C879 Special Envoy in Black
"Since President Zhou is concocting pills, we should wait! Alright, General Qin, withdraw! "
Great Qin Emperor said with a smile, his face did not show the slightest bit of concern.
Qin Qin took a deep breath, snorted angrily, and returned to the front of the carriage.
"Emperor, they have gone too far! How is that President Zhou refining some medicinal pill? It is clearly the word 'shirking'!"
Great Qin Emperor's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "No matter. Don't tell me I don't know? Haha, I want to see how long this President Zhou can drag it out!"
"Hmph, how presumptuous!"
Qin Qin furiously harrumphed. He pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber, suppressing the fury in his heart.
At this moment, in the Alchemist Association, an old man with white hair and beard was leisurely drinking tea. Great Master Zhang, Great Master Lee, and Great Master Looh were also sitting beside this old man.
Opposite the four of them was a man in black.
"The new Emperor of Great Qin has arrived. I will take my leave now. We will talk about the matter that I mentioned another day! President Zhou... "
The man in black seemed to have noticed something and stood up to say.
" Hehe, don't worry. That kid won't be able to come in. We should talk about what to do! "
The old man with white hair and beard laughed. The wrinkles on his face were knitted together, making him look extremely gloomy.
He was the Chairman of the Great Qin Empire's Elixir Production Association, Weekly.
He was also the only Holy Grade Pill Refining Master in the Great Qin Empire.
He was also the only existence in the Great Qin Empire that could refine Saint Grade medicinal pills.
The black-clothed man looked at President Zhou's confident face and frowned. He looked outside the door with some worry.
"I heard that the new Great Qin Emperor is a swift and decisive brat. If he barges in..."
"Haha, Envoy, you can rest assured. Even if that young man has guts, he wouldn't dare to intrude into my Alchemist Association!"
Great Master Zhang laughed.
"This... Alright!"
The black-robed envoy hesitated for a moment before sitting down.
He took a deep breath and said to President Zhou," President Zhou, our Great Soong Emperor is very sincere. He especially prepared a big gift for you! "
He took out a red invitation card from his pocket and placed it in front of President Zhou.
President Zhou slowly picked it up and looked at it. His face immediately changed.
"This is..."
The corners of the black-clothed envoy's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He knew that President Zhou would not be able to refuse.
Great Master Zhang, Great Master Lee, and Great Master Looh curiously came over to take a look. Their expressions changed drastically.
"This is an ancient pill formula! Sacred medicinal pill! Heaven Mending Pill!"
President Zhou's hands began to tremble.
Heaven Mending Pill was an ancient pill formula that had been lost in history. It was different from other Saint Grade medicinal pills. The Heaven Mending Pill's ingredients were very simple, and it was also very easy to refine. It was the best practice medicinal pill for a Saint Grade Pill Refining Master.
Although President Zhou was a Saint Grade Pill Refining Master, he could not steadily refine a Saint Grade medicinal pill.
At his stage, he needed a large number of medicinal pills to practice.
However, whether it was the quality or the materials, it was very difficult to collect Holy Grade medicinal pills. President Zhou could only obtain three or four sets of ingredients every day.
Three or four sets of ingredients might seem like a lot, but in reality, the success rate of a Sacred medicinal pill was extremely low.
Not everyone was as absurd as Ye Xu.
If there were no suitable pill recipes and ingredients, President Zhou would probably stop here for the rest of his life. As such, he repeatedly applied for ingredients from the Great Qin Empire.
However, the Great Qin Empire's human rights had been replaced, so it was not in the mood to collect ingredients.
Now, the Great Song Empire had taken out a trump card, and it wasn't just for President Zhou to practice with.
Even Great Master Zhang, Great Master Lee, and Great Master Looh could use it for practice.
Therefore, the expressions of the four Pill Refining Master instantly changed.
The black-clothed special envoy smiled and said while the iron was hot, "Great Soong Emperor has prepared a thousand sets of ingredients for the Heaven Mending Pill for the four great masters, and this is only the first batch. In the following months, he will provide no less than 500 sets of ingredients for medicinal pills!"
"Hiss..."
"A thousand sets of medicinal ingredients for the Heaven Mending Pill... "
"Five hundred sets of ingredients per month..."
"This... this is way too generous!"
The black robed envoy smiled and said, "Haha, our Great Song Empire has a vast territory and is rich in natural resources. What we lack are not materials, but talents! As long as President Zhou can raise his arm and shout, our Great Song Empire will definitely treat everyone with the best treatment!"
" This... I'm afraid this is not appropriate... "
President Zhou smiled. He placed the Heaven Mending Pill formula on the table with a calm expression.
Great Master Zhang understood what he meant and immediately smiled.
He said, "Envoy, our Great Qin Empire treats us like distinguished guests. We have betrayed the Great Qin Empire just like that. It's unreasonable for us to do so!"
The black-clothed envoy's eyes flashed as he cursed in his heart.
President Zhou and Great Master Zhang's words were simply for him to hear. They were simply asking for a sky-high price.
If he really wanted to reject them, he could just chase them away. Why did he have to explain himself?
However, this situation was already within the expectations of the black-clothed special envoy. He said with a smile, "Haha, President Zhou, Great Master Zhang. Our Great Soong Emperor has already expected your concerns. I don't know if I should say it or not."
Great Master Zhang's eyes narrowed and he smiled. "Haha, Envoy, there's no harm in saying it. We are the most democratic!"
"Old fox..."
The black-clothed envoy cursed in his heart, but his face remained as still as a mountain.
"We all know that the Great Qin Empire is in a precarious situation, and the princes are fighting for the throne. Even though Second Prince has successfully ascended the throne, the Great Qin Empire has already been split into two. No matter if it's the strength of the nation or the others, they have all suffered heavy losses. It would be quite difficult to establish a massive Pill Refining Guild. Recently, I've heard that the Pill Alchemist Association can only get half of the required herbs. Perhaps even a third!"
Great Master Zhang's eyes flashed and he said, "Haha, the envoy's information is still very well-informed! However, the Great Qin Empire has treated my Pill Refining Association well, so we should leave now... "
"Haha! As far as I know, even though you're called the Great Qin Empire's Pill Refining Association, you're only cooperating with the Great Qin Empire, so you're not part of the Great Qin Empire, right? "2
"A good bird chooses a tree to live on. This is a famous saying throughout the ages. My Great Song Empire's strength and resources are far above that of the Great Qin Empire. What we lack are people, not money..."
The black-clothed envoy's voice gradually became cold.
"In this world, resources are capital. Our Great Song Empire is rich. Naturally, we can recruit top tier Pill Refining Master, hehe... Before I left, Great Soong Emperor told me something. If it really doesn't work, then we can only go to the Heaven Domain to find someone!"
When these words came out, everyone including President Zhou's face changed.
In the Heaven Domain, there weren't only assassins. As long as they had money, they could exchange for anything.
Of course, the price was also huge.
