It's just that he has paid a huge price to get these pills and he is unwilling to give them out for free, which causes him to be entangled. He cannot decline directly, as it would dissatisfy Little Two. If this dissatisfaction affects the future battle, it's not worth the loss.
Little Two seemed to sense the leader's hesitation, so he said, "Leader, I will not take the pill for free. In exchange for the pill, I will give you a piece of spirit essence."
After hearing Little Two, the leader's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation, "Okay, take one True Essence Pill!"
Spiritual essence is a precious natural object found in spiritual veins. This natural treasure has only one use, but that use makes it crucial. A cultivator can use spiritual essence to replace the spiritual vein and employ it for breakthroughs.
