"WHOOSH!" The crowd erupted again.
They got to set the terms of the alchemy contest, choosing whichever pill they wanted. If they won, they'd get a twenty-fold reward, but if they lost, they'd only forfeit two sets of raw materials.
It was like a gift from the heavens.
Although Gao Neng had tweaked the rules of the event, requiring them to put up the alchemy materials beforehand, this small change was nothing in the face of such massive potential gains.
"Two sets of elemental raw materials for a twenty-fold return... Low risk, high reward. This is a huge win!"
"Yeah, a twenty-fold profit margin, and we're the ones setting the challenge. There's no way we can lose!"
"Those high-grade raw materials are as good as ours!"
Soon, they reached a consensus.
The sects and families had no more objections. After all, Gao Neng had already put three thousand stalks of high-grade elemental materials on display, so there was no way he could renege on the deal.
