"Old flower, why don't you go to Tordin and beg him for some spots? Isn't he your best friend?" Magnus was being sarcastic.

"Best friend, my fart! Even if that bastard offered me the spots for free, I would never accept it!" Vitali exploded.

The Sect Master of Pill Ascension Sect and the Palace Master of Pill Palace looked at each other while sighing. They were far too familiar with the hostility of the Three Famous Alchemy Families among themselves.

Leyvi noticed that many other parties intended to negotiate as well, but seeing four of the seven South Region Alchemy Giants here, they dropped their intention and left. Although they were quite influential, they were quite far from their level.

"I am Vee Ramlee, the Sect Master of the Pill Ascension Sect. I'm sure you know our purpose of coming here." A bald middle-aged man wearing a red vest over a black long-sleeved shirt approached Leyvi with a smile.

Leyvi, who had been around a few Nascent Soul experts and didn't feel intimidated anymore by their aura, replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes. I know. However, we have to wait for my wife. She will come here soon."

"Do we have to wait for her? Aren't you the husband? Let's do this fast so I can go back sooner. I'll give you 50000 middle-grade spirit stones for two spots." The Palace Master of Pill Palace offered. He had observed Leyvi's actions previously and didn't think much of him. Just another clown.

Leyvi turned to him, still smiling. The handsome middle-aged man had an unfriendly face, wearing a well-designed custom outfit reflecting his status. "And you are?"

"I'm Dirk Dracolia, Palace Master of Pill Palace. How about it, kid? 50000 middle-grade spirit stones are a lot of money. Your small family will be rich instantly." Obviously not putting Leyvi in his eyes.

As the Palace Master, how long has it been since he had to deal with small fries? It was truly beneath his status that he had to negotiate with nobodies for some spots that his Pill Palace's useless disciples failed to get.

Leyvi chuckled inwardly. His Leyan Family had unlimited natural liquid Qi, and although 50000 middle grade spirit stones are a lot, he wouldn't be fazed by it anymore. Knowing Anda, she would want something else from them.

"Palace Master Dirk, thanks for the offer, but like I said, you should negotiate this with my wife. The spots for the Mystic Realm were obtained by her, after all." Leyvi appeared polite but he wouldn't feel any pity if this Palace Master Dirk's name was written on Anda's blacklist note.

"Ah, there she is! Everyone, my wife is here. Let's get to business." Leyvi said after seeing Anda coming.

After Anda arrived, Leyvi and Layla immediately stood beside her. As the husband, Leyvi naturally had to stay with her as a support.

After all, she would be dealing with a few Nascent Soul experts. Even if they had restrained their aura, their presence was still intimidating to cultivators of lower realms.

As for Layla, although she was visibly shaken, she steeled her nerves because she took her role as the manager of the Leyan Family seriously.

Leyvi introduced them to Anda, excluding Magnus because she knew him already. He also secretly told her that the Goldstones and the Leyans had become in-laws and that he liked Magnus.

Hearing Leyvi, Anda understood how to treat the negotiation with the Goldstone later. Since they were the first allies of the Leyan Family, she would give them a discount. Her husband wasn't only a generous person, she could be generous too.

"Hello, esteemed leaders of the Seven Alchemy Giants. Since I won the alchemy competition, you probably know my name, but you might not know my husband's name yet. My husband is Leyvi Leyan. Please remember it." Anda introduced Leyvi to them with a smile that didn't reach the eyes.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Huh? Since she is the one who will be negotiating, why introduce him? He's not relevant in this situation at all.

A few people accompanying their leader posed the question in their minds.

However, Magnus and Vitali knew that Anda was reminding them not to disrespect her husband. Vee Ramlee realized the implication as well, so he glanced at Dirk Dracolia.

He knew Dirk quite well as he tends to look down on people without notable achievement. He would have no problem showing respect to Anda because she was the Alchemy Competition Champion, but probably not to her husband.

As he expected, Dirk glanced at Leyvi disdainfully and then closed his eyes, waiting for Anda to continue. He wasn't even aware that Anda was showing dissatisfaction with his attitude.

Magnus shook his head. He knew someone would probably have to pay more than the others today.

