Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

: You’re Going to Precipice Cave, Right?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing Diana’s words, Connor’s expression was particularly shocked.

He had never thought that there would be an alchemist in modern society!

In olden times, alchemists were still very common. After all, at that time, the field of medicine wasn’t very advanced yet. Therefore, if an ordinary person was sick or injured, they would choose to boil up some herbs or take pills to treat their ailments.

At that time, the main function of medicinal pills was still to treat illnesses and save lives. A small portion was also used to strengthen the body.

But Connor didn’t expect that a martial artist would also take medicinal pills!

Connor turned to look at Diana and asked softly, “Are there still many alchemists nowadays?”

“Not really, no…”

Diana shook her head and continued, “Actually, the profession of alchemist is about to disappear. After all, alchemy is a very complicated field to master. Moreover, ordinary people don’t need pills at all—only martial artists need pills. Alchemists who can refine pills that martial artists need are not common. Moreover, my grandfather stopped refining pills a long time ago…”

“I see…”

Connor looked at Diana and nodded, but didn’t say anything.

“Mr. McDonald, I think that Ruby Yandell’s purchase of so many precious herbs must have something to do with an alchemist. I suspect that Ruby Yandell must have met some powerful alchemist, which is why she bought so many precious herbs…”

Diana whispered to Connor.

“Alchemist?”

Connor’s eyes flashed with a trace of strangeness.

“Mr. McDonald, I also think that this possibility is very high. We martial artists still have a very high demand for medicinal pills. If any large family can have an alchemist and mass-produce medicinal pills, the value of any medicinal pill may be tens of millions. The cost of medicinal herbs is nothing in front of an alchemist…”

Carlos, who had always been quiet, said softly.

After Connor heard the conversation between the two, he instantly understood what was going on.

He then continued in a low voice, “You mean that Ruby Yandell somehow managed to get a powerful alchemist, which is why she’s buying so many herbs? You also think she wants to set up a production line so that alchemists can refine pills in large quantities and earn some benefits from it, right?”

“That’s right, Mr. McDonald, I think that’s what happened. Otherwise, Ruby Yandell wouldn’t have spent so much money on herbs!”

Diana nodded.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a way to earn money…”

Connor smiled faintly.

“The highest cost of refining a medicinal pill is only a few million, but the price of a medicinal pill is at least ten million. Therefore, the profit has directly increased by several times. If anyone can control this market, it is simply unimaginable…”

Carlos said to Connor.

“…”

After Connor heard this, a strange look flashed across his eyes.

If Connor could control this market, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

There was just the small issue of Connor not knowing any alchemists at all, nor did he have this ability to refine pills!

Therefore, even if Connor had the heart to do this, no matter how envious he was, he could only be a fish out of water.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Forget it. This matter has nothing to do with us. I’m here mainly to find the herbs that Jorge needs. Although I’m still missing a few herbs, I can ask Thomas Morgan to help me find those. The most important thing is the herb in the Precipice Cave…”

Connor said in a low voice.

When Diana heard Connor’s words, she was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, “Mr. McDonald, I asked the people here about the Precipice Cave, but they all said that it’s extremely dangerous…”

“If it wasn’t dangerous, Jorge wouldn’t have asked me to come!” Connor replied indifferently.

Diana looked at Connor and said softly, “Mr. McDonald, since you insist on going there, I won’t persuade you otherwise. However, I do know a person. He’s the only person in the valley who has been to the Precipice Cave and returned alive. He should know the exact location of the Precipice Cave, so if Mr. McDonald wants to go there, we can let that person lead the way. After all, if we have someone who knows the way, it will be much more convenient for us…”

“Alright, then get that person to lead the way…”

Connor nodded lightly.

“But…”

Diana looked up at Connor, her expression a little awkward.

“But what?”

Connor frowned and asked.

“However, this person’s personality is rather strange. If we want this person to lead the way, we might have to have a good chat with him…” Diana said slowly.

“Isn’t this kind of thing simple? If he doesn’t agree to lead the way for us, I’ll just beat him up…”

Carlos said expressionlessly.

“We can’t use force in this kind of thing. After all, he’s the only one in the entirety of Medicine Kings’ Valley who knows the location of the Precipice Cave. If we offend this person, then things will be troublesome. It’s better to have a good chat with him. If the other party has any requests, try your best to satisfy him…”

Connor whispered to Carlos.

Connor knew that Carlos had good intentions, but Carlos was too simple-minded and always liked to solve problems by force. In modern society, not every problem could be solved by force.

“Then, Mr. McDonald, shall I bring you to meet that person?” Diana asked Connor softly.

“Alright…”

Connor nodded his head lightly and then walked out of the manor.

After leaving the manor, Diana took Connor around Medicine Kings’ Valley and finally stopped in front of an ancient building. At this moment, the door of the building was open. Connor could clearly see a middle-aged man sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard.

The middle-aged man looked a little ugly. He was wearing a black training suit, giving people the feeling that he was an otherworldly expert.

“Uncle Zhou…”

Diana walked into the courtyard and called out to the middle-aged man with a smile.

When the middle-aged man saw Diana enter, he couldn’t help but frown. He then laughed and said, “So it’s Miss Murphy. Come in quickly…”

Diana quickly turned her head to look at Connor, then brought him and Carlos towards the middle-aged man.

After arriving in front of the middle-aged man, Diana wanted to introduce Connor’s identity.

But before Diana could speak, the middle-aged man took the initiative to ask Connor, “You guys are going to Precipice Cave, right?”

After Connor heard the man’s words, he was instantly stunned on the spot. The expression on his face was very shocked. He couldn’t understand how the middle-aged man already knew why he was here!
