Immediately, conversations rippled through the crowd.
"He's actually charging a fee!!"
"Doggone-it! How shameless! How fake!"
"Let's go to some other peak. None of the other alchemists charge merit points!"
Almost immediately, tens of thousands of apprentice alchemists flicked their sleeves and left. Meng Hao watched them leave and sighed.
"These Fang Clan people are so stingy," he thought. "There were so many people before, but as soon as I mentioned charging merit points, so many of them just got up and left…."
In the end, only about a thousand people remained behind. To them, one merit point wasn't very much; considering it was Meng Hao who was lecturing, they felt it was worth it.
