Chu Yuntian's face was full of bitterness, but he also understood that Master Chen was a man of his word. He probably wouldn't change no matter how much he begged.
Lin Yi was surprised. He really didn't expect that the conditions given by this guy surnamed Chen would be so overbearing. He provided the materials and the alchemy fee, but in the end, he couldn't even get one pill. He could only give it to the old man surnamed Chen. Wasn't this completely making a wedding dress for the old man Chen?
Although there was nothing wrong with an alchemist receiving elixir as a reward, and the Heaven-Stage Island also had such a rule, the Heaven-Stage Island would at least guarantee that in the case of one pill, the employer would be given priority. After all, it was the employer who collected the materials and spent a lot of money on alchemy. If the alchemist could only make one pill, there was no reason to continue to collect elixir after receiving the alchemy fee.
At this moment, Chu Yuntian's heart was in a dilemma. Speaking of alchemists who could refine Nascent Soul Golden Pills, Old Man Chen wouldn't be the only one in the entire Immemorial Martial World. However, Chu Yuntian could only invite him. Therefore, other than him, he really couldn't find anyone else to refine Nascent Soul Golden Pills.
However, the conditions given by this old man Chen were really too harsh. One had to know that the success rate of this old man Chen's alchemy was never more than 30%. With such a low success rate, it was simply impossible to guarantee two pills.
With a success rate of 30%, if he wanted to make one pill, he would have to bear a great risk. Now that he finally made one pill, he had to give it to Old Man Chen. No matter how Chu Yuntian thought about it, he felt that he would end up losing everything.
"Chu Yuntian, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and give me a straightforward answer! " Old Man Chen's face was full of impatience. He didn't put Chu Yuntian, a Nascent Soul Old Monster, in his eyes at all.
However, it was no wonder that the Chu Family was originally a small family. Chu Yuntian, a Nascent Soul Old Monster, was only the weakest Nascent Soul Early Stage. Old Man Chen was an alchemist from the small Archaic Underworld Five Elements Sect. The status of the two could be said to be like heaven and earth. In front of Old Man Chen, Chu Yuntian really didn't have much confidence.
Because of this, after Chu Yuntian was urged, he could only continue to smile apologetically, "Master Chen, this condition is really a bit harsh. Can you let me think about it again?"
Old Man Chen said angrily, "Consider? What was there to consider?! Could it be that there is an alchemist more powerful than this Seat? "
Chu Yuntian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, in the entire Ancient Underworld, there aren't many who can compare to you, Master Chen, let alone those who are stronger than you!"
When Old Man Chen heard this, his expression became slightly better. He snorted coldly and said, "Since that's the case, what else do you have to consider? Apart from me, who else can turn these materials into pills? "
Chu Yuntian thought to himself, "Even if no one can refine it, at least these things belong to our Chu Family. If we sell them, we can get back a lot of Spiritual Jades. But if we let you refine them, with your level, it would be difficult for you to even form a single pill. But if a single pill is formed, it will belong to you. Our Chu Family's things will be completely wasted!" No, even if he were to throw something into the water, he would at least be able to hear a sound. If he were to refine pills, he wouldn't even be able to hear a sound!
However, Chu Yuntian could only say these words in his heart. He didn't dare to say any of them out loud. Old Man Chen's status was there, and Chu Yuntian really couldn't afford to offend him.
Chu Yuntian didn't dare to open his mouth, but Chu Tianlu, who was frank and straightforward, immediately walked over and cupped his fists. He said, "Master Chen, with all due respect, the entire Ancient Underworld knows that your success rate in alchemy is around 30% at most. If we follow your conditions, our Chu Family will basically lose everything. In the end, there is a 99% chance that we won't get anything. So, can you let our Chu Family use other things to exchange for one pill?"
Old Man Chen's expression was as gloomy as water. He said with a sneer, "Where did you come from, junior? Is this where you have the right to speak? Can't you see that this Seat is talking to your family's elder? Why are you interrupting? "
Chu Tianlu said boldly, "I am the Young Patriarch of the Chu Family. Right now, I am in charge of all the matters of the Chu Family. The same goes for alchemy. Master Chen, do you think that I have the right to speak?"
According to normal circumstances, Chu Tianlu should at least address himself as a junior. However, he was now Lin Yi's little brother. If he addressed himself as a junior in front of Old Man Chen, it was tantamount to making Lin Yi the same generation as Old Man Chen, or even a junior. This made Chu Tianlu, who worshipped Lin Yi like a god, unable to accept it. So, his tone of speech was a bit harsh.
Old Man Chen said furiously, "This Seat doesn't care if you are the Young Patriarch or the Old Patriarch. To put it bluntly, who does your Chu Family think you are? How dare you speak to this Seat like this? "
"Master Chen, calm down! Let's talk this out! " Chu Yuntian hurriedly smiled apologetically and appeased Chu Tianlu. If it was before, he would definitely give Chu Tianlu a good scolding. However, now, he didn't dare to do so. Didn't he see that Lin Yi was standing beside Chu Tianlu? If he offended Old Man Chen, at most, he wouldn't be able to perform alchemy. However, if he offended Lin Yi, he would definitely die!
"Talk? What kind of talk? Is this how your Chu Family asks me to perform alchemy? Do you really think that our Five Elements Sect can be bullied by just anyone? " Old Man Chen didn't intend to talk nicely at all. In his opinion, for a grassroots family like the Chu Family, he had condescended to perform alchemy for them, which was already giving them face. Not only did they not know how to be grateful, but they even wanted to bargain?
"I dare not, I dare not! Master Chen, you are too serious! "Chu Yuntian's forehead was about to break out in cold sweat. If he had known this would happen, he would not have performed alchemy!
"Today, this Seat will leave my words here. Whether you want to or not, you have to do it. Otherwise, if word of this gets out, where will I put my face?" Old Man Chen narrowed his slender eyes, which flickered with a cold light. He looked at Chu Yuntian and made him feel cold. However, what he said next made Chu Yuntian feel completely cold. "If you don't agree, then the Chu Family will be blacklisted by our Five Elements Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, both Chu Yuntian and Chu Tianlu were completely dumbfounded. What did it mean to be blacklisted by the Five Elements Sect? Lin Yi might not know, but they were clearly aware of it. In the small Jianghu of ancient times, few sects that offended the Five Elements Sect could come out unscathed. Even if there were, it would definitely not be a grassroots family like the Chu Family, which had not even entered the top ten small sects.
