Inside the Alchemist Guild president's office...
"Heh heh heh heh~"
Looking at the handsome young man before him, Fa Ma wore an extremely lecherous smile.
Although Xiao Han had no idea what the old man was imagining, the way he was looking at him made Xiao Han's chrysanthemum clench.
A chill ran down Xiao Han's spine, and he hurriedly interrupted the old man's wild thoughts.
"Ahem! Master Fa Ma! You said earlier that if I joined the Alchemist Guild, I'd get half-price discounts on all medicinal ingredients. Is that true?"
"Heh heh, of course."
Interrupted by Xiao Han, Fa Ma seemed to realize how undignified he had looked. He quickly put on a warm expression and said, "Not only that, I can also give you one of the Guild's Fourth-Rank Divine Wood King Cauldrons.
"You should know that it was a treasure left behind by the previous vice president of the Alchemist Guild. If he hadn't happened upon a Fifth-Rank cauldron, he might not have been willing to contribute it.
"So, young man? Are you tempted?"
Ignoring the ridiculous name "Divine Wood King Cauldron," Xiao Han was already salivating over the prospect of a Fourth-Rank Medicine Cauldron.
Damn, a Fourth-Rank Medicine Cauldron would cost at least two million Gold Coins, and they were practically impossible to find even if you had the money. Who wouldn't want to get one for free?
Xiao Han sighed at Fa Ma's offer. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted. I do need a high-grade Medicine Cauldron right now. But..."
He paused and glanced at Fa Ma. "Nothing in this world comes free, right? You can't get anything without making a sacrifice. If you want something, you have to pay an equal price."
"Heh heh, naturally."
Fa Ma didn't beat around the bush.
