Chapter 289: Video Call with Headquarters

I have come to visit you specifically this time with an important purpose: to invite you to participate and confirm the authenticity of this matter.

Thinking about it carefully, this is actually not a difficult task; it is nothing more than troubling you to spare a little of your precious time.

If it is ultimately proven that this matter is false, you can rest assured; once Qi Heng and the others return, I will certainly order them to come before you immediately and sincerely apologize to you to express their regret.

But if this matter is true, Yao Lao, I think with your dedication and passion for Alchemy.

I am afraid that even you will be unable to suppress the excitement in your heart and will be impatient to start an in-depth study of this Prescription and thoroughly understand the mysteries within, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao could not help but be stunned for a moment.

That is right; if such a miraculous Prescription truly existed, even if he did not sleep for three days and three nights and did not have a drop of water, he would still want to understand the mysteries within.

"Fine, then I would like to see if that kid named Lu Yu is really as capable as Qi Heng and the others say."

Hearing this, Kong Ming smiled slightly; in fact, he had long been unable to suppress his own heart and was full of anticipation.

Very quickly, Qi Heng and Zhang Xue, who were at the Yong'an City Branch, received news from the headquarters.

"Little Brother Lu,"

Qi Heng put down his phone, looked up at Lu Yu, and said with a very sincere attitude: "President Kong specifically entrusted me to hope that you can refine a batch of Pill again. He will witness the whole process via video call to confirm the truth of this matter.

Moreover, the highly respected Yao Lao from headquarters will also be watching from the side. Little Brother Lu, I sincerely hope you will not refuse; the significance of your improving the Prescription is truly extraordinary.

For our Association, this may be an excellent opportunity to break through the existing pattern and improve our overall strength.

And for the entire human race, it has an even more extraordinary and far-reaching impact, and it may even change the current situation."

"That is right, Little Brother Lu."

Zhang Xue also tried her best to persuade him from the side: "I know this might cause you some trouble, but I really beg you. Don't worry, as long as you can perform normally in a moment, the Association will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Brother Lu." Song Tian, who was on the side, also hurriedly chimed in, constantly winking at Lu Yu.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; once missed, it will never come again.

President Kong is a heavyweight figure in the Association, second only to the President in status.

And Yao Lao—although Song Tian had not heard much of him before, could someone who appears alongside President Kong be an ordinary person?

He is likely a world-famous Alchemist Master!

If Brother Lu can seize this opportunity, he will truly be taking a step up to the heavens.

The Branch here will also be able to bask in some of the glory.

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Lu Yu suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders increase sharply.

He admitted that most of his reasons for bringing out the Prescription were out of selfishness.

After all, he would not need this Prescription in the future, so it was better to take it out in exchange for some tangible benefits; even if he could exchange it for ten or twenty million Contribution Points, it would be a guaranteed profit.

But in reality, Qi Heng was right; this Prescription is indeed of great significance to the entire human race.

The Blood Qi Pill is like this, the True Qi Pill is even more so, and the same logic applies to higher-level pills like the Gathering Spirit Pill.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile:

"Senior Qi is too polite; this is just a small favor. When shall we start? I can be ready at any time."

Qi Heng and Zhang Xue looked at each other, both revealing irrepressible excitement in their eyes.

"Immediately, we will start immediately. Little Brother Lu, you are really..." Qi Heng was so excited he did not know what to say.

"I will go find someone to prepare the equipment right now." Saying this, Song Tian rushed out in a hurry.

In less than five minutes, all preparations were complete.

"President Song, the headquarters is ready and we can conduct the video call at any time," Qi Heng said after glancing at the message on his phone.

"I have finished debugging on my end as well."

"Good, then let's begin. Little Brother Lu, don't put too much pressure on yourself; just perform normally as you did before," Qi Heng specifically urged him again.

Soon, two figures appeared on the projector.

One was a tall, middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, and the other was an old man with graying temples who looked difficult to get along with.

They were none other than Kong Ming and Yao Lao from headquarters.

The two looked at the screen before them, and finally, their gazes fell upon Lu Yu simultaneously.

It had to be said that Lu Yu did indeed look very young.

"President, Yao Lao, this is Little Brother Lu Yu."

Qi Heng reached out his hand and introduced him in the direction of Lu Yu.

"Hmm."

A smile appeared on Kong Ming's face as he said: "Little Brother Lu, I heard that you improved the Prescription for the Blood Qi Pill in the Association, and that you were able to increase the probability of producing a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill from the original thirty percent to one hundred percent. I wonder if this is true?"

Beside him, Yao Lao's eyes were full of scrutiny.

If this kid named Lu Yu dared to lie, he was confident he could detect it immediately.

Song Tian's palms were sweating nervously, and his heartbeat was involuntarily accelerating.

One must know that this President Kong before them is a True Essence Realm Martial Artist! Compared to himself, the difference in strength is a full two major Realms!

This gap was like a natural chasm, making him feel both awe and nervousness.

"Yes, President."

Lu Yu met Kong Ming's gaze calmly, his tone steady and firm.

A flash of surprise crossed Kong Ming's eyes; clearly, Lu Yu's calmness and composure exceeded his expectations. Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, as if he were quite satisfied with Lu Yu's performance.

"Good, then refine another batch for us to see. By the way, the person beside me is a Master in Alchemy; not only the Blood Qi Pill, but he can also easily refine the True Qi Pill."

"Enough."

Yao Lao waved his hand impatiently and said: "Then hurry up and start."

Lu Yu looked at him calmly.

"Yes, President."

"?"

Yao Lao frowned slightly.

Just now, it seemed, he felt as if he had been looked down upon a little?

In this very instant, the atmosphere of the entire room suddenly became tense.

Without realizing it, the palms of Qi Heng and Zhang Xue were covered in sweat.

This time, they could be considered to have staked their own reputations on it.

If Lu Yu performed poorly this time, it would be hard to explain to the Guild Master, but Yao Lao would certainly be dissatisfied with them.

However, judging from Lu Yu's performance just now, he appeared very calm, so a poor performance should not occur.

As long as he can perform the same as the previous three times, then everything will be fine.

"Brother Lu, good luck!"

Song Tian clenched his fists tightly, silently cheering for Lu Yu in his heart.
