Hua Ruge extended her hand out to receive it, but just as she was about to touch the plate, Deacon Wang retracted her hand and said: "But there are conditions to this." "Go ahead." Hua Ruge retracted his hand, his expression not changing.
"We want 10,000 of your Life Continuing Pill every month." The Deacon Wang said.
"This number is a bit difficult, you know ?"
"Solve the difficulty yourself. Are you saying that this number can't be reached?" Deacon Wang interrupted her.
Hua Ruge thought for a long time before finally nodding his head, "Alright."
Only then did Deacon Wang place the sign beside her and said: "However, we plan to temporarily delay the matter of you giving us your name."
It was originally a cover, so she did not take it to heart. However, she still had an anxious expression on her face as she said, "Why is that so?"
"Because if you do, then the other sects will know that you're one of us, and they will still make us hand over the pill formulas." The Deacon Wang continued, "However, you can rest assured that this is only temporary. When the war stops, we will definitely allow you to enter the Pill Palace."
After the war, the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace should have disappeared. Hua Ruge cursed.
"Since it's the Pill Palace's decision, then I will definitely obey. It's just that the deacon will keep his word, right?" She said somewhat nervously.
The Deacon Wang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, our Heaven Seeking Pill Palace will still deceive a child."
"It's just that Sir, you don't know that entering the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is my lifelong dream, so I really care about it." Hua Ruge continued.
"If I say yes, I'll promise you."
"Can there be a written guarantee?"
"Do you want more now?"
"Please forgive me, my lord, or I will never be at ease." Hua Ruge said this with a bit of grievance.
Deacon Wang said helplessly: "I'll help you ask about it when I get back. I'll tell you the news the next time I go to get the pills."
He didn't want to run over again for such a small matter.
"Alright, alright. Then I'll be troubling you, Sir Deacon. Please have some tea." Hua Ruge said as he poured him a cup of tea.
On the way back, the corner of Hua Ruge's mouth raised. If she could get the tag of the duty-free shop, then she would have earned it. As for the pills that she gave each month, compared to taxes, they were nothing at all.
And that pill formula, did they really think it was some treasure?
As she walked, her interest was piqued. She bought a folding fan, and now she looked even more like a scholar.
When she leisurely returned to the shop, the door was already closed. The supply for the day had already arrived and there were already people lining up outside.
She walked into the shop and saw that Zhou Manager was doing the accounting at the counter.
Hua Ruge raised his fan: "There's no rush, I'll have you help me arrange a meeting with the bosses tomorrow, did you do that?"
"Boss, don't worry. I went personally. All the bosses have agreed." Zhou Manager immediately said.
Hua Ruge nodded his head in satisfaction: "Yes, it's settled then."
"Boss, this matter happened today." Zhou Manager handed over the account book.
"Put it into your account. Give me another fifty spirit stones. You can go out and drink." Hua Ruge said generously.
One had to know that it was already considered good for an ordinary dao shopkeeper to have fifty Spirit Stones per month.
"Thank you, boss." The three of them stepped forward.
"Put this outside before you go out. The more conspicuous it is, the better." As Hua Ruge spoke, he already walked out of the door, and casually threw an item behind him.
Zhou Manager caught it, her jaw almost dropped when she saw it.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?"
"You didn't see the tax exemption written on it. It was issued by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace. It means that our Nine Regions Pill House will not have to pay taxes in the future." The Zhou Manager explained excitedly.
That was 30% of the tax, and many stores were pained by this. They never expected their boss to get it just by meeting a Heaven Seeking Pill Palace deacon.
This was simply unbelievable.
"Boss, isn't this way too amazing?"
"Yeah, I thought boss was unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so capable." Another guy said.
Zhou Manager reached out his hand and slapped the shop assistant, "Shut up, why are you talking about our boss behind our backs like that?"
"Didn't you think so too?" The fellow rubbed his head and whined.
"Kid, your skin is tight again, right ?"
After the sign was hung up, the news of the competition had spread throughout the entire Yan Du. Especially towards Hua Ruge and his competitors, they had received the news almost immediately.
The Heaven Seeking Pill Palace had always been stingy with their tax-exempt signs only available in shops opened by their own people. Thus, when they saw the signs on the Nine Regions Pill House, they couldn't help but think too much.
Was this a power from the Heaven Seeking Palace?
Actually, these people who had also activated their Pill Pavilion had originally planned to coerce or coerce the Life Continuing Pill into their hands, but now it seemed like it was already too late.
As a result, these people simultaneously submitted. They decided to honestly discuss the conditions and never start a conflict.
The second day, Hua Ruge did not wake up because there was no one to call, and by the time Zhou Manager called for him, it was already too late. By the time the two of them went to the restaurant together, the others had already waited for a while.
Hua Ruge cupped his fists and said: "Everyone, please forgive me, but I, Hu Dian, had forgotten the time and am willing to drink three cups of wine to apologize."
Zhou Manager curled his lips. I obviously overslept, okay?
Yesterday, he thought this boss was very reliable, but today, he wavered.
She only thought that the owner of the Nine Regions Pill House was trying to intimidate them. If it was in a normal situation, they would have already launched an attack, but when she thought about it, the fire in her heart was extinguished completely.
"Where's the Boss Hu? We just arrived too." One of the boss stood up and said. The first reason he helped Hua Ruge was because he wanted to leave a good impression on her.
"Yeah, we just arrived, Boss Hu, take a seat." The other didn't want to be outdone either.
Hua Ruge lifted his robes and sat down, he realized that all of their expressions were friendly, or perhaps they were pretending to be friendly.
Her brand worked.
The Heaven Seeking Pill Palace would never have thought that her goal was to use the tiger skin as a flag.
You want to take the rewards, but you're not dragged into it?
How could there be such a good thing in the world!
"Please take care of me when I arrive." Hua Ruge cupped his fists again.
"You are too polite, the Boss Hu is young and promising, you should take care of us more."1
"That's right, that's right."
"Everyone, thank you for your praise. I dare not accept it."
After a round of pleasantries, the dishes were all served, and one of them offered it to Hua Ruge: "Boss Hu, that Life Continuing Pill of yours is truly mystical, I won't hide it from you, I had my family's alchemist study it, but I just don't know what the pill formula is."
"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning. Cheers." Hua Ruge was serious about drinking, and after a while her face reddened.
