Mi Shuhua came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
He could not wait to...
Well, he had left in such a rush that he had specifically taken that bottle of Jade Marrow Pills with him.
Luo Chen guessed that the other man planned to use the refined Jade Marrow Pills to pave the way.
These Foundation Establishment Cultivators had cultivated for long enough that they were often old enough to become cunning as demons.
Not quite to the point of seeing ten steps ahead after taking one, but looking three or five steps ahead was perfectly normal.
Rather than wait until Luo Chen's pill-refining skills improved and his output surged before looking for buyers, it was better to open up the channels in advance.
Only then could they directly reap enormous profits when the time came.
By comparison, Qi Refinement Cultivators, whose lifespans still fell within the bounds of ordinary people, were rather shortsighted.
Luo Chen was exactly that kind of "shortsighted" person!
Within the short range of his vision, someone was preparing to sneak away.
Luckily, he was shortsighted, so he spotted him right away!
As though he had teleported, Luo Chen blocked the Pill Hall's exit at a speed faster than thunder could cover one's ears.
He held out his little hand.
"Hand it over!"
Sikong Shoujia played dumb. "What?"
Luo Chen gritted his teeth. "You were bound to lose that game just now. Don't you dare welch on it. Give me our wager!"
A wager?
What wager?
And why did he say I was bound to lose?
Sikong Shoujia widened his cloudy old eyes. "How can you slander an innocent man out of thin air? Who lost? This old man merely played a round of that whatever-it-was hopscotch game with you to pass the time."
