Chu Yuntian's face was full of bitterness, but he knew that Master Chen was a man of his word. No matter how much he begged, he would not change his mind.
Lin Yi was surprised-he didn't think that this Chen guy would be this overbearing with his conditions. He'd pay for the ingredients and the cost, and if he couldn't even get a single pill, he'd have to give it to this old man. Wasn't this all just making a wedding dress for this old man?
Although it wasn't wrong for an Alchemist to receive payment for their services-Sky Class Island had the same rules as well-the island would at least guarantee that if a single pill was completed, the client would be the first to receive it. After all, it was the client who collected the materials, and they'd also spent quite a bit of money on it-if The Alchemist could only complete one pill, they wouldn't have any reason to collect more.
At this time, Chu Yuntian's heart was also in a dilemma. In the entire ancient Jianghu, old man Chen was not the only Alchemist who could refine Yuanying stage golden pills. But Chu Yuntian could only invite this one. So, besides him, he really could not find anyone else to refine Yuanying stage golden pills.
However, old man Chen's conditions were too harsh. One must know that old man Chen's success rate had never exceeded 30%. With such a low success rate, it was simply impossible to guarantee two pills.
With a success rate of 30%, he would have to take a huge risk to form a pill. Now, he had finally managed to form a pill, and he had to give it to old man Chen. No matter how Chu Yuntian thought about it, he felt that he would end up losing all his money.
"Chu Yuntian, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and give this Lord a straightforward answer!" Old man Chen's face was filled with impatience. He didn't put Chu Yuntian, a nascent soul old monster, in his eyes at all.
However, it was not surprising. The Chu clan was originally a small clan. Chu Yuntian was the weakest nascent soul realm cultivator in the early stage of the nascent soul realm. Old man Chen was an Alchemist of the five elements sect in the ancient Jianghu. The status of the two could be said to be heaven and earth apart. In front of old man Chen, Chu Yuntian really did not have much confidence.
Because of this, after being urged, Chu Yuntian could only continue to smile and say,""Master Chen, this condition is a little harsh. Can you give me some time to consider?"
"Consider?" old man Chen was furious. What was there to consider? Could there be a more powerful Alchemist than me?"
Chu Yuntian shook his head."No, no. There are only a few people in the ancient martial world who are as powerful as you, Master Chen, let alone those who are more powerful than you!"
Hearing this, old man Chen's expression became slightly better. He snorted coldly and said,""If that's the case, what else do you have to consider? Other than me, who else can turn these materials into pills?"
Chu Yuntian thought to himself,"even if no one can refine it, these things still belong to our Chu clan. If we sell them, we can get back a lot of spiritual Jade. But if we let you refine pills, with your level, it'll be difficult for you to even form one pill. If you manage to form one pill, then we'll have to give it to you. Our Chu clan's things will be completely wasted!" No, even if you throw it away, at least you can hear a sound. I asked you to refine pills, but you can't even hear a sound!
However, Chu Yuntian could only say these words in his heart. He didn't dare to say a word out loud. Old man Chen's status was there, and he really couldn't afford to offend him.
Chu Yuntian didn't dare to speak, but Chu Tianlu was an honest man. He immediately walked over and cupped his fists,""Master Chen, with all due respect, everyone in the martial world knows about your success rate. It is thirty percent at most. If we follow your terms, the Chu family will lose everything. In the end, we will get nothing. So, do you think we can trade for one pill with something else?"
Old man Chen's face was as dark as water. He sneered,""Where did you come from, junior? do you have the right to speak here? Can't you see that I'm talking to your family's elders? why are you interrupting?"
Chu Tianlu said proudly,"I'm the young master of the Chu family. I'm in charge of the Chu family's affairs now. The same goes for the elixir refinement. Master Chen, do you think I have the right to speak?"
Under normal circumstances, Chu Tianlu should at least address himself as a junior, but he was Lin Yi's follower now. If he called himself a junior in front of old Chen, it would be the same as making Lin Yi his peer or even junior. This was unacceptable to Chu Tianlu, who regarded Lin Yi as a God.
"I don't care if you're the young master or the old master," old man Chen said angrily. "To put it bluntly, who do you think your Chu family is?" How dare you speak to me like this?"
"Master Chen, please calm down! Let's talk this out!" Chu Yuntian quickly smiled apologetically. If it was before, he would definitely give Chu Tianlu a good scolding, but he didn't dare to do that now. Didn't he see Lin Yi standing right beside Chu Tianlu? at most, he wouldn't be able to refine pills if he offended old Chen, but if he offended Lin Yi, he would definitely die!
"Easy? How could he say it? Is this the attitude your Chu clan has when you ask me to refine pills? Do you really think that our five elements sect can be bullied by any Tom, Dick or Harry?" Old man Chen didn't even plan to negotiate. In his opinion, he was already giving face to a grassroots clan like the Chu clan by lowering his status to refine pills for them. Not only did they not know how to be grateful, but they even bargained?
"I don't dare! Master Chen, you're being too serious!" Chu Yuntian's forehead was about to break out in cold sweat. If he had known about this earlier, he would not have refined the pill!
"I'll leave my words here today. You have to refine the pill whether you want to or not. Otherwise, if word gets out, where will I put my face?" Old man Chen's narrowed eyes flickered with a cold light, causing Chu Yuntian's body to shiver. However, his next words caused Chu Yuntian's entire body to turn cold,"If you don't agree, the Chu clan will be blacklisted by our five elements sect!"
Chu Yuntian and Chu Tianlu were both dumbfounded by his words. What did it mean to be on the five elements sect's blacklist? Lin Yi might not know, but they knew that in the ancient martial world, there weren't many who could get away with it after offending the five elements sect. Even if there were, it wouldn't be someone like house Chu, who wasn't even part of the ten small sects.
"Ha ... I didn't expect to hear such a joke this morning. It's really funny!" Lin Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile as he spoke faintly,""This is the first time I've seen someone force people to buy or sell pills. It's an eye-opener! Tell me, I won't ask you to refine pills today, what can you do?"
