Jia Lie Bi's Sincerity: Offering a Xuan-Tier Technique, Mr. Yao of Ten-Thousand Medicine Hall

"Master Wang Teng." Jia Lie Bi arrived with a smile on his face, carrying a wooden box in his hands.

"Patriarch Jia Lie." Wang Teng looked at him.

Jia Lie Bi said, "These past few days, thanks to Master Wang Teng's assistance, not only has the Jia Lie Clan avoided defeat, we have risen to an even greater height. The Jia Lie Clan has no way to repay such a favor."

He took out a card. "There are one hundred thousand gold coins in here. I hope Master Wang Teng will accept it."

Before Wang Teng could speak, he continued, "Master Wang Teng, I understand your teacher's rules, but the Jia Lie Clan has limited funds on hand and cannot produce too many gold coins at once, so..."

He opened the wooden box, revealing a scroll inside.

"Master Wang Teng, this is the high-grade Xuan-tier technique, the Wind Scroll Technique, which I bought from the Mittel Auction House some time ago. I hope it can replace part of the gold payment." Jia Lie Bi spoke sincerely.

Giving away a high-grade Xuan-tier technique he had only recently acquired was not particularly painful. The clan had already copied it down, and its members could cultivate it in the future.

Jia Lie Bi mainly wanted to demonstrate the clan's attitude.

Although the Jia Lie Clan had just won two marketplaces from the Xiao Clan and held a large supply of Blood Surge Pills, the money they owed the Oba Clan and the Li Clan was also very real.

Using gold coins as payment, the Jia Lie Clan truly could not gather enough in such a short time.

"Fine. I'll explain it to my teacher." Wang Teng calmly accepted the items.

Jia Lie Bi smiled. "Master Wang Teng, after you return to South Star City, will you still be refining pills?"

Wang Teng glanced at him. "You want to buy pills and bring them back to Wu Tan City to sell?"

"Nothing can escape Master Wang Teng." Jia Lie Bi nodded.

"There is a Wang Teng's Pill Shop in South Star City. It is my family's shop. In the future, when you buy from us, the price will be an additional thirty percent over the cost of ingredients," Wang Teng said.

The ingredients for a Blood Surge Pill cost two thousand gold coins. Adding thirty percent meant paying an extra six hundred gold coins, while one batch of ingredients could produce eight pills.

Though the trip back and forth would cost time, there was still profit to be made. Most importantly, the Blood Surge Pill's reputation had already spread.

As long as the marketplace had a steady supply of goods, it could maintain its popularity.

With people in the marketplace, there would be no worry about other goods not selling.

"Thank you, Master Wang Teng." Jia Lie Bi was delighted.

At that moment, a guard came running over and respectfully said, "Patriarch, Master Wang Teng."

He looked at Wang Teng. "There is a group of mercenaries outside. One of them, a woman calling herself the Little Fairy Doctor, said she had arranged to depart with you yesterday."

"Tell her I'll be out shortly," Wang Teng said.

After the guard left, Jia Lie Bi asked curiously, "Where are you headed?"

"Green Mountain Town, to take care of something." Wang Teng walked outside.

Jia Lie Bi followed beside him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master Wang Teng, Green Mountain Town is near the Magical Beast Mountain Range. I'll arrange for Elder Jia Lie Lei to secretly follow and protect you. He is a three-star Da Dou Shi. After escorting you back to South Star City, he can also take note of your family shop's location."

"Alright." Wang Teng paused and nodded in agreement.

The mercenaries were all curious and surprised to see the alchemist Wang Teng returning with them to Green Mountain Town.

Along the way, Mu Li tried to strike up a conversation with Wang Teng. After being rebuffed twice, he had no choice but to give up and instead asked the Little Fairy Doctor how she knew Wang Teng.

The Little Fairy Doctor brushed him off with the excuse that she had sought Wang Teng's advice on medicinal herbs.

Several days later, the group arrived safely at Green Mountain Town.

This small town at the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range had a larger population than Wang Teng had expected, with most of those coming and going being mercenaries.

"The Little Fairy Doctor is back."

"What wind is blowing today? Mr. Yao, the owner of Ten-Thousand Medicine Hall, actually came out personally to welcome someone?"

At the entrance to the town, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes sparked lively discussion among the nearby mercenaries.

