Chapter 391: Zhou Tian’s Gratitude
Although the Alchemist Association was a hierarchically structured organization, it remained rather loose. The association itself had few demands on its members, let alone requiring them to contribute precious pill formulas.
Xu Dong’s shamelessness made even Lu Ru, who was on good terms with him, blush. Lu Ru admitted that if he were the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, he definitely could not demand Jing Yan to contribute his pill recipes—it was too much to ask.
"Xu Dong, let me ask you," Jing Yan said with a cold smile as he stared at Xu Dong, "if you had the formulas for these two elixirs, would you contribute them to the Alchemist Association?"
"It’s about you now! I don’t have the formulas for these two elixirs," Xu Dong retorted with wide eyes and suddenly noticed the other onlookers staring at him. Seeing disdain in their eyes, he hurriedly added, "If I had the formulas for these two elixirs, I would definitely give them to the Alchemist Association!"
It was clear that Xu Dong was blatantly lying. If he had those two formulas, he certainly wouldn’t tell anyone!
"Haha, you really have a spirit of dedication, admirable indeed. Unfortunately, I don’t possess your noble integrity, and I have no plans to publicize the formulas for the Prolo Pill and the Water Wood Pill," Jing Yan shook his head indifferently.
"You..." Xu Dong grimaced, feeling played.
"Enough! Jing Yan’s pill formulas are his personal property, and our Alchemist Association has no reason to demand them from him," Li Xingjiu interjected, not wanting to witness Xu Dong making a fool of himself any longer.
"Jing Yan, I wonder if you would be willing to trade those two pill formulas with me. If you tell me the formulas, I am willing to offer you resources beyond your imagination in exchange. Furthermore, I can introduce you to Pill Country," Alchemist Ji Yue couldn’t help but speak up.
He was drooling over the formulas for the Prolo Pill and the Water Wood Pill.
He considered secretly abducting Jing Yan and then coercing him to hand over the formulas. However, now that Jing Yan had healed the injuries in his Complete Heaven Martial Arts Meridians, the Prince Manor would surely protect him. His hopes of abducting Jing Yan were nearly non-existent. If he took action, he might not even be able to leave Lanqu County City!
If Jing Yan was willing to trade the formulas, it could be a decent choice.
