Valley Master Nie left disappointedly, as his plan to exchange resources for techniques fell through without success, and went to consult with Elder Zhang.
Zhang Xiaohua, on the other hand, was not worried about Huichun Valley's refusal. The pill formula for the Crimson Flame Pill, along with the refining methods, were clearly stated, and the current "water-decoction method" of Huichun Valley would definitely not succeed in refining it. Even if Valley Master Nie managed to simulate the true qi he had taught, the success rate of the Crimson Flame Pill would only be 30%. Even though the conditions Zhang Xiaohua proposed were harsh, it only prevented them from watching certain parts of the process, yet the whole procedure would still improve Huichun Valley's alchemy. Besides, both Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang would surely desire the successfully refined Crimson Flame Pill.
How could Elder Zhang not agree?
