"All right, let's make the deal," Yang Hu nodded. He did not even think about negotiating.
After all, the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group had most likely already made their best offer right from the start.
When dealing with a figure capable of changing the fate of an entire group, one could not afford to be stingy.
"Great, great!" Xiong Chen laughed happily as well.
"But… do you actually have the authority for this? That girl, Ouyang Feiyao, will not mind?" Yang Hu suddenly asked.
After all, although he was the group's only third rank alchemist, he was not the president.
"Haha, do not worry. Although I am only a director, I still have some influence."
"Besides, this is something beneficial to the group. How could Xiao Feiyao be against it?" Xiong Chen laughed loudly.
"Then it is settled," Yang Hu nodded.
Soon after, the two signed the contract.
The reading took less than a minute, and Yang Hu did not worry much about it.
After all, in front of a Grand Master, a piece of paper was nothing more than paper.
Of course, with the thinking speed of a Grand Master, one minute was more than enough to read the contract dozens of times.
After signing, Yang Hu went straight to the warehouse and took the last Bone Rebirth Pill.
In addition, he also took an Enlightenment Pill, which he had promised to Gu Gongye.
Although he could refine them in a few hours, he was simply too eager to walk again as soon as possible.
Originally, he planned to deduct eighty five million from his credit, but Xiong Chen was generous and told him to only pay for the ingredients.
After all, Xiong Chen was usually the one refining third rank pills.
Even so, Yang Hu refused and stated that he would return another day to refine the two pills and restock them.
It was not worth owing a favor over something like this.
Just as he was about to leave, Yang Hu remembered something and spoke calmly.
"Later, tell that girl, Ouyang Feiyao, that if she has any trouble, she can call me."
"After all… I still owe her a favor."
The image from that day resurfaced in his mind, the moment when he fought between life and death to protect Yang Bingxue.
He had been severely injured while defending the place where Yang Bingxue was together with two friends. At that instant, he believed he would die there.
Until that cold and graceful figure appeared and eliminated the monsters with extreme ease.
This had happened, in part, because Ouyang Feiyao's younger sister was among Yang Bingxue's friends.
Even so, it was undeniable that he owed her a favor, since she had saved his life.
Although he had also saved her sister's life, because in front of a monster every second counts, the two could be considered even.
However, a few days ago, Ouyang Feiyao's secretary had come looking for him, saying that there was a job for him at the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group.
It seemed she knew about his current situation.
But since he had just awakened the system at that time, he naturally refused.
Even so, he kept it in his heart.
And that was also the reason why he chose the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group instead of the Feng Pharmaceutical Group.
After all, once he decided to come to the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group, he knew the impact he would cause.
Even countless Grand Masters might ask him to refine fourth rank Blood Baptism Liquid.
After all, it was the cheapest resource that could be taken continuously.
It could double cultivation speed.
Who would not want that?
But Yang Hu also set a condition: the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group could not reveal his identity in any way.
At least, not until the auction.
By then, he would have already refined the Bone Rebirth Pill and would be able to walk freely.
His strength would increase significantly.
And as long as even his younger sister could become a warrior, he would receive even more rewards from the system.
However, upon hearing Yang Hu's request, Xiong Chen's expression became a bit stiff.
"It is not a problem to try to hide it until the auction, but…" Xiong Chen glanced at the figure behind him.
Only then did Yang Hu turn his gaze toward the young girl who had been following Xiong Chen the whole time.
She looked to be in her early twenties and was dressed in somewhat tight sportswear.
Moreover, he could tell that her cultivation was at the advanced warrior level.
There was no doubt that this girl had an extraordinary background.
Seeing Yang Hu look at his disciple, Xiong Chen coughed lightly.
"Let me introduce her. This is my disciple, Mu Ruoxue."
"The granddaughter of the current patriarch of the Mu family."
Hearing Mu Ruoxue's identity, Yang Hu could not help but feel bitter inside.
It seemed that keeping his identity hidden was definitely impossible.
The three major families, Mu, Rong, and Yu.
Each of these families had a patriarch who was a true Grand Master.
Moreover, they were families that had existed in Luoyang City for a very long time, producing Grand Masters generation after generation.
There were even rumors that they had dominated Luoyang City since ancient times.
This was definitely not an existence Yang Hu wanted to deal with right now.
"Grand Master Yang," Mu Ruoxue stepped forward and bowed gracefully.
A faint blush even appeared on her face.
For her, it was a strange feeling. For the first time, she had met a boy her age whose status was higher than hers.
Seeing what he was worried about, she solemnly assured him, "Do not worry, Grand Master Yang. I will not tell anyone about this matter."
"Alright, then I thank Miss Mu," Yang Hu nodded slightly.
After saying that, he quickly took his leave and departed.
Which left Mu Ruoxue completely confused. Was she that frightening?
