Chapter 1162: Eight Plains
As Ape 3 continued to examine the five pills, the surprise and elation in his eyes only grew more and more pronounced.
"You truly are an exceptional pill refinement master, Fellow Daoist Dragon 5. To think that it only took you half the allotted time to refine these five time dao pills. I am in awe," Ape 3 said as he cupped his fist in an admiring salute.
"You said that I had to have them ready within ten years, so I naturally had no time to waste. On top of that, luck was on my side as well. Take a look and see if you're satisfied with the pills," Han Li said with a faint smile as he placed the jade box into the item teleportation array before making a hand seal, and the box instantly vanished before reappearing in front of Ape 3, who immediately picked it up before conducting a close examination of the five dao pills one by one.
"There's nothing wrong with the pills, and all five of them are third tier dao pills, which is much better than the outcome I anticipated. I'll throw in a million extra Immortal Origin Stones on top of the Water Divination Time Crystal for your brilliant work," Ape 3 said with a pleased nod.
"There's no need for any additional compensation. We agreed for you to give me the Water Divination Time Crystal in exchange for five time dao pills, so it wouldn't be right for me to take anything more from you," Han Li replied in a principled manner, and Ape 3's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.
"It seems like you're a man after my own heart, Fellow Daoist Dragon 5. If you're not opposed to the idea, I would love to befriend you. I don't have your pill refinement expertise, but I do have some connections that are particularly useful in gathering all types of rare materials, so I'm not completely useless," Ape 3 chuckled.
"That sounds perfect to me," Han Li replied with a smile.
Even though not much interaction had taken place between the two of them, the fact that Ape 3 was able to bring out that Water Divination Time Crystal and ten batches of time dao pill ingredients indicated that he did indeed have some avenues of time law material acquisition.
He had refused the offer of a million additional Immortal Origin Stones precisely because he wanted to befriend Ape 3 to see if he could acquire more time law materials through him, so things had played out exactly as planned.
"Now that I've obtained these five dao pills, I need to go and arrange some things right away, so I won't chat with you any longer, Fellow Daoist Dragon 5. If you ever visit Nine Origins City, make sure to come find me!" Ape 3 said.
