Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Long Chenyu Was Stunned Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Long Chenyu Was Stunned “Jing Yan, I’m only doing this for your own good!”

“You should understand, although your Jing Family is ranked among the top three in Donglin City, what is it compared to the family backing me?

What kind of support can your family offer you?”

“On your own, trying to make the Pill Tower’s business thrive will probably be harder than you can imagine.

Running the Pill Tower is not that simple!”

“Once you have my help, however, the result will be completely different.

A slight leak from between the fingers of my Wen Family is enough for you.”

“Jing Yan, if you are unwilling, I certainly won’t force you as I am a reasonable person.

However, you should no longer think about me selling you this weapon shop.

That’s impossible, and I, Long Chenyu, am not short of Spirit Stones!”

Long Chenyu said several sentences in a row.

His attitude was confident, arrogant, and disdainful, showing no regard for the Jing Family or Jing Yan.

Just listening to his words, one naturally concluded that his offering Jing Yan a twenty percent share of the Pill Tower was a favor.

With him, Jing Yan’s Pill Tower could thrive; without him, it would be ignored.

“Yes!” Just when everyone thought Jing Yan would never agree to Long Chenyu’s terms, Jing Yan suddenly nodded and spoke those two words.

“Jing Yan?” Fourth Elder Jing Tianying, looked at Jing Yan in surprise.

Jing Tianying knew Jing Yan was a Pharmacist, but he couldn’t be sure of what the Pill Tower would ultimately become.

However, one thing was certain, giving Long Chenyu a twenty percent share of the Pill Tower would be a huge loss for Jing Yan.

Looking at Long Chenyu’s attitude, it was clear he would not invest in the Pill Tower, meaning the initial investment would have to be provided by Jing Yan himself.

Once the Pill Tower’s business was on track, Long Chenyu would take twenty percent of the profits.

Furthermore, Long Chenyu would also participate in managing the Pill Tower, allowing him to meddle in its operations and place various disorderly people to work inside.

“Fourth Elder, it’s okay, I have a plan,” Jing Yan said to Jing Tianying with a smile.

Hearing Jing Yan agree to give him a twenty percent share, Long Chenyu became ecstatic.

His gaze flickered, his thoughts whirred, and suddenly he felt that a mere twenty percent share seemed too little; he should have asked for fifty percent, or at least forty percent.

But no matter!

Once the Pill Tower was built, he could continue to infiltrate and expand his influence, forcing Jing Yan to compromise.

If Jing Yan did not yield, he could cause the Pill Tower’s Medicine supply to run out, slowly squeezing Jing Yan out.

“Manager Long, the construction of the Pill Tower has been delayed for quite some time.

Now, let’s not delay any further.

Have all the staff come out from inside, and start by putting away the weapons inside, and then demolish this weapon shop,” Jing Yan said to Long Chenyu, squinting.

“Sure, absolutely!

Ha ha, let’s start immediately then!” Long Chenyu readily nodded in agreement.

In less than an hour, everything was ready.

All the weapons in the weapon shop had been collected by Jing Chenxing using the Space Ring Jing Yan had just given him.

The value of these weapons totaled tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

“Do we really have to give Long Chenyu a twenty percent share of the Pill Tower?”

“That’s too excessive!”

“There’s no choice, what else could Jing Yan do?

Surely not forcibly seize it?

It is said, this Long Chenyu is related to the Wen Family of Lanqu County City.”

“Tsk tsk, having a strong background sure is good, unlike us ordinary adventurers who don’t even have the standing to negotiate with the Jing Family.”

The large gathering of Martial Artists around had still not dispersed, instead growing larger in number.

“I’ll handle it myself!” After the weapon shop was tidied, Jing Yan stepped forward.

“Everyone, step back!

The weapon shop is about to be demolished; let’s prevent any injuries,” Jing Yan loudly told the Martial Artists around.

Without his reminder, these Martial Artists were not foolish and had already spread out to the periphery.

“Whoosh!”

Jing Yan drew his crimson Skyfire Sword; the red sword light shone brightly, and the counter pattern flowed on the blade as a surge of formidable Power welled up.

“Slashing!” Jing Yan shouted, and the red sword light rolled out.

Driven by the Primordial Energy, a vast, astonishing Power enveloped the entire weapon shop building in an instant.

Seeing the Sword Light released by Jing Yan, Long Chenyu was somewhat taken aback internally.

Jing Yan’s strength was indeed terrifying, beyond his ability to confront.

But no worries, even if he were not even an Innate Martial Artist, Jing Yan wouldn’t dare strike him.

“Crack!”

“Boom!”

Following two loud noises, the building covering two hundred square meters completely collapsed amid rising dust.

Watching this scene, Jing Yan nodded in satisfaction, sheathed the Skyfire Sword, and then gently clapped his hands.

“Uncle Chenxing, we can start building the Pill Tower now,” Jing Yan said to Jing Chenxing with a smile.

“Jing Yan, I have quite some insights into the construction of the Pill Tower.

