Once that group left, the atmosphere in the hall immediately lightened. Jing Lou instantly dropped his Grand Palace Master facade, laughed, and gave Feng Hao a thumbs-up. "You're a ruthless one, kid. You actually managed to jack up the price of that pill by several hundred times!"
"Ruthless? I don't think so." Feng Hao smirked. 'The really ruthless part is yet to come.'
As a Palace Master, Jing Lou naturally understood Feng Hao's implication. He was pleased, but still a little worried. "Are you that certain they can't crack the formula for the Life Creation Pill?"
"It's not a certainty, it's a guarantee!" Feng Hao said confidently. "Alchemy Techniques are vast and profound. There's a lot you wouldn't understand even if I explained it."
With that, he ignored the stunned Jing Lou and strode over to Xiyue Luan.
"Auntie, from the looks of it, are you trying to get something for nothing?" Feng Hao chuckled as he approached, teasing her.
