Chapter 292: One Hundred Million Contribution Points

Just as Lu Yu was secretly speculating in his heart, Kong Ming's voice suddenly rang out again.

This time, he did not address his words to the people from the Yong'an City Branch present.

Kong Ming turned his head slightly, locked his gaze on an old man not far away, and said, "Yao Lao, what I said is true, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Qi Heng and the others subconsciously followed Kong Ming's line of sight, their eyes falling in unison upon Yao Lao.

At this moment, Yao Lao's state was truly peculiar; his mouth was wide open, and his face wore a stunned expression, as if time had frozen for him, his entire being immersed in extreme astonishment.

"Yao Lao?" Seeing this, Kong Ming was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but call out softly several times, attempting to rouse Yao Lao from that seemingly absent-minded state.

Unfortunately, Yao Lao still seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of thoughts, showing no reaction to Kong Ming's calls.

Helpless, Kong Ming had to walk forward and reach out to gently touch Yao Lao's arm.

"Ah?"

Only then did Yao Lao wake up as if from a dream, like someone suddenly startled from a deep sleep, his face full of confusion, his eyes still lingering with shock that had yet to dissipate.

"..."

Qi Heng and Zhang Xue exchanged a glance, a hint of suppressed laughter flashing in both their eyes, while they simultaneously tried their best to restrain themselves from letting their amusement show.

They never would have imagined that Yao Lao, who always maintained a composed and dignified image during the many occasions at headquarters, would lose his composure like this in front of everyone.

One must know that at headquarters, even the President always maintained a polite attitude when seeing Yao Lao, treating him with extreme respect and consulting him on everything, which shows how pivotal Yao Lao's status at headquarters is.

Seeing this scene from the side, Song Tian couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes inadvertently glancing toward Lu Yu.

Without a doubt, he knew clearly in his heart that the culprit behind Yao Lao's loss of composure was none other than this Brother Lu.

A Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill! Song Tian exclaimed inwardly, these words striking his heart like a heavy hammer, one blow after another.

He never would have thought, even if he were beaten to death, that the Top-grade Blood Qi Pill, which he had always perceived as incredibly precious and top-tier, was not the most supreme existence.

Above that, there was actually an even rarer Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill.

If he could... Thinking of this, Song Tian seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly stopped his train of thought, not daring to dwell on it any further.

What a joke, that was a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill! Even the President probably never had the chance to taste such a divine object.

He had to know his place; if he could buy one Top-grade Blood Qi Pill, he would be grateful and consider it a gift from heaven, let alone this legendary Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill.

He couldn't help but ponder whether, if he mentioned this to Brother Lu later, the other party would be willing to do him a favor.

"Kong Ming, did you say something to me just now?" Yao Lao raised his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, attempting to use this to cover up his recent loss of composure.

Seeing this, Kong Ming was truly torn between laughter and tears, but out of respect for Yao Lao, he patiently repeated everything he had just said word for word.

After hearing it, Yao Lao's complexion changed instantly; the face that had previously carried a hint of embarrassment was now replaced by an extreme fervor.

His eyes were fixed tightly on the Qi Blood Pill placed on the table, covered by a thin film, and the obsession revealed in his gaze was as if he were not staring at a pill, but at the lover he longed for day and night.

"That's right," Yao Lao's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "This pill is indeed a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill."

The three of them, Qi Heng and the others, looked at each other; they had never doubted that the President would deceive them in this matter, as the President's reputation had always been well-known in the Association.

Now that Yao Lao, an authority in the field of alchemy, had confirmed it himself, the authenticity of the matter naturally went without saying—it was beyond doubt.

Kong Ming nodded slightly, shifted his gaze away from Yao Lao, and turned it toward Lu Yu.

He took a deep breath, as if preparing himself for what he was about to say, and then spoke slowly:

"Brother Lu, would you be willing to sell this improved Alchemy to the Association? Rest assured, the Association will never treat you unfairly in such matters and will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

Although everyone felt in their hearts that since Lu Yu was willing to demonstrate this improved Prescription in front of everyone, he should have the intention of handing it over to headquarters. But what if? No one could guarantee it.

Fortunately, their worries were ultimately proven to be unnecessary.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "President, you are too polite. As a member of the Association, I am naturally willing to hand the Prescription over to headquarters. I just wonder what kind of satisfactory price the President will offer?"

Upon hearing this, a layer of fine, cold sweat broke out on Song Tian's forehead, and he secretly pondered, Brother Lu, that is the President opposite you, why be so blunt?

Just hand the Prescription over directly; with the reputation of headquarters, they certainly wouldn't renege on the deal.

If this were to annoy the President, that would be troublesome.

Qi Heng and the other were also startled upon hearing this. Today, they had finally witnessed what it meant for a newborn calf not to fear the tiger.

"Hahaha." Kong Ming laughed heartily and said, "Brother Lu is straightforward, I admire this character of yours."

"Indeed." Yao Lao nodded in agreement, a smile appearing on his face as well, "Young people should be like this; don't always be beating around the bush, it's boring. Kong Ming, in my opinion, headquarters should just offer one hundred million Contribution Points to buy this Prescription."

"One, one hundred million Contribution Points!" Not only Song Tian, but Qi Heng and the other were also left dumbfounded.

Even as Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists, it was by no means an easy task for them to earn one hundred million Contribution Points.

After all, the purchase price for an entire Elite-level Fierce Beast was only a little over ten million.

To save up one hundred million Contribution Points, one would have to hunt at least five or six Elite-level Fierce Beasts.

Although Song Tian had once killed a Black Feather Eagle with a single blade, there were very few Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists in the entire Association with such strength—no more than six.

"Hmm." Kong Ming nodded and looked at Lu Yu, asking, "Brother Lu, you've heard Yao Lao's words; what do you think?"

To be honest, Kong Ming felt this price was indeed a bit on the high side.

For the Association's existing Prescriptions, below the Consummation level, the probability of producing a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill was thirty percent, and the selling price was only two million Contribution Points.

It was heard that there was a Prescription in the Awakened Association that reached the Consummation level, with a seventy percent probability of producing a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill, priced at six hundred points, which, when converted to the Association's Contribution Points, was six million.
