    “Thirty percent of the profits!?” Feng Jianzhong was stunned. He had initially regarded the young man before him as a naive fledgling who understood nothing, but now, no matter how he looked at this fellow, he appeared to be a cunning little fox!

     

    Thirty percent of the profits was absolutely unacceptable.

     

    Three million gold coins were difficult for him to accept, but this thirty percent of profits would be equivalent to carving a piece of flesh from his body!

     

    One must understand that their World Aplenty Hall did not merely conduct business within the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty. If all the branches across the continent were combined, they numbered at least in the tens of thousands.

     

    The Feng Family’s ability to become the wealthiest Family was absolutely not without reason.

     

    If each branch generated a thousand gold coins in profit daily, that would bring the Feng Family tens of millions of gold coins in wealth each day.

     

    Tens of millions of gold coins!

     

    What an astonishing figure this represented!

     

    Yet this was merely the Feng Family’s daily income.

     

    One could imagine what tremendous wealth the Feng Family had accumulated over the long years.

     

    Regarding the effects of the Clear Mind Pill, Feng Jianzhong could easily envision that once it was promoted and sold, the profits would absolutely make countless Forces green with envy!

     

    But this young man had the audacity to demand thirty percent of the profits right from the start!

     

    Perhaps initially, this thirty percent of profits would not carry the weight of three million gold coins, but Pills that could treat mental ailments had an unlimited market, particularly targeting the high-end profession of Alchemy Masters!

     

    Even if their World Aplenty Hall priced this Clear Mind Pill at a level that countless ordinary people could never reach, they would not worry about finding buyers!

     

    The profession of Alchemy Master desperately needed such Pills, and for some High Grade Alchemy Masters, money was merely a string of numbers.

     

    One could imagine that countless Alchemy Masters, as well as many Forces seeking to curry favour with Alchemy Masters, would frantically compete to purchase them.

     

    What made it even more valuable was that the market for Clear Mind Pills required no concern about being replaced, at least not in the short term!

     

    Rather than diminishing in popularity over time, it would actually attract more and more secluded Alchemy Masters who would learn of this news and come to purchase them as time passed!

     

    “What you are demanding is somewhat excessive…” Feng Jianzhong pondered briefly before speaking with some hesitation. In his words, his gaze remained fixed intently on Qin Yichen, fearing that any expression of dissatisfaction might appear on the latter’s face.

     

    If negotiations collapsed and the latter refused to sell this Pill Formula to them, they would not only lose this market segment, but World Aplenty Hall’s Pill market share would certainly suffer tremendous impact if this was sold elsewhere.

     

    Regarding Feng Jianzhong’s hesitation, Qin Yichen did not respond. Instead, he sat down in a nearby chair and began tapping his fingers leisurely on the table in a rhythmic pattern.

     

    *Tap! Tap!*

     

    These subtle sounds seemed to control Feng Jianzhong’s very Soul, with each tap causing his heartbeat to follow this rhythm.

     

    *Haaa…* Seeing Qin Yichen’s demeanour, Feng Jianzhong could not help but sigh softly. It appeared that the latter had determined he could not refuse the Clear Mind Pill Formula. At this moment, the latter had completely seized the initiative.

     

    Although paying out thirty percent of profits would still be profitable for World Aplenty Hall, as a businessman, if he could not maximise profits, he would not deserve to occupy the position of World Aplenty Hall Manager!

     

    Finally, a flash of determination appeared in Feng Jianzhong’s eyes. As if steeling his resolve, he slapped his palm and spoke with obvious pain. “How about this, our World Aplenty Hall will take another step back! I cannot accept thirty percent of profits. How about this instead: our World Aplenty Hall will pay one million gold coins to purchase your Pill Formula!”

     

    “You surely understand that selling merchandise requires advertising, maintaining secrecy during production, and so forth. The expenses are not a small sum!”

     

    After these words concluded, Feng Jianzhong’s heart tightened. He stared intently at Qin Yichen, hoping to detect a trace of interest on the latter’s face.

     

    After all, one million gold coins was no small amount. Even within Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, some First-Tier Forces would find it extremely difficult to produce such a sum.

     

    For ordinary people, this represented wealth that was utterly unimaginable and beyond their wildest dreams!

     

    However, Feng Jianzhong was destined for disappointment. Regarding his proposal, Qin Yichen showed not the slightest trace of interest. Instead, displeasure appeared on his countenance.

     

    “Manager Feng, if that is the case, then Qin shall not impose further…” Qin Yichen shook his head and rose from his chair.

     

    Seeing Qin Yichen’s actions, Feng Jianzhong’s expression became quite unsightly, and Grandmaster Lan Wen also shook his head silently.

     

    Just as Qin Yichen was about to step out, an utterly pained voice finally emerged through Feng Jianzhong’s gritted teeth.

     

    “One million gold coins, plus ten percent of the profits!”

     

    *Siii…* Upon hearing these words, Grandmaster Lan Wen’s expression finally showed some shock. One must understand that under Feng Jianzhong’s management, regardless of what was being acquired, he had never promised to share profits!

     

    Although his assessment of the Clear Mind Pill Formula was also extremely high, he had never imagined that Feng Jianzhong, as the Manager of the Feng Family’s World Aplenty Hall, infamous for his penny-pinching ways, would actually be willing to offer ten percent of the profits!

     

    At Feng Jianzhong’s pained words, Qin Yichen’s footsteps also halted. Subsequently, he slowly turned around. What was surprising was that under such tremendous temptation, his face showed not the slightest trace of joy, only complete indifference. Indeed, his slightly furrowed brow even contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

     

    “Let it be as you have said then.” Qin Yichen directly tossed out a Pill Formula and spoke.

     

    “Wait, careful!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s action, Feng Jianzhong hurriedly grasped this Pill Formula, treating it as if it were porcelain that would shatter upon dropping, carefully cradling it in his palm.

     

    Seeing how readily the other party agreed, Feng Jianzhong did not dawdle. He directly arranged for someone to bring a golden card, then handed it to Qin Yichen, saying: “This is our Feng Family’s gold card, containing one million gold coins! As long as you possess this card, regardless of where you make purchases, as long as they fall under our Feng Family’s enterprises, you can enjoy a ten percent discount!”

     

    Qin Yichen nodded and accepted this gold card that countless Nobles of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty desired to possess, casually tossing it into his ring.

     

    Seeing Qin Yichen accept the gold card, only then did Feng Jianzhong eagerly examine the Pill Formula.

     

    The Formula not only detailed the quantities of materials but even clearly described the heat control and precautions for each step of refinement. However, after reading it completely, Feng Jianzhong’s expression became somewhat grave.

     

    “Excuse me, is this truly the Pill Formula for the Clear Mind Pill?”

     

    After hesitating for a moment, Feng Jianzhong could not help but ask. “In this Pill Formula, several medicinal herbs conflict with each other and simply cannot be condensed together!”
