Chapter 8 Son Of Luck
'Finally, found you!'
"Old man, what are the prices of these pill pots?" I said in a questioning tone.
"Ten spirit stones for one pill pot, if you buy in a stock the price will be eight stone." The old man said with his eyes closed.
"Old man, aren't you looting in the daytime? We don't know if there are pills or not. What if I don't get even a single pill?" I said in a displeased tone. For the current me this price is nothing but I have a habit of bargaining from my previous life that I couldn't change.
"Young man if you got a pill or not, it all depends on your luck, even if you did not get a single pill at least these failed pills have medical properties you can absorb them." The old man glanced at me and said with a look that said I don't care if you get it or not.
"If you give me a price at four spirit stones. I will buy them all, what do you say ?" Wang Chen said.
"Nah! It will not be profitable for me. Seven spirit stones if you want or not ?" The old man said.
Wang Chen started bargaining with the old man and finally settled on the price of five spirit stones. Wang Chen bought 15 pill pots from the old man and gave him 75 spirit stones. Wang Chen is rich now with a capital of 10000 spirit stones but that doesn't mean he can squander his wealth, who knows one day he urgently needs the money but he doesn't have enough money. So it is better to prepare in advance for a situation like this. After buying them Wang Chen returned to his cabin.
At the same time, somewhere in the Red Lotus sect, Yue Mingluan was talking about the new technique he chose from the library with his brother but suddenly his face became pale and he felt like something important to him was stolen again just like he felt in Library.
After returning to his cabin, Wang Chen close the door and sat down. According to the system Yue Mingluan bought six pill pots. But Wang Chen couldn't just directly find the fifth order pill. So, he has to buy all the pots. If he didn't buy all the pill pots he was sure Yue Mingluan will get this 5th order pill. Without wasting his time he started opening pill pots one by one.
...
"Sigh"
"I have opened 13 pill pots but I couldn't even find a single pill. Seems like it's hard to get a pill. Let's open the next pill pot."
Just as I opened the pill pot I found a pill like any other failed pill appearance. But to see if the pill is failed or not we have to use Qi on the surface of the pill. If the pill cracked and turned into dust then it's a waste pill but if the pill cracked and didn't turn into dust then inside the cracked black surface we can find the real pill.
Wang Chen applied Qi to the pill and the black surface started to crack but the pill didn't turn into dust this means the pill is real when the black dust was removed there was a light green colour pill. A sweet aroma was released from the pill and the moment I smelled the aroma, all the pores in my body were opened, suddenly the system sound rang out in my mind confirming the opportunity.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for intercepting Yue Mingluan's chance and getting 500 Destiny Points]
After getting the message I was excited about taking the pill quickly. So I threw aside the 15th pill pot because I already knew my luck wouldn't be so good that I could get a pill of this level again but something unexpected happened that I wasn't prepared for. When the 15th pill that I throw on the side didn't get destroyed because when I threw it I applied a little Qi so this means the pill is real. I was happy with the fact that I got another pill. So I picked it up to check which order the pill is, but suddenly I got another notification from the system.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for intercepting first-time son of luck Yue Jang and getting 5000 Destiny Points ]historical
'Huh?'
This message startled me because this was the first time I got so many Destiny Points and it was not a normal person but the son of luck aka protagonist. From the name of the protagonist, I can guess it's from the Yue Mingluan's family because their surname is the same. Then the protagonist will be most likely to be in the Red Lotus sect and from the destiny Points I obtained is not a small number so it must not be a normal opportunity.
"System what's this pill order and its uses ?"
I couldn't find anything special from the people because it doesn't release a sweet aroma like the previous pill and it's just pure white in colour.
[ Ding! Host intercepted an 8th order pill from the son of luck which doesn't only help in cleansing impurities from the body even it will strengthen your soul to a new level ]
"Wh-what?"
I finally understood why the destiny Points were this much because an 8th order pill cannot be found in the wukang kingdom, this can only be available in the canglian dynasty. Even in the canglian dynasty, there are not many 8th order pill refiner and if someone wants to refine a pill that can help people strengthen their soul then the pill refiner at least needs to be a 9th order refiner. To refine soul-type energy their mental energy must be very high so they can precisely control their soul to make a soul-type pill.
A soul-type pill can only be refined with the help of a person's soul and to bear the mental pressure of using the soul to refine a pill cannot be low, it can be said only those who are not far away from reaching legendary 10th order refiner can do such a thing.
