"Patriarch Zhu is getting desperate. He's put out the word to that Pill Master that everything is negotiable, but unfortunately, the Pill Master hasn't shown up."
"Serves them right. I heard that because they controlled the Guiyuan Pill, two hundred Blood Coagulation Pills a month from that Pill Master wasn't enough for them—they demanded he make three hundred. The Pill Master pretended to agree, then just disappeared."
"Tsk tsk... Three hundred pills. Those Pill Masters in the Inner Sect are considered diligent if they refine thirty elixirs a month. I can't believe Zhu Xiancheng had the audacity. I'd run away too. They really don't treat Pill Masters like people."
"I heard a rumor. The Zhu Family has secretly posted a bounty: a thousand taels of silver for anyone who can provide information on that Pill Master."
