The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1435 - 1434: Joining the Divine Concealment

"You're here so early? I thought you'd let me rest a bit more."Tang Rao's nasal tone and heavy dark circles complained to the man in black about the fact that he hadn't slept well.

"Where are my elixir pills?"

Just being near Tang Rao, one could smell the rich fragrance of medicine. It seemed that the chances of the elixir pills failing were not high.

"I spent three whole days to create the elixir pills. Aren't you even going to thank me a little?"

Tang Rao made the elixir pills for him for free, and even personally delivered them right to him. Was he really not moved at all?

"We're just trading."

As expected of a businessman, always putting the word "trade" on his lips, afraid others might not know.

Just because it's a trade, does that mean one shouldn't respect someone's hard work?

"Big brother, don't be so cruel to me, okay? We're not doing a one-time transaction. Do you really want to upset me and make me stop doing business with you?"

Tang Rao first assured, he truly wasn't threatening the man in black, just felt that everyone is equal. You helped me, saved the ancestor's life, I paid you with rewards and elixir pills. As you said, we're only trading, why do you treat me harshly, why should I be grateful when I give you elixir pills?

Things that defy common sense, Tang Rao didn't want to continue.

"Thank you."

When the man in black said thank you, he truly felt that saying those words was quite awkward.

"That's more like it, knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them is still sensible."

Tang Rao clearly begged the man in black to say thank you, yet once he did, Tang Rao immediately adopted a different tone.

"Here are the elixir pills you wanted, I wasted one batch, but another produced a single pill."

Tang Rao took out a bottle and retrieved one elixir pill from it.

To achieve one pill with two sets of materials was already quite an accomplishment for the man in black.

In his understanding, the more advanced the elixir pills, the harder they are to produce, and to get five pills from one batch was simply dreaming.

Tang Rao took advantage of this loophole to actually gain quite a bit.

"You can actually create seventh-grade elixir pills; are they truly made by you?"

The man in black carefully examined the elixir pill, the pill was full, clearly not ordinary, and the fragrance confirmed it had the desired effect. He just couldn't believe Tang Rao was so young yet could make seventh-grade elixir pills. For the future, eighth, ninth grade, peak tenth grade, it wasn't impossible.

"Of course, it's me. No one else in Kao Shan Sect can make elixir pills."

Tang Rao yawned, clearly dissatisfied with the man in black's doubts.

"That makes sense."

With the Nine Revival Pill, those he cared about were saved, and the man in black silently celebrated his victory.

"Do you want to join Shen Yin? We could cooperate more in the future."

The man in black recognized Tang Rao's talent in alchemy and wanted to invite Tang Rao to join Shen Yin. This way, he could comfortably rely on Tang Rao for future needs.

"You want me, doing legitimate business, to join Shen Yin? Am I crazy or do I think my life's too long?"

Tang Rao shot the man in black a glance, he could consider other trades, but joining Shen Yin was out of the question.

A well-known organization in the Divine Realm, joining would lower others' standards, and he would rather not ruin it.

"Is Shen Yin really as bad as you say?"

To actually refuse joining Shen Yin and say things like that?

The man in black clearly hadn't processed it.

"Not particularly. I'm just worried that someone inside might play me to death. You want me to keep making elixir pills for you. Surely you're thinking someone as talented as me could someday make eighth, ninth, even tenth-grade elixir pills, right? That's an issue worth considering. In my view, your imagination might become reality. Unfortunately, this time you saved me and Family Head Liu agreed to give you elixir pills, that's why I agreed, but getting me to help later might not be so easy."

First mentioning the breakup, Tang Rao couldn't let the man in black see alchemy as an easy task. The greatest and yet most obscure profession under the starry sky should be taken seriously by all, rather than regarded as cheap labor by the strong, deliberately ignored.

"You're very smart, but as a weakling, your intelligence doesn't have such great utility. Shen Yin not only completes tasks externally but appears as an assassin organization from the outside. Yet, for you, it's your shelter. By joining, you can avoid taking tasks, but you will become Shen Yin's protected subject. Shen Yin has a principle: no killing its own people. Whether you want to be an outsider or one of their own, it's your decision."

Want to be an outsider or one of their own?

It was indeed asking Tang Rao if he would join Shen Yin or oppose it, the man in black had truly completed his abacus.

Whether to join or not was indeed a tough question for Tang Rao.

"In broad daylight, under the open sky, why do I feel like I've done something good and now the bad guys have set their eyes on me? Big brother, are you sure you have no ill intentions towards me, and truly don't want to harm me?"

Tang Rao didn't sense malice from the man in black, so naturally, he did not suspect him of saying or doing anything harmful, he was only contemplating turning from a servant to a singing worker. He considered his super invincible alchemist status to be too valuable to be underestimated.

"Tang Rao, this rare opportunity, you can choose to refuse."

But after refusing, Shen Yin's treatment of you, well, I won't be responsible.

Is that what you mean?

Tang Rao felt a pang and thought, fine, fine, just treat it as getting himself a protection token.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay. Seems like I have no choice but to join. Someone as handsome and charming as me, it's normal for you to be impressed. Since you've said it, I begrudgingly agree, but I must tell you, if you dare threaten me after I join Shen Yin, I'll quit anytime."

The man in black had no objections to this and endorsed it promptly.

"Also, I'm not someone who can suffer grievances. If anyone in Shen Yin wants me to make elixir pills without conditions, I won't agree, but you need to ensure they won't threaten me."

The man in black could assure Tang Rao on this.

Tang Rao was initially sought by the man in black to specially make elixir pills for him. If others wanted him to make elixir pills, neither Tang Rao nor the man in black would agree.

"Inside Shen Yin, better not mention your identity as an alchemist, remember?"

The man in black had a stern face without a hint of humor.

His furrowed eyebrows were like those of an old man.