Ten-Thousand Medicine Hall had nearly monopolized the medicinal herb trade in Green Mountain Town and held an extremely lofty position.

As its owner, Mr. Yao had rarely appeared before outsiders in recent years.

The moving carriage slowly stopped outside the town. The curtain was lifted, and a young man stepped out.

The moment he appeared, everyone felt as though their eyes had lit up.

Then the mercenaries saw Mr. Yao stride quickly over, a warm smile on his face. "Master Wang Teng."

The Little Fairy Doctor introduced him, "He is the owner of Ten-Thousand Medicine Hall. Everyone generally calls him Mr. Yao."

"Hello, Mr. Yao." Wang Teng nodded at him.

"Master Wang Teng must be tired after the journey. I have already prepared food at the shop. Please come inside and rest," Mr. Yao invited.

"Alright." Wang Teng gladly accepted.

The surrounding mercenaries exchanged looks. Watching Mr. Yao lead Wang Teng away, most of them were bewildered until someone mentioned the Blood Surge Pill.

"What? He is Master Wang Teng, the one who refined the Blood Surge Pill?"

"The last time I went into the mountains, I nearly didn't make it back. Luckily, I had a Blood Surge Pill on me."

"Could Mr. Yao have specially invited him here? Setting aside how far Wu Tan City is, there is also a purchase limit on Blood Surge Pills. It would be wonderful if we could buy them in Green Mountain Town."

Before long, word spread that the alchemist who refined Blood Surge Pills had arrived in Green Mountain Town.

In the backyard of Ten-Thousand Medicine Hall.

Mr. Yao, the Little Fairy Doctor, and Wang Teng sat around a table.

More than a dozen bowls covered the table, making for a lavish feast. Some dishes were local products from the Magical Beast Mountain Range and were clearly fresher than those transported over long distances to Wu Tan City.

"Master Wang, this is roasted hind leg of a Red-Eyed Tiger, and this is spicy rabbit head made from Four-Eared Rabbit..." Mr. Yao introduced the dishes. "I did not know your preferences, so I had one serving of every Green Mountain Town specialty prepared."

"Mr. Yao, you are very thoughtful." Wang Teng had eaten dry rations for several days, and his eyes lit up at the sight of the food.

Mr. Yao smiled. "As long as you are satisfied. Then let us eat."

During the meal, he casually asked, "Master Wang, how long do you plan to stay in Green Mountain Town?"

"I'll leave after gathering some medicinal herbs. I'm going to the Alchemist Guild to certify as a second-tier alchemist," Wang Teng replied.

Mr. Yao was surprised. "Master Wang is so young, yet your talent in alchemy is truly enviable."

"Mr. Yao, if you have something to say, just say it." Wang Teng was not foolish. He knew this table full of food could not have been served for no reason.

Mr. Yao smiled. "Straightforward. Then I will be direct, Master Wang. I want to sell Blood Surge Pills in Green Mountain Town."

The mercenaries living here essentially led lives with blades at their throats. Every time they entered the mountains, they risked their lives.

Pills like Blood Surge Pills, which could temporarily increase one's strength, were extremely well suited to these mercenaries. If he could secure a supply, there would be no need to worry about sales.

"After some time, you can send someone to buy them from Wang Teng's Pill Shop in South Star City," Wang Teng said.

"Wang Teng's Pill Shop?" Mr. Yao looked at him.

"My family's shop," Wang Teng answered.

"I understand." Mr. Yao nodded. "What about the price?"

Wang Teng pondered for a moment. "Eight pills per bottle, three thousand gold coins."

With the Samadhi True Fire assisting me now, I can refine Blood Surge Pills very quickly. Earning half the profit from each batch is enough.

After all, Blood Surge Pills are only first-tier pills, and most of those buying them are Dou Zhe.

"So cheap?" Mr. Yao was stunned upon hearing the price. A single pill sold for as much as six hundred gold coins in Wu Tan City.

Wang Teng looked at him seriously. "Mr. Yao, when I refine Blood Surge Pills, I hope they can help those Dou Zhe and let them save their lives at critical moments. So I hope you will not sell them at too high a price."

The education he had received in his previous life, as well as the traditional virtues ingrained in his bones, meant that even after transmigrating, Wang Teng still could not stand to see the hardships of those at the bottom.

If he had the ability, he was more than willing to lend them a hand.