"I have 15 spots in my hand. I intended to bring 5 people from my family to the Mystic Realm, leaving 10 spots for business. Since there are 4 of you here, I will allocate 2 spots for each party for negotiation. As for the remaining 2 spots, I might auction them later. I believe this should be fair, right, my esteemed leaders?" Anda conveyed her intention perfectly. Like Leyvi, she wasn't intimidated by them a single bit.

The Leyans at the back, watching their Big Madam exuding so much confidence while talking to the Alchemy Giant Leaders, admired her to the highest level. People could see sparkles in their eyes. Even Layla stopped being shaken up by their presence.

Big Madam is sooo coooool!! They wanted to be as cool as her, too.

"Hahaha, Alchemist Anda, I have no problem with that arrangement." Vee Ramlee agreed with her. Anda saw the others nod as well.

Anda smiled. "Since everyone agrees, I will start negotiating with each party. I'll start with the Goldstone Family first."

The individuals involved in the negotiation started using sound transmission to discuss the suitable exchange.

"Father-in-law, you are more familiar with this situation. What do you think is the reasonable exchange for the two slots?" Leyvi asked.

This was also the reason why she picked the Goldstone Family to negotiate first. To determine the benchmark price for the two slots. Although she could sense if they were trying to scam her with her ability, it would be hard to estimate the acceptable range.

Magnus had a thoughtful expression as he replied. "Although I wasn't around yet the last time a Mystic Realm appeared, from the family record, a spot would be at least 100000 middle-grade spirit stones."

"What the heck? So that Dirk guy was trying to scam me after all? 50000 middle-grade spirit stones for two spots?" Leyvi got annoyed.

"Leyvi, don't worry. We will treat him fairly." Anda smiled.

Magnus saw Anda's seemingly normal smile, but he felt chills from it. He wondered what kind of wife his son-in-law married. Why does she give the same vibes as that woman? He subconsciously glanced at the cat-shaped chair that was empty now.

"So, how many Tier-4 Alchemy Formulas can we trade for one spot?" Anda asked.

Because the continent didn't sell tier-4 and above formulas to the public, she had no references to use for her estimates.

"Only one," Magnus said.

"What? Tier-4 Alchemy Formula is that expensive?" Leyvi, Anda, and Layla felt shocked.

Layla worked with the Treasure Pavilion previously, so she was familiar with the prices of tier-3 Alchemy Formulas. The most expensive was only 10000 low-grade spirit stones. It was precisely the formula for the Core Replication Pill that Anda had made her buy before they departed from Bara City.

From 10000 low-grade spirit stones to 100000 middle grade spirit stones? Tier-3 to tier-4 had a 1000 times difference?

Seeing their shocked face Magnus laughed. "Hahaha, this is already considered cheap. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't be able to get any alchemy formula from them. You must remember that those alchemy formulas are their legacy, after all. They wouldn't want anyone else to have it besides themselves, if possible."

"The only reason they were willing to give up the alchemy formula they monopolized was because of the possibility of obtaining something better in the Mystic Realm. Do you remember how much the legendary art 'Heavenly Touch Alchemy Method' was sold?" Magnus specifically asked Leyvi.

"2 million middle-grade spirit stones for a slightly translated version," Leyvi answered.

"That's right. If they had a chance to obtain something like that, giving up one alchemy formula for a slot was still bearable, even though they might not get anything better in there." Magnus continued.

Anda nodded. She understood very well. She also wouldn't want to sell any of the Alchemy Formulas Leyvi translated for her at any cost.

"Uncle Magnus, since we are family, I'll only charge you one Tier-4 Alchemy Formula for the two spots." Anda decided to give him a 50% discount.

"Hahaha! Good good, Niece Anda, since you are so generous, as the elder, I couldn't take advantage of you. How about this? I'll give you an airship for you to use. Although it's not hard to obtain one, it is quite expensive."

"Furthermore, with the Goldstone Family symbol on it, nobody in the South Region would dare to attack you. Any bandit will run far away when they see one."

Magnus was glad he made the right decision, allowing his daughter to be with Leyvi. Now, nobody in the family will complain anymore.
