“Antidote to the golden scorpion venom? How is that possible?!”
“The golden scorpion’s poison is incomparable. Once someone is stung, they’ll die within a few minutes. How could there be an antidote for it?”
Nobody believed them.
“You should be a new student and should have the antidote for the previous golden scorpion’s venom right? You guys may not know, but the venom is no longer the same as it was before.” Hua Piao Miao ‘kindly’ reminded them.
“I am called Sima You Yue, not New Student.” Sima You Yue said lightly.
This white lotus was very fake. She had been addressing her as ‘New Student’ the whole way. Was she not holding her in contempt?
“Hua Piao Miao, this is where you’re wrong. You don’t even know the situation, so how do you know what Sima You Yue is talking about?” Tang Yan said, “You Yue already realised on the second day that the venom of the golden scorpion was not the same. Then, he, along with Bei Gong Tang and the others, came up with a new kind of antidote. This antidote treats the current golden scorpion.”
“Impossible! Initially, our alchemists just said that there was simply no way to research an antidote for this venom. He is a seventh ranked alchemist. If even he can’t do it, how could the few sixth ranked alchemists such as yourselves be able to?”
Bei Gong Tang and Ouyang Fei were sixth ranked alchemists during the competition, and they recognised them now.
“Just because you guys can’t, doesn’t mean that we can’t. Are you an idiot?” Little Seven rolled her eyes.
“Did you guys really discover a cure? Can we see?” A lady in a sky blue skirt walked out from the back. Sima You Yue recognised her. She was the one who was a seventh ranked alchemist during the competition.
She seemed to be called Shui Rou.
Humble and gentle, she did not disdain them or act arrogant simply because Sima You Yue and the others were new students.
“You can see it if you want, but you have to buy it after seeing it.” Tang Yan said.
“How much is it? I’ll buy it.” Shui Rong said gently.
“Guard Pill will be two hundred middle ranked crystals. The cure will be two thousand middle ranked crystals. If you only want to buy the antidote after being stung, it will be four thousand crystals.” Tang Yan said.
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows wordlessly. This guy had doubled the price!
“So expensive!” Someone at the back cried out.
“How is that expensive?” Tang Yan retorted, “Why don’t you guys think about it? How much money goes into the herbs required to refine it, how much energy goes into crafting it, how many brain cells of his died while researching it? How much does a usual sixth ranked pill go for? Also, there are scorpions all around the desert, how dangerous are they now? This is its exclusive antidote! We even took into account the fact that we are sectmates that we gave you a discount. If we sold this to outsiders, one pill would go for ten thousand middle ranked crystals.”
“That’s right, do you want it or not!” Little Seven added on.
Shui Rong smiled, saying, “Senior Tang makes sense. Comparing the value with the price, it is worth it. Give me one each.”
She took out a crystal card and handed it to Tang Yan. Tang Yan passed it over to Sima You Yue after receiving it, even giving her a wink. His meaning seemed to be that he had helped her to double the price and to give him a share of the profits later.
Sima You Yue took out her own crystal card and took out two thousand and two hundred crystals. Then, she took out two jade bottles and poured a pill out each.
“The red one is the pill to guard against it. The golden one is the antidote.”
Shui Rong took the pill and sniffed each one, asking, “What does the pill to guard against it do?”
