"This guy is really ruthless!"
The video call ended, and Elder Tang couldn’t help but comment.
Do you know what it means to request materials for refining ten thousand True Qi Pills?
Even the headquarters only supplies two to three hundred portions a day. So, with this request, Chen Fan directly wants two months’ worth of stock from the headquarters.
"Yeah."
Chang Fei said with a wry smile, "Not just that, he also took three Demon-Breaking Arrows."
"Young Lad Chang, are these Demon-Breaking Arrows really that rare?" Elder Tang couldn’t help but ask.
As a non-combatant, his Martial Arts Realm had only reached the Entry Force stage, and that too by forcibly taking a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill, so it made sense he wouldn’t know these things.
"Yeah,"
Chang Fei explained, "Two years ago, when our branch office had a good relationship with the Awakened Association, the chairman acquired a large piece of alloy with demon-breaking attributes from them.
After two years of usage, there’s hardly any left. Making three Demon-Breaking Arrows is probably the limit. You know, our relationship with the Awakened Association isn’t as good as it used to be,
so getting that kind of alloy from them again to make more Demon-Breaking Weapons is probably unrealistic."
The two elders nodded helplessly at his words.
Indeed, in the early years of the Beast Disaster, the Yan Country was united.
But as the situation gradually stabilized over the years, the relationship between the Martial Arts Association and the Awakened Association became more complicated.
The Jiangbei Sub-district Martial Arts Association, which is willing to follow the Awakened Association’s lead, naturally received great support.
But if we, the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, were unwilling, the help we received would be minimal.
Seeing their expressions turn serious, Chang Fei smiled and said, "Although we have paid a lot for this, we’re the ones who’ll benefit."
"Indeed."
Elder Tang snorted.
After all, they had already acquired the pill formula.
After clearing the payment, any number of Top-grade True Qi Pills they produce won’t concern Chen Fan.
But he still found it a bit strange. That kid is clearly a money-grubber; how could he make such a choice this time?
It doesn’t make sense. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t bother trying further.
"Exactly."
Elder Luo nodded repeatedly and said, "Once that young brother sends over the pill formula, our association’s production of Top-grade True Qi Pills will increase several-fold.
By then, you and others in the branch will have enough True Qi Pills to use. The Meridian Refining Martial Artists will also benefit, and in no time, the number of True Essence Realm Martial Artists in the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association will significantly increase!"
He grew more excited as he spoke, his body trembling.
Chang Fei was also thrilled.
There are five Martial Arts Associations in the Yan Country, and the Jiangnan Sub-district is one of them.
Unfortunately, in terms of both Meridian Refining Martial Artists and True Essence Realm Martial Artists, the Jiangnan Sub-district was the worst.
The only thing impressive was the chairman’s strength. He might not be the best among the five chairmen, but he was at least in the top two.
Few people knew that the chairman’s Five-Thunder Transformation Hand was nearly at the Perfection Realm, and melting Tier Four Alloy Weapons was as easy as playing. The scale armor of Commander-level Fierce Beasts was no match for him.
With enough Top-grade True Qi Pills, he might even break through to the Celestial Human Realm and be able to fight Beast King-level Fierce Beasts!
Thinking of this, he grew more excited.
"Elder Tang, Elder Luo, you continue chatting here. I need to report this to the chairman."
The materials for ten thousand pills were one thing, but the three Demon-Breaking Arrows needed the chairman’s approval.
"Alright, go ahead."
Elder Tang nodded.
Seeing Chang Fei made him so pleased that he even looked forward to the next challenge.
As Chang Fei left, Elder Luo sighed and said:
"Truly, the Yangtze waves push forward the waves before them; each generation surpasses the previous one. Elder Tang, honestly, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe such a young guy could have such amazing alchemy talent.
We’ve been researching it for so many years, increasing the success rate of Top-grade True Qi Pills from ten to twenty percent at most. Yet, he improved it to ninety percent in a few days?"
"Yes."
Elder Tang took a deep breath and said, "A ninety percent pill success rate, with Top-grade True Qi Pills having the same probability. The kid’s talent is undeniable. He’s just fixated on money."
"Hahaha, so what?"
Elder Luo laughed, "He put in a lot of effort to improve the formula. He shouldn’t give it to us for free, should he? If that were the case, who would innovate?
