Chapter 76
The Medicine Elder was the most excited, but not just because of the effect of the Revival Elixir. There was something more important.
“Leave me and Jiang Chen alone for a moment,” the Medicine Elder said.
It took Xiao Xiao some time to realize the elder was speaking to the two staff of the chamber of commerce and her. She left the room in low spirits.
The steward and Wen Meng looked at each other. They didn’t dare go against the Medicine Elder’s wishes. They closed the door when they walked out of the room.
Meng Hao was nervous to see this. He didn’t know what the Medicine Elder was up to.
“What’s your name?” the Medicine Elder asked.
“Jiang Chen.”
Then Jiang Chen stood up, placing both of his hands on the table, and said seriously, “What if I tell you I have panaceas for the Mental Wander State with a recovery ability of 40% and 50%, or even for the Reaching Heaven State?!”
The Medicine Elder was visibly shocked.
He stood up immediately and grasped Jiang Chen’s arm tightly. He said excitedly, “Are you serious?”
“If I was lying, I wouldn’t get your support, would I?” Jiang Chen smiled.
The Medicine Elder believed him and sat down again.
A school was different from a dynasty. A change in leadership normally wouldn’t bring a reign of terror.
However, it could influence one’s status in the school greatly.
The Medicine Elder was responsible for affairs regarding panaceas, which gave him an indispensable importance in the school. As a result, he didn’t have to support Ning Haotian in order to maintain his status. It was all right for him to stay neutral.
But, it was impossible for him to support Jiang Chen just because of the Revival Elixir.
However, what Jiang Chen had said to him was really a great shock.
“Jiang Chen, you haven’t even made it onto the Talent List. Neither are you a key disciple. It’s still too early to think about leadership succession. Let’s talk about it when you get onto the Talent List. What do you think?
“Now, let’s settle the deal of the Revival Elixir first.”
Jiang Chen knew the elder had actually agreed, but the request had come so suddenly that he preferred to take it with a grain of salt.
Once he became a key disciple, the Medicine Elder would be of great help to him.
“That’s all right. But, elder, today I am selling three kinds of panaceas. The other two kinds are no worse than the Revival Elixir,” Jiang Chen smiled.
“Are you serious?!”
The Medicine Elder was shocked again. He hurried to open the other two boxes.
With Jiang Chen’s introduction, the Medicine Elder showed a great interest in the Black Yuan Elixir and the Sky Yuan Elixir.
He was especially interested in the Sky Yuan Elixir. An elixir that could purify the disciples’ genuine yuan? That would mean a lot to the Natural Law School!
“If there is no problem, I want a thirty-seventy split for these as well, just like the business of the Revival Elixir,” Jiang Chen said.
“Fine!” the Medicine Elder agreed immediately, afraid that Jiang Chen would change his mind.
Then the elder took each of the panaceas and left to report to the leader of the school.
“Jiang Chen, why did you only ask for a thirty-seventy split? I think they would have even accepted a forty-sixty or fifty-fifty split,” Meng Hao said.
“If my family, the Southwind Ridge, were on an equal footing with the Natural Law School, it would be the Natural Law School who gets the thirty percent,” Jiang Chen smiled.
Meng Hao crashed into realization. At the same time, it occurred to him that despite Jiang Chen’s wisdom and sophistication, he was actually younger than himself.
Comparisons were unpleasant.
