Seeing Su Yuan resolutely refuse, Xiong Chunyang could only sigh deeply in regret.

"Speaking of which, I didn’t expect that you, boss, could also practice alchemy?" Xiong Chunyang turned and said.

Su Yuan casually replied, "It’s just a skill I picked up in my spare time."

A skill picked up in spare time?

Xiong Chunyang smacked his lips; a Third-level Detoxification Pill—that’s an elixir that only a master can concoct!

Alchemists and artifact refiners don’t have as many levels as the Array Path.

Concocting Third-level Elixirs and Master Star Artifacts is the mastery level; Fourth-level Elixirs and Epic Star Artifacts is grandmaster level; Fifth-level Elixirs and Legendary Holy Artifacts is grandmaster level!

Xiong Chunyang asked, "Boss, do you plan to integrate into these sea gangs by providing elixirs?"

Su Yuan replied, "Not just alchemy but also array path and others.

The Western Desert is located in the southwest of the continent, in a remote position, limited in star veins, and lacks experts adept in the Four Arts.

Now that the star sand has gradually dispersed and the archipelagos are emerging, resources are more abundant.

The Western Desert doesn’t lack resources but lacks people to utilize them, so this is a good entry point.

It can gradually build Qingming’s reputation without inciting hostility from the local sea gangs, and later, it can also attract many talents in the Four Arts."

Su Yuan, being new here, did not plan to become enemies with the local powerhouses or use force to directly subdue the major sea gangs.

If he were to subdue the major sea gangs with force, it would undoubtedly provoke strong resistance from them.

With Su Yuan’s current cultivation at the Early Sun Level, regardless of whether his strength allows it, even if he could suppress the major sea gangs by force, it would inevitably leave many problems.

Firstly, violent suppression could lead to internal backlash; secondly, it would inevitably consume some elite forces of the gangs in the process.

Then, with internal discord and lack of personnel, what could be used to govern the entire Western Desert?

Force is only a last resort.

Interests and benefits are the key to making these people willingly align with me...

Not long after, Li Su returned.

And it wasn’t just Li Su returning; he was followed by a group of people from the Storm Alliance.

The leader was a thin man wearing a tight outfit with a cross-shaped scar on his face, named Qiu Fengyin, who was the Branch Leader of the Storm Alliance in Zhao Yue City.

Qiu Fengyin followed Li Su up and was quite surprised to see Su Yuan.

Li Su himself was at the Full Moon Level, and he didn’t expect the "boss" he spoke of to be so young.

Qiu Fengyin carefully examined Su Yuan; aside from discerning that he was not a local, he couldn’t see much more.

When Su Yuan saw Qiu Fengyin so impatiently bringing people over, he roughly understood the other party’s urgent need for Detoxification Pills.

"Can you concoct Detoxification Pills?" Qiu Fengyin asked.

Su Yuan nodded, "The Detoxification Pills sent earlier were precisely what I concocted in these days."

Qiu Fengyin’s eyes lit up, "May I know how to address you?"

"Su Yuan."

Qiu Fengyin smiled, "Master Su, I’ll be direct; would Master Su be willing to join our Storm Alliance?

We currently have two alchemy masters, and the treatment is very generous. As long as Master Su is willing to join, you certainly won’t be disappointed!"

The Storm Alliance indeed has two alchemy masters, but as far as Su Yuan knows, one of them is already very old, not to mention how long he’ll live, but his alchemy efficiency can be said to be quite low, almost equivalent to half a person.

Now the Storm Alliance is effectively one and a half alchemy masters; combined with some alchemists and apprentices, in face of the situation of Poison Mushroom Island, the efficiency of concocting Detoxification Pills is naturally not enough.

As for why Qiu Fengyin phrased it this way, his true intention was obviously to lower the price... lowering the value of the alchemy master, lowering the price of the Detoxification Pill.

Su Yuan shook his head, "Our Qingming only wants to do business, to provide some Detoxification Pills to help your alliance solve the problem of members being poisoned. As for joining your alliance, we don’t have that idea at the moment."

"Qingming..." Qiu Fengyin murmured.

Previously, when Li Su came forward, he also mentioned selling Detoxification Pills on behalf of "Qingming." Now it seems this "Qingming" might just be this small group of people in front of him.

Qiu Fengyin’s gaze swept over Su Yuan, the nearby Ruan Ruan, and Xiong Chunyang...

Beside Xiong Chunyang, who was at the Waning Moon Stage, he couldn’t discern the cultivation of the others.

After a brief consideration, Qiu Fengyin said, "Our Storm Alliance welcomes heroes from all over. If Master Su and your group can entirely join us, as the Branch Leader of Zhao Yue, I can promise you the best treatment!"

Su Yuan internally chuckled, with your previous price-lowering tricks, what kind of best treatment could you possibly offer?

"I appreciate your regard, but we are used to being free. Let’s just talk business."

Qiu Ming, being a gang member, is not someone easy to deal with. Seeing Su Yuan refusing repeatedly without even discussing terms, he couldn’t help but frown, with faint anger in his eyes.

At this moment, a flash from Su Yuan’s ring revealed a box.

The nearby Ruan Ruan opened the box, which was filled with the kind of alchemy boxes Li Su had previously provided.

"100 Third-level Detoxification Pills. Is this enough to alleviate your alliance’s urgent needs?" Su Yuan said calmly.

Qiu Fengyin’s pupils contracted, and he promptly stepped forward to open several boxes. Each contained 5 Detoxification Pills!

This many Detoxification Pills!
