"I have only one condition!"
Xiao Fan's words immediately put the First Elder and the other elders of the Ye Family on edge.
A request from a Dou Zun expert was unlikely to be simple. After all, the Ye Family was the one asking Xiao Fan for help. Besides, with the alchemy skills Xiao Yan had demonstrated, he could shine brilliantly at the Pill Gathering even without their support.
Xiao Fan swept his gaze over the Ye Family elders. Seeing their nervous expressions, he chuckled, lowered his finger, and leaned back in his chair. "Hehe, there's no need to be nervous, everyone. My condition is actually very simple."
"Please tell us, young friend!"
The First Elder exchanged glances with the elders beside him, then looked back at Xiao Fan.
Seeing that the time was right, Xiao Fan stopped keeping them in suspense and stated his condition outright. "During the days remaining before the Pill Gathering begins, I want the Ye Family to unconditionally provide my junior brother with every resource he needs for alchemy, and spare no effort in helping him advance his alchemy level."
"That... that's all?"
A trace of surprise appeared on the First Elder's face, while the other Ye Family elders looked equally taken aback.
Although the condition sounded simple, coming from a Dou Zun expert like Xiao Fan, it was far simpler than anything they had expected.
"Hehe, everyone, remember that I said every resource. Of course, we won't deliberately make things difficult for you over particularly rare heavenly treasures."
As though he knew what the elders were thinking, Xiao Fan settled his gaze on the First Elder. "With the Ye Family's strength, supplying a Seventh-Tier Alchemist's needs is indeed not an overly demanding request."
"I chose to work with you partly because of Xin Lan.
