Chapter 108: Appointment

Shi Mingfeng agreed .

After Su Chen revealed his own trump card, Shi Mingfeng agreed, as expected .

Shi Mingfeng was a Bloodline Nobility Clan member, but the benefits his background gave him were much lower than the benefits his status gave him .

Shi Mingfeng was clear what kind of effect a technique for reaching the Yang Opening Realm without a bloodline would create, but how could that compare with a few hundred million Origin Stones?

He didn’t care much about the future of the human race . His own future, however, he was already clear about – he was going to make a huge amount of money, which he could use to buy a lot of cultivation resources and increase his strength . Breaking into the Spirit Burning Realm was no longer just a far-off dream!

Soon after, Shi Mingfeng and Su Chen reached an agreement .

The Immortal Temple would supply the five hundred million low-grade Origin Stones to buy resources, as well as a few alchemists to help Su Chen refine the medicine . They would also be responsible for distributing the medicine to the major medicine pavilions for Su Chen . This was quite a complicated endeavor, and it required a certain amount of manpower to accomplish .

Because of this, both sides agreed to adjust the distribution of the profits to a sixty-forty distribution .

Su Chen would receive six hundred million, the Immortal Temple four hundred million .

This was a relatively normal split . Su Chen proposing giving the Immortal Temple three hundred million was just a common negotiation tactic . The Immortal Temple was going to have to pay quite a price .

Even so, to get Shi Mingfeng to agree to these conditions, Su Chen had also secretly agreed to give Shi Mingfeng thirty million Origin Stones .

As recompense, Su Chen’s debt with the Immortal Temple was completely taken care of .

In the future, the Immortal Temple could still ask Su Chen to refine medicine for them, but the price would be determined vial by vial .

Since everyone was happy with the negotiations, Shi Mingfeng returned to report to his bosses – actually, even he didn’t have the final say on this matter . All of this was just to express intent; the decision, however, had to be made by his bosses .

Thankfully, the Immortal Temple didn’t go crazy and reject the plan because “it might increase the strength of humans” . They allowed the plan to go through .

However, the Immortal Temple felt that the price on the Three Yangs Medicine was too low and requested that it be increased in price .

They reckoned that, when the technique for reaching the Yang Opening Realm would just be hitting the market, they had all of the Three Yangs Medicine . As such, they could absolutely raise the price and make it higher .

A medicine that only cost five hundred Origin Stones could absolutely be sold for fifty thousand Origin Stones .

They didn’t need to worry about people not buying it . To the Origin Qi Scholars who could afford to consider trying to break into a higher cultivation realm, fifty thousand Origin Stones was nothing .

If it weren’t for the fact that the medicine’s composition and refinement process were both quite simple, they would have even pushed for the price to be five hundred thousand per vial .

However, Su Chen had refused this suggestion and insisted on a price of one thousand five hundred Origin Stones .

The Three Yangs Medicine was related to the strengthening of the entire human race . He could profit from this, but there should be a limit to the amount . If he raised the price of the medicine past normal profits, he would have lost his original intention and would have gone against Shi Kaihuang’s intentions .

He had not forgotten that both the technique for reaching the Blood Boiling Realm and the Yang Opening Realm were both invented by Shi Kaihuang . Shi Kaihuang’s handing of the technique over to him was a test in the first place .

He couldn’t disappoint Shi Kaihuang, and he didn’t want Cloud Bat’s reputation to be damaged because of this .

Money was just a number and was meant to be spent . As long as he had enough to use, that was enough .

Even so, the Immortal Temple didn’t give up and continued to try and convince Su Chen, causing him to grow impatient . In the end, he agreed to raise the price to three thousand Origin Stones per vial and refused to raise the price any further .

Su Chen’s refusal made the Immortal Temple feel extremely regretful . They complained that Su Chen only saw the small profits, and that billions of Origin Stones were slipping through their fingertips .

Even so, Su Chen controlled the way to manufacture the Three Yangs Medicine and the technique for reaching the Yang Opening Realm . The Zhu Clan had demonstrated with their lives that preventing a secret from spreading was much more difficult than guarding a secret . They were forced to give up on their thoughts of forcing things and accepted Su Chen’s requests and pricing .

A plan to make an incredible amount of money was put into motion .

A constant supply of money began to stream from the Immortal Temple into Su Chen’s hands . After buying a massive quantity of ingredients, Su Chen began to refine medicines along with the alchemists with him .

Because Su Chen controlled a portion of the resources in West River Forest, Su Chen could also profit from them quite a bit . However, they had overlooked it because of the immense amounts of profit they were about to haul in .

While refining, Su Chen didn’t forget to continue his own research . He was now keeping track of his expenses when doing research – he listed all of his research expenses as production costs . This was a privilege that belonged to the person who controlled the resources and production method .

Su Chen began to diligently cultivate, do research, and refine medicine . He basically had no time to do anything else . For this reason, the fame that he had built up in Clear River City during that period of time had begun to .

No one knew that a hidden storm was brewing and gathering energy, waiting for the right moment to explode forth and turn the whole world upside down .

——————————————

Today, Su Chen was performing his experiments when Mingshu knocked on his door .

“Young Master, I have an invitation from the Peaceful Flourishing Hall . ”

“Didn’t I tell you to refuse any non-important invitations?” Su Chen replied .

At this point, he was someone who could be considered famous in Clear River City . He could cause the city to tremble with just a stomp of his foot . Even though he hadn’t done so in the past few days, his prestige wouldn’t disappear that quickly .

“This one might not be so easy to refuse,” Mingshu replied .

“Oh?” Su Chen was quite interested . He opened the door and let Mingshu in . “What’s the situation?”

Mingshu said, “Hasn’t Young Master been looking for Seedless Black Lotus? West River Forest doesn’t produce it, so we must obtain it from the west . The Peaceful Flourishing Hall has the best trade routes with the west . ”

“So let the Peaceful Flourishing Hall buy it for me . Why do I need to personally appear?”

“A natural disaster wreaked havoc a few years ago in the west, greatly decreasing the production of the Seedless Black Lotus and causing its price to skyrocket . There’s still a bunch of people who are trying desperately to obtain some . The Boss Zhou of the Peaceful Flourishing Hall treats it as a rare commodity and isn’t willing to sell it easily . However, Boss Zhou has always wanted to make your acquaintance . When I went looking for him to buy some of the Seedless Black Lotus, Boss Zhou proposed a meeting with you, and he even sent out a special invitation today . If you don’t appear in person, they might not sell these ingredients to us . ”

Su Chen frowned when he heard this .

The Seedless Black Lotus was quite a rare ingredient that could activate a person’s bloodline power .

Su Chen’s research of the Primordial Blood Medicine had advanced another step, and he needed a large amount of Seedless Black Lotus . He didn’t want to interrupt his progress at this point .

When he thought of this, Su Chen said, “If that’s the case, then let’s make a trip . Where’s the meeting going to be held?”

“Tomorrow at noon at the Soaring Pavilion,” Mingshu replied .
