"Junior Brother, don't think we're working for nothing," Bai Xiuwen said, seeming to see through Chen Mu's thoughts.
"In the mortal world, whether you study medicine or blacksmithing, don't you have to work as your master's laborer for several years?"
"Just think of the benefits once you become an alchemist."
"This little bit of effort is hardly worth mentioning!" Bai Xiuwen earnestly advised.
That made sense!
Chen Mu looked enlightened and asked hopefully, "I wonder, how many alchemists has that Senior Brother Qi taught?"
Bai Xiuwen's whole body stiffened before he quickly returned to normal. "Alchemy isn't that easy to learn."
Chen Mu simply smiled at Bai Xiuwen without speaking.
"It seems Junior Brother misunderstands Senior Brother Qi." Bai Xiuwen regained his composure and said meaningfully, "After some time, you'll understand Senior Brother Qi's methods."
What? Since persuasion had failed, was he planning to resort to threats?
Chen Mu immediately narrowed his eyes.
But Bai Xiuwen remained unhurried. "Senior Brother Qi and I agreed to meet tonight. Would Junior Brother like to come see him with me?"
"Once you witness Senior Brother Qi's heroic bearing, Junior Brother will surely change your mind."
What a pity.
Chen Mu sighed and dispersed the already-prepared Five Ghosts Possession Great Method.
I really want to kill this guy.
He couldn't let this fellow keep coming around to cause trouble.
Chen Mu's eyes shifted, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
"Will Senior Brother Qi really teach people alchemy?"
Bai Xiuwen perked up. He was backing down!
"Of course!"
"So long as you refine a certain amount of Essence of Five Grains, you can even buy the Fasting Pill recipe without spending Dao Merit!"
A certain amount?
No Dao Merit?
Who was he trying to fool?
Essence of Five Grains could already be exchanged
