âSecond Butler, to be honest, the alchemists who can refine the Snake Corral Pill are not here now, so Iâm afraid youâve come for nothing.â Ning De smiled amiably, his shrewd eyes full of apology.
âPresident Ning, how can this be? Werenât the masters from a few hours ago still around?â The second butler thought that he had heard it wrong and said in disbelief. The Snake Corral Pill might only be an Earth Grade pill, but the difficulty of refining it was not inferior to a Heaven Grade pill at all. Therefore, only alchemists above the Alchemist Grandmaster level had the chance to successfully refine it. The alchemists from the Alchemist Association of Guanyue City were obviously still around not long ago, but why were they all gone in such a short time? This was really too unbelievable.
âSecond Butler, you also said that a few hours ago. Itâs been a long time. They canât be waiting for you here forever. Who knows if you can find the Snake Totem Flower today. Moreover, you donât understand the characteristics of the Snake Accumulation Pill. Donât look at how many alchemist grandmasters our association has. They donât have much confidence in refining the Snake Accumulation Pill. If you want the success rate to be high, itâs best if you can find an alchemist Supremacy so that you donât waste the Snake Accumulation Flower you worked so hard to find!â Ning De reminded very understandingly.
âPresident Ning, where did those grandmasters go?â The second butler asked stubbornly. Hmph! Didnât he know that the success rate of finding an Alchemy Supremacy to refine would be higher? However, Alchemy Supremacies were not cabbages that could be found easily. Moreover, even if he found them, the Alchemy Supremacy might not refine an Earth Grade pill for you! At that time, he would probably have to find an Alchemy Grandmaster to refine it. More importantly, their young miss couldnât wait!
âThey went to the headquarters,â Ning De said after some thought. Hehe, he didnât believe that the Wu family would dare to go to the headquarters to find someone. Moreover, the headquarters was far away. Wu Qianâer would probably be in pain by the time they found someone and returned.
âThe⦠the headquarters? Why did they go to the headquarters?â The second butler couldnât help but roar. Damn! The headquarters would take at least half a month to reach Guan Yue City, and it would take more than a month to travel back and forth. If he went to the headquarters to find someone, the old master would skin him alive.
âThey naturally have something important to do at the headquarters!â Ning Deâs tone suddenly became a little cold.
âWhat important matter is more important than our young missâs matter?â The second butler was very anxious and accidentally said the words in his heart.
âHmph! Second Butler, who do you think your young miss is? Even the three major families probably donât dare to say anything about the Alchemist Association. Itâs not as important as a particular person in their family!â Ning De snorted coldly and rebuked very unpleasantly. This Wu family actually didnât even take the Alchemist Association seriously. How ridiculous. Seems like he had to report Second Butlerâs words to the headquarters!
In the Boundless Heaven Continent, no one dared to offend alchemists even though the status of mystics was very noble. This was because even mystics would be injured, and injuries required pills. If you offended a certain alchemist with status, then prepare for your funeral early! That was why the major families on the continent would be very polite to alchemists!
âIâm sorry, President Ning. I misspoke. Thatâs not what I meant. Please donât stoop to my level!â Cold sweat instantly emerged from the second butlerâs back when he heard Ning Deâs words, and his little heart was trembling non-stop from fright. Boohoo⦠How could he have forgotten that there was a popular saying on the Boundless Heaven Continent that said that he would rather offend the King of Hell than the alchemist! Boohoo⦠Those words just now were really just his heartfelt words. Why did he say them out loud! Oh no, he was dead meat this time. If the patriarch knew that he had offended the alchemist, he would definitely not let him go.
âI wonât bicker with a dog, but I canât guarantee about the other alchemists,â Ning De said coldly, hating the Wu family in his heart. Hmph! He hadnât felt that the Wu family was so annoying before, but now, the Wu family was like a nauseating fly in his heart, wanting to destroy them whenever he saw them.
âPresident Ning, Iâm a dog. You can hit or scold me, but donât be angry with me!â The second butler pleaded with a long face. Boohoo⦠If he couldnât coax Ning De, then he wouldnât have a way out! He knew very well how ruthless the patriarch was!
âI wonât be angry with a dog. You can go,â Ning De said lightly. Then he stood up and left the office without looking at the second butler.
After Ning De left the office, he went straight to the yard he had prepared for Leng Ruoxue and the others. He saw tents full of them through the fence as he walked to the door. Two black lines rolled down his forehead. Uh! It seemed like they really planned to camp in the yard!
Ning De knocked on the door and waited respectfully.
âPresident Ning, why are you here?â Feng Da walked out of the room, opened the door, and asked Ning De curiously.
âUh! I wanted to ask you what you want to eat for dinner.â Ning De walked into the yard and said.
âHaha, President Ning, you donât have to worry. Weâve already eaten,â Feng Da said with a smile. Then he pulled Ning De to a stone bench in the yard and sat down.
âHave they eaten? Why so quickly?â Ning De couldnât help but ask curiously. He couldnât help thinking in his heart. Could they have gone out to eat? However, he hadnât heard anyone from the guild say that they had gone out before!
âHehe, we eat food prepared by ourselves. We are used to eating what we prepare when we are out training,â Feng Da explained.
âOh, why donât we see Miss Leng and the others?â Ning De couldnât help asking when he saw only Feng Da coming out.
âMiss and the others are all asleep, except for me. By the way, Miss asked me to give this to you.â Feng Da handed Ning De a white porcelain bottle.
âThis is?â Ning De took the porcelain bottle and asked doubtfully. However, when he opened the stopper, the medicinal fragrance in the bottle seeped out. He couldnât help but widen his eyes, so excited that he was speechless!
âSnow Spirit Pill!â Ning De said excitedly after a while. Boohoo⦠It really was the Snow Spirit Pill, the legendary Heaven Grade Snow Spirit Pill!
âPresident Ning, itâs just a pill. Do you have to be so excited?â Feng Da teased softly.
