Chapter 2234
Dacre did not know the reason for Yoan’s visit.
Yoan did not try to hide anything and got right to the point. “Indeed. I do have a request.”
“Sect Elder Yoan, you’re being too polite. Just tell me whatever you need.”
Yoan said, “The main reason I’m here at Southwood’s Landolfs’ Mansion is to request a Helios Pill from you.”
Dacre’s smile instantly froze upon hearing that. The rest of the Landolf family began conversing quietly.
With a troubled face, Dacre said, “Sect Elder Yoan, in all honesty, the Helios Pills that my ancestor left behind a thousand years
ago are all gone.”
It was obvious to Yoan that the Landolfs were giving an excuse.
“Mr. Landolf, I’m not asking for it for free. Just let me know what the Landolf family needs, and I’ll find a way to provide it.”
Yoan understood that without paying a hefty price, he would not be able to obtain the Helios Pill today.
After hearing that, Dacre asked, “Sect Elder Yoan, even though the Helios Pill is amazing, it won’t be much use to you, right?”
Yoan pointed at James and said, “To be honest, I’m requesting it for my disciple. His name is James Caden. He also pursues the
path of body refinement. The Helios Pill is a body
refinement pill. After consuming it, one’s physical strength will improve drastically. That’s why we’ve come to ask for the pill.”
“Sect Elder Yoan, the Helios Pill is extremely potent. A typical body cannot withstand the Helios Pill’s overwhelming Yang
Energy.”
James had been silent because everyone present was a powerhouse. He was not qualified to speak.
Yoan smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about that, Mr. Landolf.”
“Sect Elder Yoan, this is a big deal. I can’t make the final decision. Please stay at the Landolfs’ Mansion for the time being. I’ll
have to gather the family elders for a discussion on this.”
“Alright.” Yoan nodded.
“Someone, please bring Sect Elder Yoan somewhere to rest.”
Soon after, several beautiful women walked over and led Yoan and James to the backyard.
“Sir, will the Landolf family actually give us the Helios Pill?” James asked in an annex in the backyard.
Yoan was unsure as well. He said, “I don’t know either, but they probably will. From my understanding, even though the Landolf
family specializes in body refinement, they have gradually abandoned the path of body refinement over the last millennium
because it is too difficult to cultivate. Cultivating a physical body requires a lot of work and extensive training.
An average cultivator would not be able to withstand the pain from body refinement.
“The Landolf family’s Helios Pill is of little use to the family’s younger generation. Aside from that, I’ll give them something of
equal value in return.
“I believe the Landolf family is wise enough to make the right decision.”
After hearing that, James started to be hopeful. He was looking forward to the Landolf
family’s Helios Pill.
The fact that his master brought him here suggested that the Helios Pill was truly amazing and could significantly increase his
physical strength.
The two waited patiently in the room.
While they waited, night fell.
Knock, knock, knock.
During the night, there was a knocking on the door.
James stood up to open the door. He discovered that the person knocking was the head of the Landolf family, Dacre. James
addressed him with a respectful expression, “Mr. Landolf.”
Dacre walked in with a grin. “Sect Elder Yoan.”
Yoan was seated on a chair and did not get up. “How did the discussion go?” he asked.
Dacre said merrily, “We’ve reached a decision. I can give you the last Helios Pill. However, the Landolf family needs some items
in return.”
Yoan asked, “What do you
need?”
Dacre walked over, pulled out a list, and handed it to Yoan. He said, “Everything the Landolf family requires is on this list.”
Yoan accepted the list and took a glance. His facial muscle twitched slightly in an instant. He said, “Mr. Landolf. You’re asking for
too much.”
With a troubled look, Dacre said, “Sect Elder Yoan, there’s only one Helios Pill left. The Landolf family also doesn’t want to use it
as a means of exchange. However, you came to see us in
person. It would be impudent if we continue to keep it to ourselves.”
“Alright. I accept,” said Yoan.
Despite the fact that the Landolf family was requesting a lot of things, including some real treasures, he would go out of his way
for James, the Grand Tournament, and his own reputation.
