Dual Cultivation: Ying Yang is way to Chaos Chapter 459: Commission

Sun Xiurong didn’t pay them any attention and entered inside the pavilion. Her sect robe was enough for them to not obstruct her path, and since Lin Feng was beside her, he wasn’t questioned either.

The interior of the shop was very lavish. Even though Sun Xiurong mentioned it to be a small shop, it was one of the grandest pavilions in the town.

There was a small amount of crowd inside the shop, but those who were present were all very prominent-looking cultivators, with their robes screaming of wealth.

"Welcome, honoured guests, what would you like to purchase?"

An attendant immediately joined them, and Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly as this attendant was at the Peak of the Initiation Realm.

"Show us some good cauldrons," Sun Xiurong wasn’t much surprised seeing the attendant’s cultivation realm was similar to hers.

The attendant nodded, but she also wondered if one of them was an alchemist or they were just buying it to please some alchemist to refine their pills on priority, "Please come with me..."

They walked towards a particular section of the shop, and when they arrived, they saw a lot of cauldrons, pill bottles, and special wooden boxes placed on special racks.

"What grade of cauldron are you looking for, esteemed guests?"

Sun Xiurong was about to say something when she got reminded of the terrifying Pure Yang Flame of Lin Feng.

"Immortal Lin..."

She thought it was better to let him decide, as she didn’t know how strong that flame really was.

Lin Feng wasn’t interested in overly special cauldrons for the time being, so he just pointed towards a particular one, "That will do..."

The attendant and Sun Xiurong looked at the cauldron he had pointed at. It was just an unassuming Peak Initiation Grade cauldron.

"Esteemed guest, that cauldron isn’t suitable if you are gifting it to someone," the attendant pitched in, "It’s very dull..."

They always got treasures like these from the Ancient Battlefield.

"How much is it?" Lin Feng didn’t try to correct her assumption, nor did he care about aesthetics when refining pills. If not for creating a ruckus, he wouldn’t have even needed these cauldrons for refining low realm pills.

The attendant sighed, "5000 high-grade spirit stones..."

They usually sold new Peak Initiation Grade treasures for around 10000 to 12000 high-grade spirit stones, but since this one was a used and old cauldron, they were generous enough to sell it cheaply.

"Alright, we will take it," Sun Xiurong could feel that Lin Feng had made up his mind, so she took out 5000 high-grade spirit stones and passed them to the attendant.

The attendant looked at the spirit stones and nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, here is your cauldron," she passed the cauldron to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng caught it and inspected it slightly. It was sturdier than it looked. He imbued it with his weakened flames, and the heating effect was also to his liking, so he was satisfied.

The attendant was still with them, so when she saw him use the flame, her eyes widened slightly. So it wasn’t a gift, but this person himself was planning to use it. It’s rare to see an alchemist who isn’t from Alchemy Hall in this town.

"Esteemed guest, are you an alchemist?"

"I think you already have an inclination, Fairy..." Lin Feng dragged his voice at the end.

"I am Meng Shuying," she immediately introduced herself, "If you don’t mind me asking, are you a disciple of Mysterious Heaven Sect?"

Meng Shuying was a little confused about this part, as he wasn’t wearing the robes of Mysterious Heaven Sect while his companion was.

"Not yet, but if they accept me, then I might become one," Lin Feng stored the cauldron inside his ring and was about to leave when he heard her voice again.

"I see, so are you planning to refine some pills in this town?" Meng Shuying had a feeling that this was the reason he bought the cauldron.

Lin Feng looked at her and nodded, "Yes, I am," he understood what she was trying to do.

"In that case..," Meng Shuying became slightly excited, "If you are interested and are staying in this town for few days, then I would like to commission you to refine a specific type of pill. Of course, you have to prove your worth first and sign a Heavenly Oath not to use that formula to create pills for your own self-interest for a few years atleast..."

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised hearing that. Treasure houses like this have a lot of pill formulas, and some of them might be unique and deemed profitable by them.

They usually hire alchemists or invest in the growth of their own alchemists to create the pills they require.

In this small town though, they wouldn’t bring out their own alchemists, so hiring was the best option for them.

"Rest assured, you will definitely be paid enough to make it worthwhile, definitely more than you would get from refining the same grade of pill," Meng Shuying saw that he was contemplating, so she tried to entice him more.

Lin Feng shook his head, "Thank you for your offer, but I won’t be accepting this commission..."

The real problem with accepting such a commission is the Heavenly Oath. Their pill formula might be unique, but given his knowledge, there was a chance that he already knew about it.

So, why would he take an oath not to refine something which he already had knowledge about? That isn’t a fair deal. Although, he didn’t blame Meng Shuying for the offer, since in her eyes he was just a new junior alchemist who had just started to walk the path of alchemy.

Meng Shuying was surprised hearing the rejection, "May I know the reason, Immortal..."

This time it was her who dragged her voice in a similar manner as Lin Feng previously.

Lin Feng smiled, "Lin Feng... As for the reason, what is the guarantee that I don’t know the formula beforehand?"

Meng Shuying was taken aback before nodding, "I see, so that’s the issue..."

Meng Shuying was confident that he wouldn’t know that formula, but she couldn’t say that, as all alchemists are a little prideful in nature, and she didn’t want to create a rift between them.
