Chapter 3123 — Han Jingyi's Invention
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
If such a thing actually went on the market, Wei Zhao could foresee how sought-after it would be. What sect wouldn't want to buy one? It would not only raise the success rate of pill refining, but any fire-attribute cultivator could refine pills—no longer was the wood attribute a requirement. Which sect or family would pass that up?
Buy one, and you'd no longer have to bow and scrape to the Xuandan Sect and the Cultivators' Commerce Association. And any time, anywhere, you could just refine whatever pill you needed. How impressive, how convenient!
What amused Wei Zhao most was that Kang Jingming had flooded the market with first- and second-tier pills to undercut his business. Well, now things had changed. Second-tier pills were still beyond Wei Zhao for the moment, but as for first-tier pills, Kang Jingming's stock would probably pile up into a mountain. He would have to dump them at a loss—otherwise, who would buy them? Refining your own was far cheaper.
Wei Zhao had been wondering how to get one over on Kang Jingming, and then Han Jingyi delivered this heaven-defying gift. It was like finding a pillow the moment you felt sleepy. If Kang Jingming found out, he'd probably be fuming.
"Jingjing, this thing of yours really solves a huge problem!" Wei Zhao said with a sigh. Money from the ancient sects and hidden families was actually hard to earn. A single life-extending, toxin-expelling pill of his could fetch hundreds of millions at auction in the mundane world—but on the hidden and ancient levels? No.
It was like fruit: one price at the place of origin, another after being flown abroad. But Han Jingyi's invention was a weapon for raking in cash.
"Mm-hm, but as for exactly how much to sell it for and how to sell it, Jingjing doesn't know!" Han Jingyi said. "But Brother Wei Zhao, you could give the distribution rights to the mundane Liu family and let them handle production and sales!"
"The mundane Liu family?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had originally planned to cooperate with Vice President Ouyang of the Cultivators' Commerce Association—after all, Vice President Ouyang was a trustworthy friend, and Wei Zhao could hardly forget him when something good came along. But unexpectedly, Han Jingyi had proposed giving the distribution rights to the Liu family.
Shooting her a rather odd look, Wei Zhao suddenly recalled how Han Jingyi had pleaded on behalf of the mundane Liu family before. What connection did Han Jingyi have with them? But this was her invention; she was essentially giving it to Wei Zhao for free so he could make money, and he was already deeply grateful. Since she wanted the Liu family to have it, then the Liu family it would be. Wei Zhao nodded. "All right, we'll do as you say." (To be continued)
