“The clan elders are willing to work with you and teach you all our knowledge of formations. I can promise that we will not hold anything back,” said Instructor Hu once we were seated.
“That’s very generous of you,” I said, surprised. “Even for quality Rank 3 pills, this seems beyond what I would normally expect.”

“What are the conditions?”
“First, you are not allowed to pass on any knowledge you gain from us.”
I nodded in agreement. “That sounds fair.”
“Second, you are not allowed to profit from creating formations for others within the kingdom.”
