My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1447: Chapter 342_4

Tan Xiangmin, upon hearing the voice, breathed a sigh of relief. If Cao Zhen could refine a Trimming Tribulation Avoidance Pill for the Earth Immortal Realm, it would indeed be terrifying. At the same time, he felt somewhat regretful. If Cao Zhen had continued refining and cooperating with their Rare Treasures Commerce Association, the profits would have been massive.

While he was pondering, Cao Zhen’s voice rang out again.

“You’ve already seen the pill, and you’ve seen its effects. As someone from the commerce association, you should know that my pill and my Disciple’s pill can be sold as a bundle. What? You don’t understand what bundling means? It means if you want to buy, you have to buy them both together, understood? Anyway, how to sell is your commerce association’s issue.

You’ve seen the value of the pills, and regarding the three demands you previously mentioned, I can agree to the first one, but the latter two must be changed!”

Tan Xiangmin asked in a low voice, “How does Sect Leader Cao want to change them?” After learning of the effects of the Trimming Tribulation Avoidance Pill refined by Cao Zhen, he guessed that Cao Zhen surely intended to negotiate terms with him, so he wasn’t surprised when Cao Zhen wanted to change the rules.

“Still a 30-70 split.” Cao Zhen said, pointing his finger at Tan Xiangmin, then at himself, “But 30 is yours, 70 is ours. Also, the specific amount of pills to be refined is up to us, not you. Of course, you can rest assured, we won’t act against our previous agreement, and naturally, we will refine a substantial amount of pills. However, we can’t guarantee exactly how many will be refined.”

From now until the end of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, there are still more than forty years, and during these forty-plus years, he and Yi Sheng can’t just do nothing but alchemy.

“A 30-70 split! That’s too much.” Tan Xiangmin immediately shook his head upon hearing and exclaimed, “Our Rare Treasures Commerce Association can at most give you the treatment of a Great Teaching, a 50-50 split, and as for the second day when you decide on the amount of pills to refine, that’s simply impossible. You have to know that massively promoting these two pills takes a lot of manpower and financial resources. If you refine too few pills, we…”

Cao Zhen interrupted Tan Xiangmin before he could finish, waving his hand: “Is the 50-50 split the limit you can offer, or is it the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s limit? Also, in this matter, can you truly make the decision?”

Cao Zhen finally looked up at Tan Xiangmin and said, “I remember you’re just a steward, right? If you can’t decide, find someone in your Rare Treasures Commerce Association who can. That’s it, I’m busy, so if you can’t make a decision, don’t bother me.”

He then looked down again at the Pill Furnace before him.

“This… I really can’t decide, I…” Tan Xiangmin still wanted to say more, but he found that Cao Zhen wasn’t paying any attention to him at all. Sighing helplessly, he took the initiative to exit the room, closed the door behind him, and quickly ran off to find someone who could make a decision.

Cao Zhen, listening to the distant footsteps, slightly pondered. This Rare Treasures Commerce Association actually looked quite like Taobao, merely a porter that produces nothing.

Actually, wanting to get rid of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association isn’t impossible.

You set up Taobao, I can set up a Pinduoduo!

Or, create my own Pinduoduo, and do away with the Rare Treasures Commerce Association? Yet, doing so would be a bit troublesome, that’s true.

Thinking this, Cao Zhen casually picked up a pen and paper and began writing.

Meanwhile, after Tan Xiangmin left, he quickly found the vice-president of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association and recounted the situation he faced.

Sitting across from Tan Xiangmin, an elderly man with gray hair, who seemed extremely old, looked disappointed and lectured, “Xiangmin, you’re my nephew, which is why I entrusted you with this task, but you’ve let me down so much. How are you going to advance and further help me become the president this way! His outrageous demands, how could we possibly agree to them!”

Tan Xiangmin explained in a low voice, “But, Uncle, the pill he refined is truly transformative. The effect of that pill is…”

“Don’t talk to me about the pill’s effect.” The vice-president of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association interrupted with a wave, “You’ve already told me about the pill’s effect, so I agree to the 50-50 split. But the other demands, impossible, and a 30-70 split even more so!

You must always remember, we are people of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association. We are the world’s number one commerce association, not just number one in the Eastern Province!

Even if he’s strong, he’s only strong during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth. No matter how valuable his pill is, it’s only for those below the Earth Immortal Realm. How could we make such a big concession for something so trivial!

Enough, I will personally handle this. You just follow me, don’t say anything, and watch and learn well.”

The elder spoke, getting up to fly outside. He didn’t fly too fast because he was of the Wind Fire Tribulation cultivation base, and he really didn’t dare to use too much force in flying.

Soon the two arrived outside Cao Zhen’s door, with Tan Xiangmin knocking on it again, and a voice from inside the room called out, “The door’s not locked, come in yourself.”

Cao Zhen really was vexed; was refining a pill as difficult as this? Coming over again and again, and besides, choose a different time, as he happened to be at the crucial moment of controlling the pill fire and adding the medicinal ingredients.
