At this thought, Right Panhu slowed his pace. To keep Wei Zhao and White Collar Leader from growing suspicious, he deliberately slowed his steps and did not follow too closely. After all, he now knew Wei Zhao would obtain a first-rate set of material; all Right Panhu had to do was prepare to negotiate with Wei Zhao to trade it away.
"Ha, I only said it in passing. Since the material is given to you, if you wish to exchange it for some benefit to yourself, I won't say a word against it." White Collar Leader smiled. He truly did look after Wei Zhao.
"Hmm... may I really trade it to Right Panhu?" Wei Zhao asked, a little uncertain.
"In fact, you may," White Collar Leader said. "These are some things my master left me. The material in them is not especially important. In short, decide for yourself."
"Thank you, Teacher Bai," Wei Zhao said gratefully.
"Ha, think nothing of it. What matters most is a notebook of alchemist insights I compiled and refined myself. That notebook—you had best not give it away," White Collar Leader said. "I'll bring it to you next time."

"Can she now successfully refine first-grade pills?" White Collar Leader nodded and asked.
"Jingjing can now refine second-grade pills with a ninety percent success rate," Wei Zhao said.
"Ninety percent—that's a very high success rate... What? Did you say second-grade pills?" White Collar Leader's eyes went wide, and he stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief. "You... you're not fooling me? She can really refine second-grade pills with ninety percent certainty?"
"That's right!" Wei Zhao nodded and smiled wryly. "White Collar Leader, would I have any reason to lie to you?"
"Second-grade, ninety percent..." White Collar Leader drew a deep breath. "Truly, heroes emerge from the young..."
In White Collar Leader's heart, there was even a touch of envy and jealousy...
