Imparting My Cultivation To Beasts Gets Me 10,000X In Return Novel - Chapter 373

Fatty subconsciously looked at Lin Bai, wanting to get an answer from him.

The thin man held a chopstick in one hand and a wine glass in the other. His expression was calm, as if he did not hear their conversation.

Lin Bai revealed a guilty smile and said, “To be able to make brother Chu think so highly of me… I’m really glad! However, this matter has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Bai didn’t intend to admit this matter.

The Alchemist Association not only mobilized the entire association’s strength, but also spent a large amount of assets to search for the black market’s organization that specialized in gathering intelligence to find the City Lord’s latest whereabouts.

And The Alchemist Association wasn’t the only one that did this.

Those clans and forces that had once been the demon City Lord’s eagle hound before the City Lord’s true appearance was revealed also spent a large amount of assets to find the demon City Lord’s whereabouts so that they could kill him with their own hands. This would change the reputation of the families and powers.

And everyone knew that Lin Bai was just a lone wolf. Even if Bai Xi, the thin man, and the fat man were included, there were only a few of them..

If others were to find out that Lin Bai had actually found the whereabouts of the City Lord before them and even killed the City Lord with his own hands…

He would definitely be suspected by others!

…

This wasn’t what Lin Bai wanted.

Chu Changfeng had a smile that hadn’t changed for ten thousand years on his face. He narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over the thin and fat man. His gaze was extremely concealed.

The great elder tried to change the topic. He toasted Lin Bai and solemnly said,

“Our Alchemist Association had quite a bit of conflict with master Lin in the past. Today, we’re here to apologize to Master Lin.”

The great elder had an apologetic expression.

“However, it was He Qingyuan who misled us and forced us to cooperate with the demon’s actions… Chu Changfeng and I had stopped him a few times, but… Sigh!”

Chu Changfeng mocked from the side, “You died well, He Qingyuan. If he hadn’t died, our Alchemist Association would have been dragged into the water. And he still had quite a few secrets with him even after he died. How despicable!”

Lin Bai tapped his index finger lightly on the table. The Grand Elder and Chu Changfeng shut their mouths and waited for Lin Bai to speak.

“Hey, you guys made us miserable back then. He Qingyuan was courting death. After that, you guys didn’t do anything good either!”

The Fatty wasn’t happy when he heard this. He laughed coldly.

Lin Bai waited for the Fatty to finish speaking before raising a hand, indicating for the Fatty to stop.

When the Great Elder and Chu Changfeng heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

“This matter is indeed our Alchemist Association’s problem. Please forgive us, Young Master Lin. How about this…”

The great elder revealed a pained expression:

“I’m willing to provide young master Lin with ten top grade medicinal pills. If you need anything, feel free to mention it!”

The Fatty couldn’t believe his ears and couldn’t help but poke them with his finger.

The top-grade medicinal pills of the Alchemist Association… Those were all medicinal ingredients that were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns. They also had extremely high requirements and precision for the fire of the pill cauldron. Moreover, they also needed highly skilled alchemists…

The Alchemist Association could only produce a dozen or so top-grade medicinal pills a year!

“Ha!” The thin man sneered. “You guys are trying to curry favor with Lin Bai to slightly redeem your reputation as a demonic eagle hound. Fortunately, in this leaderless city, you’ve obtained quite a lot of benefits!”

Chu Changfeng looked at the skinny man with sharp eyes and didn’t deny it. “There are quite a lot of forces that have such thoughts!”

Lin Bai stopped tapping his fingers on the table and said, “He Qingyuan is to blame for this. It has nothing to do with your Alchemist Association.”

The Great Elder and Chu Changfeng let out a sigh of relief.

As long as there were enough pills, the Alchemist Association would still have a chance.

“I’ll have to trouble the Great Elder and brother Chu for the ten top-grade pills. I’ll list them to you in the future.”

Lin Bai didn’t ask for too much on top of the pills.

He knew that the Alchemist Association had a very limited number of pills of this grade. Even if they asked for too much, they wouldn’t be able to increase the number of pills. So, why not…

Maximize the benefits!

“He Qingyuan is very hostile towards me. I want some information about him. The more detailed the better. Also, I want to go to his room to investigate.”

Lin Bai voiced out his thoughts, which surprised both the Grand Elder and Chu Changfeng.

They were already prepared for Lin Bai to ask for twenty pills.

Lin Bai said his thoughts on He Qingyuan decisively, not afraid that the two people in front of him would suspect his intentions.

He Qingyuan, the Fool, and the person they spoke of… Were definitely not so simple to investigate. Otherwise, the alchemist association would have long suspected.

“Alright, no problem. After He Qingyuan died, some of his things were in his residence. No one touched them.”

The Great Elder agreed and made up his mind to investigate He Qingyuan’s matter after he left the Clear Phoenix Restaurant!

Chu Changfeng’s eyes drifted and the smile on his face faded a little.

Then, the group ate their food and chatted politely.

During the conversation, Lin Bai learned that Chu Changfeng was the Great Elder’s last disciple and had high hopes for him.

In that case, the grand elder wanted Chu Changfeng to become the number one disciple of the Alchemist Association. With a disciple of such a status, his position in the association would be more stable.

Not only that, now that the city was without a leader, there were undercurrents surging from all sides. The Grand Elder also had the idea of further expanding the influence of the Alchemist Association after clearing its reputation.

Lin Bai looked at these power struggles and shook his head, feeling a little funny in his heart.

Moreover, Lin Bai also knew of a more important piece of news.

The position of City Lord had not been decided yet, and many people in the city were coveting this position. Among them, the most promising ones were the Chen Clan and the Luo clan.

The grand elder boldly predicted that it would definitely come from these two clans. Their Alchemist Association was even one step ahead and had already made some connections with these two clans. When one of them became the City Lord in the future, their alchemist association would not suffer any losses.

Actually, Lin Bai felt that doing so was a little unnecessary.

Because the Alchemist Association was special, its position in the city was as solid as an impregnable fortress. No matter how the position of City Lord changed, it would not have the slightest effect.

Then why did the Grand Elder do the unnecessary?

Could it be that he was hinting that he should curry favor with these two families, or…

The food on the table was quickly almost finished. The wine was empty one jar after another. Fatty burped and touched his bulging belly.

“Then, let’s say goodbye for now. There will be an elder council in the association later.”

The great elder showed an apologetic expression and stood up with Chu Changfeng.

“Brother Lin!” Chu Changfeng smiled. “There will always be a position for you in our Alchemist Association. As long as you want it, master and I will definitely satisfy you.”

Chu Changfeng knew that Lin Bai was not someone that was easy to rope in. After expressing his intentions, he left.
