Chapter 77
There was an unimpressive rock mountain in the Natural Law School. Piled up by rocks, it was far from an agreeable landscape. It also didn’t have abundant spirits of the universe.
However, this was where the center of the school, the Palace of the Natural Law, was located.
The Palace of the Natural Law was situated inside the rock mountain. There was no entry from the outside.
The Medicine Elder came in a hurry. His elder token had started to radiate when he was about five meters away from the rock mountain. And then he vanished.
He appeared in the Palace of the Natural Law in a second.
Although called a palace, it was actually a vast dark space, with a giant tree emitting a green radiance, so that one could only vaguely see.
The Medicine Elder was looking at the tree with a serious expression. He didn’t even dare breathe too hard.
“No, I’m not. I trust the Natural Law School,” Jiang Chen said.
The Medicine Elder smiled bitterly while shaking his head. Of course he wouldn’t believe what Jiang Chen had said. In his opinion, Jiang Chen could only keep so calm because those of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce were still safe and sound, so he could tell the school wasn’t interested in harming him.
Jiang Chen had thought about it, but this reason wasn’t enough for him to rest easy.
But what could he do? If the school had forced him to surrender the recipe, he would no doubt have to do it. If the Natural Law School hadn’t agreed to a thirty-seventy split, he would have no way to right the wrong.
He could stay so calm because he knew the Natural Law School didn’t threaten people.
When they were discussing the split, the Medicine Elder didn’t even try to bargain with him.
They wouldn’t be so cruel to kill him directly.
“Fine. You need to bear in mind that you should never expose or tell others your recipe,” the Medicine Elder said.
“Got it. But, Elder, could you give me a part of the profits in advance? I’m short on money right now,” Jiang Chen said.
“Sure. How much do you want?”
Jiang Chen grinned and told him a number.
It was an enormous figure for disciples like Wen Meng, but the Medicine Elder didn’t hesitate to agree.
In this way, Jiang Chen and Meng Hao returned to the Redcloud Peak by airship, an airship of the latest model. It only took them a few minutes to arrive.
“Where did you get the airship?” Wen Xin looked suspiciously. She knew Jiang Chen and Meng Hao had gone to sell panaceas, but she hadn’t expected they could afford an airship with the profits.
The important thing was whether they had spent only a part of the profit on the airship, or all of it.
If it was the latter, they would barely have enough food to maintain life in the Redcloud Peak.
“Princess, here is your disciple token.”
Jiang Chen hadn’t returned it to her since he borrowed it.
“Check the contributions stored in it,” Meng Hao said. He couldn’t wait to see Wen Xin’s reaction.
Wen Xin was frowning while she injected her genuine yuan into the token.
Soon, she saw a number.
Wen Xin took a deep breath and opened her eyes wide. She pointed at the number with a trembling finger and started to count, “One, two, three, four… four zeros! That’s too much!”
“I told you I would pay you back ten times over,” Jiang Chen said.
