1494 The Conditions Offered by the Alchemist Association
“You are indeed quick-witted, Sword Young Master. That’s right, the Mysteries Pavilion wants to fish in troubled waters,” said Wang Dong, “Back then, when we joined forces to invite the Mysteries Pavilion master to predict the day the Violet Thunder Swords treasury would appear, we already knew that this day would come.
“Since ancient times, the few major factions have been separated and united, but that’s all. If they want to fish in troubled waters, it depends on whether they have the means to back it up!”
Chu Yunfan nodded. Whether one wanted to monopolize the treasury, fish in troubled waters, or obtain some benefits, in the end, it all depended on whether one had the means. It was just like how Wang Dong had to treat him as a distinguished guest because he had displayed the strength of the Core Former and could rival an entire country.
Strength was power.
“I understand the general situation. What would you like me to do, President Wang?” Chu Yunfan said.
“I would like you to lend me a hand, Sword Young Master,” said Wang Dong.
“Why should I help you? I alone can rival an enemy country. No one can do anything to me,” Chu Yunfan immediately said.
Although it was a good choice to join forces, he was not afraid at all with his current strength. Even if he encountered the khan, he could escape easily. Therefore, it was Wang Dong who had something to ask of him, not him.
“That’s true.” Wang Dong smiled bitterly. “How about in exchange I help you make a pill with all my strength in the future. How about it?”
The price Wang Dong offered was pretty high. With his current cultivation and achievements in alchemy, it would be difficult for even a Core Former to obtain the pills he made. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that in front of him sat an alchemy master who was a hundred times more powerful than him. This condition that was enough to move people’s hearts was completely ignored by Chu Yunfan.
“Change the condition. I won’t beg you to make a pill for me,” Chu Yunfan said with certainty.
If Chu Yunfan couldn’t make a certain pill with his current strength, then Wang Dong definitely couldn’t either. This was something that was obvious without even thinking.
Wang Dong was stunned. He didn’t expect Chu Yunfan to reject this condition. He was most afraid of meeting people like Chu Yunfan who seemed to have no desires. The conditions that ordinary people could only dream of were not attractive to Chu Yunfan in the slightest.
“I can help you fend off Nine Stars,” Wang Dong said, “Once the news of your arrival gets out, I’m afraid Nine Stars will hear of it immediately. It’s just a matter of time. How will you face Nine Star’s sect master then?”
“That’s unnecessary.” Chu Yunfan’s mouth twitched. “So what if it Nine Star’s sect master? I can suppress him with a flip of my hand.”
If it was before, Chu Yunfan wouldn’t dare to say such a thing, but now he was completely confident. Unless Nine Star’s sect master had reached the late Core Form Stage, he wouldn’t be afraid at all.
Wang Dong looked at Chu Yunfan in shock. He was a little stunned, but Chu Yunfan didn’t look like he was joking. He knew that Chu Yunfan was confident, but when he thought of this, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
They had analyzed Chu Yunfan’s previous fight with the former sect master of Nine Stars. Chu Yunfan should only have the combat strength of the fledgling Core Form Stage. And it had only been a short time since then, and Chu Yunfan was no longer afraid of Nine Star’s sect master? Was he hiding his strength, or did he have another breakthrough?
Wang Dong’s eyes flashed with horror. He couldn’t figure out Chu Yunfan’s background. After all, this person had appeared too mysteriously. He couldn’t find any trace of Chu Yunfan. He appeared as a top-notch expert and then disappeared mysteriously.
Even with the strength of the Mysteries Pavilion, they could not find any trace of Chu Yunfan. This was the most shocking thing.
Wang Dong gritted his teeth and said, “I guess there’s no other choise. After everything is done, we can provide you with a Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill.”
“The Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill?” Chu Yunfan said in astonishment. “How do you have such a thing?”
Ordinary people might not know about the Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill, but how could Chu Yunfan not? It was a peerless medicinal pill made from nine top-notch heavenly and earthly treasures. It was impossible for an alchemy expert to make it. Even an alchemy king, who was stronger than an alchemy expert, would find it difficult to make.
The most important factor was that these nine treasures were extremely difficult to obtain, but Wang Dong somehow had a Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill. This surprised Chu Yunfan.
The Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill was a kind of pill that could rapidly increase one’s strength. It was used by experts who had transcended the Core Form Stage. If Chu Yunfan had one of the Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pills now, he could immediately break through to the Core Form Stage. His combat strength would break through the Core Form Stage and increase his strength by several levels.
Wang Dong was a little puzzled that Chu Yunfan’s first reaction wasn’t to ask him what the Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill was and clearly knew what kind of pill it was.
In the Alchemist Association, there weren’t many who knew about this pill. It was asn ancient folk prescription that was quite difficult to follow. Although there was a pill recipe, it had always been shelved.
“Since you know about the Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill, then I’ll be straightforward. I won’t beat around the bush in front of an honest person. It isn’t the real Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill because the nine medicinal ingredients required for this pill are too difficult to find. This is something we came up with after many years of improving the recipe. Its medicinal effects are similar to the Nine Heavens Great Rejuvenating Pill, so we named it the Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill,” said Wang Dong.
Chu Yunfan pondered. He wasn’t tempted by ordinary things. After all, with his cultivation, he could have as many ordinary treasures and pills as he wanted. However, this Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill was different. Although its medicinal effect was a little weaker, it was enough for Chu Yunfan.
“Okay, but I want to know what your goal is. Don’t tell me you want my help to monopolize the treasury,” Chu Yunfan said.
Taking out the Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill naturally meant that Wang Dong had a big goal in mind.
“Nothing like this,” Wang Dong quickly said, “As far as we know, there’s a herb garden in the Violet Thunder Sword treasury, and there’s a Herb King in this herb garden. That is what we want.”
Chu Yunfan took a deep breath. Wang Dong really had a good appetite. What was a Herb King? It was the king of all herbs. Most herbs would be picked very early on. Only a few could grow to a certain age and become a Herb King, and even then it was a low probability.
The medicinal effects of this Herb King were often a hundred times stronger than ordinary herbs. It could be said to be of the highest quality. Once the news spread, it would attract countless people to fight for it. No wonder Wang Dong wanted to find someone to help.
