34 How to offend people 1 (1/2)

Tie Nse had sent a secret message for Old Iba to meet him in Hammer city, the strong hold of the Hammer gate, a gate under the control of the jade phoenix alliance. Tie Nse sat in a small room drinking tea, when a familiar figure appeared inside. Seeing Old Iba's form, Tie Nse locked the space to prevent any sound from getting out.

”You sure took your time.” Tie Nse said.

”You sure know how to choose a place. The jade phoenix alliance are keeping an eye out for you.” old Iba said, taking a seat before Tie Nse.

”Yes, I heard you told them about the heavenly tribulation. You sure have guts. You still think you are qualified to see him? What if you give out his location to them again?”

”Lady Mi appeared on her own when you left. I didn't call her.” Old Iba snorted.

”But you called those old men from my alliance!” Tie Nse frowned.

”Are you more angry that lady Mi knows about your disciple's odd tribulation or that those old men from your alliance were close to catching you?” Old Iba guessed the latter. This old thing was more worried about getting caught and forced back to the heaven alliance than how popular his disciple has become.

”Do you want to know about the ingredients for the pill or not?” Old Iba asked.

”What do you need?” Tie Nse asked and Old In a handed him jade slip. Old Iba expected Tie Nse to gasp as he looked at the list, but was very disappointed when he maintained his calm.

”The Taphen root. It will act as a net to triple the effects of the tribulation. I figured you would still think if a way to go all out.” Tie Nse said.

”You did say if possible. Let's be clear. The success of this pill is only twenty percent. The ingredients are precious. Even if we are still able to find them, the success rate is still bellow twenty percent.”

”I see.” Tie Nse said solemnly.

”You want to use the fragment of a saint level artefact to cause an eternity effect. Even if the tribulation could not be held for eternity, it should be able to make it stay longer than it wants to.” Tie Nse said.

”You could just borrow your alliance's saint level artefact. That would solve the problem.” Old Iba said.

”I have no intention of going to those old men. What about phoenix tears?” Tie Nse asked.
