir for 100 Contribution Value seemed like an astronomical loss.

But for Wang Teng, it was a huge gain.

He had Endless Extraction, capable of turning waste into value.

Moreover, even a poor-quality Tier One Spirit Pill, casually donated, could earn three to four hundred Contribution Value.

By that measure, he was definitely making a huge profit.

Upon exchanging, both parties were delighted.

"Thank you, my friend! Thank you!"

The elder continued to bow in gratitude to Wang Teng.

Becoming an alchemist was a hugely costly venture in the early stages.

He had put all his Contribution Value into buying herbs to increase his alchemy skill level.

By the time his alchemy reached the intermediate level, he was nearly broke.

Wang Teng's purchase had greatly alleviated his financial crisis, leaving him deeply grateful.

Those around witnessing this scene could only sigh and shake their heads.

Unbelievable!

The guy actually traded!

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man and the two ladies in yellow dresses on the high platform exchanged glances.

Then, they both walked down to Wang Teng.

The middle-aged man hesitated a little before speaking, slightly embarrassed.

"My friend, do you still want more wasted elixirs?"

"Yes! How many do you have?"

"126!"

"Great, I'll take them all."

Bang~!

The crowd was once again in an uproar!

The man couldn't hide his excitement: "Thank you, my friend! Thank you!"

He then took out the wasted elixirs and completed the transaction with Wang Teng.

Both parties were joyful!

The lady in the yellow dress couldn't help herself, hurried forward, and bowed to Wang Teng.

"My friend, I have 128 wasted elixirs here, may I..."

"I'll take them all!"

Bang~!

The crowd was shocked once more!

"Thank you, my friend!"

The lady in the yellow dress was overjoyed, completing another transaction with Wang Teng.

Just then, a tall, beautiful woman approached, standing next to the lady in the yellow dress, her eyes also filled with joy.

At the same time, she looked at Wang Teng with a hint of concern, slowly saying, "My friend, you can't take these wasted elixirs; they could be deadly."

Wang Teng replied with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, miss, but I'm aware."

Before the beautiful woman could say more, the entire crowd was already in an uproar!

In the crowd, alchemists rushed toward Wang Teng.

"Are you still buying wasted elixirs? I have sixty or so!"

"Hello, I have over thirty!"

"This handsome young man, I have more than fifty here too!"

"This living Bodhisattva, I have some too, are you still buying?"

All the alchemists looked at Wang Teng with eager eyes, each more polite and respectful than the last.

At this moment, Wang Teng was full of grandeur, "I'll take them all!"

Bang~!

Instantly, the entire arena was in an uproar!

The alchemists cheered in unison.

People around were shocked beyond words.

"An absolute tycoon~!"

"Indeed~! 100 Contribution Value for a wasted elixir, he's bought over a thousand! That's over ten thousand Contribution Value! So rich!"

"But what can those wasted elixirs be used for? You can't spend Contribution Value like this!"

"The world of the wealthy, we just don't get it!"

The crowd marveled.

Many felt a twinge of pain for Wang Teng's extravagant spending.

Before long, the transactions were complete.

Wang Teng had acquired over two thousand one hundred wasted elixirs, greatly improving his mood.

This was an incredible harvest!

The alchemists were delighted too, expressing their gratitude to Wang Teng.

Having secured the wasted elixirs, Wang Teng no longer lingered with the alchemists.

Next, he would challenge the Divine Hall's certification assessment.
