Chapter 57
"This Burning Lotus Pill was almost exactly the same as the Profound Progress Pill, except there were some ingredients missing, therefore the quality was lower and the 90% chance of success was pitiful …" Su Yang thought to himself when he mentioned the recipe for Madam Wang.
The Profound Progression Pill was an ordinary pill in his previous life in the four great worlds that had the exact same effect as the Burning Lotus Pill, but instead of being 90% successful, it was, they are all known to be effective 100% of the time.
However, the way Madam Wang treated the Burning Lotus Pill was as if it was some kind of precious treasure. This made Su Yang wonder what happened with the Profound Progress Pill, or whether it still existed in this world.
"He ... he actually managed to guess the recipe just by smelling the pill …?" Madam Wang muttered to herself in a dazed voice, seemingly in an extremely shocked state.
Forget his limited knowledge, even the Alchemy Masters in his Burning Lotus Palace would not be able to do what Su Yang — had just done not to mention that he had never heard of anyone in the history of Alchemy who was achieved similar achievements.
"Hows it? Did I guess correctly?" Despite knowing that she was right, Su Yang still asked her with a mischievous smile.
"I ... I ..." Madam Wang was so shocked that she couldn't even open her mouth to speak properly, so she decided to nod her head.
After taking a long time to calm down, he asked with a serious expression: "How did you do it? Only a select few from the Burning Lotus Palace could figure out the recipe for the Burning Lotus Pill, so chances are you already knew before coming here right beside zero. "
"I told you that I have a good friend in the Dao of Alchemy, right? After being next to that person for so many years, even if you don't like Alchemy, you will still learn a thing or two about it … "Su Yang said with a smile that carried a feeling of affection.
When Madam Wang saw her expression, her heart started to throb even faster. What could he think of that would cause him to make such an expression? Who is this friend of his? His interest was shaken, but he did not open his mouth to ask, as it would be a strange thing when they had just met today, as it was about to be, not to mention the unpleasant first impression they had on each other.
"Now that I've shown you a little bit of what I can do, let's continue our business. The reason the Lotus Burning Pill had a 90% success rate and not a simple 100% success rate; it lost some key ingredients. "Su Yang continued:" This is my second offer — I'll give you the missing ingredients, but you won't share it with anyone — even to the people in your Sect. Besides, you'll be mine. I Do not want Your Body, only Your help in some ways along with Your undivided loyalty. "

I Do not want Your Body, only Your help in some ways along with Your undivided loyalty. "
Su Yang believed that making her the sole holder of the recipe would greatly increase her ego and loyalty towards him if she accepted his offer, hence why she did not want him to spread the recipe. And in all honesty, he did not care about a mere pill that was only useful to those in the Basic Spirit Realm.
"Also, judging from the vague scent of medicine and potions in your scent, I can tell that you are studying the Alchemy Dao. If I am happy with your help, then I might even share with you a thing or two about Dao Alchemy, which will guarantee you great success as an Alchemy Master. "
"…"
Madam Wang silently looked at Su Yang with wide eyes as she spoke. He did not know what to think about the situation, or how to react. This was the first time he had listened to someone who did not even see half his age talk to him in such a way.
"It's a pity .." Su Yang shook his head and also stood up.
"It's a pity .." Su Yang shook his head and also stood up.
"If you don't accept my offer, then you can forget about it and help me sell my monster cores—"
"Wait a minute! Who said anything about rejecting your offer?" Madam Wang then cleared her throat and continued with a flushed face: "What help do you want from me?"
Although annoyed with Su Yang, he could see the advantage of shaking hands with him. The Burning Lotus Pill was already considered a top-tier pill in the cultivation world with a 90% chance of success%, so what reaction would the world receive if Su Yang really had the recipe for a 100% success rate pill%? It would definitely shock the world to the point!
"…"
Now it was Su Yang's turn to be dumbfounded by her words, as he did not expect her to say such a thing right after sounding offended by her offer.
"Simple, really. In exchange for fame and repetition, I just want you to give me the resources and make some pills for me using the recipe I'll give you later" he said a few seconds later.

Madam Wang closed her eyes to think. When he opened his eyes again, uncertainty appeared within.
"It's a charming offer, really. However, unfortunately for both of us, I am only an Alchemy apprentice, so concocting the Lotus Burning Pill is impossible for me, let alone anything you want me to make. And if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose me to help you even though our meeting wasn't pleasant? If you really need someone to help you concoct your pills, then there are plenty of other better options out there, "he said to her in a desperate tone, clearly not happy with his status as an Alchemy apprentice.
"And you're clearly more educated than I am in the Dao of Alchemy, so why don't you do it yourself?"
Hearing her question, Su Yang smiled. "Because I have more important things to do. And I'm not someone who holds a grudge, especially not against a beautiful woman like yourself. I chose you only because I can see the talent within you."
"What's? I'm talented?" Madam Wang flushed red after being called beautiful by Su Yang, which she thought was quite confusing, since she had long since adapted to people praising her appearance. Moreover, he would normally not act so bashfully in front of others, yet why would he do the right thing now, let alone in front of such a young man? It was as if there was something about Su Yang that made him react differently.
“Others may not be aware, even you may not be aware, but I can see the talent in you when it comes to the Dao of Alchemy.” He said to her with a mysterious smile, and deep within his gaze was flashing a deep light.
