Chapter 587 Concluded
Hu Donghe planned to purchase some of the Qiankun Pill Path classics given to him by Jing Yan for ten billion Spirit Stones.
"City Lord, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?" Jing Yan opened his eyes and looked at Hu Donghe.
"Is it too little? I can add more!" Hu Donghe laughed.
"No, City Lord, I gave you the items, but I didn’t intend to sell them." From the beginning, Jing Yan had never planned to exchange the Qiankun Pill Path classics for Spirit Stones from Hu Donghe.
If he had such an intention, he would not have directly handed over the stele containing the Qiankun Pill Path classics to Hu Donghe; he would have at least discussed terms first before handing it over.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, I cannot simply take your items for free, let’s settle it this way! However, if you want to acquire the Jade Building, ten billion Spirit Stones won’t be enough." Hu Donghe waved his hand, as his status did not allow him to take advantage of Jing Yan.
Therefore, to repay Jing Yan’s favor, he supported Jing Yan’s acquisition of the Jade Building and wanted to give Jing Yan ten billion Spirit Stones to purchase some of the Qiankun Pill Path classics.
Yang Xiao, who stood by, was confused. He wasn’t present when Jing Yan gave some of the Qiankun Pill Path to Hu Donghe. Now, he began to understand why the City Lord had so strongly supported Jing Yan against the Jade Building; it seemed that Jing Yan had given the City Lord something.
"Ten billion Spirit Stones is indeed far from enough. I have a little over one billion to less than two billion Spirit Stones in cash on me, which is still far from enough," said Jing Yan, nodding.
Immediately, his eyes flashed.
"City Lord, the item I just gave you, if you grasp it fully, there is a chance to advance further in the path of alchemy, but this possibility is not one hundred percent," Jing Yan spoke again.
"Correct! But I am already very satisfied. I have searched for over two hundred years without finding the way. Now, I have hope," Hu Donghe said, somewhat moved.