I once stayed with the Wen Family for a while and saw more than the average bumpkin, so let me help build this Pill Tower, and you just give me fifty thousand Spirit Stones,” Long Chenyu spoke up again at this moment.

Jing Yan, upon hearing this voice, looked at Long Chenyu with surprise.

“Manager Long, what do you mean?

When did you switch to construction?” Jing Yan looked at Long Chenyu with a puzzled expression.

“Jing Yan, you misunderstand, I’m not saying I’ll build the building myself, I just have a good understanding of large constructions.

So, if I find people to build this one, you will definitely be satisfied,” Long Chenyu said with a smile.

He was to oversee the construction of the Pill Tower, and for that, Jing Yan was to give him fifty thousand Spirit Stones!

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones, what kind of building would require fifty thousand Spirit Stones?

This Long Chenyu, he really took Jing Yan for a fool.

A building with a thousand square meter footprint, even if it were ten stories high, twenty thousand Spirit Stones would be more than enough, and that would be using top-grade building materials.

But from the start, Long Chenyu was asking for fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Even if Jing Yan knew nothing about construction, he knew what Long Chenyu was up to.

“Manager Long is too kind, but Uncle Chenxing will take care of the construction of the Pill Tower,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

Long Chenyu’s expression changed slightly, and he said with discontent, “Jing Yan, that’s not right.

This Pill Tower is for both of us.

Don’t you trust me?

Even if you decide to have an outsider take charge, shouldn’t you at least consult me?”

Long Chenyu, quite possessive of ownership.

“Oh?”

“Long Chenyu, how is my Pill Tower any concern of yours?” Jing Yan, spreading his hands, didn’t understand the point of Long Chenyu’s words.

“Hmm?” Long Chenyu hesitated internally.

He subtly felt that something was off.

“Jing Yan, did you forget already?

You just agreed to give me a twenty percent share of this Pill Tower.

Since I own twenty percent and will be involved in managing it, I naturally have a part in this Pill Tower,” Long Chenyu said darkly.

“Bastard!” Jing Yan shouted sternly.

“Long Chenyu, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have backing from Lanqu County City.

Here, this is Donglin City.

The ground you’re standing on is the South District Market, controlled by my Jing Family.

How dare you brazenly scam me here?” Jing Yan, his voice firm, called out coldly.

Long Chenyu’s eyes bulged, his face twitching with surprise as he stared at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan had just said here that he would give him a twenty percent share of the Pill Tower.

Now, Jing Yan clearly intended to renege!

Even if Long Chenyu was foolish, he could understand Jing Yan’s implication.

For a moment, his mind went blank, somewhat dazed.

He had never thought that Jing Yan would dare to deceive him.

In his belief, nobody in Donglin City would dare to trick him.

Thus when Jing Yan agreed to his terms earlier, he didn’t even consider the possibility that Jing Yan might go back on his word.

“Jing Yan, you dare to cheat me?” After composing himself for a moment, Long Chenyu exploded in a fit of hysterical rage.

“Long Chenyu, you better watch your words.

When have I ever lied to you?” Jing Yan also glared back somberly.

“Good!

Good!”

“Jing Yan, you’re ruthless.

Just now, in front of so many people, you said you would give me twenty percent of the Pill Tower, and now, just half an hour later, you deny it, right?” Long Chenyu was truly desperate.

If Jing Yan really did not acknowledge it, then his weapon store would be gone, and the previously agreed upon one hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones would definitely not be forthcoming.

“Oh, Long Chenyu, so that’s what you were talking about!

Of course, I won’t deny what I just said.

I, Jing Yan, am not like some people who say one thing and do another.

My words always hold,” Jing Yan stated, suddenly nodding.

Upon hearing Jing Yan speak so, Long Chenyu’s face lit up with joy again.

“However, when I said I’d give you a twenty percent share of the Pill Tower, I didn’t mean the one that’s about to be built here.

I was talking about a Pill Tower in the West District Square.

Long Chenyu, don’t worry, I’ll have someone take you there to check out that Pill Tower soon.

That Pill Tower, although it occupies less than ten square meters, is indeed a Pill Tower.”

“If Manager Long likes that Pill Tower, I would completely be okay with giving you the whole building.

How you want to run it, is entirely up to you.

Yes, don’t be polite with me.

I, Jing Yan, am very easy to talk to,” Jing Yan said with a beaming smile as he looked at Long Chenyu.

Fourth Elder Jing Tianying laughed.

Jing Chenxing also chuckled.

Just now both of them had been worried that Jing Yan really intended to give two-tenths of this forthcoming Pill Tower to Long Chenyu.

Now they understood that Jing Yan had planned it all along.

A Pill Tower in West District Square?

Haha, in West District Square, just find a secluded spot, pick a small building, and hand it over to Long Chenyu.

If there isn’t a suitable building, they could squeeze out a piece of land and just build a ten-square-meter room, the cost of which could be completely controlled within one hundred Spirit Stones.
