Cooperation
Only Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan went to the Medicine Gang this time. Since they were both alchemists, they would let their alchemist skills speak for themselves.
The Medicine Gang's location was far from the New Student Area, but Xiao Yu and his companion sped through the woods on both sides and arrived at the Medicine Gang's territory half an hour later.
Looking at the luxurious and spacious accommodations of the Medicine Gang, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, "The profession of alchemist is truly sought after. Only the Medicine Gang of the Inner Academy could probably afford such luxurious accommodations."
Xiao Yu nodded and smiled, "That's right, the Medicine Gang probably has quite a bit of Fire Energy. We'll take some back as gifts this time."
Xiao Yan laughed out loud, "You don't mean you're going to rob the Medicine Gang, do you?"
"What do you mean? The Medicine Gang called the two of us over here this time, naturally wanting to discuss terms. Our Pan Men has both strength and alchemists. If the Medicine Gang is smart enough, negotiation is naturally necessary!" Xiao Yu chuckled.
As they were talking, a group of young men walked out of the courtyard where the Medicine Gang was located. They were all wearing alchemist robes, and the one in the lead was Han Xian. The four shimmering silver patterns on his alchemist robe were very obvious!
As Han Xian and the others got closer, they saw that Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan were also wearing alchemist robes. Xiao Yu's ancient Medicine Cauldron on his chest had five silver patterns, while Xiao Yan had only one less than Xiao Yu!
Fifth-grade Alchemist and Fourth-grade Alchemist!
The nine ripples made the approaching members of the Medicine Gang tremble. Most of them were only Second-grade Alchemist Medicine Gang, and Third-grade Alchemist were considered to be in the upper echelons of the Medicine Gang.
Among the Medicine Gang, only their leader Han Xian, is Fourth-grade Alchemist. Normally, Fourth-grade Alchemist Fourth-grade Alchemist highly respected, especially such a young one.
If Han Xian were to go to any force in the Black Corner Region, he would receive the treatment of a Dou Wang) level expert. In some respects, the treatment of Fourth-grade Alchemist is even better than that of Dou Wang.
At least within the Inner Academy, the Medicine Gang received very good treatment, and Han Xian was basically treated like an elder.
Han Xian Han Xian blankly at the badges on Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan's chests. This was truly the first time he had ever seen such young fourth- and Fifth-grade Alchemist!
"Please come in, leaders of the Pan Men!" Han Xian led Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan into the Medicine Gang.
Sitting in the spacious and luxurious hall, Han Xian looked at Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan sitting opposite him and said with a faint smile, "I heard that you two brothers were selling pills in the Inner Academy yesterday?"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "That's right. It seems that the Inner Academy doesn't have any rules prohibiting other forces besides the Medicine Gang from selling pills, right?"
Han Xian waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, there is naturally no such rule in the Inner Academy, and our Medicine Gang would never do anything to prevent others from buying medicine. Leader Xiao Yan, please rest assured!"
"Oh? So, does that mean the Medicine Gang supports our Pan Men in selling pills?" Xiao Yu, sitting next to him, raised an eyebrow and said with a light laugh.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the many members of the Medicine Gang standing behind Han Xian felt somewhat dissatisfied, but they dared not show it.
Han Xian looked at Xiao Yu and smiled, "Brother Xiao Yu, rest assured, your Pan Men sells pills, and our Medicine Gang will naturally not stop you. Of course, our Medicine Gang will not harm our own interests either. That's why we invited you two here today to resolve this matter!"
Upon hearing Han Xian's words, the people behind him frowned slightly, but said nothing. The Medicine Gang didn't have the strength to negotiate with the Pan Men at the moment.
A Fifth-grade Alchemist and a Fourth-grade Alchemist are more than enough to crush everyone in their Medicine Gang.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and looked at Han Xian, asking, "How do you intend to resolve this matter?"
Xiao Yu also looked at Han Xian with great interest. This guy must have brought the two of them here at first because he was afraid of his strength, and of course, he was also surprised to hear that the two of them were also alchemists.
However, Han Xian probably didn't expect that Xiao Yu and the other two's alchemy skills were not those of ordinary second or third-grade alchemists, but rather fourth or Fifth-grade Alchemist.
Han Xian paused for a moment, then slowly uttered two words: "Cooperation!"
"Cooperation?" Xiao Yan looked at Han Xian with some surprise.
Han Xian nodded and said, "That's right, it's about cooperation. To be honest, when I first invited you here, cooperation was just something I was considering. But now that I've seen your expertise in alchemy, I'm truly committed to the cooperation!"
"How do we cooperate?" Xiao Yu asked Han Xian smile.
"The Medicine Gang will still sell pills, but we can also refine the three types of pills Pan Men your Pan Men makes. We will Medicine Gang the Medicine Gang materials, and you will provide the prescriptions. We will split the total profits 50/50 with Medicine Gang. How about that?" Han Xian said.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly upon hearing Han Xian's words, but did not reply.
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's split the profits 70/30. We get 70%, you get 30%, and everything else remains the same!"
A hot-tempered young man behind Han Xian immediately retorted angrily, "Don't push your luck, Pan Men! The herbs, the refining, the sales—all of these ultimately go through our Medicine Gang. You, Pan Men, want to take 70% of the profits with just three prescriptions? That's absolutely impossible!"
Han Xian nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Although the Medicine Gang has huge profits, the Inner Academy will take 20% of our profits as tax in order to balance the circulation of Fire Energy. If 70% is given to the Pan Men, our Medicine Gang will have no Fire Energy to circulate at all!"
"A 20% tax? Is that high?" Xiao Yan asked the members of the Medicine Gang with some surprise.
Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. After taxes are deducted from the total profit, we'll split it 60/40. The Pan Men people will help you collect the medicinal herbs and dig them up in the deep mountains behind the mountain."
Just as the hot-tempered youth was about to lash out, Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Dou Wang aura erupted. The air in the living room seemed to freeze, causing everyone's faces to turn red and making it difficult for them to breathe.
"Zhao Yan, don't be rude!" Han Xian's expression changed drastically, and he said coldly.
Xiao Yu said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Three prescriptions might not be worth that much money, but don't forget, since we have the prescriptions for these three kinds of pills, we must have other prescriptions as well. So your Medicine Gang isn't at a disadvantage!"
"If you disagree, then let's see who has the stronger foundation, your Medicine Gang or my Pan Men's methods!"
Xiao Yu's indifferent words made the members of the Medicine Gang tense up. Han Xian quickly added, "Sixty-four split, our Medicine Gang gets sixty percent, how about that?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Han Xian and said, "Since we've cooperated, we'll naturally treat you unfairly; the Fire Energy you receive will definitely not be less than what you got before!"
With that, Xiao Yu waved his hand, and a cyan scroll shot towards Han Xian.
