1730 Extorting the Scumbags (1)

“In a month or so, the Alchemy Department will provide the Martial Arts Department with pills on time,” Helian Qiguang said this through gritted teeth.

Helian Qiguang thought that he took a big step back, but in Lu Zijia’s opinion, he wasn’t sincere about doing business at all.

Even Du He was angered by Helian Qiguang’s reasonable attitude. “Kid, where did you get your confidence from? It’s the rule of the Hongtian Academy that the six academies provide resources to each other for more than a thousand years. But to you, it seems like the Martial Arts Department needs to pay you? If that’s the case, I have to ask you, what’s the cost of students from the Alchemy Department coming to the Martial Arts Department to borrow and learn cultivation techniques?”

As Du He asked, Helian Qiguang’s face gradually turned ashen.

“Pills are more precious than cultivation techniques,” Helian Qiguang replied indignantly.

Obviously, Helian Qiguang just felt that pills were more precious than cultivation techniques, so he felt that the Alchemy Department was at a disadvantage by exchanging pills with the Martial Arts Department for cultivation techniques and other resources.

In fact, Helian Qiguang wasn’t the only one who thought so. Most of the alchemists in the Alchemy Department also thought so, or they wouldn’t often target people from the Martial Arts Department.

Du He sneered when he heard that. “In that case, the Martial Arts Department won’t exchange any resources with the Alchemy Department in the future!”

Anyway, the pills given to the Martial Arts Department by the Alchemist Institute over the years were the worst and contained a lot of impurities.

If the students of the Martial Arts Department had the conditions, they wouldn’t take such pills with too many impurities.

It wasn’t that Du He hadn’t protested before, but it was useless.

So, over the years, most of the funds of the Martial Arts Department had been used to buy pills outside.

Helian Qiguang didn’t expect Du He to be so unyielding at all. A moment of shock appeared on his face, and he flew into a rage out of humiliation after reacting.

“I’m just a student of the Alchemy Hall. If Dean Du wants to cancel the cooperation with the Alchemy Department, please tell my master yourself.”

In Helian Qiguang’s opinion, Du He simply didn’t know what was good for him. Did he think he could be lawless just because he had Lu Zijia?

Du He took a sip of tea and glanced at Helian Qiguang coldly. “So you still know that you’re just a student. I thought you were on the same level as me!”

Obviously, Du He was mocking Helian Qiguang for not respecting his master.

Helian Qiguang’s face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly.

“Kid, are you about to lose control?”

Seeing that he had no choice but to swallow his anger, Du He felt extremely happy.

“Kid, don’t hold it in anymore. Come, come, let it out. Let me experience how impressive the students of the Alchemy Department are.”

Hearing Du He’s obviously provocative words, the corners of Lu Zijia’s mouth couldn’t help twitching.

The Dean was really something. He was already so old, but he was still like a child. Wasn’t he afraid of ruining his mighty image?

Knowing very well that Du He was deliberately provoking him, Helian Qiguang calmed down instead. After taking a few deep breaths, he brought the topic back to the main topic again.

“Lu Zijia, what exactly do you want to give me the Wood Spirit Fruit?”

Helian Qiguang glared at Lu Zijia, as if he couldn’t wait to cut her into pieces.

Lu Zijia smiled and said, “Nothing. It’s business. As long as Senior Brother Helian can afford it, I’ll certainly sell it to you.”

“Tell me the price you want directly!” Helian Qiguang gritted his teeth and said.
