"Old Huo, are you serious?" Elder Zhen looked at his old friend in surprise. Alchemy Masters and Formation Martial Masters were cut from the same cloth: they held themselves above others and rarely bowed their heads.
In Elder Zhen's memory, this was the first time he had seen his old friend take the initiative to seek out a junior to learn alchemy, as he was doing today.
"Other than this method, if I want to advance any further in alchemy, my only option is to leave the Azure Dragon Academy and take a look around the Northern Spirit Realm." A trace of desolation flashed through Elder Huo's eyes.
"All right, take this formation. There probably isn't a more powerful second-tier formation." Seeing Elder Huo's earnest expression, Elder Zhen was moved by his friend's devotion to the Pill Dao.
"Thank you, thank you!" Overjoyed, Elder Huo hurriedly took it. "I'll bring you those five Fourth-Tier Pills in a few days."
"This formation diagram is my gift to Tang Yan. Your five pills can't buy it," Elder Zhen muttered from the side.
"Heh heh, I never said it wasn't from you. I'll discuss things with that boy first, and I'll definitely make it clear afterward that you gave it to him." Elder Huo chuckled, but looking at the smile of a successful schemer on his face, Elder Zhen could not help wondering whether the old fellow would explain in the end.
"Old Huo, I did hear that Tang Yan has run into some trouble," Elder Zhen suddenly said.
"What trouble?" Elder Huo immediately perked up.
"Add another five Fourth-Tier Pills, and I'll tell you." Elder Zhen did not let the chance to extort him slip by.
"Tell me. If it really is valuable, I'll definitely give you the pills," Elder Huo urged
