"Old Cao, I've been feeling uneasy. Could we talk?"
Outside the pill room, Zhong Quan deliberated again and again before deciding to discuss the matter with Cao Bing.
After all, even if he wanted to make a move on the way back, he alone would not be able to keep Luo Hong from escaping.
And since there was no getting around Cao Bing in this matter anyway, there was naturally no need to hide it from him now.
"Younger Brother Zhong, if you had fewer thoughts, your mind would naturally be at peace."
Hearing this, Cao Bing did not turn around. He continued gazing at the distant mountains and forests, speaking with hidden meaning.
"Hehe, it seems my intentions truly can't be hidden from you, Old Cao. But are you really unmoved? Even if the True God Pill only has half the effect he claimed, it would still be a treasure we would gladly purchase with Immortal Yuan Stones!"
Seeing that Cao Bing had long since seen through him, Zhong Quan no longer concealed anything.
His originally handsome face was now twisted into a particularly sinister expression by greed.
"Younger Brother Zhong, Cao still advises you to calm down. The method for refining that True God Pill is so unusual—can you guarantee that you would be able to refine it after obtaining it? Compared to that, Cao thinks more highly of Fellow Daoist Luo himself. The fact that he was able to ascend from a Lost Interface to the Immortal World alone shows that he is no ordinary man. His future prospects are boundless. To voluntarily abandon one's friendship with such a person over the refining method of a True God Pill would be truly unwise!"
With a sigh, Cao Bing abruptly turned around and looked solemnly at Zhong Quan.