I think it’s fine. Clear prices make everyone happy. In fact, I hope there are more like Brother Chen."
Elder Tang was stunned, then nodded firmly.
"Elder Luo, when that kid sends the pill formula, let’s not tell anyone first."
He suddenly said softly.
"Huh? Not tell anyone?"
Elder Luo was confused but understood his meaning quickly.
"You don’t plan to show off to Old Cai like you did earlier after we’ve studied it, do you?"
"Hehe, you know me well." Elder Tang gave a thumbs up.
"No way!"
Elder Luo flatly refused.
"You’re an old man, acting like a child. Besides, this is a True Qi Pill; it’s different from a Qi Blood Pill. Once we get it, we should call everyone to study it. How can you keep it to yourself?"
"Elder Tang, I can agree to anything else, but not this."
"Fine."
Elder Tang looked helpless.
Elder Luo was right, so they should do it his way.
But he planned to urge Chen Fan not to delay the pill formula like last time until the evening.
Meanwhile, in a Cultivation Room five floors underground, a broad-shouldered, tower-like middle-aged man was sparring with a silver-haired youth.
The middle-aged man continuously waved his hands, sending golden palm seals over a meter high, accompanied by faint dragon roars.
A hundred meters away, the silver-haired youth had lightning flashing in his palms, and his aura was impressive.
Seeing the golden palm seals coming, he didn’t dodge but charged at them directly.
Just when it looked like he would be hit, he swung his arms and clashed with the palm seals. To his surprise, the golden seals dissipated immediately upon contact.
Thus, one kept retreating and sending out palm seals, while the other kept chasing and clashing head-on.
The silver-haired youth’s smile grew, seeming to enjoy the process.
However, the smile soon froze as the lightning in his palms diminished greatly.
"Is your True Essence depleted?"
The middle-aged man stopped, folded his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly, "The Five-Thunder Transformation Hand uses a lot of True Essence. It’s impressive you lasted this long. Sit down and regulate your breath."
"Master."
The silver-haired youth looked reluctant.
"Rest."
The middle-aged man shook his head, "The Five-Thunder Transformation Hand is a supreme martial art, consuming far more than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Besides, you’ve made slight progress in it. Entering the hall is just a matter of time. Don’t rush; haste makes waste."
"Yes."
The youth reluctantly sat down and began practicing the Supreme Profound Skill to recover his True Essence.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.
Xiaoyu’s talent was top-notch among peers, perhaps even higher than his own. Given time, he would undoubtedly become a strong human race.
Perhaps even comparable to an S-Class Awakened!
The thought ignited a fighting spirit in his eyes.
The magic of martial arts is unfathomable. Its potential is in no way inferior to superpowers.
"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz..."
At that moment, his phone in his pocket buzzed.
Frowning, he realized few people had his number, and those who did wouldn’t call unless necessary.
Just as he finished sparring, he had time to check. It was Chang Fei calling.
"Hello? Chang Fei, what’s the matter?"
"Chairman, it’s good news."
Chang Fei laughed, "I have some fantastic news for you."
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man was none other than the chairman of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, Shi Tao.
He smiled, "News important enough for you to inform me directly must be extraordinary."
"Haha."
Chang Fei laughed, then briefly described what had transpired.
Shi Tao’s breathing became labored.
Even Ling Yu, who was meditating, sensed something and opened his eyes.
"So, Chairman, isn’t it great news?"
Shi Tao inhaled deeply and suppressed his joy, "If it’s really as you said, Chang Fei, then it’s fantastic news."
"Chairman, of course, it’s true. I even have a video. If you want, I’ll send it to you. Oh?"
"What’s up?" Shi Tao quickly asked.
"Chairman, you won’t believe it, but Chen just sent the pill formula. I’ll give it to Elder Tang and the others to study. Before long, our association’s Top-grade True Qi Pills will multiply.
"Is that so? Great. I look forward to Elder Tang’s good news," Shi Tao smiled.
He had full confidence in what Chang Fei said.
Especially with Elder Tang and Elder Luo present.
"Don’t worry, Chairman. Our alchemists are all masters. Soon enough, they’ll figure out the key. Chairman, there’s something else."
Chang Fei smiled sheepishly.
