What If It's a True Qi Pill Formula?

"Chang Fei, are you stupid?" Elder Tang couldn't help but speak up. "300 million contribution points, isn't that price high enough?"

"It's high, but not high enough," Chang Fei sighed softly.

"What do you mean?" Elder Tang was startled, then raised his voice. "Chang Fei, don't speak in riddles with me. Say what you mean directly."

Chang Fei looked helpless. This Elder Tang really showed him no respect in front of so many people. But he was used to it; this senior's personality was always like this. Elder Tang advocated for choosing option two because he wanted to gain the greatest benefit for the association. However, at this moment, choosing option two might be a shortsighted action.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Young Brother Chen: "Young Brother Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you dared to propose the second condition, so you must have a countermeasure ready, right?"

"Does the Chairman think I would play tricks with the formula?" Chen Fan asked back.

"That's probably not the case," Chang Fei shook his head. "A true or false formula is obvious at a glance. Moreover, I see your demeanor is very straightforward; you don't seem like someone who would engage in deception."

"The Chairman is truly discerning," Chen Fan smiled.

Xia He and the others secretly felt that Chen Fan was a bit "thick-skinned" to praise himself like that.

Chang Fei smiled and said, "To be honest with you, when you proposed the second condition, I was very tempted. Even if the association bought the formula outright for 300 million, it would still make a huge profit. But I changed my mind because I want to attract talent. The price you offered is the highest ever, but it's entirely worth it. The association is willing to make concessions to earn your trust."

Elder Tang, standing beside him, felt uncomfortable, secretly sighing that times had changed. People like him worked to contribute to humanity, once refusing profits from high-grade medicinal pills. Yet this young man, despite his high talent, only looked at money. If everyone were like him, how could humanity prosper?

Chen Fan nodded. Chang Fei continued: "Furthermore, I have a hunch. If we choose option two this time, then next time, we might not have the opportunity to choose again as we do today."

Xia He and Ye Ling frowned, not understanding the Chairman's meaning. Chang Fei smiled, looking at Chen Fan: "Young Brother Chen must understand what I'm saying."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Chairman, I don't understand your meaning either."

"Is that so?" Chang Fei's smile deepened. It seemed this young man was even more cunning than he thought, but that only confirmed his choice was correct.

Chen Fan secretly thought: "The headquarters' Chairman is indeed difficult to deal with." He understood Chang Fei's meaning. If the association didn't make concessions and bought the Qi and Blood Pill formula outright, he wouldn't hand over the later improved True Qi Pill formula.

"Young Brother Chen, if there's nothing else to add, then let's proceed with your proposal: the association will allocate 30% of the profits from each top-grade Qi and Blood Pill sold to your account."

"Alright, I'll send the detailed instructional video of the formula to the headquarters."

"No need," Chang Fei smiled, glancing at Xia He and Ye Ling. "You should pack your things and go with Xia He and Ye Ling to the headquarters. Both of you, put everything aside; your top priority is to bring Chen Fan to the headquarters safely, understood?"

"Understood, Chairman!" Ye Ling and Xia He simultaneously promised to protect Chen Fan with their lives.

Sun Wei looked at Chen Fan with a mix of reluctance and joy. He knew that a genius like Chen Fan couldn't stay in this small Anshan City forever.

"Wait a minute," Chen Fan raised his hand, asking in confusion, "Chairman, when did I say I would go to the headquarters?"

Everyone was stunned. People usually wanted to climb higher, so why did he want to stay in this remote place? Xia He and Ye Ling tried hard to persuade him about the safety and convenience of Jiangnan Grand City, where Class A powerhouses were stationed. Chang Fei also promised to bring his entire family along.

"I'm truly sorry, Chairman," Chen Fan still refused. "I cannot leave now because I still have unfinished business."

He wanted to save Meng Xue, Meng Yu's sister. A man's promise must be fully kept. Moreover, he was worried about his family and friends in the camp, and most importantly, he needed a quiet place to refine True Qi Pills to increase his strength without being disturbed by anyone.

The atmosphere became tense. Elder Tang angrily scolded him for not knowing what was good for him. Chang Fei sighed, instructing Chen Fan to inform him immediately if he changed his mind. He secretly decided to pay attention to the situation in Anshan City, and if a beast tide occurred, he would immediately take Chen Fan away.

After the call ended, Elder Tang still grumbled, asking why Chang Fei had made such concessions. Chang Fei gave a bitter smile: "Elder Tang, have you ever thought that one day, he might even improve the True Qi Pill formula, just as he did with the Qi and Blood Pill?"

Elder Tang's breathing immediately quickened upon hearing this.
