"Teacher?"
Xiao Yan's heart grew guarded again at those words.
Although he had indeed intentionally mentioned it back in Wutan City, hearing it come from Lei Luo made him wary.
Yet Lei Luo's expression did not change in the slightest, revealing nothing of his intentions.
"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Yan asked.
Lei Luo knew the matter was settled today as soon as he heard that.
"Entrusted by an elder of my family, I have been searching outside for a certain pill. However, I cannot refine it myself, so I wanted to..."
After hearing Lei Luo's explanation, Xiao Yan felt reassured. "What pill?"
Lei Luo remained calm and unhurriedly took out a sheet of yellowed parchment, handing it over.
After a long while, Xiao Yan finally said with a troubled expression:
"Your Calamity-Breaking Pill isn't something that can be refined so easily. The Heavenly Flame it requires isn't even possessed by Pill King Gu He, the only person in the entire Jia Ma Empire capable of refining it."
"You..."
Lei Luo understood Xiao Yan's unspoken meaning perfectly.
It was nothing more than: Yes, my teacher can handle it, but a piece of unverified information alone does not match its value. You need to pay more!
Lei Luo had long prepared for that.
The fingers of his left hand lightly brushed his Storage Ring, and medicinal ingredients radiating rich medicinal potency appeared one after another on the small table.
"I have already prepared the ingredients. You only need to provide the effort."
But this little fox, Xiao Yan, was clearly not so easy to deal with.
Besides, there was an old fox hiding at his side.
"That's still not enough."
"Not enough?" Lei Luo murmured softly.
Then another faint glimmer flashed from his fingers, and yet another spiritual herb appeared.
