The Special Warfare Military Region in Jiangnan City.
Upon learning that Zhang Yang had arrived, Qi Dalei rushed out from inside.
The flush on his face indicated how excited Qi Dalei was at this moment.
"Zhang Yang, is what you said on the phone true?" Qi Dalei asked.
"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" Zhang Yang smiled noncommittally.
"Hahaha, that's wonderful, quick, please come in." Qi Dalei laughed heartily and quickly invited Zhang Yang into the military region.
Soon.
Qi Dalei led Zhang Yang to the Dragon Group's camp.
Zhang Yang looked at the golden stone sculpture at the entrance.
It bore the words "Dragon Group Second Team," which made him feel curious.
"Captain Qi, besides you, is there a Dragon Group First Team or Third Team in Jiangnan City?"
"No, the Dragon Group's formations are divided by province. Jiangnan City happens to be the Second Team."
"However, the ranking of these numbers changes every year..." Qi Dalei smiled.
He explained half of it and then stopped.
This made Zhang Yang's curiosity piqued. He hated two types of people in his life.
One was those who spoke only half the story, and the other was...
Upon entering the Dragon Group camp, Qi Dalei brought Zhang Yang to a reception room.
At this moment.
An old man in military uniform with graying hair was already waiting in the reception room.
Seeing Zhang Yang arrive, the old man immediately cast a curious gaze at him.
"Commander Fang, this is the Zhang Yang I mentioned to you."
"Zhang Yang, this is Commander Fang Zheng of the Jiangnan Military Region, and also the highest leader of the Dragon Group in Jiangnan City."
"..."
After Qi Dalei's introduction, Zhang Yang respectfully greeted Fang Zheng and then sat down.
"I heard that Young Friend Zhang found the Alchemy Grandmaster in the old residential area?" Fang Zheng asked.
As a soldier, he never liked beating around the bush.
Zhang Yang first nodded, then shook his head.
"Actually, it wasn't that I found him; it was more like he found me."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng and Qi Dalei exchanged glances.
In their minds, a scene naturally unfolded.
It seemed that this Alchemy Grandmaster had known all along that the Dragon Group was looking for him.
He just didn't want to be disturbed, which was why he sent Zhang Yang over.
"Young Friend Zhang, what is your purpose for coming this time?" Fang Zheng asked.
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment.
He took out a jade bottle from his embrace, containing forty Guiyuan Pills.
"Commander Fang, these are the pills refined by that Alchemy Grandmaster, Guiyuan Pills."
"He guessed your purpose for looking for him, so he refined forty pills overnight and asked me to bring them to the Dragon Group."
"He also said that he doesn't wish for you to look for him anymore."
What!
Refined forty Guiyuan Pills overnight!
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng and Qi Dalei were both stunned!
"Forty pills refined in one night! Has this Alchemy Grandmaster reached that realm?"
Their exclamations surprised Zhang Yang.
"Is refining forty pills in one night difficult?"
Cough cough~
Qi Dalei coughed twice to explain Zhang Yang's ignorance.
"Zhang Yang, although your medical skills are good, you are still an amateur when it comes to alchemy."
"These Guiyuan Pills are of excellent quality. Even with the Grandmaster's skillful hands, he could at most refine thirty pills in one night."
"And you say he refined forty overnight, which means he is about to break through to that realm."
Fang Zheng also looked solemn and serious.
"Young Friend Zhang, please tell us the whereabouts of this Alchemy Grandmaster. We wish to visit him personally."
Seeing their reactions, Zhang Yang felt a bit of a headache.
Refining twenty Guiyuan Pills in one night was already so impressive?
If he had known this, he wouldn't have said it like that.
He clearly remembered that when he refined Guiyuan Pills, he had refined over eighty in one night.
"Commander Fang, I'm afraid I cannot fulfill your request. I cannot introduce you."
"Before I came, the Alchemy Grandmaster said that he did not want any connection with the secular world," Zhang Yang said, shaking his head.
"Alas..." Fang Zheng sighed.
He had also guessed it; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have sent Zhang Yang.
"Then please convey our gratitude, Young Friend Zhang, and thank him for the Guiyuan Pills."
Gift?
Zhang Yang twitched his lips and said sheepishly.
"Commander Fang, you might have misunderstood. These pills are not a gift to you, but for sale to you..."
"I remember Captain Qi mentioning last time that it was one hundred million per pill?"
Zhang Yang tentatively looked at Qi Dalei.
Qi Dalei suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
"Yes, yes, I did say that. We'll buy these pills."
Fang Zheng felt something was strange.
However, given the efficacy of Guiyuan Pills, the price was not expensive.
After all, Guiyuan Pills were very effective for their Dragon Group members.
"Xiao Qi, then instruct someone to transfer the money to Zhang Yang," Fang Zheng said.
"Okay."
"..."
Seeing that they were about to transfer the money, Zhang Yang felt a headache again.
Were the people of the Dragon Group all so simple and crude in their actions?
They couldn't even let him finish speaking.
Zhang Yang quickly stopped them and took out a contract stamped with the official seal of the Han Corporation.
"Captain Qi, please wait a moment. Actually, the Alchemy Grandmaster had given instructions."
"The payment for these Guiyuan Pills should be transferred in two installments. One part directly to my card, for me to give to him."
"The other part of the money should be transferred directly to the Han Corporation's account..."
Hmm?
"Han Corporation?"
Fang Zheng and Qi Dalei were confused. Transferring to Zhang Yang was understandable.
But what was the relationship between the Han Corporation and the Alchemy Grandmaster?
Zhang Yang rubbed his nose and gave a sheepish smile.
"Actually, the story behind this is a bit long. Do you want to hear it?"
Seeing them nod, Zhang Yang continued to weave...
No, to continue speaking.
"Actually, this Alchemy Grandmaster owed a favor to Han Corporation's CEO, Han Xiyao, years ago."
"He was originally struggling with how to repay this kindness."
"Coincidentally, he met you all, who were searching for him everywhere."
"Coincidentally, he knows me, and coincidentally, he knows I know people in the Dragon Group."
"Coincidentally, you wanted to buy pills, and coincidentally, he wanted to repay the favor he owed Han Xiyao."
"And then, coincidentally, he asked me to give half of the money from selling the pills to Han Xiyao..."
This~
Zhang Yang's string of "coincidences" almost confused Qi Dalei and Fang Zheng.
"Is that how it happened?" they asked suspiciously.
"Of course, it's just such a coincidence. Or do you think I refined these pills?" Zhang Yang's eyes widened.
"You refined them? How is that possible?" Qi Dalei and Fang Zheng both shook their heads.
Although what happened today was a bit absurd, the pills Zhang Yang produced were real.
Since the Alchemy Grandmaster had this intention, they would do him a favor.
Perhaps, if they needed pills in the future, they could still use Zhang Yang to convey a message to that old man.
"I understand. Zhang Yang, wait for me here." Qi Dalei said, taking the contract to leave.
"Wait." Zhang Yang quickly called out to stop him.
"What is it? Are there any more coincidental stories left untold?" Qi Dalei asked.
"Not really, but the Alchemy Grandmaster instructed that the money to be transferred to Han Corporation should preferably be transferred three days later in the afternoon," Zhang Yang reminded him.
Qi Dalei was very suspicious but did as Zhang Yang said.
However, Fang Zheng seemed to be deep in thought.
...
Half an hour later.
Zhang Yang left the Special Warfare Military Region, safe and sound.
However.
In the Special Warfare Military Region, Fang Zheng and Qi Dalei sat together, discussing.
"Xiao Qi, do you think there's a possibility..."
