Han Xiaopo didn't know how to answer Lin Yi's question. He had given everything he could to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi only needed the colored steel. If he didn't ask for anything else, Han Xiaopo wouldn't be able to prove his sincerity!
But after some hesitation, Han Xiaopo raised his head, "Boss, I don't know how to prove it, please tell me!"
"Forget it, a long journey tests a horse's stamina, and time reveals a man's heart. If you're really a reliable person, I won't be stingy and help you increase your strength, but if you're a hypocrite, then forget it!" Lin Yi said.
"That's … Boss Lin, it's not that I'm in a rush or that I don't want to prove myself to you, but I have an idea …" Han Xiaopo said after some hesitation. "There's another event in the hidden house summit- it's a duo battle. If I can increase my strength, then I can go up there with you, boss- with your strength, you'll definitely be able to win, and I'll just stay on the sidelines and protect myself!"
"Oh? This duo battle requires two people to go up there? Can't one person do it? "Lin Yi asked.
"No, it has to be two people. Plus, if one of the two in the team is knocked down, the team loses. So no matter how strong the boss is, the follower is too weak- if he gets knocked down first, he'll still lose!" Han Xiaopo explained.
"I see." Lin Yi frowned and went into deep thought- to be honest, Lin Yi had a good eye for people- this Han Xiaopo shouldn't have any ulterior motives towards him, but even so, Lin Yi didn't want to give him any benefits directly!
Whether it was Chen Yutian, Wu Chentian, or Lingshan, they had all been friends for a long time, and Lin Yi had just helped them level up. As for his new follower, Zhao Qikun, it'd been so long since Lin Yi had helped him level up, and it didn't make sense for him to do it for Han Xiaopo first.
However, if there really was such an event in the competition that required two people to cooperate, then Han Xiaopo's low strength would definitely affect his results.
"By the way, Boss, you mentioned earlier that you're an Alchemist?" Han Xiaopo took a deep breath and suddenly thought of a good way to defect!
"That's right. Why do you ask?" Lin Yi nodded.
"Then, Boss, do you know about the Qi Gathering Pill?" Han Xiaopo asked in a low voice.
"Qi Gathering Pills?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Xiaopo. "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"Boss, I won't hide it from you. Our hidden Han family found a few sets of materials used to refine Qi Gathering Pills in the ancient ruins. This has always been our hidden Han family's greatest secret. Only the core disciples know about it, and they were strictly forbidden from spreading it!" Han Xiaopo said solemnly, "Boss, you should know that this Qi Gathering Pill might not mean much to ancient sects, but to hidden sects like us, it is something that we would fight over even if we had to break our heads to obtain!"
Han Xiaopo's words made Lin Yi nod. "That's right. In the eyes of the hidden families and normal sects, the Qi Gathering Pill is a priceless treasure!"
"Boss, if you can help me increase my strength and continue to protect our hidden Han family, I'm willing to convince my grandfather to give you the materials to refine the Qi Gathering Pill!" Han Xiaopo said. "Consider this a big gift from me, Han Xiaopo, to Boss! This is our hidden Han family's secret. Now that I've told you about it, it more or less shows my sincerity! If news of this gets out, our hidden Han family will be robbed or even exterminated! "
"Robbed? Exterminated? Not necessarily, right? Although the Qi Gathering Pill is precious, if you only have the materials to refine it, the hidden families won't be able to refine it even if they take it away, right? Alchemists are very rare, and the alchemists of the hidden families are at most first rank. Only the hidden House of the Right has a high rank alchemist. But to refine a third rank pill like the Qi Gathering Pill, you'd need at least a fourth rank alchemist. As far as I know, only the Sky Elixir School has such an expert, right? "Lin Yi asked calmly.
"Boss, it seems that you still don't know much about the Sky Elixir School. Us hidden families can actually ask them to refine pills. Every time we refine a pill, we just need to provide more materials. No matter how many pills we refine, the Sky Elixir School will take half as a reward. If we only refine one pill, then we're out of luck and the Sky Elixir School will take it for themselves." Han Xiaopo said.
"Oh? The Sky Elixir School has such a rule? Then why don't you ask them to refine pills? "Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Boss, the Sky Elixir School has this rule, but it's only for those houses that have a relationship with them. If you don't have a relationship with them, even if you ask them, they might not help you!" Han Xiaopo smiled bitterly. "Plus, even if we ask them to refine pills for us, with the hidden House Han's current strength, would they be able to keep the pills? They can't even keep the materials, let alone the pills! "
Han Xiaopo's words enlightened Lin Yi. It was true. Back then, Boss Yu was willing to enter an ancient tomb filled with traps just for a qi gathering pill. It was enough to show how precious the pill was. If the hidden House Han managed to make the pill, then they might really be wiped out!
The materials for the qi gathering pill were extremely rare, and with the hidden houses' current strength, it would be hard for them to gather all of them. The ancient sects could gather them, but because of the drawbacks of the qi gathering pill, no one would refine it. However, the Sky Elixir School wouldn't reject a request from a hidden house like this. The reward they received, even if they sold it, could be exchanged for countless treasures or money!
"But, I'm curious. Are you really willing to give me the materials for the qi gathering pill? Or would your grandpa agree to your suggestion? "Lin Yi looked at Han Xiaopo strangely.
"An innocent man gets into trouble because of his treasures. This thing in our hidden House Han, we either keep it hidden and never see the light of day, or we'll get into trouble if we take it out!" Han Xiaopo said. "With the current development of our hidden House Han, we won't be able to have an Earth class late phase peak or Sky class for a few generations. As long as there isn't a Sky class in our house, we wouldn't dare take the materials out! Unless there's an Earth class late phase peak who uses it directly after making the pill, but that's risky as well. Without absolute confidence, we wouldn't ask someone to make us a pill. "
