"You're here so early? I thought you'd let rest a bit more."
Tang Rao's nasal tone and heavy dark circles complained to the man in black about the fact that he hadn't slept well.
"Where are my elixir pills?"
Just being near Tang Rao, one could sll the rich fragrance of dicine. It seed that the chances of the elixir pills failing were not high.
"I spent three whole days to create the elixir pills. Aren't you even going to thank a little?"
Tang Rao made the elixir pills for him for free, and even personally delivered them right to him. Was he really not moved at all?
"We're just trading."
As expected of a businessman, always putting the word "trade" on his lips, afraid others might not know.
Just because it's a trade, does that an one shouldn't respect soone's hard work?
"Big brother, don't be so cruel to , okay? We're not doing a one-ti transaction. Do you really want to upset and make stop doing business with you?"
Tang Rao first assured, he truly wasn't threatening the man in black, just felt that everyone is equal. You helped , saved the ancestor's life, I paid you with rewards and elixir pills. As you said, we're only trading, why do you treat harshly, why should I be grateful when I give you elixir pills?
Things that defy common sense, Tang Rao didn't want to continue.
"Thank you."
When the man in black said thank you, he truly felt that saying those words was quite awkward.
"That's more like it, knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them is still sensible."
Tang Rao clearly begged the man in black to say thank you, yet once he did, Tang Rao imdiately adopted a different tone.
"Here are the elixir pills you wanted, I wasted one batch, but another produced a single pill."
Tang Rao took out a bottle and retrieved one elixir pill from it.
To achieve one pill with two sets of materials was already quite an accomplishnt for the man in black.
In his understanding, the more advanced the elixir pills, the harder they are to produce, and to get five pills from one batch was simply dreaming.
Tang Rao took advantage of this loophole to actually gain quite a bit.
"You can actually create seventh-grade elixir pills; are they truly made by you?"
The man in black carefully examined the elixir pill, the pill was full, clearly not ordinary, and the fragrance confird it had the desired effect. He just couldn't believe Tang Rao was so young yet could make seventh-grade elixir pills. For the future, eighth, ninth grade, peak tenth grade, it wasn't impossible.
"Of course, it's . No one else in Kao Shan Sect can make elixir pills."
Tang Rao yawned, clearly dissatisfied with the man in black's doubts.
"That makes sense."
With the Nine Revival Pill, those he cared about were saved, and the man in black silently celebrated his victory.
"Do you want to join Shen Yin? We could cooperate more in the future."
The man in black recognized Tang Rao's talent in alchemy and wanted to invite Tang Rao to join Shen Yin. This way, he could comfortably rely on Tang Rao for future needs.
"You want , doing legitimate business, to join Shen Yin? Am I crazy or do I think my life's too long?"
Tang Rao shot the man in black a glance, he could consider other trades, but joining Shen Yin was out of the question.
A well-known organization in the Divine Realm, joining would lower others' standards, and he would rather not ruin it.
"Is Shen Yin really as bad as you say?"
To actually refuse joining Shen Yin and say things like that?
The man in black clearly hadn't processed it.
"Not particularly. I'm just worried that soone inside might play to death. You want to keep making elixir pills for you. Surely you're thinking soone as talented as could soday make eighth, ninth, even tenth-grade elixir pills, right? That's an issue worth considering. In my view, your imagination might beco reality. Unfortunately, this ti you saved and Family Head Liu agreed to give you elixir pills, that's why I agreed, but getting to help later might not be so easy."
First ntioning the breakup, Tang Rao couldn't let the man in black see alchemy as an easy task. The greatest and yet most obscure profession under the starry sky should be taken seriously by all, rather than regarded as cheap labor by the strong, deliberately ignored.
"You're very smart, but as a weakling, your intelligence doesn't have such great utility. Shen Yin not only completes tasks externally but appears as an assassin organization from the outside. Yet, for you, it's your shelter. By joining, you can avoid taking tasks, but you will beco Shen Yin's protected subject. Shen Yin has a principle: no killing its own people. Whether you want to be an outsider or one of their own, it's your decision."
Want to be an outsider or one of their own?
It was indeed asking Tang Rao if he would join Shen Yin or oppose it, the man in black had truly completed his abacus.
Whether to join or not was indeed a tough question for Tang Rao.
"In broad daylight, under the open sky, why do I feel like I've done sothing good and now the bad guys have set their eyes on ? Big brother, are you sure you have no ill intentions towards , and truly don't want to harm ?"
Tang Rao didn't sense malice from the man in black, so naturally, he did not suspect him of saying or doing anything harmful, he was only contemplating turning from a servant to a singing worker. He considered his super invincible alchemist status to be too valuable to be underestimated.
"Tang Rao, this rare opportunity, you can choose to refuse."
But after refusing, Shen Yin's treatnt of you, well, I won't be responsible.
Is that what you an?
Tang Rao felt a pang and thought, fine, fine, just treat it as getting himself a protection token.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay. Seems like I have no choice but to join. Soone as handso and charming as , it's normal for you to be impressed. Since you've said it, I begrudgingly agree, but I must tell you, if you dare threaten after I join Shen Yin, I'll quit anyti."
The man in black had no objections to this and endorsed it promptly.
"Also, I'm not soone who can suffer grievances. If anyone in Shen Yin wants to make elixir pills without conditions, I won't agree, but you need to ensure they won't threaten ."
The man in black could assure Tang Rao on this.
Tang Rao was initially sought by the man in black to specially make elixir pills for him. If others wanted him to make elixir pills, neither Tang Rao nor the man in black would agree.
"Inside Shen Yin, better not ntion your identity as an alchemist, rember?"
The man in black had a stern face without a hint of humor.
His furrowed eyebrows were like those of an old man.
