Hai Bodong shook his head. "The pill formula isn't in my hands. It's another sixth-tier alchemist's private formula."
"A sixth-tier alchemist's private formula? That makes things a little difficult. Elder Hai, where is this alchemist? Could we buy the formula from him?"
Mittel Teng Shan immediately thought that if it was a formula the Karn Chamber of Commerce did not possess, handing it in would earn a considerable contribution reward.
"You don't need to ask about him. Help me gather the ingredients as soon as possible. I'll ask whether he's willing to sell the formula."
But thinking of Xiao Yan's decisive way of doing things, Hai Bodong doubted he would readily agree to sell it. "He most likely won't sell the formula. In the end, we may still have to rely on him to refine the pill."
"I see. He really is rather arrogant, then."
Mittel Teng Shan gave a cold snort as he spoke. There was considerable friction between him and the Alchemist Association. Had Fa Ma not pressured him, he would not have brought the Jia Ma Imperial Family in so early. He could at least have let the Mittel Family monopolize the profits for a while.
"This isn't the alchemists' world anymore. The Karn Chamber of Commerce can supply even sixth- and seventh-tier pills in bulk. Elder Hai, once that man finishes refining your pill, there's no need to bother with him anymore. Come develop your prospects in the Black-Corner Region with us."
At this point, Mittel Teng Shan thought for a moment before continuing, "Elder Hai, in half a month, the Mittel Family will escort fifteen family members to join the Karn Chamber of Commerce. If you're interested, you can go with them."
"Understood."
With that, Hai Bodong gave Mittel Teng Shan a long look before
