The Brilliant Fighting Master - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: A Thirty-Seventy Split

The Medicine Elder was the most excited, but not just because of the effect of the Revival Elixir . There was something more important .

"Leave me and Jiang Chen alone for a moment," the Medicine Elder said .

It took Xiao Xiao some time to realize the elder was speaking to the two staff of the chamber of commerce and her . She left the room in low spirits .

The steward and Wen Meng looked at each other . They didn't dare go against the Medicine Elder's wishes . They closed the door when they walked out of the room .

Meng Hao was nervous to see this . He didn't know what the Medicine Elder was up to .

"What's your name?" the Medicine Elder asked .

"Jiang Chen . "

"Did you refine these Revival Elixirs?"

"Yes . I'm the only one who knows the recipe . " Jiang Chen roughly knew what the elder was going to say, so he told him directly even before he asked .

The Medicine Elder tried to hold his excitement after the confirmation . He sat down opposite of Jiang Chen .

He tried to stay calm . Then he said slowly, "Jiang Chen, the Revival Elixir has a brilliant recovery effect . What's more, it takes effect quickly . This kind of panacea will get popular in the Fire Field . If you can share the recipe with the school, you'll be rewarded handsomely . "

Once the Revival Elixir went into the market, it surely would become a life-saving panacea that everyone wanted .

Most importantly, Jiang Chen was the only one who knew the recipe .

Once the Natural Law School got ahold of the recipe, it would greatly benefit . Even its status in the Fire Field would be improved .

So far, so good . For the moment he was satisfied with the communication between the elder and him .

"How much will the school pay me?" Jiang Chen had already thought about it . His final decision would depend on the school's attitude .

"What do you want?" the Medicine Elder said .

"Elder, we both know the Revival Elixir will sweep across the Fire Field . Even if you promise me billions of contributions or rose gold coins, I'm sure I'll be able to earn this amount in a few years . Then, the Natural Law School can keep selling it for decades or even hundreds of years," Jiang Chen said .

The Medicine Elder knew he was talking to a smart guy .

"Exactly . Do you mean you want to get a part of the sale?" the Medicine Elder said .

"Yes . I want thirty percent . My offer is in good faith, as I'm a member of the school," Jiang Chen said .

The Medicine Elder frowned upon it . Thirty percent sounded too small . It didn't seem very fair for Jiang Chen .

But in fact, it wasn't that simple . The world of business was complicated .

For example, if Jiang Chen didn't give the panaceas to the school, he would have to rely totally on himself .

However, even if he kept refining without rest, he could, at most, refine about a thousand panaceas a day .

This was too few to even supply the disciples of the Natural Law School, let alone to sell them among the whole Fire Field .

Even if he hired helpers, he would have to worry about whether they would memorize the recipe in secret, and there would be problems with the distributional channel .

With the influence and the fame of the Natural Law School, the panaceas could be sold to all parts of the Fire Field easily . But if Jiang Chen did it by himself, the process would be much more complicated and there would be potential risks .

Although at the moment Jiang Chen only asked for thirty percent, he would make a great fortune in a few years without having to sort out the problems he was concerned about .

Jiang Chen's request certainly wasn't too much . After all, the Revival Elixir was an unexpected present for the Natural Law School .

The Medicine Elder had even expected that Jiang Chen would ask for a fifty-fifty split, but he only asked for thirty percent and said it was in good faith . Of course the Medicine Elder wouldn't bargain more .

"In addition, I've another small request . I hope the Natural Law School could ensure my family's safety . "

"The disciples' families are always under our protection . " The Medicine Elder didn't understand why he had made this request .

"I mean, I hope the school could protect my family even if disciples of the Natural Law School attack them . This doesn't have to be a permanent protection . It will be fine if you can guarantee it for ten years . "

"No problem . "

This wasn't an excessive request at all, so the elder agreed without hesitation .

"But you have to make sure you are the only one who has the recipe!"

"Of course," Jiang Chen said .

If this were a buyout, the Medicine Elder would definitely verify whether he was really the only one with the recipe . But since this was a thirty-seventy split, he could ease up .

"There is one more thing…"

"One more?" the Medicine Elder was surprised .

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "What we've been talking about is between the school and me . But now I want to talk about us . "

"Us?" the Medicine Elder didn't understand what he meant .

"The Medicine Elder is a grand supreme elder, and you're also one of those few who are not supporting Ning Haotian . So I hope, Elder, that you could support me," Jiang Chen said .

Even Meng Hao was shocked by Jiang Chen's words .

The Medicine Elder kept silent for a while and then burst into smiles . He said, "Are you the Jiang Chen who is an enemy of the Black Dragon City?"

"Exactly . "

"I'm talking with you on behalf of the school, but you want my support for the leader's election . Don't you think that's unfair?" the elder said .

"Elder, you think this panacea is gorgeous . But it's only a class-two . Its forty or fifty percent recovery ability only applies to a guy in the middle stage of the Gathering Yuan State . "

Then Jiang Chen stood up, placing both of his hands on the table, and said seriously, "What if I tell you I have panaceas for the Mental Wander State with a recovery ability of 40% and 50%, or even for the Reaching Heaven State?!"

The Medicine Elder was visibly shocked .

He stood up immediately and grasped Jiang Chen's arm tightly . He said excitedly, "Are you serious?"

"If I was lying, I wouldn't get your support, would I?" Jiang Chen smiled .

The Medicine Elder believed him and sat down again .

A school was different from a dynasty . A change in leadership normally wouldn't bring a reign of terror .

However, it could influence one's status in the school greatly .

The Medicine Elder was responsible for affairs regarding panaceas, which gave him an indispensable importance in the school . As a result, he didn't have to support Ning Haotian in order to maintain his status . It was all right for him to stay neutral .

But, it was impossible for him to support Jiang Chen just because of the Revival Elixir .

However, what Jiang Chen had said to him was really a great shock .

"Jiang Chen, you haven't even made it onto the Talent List . Neither are you a key disciple . It's still too early to think about leadership succession . Let's talk about it when you get onto the Talent List . What do you think?

"Now, let's settle the deal of the Revival Elixir first . "

Jiang Chen knew the elder had actually agreed, but the request had come so suddenly that he preferred to take it with a grain of salt .

Once he became a key disciple, the Medicine Elder would be of great help to him .

"That's all right . But, elder, today I am selling three kinds of panaceas . The other two kinds are no worse than the Revival Elixir," Jiang Chen smiled .

"Are you serious?!"

The Medicine Elder was shocked again . He hurried to open the other two boxes .

With Jiang Chen's introduction, the Medicine Elder showed a great interest in the Black Yuan Elixir and the Sky Yuan Elixir .

He was especially interested in the Sky Yuan Elixir . An elixir that could purify the disciples' genuine yuan? That would mean a lot to the Natural Law School!

"If there is no problem, I want a thirty-seventy split for these as well, just like the business of the Revival Elixir," Jiang Chen said .

"Fine!" the Medicine Elder agreed immediately, afraid that Jiang Chen would change his mind .

Then the elder took each of the panaceas and left to report to the leader of the school .

"Jiang Chen, why did you only ask for a thirty-seventy split? I think they would have even accepted a forty-sixty or fifty-fifty split," Meng Hao said .

"If my family, the Southwind Ridge, were on an equal footing with the Natural Law School, it would be the Natural Law School who gets the thirty percent," Jiang Chen smiled .

Meng Hao crashed into realization . At the same time, it occurred to him that despite Jiang Chen's wisdom and sophistication, he was actually younger than himself .

Comparisons were unpleasant .
