But Pill Masters were simply too rare. They were usually cultivated by major powers from a young age. Recruiting a 'wild' one was practically impossible, no matter how attractive the offer.
Xu Yang frowned. "Is there no other way? For instance, what if after I learn the formula, I agree to refine a set number of pills for the Zhu Family each month?"
Although he had a decent impression of the Zhu Family, he had no intention of joining them. 'If I really step into the spotlight and reveal my identity, the trouble will be even greater.'
Zhu Bin shook his head. "Every Pill Formula is fundamental to a family's survival. We would never teach one to an outsider."
'Besides, I don't even know this man's name, let alone his identity or background. What if another family is using a Pill Master to try and swindle the Zhu Family out of a Pill Formula? We'd be falling right into a trap.'
'It's better to offend him than to trade away a Pill Formula.'
"It seems I was being presumptuous."
