Ming Li then created another pill and kept it on his cube. He decided to leave the remaining herbs for future use. He glanced at the medallion and studied it for a bit. After a while, he found nothing special about it then decided to transmit a message to Great Elder Gu. When he finished transmitting the message, a person knocked on his door. Ming Li was taken aback on how fast the Ten Great Merchant's Union responded to his message. When Ming Li opened the door, he saw Elder Han together with the shop keeper. Ming Li then slightly bowed to them and asked "Can I meet Great Elder Gu?" Elder Han nodded in response and said "Follow me." Ming Li followed Elder Han to a secluded area. On the area Great Elder Gu can be seen sitting on a rock surrounded by bamboo. Beside Great Elder Gu, another man was standing and discussing something with the great elder, the man was none other than Eleder Lou. When the two elder noticed Ming Li, Elder Gu's expression remained serene, while Elder Lou eyed him with contempt. Ming Li didn't care much about the two, all he cared about was the reward he will get, but he still greeted them respectfully. Elder Lou suddenly said "Let us see the pill." Ming Li didn't hesitate and pulled out the pill, when he pulled out the pill viscous energy swept around the as if the pill was looking for something to devour. Great Elder Gu's expression flickered and raised his hands. The pill flew towards Great Elder Gu and landed on his palm. Great Elder Gu deeply observed the pill as his eyes gleamed with satisfaction "You actually managed to re create the pill. We will fulfill our promise and reward you." Since the materials used to create the pill was from the Ten Great Merchant's Union, Great Elder Gu decided to keep the pill. When Ming Li saw Great Elder Gu keeping the pill, he slowly coughed and cleared he throat as he said. "I will gift the pill to you Great Elder Gu as token of our friendship." Of course Ming Li would not allow these elders to take the pill for free and would insist that the Elder's somewhat owe him for the free pill. Elder Lou's brows knitted and was about to say something when Great Elder Gu stood up and slowly walked towards Ming Li. When he was a step away from Ming Li, he pointed at Ming Li's forehead and a Hammer symbol appeared on it. "This will symbolize our friendship. You can use that symbol once to call out to my soul to protect you for a short moment when you are in trouble. I will also send the nearest and strongest seeker we have to aid you." Ming smiled when he felt the symbol attach itself to his soul. He felt that he could use this power anytime. Elder Lou didn't say anything and remained silent while looking at Ming Li. Great Elder Gu then said "Let us discuss the formula for the pill." Ming Li's eyes shone with anticipation as he said "Elders, as agreed I will be rewarded with an Item from the holy inventory if I re created the pill. However the formula for the pill would require another reward." The elders expression flickered, they knew that Ming Li would surely ask for another compensation, but he asked it straight away when the pill formula was mentioned. Great Elder Gu replied "What could we give you?" "Another treasure from the Holy Inventory." Ming Li answered quickly. "Preposterous, Items in the Holy Inventory are extremely rare and priceless! We would not dare reward two of them for a single item!" Elder Lou shouted with fury. "Ten Million Soul Ores." Ming Li casually said. Elder Lou again replied in a high tone "Ten Million Soul Ores is too Much!" "I thought you said items from your holy inventory are priceless, so I think ten million isn't even close to priceless" Ming Li said with a smile. Elder Lou went silent for a moment, then breathed deeply. When he was preparing a retort to Ming Li's words, Great Elder Gu said with a smile. "Two Million Soul Ores" Ming Li didn't have a change of expression when he heard the amount, but suddenly Great Elder Gu added "and Fifty Demons grace." Ming Li's expression didn't change but deep inside he almost went crazy and wanted to grab the deal. Luckily he was able to maintain his composure. If not, he might have exposed his intense desire for demon's grace, and would end up getting caught that he exploited the Ten Great Merchants Union of some demon's grace. For some reason, Great Elder Gu became suspicious of the amount of demon's grace Ming Li kept asking and thought that Ming Li might be using it for something else. Also, if he proved that Ming Li tricked them, they would have a reason to corner Ming Li more. Ming Li slowly shook his head as he said "Great Elder Gu, I have no desire to own so many demon's grace. Considering that I will receive an item of my choice from the Holy Inventory and the gift of protection you gave me, Let's settle at Five Million Soul Ores." Elder Lou glanced at Great Elder Gu and saw his serious expression, so decided to keep his thoughts for himself and didn't utter a word, because he would not dare to interrupt Great Elder Gu's decision. Great Elder Gu lips slowly opened as he said "Four Million and you will have a good relationship with the Ten Great Merchant's Union." Ming went silent for a bit since he would also like to have a good relationship with the Ten Great Merchants Union, and it might benefit him more in the long run. Actually he considered the pill formula worth Ten Million Soul Ores, however he had no ability to backup his claim for that price. Earning soul ores while getting on the good side of the Ten Great Merchant's union would be the best result. If Ming Li would offend such a large group, they would surely find a way to eliminate him and simply steal the formula from him in the worst way he could imagine. Ming Li then smiled and said "Alright, Deal." Great Elder Gu eyes flashed with a bit of admiration on Ming Li and nodded as he threw a cube to Ming Li. When Ming Li caught the cube he immediately checked it with his consciousness and found exactly Four Million Soul ores. Ming Li didn't have much of a change in expression, but in his thoughts Ming Li repeatedly though "I am rich again!!" He then pulled out a scroll and made it float towards Great Elder Gu, Great Elder Gu Immediately checked the scroll and his eyes shone with clarity. It was like his clouded thoughts regarding the pill was suddenly cleansed, and he was filled with deep understanding. Great Elder Gu closed the scroll and looked deeply at Ming Li.
