Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1544: Chapter 1543 Greedy Wu Zheng (Part 1)

The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wu Zheng speak like that, feeling much more assured. At least, Wu Zheng was not entirely determined to support Su Yang, so there was still room for discussion.

Moreover, the Second Elder was confident in the conditions he had put forward and did not believe Su Yang could offer anything better.

As for the Great Might Dragon Gate, the Second Elder knew them well. This sect was slippery, yet greedy. To them, what benefits they could gain were most important.

The Second Elder glanced at Su Yang, thinking to himself, ”You’re coming here empty-handed trying to persuade Wu Zheng? Dreaming!”

However, to be safe, the Second Elder still raised the stakes once more: ”As I said earlier, we can offer three times the amount. I hope Protector Wu considers it carefully!”

Wu Zheng was overjoyed, clearly genuinely tempted.

A smug smile appeared on the Second Elder’s face as he glanced at Su Yang and then swaggered off with Ki Yongchuan.

After sending the two off, Wu Zheng immediately returned to the living room, chuckling at Su Yang: ”Alliance Leader Su, we meet again! Since our last encounter at Qinghe Academy, I’ve been wondering whether Alliance Leader Su would remember us little folks.”

Su Yang smiled, ignoring Wu Zheng’s sarcastic remarks, and replied, ”Protector Wu, before I offer my conditions, I want you to know that I already have five sects supporting me. So, even if your Great Might Dragon Gate doesn’t support me, the end result will be equal votes, making the outcome indeterminate, rendering a negligible impact on the larger scheme.”

Wu Zheng chuckled lightly: ”Alliance Leader Su, you’re not wrong at all. But then, why bother coming to me?”

”I’m someone who doesn’t like dragging things out, so I prefer a decisive result!” Su Yang said. ”I just want you to understand that we’re different from them—we don’t absolutely need your support. So, I hope your Great Might Dragon Gate can recognize its position. After all, if this negotiation fails, it’ll be a long while before the next one. During that interval, choosing sides is key!”

Wu Zheng furrowed his brows, grasping Su Yang’s point. If he chose to support the four sects, the end result would be equal votes, and the cosmic rules wouldn’t change—pretty much meaningless, requiring yet another negotiation.

And before the next negotiation, there would certainly be an interim period. During this time, should he support the four sects, it would align the Great Might Dragon Gate with them. Then, Su Yang would view the Great Might Dragon Gate as enemies to contend with, which is evidently unfavorable!

However, Wu Zheng was only slightly worried and not overly concerned. After all, the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect had assured him earlier that as long as the Great Might Dragon Gate supported them, they would have enough confidence to modify the cosmic rules. As soon as these rules change, there would be chaos, relieving any worries.

Thus, Wu Zheng lightly chuckled again: ”Alliance Leader Su, please continue.”

Su Yang frowned—he originally intended to intimidate Wu Zheng, but seeing the current situation, intimidation wasn’t feasible.

”Let’s discuss business now,” Su Yang said. ”What conditions did they offer you?”

Wu Zheng smiled: ”Straightforwardly revealing their terms would be unethical, wouldn’t it?”

”I told you, I’ll offer better terms,” Su Yang laughed. ”You at least need to tell me what they offered you, right? Otherwise, how can I propose terms to you?”

Wu Zheng thought for a moment, then slowly nodded: ”They provided me with an elixir, a very precious elixir, not inferior to the Great Luo Golden Pill or Immortal Essence Pill!”

What Wu Zheng referred to was actually the Qi Suppressing Pill, which the Medicine Sect used to entice those three sects.

”How much are they offering?” Su Yang asked.

”Unlimited! No limit!” Wu Zheng responded briskly.

”Heh...” Su Yang chuckled: ”Protector Wu, spare me such deceit. No elixir in this world can be provided unlimitedly. If they indeed offered you this condition, I advise you to cooperate with us directly because even the simplest golden sore medicine requires effort and materials to concoct—how can it be unlimited? And pills like Great Luo Golden Pill and Immortal Essence Pill—I’ve already shared the refinement methods with you. How many can your Great Might Dragon Gate produce annually? Can your people consume them indefinitely? He claims unlimited supply—do you believe it? Even if they had endless materials, do they have endless energy to refine them?”

Wu Zheng felt a bit embarrassed, then swiftly smiled: ”The elixir they provided is definitely in large quantities!”

”Large quantity, so there’s a limit!” Su Yang smiled: ”However, my offer is genuinely unlimited. Of course, when I say unlimited, I mean that as long as you provide sufficient materials, we can refine them for you—or I could simply teach you the refinement method so you could produce them yourselves! You’ll never be constrained by others upon this quantity!”

Wu Zheng’s facial muscles flickered; evidently, he was somewhat tempted by Su Yang’s words.

Yet, he did not completely yield and merely smiled: ”Alliance Leader Su, you are indeed generous. But the issue is, the elixir provided by the Medicine Sect has excellent effects—can your elixir compare to theirs?”

Su Yang smiled: ”Since you call me Alliance Leader Su, you should know I am Su Zhan’s son. Half of the Medicine Sect’s elixir recipes were completed with my father’s help. Do you seriously think my father revealed all the recipes to them back then? As Su Zhan’s son, do you really think the elixir recipes I inherited would be fewer than the Medicine Sect’s?”

Wu Zheng’s eyes lit up; Su Yang’s words were quite legitimate.

However, he still hesitated because the allure of the Medicine Sect’s Qi Suppressing Pill was immense. Moreover, the Second Elder had claimed earlier that only they could refine this Qi Suppressing Pill, leaving him wondering what choice to make.

Seeing Wu Zheng’s indecision, Su Yang casually placed the drowsy Little Turtle on the nearby table.

The little fellow was half-asleep, clearly upset by being abruptly awakened by Su Yang, extending a little claw to try and hold onto Su Yang’s hand while simultaneously pouncing over, using its just-grown teeth to nibble on Su Yang’s fingers, kittenishly fierce.

Nonetheless, it was merely playing around, and Su Yang merely felt tickled without feeling any pain.
