10 Alchemist Association (end)

Upon listening to Ye Hai reply Han simply lets out a victorious smirk, as he replies.

*Well I don't want anything much just a few items from some families of glory city, even though the item might be useless to them, they still might not necessarily be willing to part with them."

"But compared to the value of the items that I am currently giving out, plus a few words from the Ye Family, be it the snow wind branch or the lighting one, I am quite sure a fair deal can be achieved, off course this is one my major demands, the second one is I want 20% of every pill the Alchemist Association produces based on formula's I provide for the next 10 years, I do have a few more minor requests as well but lets leave them for later."

After pondering for a few moments Ye Hai whose brows have been continuously been furrowed, 'he finds these requirements a bit excessive, but looking at that larger picture, the deal seems to be somewhat fair as well, the items that the kid would need can be exchanged for, via pills, giving him 20% of pills thorough stands a bit too much, but he will hardly use soo many of them, so majority of them will be used by people of Glory City at the end of the day, whoever he chooses to give them to would not be trash, them strengthening under this kid would be Glory City strengthening at the end of the day.' Think of this grits his teeth Ye Hai decides to agree to Hans offer.

The only thing the old man was thinking was 'Everything is for the sake of Glory City'.

Taking the list from Han Ye Han simply read it, the list described the items Han needed, the familes he needed them from, and various items which may match the description of items he needed. A few other items whose uses remain unknown to anyone. This list simply contained a lot of items. Taking a deep breath Ye Hai looks towards Han as he continues.

"Are you sure that's all you need ?"

Listening to Ye Hai's question Han cannot help but involuntarily ask "Is there anything that you wish to add to the list elder Hai ?"

Without batting an eye Ye Hai decides to move from that question to another topic all together as he turns towards the elders in the room and begins speaking.

"Whatever happened today must be kept a secret, In short the matters that happened today stays within this room. For the people outside we shall simply handle this matter by infroming them that these pills came from a traveling Alchemy Grandmaster who recently arrived in Glory City, the respected elder has decided to stay in a secluded location somewhere within the Glory City and made some deals with the city lords mansion."

"As per a private transaction the respective elder sold a few pill formula's and inscription patterns to the city lords mansion, as per his request the Alchemist Association is responsible for making the pills which will later be given to the city lords mansion to manage."

Upon hearing this President Gu Yan of the Alchemy Association cannot help but call out;

"Elder Ye this cannot be done, not only are we lying to the public the pills need to be equally distributed to the people to gave to most effective result."

As he continues to listen to President Gu, Elder Hai maintains his signature poker face as he rebukes;

"Gu Yan you are now the president of the Alchemist Association, don't tell me that you are not able to see something as ridiculously obvious as this, The Glory City that we live in today is a mess, the noble families keep getting richer while the one's who live a normal life cannot even afford to send their children to the holy orchid institution let alone buy pills for cultivation. There is a limit to how many people the snow wind family can find, recruit and train to their peak, there has always been a limit to amount of resources we could give them, because of this there are too many talents who remain untrained, forever failing to reach their potential."

"To make matters worse the existence of the plague like organisation known as dark guild, they could and would do anything and everything they can do to get these pills and their formula's. By giving out these formula's to every alchemist is as good as gift wrapping the hope of this city to them. However the main reason for my actions is very simple, I believe there is a spy in our city. If not it would be impossible for the dark guild to kill so many of our family members, it would not be possible for them to know when we leave the city and for them to be prepared everytime we plan for an ambush. Only by this method can we do everything possible to prevent the pills from going into the hands of the dark guild." If we can't kill them we must stop them from gaining strength, these will help many of their members to break into the dark gold rank not to mention a few of them might even break into the legend rank."

So hence, Although the Alchemist Association will not manage these pills, Instead it will be city lords mansion who is responsible for this job. However we won't sell these pills, instead of selling the pills our job will be to create and manage a cultivation ground where people can cultivate using the pills."

"Since Alchemist need to earn money, we will make it so that the people who enter the cultivation ground people will be required to use a coupon, one which the alchemist association will be in charge of selling."

Listening to Ye Hai speak although Gu Yan still does not feel that it is for the best for the City Lords Mansion to handle the pills, but there is nothing that he can do other than put his grievances aside, The Ye family has always been the leader of glory city, they have always done and sacrificed the most ever since the age of darkness arrived.

From the side Han can be seen listening into the conversation with a dumbstruck expression. ("Well that works, never thought people could do that as well, in the light novel the sacred family had been secretly supplying the pills to the dark guild, however with this method they won't have pills to supply only a bunch of coupons that are assigned to them, so there is no way for them to send things to the dark guild unless they want everyone to know they are working for the Dark Guild.")

At the end of the conversation Han hands over the every single one of the formula to Elder Hai.

While looking at Ye Hai's signature poker face Han suddenly feels as if he was the one who had made a loss in the trade and not the other way around.

*Sigh* hey Grandpa Ye I'm calling in one of the small favors the you need to do for me, teach me swordsmanship.

("Looking at Han then his cultivation base which has not even reached bronze rank, Ye Hai shakes his head in disapproval, according to him it would be a lot better for Han to concentrate on his cultivation instead.")

Han however takes this personally he continues;

"Oye Grandpa what's the problem didn't they say that the people of Ye family always keep their promises ? We just made that deal and now you are already breaking it? Not to mention that I'm such a talented young man I've already reached the peak of silver rank, though it's just my physique for now it is still enough to tell that I'm a hand working young man, so teach me already."

("Though Han says all of this he cannot help but in worldly curse, the library as it's name states only has books one cannot learn swordsmanship and gain experience from reading a book can they now ? At the moment he is no different from a little bookworm, one that is a bit more buffed up that's all.")

Upon hearing Hans retort Ye Hai is a bit shocked as he looks at Han with a shocked face, this may be one of the few moments when his traditional poked face finally breaks but now he looks down on Han as if he's looking at an idiot.

"Kid you do know that your physical strength has is in the first stage of silver rank, do even know that's 1-star silver rank and not 5-star silver rank. Too add a cheery on top of that from the looks of it you have managed to reach that rank not along ago."

("Though he went back to his standard poker face within mere moments, the ridicule in his voice existed and while thinking that there was no way a spiritual constellation expert or someone similar would atleast know something this obvious, a kid who can't even tell his own rank cannot be some old body stealing thief, while this kid does have the caution, he isn't evil , little did know that at this moment the caution and wariness he had towards Han seemed to have decreased by a lot without him realizing it.")

Without waiting for Han to get over his shock he moves ahead with just one sentence ;

"Lessons start tomorrow morning."

Stating which he simply disappears leaving Han behind.

("Though it seemed that Han was left behind alone, however it was not as as the fact was that there were always a few elders and grand elders who were secretly tagging along as per Ye Hai's orders.

These elders were there the entire time and were shocked silly with the matters they witnessed today. It was however a good thing that Han would never find about them being so near him and not know it, as it would only make him feel a lot more pressured.")
